WOW< thanks for the GREAT advice, can I ask a few more questiosn?

I already purchased insurance thru Disney, can I cancel it and if so will it be cheaper with insuremytrip.com

how much do you put for per person medical?

My quote was between 250.00-375.00, is that good?

I am SO clueless when it comes to all of this

Thanks

We went through insuremytrip.com and it was cheaper then going with the Disney insurance. I did research on it first and the companies seem very good.

Jason and I love that show! We watched it, too!

(and congrats on your fabulous new CD Kimberly.....and thanks for making a donation to Jason and I walking in the AIDS Walk! )

Oh and the Deadliest Catch show scares me! I like it, but I worry when I watch it.. lol It's like that show on the ice roads. Do you watch that? I like that one too.

Hey it's Monday! Time for a new Question of the Week Since there are some people who love DCL who are not otherwise Disney fanatics and not everyone has sailed on DCL before here is one to get to know each other better which isn't even Disney related (but don't get too used to that!):

What is the last music (CD, download, etc.) you got for yourself and what do you hope to get next?

[/I].

The last Cd I bought was Matthew West. He came to our church to sing and it was awesome! I downloaded Buck Cherry (Crazy ***** I think it's called) Yes, I go to extremes.. lol I love all kinds of music.

My kids are into country. We just won tickets to the rodeo where Emerson Drive is doing a concert so they can't wait.

Mike downloads all the classic rock like Led Zepplin. yuck.. sorry, I don't like him.. lol

Midnight EST of the day calculated... which makes it 10 pm the night before here in Denver.

Hope that helps!

 

[doug46]

Thanks Fizzgig. I thought Denver was only an hour behind the Central Time Zone. Wouldn't that make it 11:00 pm for you? In any event, we out here in the Eastern Time Zone will have to stay up until 1:00 am. Doable!

No, you're right, I meant Eastern... Sorry about that! I'll go fix it right now.

 

[Hoagie Pie]

I love the trucker ice show!! I thought I was the only one that watched that.

 

[doug46]

Thanks for the clarification Fizzgig. That is even better. Now I would only have to stay up until midnight. Probably won't, unless there is something the wife really wants to make sure I get booked. But it its nice to know what the rules are just in case.

Alex is fine, surgery went well. He's back to his normal self, hopefully he'll be hearing much better now.

Thanks again for all the good thoughts/prayers/pixie dust.

I'm so glad to hear everything went well!

I paid off the cruise!! Wahoo! Now, I just have to wait for it. Waaahhh....

Woo Hoo!!

You're welcome. To add what Brandie stated, it is indeed midnight EDT running into the actual day noted on the calculator. Since there may be some in Indiana (not sure if we have any) who do not go to Daylight Savings, I just wanted to make sure it's clear it's EDT. (sorry...it's the anal side of me being precise)

One other point of clarification to pass along that I've read is that you should not be sitting at your computer all logged in and waiting for that magical time to arrive. The system will not recognize you as being allowed to book. You MUST login at midnight so the time refreshes.

Oh that's wonderful news! Thanks for the update! Ice cream tonight!

 

[Fizzgig]

skoi: I'm glad your little DS came through fine!

Buckeye Gal: Yup, you're a PM. You're able to juggle all those dates, locations, and requirements! Honestly, when I typed it, I realized I had never seen whether it was Daylight Saving Time or not. Either way, Pulaski County, Indiana, had a DST update (for Java) the other day which made me think they had finally given in. However, my Arizona co-workers are still without time savings.

ETA: Yes, I ended up calling DCL. The nice lady said (after laughing about being stumped) that their computers open up at midnight their time, no matter what time of year it was. We would have to do the math past that. In June, they will be 2 hours ahead of me, and still on Daylight Saving Time.

How's that for an answer???

OMG that's too funny!

(It's easy to smell those PMs out, isn't it?!)

 

[Buckeye Gal]

Oh! Brandie...I was thinking about this two nights ago....how's the packing going for the big cruise coming up in a couple of weeks?! Everything in place and everyone excited?

Yeah right!!! DH can't keep straight which week we're going, so he told people at work he'd be out starting next week... He's been freaking me out because he kept telling me his online class ended as we got on the boat (not true). I still have some things packed from the New Orleans trip, but most everything else is all over the house. We finally found swimsuits for kiddo this past weekend, so I get to start doing laundry this weekend. I just need to make a Wal-greens run for sunscreen and such. DH says my roots aren't showing, so I don't have to worry about getting my hair "did" this weekend, thankfully... 'cause I'm a natural redhead... really...

But at least the fish extender and DH's tux pants are finished, and I've designed our door decoration for kiddo. You know, priorities!
