Friday the 13th (so I'm glad we're not driving on the road today) AND it's our 7th Anniversary today. So shouldn't the lucky #7 cancel out any bad Friday the 13th stigma?

Happy Anniversary!

Got the return call and right now DVC isn't letting us book that cruise on points so what they suggested is book it with Disney with a deposit and than if they get to book this cruise they will convert it over. O decisions decisions!! Also, if final payment is made than we can't use our points.

Is it just me or does everyone else think the excursion options in GC is limited and very expensive?

So what did we plan? A road trip from Texas to Pigeon Forge, TN and a visit to Dollywood! Tee he he he

We loved Pigeon Forge though & the whole area was stunning and beautiful. We drove straight through to come home (15 hrs) and made it home last night around 2am. The kids (Reese,4 and Jessie, 14) did amazing in the car that long.

We love that area. DH and I honeymooned there (though didn't make a visit to Dollywood) and we went back for DS 1st Birthday (again no visit to Dollywood). I would much rather wander around Cade's Cove and the Pigeon Forge area. The aquarium there was nice as well.

Epperbiker, thanks for all the links. I'll be checking them out this weekend.

I'm sure several of you recall from one year ago, almost to the date, that Hadley said something along the lines of "everytime I see your DIS name, Kimberly, I'm hungry". Well, the DD's on the 10/25 thread have said the same thing! So I pointed them to page 50ish of our first thread because some didn't know what the candy nor the nut. I was cracking up recalling that memory! THINK PINK DRESS! For those of you new to this discussion, check out the link I put in here for Page 50 for some entertainment. Read a few pages past that, too!

....how do I advertise "you met me on the DIS!" so folks will just run up and say hi? ....

I have a couple of suggestions:

• At this point, we plan to wear our DDD t-shirts only on embarkation day
• Some (almost 300 actually) got their name in for the lanyards, so if you see our lanyards with our logo nametags, that's a great way to recognize people.
• We've talked about having a DIS Meets before the muster drill. That will start the association of faces for the week. (That needs organized yet, btw....
  
  
• If you're not on the lanyard list, make your own nametag with our logo and attach it to a lanyard you may be wearing yourself or laminate it to make a "button"/badge to wear.

...So what did we plan? A road trip from Texas to Pigeon Forge, TN and a visit to Dollywood! Tee he he he
...We had planned to stay for a 2 day visit, but only stayed for about 1/2 day.

...AND it's our 7th Anniversary today. So shouldn't the lucky #7 cancel out any bad Friday the 13th stigma?

Happy Anniversary!!!!

I went to Pigeon Forge for the first time 2 years ago during Memorial Day weekend. STUNNING is so right. We found a lot of trails up the mountains that we took, and some *beautiful* waterfalls. If you ever go and brave the steepest trail that takes you to the highest point....they're not kidding about it being steep. I can't tell you how many times walking only 15 more steps was more than you could take! It was well worth it once you got to the top though! Many people passed us on our way up saying they turned around and just couldn't do it anymore. DEFINATELY not a time to push a stroller with all that added weight! We had no problems making this 2 full days worth of exploring only the Smoky Mountains and no shopping.

It's always on Buckeye Gal's signature! Enjoy!

....and always in Post #6!

Thanks again!!! BTW, are you registered on the DDD website? If so, it would be great to have these posted there so it's easier for us to find the links!

 

[Epperbiker]

Absolutely have to agree with you... DW and I were married in one of the old churches in Cades Cove, inside the National Park.

I am registered and can add these to the site. Should we add a link category for Grand Cayman?

We never got a call from DCL about the port change. Are they only calling those who booked directly through them (we booked through our TA)? Anyone else who booked with a TA get a call from DCL? Of course our TA emailed us about it long ago.

Choose "Other" and then put in Grand Cayman in the blank.
