"Double Dip Delight" 09.27.2008 - Chapter 4!

[shoes99]

Well, I went away for a little while and came back to a big response re the Giants.

Shoes 99 and Stacy's DH--I know w/whom my DH will be hanging on Sunday. As big a Giants fan as he is, I'm sure he'll be happy to hang w/all the football fans, such as your DH, Heather!

If anyone was watching the Giants game, there is a guy on Cincinatti w/very, very long, frizzy hair--a defensive lineman. One of my DDs said that his hair is longer than mine, but that my hair "isn't as bad as his." Nice, huh?

Funny.
To all GIANTS FANS, they have a BYE week while we are on the cruise.....Michele

Thanks for the GC advice.

We decided not to go with Nativeway. Our DD would not like the reef.

I want to do the beach and the stingrays, I'm sure we'll see you there.

I'm calling Red Sail Sports tomorrow. The big question I can't figure out, the ferry is "still" out according to their website. I'll ask them how to get from the tender pier to Rum Point, from Rum Point you can do the rays. I'll post the answer here if any is interested. Funny, when I read DCL description of the Rum Point/Rays, it sounds like the same company. Red Sail only charges 30 bucks!

Hugs to sick babies (alex and elliott) and MORE hugs to stressed Mommies. staying in the hosptial is so horrible, I feel for both of you

We are HUGE Eagles fans....we plan to watch the Sunday night game against Da Bears...I even bought a NEW eagles shirt, Dh is packing his jersey!

I got A TON of packing done today, all the kids, all of dh's casual and his more dressier stuff is together just not in a bag yet, I have to go get some wire hangers...

Just told the DH. He said, "Oh, yeah, that's right." So, I guess, even though he'll still watch football, maybe he won't be so glued . . .

 

[beachbratt]

We're doing it too - but we're a party of three and expect to be just us. My hubby doesn't want to share the driving, so he's willing to pay for the extra seat to have the driving all to himself - crazy man!!

That's good some more of the Dis people are going...hopefully you won't have to pay for the 4th seat what are the odds of just 1 person going.... see ya there...Renee

You might hit some bumps in the air. There's a system off the eastcoast that should keep this thing south. Hopefully it starts to move. It's been sitting there for almost 2 or 3 days.

Thanks for keeping us updated.........I REALLY just need to get to the boat!!!

We packed our Bears jerseys too! Reese loves to match Daddy and I match because I don't want to be the odd man out!

We're about 1/2 way packed. Jeff asked me to do the last loads of laundry on Wednesday because he needs some of his clothes between now & then. So we won't be fully packed (and weighed!) until Thursday.

Tomorrow, we're heading to a wild animal safari park with our little homeschool CoOp group, so between the hour drive there & back and our visit, I doubt I'll get anything done for the trip!

I took Reese to a birthday party today & one of my friends asked me "When do you leave on your cruise?" When I said "Saturday"...I thought...WOW...it really is just around the corner!!!!

DH is a big Packers fan - our CC day sort of cuts into that ballgame.

They did the Monday night game on the Dumbotron last year - that was nice for those with kids who wanted to swim!

GO PACKERS!!

We will be there watching the game, we won't have our jerseys on though because they are Favre jerseys. Haven't ordered new Rogers jerseys for the family yet.

My car ('08 Altima) is probably totaled. The whole engine compartment was just accordioned in

I'm so sorry about your accident. Glad you are okay. How scary!!

Off topic.. does anybody know what the weather is like in Orlando and the port area? I am trying to figure out how to pack. Thanks!!!

There's a thread on the DDD website in the "General Discussion" forum with all the weather links I could find.

Try out wunderground if you can't get into DDD.

My family and Denise's are on the 4:40 PM Airtran flight! It just needs to hold off long enough for us to get to FL, then I really don't care what happens..........we are on vaca, right?

So I was talking to Amy and Dave (TheDisneyGirl02 and DBK1029) and they are enjoying being at WDW (like who wouldn't???).

They are staying at POR and had requested a room with a king size bed. So last night when they check in, they are given a room in the Bayou section. Well, they were given a handicap room which means there is no tub. Now after the long days of walking and walking and walking (we all know WDW), Dave likes to soak his feet in the tub for a few minutes. He says that this helps rejuvenate them for the next day of walking. So, he gets on the phone to the desk and they tell him that he requested this on their reservation - NOT. They definitely wanted the king size bed but neither one of them would think of requesting a handicap room when neither has a need for one - (1) that would just take one away from someone that really needs it and (2) the aforementioned tub.

They inform him that there is no other room available at that time that has a king size bed. They checked all the other mods and nada. However, they would have something available today. They tell him to call back in the AM to confirm that he wants it and arrange to have their luggage picked up and stored. Dave asked to talk to a manager to confirm it right then and there as they had an early morning breakfast at CM. So, everything is squared and they go to sleep. This morning they call to have the luggage picked up and just before they leave for breakfast, they see the "red" light on the phone. Checking the message it is the front desk telling them to call to confirm the change in room prior to 11AM Just to be on the safe side, Dave called and confirmed - again.

So - today they had a great breakfast at CM - for some reason he likes the peanut butter and jelly pizza along with just about everything else they offer - even though he's not really a breakfast person. Then they headed over and spent the day at MK. Amy said they must have had some kind of function with the American Cancer Assoc as there were a lot of kids there with that organization. I thought that would be kind of sad, but Amy said that really if you saw their faces, they looked like they didn't have a care in the world. Guess the magic works to brighten their lives even for a short time.

Around 5PM, they headed to the Poly for dinner at Kona Cafe. This was the first time for both of them and they both enjoyed their dinner!!

After dinner they headed back to POR to find out where they would be sleeping for the rest of the trip. They are still in Alligator Bayou and I'm happy to say - in a room with a king size bed and a tub!!!!

According to them - tomorrow is Epcot and dinner at Le Cellier (I hate them)!

Crissi

YUP! That's really all I'm concerned about. I just want the flight to be able to take off on time and land reasonably on time. We have tickets to the MNSSHP and I'd hate to miss it. I don't care what happens once I'm down there!!! I've said from the start, if I can't get on a flight to get out of PHL; I'll just grab a car and drive down!!!! I'm not going to miss that boat!!!!!!
