"Double Dip Delight" 09.27.2008 - Take 3!

[googles111]

No docs for me either

What I'm worried about is that my townhouse is part of four that are set back from the road behind this old house (although each townhouse has a "number" on that road - i.e. "124 whatever road "). I often order stuff through my company store and it is delivered by fed-ex. Unfortunately, the fed-ex delivery man keeps leaving everything on the front porch of this old house (luckily it is converted to several apartments so people tend to leave it out front). Don't actually remember a UPS delivery in recent months so I'm worried that if UPS is as confused as Fed-ex, he might leave my envelop at the wrong place!!!

For those that have gotten theirs, is it just a regular size envelope with a UPS label? Is it in one of those UPS letter things?

I should add juggling my crack berry. My husband and I both work in TV on morning shows. We ride to work together an hour each way. I've read all 188 pages on this post from my black berry. I read to him while we're driving. He thinks I'm nutts, well, I am. On Thursday mornings I make him listen to the DIS Unplugged Podcast. Off to bed!

Other than DISNEY where do you most like to go on vacation?[/COLOR]

Wow, everybody else goes on nice trips. We usually just go to the beach or camping. We went to NY and Boston a long time ago and liked that. Legoland was fun too!

Well if this storm heads on the path that its being predicted, my family and I will be leaving the area sometime Sunday morning. I'm not looking forward to this, while we didn't have any damage after Katrina it was a very tense time. I'm just not sure that right now I'm emotionally ready to handle all of this again.

I'm sorry, hope everything works out okay for you.

stay safe and update when you can

I am doing the happy dance, nope no documents yet. but I did just order myself new carryon luggage. I found a company that sells VB luggage 40% off rather than the 25% off sale price. They have free shipping and monogramming too.

Amy: just think one day closer...sigh

LOVE LOVE LOVE Vera Bradley, Crissi and my friend Amy got me hooked! I love capri Melon...my carryon and the daisy pattern
What pattern did you order?

We are staying at Caribbean Beach Resort on Thursday and Friday night. Question: Are there any nice sit down restaurants nearby that DH and I should try? Looking for a unique dining experience. Also, has anyone used the Resort Child care services before?

I have not used the resort child care but I would in a heartbeat, heard great things about it! We LOVE the Boardwalk area for hanging out, and there are some great places for dinner, the kids would enjoy it also!

Also LOVE Ohana...might be able to catch fireworks!

Let us know what you decide

Thanks for all of the dining ideas everyone!

We have a 7:45pm reservation

We are there a little earlier. We got the fist set of reservations during the MNSSHP at 7:00 pm. Friends of our who go to Disney sseveral times a year highly recommended it and siad it is close to the parade route.

 

[pfishgirl]

you still don;t have your airfare?

For the cruise, Yes, we have tickets

These are for DH & his friend who are going to Florida to do some odd and ends at our house.. They have patio furniture to put together BEFORE all 12 of us get there for the cruise

I'm sending prayers your way! Your area does not need another bad storm after Katrina. Stay safe! If you need to head towards NC you can come stay at our house!

We are getting tornados from Fay today. One hit a few miles from here. They are small most of the time and just knock down trees, but it always stresses me out! I hate it even more when the kids are at schook and I'm not sure if they are safe.

I haven't eaten at Shutters in a long time it seems to get so so reviews. I would consider taking a cab to one of the other resorts to eat at. Maybe Boma at AKL, Ohana or Kona at the Poly, Whispering Canyon Cafe at the WL.

We have ADR's at Whispering Canyon Cafe before MNSSHP on Friday. Boma is a great choice too! Yum, Yum, Zebra Domes!

Close? The parade is right outside of their door

It IS a great place, sometimes it is a little cold though, so come preparred. Once we couldn't wait to get out of there, lol

They serve all the food on Skillets and you can get as many skillets as you want to..

 

[Magic3forme]

What pattern did you order? I dont know the name, , it is black with pink elephants. my dd will love it, elephants are her absolute favorite. I wanted capri blue, but they were sold out of the luggage bag. I almost got the red, but I am more of a pink girl.

Good......I was starting to worry for you...

 

[Maggie62677]

AWWWW MAN!!!!!! NO UPGRADE!!!!!! So, who is near FatCat????? 7504

We're about 100 doors down from you in 7606! So if you need someone to drink some of the 'good stuff' with my DH will most likely be your man!

Hey People,

We're getting close, and I'm sorry that I mostly lurk, but I don't want to be left out of any 'get togethers' on the ship.

Is there a link anywhere or a schedule?

I don't know how social we'll be, but I def want to get together!

It's me (30 F), DH 41 computer geek, DD 8 & DD 4.

Thanks!

Meredith

Hey, Meredith! WELCOME!!! I'm sure you will have many opportunities to get together with some of the crazy folks on here!

We got our Stateroom #6146 can anyone tell me what category that is? We paid for a Cat 8 GTY. Thanks!

That is AWESOME!!! You got a CAT 6 upgrade - woo-hoo!!!

Yes! I've been 'under the covers' with so much going on...DS4 starting Pre-k (This is a child who has never been out of Mom or Dad's sight since birth) and also have made a few trips to Alabama to see DM70. She had Coronary bypass and valve replacement in June and we've been hoping that she recovers well enough for the cruise. And had to buy a vehicle, and Tropical Storm Fay, etc.

It sounds like so many of us REALLY NEED THIS VACATION!!!

Many hugs for you! My little guy started K3 last week also, and well....I'll have to keep you posted...maybe now is the time for that coffee....

Ok Ladies...those of you who have 'curves'....I just came from Avenue. they are having an incredible sale. I got skorts for $5-$10. They had some cute sundresses for $19. shorts for $10....It appears that they are attempting to move their summer stock to make way for winter items.

I got a nice dress from there about 2 weeks ago...LOVE IT! Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for all the good wishes and prayers for Alex. I'll let you know how things go.

Julie

Yes, please let us know how things are...we're all here for you!

How long is everyone's Fish Extender? I'm working on mine right now and by my calculations I'm looking at it being 8" wide and 37" long.

We are just for a day though we will be at the CR on the night of the 4th.

We are going to hit Epcot till 2pm then have tea at the GF and then finish the night with MNSSHP. The 5th we will wake up load up the car and then head over to the MK for breakfast at the Bakery and then ride a couple attractions and head home. I took off Monday so I could recover and cry about having to go back to work

We are at VWL Oct 4-6. Michelle and Will are leaving the am of the 5th. The rest of us are doing MNSSHP on the 5th.

I think the kids are doing MK on the 4th. I don't know what Joe and I doing yet maybe Food and Wine at Epcot than the 6 of us are meeting up for dinner at Raglan Road.

 

[TheDisneyGirl02]

After the cruise, my DBF and I flying back home. We're spending time at WDW starting on the 20th of September until the day we set sail. We're doing the MNSSHP on both the 23rd and the 26th (having dinne at LTT on the 23rd). The 4th is my birthday, my twins birthday (obviously) and my mom's birthday so we're hoping to get home in time to have a birthday dinner with my family. Did I mention my dad's birthday is Oct. 3? If he would have been born 20 minutes later, we all would have been born on the same day!
