From WDW to DL With Love - January 06, 2011 part 4

[glindamood]

Jeff is still adding to the website. He was caught up (what you're seeing) but he's gotten another round of emails and PMs. We're now 14% of the available staterooms.

Congrats!

One can never have enough shoes. I have expensive tastes too. If I ever get this last 20 pounds off, I'm buying myself a pair of Manolo Blahniks (have the pair picked out already). I usually pack around 8 pairs for the long cruises. I have a couple pairs that are multi-purpose. However, since we're shipping our bags home and not letting Delta get any more money from us, I may go ahead and pack more....

He is doing just a good job on the website and it has to be tough doing that and all his other responsibilities at the same time.

On the shoe subject - I work in a causal environment so I don't have as many as I did when I had to wear something other than jeans or capris to work. I do love my Birkenstocks though - but 6 of 7 pairs of those don't take up as much room as that many pairs of heels in a suitcase - tennis shoes are the worst. Gotta wear those on the plane - right after I buy a new pair that is.

Morning everyone!

Val, thanks for the info on Aruba. I'm so tempted to go with you all, but imy kiddo is finally old enough to scuba so we are going to try the discover scuba excursion and see how we like it..."get our feet wet" so to speek

Well, another HOT one here today! I know I should be grateful, but I am getting sick of using the a/c. I went running last night at 6:30 and it was over 80 deg F! But, at least we don't have humidity, so the mornings and evenings are cool.

I hope everyone has a great day!
Melissa

Sorry you won't be joining us but hope you have a great experience with the intro to scuba. We did that on a past cruise and my DH LOVED it. He would be thrilled to do it again but I have inner ear issues which don't allow me to equalize the pressure and it is very painful for me, even when I only go down 10 feet. Went to an ENT who gave me pills to try but no go. Plus when I put on the tanks, no matter how much I adjusted the weights I felt like a turtle who couldn't right her self, kept turning onto my back.

Northern California is also experience unusual hot weather, I know all of you in the rest of the country will laugh but it has been in the high 80s for 3 days and we are dying. Most in SF do not have ac in their homes, instead we hang out in the frozen section of the grocery store. We also can't deal with temps below 50. I know we are such wimps.

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to share some great news we got last night. Our daughter Brooklyn was cast in a huge Christmas show that is here in SD each year.

She has worked so hard this past year on tap and got the part that she wanted! She is going to be a Toy Solider (basically a mini version of the Radio City Musical Hall Show). When I showed her the cast list she screamed and almost started crying. It was so very cute!!!

Here is a link to last years promo video...it shows just a sampling of this amazing Christmas show!

Brooklyn, I love your signature and like others have said I may try to use it on a tshirt. But I was wondering if you could post or PM me the image of just the Disney Wonder writing, I love how you have the official font. Also where in SD are you from? I went to college at USD and lived in La Jolla, I miss it so much!

Does anyone know where the link is to Jeff's "cleaned up" version of the 'official' cruise graphic we voted for the tshirt? Is it on the website or somewhere on the thread, if someone could help me find the page?

Val,

We are just about an hour south of you and we were hitting high 90's yesterday.

Thankfully we do have AC - it was a must after DS was born on a day when it was 110 here.

Slightly cooler today and the weekend looks to be quite pleasant.

DH and I are currently booked on the DCL Sail and Snorkel in Aruba. I'll talk it our with him and see if we want to switch over to this one. I like the longer time frame and less crowded. I have to hope I don't get mistaken for a whale or seal by a shark.

I doubt that, I have WAY more blubber for them to munch on. On the bright side I float really well.

If we all stick together we will be so BIG we will scare the shark, lol!!

They have an introduction to scuba here in Havasu the 1st Sat. of the month. They supply all the equipment and you get to try it for free in the community pool. It was a bit embarassing when I wouldnt sink. They had to keep adding weights, lol! I did enjoy it, but also had a bit of a panic attack.


I am doing the sail/snorkel with ValBob89. The drift sounds wonderful. DH wont snorkel so he will be eating pea soup while we check out the reef

Gongrats!

WONDERFUL news!!!!!! If you don't mind me asking, was the microchip instrumental in finding the puppy? Cinder is microchipped and it does make me feel better in case she was to get . It's just nice to hear success stories

From what she emailed me...her son found the puppy...said he spent 2 hours looking for him. I know they were just heartbroken...so glad he is home safe and sound!

We also don't know how to drive in the rain. There's no rain at all during the summer, so by the time it starts raining in November, we've all forgotten how to do it - so the roads are a mess.

We live in Tierrasanta. My husband is stationed in Coronado and we love it here!

Here you go:

Guess what...

12 weeks to go:










Lets get this party started!

[eeyorelvr10]

We're staying at the HoJo Anaheim. Anyone else?

PC 05 ~ 16 pair of shoes......PC 08 ~ 12 pair of shoes.....hmmm WONDERing can I get it lower than that...

1. HoJo Anaheim just remodeled their rooms - they are pretty decent as HoJo goes. Stayed at a HoJo in my misadventure in NY - and let's jut say that I WOULD NEVER stay at that one again. ( Queens NY,)

2. I ended up taking about 9 prs of shoes and only 1 was a pair of heels. Coordinated my formal, semi's and dress-up with my 1 pair of pumps. Thought was was pretty good for me.

3. Does anyone know if they have the Villians show on here?

4. Des, glad the puppy was found. I would die if I lost any of my girls. Yes, even Chloe.

Now, off I go to shower, DD has a game at St Bernard & I'm supposed to help. Just can't get into this helping schedule.

​

Yes maam - about now we would be putting on our lovely, color-flattering, comfy, air-conditioned life vests and going to stand in the blazing sun (that is almost always where we stand but I have gotten to sit in restaurants once or twice).

 

[ACDSNY]

I am doing the sail/snorkel with ValBob89. The drift sounds wonderful. DH wont snorkel so he will be eating pea soup while we check out the reef

I've only snorkeled a couple of times in Kauai so I was teasing my DH when we signed up for the DCL excursion that I hoped there was safety in numbers so I wouldn't run into Bruce (the shark). My DH loves to snorkel and will stay in the water forever. I'll talk to him tonight about switching, last night was too crazy at our house.

 

[Brooklyn]

We wont be staying that the Hojo Anaheim that weekend but we do stay there about once a month. We love it there. I do not however like Bldg 2. We have not stayed in building 3-6 but we LOVE building 1.

 

[DisneyCruiser83]

Does anyone know if they have the Villians show on here?

I don't think so. As far as I know, that is only being done on the Magic. For stage shows, we will have "Toy Story", "Golden Mickey's" and "Disney Dreams". I am assuming they will fill in the rest with variety acts and maybe some special guests. But, perhaps someone who has done a PC cruise in the past can elaborate more.

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

I can't believe the weekend is almost here again!

Looking forward to next weekend for the Dis-meet

I have managed to locate a box and am filling it up with things I need for the cruise that I don't want to forget! Now I just have to remember where I put all those things I said I would put in the box once I got the box!

 

[Brooklyn]

I always make one of these for my girls to countdown till our trips. I figured I would share it just incase others wanted to use it...

 

[granmaz]

Brooklyn, that is great.

 

[carmie3377]

Started shopping for my Secret Mickeys today. This is going to be fun! Last night, we started our list of all OTC that we might need and Rx that we will need. Most of them we already have so I went ahead and started packing them in our small duffel bag. Can't believe how quickly it is approaching.

We're going camping tomorrow night. It's finally cool enough to do so and we are looking forward to it. We're heading to the store to pick up food and look for some Peeps. I'm sure most of you have eaten a roasted marshmallow. But have you tried a roasted Peep? They are so yummy

Oh, and more great work Brooklyn! DD just loved it. And of course i do too!!!
