LOL Sherri - it does seem illogical, doesn't it ?

I'm the weekend duty manager for a Supermarket, which means I manage the store from 4pm when the rest of the store management goes home. TBH, I'd much rather something go wrong while I'm in the store, and stay back, rather than what happened a couple of weeks ago, which was a phonecall from our Alarm monitoring company at 3.15am to say the store alarm was going off..... :sad2: (I'm the meat dept. manager on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and build all the adstock ends on Mondays - not riveting work, but it's less than a mile from my house and the kids' school, so I can't complain).

I have another job, which is head cook at the kids' school, but that's been on hold this year while they've been renovating. I LOVE that job.

So many jobs.... for what ? Disney, of course !

The swimming costumes were for the kids - they have swimming lessons at school every Monday.

As for the exams - well, not enough study done - she has the intelligence to blitz them, but the proverbial will hit the fan sooner rather than later when she sits state-wide exams....

Cheers,
Sally :)

Sally, my DS is a third year at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He was such a good top student at his school that he took ti for granted. Ga Tech is a top school and he discovered that everyone there is as smart as he is and that was a shock. he's had to learn to study! He's finally found his footing and is doing well.

swimming costumes - i love that expression!!

and wow how are hou going to travel so far with so many kids in tow! 3 was tough enough but the farthest we went was 2 and half hours!! (well we drove too and that was miserable, not as bad when disney was at the end, but then we had to come home again).
 
With GTY rooms, where does your stateroom number appear? If I go to my CC account I have a list of upcoming cruises and past cruises. Currently my PC one says GTY under "stateroom" does that GTY change to a stateroom number when your room has been allocated?

I keep checking there and also in the cruise detail area. If I know for certain I just need to look at the "my cruises" page, I will save myself some time!:thumbsup2

The room number will appear both on your list of upcoming cruises in CC section of the website and on the actual reservation page.

Hi All!! I posted back when the first thread was started, but I've only been lurking since.

DM and I are sailing for sure, but some friends may join us.

I just wanted to say hi and ask some advice. Does anyone know how to get Palo Brunch reservations once on the ship? I would like to do this since there are none left online. Is there a specific time to do this?

Take care and I'm sure I will see you onboard!!

'Morning everyone :)

I'm running on 3 hours of sleep - had a major malfunction of two of our freezers at work last night, so I was in the store with the fridge mechanics until nearly 3am this morning (then had to come home and sort out uniforms, swimming costumes, lunches, etc.) At least the time went quickly - it's so easy to do a heap of work with no customers in sight :lmao:

I have DS at home from school today - he's caught my cold from last week. Thankfully, everyone else seems to have been spared, but I won't hold my breath for another week or so.

DD1's exams started this morning. Fingers crossed she does OK, although I try not to stress - it's only year 8 :teacher:

Anyway, onto things cruise-related....

WOOOOHOOOO to the first lot of cabin assignments ! I'll bet it's like opening a present on Christmas morning :) I hope the other cabins start coming thick and fast for the rest of you.

Lynne - that's the attitude - we'll be on a Disney cruise - it's all good. And hey, you can come camp out down the rear of Deck 5 with me if you start suffering forward-ship-itis ;)

Man, I've forgotten what else I wanted to reply to - sorry ! I'm heading back to the lounge for a snooze while DS tunes in to the dulcit tones of Spongebob (oops - probably shouldn't mention a rival character ! :rolleyes1 ).

46 days until we leave home !

I'll BBL.

Cheers,
Sally :)

Sorry - not cruise-related, but the warm weather has finally hit ! The result ? a cacophony of cicadas outside ! Added to that, I can see the first lavendar blooms on my Jacaranda tree :) I LOVE this time of year :thumbsup2
Lucky you, spring time, sounds like me, you need a sleeep!

asap when you board rockin bar d I believe.
 
I am an early riser too! We can all hold hands! No one will get by us!!!!!!:rotfl2:

Oh, we could play "Red Rover!" THAT would be something to see :lmao:


I will try to scan a pic of the "tourist" costume so you can see what a sedate and traditional outfit it is...I'm sure I will blend right in:lmao:
I actually look like one of the "Dum" twins from "Alice in Wonderland" after they visited the "Biggest Loser." The crotch goes down to my knees!!!!!
 
@DCLTravler - "Red Rover" - I love it! I know exactly what you mean!

I am a terrible runner, but I do enjoy running at night on deck 4 - strange, I know! There have been several times when I have had to weave between "star crossed lovers" strolling on the deck. Haha!

I have always wanted to do a 5k at CC, but I figure the ship would have left by the time I get back. ;)

It us usually Wavebands around one o'clock. Sometimes it changes though, so it is best to check the navigator you get at check-in. It will give you the exact location and time. Good luck! :thumbsup2

That is hilarious! :rotfl2::rotfl2:
 
Still GTY here.

:headache:

This is my first time as GTY and its all consuming now... Maybe they started with the 11s and are working their way through. So hopefully not long now!

-Kay

I'm booked 11C and still GTY. So they did not start with the 11s.
 
Well I have checked at least 3 times today and my GTY status has not changed at all :rotfl:

-Kay

No worries. It seems that 45 days out is the most common time to get rooms assigned which is not until Nov 22nd. I would not put in much effort into checking the res page until then.

Me and my logical brain knows that, but I have never had a GTY room before and it is killing me not knowing where we will be. (Do you think I have obsessive compulsive vacation planning disorder?)

At least I know we have a room :thumbsup2.

I have just checked my card for my Disney Reward Dollars, and it expires at the end of this year. So to make sure I have no problems, I have just ordered a new card with some of the $$ that I have accumulated. I will transfer any remaining DRD closer to the cruise.

Just a heads up to check your Disney Rewards cards if you need to.

OCVPD is a good thing! and yes I am dying to know our status too!:yay:
 
Still in the lifeboat! :lmao:

I had hope - I was on this morning at 1:30 A.M. and the site was down for maintenance - when it came back up - all the 5's were gone..I was hoping we were being assigned..oh well!

Still in the lifeboat! crackin me up!:lmao: At this point hudging by our threads the life boat might be the best place, or at least the most fun since we will all be there together!- safet mouse's wife
 
Can everyone check the cruise website to make sure your info is correct? (i.e. stateroom, name, FE list?) It seems like a bunch of people have moved and not updated their info....

Our category has changed, but we are still GTY.

I was going to let Jeff know our change once we had our room - that way he only has to change the website once! (hopefully in the not too distant future too). Or would you rather we updated him now?

I know the feeling...we used a DVC voucher for a cruise and it drove me nuts waiting for our room assignment especially since I had 6 other cabins of family and friends with us on the cruise. We ended up fairly close to the rest of our group just one floor up and on the other side, but I was worried we be at the other end of the ship.
