Sorry to cause a debate. I am sorry, I just don't see the point in one logo. Like I said if disboards.com were added to each logo, then they all go together and everyone is happy. Like I said I just don't understand why there has to be just one and I guess I won't. Oh well.

Carol, that explaination makes good sense to me. I probably *will* use all my favs in some form, but the *#1* will be in my siggie.

We made it to Jacksonville, FL safely and have finally found sunshine and temperatures above 70 degrees. I LOVE FLORIDA!

Hi all! I got back at 1am this morning from a short but extremely HOT trip to WDW and a Doctor Who convention. I now know to not take the 10-day weather outlook so seriously---it only spit rain on us twice---and there I was with 2 umbrellas and 2 raincoats. I seriously overpacked---didn't need any of my long-sleeved shirts or my pants. Sigh. I also came back 5 pounds heavier due to all of the great food at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival. That was one awesome Festival! I can't wait to go back there some time! My favorite foods were the chocolate lava cake in Ireland, the pot-stickers over in China and a mushroom soup---I can't remember where. The worst item I tried was apple strudel near Germany----it was frozen inside!

My friend and I stayed at the Dolphin----just love those soft beds---and the cast member at the Disney Cruise Line desk was trying to tune in to the announcement of the Disney Dream but she couldn't. I read a little about it in the Orlando paper----there look to be some fun features.

We had a lot of fun at the Halloween party last Thursday night---not too crowded---but it seemed like they gave out less candy---and at a lower quality than last year---I've only been twice----not sure if this experience was normal. I had my first pictures ever taken with characters----Chip and Dale and Timon-----they were so sweet! We went to Downtown Disney the next night---big mistake---a real zoo with trick-or-treating taking place there for the public.

Moved from the Dolphin to a Ramada on 192----what a dump! I almost abandoned my friend and returned to the Dolphin! Besides the Doctor Who convention, there was a dog-groomers convention---the first room they put us in was right next to the main grooming room---loud blow-dryers and louder barking! Moved rooms and the next smelled of mold/mildew---the carpet was damp, the coffee pot had mold growing in it, the air conditioner unit leaked, the shower water pressure was a joke, there were little bugs everywhere and we were next to a noisy pool area. I think we should have asked to be moved again but I was really afraid what we would face next. This was truly the worst motel room/experience I ever had! Oh, and did I mention that they couldn't find my original reservation? Good thing I brought along a print-out with an early July date on it. Oh well. The experience didn't kill me---right?

Another bad thing that happened was I purchased a lot of coconut/chocolate and lime candy and cookies and magnets at the Westwin news store at the airport----the clerk forgot to hand me one of the bags----I called this morning but the day-clerk looked around and didn't see my bag but she promised to talk to the night-clerk and call me back about it. I've never had anything like this happen to me before. My work-mates are going to be sooo disappointed tomorrow when I show-up empty-handed. Wish me luck!

Our Enterprise rental car was great---it gave me freedom to visit the Prime Outlet shopping mall where I picked up a Skagen watch from the last Panama Canal crossing---it is a limited edition watch of 100---they had about 10 there---I paid $87.99 for a listed price of $175.00. That reminded me that I purchased a shot glass, a coffee mug and a beach towel on my 5 night cruise last year----all of the Panama Canal merchandise was on sale---I didn't think that Disney ever discounted their own items----I just thought they sent stuff to their outlet stores.

Oh, I've also been bitten by the pin-trading bug----quickly found out that it is really addicting---not to mention expensive! But really a lot of fun! I even found Disney cruise pins and a Disney cruise pin keeper. I purchased some WDW pins to trade for DL pins when I visit DL after the cruise.

My next vacation is to London in January----I'm trying to figure out if there are any cheaper seats than coach class----I spent all of my money in WDW and at the Doctor Who convention. But I got all of my Christmas shopping done!

Just thought I'd let you guys know how much fun I had in the World! Now I'm off to read the pages of this thread that I missed

Thank you everyone for giving me the heads up on booking the Radisson for 1/5. Was planning on taking a red eye on the 5th but with the Dream being there thought we might get caught up in the fun.

I, also, am in favor of one main logo and the others for magnets. In fact, I've already made some into magnets.

On a more serious note, my DH had his angiogram today and it's not good news. He needs a triple bypass. Will find out Thursday when the surgery will be. Good thing is DH is in excellent health and Dr says after the bypass he shouldnt have to go through any of this again. So, keeping sending the prayers and pixie dust as we will need it.

Linda, know what you mean about sunshine and temps. We are now in St. Thomas and it is beautiful. It rains a little every day but it is a warm rain. Will be sorry to go back to Ohio and winter but will be glad to see our puppies after three weeks.

Alan, sorry you feel this way but as I said, NOBODY on this thread has to do anything. If you do not want to use the main logo that is up to you and your right. We are happy to have one and all on the cruise.

Hi all! I got back at 1am this morning from a short but extremely HOT trip to WDW and a Doctor Who convention.

There was a Dr Who convention. Wow. I didn't realize it was big enough over here to have a convention.

My next vacation is to London in January----I'm trying to figure out if there are any cheaper seats than coach class----I spent all of my money in WDW and at the Doctor Who convention. But I got all of my Christmas shopping done!

If you find anything, let me know. Flights for us to the UK in the summer is working out just a tad short of $5K (from San Francisco). That's without car etc.

Virgin have rates that are not too bad for most of Jan-March next year. Not spectacular (i.e. great enough to make me want to go back in the winter time) but seem OK. BA should be pretty close to Virgin's prices. Not sure if they fly from your local airport, but might be worth checking out.

Sorry to hear about the hubby... Here's to keeping fingers and toes crossed and in our prayers.

 

[aan1701]

Tami I hope all we be well. My best friends father has had two quad bypasses. Now it is like he is 21 again.

 

[MommaluvsDis]

Tami,

I will be praying for you and Mike. God is the Great Healer. Here's wishing Mike well. Please post as soon as you can as to Mike's surgery date.

Alan,

This is everyone's cruise and I encourage everyone to post their thoughts and input reguardless of whether it matches mine or not. You have no need to apologize for voicing your opinion. You are a treasured member of this cruise and we're all going to have a fabulous time!

Congrats on your posts goals, RanCan! Woohoo!

2011 can't get here soon enough!!!

Sorry to hear about hubby. The good news is you know he needs it, being a post open heart nurse there are lots that dont and he can get this taken care of. As alan said he will probably feel alot better after 6-8 weeks of healing because of the increased blood flow and oxygen .Will keep you in our prayers for speedy recovery!

 

[aan1701]

All I can say Denise is thanks. I have been feeling kinda bad because I just don't get it, but that is alright, I don't get a lot of stuff. Lol.

I hope all goes well. Prayers and pixie dust coming your way!
My father had a triple bypass five years ago. He isn't 21 again, but he also had other health problems COPD and kidney disease. He was very high risk, and he made it through and is still around.

Sending some prayers and pixie dust your way. At least he should be recovered in time for the cruise. Sometimes it is good to have something to look forward to- makes it easier to get thru.

Anybody know anything about a romance at sea package that lets you book Palo, spa, excursions, etc earlier than you would be able to otherwise? I thought I had read it somewhere on the boards, but I can't find it on the DCL website.

Also, why does everyone want to stay at Port Canaveral the night before sailing? Is there something I don't know about? We stayed at the Hyatt MCO before and liked it just fine. Was planning on doing the same thing this time because we will get in late on Wednesday, but now I don't know. Any input is appreciated.
