July 28, 2007 - "Rome-ancing the Mouse Cruisers" -11 days! Part 2

We also received our travel docs today via UPS.
I think this is going to be our best cruise ever.
Thanks again for all the info on the chocolate museum, hoping to see some dissers there on Friday if we are not too tired.

Tee Shirts......
Ok - here is the story. I put an order in for the tee shirts with cafe Press on Monday. It seemed to go through. Monday night I get an email about the copyright issues after reviewing the order saying it was "pending". Of course after reading all the other rejections I figured it was rejected also. Well, I got another email this morning saying the shirt has shipped!!!!!!!! I called Maryann right away telling her the story, and I told her to try it and if it worked I would post. I am now going to let her post what she was told- I think shes on line- I just Pmd her about another mini meet tomorrow!!!!

Sooooooo here is the link.. you may want to wait to see how mine comes out first I will post as soon as it comes... I only ordered one because I didnt think it wa sgoing to go through, so I have to put another order in too!!
http://www.cafepress.com

I spent all day trying to get on the website (it was having problems) so I called and spoke to a rep because when I finally got on, I couldn't upload the images. I explained about the copywrite issue and would I have a problem, etc. She explained that if there was a problem a red box or a message would show up either during the order process or in the shopping cart. She said she doubted there would be a problem because we weren't selling them, they were for personal use. OK. I try to upload again a few hours later and I am able to (no red boxes, etc.) but now I can't check out!!!! So I call the rep again who said they've been having issues with the site all day. I again ask her about the copywrite and she tells me the same story as the first rep, she didn't think it would be a problem because we changed the images by personalizing them and we weren't selling them. So, my order is placed. Now we wait and see..........

Our TA makes me so mad!!
DH went today to pick up the Cruise Documents, she says they didn't come in. I find it hard to believe that documents arrive in Arizona and PA but not Boston. When sent UPS 2nd day air on Monday.

Next he tried to book room 5520 the secret porthole room that is showing as available on DisneyCruise.com. SHe says it isn't available and that DCL told her the cruise is sold out. I know that the website is messed up but I doubt they would be showing rooms as available is the cruise is sold out. Today it shows cat 9 and 10 being available.

SHe has been difficult since the beginning but DH was taking care of it so I am trying to be patient. It just bothers me that I hear about some great TAs who are very helpful and ours is the total opposite.

OK I'm done venting.

I think there are 16, I'll post the list again later tonight if anyone else is interested please PM me.

Love the brown bag fish extender idea!

Maybe I should just hang a fish net
Brown bag may be too tacky

We also may be hanging a fish net!! I cannot find a fish extender here....

 

[Sandaneli]

Hi,
This is what the brown paper bag fish extender might look like.

This was made just for Jeanne (Kyla), since it was her idea.

OK I've lost my mind. At least DH and DD think so, and after tonight they're probably right.

WE leave two weeks from tomorrow and my list is slowly getting crossed off, of course there seems to be something added for everything that gets crossed off.

Tomorrow is DH birthday party. His BDay is actually Friday the 13th but we're celebrating with a lobster dinner tomorrow evening. Then Friday we are taking DD and DS and DS's father (exH, his birthday is the 15th) to dinner and then to see Ratatouille. Maybe I have lost my mind. Anyway it should be interesting.

We'll definitely need pixie dust for this outing.

Sandra

and now it's time to go to bed, Good night!!

Sandra,

I just took a peak at the DCL website and as you said it is showing room 5520 as being available. I remember back when I was trying to move a coupleof cabins around and called DCL and was toldthe cabin I was asking for was not available. The problem was that I had the cabin "in use" on my web session. Once I cancelled my session the DCL rep was able to acces the room. I wonder if something similar may have happened in your case.
A thought...must you go through you TA or can you just call DCL on your own to change the room?

Good luck and enjoy the dinners.

I love the paperbag one! Great imagination!
Pony Express didn't make it to Bozeman with our docs. We booked one room through a travel agent and one room with DVC points - not sure how that will affect our documents being delivered.
I'm glad everyone is too busy to post a lot!!

 

[jlawall]

Congratulations, JoAnn--we will have a toast to the occassion on the cruise!! One more reason for the rum dance!!

Thx............also we got half of our documents today..........

 

[Aurora1959]

They're here. They're here. They're here. They're here.


I had to leave today at 4 for a nail appt. I was dissapointed because UPS hadn't come yet. And I had football sign-ups until 7:30. I got home a little before 8 - and immediately checked the front door. No docs.

Then just 5 minutes ago I decided to go out the front door to move the car into the garage. And there they were. Strange that he just dropped them and ran w/o ringing the door bell. And that they were delivered at such a late hour.

But who cares? They're here.They're here.They're here.

 

[jlawall]

Couple of questions . . .
DIS meet - Sunday? 9:30? I couldn't find the time on the first page.

We will be taking a train from Paris to Amsterdam after the cruise, those of you in the know, do I need to get these tickets in advance?
Thanks!!

First ?...........Yes, DISmeet, Sunday at 9:30am in the Promonade Lounge........If you want, bring a gift bag ($15-20) from your hometown, to swap with another family............Geez, I HOPE THIS INFO IS IN THE NAVIGATOR!

Love it. Uh...ur... can I have it?

No, seriously, I'm going to try and make one. I just figured out the fish extender gifts - I'm going to make some, real quick and easy.

So how does the fish extender program work?
Does everyone take a day and make deliveries?

 

[jlawall]

I think the kids should do theirs also at the meet- any other suggestions????

....Good idea!!

No cruise docs yet . But I'm going to go check right now after reading this. My dogs were barking at something. Maybe the UPS guy did a drive by.

 

[kyla]

Nope, nothing yet.

 

[jlawall]

Thanks Mary Jo- I was thinking of the funniest post.. and all I keep thinking about is the day I logged on and saw the TP Mummy- I laughed forever!!!!! So that is my favorite, funniest post- you are great!!!!

speak for yourself..............JKJKJKJKJK..............

Ok, the real reason I was here was to copy off the lanyard list, so I know who to give what. Any update on the name tags? Anybody know if Disneylover is doing them? I haven't been around much so haven't been able to catchup on the posts.

I'm also starting to cross things off my list. I leave on the 22nd for London, so I am really feeling pressured now. I think I need to do a practise pack this weekend. But somehow I need to weigh my suitcase. The suitcase seem pretty heavy by itself . I wonder if I can take it down to the vets and weigh it there?

 

[kyla]

Anybody there? I am so tired since the dog show, I just want to go to bed early every nite. Guess I'm trying to catchup on sleep too.

 

[kyla]

Sandra,
I'm looking at the fish extender instructions. How long is the hangar? Is it 24" in total? When sewing it, are you saying put the a stitch line down the middle of it (length wise)? Just wondering how much room is needed to get it over the fish.

Yes, I think it's Lisa? She said a few pages ago that she was sending them to you, I think??
