Hello guys.

First chance to get on again today.

After reading about all the terrible frustration, I did not even try.

I told my friends, if I cannot be with them in Palo for a dinner or brunch, I would rather be with them down in regular dining than by ourselves. Hopefully, there will be some availability when we board, or the private room request will come through.

Amy called today and agreed. She has settled down a bit - had a terrible and long experience in customs in Manilla (Kim, you would have lost it for sure) and almost lost her passport because of the pocket she put it in - it was hanging from the handle of her carryon. And she wonders why I insist on carrying all important stuff when we travel . . .

She called at 4:00am Monday in Manilla. It was 3:00 pm here.

Hope you all are having a better Sunday.

Oh, and BTW, where is Godoux? (did I spell that right?) Derick Anderson just threw an interception in the Pro Bowl game!:rotfl2:
 
Okay, so I don't have the heart to go back and read every post since last Friday afternoon, so if I've missed something just let me know.

Friday night my purse that had my wallet, my planner, and basically my whole organized life was stolen from me. etc.

Besides that.....life is PEACHY KEEN!

Okay, starting tomorrow I'll try to check in each day!

Linda, so sorry this happened to you. :grouphug:
 

I bought a formal night dress today, hopefully my link works:


p_10153_12605_031A1440000P


Does this look dressy enough?

And is everyone getting 2 different formal dresses or wearing the same one both times?

Cute dress!!
 
My flight gets in at 5:15. I have no objection to you two meeting me in the terminal with banners, flags and dancing boys! :dance3:

Monica mentioned that an option for dinner might be for folks to grab something from any of the terminal restaurants/food court and meet in the area that is just to the left of the Hyatt check in. I can't picture this area (it's Hyatt territory, not food court area I believe). If that space would work, it sounds like a good idea, as people could come and go all evening...some could drift off to an adult beverage later on if they chose.

Whadda ya think?

.
::yes:: I think that's a great plan.
 
Not over for me....after hours and hours on the East Coast I gave up and went to sleep. I was supposed to be at church at 6am....but instead I have been hanging at the hospital with Vanessa.

PJ booked a dinner for Palo for our group of 4 ladies, but I will nto be able to that if Daniel can't eat with us...I would not leave him alone.

Lisa,

If PJ is eating at Palo with you guys, Daniel can take her seat with the Geeks for dinner (we are early dining). I am sure 4 little girls will keep him entertained! He can give them bowling tips!
 
Laura, HI!!

Did you book any Palo or Excursion's on the Westbound? Come on back over to the thread!! Who is sailing with you on the WB?
Lisa


Sorry folks - couldn't figure out how to quote from another thread.

Hi Lisa - SO SORRY you had to cancel with that "other" group but I took your advice about posting here. Am trying to make a niche for myself but I seem to be flaking off on myself! :rotfl2: I hope to become more involved here if you all will let me???? :flower3:

Sorry - my humor is kinda weird remember. Anyway, I'm finally excited. DH and I will be travellling alone although DD-20 may make a last minute appearance depends on whether she can take her finals a couple days early. Anyway, Not too worried about any excursions as DH and I found we like going on our own. No worries on the West Coast part as I speak the language. Am a bit worried about Aruba so right now I am booked on DCL buy may cancel that if I get to do some research. Lots going on at home and until last week wasn't sure if I was going to go 100%. But final payment was made and seems I will be on here God Willing.

No Palos Ok those that are fanatics about Palo's close youre eyes - DH and I aren't crazy about Palo's lots of bad experiences here but Sasha sure is an awesome server.

OK DD-14 is banging on the door - lets go so gotta fly but will be back later to post my solo chat! :sad2: Anyone want to be friends with a weird but funny kind of gal? :rotfl: You've been forewarned! :lmao:

Yeah!! Laura......remember to visit!! Everyone here is awesome!!

Regular dining with Geeks suits us fine! Nice breakfast a Lumiere's a couple of mornings and we are good! :thumbsup2

We agree! DrHug and I would love to have Daniel join us for dinner one night.
 
Okay, so I don't have the heart to go back and read every post since last Friday afternoon, so if I've missed something just let me know.

Friday night my purse that had my wallet, my planner, and basically my whole organized life was stolen from me. So I have spent the last two days cancelling everything and changing every password on the internet and anything I can possible think of. By the time I cancelled my business credit card, the thieves had charged $60 to Pizza Hut and $46 to Dominoes. Guess they wanted a pizza party at 1 a.m. in the morning. Then they tried to use it to put gas in their vehicle, but they didn't know my company's pin number so it was declined.

I think by the time they tried to use all my other cards (probably immediately after that) I had already been on the phone with all my credit card companies, cancelling everything.

Went to bed at 3:30 a.m. or so and then got up at 6 a.m. and started back up on the internet again. Went to bank at 9 a.m. and had to close my accounts and open new ones and all that fun stuff.

Then had to go to my office and have my property manager let me in so I could get to my desk. She had to change all the alarm codes and pass codes into the building just to be safe. And of course, my office keys were in my purse, so they were long gone too.

Then spent the next couple of hours cancelling our company's Sam's and Costco accounts, so now I get to tell all the staff tomorrow that they get to go get new cards issued.

Then I spent more time on the internet.

I keep thinking of more things as I have time.

I lost my WDW passes and have been working with Guest Services to get those, but now I have to go back through a bunch of my paperwork to find some stuff.

So, the last thing I did today was go onto Disney Cruise Line because I need to change my email address for the 2/28 cruise. But then, I didn't have the number so I called DCL and she gave it to me and gave me the 5/10 cruise too. About that time, I remembered that last night at midnight was when I could start booking everything.

So, got off the phone with DCL and immediately went into the 5/10 cruise and everything I was suppose to book was gone. (including Palo's). That was when I had a meltdown and broke down and started crying. Looked at the spa and the first thing I saw was "Alone time" and debated about booking that! But I didn't...........so I ended up not booking anything, and will just keep watching and make a note in my planner (the new one I haven't bought yet) for the 75 day mark when something might open up again.

After my meltdown, I decided it was time to get off the computer, so I cleaned my living room and vaccuumed, and went downstairs to the craft room for a few minutes.

Now, I decided to get on the disboards and share my news. All I can say is my life has been turned upside down. I am making a list with everything I can think of and as I change everything I am putting it on an excel spreadsheet and it is getting locked up in our safe. that way I'll have one list with everything in one place.

The good news....I haven't been able to spend any money all weekend (not that I have had time) because all my credit cards and cash are gone! I had two gift cards in my wallet and I was able to dig up the receipts and go back and get them cancelled and reissued. The last thing I wanted was those thieves getting another $125 out of me!

The bad news....I had just bought some ribbon at Joann's Friday night earlier in the evening and they stole my ribbon! It was for the scrapbook pages. Really made me mad.

The good news.....I had just taken my camera and cell phone out of my bag and set them down in the car and when they grabbed my purse out of the car (and I was only about 30 feet away), they didn't get my expensive camera or purse.

The bad news....tomorrow I get to spend my time at the driver's license office getting a new drivers license.

Okay, that's my news for now. Things can only get better from him. I only had about $45 cash in my purse (thank goodness). Sometimes, I stash some extra money in hidden places, but luckily I had it in my bedroom and not in my wallet!

Oh-they have all my insurance cards, my DVC card, my Castaway Club Card, Disney Dining card, etc., etc.

Besides that.....life is PEACHY KEEN!

Okay, starting tomorrow I'll try to check in each day!

Linda, I am so sorry! Where were you? 30 feet away? That is so brazen! Did the police catch them?
 
Lisa,

Wrong PJ, she (?) is PJ, I am Pj jr. I don't have any meals at Palo yet.

What a nightmare!! OMG!! :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

I remember about 25 years ago my DH and I were traveling in CA and we went to DL. My purse was stolen...but the problem was my DH had on shorts with no pockets....so his wallet was in my purse.

We were 3000 miles from home with no id, no money, no credit cards,

What a nightmare....so I understand !! I am so sorry!!!

I'm heading over to a get a massage from a friend who is a massage therapist. :dance3: She gave DrHug and I each a free massage for our anniversary back in Oct. We have not yet collected. I called her today and IT'S A GOOD DAY FOR HER and I certainly can use it! :rolleyes:

Beautiful dress. I am taking two but only because I found both of them for less than $30 just before our 11 night cruise.

My flight gets in at 5:15. I have no objection to you two meeting me in the terminal with banners, flags and dancing boys! :dance3:

Monica mentioned that an option for dinner might be for folks to grab something from any of the terminal restaurants/food court and meet in the area that is just to the left of the Hyatt check in.

Whadda ya think?

.

PJ, we will probably be there since looking at flight schedules we will probably fly early.

Can't think of a place to the left in the Hyatt (facing check in) but there is a big lounge area to the right. I think this sounds great.

You know you are old when:


You get bored waiting for you birth year to scroll down on the DCL web site!

.

What amazes me is there are years earlier than mine. :scared1: I thought I was older than dirt (so they used to tell me at work) :rotfl2: :rotfl: :lmao: .

Sorry you guys had such a bad time getting through last night/today...

WERE YOU AWARE, HOWEVER, THAT DISNEY CRUISE LINE OUTSOURCES THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM???
That is why when it was doen for 5 days in December...you could do NOTHING!!! No ressies NOTHING...

I think we all overwhelmed whatever company they have... I imagine most of the whole ship does not try to sign on at once...

Hoping it's better at 75 days!!!
 
Okay, so I don't have the heart to go back and read every post since last Friday afternoon, so if I've missed something just let me know.
What a horrible thing to have to deal with. :sad2: So sorry to hear this! :hug:
