I think we can call WDW and get them, I was on hold for a long time and got call waited and lost them on hold...I'll try again and let you know if I have sucess.

I just called for my tickets. Called 1:50 pm and hung up finished at 1:59 pm! They will be in the mail asap. OMG we are really going on a cruise sooooooon! Every little thing makes is seem so much closer!

Kaylee, how have your girls not joined???? We have a new one called cinnaspins. they come in 100 calorie packs. Eat 4 or 5 and you're good

I had to bargain with another mom for a box as we do not have those! So can I buy 2 boxes off molly of those? Like I need more cookies!

 

[Making_Memories]

Why is there not much chatter today? Do you all have JOBS or something?

I was hiding from the painters!
They are gone now til tomorrow so here I am!

I regret not doing the autograph book on our last cruise as it would have been so cool to look back through.

I'll post pictures after I finish altering the book I picked up. (Actually a spiral bound 4x6 photo album)

I'm thinking of getting all the CMs to sign stuff too...

Okay, DH said I need to post these. Chewy and Sadie got their Mexican night outfits in the mail today and had to try them on. Here they are.

These cats are definitely better dressed than we are.

Too cute!

Love all the photos posted recently too!

Caught up on break...yeah!

Well, I didn't win one of the DCL cruises for House Party guests. BUT...somebody on this cruise will be able to say one of their family did! Sorry, I'm sure they'll want to share the new themselves.

.ok back to work.

No realignment for us! Actually, we lost one troop of girls down in the 4 corners area to Arizona but it was less than 30 girls and we had our realignment done in less than one day! Do you know Michelle McCormick from Santa Clara?



Little Brownie



Only 2 bakers now. ABC and Little Brownie. I have a good friend who worked for Girl Scouts out in Calif. at the Tres Condados Council for 18+ years I think, and she went to ABC last May. If someone is dying for something from ABC I can see if she can ship some over to me. The new Lemon cookie form Little Brownie did really well in pre-sales here this year. Glad they got rid of that fudge cookie (double dutch? or something like that?) we called it "ROAD BASE"

We don't have the cinna one we have the lemon one. It is really good!

 

[Tink rules]

I was thinking she must have as he has been missing from the thread. I figured they were catching up.

Actually I think John1 is cleaning the house...

Search ebay for: Bare escentuals friendship. It is a bag with a picture of a cruise ship on it.

I will also keep an eye out for the ding fares. My original fare to Florida went down and they credited me back asap for the difference!

Ok...nice bag, but I don't see Mickey or Minnie on the bow!!!

Hello! We're about 2.5 months away from sailing! woohoo!!! But that also means I need to start saving lots of $$$$ to pay it off! Does anyone know what the gratuity guidelines are for this 15-day repo cruise? I tried searching for it but to no avail....Appreciate any help! Thanks!

Standard tip as given to me by DCL would be $163.00 per person, for a total of $489.00. This is where will start from. There are also some tip calculators online.

Oh you found it as that what I am looking for it as I lost it last year.

 

[edna mode]

Ok... so everyone is out to lunch and I'm the only one here...If I start answering my own posts... someone call the guys with the white jackets...

That reminds me, several years ago I read a sequel to P&P - not by Jane Austen, obviously! Can't remember what it's called or who it's by, which isn't much help is it. Sorry. What I do remember is that I didn't much like it. I didn't agree with the author's ideas of how the marriage would be.

very interesting!

Poor tink she looks like she is getting spanked over and over again.

Makes me feel a bit better. Just hope they are working on a solution for the sake of other cruisers in the future.

That was nice.

I don't know if I like the bag now, it's just 2 zippered pockets...I think my EL train case is a bit better.
