Lisa, they won't make us go to community board for the geek thread will they?

 

[lillygator]

can we go home yet?

 

[EllaEnchanted]

I just got PM'd by yet another DIS addict, Karen, she couldn't access our thread and seemed to be near panic. I invited her over here! Hopefully she'll be joining us shortly.

Deb - believe me...I have aches and pains...2 knee surgeries waiting on a 3rd, fear of heights, motion sickness issues....BUT I will not let those things stop me!!! (or I will die trying!)

I have heard tho that you can't take a camera w/ you on the canopy adventure (fear of it falling, or strap getting caught)

Oh I am sure they have professionals follow you and video you the whole time...and then try and sell it to you for lots of money! I hope they take some still pics too....video not so sure I would want, but a pic would be cool. So far I know it is Scott, Lisa & I going on the one(Monica we will miss you), maybe I'll try and bring a small cheapie disposable camera and see if we can sneak it with us and get some pics. Does shutters develop film?

On the one we went on we had our camera they tied it to the front of our harness. The company had no photographer or videographer. It doesn't sat no cameras and we take ours everywhere with us. THe way they ties it to DH is wasn't going anywhere or getting tangled. Don't put anything in your pocket as you kind of lean back and it might fall out.

Kaylee - I did get an email confirmation of my sweepstakes entry today. So hopefully you rec'd yours too. They are going to do the drawing tomorrow!

 

[LiserAnn]

Lisa - sorry to tell you but it is because of motion sickness--I can get sick even watching tv

Oh, my, well I'm not that bad so maybe I'll be OK. Sounds like you have a bad case of it. I've only gotten motion sick on sailboats in the ocean (fine on the cruise ship)...hopefully I'll be spared with a speed boat.

The Outdoor Adventure one does say no cameras....wonder if that applies to disposable?

 

[MrsMork]

Paid in full today....well sort of. Paid with Disney Visa. Now will have to pay that off when tax returns come. I found out I will be getting a $1500 performance award at work too! Cruise money!! With that and the extra $$ from tax credits in May we should be able to enjoy the month of Disney that we have planned!

A carefree funfilled month of Disney.....I couldn't think of another couple who deserve it more! So Happy For You and Dr. Hug Angie!!!

Oh sorry, I thought you were just talking about the Zip line ones.


I talked to DH and would you all be interested in a board like the old Ship of Thieves forum to keep up with whos on what excursions and specific cruise chatter? If not thats fine just wanted to check interest.

Cork - how about a single person, no kids, making over the $3000 threshold?

Monica

Q: How much will people get?

A: Most individuals will get up to $600; couples will get up to $1,200. People will get an additional $300 for each dependent child.

Q: You said most. Who is eligible?

A: To get the maximum $600 or $1,200 payment, people must have paid federal income taxes in 2007 and had earned income of at least $3,000.

Those who made at least $3,000 but didn't pay any federal income tax would get $300 per individual or $600 per couple.

Q: Are there income limits?

A: Yes. The payments would start phasing out for individuals with adjusted gross incomes of more than $75,000 and couples with incomes of more than $150,000.

Individuals with incomes higher than $87,000 and couples with incomes higher than $174,000 would not be eligible, unless they had children. The caps would be slightly higher for people with children, but those figures weren't available Thursday.

So, if you are single, made more than $3000 but less than $75,000 you should get $600 bucks.

 

[Mom323]

OH! I'll get $600 then! Thanks for the info!

You might even get the $300 for your son.

 

[Mom323]

We too are waiting on my W-2 and the student loan interest letter.

Thanks for the reminder about the student loan letter, forgot about that one.

Thanks Cork! This would go nicely towards that Visa bill

I pre-ordered the new Passporter last night on Amazon (around $12.50 I think). It's being released on the 28th and I should have it by the 30th.

It has our cruises and all the info in it. I was hoping it would be before our 90 days.

I really wish the Disney night had all the excursions for a port in a list that could be printed. Hard to compare times, prices, etc. when each excursion is its own link.

Is this the 2008 Cruise version? I preordered it through the Passporter website and they said

The new (sixth edition) of PassPorter's Disney Cruise Line guidebook is now available for pre-order. We expect to begin shipping pre-ordered books around March 15, 2008.

 

[Mom323]

For those of you that HAVE to know, I saved the thread offline, so I can send ya the file if you need the info.

I myself am one of those HAVE to know persons. Otherwise known as NOSEY!!!

Totally under water again at work today. Please take a moment to BE QUIET. Thank you, no more pages today... (until I get home)

Oh one more thing, I'm going to be a GREAT AUNTIE Tomorrow!!!!! My nephew's wife is going in for a C tomorrow (baby is sunnyside up and breach) Please keep Cindy and Jeremy and little baby to be in your prayers.

Here's hugs for all three. Guess the little one just didn't want to see where it was headed. On a lighter note, c-section babies don't have conehead.
