Enjoy your day Deb.

Ditto!

Bit of excitment tonight. We went out after Mike got home to fill the car with gas so we can make it to the airport tomorrow morning at ungodly o'clock. The plan was to pick up some dinner too.

On the way into the parking lot, someone drove into our car!

We are fine. She was probably only going 5 mph. It was one of those things where you see her driving at you and think why can't she see us 5 ft in front of her?

The crumple (kind of a mini crash) did remove a lot of bits and pieces from the Escape; but it is still drivable. Which is the best thing, because NO WAY is our luggage fitting in my little car.

4 big suitcases, 1 carryon, 1 lowepro. Two of the suitcases are overweight.

I was planning on working on the weight issue tonight, but ending up spending the time talking to the police, insurance, and filing an accident report!

How long do I have to put my luggage on Weight Watchers before they lose 4 pounds each?

Better go to bed. We have tickets to Pirates & Princess tomorrow night.

See you all on the boat.

Kathy, if you check in here, I left your last name at home and couldn't deliver your lanyards.... can you say big dork!!!!!!! I'll give them to you at the port.

I guess Haley will need a car seat in CA.....kids haev to be 6 or 60 lbs.

Yes, yes, yes, they are very strict in CA about driving and car seats. It is a huge fine and they will not let you continue without them.

it's age 4 in fl, not 3.

We packed a booster seat with us in the duffle to bring to Florida because we thought we needed it. Turned out to be better for DD's seat belt.

People actually thought the thread would be slow today.

Actually, it makes more sense for me to post them here in case others want them.

I hope these work!

Wow that was quick. Thanks for posting these, it will make my mom very happy!!!

 

[nanatink]

Then there's always one or two Walmart's at different ports we visit.

 

[gaylean93]

Gaylean - you still there?? If so - let me know what you need - if it's available at either Walmart or CVS I can pick it up tomorrow.

Thank you but I found it. I must have signed off right after I posted because I didn't read this until today. Thank you so much though.

 

[gaylean93]

As I was getting ready to leave work tonight, my mgr informed me that I'm 2 hrs short of the vacation time I requested off for this trip.....so that means I get to work from 830a-1030a. I'm just a bit miffed...if I had known this last week I would have worked extra time on different days. Oh well - can't do anything about it now.

Glad those who've travelled today have gotten in safely.....safe travels to those who go tomorrow & Saturday.

Can't wait to see those at the DTD meet and at the HY.

Doesn't look like I'll be able to make the Epcot meet---turns out I still have stuff to do and now 2 less hours to do it in (well more like 3 if you include the commute).

Ian - CM at the store said that they don't make a Tink version.

That is horrible about work. Jon didn't take all of his vacation last year because he was scared of this but now he has enough to tak two trips.

 

[nanatink]

Kathy, if you check in here, I left your last name at home and couldn't deliver your lanyards.... can you say big dork!!!!!!! I'll give them to you at the port.

How long will you be handing out the Lanyards? I hope to be there by at least 2.

 

[edna mode]

I'll be at DTD this afternoon from 4:30 for about an hour. Then at the port at about 10:30. Linda and I'll will be located at the mouse ears handing out mini navs and lanyards. Then we will be at 3PM at Promenade lounge (I think?) After that you can find me at 6566 - call me and I'll send em to your room or you can pick them up.

 

[gaylean93]

we're here...MCO Hyatt that is. Our luggage was over, I think the first bag was 70lbs....we rearranged at the curbside and got them down to ~ 50lbs. Okay 4 of them were over and they let us slide. 8 bags checked, only because Paul didn't "need" anything in his carryon and crammed it in mine. Flights we great. Wilson and I enjoyed talking flying and he even had a nice chat and photo op with the pilot on the Chicago-MCO leg. Steve, nice guy.

Checked in and yup the wine made it but for some reason they hadn't processed my request for luggage pick up, so I brow beat my husband to let the bell guy get it. I tell ya, that DH needs a vaca. Having a beer and AC and watching some old car race movie with Whoppie and John Levitz and more.

We pretty much are going to flake on space center tomorrow, Paul is just to tired to do anything, so whatever we'll hang out and see what comes up. Maybe some shopping

I forgot to my black fancy sweater, I got it at Dland Paris

We are in room 6051 Hyatt MCO, call us we wanna play

Safe travels to those who are still in transit.


Nan & Paul & Molly & Wilson

I'm glad everything went well. SOme of the stories are Have fun and I'll see you in the morning! Finally, I never thought I'd say that!

 

[gaylean93]

Hi everyone! Well, after a completely stressful, crazy day we're at LAX at a hotel. We'll be at the airport at 7am for our 8:30 flight!!!! See you all on the other end either at the Hyatt or the port!!!

We will see you soon, have a nice trip.

 

[nanatink]

If any of you see an old lady geezer with leg braces on. Please don't hesitate to come and say hi. I don't get around to well in crowds because of balance problems. I would love to meet as many of you as possible. In keeping with the pirate theme my nickname is Double Peg Leg Molly Morgan. But my friends call me Molly. Really, Molly is a nickname my Mom use to call me. Come to think of it I have many nicknames.

 

[gaylean93]

confession we did too...and carry ons

We had 21 for the two families, seven people. You should have seen the guy that brought them up. He was all sweaty and out of breath He kept asking us how long we were staying.

Good morning Thieves!

6:47AM bags are zipped up and I'm waiting for my dear brother-in-law (spelled it out because he deserves it), to pick me up at 7:15 and head to the airport.

Looks like I have about 10 pages to catch up on since 430 last night...good job keeping this thread going to the last minute!

See some of you in just a few hours then Sat AM for lots of

....later kids.....and this time I MEAN IT>>>>>>SEE YOU LATER!!!

 

[4campers]

Ok, posting to AGAIN, to tell you all have a wonderful trip!! Can you tell I'm excited for you too!!!

I'm planning on taking some pic from the twopalms cam and I'll post it for you!

Bring her over slow and easy to us

 

[gaylean93]

So call me or I'm calling you!!!! We scrapped our plans for tomorrow, invite us over for swimming....

I would but you have to have bracelets to get in. It sucks because you have to wear them all the time and they are irritating.

 

[nanatink]

I'll be at DTD this afternoon from 4:30 for about an hour. Then at the port at about 10:30. Linda and I'll will be located at the mouse ears handing out mini navs and lanyards. Then we will be at 3PM at Promenade lounge (I think?) After that you can find me at 6566 - call me and I'll send em to your room or you can pick them up.

You will be really close by our room. You are just down from Marilyn's room. We should be seeing each other quite a lot.

 

[ibouncetoo]

Daniel and I were walking around Animal Kingdom today and he said..."by the way mom...where does this cruise go???"​

​

BUT...it lets you know that the trip is about you two being together....he doesn't care where he is, as long as he's with you!

 

[gaylean93]

hey a girls gotta fly ya know. I just had this totally bizzare picture of us gabbys in the lounge typing away instead of partying...I need to see you !!!!! ALL OF YOU!!!! SOON!!!!!!

Here is the "west coast gabby five" on the ship




And the rest that didn't make it in the club even though they are just as gabby (maybe a little less)



No partying for us, just DISing!

I suppose no one was able to answer any of my questions, or did not notice them?

At any rate, for those who are interested here is the link to PJ's page for friends and family. It also has link under track the magic for every cam and tracker you could possibly want.
