Joseph, Did you see the big Red Sox game? Wow, that sounded fantastic. We have Red Sox/Angels tickets this summer.

ok I must appologize if I made a snide response to an Angels fan. I assumed you had talked about the Dodgers. It wasn't a good opening day for us (Giants Fans)

 

[TammyAlphabet]

oh, I'd better call tomorrow and make sure, it's too late now. I did send a request online.

They may have already booked it for you. If you access your account on the website the reservation may already be there.

If not, I would call first thing in the morning and call. I think even the CM at DVC was surprised that it was available. It really made my day though.

I bought the Disney transfers, just because I think it would be easier, I have the Hyatt for the night before the cruise, and I am booked on Southwest for all legs. All I need are excursions and a big pile of cash for the bill at the bar I am going to have.

I am toying with the idea of staying out at Disneyland for a couple of days or so. I can change my air pretty easily on southwest if I decide to do that.

Does anyone know if Disney will provide transportation to the Disneyland resort instead of LAX after the cruise? My TA is out of town for a funeral.

yes they have told me that they will transfer from the ship to Grand CA for us.

that reminds me I need to cancel this, I'm riding with Marr in style.

[HollyTyler]

Holly that now makes you gross for asking

But I bet Wilson would have thought it was funny!

 

[lillygator]

I hope my GC reservation is ok, I never paid anything on it, they took my cc number and said to pay at check in, I did this last July/August I think.

Yup, THANKS!

I tried it when I was in OZ in 2004 - I thought it was very salty.

THANKS DEBORAH

Jan I hope things calm down for you soon!

NOW THAT I KNOW MY SISTER WILL BE WATCHING MY MOTHER FOR THE FOUR WEEKS OUR BROTHER IS GONE, I CAN RELAX, STUDY, WORK, GO ON A BUSINESS TRIP WITH DH TO NEW ORLEANS AND DO SOME READING WHILE HE IS IN MEETINGS. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CRUISE--BUT YOU ALL KNEW THAT, RIGHT?

Well, we are in Angels territory... and I missed the comment anyway. Still wouldn't be offended as I like baseball in general! Esp. baseball movies like Field of Dreams....but I think the game he went to was Dodgers/Red Sox in Los Angeles. It was a huge event because those two teams never play each other.

 

[edna mode]

maybe you meant him....

Butterflies

I know information has been posted before about how to do the butterfly farm in Aruba without the excursion and the ever-so-tempting aloe factory.

I think I need to get my act together to figure out how to do this. If anyone could repost, it would be most appreciated.

My first dog after my DH and I got married was named Lucy Boxmeyer.....she was an elderly woman for whom I cleaned house when I was in High School.

Great name! Was the dog a boxer by any chance?

Once again, no time to catch up, but just when we thought Monday was bad enough, Tuesday came along . . .

Sophia and I were in a minor accident last night. We went to Value City to (of all things) buy my brother underwear (non-bedazzled) and take it to the hospital. We were stopped at a light to, turn left. A car came up behind us and hit us going between 5-10mph - jolting us pretty good. I got out of the car to take a look at damage, and a young, African-American kid with loud rap music playing motioned to me to pull over in a parking lot. I said no, and as I walked back to the car to call 911, he pulled around us and took off up the street. I got his license plate.

Funny - I focused so much on the kid and the license plate, that I could not even remember the color or make of the car (and I am usually good at those details). Had I been really thinking, I would have used the camera attached to the phone on my hip to take a picture.

We waited for the police for about 20 minutes, and another 1/2 hour to complete the report. What a day.

Still not sure what is wrong with my brother, they gave him two more units of blood yesterday - total now 5.

I wonder what Wednesday will bring?

I am so lost on this thread...I am so far behind.

I did see this post and John I wanted to say I am so sorry. I hate this feeling...I am so glad you and Sophia were not hurt.

 

[disneylover5]

I am trying to keep up with the thread but even with my super human DISing skills, I lag behind.

Yesterday I had to take my son to see a pediatric cardiologist because he had a abnormal EKG. His blood pressure has been running high ever since his Dad died, I just assumed it was stress induced, but a "variant" EKG that the Dr. ordered sent us to see a specialist. He had an echocardiogram, which turned out to show that his heart is normal. WHEW!! This last year has been the hardest of my life and I am so glad that this was not another mountain to climb. I am worn out.

The grand jury will be meeting in May to look at all cases that they have to do. My husband's accused murderer will be one of those cases. I have a meeting with the DA on Friday of next week to go over the case and talk about the death penalty and all that. If convicted, this would be this person's third conviction for armed robbery.

I have always had mixed feelings about the death penalty and I am talking to my son about it, he feels that death penalty should be considered. This is all pretty overwhelming to me. It is one thing to be pro death penalty or against death penalty, but when you are faced with a situation like mine, it is a little harder to be pro death penalty. I mean this is considering an actual death and not just a theoretical death. I think about his family, who are most likely just innocent folks, maybe he has kids, a mother, siblings.... They have lost him to prison for the rest of his life for sure if found guilty, it is another thing to face the death sentence. I don't want to start a whole death penalty debate or anything, it is just something that I have to really think about right now.

None of this will be my decision for sure. So I am trying to think how my husband would have felt about it. In the few comments that I remember him saying about similar subjects, I believe that he would have said that people have to face up to the consequences of their actions, whatever they may be. This is how he lived his life. I am going to use this philosophy as my guide.

Sorry to post such a serious subject on a fun thread, I guess I just needed to vent a little. I am glad we will be out of town during this time as the media will most likely be trying to contact us for comments, pictures and so forth during the whole time it is on the "news". Thanks for listening...

Okay, back to the fun cruise planning.

You have so much to live with....oh my....I don't know how you put one foot in front of the other each day......God Bless you!!

Okay, serious business: I need discounts on Disneyland tickets. Mousesavers? Others?

Another: Should I call the Super Shuttle for a ride to the airport from Disneyland on the 30th of May? Is there a better option?

Thanks so much everyone!

Dland tickets are on sale on the site for 3 days at the price of 5 online I think, check Disney.com

Supper Shuttle can be booked the day before, maybe in a holiday season you need to book early. Watch the payment section, it shows a place for a tip, I suggest that you tip on the ride not on the web. JMHO

Also, we did Supper Shuttle from SNA (Orange County Airport) to Dland this last weekend, it was $30 for 3, we returned by cab it was $35 (not per person) I'm a cab snob, no more shuttles for me, they can be crowded and you have to stop at other peoples hotels and wait for them to tell the driver and so on. It takes longer to take the Shuttle. Call Hotel and ask them what the price would be for a cab, I bet with 3 people it's almost the same as Supper Shuttle and less crowded.

You can either take a cab and just tell them where to go or you can get a car and the company will give you directions. Cabs are expensive so get a price before you get in. You may be able to get a cab for a set amount of hours. If the price is too high offer less.
