Does anyone know when DU puts our obc on our res?

I called today to see what I have for obc to do some more planning, and I don't have the $400 that I'm supposed to have.

we're home...in the cold! But now it is feeling more like December. The girls are watching the Polar Express. John is on his way home from the gym and he's stopping by the grocery store for dinner supplies.

I am not sure...did you book direct with them? I am just making sure I keep track. I haven't added to my obc, but getting Disney dollars together.

I would think after final payment because it's coming from DU and probably hasn't been done until they know for sure that you are not cancelling.


There sure are alot of cats. opening up for this cruise - this morning every cat 5-11 was available.

I just want to make sure that I get all that's coming to me....

All I asked for presents for my bday and Christmas is obc. Now that shore excursions are out it gives me more of an idea of what I need....plus I need $ for spa treatments and of course adult beverages!

For those taking the Hummerzine to the port. Do you remember what time we are meeting at the airport? Or have we set a time yet?

I haven't finalized anything yet (sorry I didn't get back to you when you PM'd me). There are 2 going and they both need to go at the same time since they are sharing the luggage van. I think the consensus had been as early as possible so between 9/930 time frame. What time does the port open? Many people want to be there early. Any other riders have opinions?

Amy,

Still very far behind...

When is your Birthday?

I know that Noel's is the 20th. Mine is the 22nd. Are you a December Birthday girl too?

Karen

Karen...my youngest DD shares your bday!

this is what I found on cruise critic....

V...what great information! Sounds like you are putting together one fun filled day in jeeps!!!!

Deb, congrats on the weight loss! I'm not starting my program until January 2, then I have 10 weeks before Mexico

 

[fourmcds]

Does anyones notice that the little boat (or whatever you have for you ticker) doesn't ever really move?! They keep changing the time frame of the countdown clock so it always seems to be in the same place even though we are getting closer!

 

[LiserAnn]

I'm so happy....I just weighed myself and I lost the 5lbs that I gained over Birthday and Turkey day plus another 2lbs for a total of 7lbs in the last two weeks. Slow but steady we're making progress. YEAH!!!

Great job Deb!!!

Early is good. I know we can't board but nonetheless the cumpulsive planner in me is appeased when I'm there early.

Ella,
I have only been to King of Prussia once- for the Beadfest this past August, but I am sure that show would also be one of the larger shows. I don't know if the vendors would buy from individuals or not, but certainly worth a try to ask. Even if they don't buy, they may be able to give you some suggestions about selling them. One thing I have found since starting to make the jewelry is that the other people doing the same things are one of your best resources. I've gotten to know some of the vendors a little, and if you are nice and talk to them, they are willing to give you some ideas and sometimes a better deal if they remember you. Plus it's just fun to go to these shows. As far as selling my jewelry goes, my DH and I (he makes glass things-mostly pendants) have done several craft shows this past fall. This is just a hobby for us to give us something to do. The best we have done and the biggest event we have done is Olde Salem Days, which is a HUGH!!!! show in Salem, VA which is right beside Roanoke. They say that it draws 100k+ people every year. The vendor next to us this year was from PA. P.S.-we just recently stayed at the Poly in WDW and we went in to the Wyland Gallery there, and I don't know if anything will come of it or not, but the manager noticed the glass dolphin my DH was wearing, and asked him to e-mail some pictures of some of his pendants-he makes a lot of aquatic animals. He's only been doing the torch work for about a year, so he was thrilled. ....Vicki

Thanks Gydell! I just called Will and let him know. He's calling DCL right now!

I bet this cruise will have the most early birds!!

 

[mishoe01]

I plan to be on the 1st shuttle out to the port. Planning on doing a "park and fly" package at one of the airport hotels so that I don't need to worry about dealing w/ getting someone to drop me off and pick me up. A little more to spend, but easier.
