[seaulater]

Wait a minute - I though you always said your DH is a big nut! I don't remember the "fan" part.

Ken

That too! You know him way too well!

 

[cquick]

WOW! Patrick and I will be going to the movies for sure! Except for Pirates of the Carribean, it's too scary for him. But that's ok.

I AM GETTING SO EXCITED. AND NERVOUS. GOT TO GET ORGANIZED!
all of the rest of you seem to have everything under control!

I still say I am going to throw everything we own in to suitcases and boxes and trash bags and then after we wear something , toss it out, so much easier than actually thinking about what to bring!

 

[seaulater]

Lanyards--Thank you very much to Ken and the entire lanyard team Also to Debbie for the awesome list and Linda for the mini navigator Linda will there be a mini navigator for each cabin or do we have to share ours with my in-laws?

I've got you down for two staterooms 6002/6004, so if I don't see you at Scott and Lynn's party, or in the DCL terminal before we board, they will be in the fish mail at each stateroom!

 

[seaulater]

Scott - she is so excited to be going. Still no scuba card - that is supposed to be next month, but she will enjoy snorkling at least. I am a bummed that I can't join you all, but I am thrilled that Adrienne will be able to.

Her arm is a bit bruised, but thankfully, it should be fully healed by the time she arrives in Orlando. It wasn't just Linda - Ken, Shari, and of course, her husband all had a part. But as we all know - when Linda sets her mind to something, it will happen.

She probably won't check in online. With only a week to book the cruise, book air travel, do laundry, pack, get the store ready to leave with the staff for two weeks, I don't think she will have much time for sleeping - at least not until Friday night when she gets on the plane.

Heck - we had to track down our travel agent. He was sitting on a cruise ship in San Diego, waiting to sail on a repo cruise to Vancouver. He was somehow able to book it all in only 30 minutes.

Me - I get to sit back and watch the fun!



I think Adrienne got the last Cat 11. We booked her a Cat 12, and her assignment to 11 came through yesterday.

Tony

Tony, we will miss you and I will have Robert eat an extra entree on your behalf each night!

But, we will be sailing together on the SS Member Cruise in October! YIPPEE!

 

[kpros]

Tony, we will miss you and I will have Robert eat an extra entree on your behalf each night!

Wait a minute Linda - that would mean 3 each night, not just the normal 2.

Just fill in the blanks for everyone in your party. When it comes to the following that might be questions:

Number of nights = 0
Hotel = Blank
You arrived on a ferry/cruise/other

Let me know your other questions. Also remember that they will help you on the ship to fill them out. You don't need to stress over it now.

Okay, so I thought I would be a good kid and print out my contract on DCL's website so I could sign before I got to the terminal.

Now, with all the people linked to my contract, I have A 78 PAGE CONTRACT

NO JOKE!

Okay, so I cancelled the print job and only got to page 25! Am worried my luggage will be overweight if I take all 78 pages

78 PAGES????

WOW! I wish I was linked to your contract too!!!

Looking forward to seeing you on Friday!

 

[seaulater]

By the way, yesterday I called the Castaway Club # at DCL to let them know I was disappointed that everyone I was sailing with got their magnets, but I never got mine.

After much research, the CM said "with all the changes that kept happening to my reservation, somehow the system missed me." They said they could mail them out, but I wouldn't get in time for the cruise. I said no problem, my parents would be staying at my house and would get my mail. They are mailing them to me today.

Also, got my "gift" from DVC yesterday. It was sitting on my front porch. I was thinking I might know what it was by the little clues on the board and it was exactly what I thought. When I was on the Disney Wonder for Easter I went to the DVC Member Celebration and won that item. I think it is pretty KEWL! Now I have 2!

 

[tazzmacd]

Pat--You trease, but how will you feel if I do forget and you don't have a skirt?!?!

Hadley, I have faith in you to remember, besides what time are you planning on arriving at the terminal? We can always try and arrive close to the same time and I can get them at that point.

Just a question on the Mini Navigators, do you have a file or a link to a web page that I can print one out before I go?

Got to love that movie list, seen most of them, Wild Hogs is really funny, can't see it being PG 13 but oh well.

OK I gave up counting in days now, we have 62 hours before we leave to catch the plane to begin the trip.....DW is going nuts, she is frantically putting the finishing touches on our pirate costume, she hopes to finish tonight but man they do look nice, she out did herself this time. Packing, that might be tomorrow night with us finishing Thursday night. I figure that if we don;t have it by Thursday night Oh well.

Of course I jsut realized that I have to put the finishing touches on our Door Magnets!!! AH.......worked until almost midnight last night and it will be another late night tonight to try and get everything finished before I leave. I hate the last minute scrabbles at work.

For me, buying the booze when I arrive for a couple of reason, cheaper, don;t have to worry about bring it across the boarder and it won't break on the plane oh did I mention cheaper.

So looking forward to this vacation now.......

Cheers!!

Pat

Yeah, I called them last Thursday and got told the same thing. Still haven't got them, so I called today and they checked and the request went in, they just have no idea when I will get them...<I believe the correct answer is NEVER>
