May 12, 2007 -- Taking the Magic to the Mediterranean -- 14 day Repo Cruise!

[Scott H]

Snowed here yesterday, hope it melts today.

Life is busy so will try to keep up and am sorry if I miss anybody's questions etc...

As Nikki said, DLP english is not a prob at all, here answer is spot on.

Traveling light.... doing laundry and hand washable stuff should work. As others have said, plan on seeing me in the same clothes a couple of times.

Off to WDW in a couple of weeks.

Hey I gotta go get the new Buffett Album today!!!!!

Class all this week and I am in early to get final work stuff done before I move.

Later

Bonzie1, its good to hear from you again, I don't think I realized you weren't going with us anymore.

Thanks! I'll still be lurking.

QUESTION: Anyone who's been to DLP. Is the language much of a barrier??? If you don't speak French, can you still make it around okay. I know Haunted Mansion's dialog is in French.

Thanks!

OOPS! Just backread through a few posts! Thanks for the answer about English and DLP! Life is just moving too quickly right now!

Scott! SNOW??? Wow!

O.K. one more hurdle down for this cruise. I now have the two weeks of the cruise off as paid vacation. We schedule our vacations during this week of October for the following year. Whew! Next step is the final payment. :sacred1:

Getting closer every day!

DVC membership has it's privileges. Received this Giclee Print today. Kewl.

I know it is a little blurry, but the real thing is real neat. Can't wait to hang it.

Bob,

How will you hang it? Will you buy a frame with no glass to surround it, or will you hang it alone? I wasn't sure how to do it.

Bob, I scored “Take the Weather With You” yesterday for $9.99 at Kmart, no Walmat here. I like it. Just helping Jimmy maintain. LOL Hey Vitamins are expensive.

House is showing in a very positive light, some folks are even coming back, doing all we can and are hoping it sells soon.

I leave Sunday, making my move to Cheyenne. Living in a van down by the river. Lynn will be down there on 10/20 to house hunt.

This week, my new team leader got me into a very good class. I feel good as I am keeping up and not falling behind. Then again it has only been two days.

Georgie the DVC print thing I think will just be hung all alone, I might put it in my new office in Cheyenne. Ours was in the mail when we got home.

I am and am not looking forward to WDW in a couple of weeks, too much going on, yet a break might be a good thing.

Hey anyone else from the crew going to be at WDW at the end of OCT and first of November???? We have a conference/show Nov 8-11 at the Orange CO Convention Center.

Later Kids, wishing all well, and thanks for the great memories...... and remember She is just a Hula Girl at Heart... (JB reference)

That's GREAT news!

Safe Travels! Hope you can find a place real soon!

We will just miss you. Going down to Mouse Beach for a few days, and then the Member Cruise next weekend (10/20-10/26)

Bummer Georgie, we arrive 10/27 at about 0900, albeit after leaving Denver at 12:55 AM.

Amazing. That's where I got mine. Everywhere else wanted $12+
Don't think he's making much money at $9.99 though. That's O.K.

You had me on that one for a while Scott. Finally figured out the Chris Farley reference(the Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker character) Good luck on the house.

Almost had me on that one too. Then the next song played on the new CD...gues which one it was

We made a point of traveling light on our two week Italy trip. We did a carryon size suitcase and small backpack each. We had purchased quite a few quick drying items from REI and did a lot of handwashing.

For the cruise, we'll probably try to do something similar. We do plan on an extra suitcase for our "dress up" clothes though.

We'll be traveling light too. We only took a week's worth of clothes on the Panama Canal cruise and figure we'll do the same. I just don't want to have to cart my nicer cruise clothes and shoes (dinner, formal nights etc.) around Europe for two additional weeks.

Hey all!

Jason and I are arriving in Orlando on Friday, May 4th. We're staying off property (to save $$ and DVC points) on the 4th and 5th then first thing on the morning of Sunday, May 6th we check into Animal Kingdom Lodge (Savannah view room) and we're staying there (on DVC points) until the cruise.

My parents might come down and stay with us for a few days during our week at AKL, too, because they haven't been to Orlando/Disney in years and years. Then after the cruise (Saturday) is done we're going back to Disney and staying at Saratoga until Memorial Day (Monday)...then, sadly, it's back to the real world.

Hi guys,
Well, after 9 days of company in the house and being sick, I'm desperately trying to get caught up here. We hit DL & CA several times. The decorations were really cool around the two parks, mostly the entrance to DL. Woody's area was cute. Saturday was the first night of the Halloween party at CA and it actually rained here. We were leaving the park when everyone was lining up in their costumes. For some reason they were in line 90 min. early - anyone know why? The minute we walked in the door the rain, thunder and lightening hit (we rarely get thunder and lightening!) I felt terrible for all the people there. We may not see rain for months and it had to be then. Not sure what CA did about the event. The Villains scream awards was cute, but for some reason we had it in our heads that it would be a stage show, but it was more of a film show. We didn't go in Tower of Terror which is supposed to be decorated, but we had little ones with us. At DL, Main Street was really fun. We don't have a special Halloween parade here, so hopefully in future years we'll have more like WDW. We have tickets for Sunday, so I'll let you know.

I'd like to know about the GSF too?????

I'm taking my DVC print to Aaron Bros. to see if they have any recommendations.

We're arriving 5/8/07 staying at the all star movie - I was 2 points short to stay at OKW, so we decided to save our points for the following December. We'd like to see WDW for the Christmas decorations and festivities
