May 13, 2007 EARLY Roll Call 5/13/2007 4-Night Wonder

[Skyw]

Here are my two thoughts on the various discounts that are missing for our cruise date:

Either it is too early for them to release the specials...but I doubt that one as they have specials listed for cruises just shy of our sailing.

My other thought on this is that we are the first sailing after the Magic leaves for the Mediterranean, so the Wonder will be the only ship in FL= HIGH DEMAND from our sailing on. Bummer for us I guess.

If you do win the lottery, please consider giving all your loyal DIS cruisers a ship board credit, please

I will do my best to share the wealth if I win lotto. I think you are right about the only shop being in FL. for the discounts. That makes alot of sense.

I think Scottie hit the nail on the head too with that one. They now they will sel out most likely at full price so why bring it down. IT is a supply and demand thing.

We still are hoping for that upgrade but after this talk I do not see that happening. It never crossed my mind that it will be the only ship in FL then. Maybe that is why the cost has gone up the way it has. Our trip is up almost 1,200.00 since we booked. But hey aleast we all have a room and know we will have food.

Scottie any news on MIL job hunt.

 

[scottie]

Thanks for asking about the MIL. My DW is actually at the airport as I type with the kids dropping Grandma off from her extended stay with us. We all enjoyed her company and look forward to seeing her again in just about one month for vacation!

As for the job hunt. I think she got a couple of calls from companies looking for someone to run their rental business while she was up here. I think she may have said she has a couple of interviews lined up for tomorrow and Friday, if I heard her correctly.

Does anyone have one of those Dyson vaccums? I believe I am going to get the DW one as a gift since she has been begging me for one. I found a pretty sweet deal on the DC07 at Kohls, and was curious if anyone has any feedback from experience??

They are wonderful. My sister just bought the DC07 and she loves it. She said she vaccumed with the old Vac. then with the Dyson and she could not believe it. I am going to get one but I think after our trip. I mean 400.00 right now is alot with the trip coming up. A sweet dea would be nice. I say go for it. You can always buy me one too. After all I have a dog that sheds like a new carpet every week.

 

[scottie]

Luckily our dog is a pug, and doesnt make much of a mess hair wise....other stuff thats a different story! After discounts I think the one from Kolhs will be about $250, which isnt bad for that pricey item.

No that is not bad. That is a great price. I might have to check that out.

 

[mickey4]

I should have told you We have a Golden. Hair cleans up real easy but this time of year there is alot of it.

 

[scottie]

By Golly… I believe we have hit the 30 day mark until we step onto an airplane from Columbus! Let the days slip on by!

 

[mickey4]

Scottie is that not the best feeling. I love watching days count down inseatd of months. Our trip is coming up. I just hink these last few days might go by slow. Even with everything going on.

Yes it snowed here in IL yesterday and am thinking this weather is giving me the blues. I need these days to fly by. We do have looking forward to our Documents that are coming 3 day UPS on the 25th. Then we can pack. I am looking forward to that. And then we are off. My boys keep telling me we are going to be off soon mom.

I guess I can think about packing maybe that will make the days go by faster. T-ball has been cancelled again for this week kind of hard to play in the snow.

We also have 2 pugs but unlike your dog, ours do shed quite a bit. I think the breed has different types of fur where some shed more than others.

 

[scottie]

I was not aware pugs could shed much. Learn something new every day on DIS!

 

[scottie]

Mickey4- hitting 30 days is a great feeling for sure!

My MIL ended up having to spend the night in Detroit last night because her connecting flight got delayed big time from all the crazy weather.

 

[Skyw]

I didn't win the lotto!!!! I think I will save my money for the cruise instead of lottery tickets.

I am trying to get my trip ticker to work. I have been too lazy to put one on. The last time I used one, it was for how many days until I get out of the Active Duty Army. I had it on my screen saver.

No dogs here. We think my son has animal hair allergies. Kinda of a bummer.

 

[mickey4]

Scottie yes we had some of that crazy weather here. Snow and more snow. I am so sick of winter. What happened to Spring. I did look at the 30 day out look for Disney and they said it should be 88 to 90's while we are there. That sounds wonderful right now.

As far a dogs go our boys got their Golden from Santa just over a year ago. She is one will be two in OCT. of this year and is wonderful. I am so happy we got her. Last year we bought this stuff call Opitma 365 and we had no sheding this year we did not do that but I can tell you next spring we will be buying it again. The stuff worked great.

Do we have a time machine where we can speed up time then slow it down. I would love to be leaving in the moring then slow it back down to normal time. Ok I know that is not possible. I would love to be working in the flower garden. i just wish the snow would leave and it would feel like spring.

 

[mickey4]

Well I just almost fell of my chair. I just priced our trip to see how much it is now. For our Land sea package it is 5,200.00 that is alot more than what we paid. we could not afford our own trip right now. Just the cruise is 3,597.24 for a Cat. 9 room. I am blown away by this.

 

[Skyw]

Our cruise price went up by at least $400. Sure does pay to make reservations early. We made ours 1.5 years ago. As soon as they were released.

Our weather is crappy here too. We had such nice weather 2 weeks ago and now it is blah!!! Kids can't even go outside. Too cold. My DH and I agree that we need to move further south. He is from Ohio and I am from MI and we still think it is too cold for us.

 

[mickey4]

Us too for booking way out. we booked Feb 16th 2006. Like almost the day the prices came out. It was nuts my husband said but now he see's the light.

The weather her stinks as I look out and see snow. Just to make sure we are coming up to mother's day and just has easter right. It's not time for X-mas.

I just want to get outside. I think at times I am as bad as the boys. I think that is part of being a stay at home mom. We look for those outside days. we get the inside blues.

 

[Skyw]

My son gets so bored at home during the winter months. I am a stay at home mom too. Well, kinda. I am in the National Guard so I do my thing every month and my family comes to watch my son. I only have 1.5 years to go and I can get my retirement. So that gets me out of the house occasionally. I got my flowers in the mail and I can't even plant them !!!

 

[mickey4]

I know what you mean about feeling stuck in the house. Days are going by and boy do we need this trip. Just before the trip I will start my trip report on Passporter.com maybe here too. I wanted to do one at a time. With a little history of why so look for it. The other thing because building still has not picked up enough my husband is working nights which is hard on the family and they lower his pay. Hugh we never get a break. I am hoping things turn around right before the trip or right after other wise I hope he finds something new. But enough sad stuff because WE ARE GOING TO DISNEY WORLS IN 27 DAYS. I just had to shout it once.
