Hmm...where did I get that from? Oh wait, on page one it says your Friday night stay is at the Riverside. That's at the same hotel were staying except we're at the French Quarter.

Hmm. Maybe I read it wrong. darn it!!!! I'm sure Shawn and I will see you and Ash before dinner on Port night, after all we are stateroom neighbors!! YEA!!!!!

Ya we were at riverside inn, but since there was no space launch we decided to go stay a few nights in Daytona Beach.

We are Neighbors, im sure we will meet b4 dinner!

I do have one qustion though!

I booked with Dreams Unlimited and i got this promotion where i get $100 State room credit...How do i know that i got it before i go?? I guess i could call Dreams Unlimited???

Hey Andy when are you and Ashley leaving Ontario???
Are you driving straight through? We are trying to figure out how far we will drive before stopping, we cross at the Buffalo border since we live in Fort Erie which is literally across the Niagara River from Buffalo...

Today was my last final in college forever

Congrats!!! What a wonderful feeling.

got my FE gifts ordered last night - hope everyone likes them!

Oooooh, I'm getting so excited to see all the wonderful goodies.

Belinda- That's horrible how many times your flight was been changed! Boo on AirTran.

There's just soo much to think about now that it's coming down to cruise time, I'm so afraid that I'm going to forgot something (like the passport or cruise docs)! I think I'll make myself sticky notes everywhere so I can double check, and triple, and quadruple......

Oh, and Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone. I really wanted a big order of nachos tonight but oh no, instead my celebration was a 2 hour Zumba Party after work. I'm not really sure why the gym calls it a party though, no nachos, no margaritas, just 2 hours of working out.

Any one watching AI? Adam was really good. The duet is really good. too. Nice twist.
Anyone "celebrate" Cinco de Mayo? We had our margaritas!
Do we need to sign up ourselves for the tastings? Also fo rthose who have done Disney before, how to you get an early exit for a private tour company excursion? We are booked with Captain Marvin, first thing in the AM. I just want to make sure we can get off on time. See you all soon!!!

Did you say West Virginia! That's my home . I literally live less than 10 minutes off of Interstate 77 (Exit 9 to be exact). I assume that's the way you'll be coming through. There's quite a few hotels at our exit. If you decide to stop around here you should let me know. We won't be leaving until the 15th so we will be in town!

It is a great flipmap that you can order that gives you an idea of construction areas, speed traps ( not that I speed!lol) and gives you a great idea of hotels and etc.. I love them, better than Mapquest in my opinion.. we are hoping to get to a good area that is not to far from Florida.. so hopefully 16 hours in the car will do it!

Would someone be willing to post or sent the link to where we can download the Key Lime Pie rates DIS Graphic to create a magnet?

Thanks,
Laura

Laura: If you email me at my screen name plus yahoo dot com, I'll send your the file in a paint and power point format!

Today was my last final in college forever I cannot wait to graduate in four days! I finally feel like all my hard work has paid off and that I can finally enjoy a real vacation.

Congratulations!!! That's certainly an accomplishment to celebrate!

Iv never heard of Cinco de Mayo, What is it?... I know it means the 5th of May in Spanish?

Andy: Cinco de Mayo is the day back on May 5, 1862 when the Mecican army (very underrepresented) beat the French army in a battle in Puebla, Mexico. Basically, Americans use it as a day to drink margaritas and eat Mexican food! (Most Americans think it's Mexican Independence day, but it is NOT!)
FWIW I participated and have NO tolerance for alcohol these days! 2 margaritas and I've had TOOOOOO much!

Belinda: I feel you on the Airtran thing. That happened to us when we were supposed to fly home from our last cruise. We planned to fly out at noon and ended up sitting at the San Juan airport until 6 pm waiting on a flight which they delayed (prior to the cruise we got the notification letter)! It was quite annoying, but I think they do that kind of stuff a lot!

Everyone: We found out today that my Dad and brother are heading to south GA with our luggage on Tuesday. So, it's a good thing I'm almost packed since our luggage is going 2 days before we do! I'm hoping to get my eye exam either tomorrow or Thursday so that I can see about contacts and new glasses (and sunglasses)! It would be nice to actually SEE the things in the water... On Saturday, we are heading to this mountain lake, renting a boat, and fishing all day with my parents and brother. Sunday is my last shopping/packing day, so I've got a few more things to buy. Plus, I'd like to go bear hunting (with binoculars and camera...not guns) that day as well since the new cubs should be coming out soon...

Can't wait to meet everyone! We'll definitely be by the pool around 9 at the Radisson! See you all real soon!

I'll get started on Idol here in a sec once the boys go to bed so I can watch uninterrupted.

We did Cap'n Marvin's last time, and for the earliest tender boat on GC, we got to the Buena Vista theater (deck 5 aft) ~7:15ish (I think) and waited until the next tender after the DCL excursions left. We were one of the last families to get on the first tender, so maybe getting there by 7:00 would be better. Just remember to grab towels from the pool area either before you get to the theater or else the night before because they only hand them out for the DCL excursions--NOT the privately booked ones!!! Justin ran back for them and got back just in time to catch up to us as we were headed for the tender!

 

[tinkattude6]

Happy Cinco Demayo!
Well we had Chicken enchiladas, Nacho,Cheese &Salsa at our house. We all love Mexican food so we had a little Fiesta. I wish you all were here.

I just wanted to let you all know we leave the 14th after work,so hope to see you all driveing on I-95.Will be the stealth green mini van(pontiac Montana ) w PA plates lol. I can't believe we are this close.Still have so much to get done.
I was wondering is anyone going to DW after the cruise? We will be staying offsite @ Summerbay resort for a week folllowing the cruise if anyone wants to continue the Magic you can let us know. 11 days and counting.......

Noooooo..........!!! Does AirTran have an earlier flight that would work for you???? I have flown them (and won't any more because of the constant schedule changes) and if there is a change to my flight that will not work, I have called them and asked to be put on a different flight. They have done this every time for no fee (even going from a connecting flight to a non-stop). Please see if you can do this . I soooo want to see you and Shawn at our Epcot pre-cruise DIS meet . ~ Kathy

Kathyand our other Epcot Diser's!!!

WOO-HOO!! Shawn called AirTran and gave them pure hell!! We got put on an earlier flight to Orlando!! Sooooo........We will be at Epcot!!!!We will try our best to be at the 3pm meet but just in case we miss you guys, we will be their at 10:00pm!!!
I wouldn't miss meeting you guys for the world Way too excited!!!

 

[Hudson5&Lennon3]

Yay Belinda!! Not that we'll be at Epcot on Friday or anything, but I'm glad you're not having to rearrange your plans because of it!

None of us need any of these last-minute hassles!
