November 11, 2006 - MAGIC - Special Western "Double Dip" Cruise 11/11/06

[WendyJersey]

My goodness you all have been BUSY posting today.
Docs arrived today (never heard them knock, but I almost stepped on them on the back deck on the way to the mailbox today.)
So is everyone packed and ready yet (yeah right?)!

I too went to watch Grey's Anatomy and found out it wasn't just one repeat but TWO! Come on ABC, it's only October. What's with the re-runs (eventhing on TV tonight seems to be a rerun other than Smallville!)

So two weeks from today I'll be almost at WDW (woo hoo) and spending 2 weeks from tomorrow at Food & Wine.

Where will you be two weeks from TODAY?

Yes it is a shame it was repeats both times. Wished they would do that while we are on the trip.

My cable was out so I missed Survivor and GA! So glad that GA was a repeat but now I don't know what happened on Survivor!!!!!!!!

Two weeks from today we will be at Epcot doing the F&W with my mom. We called her last year from there while we were eating from Ireland and Germany and she really wants to go!

Good Morning everyone
Boy you were a chatty bunch last night!
Carolyn
Congrats!! Plaese post a picture when you get a chance. I can not imagine how proud you feel.
Thanks to all that wished Angie well. I needed to keep her away from food and drink ALL day so I figures why not get in the car and take a ride to see the WONDER! It was a real distraction because no matter what when you see her in all her beauty you have to feel good. We took a quick look around Ron jon surf shop and drove back to Orlando. The Childerns hospital really Pi--ed me off. We had to be there at 1:30 and they did not take her in untill 3:00 . I feel that is cruel and unusal punishment. Angelina is mentally age equivelent of a 1 year old so they is no way to rationalize with her. It really breaks you heart to watch you childern suffer. I did make DH stay with us while they sedated her. I have been though is so many times with her but no matter how many times you see it watching you child be sedated never get easier. Now that she is a big girl she really fights it and coming out of it is a huge challenge. Now the really hard part happens. The waiting to hear what they have to say. They took a ton of blood and urine to run a lot of test so I am sure it will take weeks to find some of the results. Thank God of this CRUISE!!
Thanks for all thats have sent me well wishes. It means more then you can ever imagine.
Back to planning. But the why I got our Doc's yesterday . That was a real moral booster.

Glad things went ok with Angelina we will wish for good results now!!

Mom2of2 Survivior was one of those season in review things not a repeat but we had seen it all nothing new.

Two weeks from today I will be on a boat to take me to a car to take me to an airport to take me to SUNNY ORLANDO!! Should be in around 4. Sleep and go to the port

Jack good job on doing the parent thing you can get it next time

Michelle - Flymvy was asking where the nearest Fed Ex was near the port. I think you would probably know since you are lucky enough to "cruise" by the Wonder for a peek (im Jealous) Thanks

 

[mom2of2]

thanks nani!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad that we didn't miss anything!!!

Good Morning everyone,

The travel company we booked our trip through has been awful so far and I'm worried that if the travel documents go to them first we may never receive them. What is in the package? I will start pestering them next week as we leave on the 8th but I'm just wondering what the pkg contains?

Thanks,

Tracey

 

[dragonflydreaming]

We just booked into WDW for 3 night prior to the cruise and the TA we used let us know that we now qualified for a shuttle service from MCO to WDW, WDW to the Magic and from Magic back to MCO.

Have any of you used these shuttles? I had a rental car booked but then was planning on booking Happy Limo. Do any of you have any info on the shuttles?

Thanks,

Tracey

Michelle...glad things went well with the MRI and sedation. I will NEVER understand the whole radiology dept. We had that very same experience here with my DGD. At 15 weeks we aere not allowed to feed her and you can imagine what that was like when they ran over 2 hours late for her procedure, not to mention the niose level in the waiting room. It broke my heart and made me furious. I was not as worried about the other folks in the waiting room or the staff, I was worried about how she was feeling starved. I managed to keep my composure, but I sure made it clear that it was unacceptable. Not that that helped them speed it along. It has been 4 weeks since the test, and still no results. I already got on my DIL to make some phone calls becaue this hospital is top notch (normally) and this is not good customer service. OOPS I digressed. Hope you get your results soon, I would not give them more than a week and I would be on them, but that is just me (Ms Impatient).

Your Bahama customs documents and luggage tags (these are most important).

 

[Spotdude]

ok you people are out of control I keep getting emails that a new message has been posted and I haven't even finished the one I was reading I am 8 pages back and I checked yesterday. WOW

 

[Spotdude]

Ok welcome everyone I have missed. WOW one day and it took me 45 min to catch up. (I am working on my nieces puter I was reading the it through remote assistance it is really slow)

First DIS Tag can someone post the rules, plans, ideas, what I need to bring. I remember reading it and cutting and pasting it some where in my old puter. I copied the hard drive to the new one before I erased it, but I can't find it.


Second I am so jealous. I want my DOCs. As soon as I get them I can leave if I want to, or I get laid off.

I am staying home today maybe they'll be here before I HAVE TO leave. I really needed a day to do nothing but relax. I am getting sick. Under three hours of sleep a day is catching up to me.
I am going to get some eggs

 

[jerry112]

Good morning all,

WOW, it's getting really hard to keep up with this thread. I had to read 6 pages since last night!!

Things are getting really busy here, too. We actually leave for WDW next Sat 11/4. And I still have so much to do. Hope everyone has a great weekend! ( No docs here yet, either)

Thanks Dee
Since you have lived it you know how heart breaking it is. I am writtng a letter this time if nothing else it will help me vent. Angelina has been having test all of her life, but I have to say when she was a tiny peanut like your DGD it was gut retchining(sp?) . I will keep her and you family in my T&P's I know first hand how hard the waiting is.

 

[schwaja3]

Okay new challenge.

Who ever prevents Jack from being poster#5000 I will buy them dinner and a drink

Now that's just plain old mean.

 

[schwaja3]

Where is Jack now that we need him to come to the challenge.
Oh Jack where are you, come out and play

Remember, I'm from Jersey, so 11:30 is late for me. I have to get up in the morning and go to work to pay for this cruise.

Tracey, you CAN use Magical Express (free) from MCO to WDW. The DCL bus however does cost...it's $60 round trip (for you that's WDW to Port C and Port C to the airport) per adult and slightly less for children. You can only be picked up from specific WDW resorts (so you have to get yourself to one of them) and you won't get to the ship till about 1:30 (ish).

The least expensive option is probably keeping the car. You certainly have the most flexability this way also. If you don't really need the car for any other reasons and are not concerned about the money, I'd suggest what Peg and I are doing. We are using Magical Express from MCO to WDW (free), hired a towncar from resort to the port ($$) and are using DCL ($30 each) from port to MCO on departure day. We just couldn't stand the thought of waiting at our resort for the DCL bus knowing our playments were in the terminal partying and getting on the ship!

 

[ktkberg]

Good morning ya'll.

We still haven't gotten our doc's yet either I hope to have them soon. Our last cruise we got them way early.

Michelle there are not enough words to offer some kind of support for all you all are going through. We will keep Angie and you all in our prayers.

Well my kindergartener's are in a Walk-a-thon today so I'm off to help out.

Have a blessed day
Tammy
