Carolyn...you do not need luck, I am sure you can do it. I did not want to assume that you had a printer hooked up to all your computers. Tell Dh no offense.

Just needed you! I was trying to print the ones in the FAQ and I kept losing the right side of the document. But, the links you posted were just the right size and I didn't need to do any remotely tricky. Thank you!

DH would have taken no offense, anyway, it's just he's such a nerd, he'd think it was funny that someone would have a printer and not have it hooked up. And, in truth, that would be me, if I didn't have him!

Must vent croc frustration....

Ordered athens (2 pair) last week, along with a pair of beach one for DS, all items showed in stock, order showed shipped, only DS pair shipped! Mine were now out of stock, so order was cancelled!

Very frustrated!

 

[faireygod mother]

We are now 12 families and 56 people total. I think they are shutting down our town that week.
Jack

Okay Pat, howcome Jack is not banned. He has twice the amount of people going as I have.


Wendy, how regretful about your crocs. I hope they come in time for the cruise.

 

[TiggersPal]

Hey all - thanks for a great chat last night.

Wendy - gal - if you put them in your wish list, they will notify you when they get them in stock. That's what crocs did when I was just "thinking" and "hoping". I actually found my flip flops at Dillards because i think everyone on the Dis ordered that day... but then I got an email later that they re-supplied.

At least they know how to fill a back order quicker than I EVER would have imagined. I've been shopping on line for years and their customer service is really good. I understand your frustration - however - I do hope you will get your complete order filled soon.

I'm hoping we'll hear from some of our long lost diser's soon. Rachel? Vickie???? Are you still booked? We haven't heard from you ... hope all is well folks and you'll check in with us soon. We miss you!

Who else is doing the "Southwest Airlines watch" for November to show up in their booking window? Man, I gotta get on those THE DAY they open up....don't want to be spending $400 each for this trip...(though that's what I budgeted for). Every penny saved off that airfare is more $$ for FUN STUFF.

OK, I may be crazy but I've been thinking about the Spa Villas on the ship...I mean, they don't have to be for couples right? Sisters could share huh? I don't know, maybe not a great idea for the $$ as neither of us are hot tub people. They just look so cool!

Hey....I didn't notice THIS new smiley....LOVE IT!

Wendy
Did you look if crocs have a local retailer near you? I was shocked that my town has 2 and our local mall (at Dillards) carries them.Seems like they carry them in store that sell dr/nurse uniforms.
I bought a pair for each of the kids this week. Vito jr used his Tuesday while at MK and he got a blister on the top of his foot. I was shocked. But he still loves them .I talked him into the tan color, but he really wanted the bright blue or green. I also got Angelina a pair of the bright pink ones and she is so proud of them . She can actually but them on her self (which is huge)The first day she wore them we had to fight her to take them off to go to sleep. Normally I cannot keep a pair of she on her. So they must be very comfy for her. Next week I will get a pair for myself an Vito sr.
Is anyone else having trouble sleeping since the DD navigators were posted? I am so OCP that I can't get the brain to shut down from cruise planning mode at night.

 

[faireygod mother]

Does anyone know why some names on the first page are in blue? Curious minds want to know.

Michelle, I read everynight from the passporter and send a tip of the day out to my group. I amnot sure if it is good or bad to be so OCP.

Have a great day all.

 

[Hannosmom]

Haha! Dee, I was wondering the same thing the other day. Maybe Pat was having a blue moment when she typed those.

Michelle, I totally understand about Angelina. My DD, Sarah, (chichihoney) has CP and has lots of trouble with shoes. She has very tiny feet too. She has worn her crocs all day, every day, since they came in. Luckily, she does take them off at night.

Hey, guess what....I found out today that Woody73 is not only cruising with us this fall but he and his lovely DW will be sailing with Jeff and me next year. He posted on the thread I started back in March for the Nov 07 Western....yes....my obsessive side is showing again.....

Can't wait....now I'm getting excited about both cruises......

 

[woody73]

Who else is doing the "Southwest Airlines watch" for November to show up in their booking window? . . .

Jackie, I'm also closely watching Southwest's schedule. The next window of dates should include our DD cruise. It's about time!

Kris, we are looking forward to cruising twice with you, as well.

I did check the local retailers for a pair of the athens (bought the choc. & light blue), but no one seems to carry the lime green/fushcia in stock (have to order those from Crocs). I have them wish-listed, but waiting patiently is not my style

Well, we started our day with some excitement today! At 5:30 am the firetrucks were rolling down our street. A home on my street about 8 homes down from me caught fire (started at the breaker box). Seems too many "grow lights" were plugged in. 1714 square foot house, and 90% of it was filled with MJ plants in various stages of growth. Police have been there all day, and they are still trying to track down to occupants of the home-no one was really "living there." We never saw cars come and go, so I guess the deals were not being made there, just the growth of the product.

Crazy way to start an already crazy day! We got through the 6th grade end of the year picnic, and everyone had a blast! Promotion ceremony is tomorrow morning, and then Jake leaves for Woodleaf (Young Life camp) on Sat. morning and will be gone for a week. Plus, an uncle I only see about every 6-8 years will be in town tomorrow and wants to come visit for a while. So... I sit here and type instead of cleaning my house!

Guess I really should be cleaning... hope everyone has a great weekend!

So, how many neighbors were watching and inhailing heavily while the house burned? Also, just curious - but did the change shifts at the fire house afterwards....or did the guys all go out and eat?

Took care of some DCL business today. Changed DCL transfers to only one way (PC to MCO), added request for APL rotation, applied a BIG chunk of change to the old Disney Visa.

On the to do list:

1. Reserve towncar from AKL to PC (Tiffany I think)
2. Purchase travel insurance (AAA or Travel ? from insuremytrip.com)
3. Purchase airfare when SW opens up dates (early July?) and give info to TA for Magical Express reservation.
4. Complete 'wish list' for DCL excursions (parasailing/spa/Palo)
5. Make final payment to DCL (prior to 8/13)
6. Make on line reservations 8/13
7. Purchase additional stateroom credits with Disney Visa $250ish (earn the rewards before I go!)
8. Fill out travel documents on line.

That about covers it Well, then there's the shopping and packing list.......

 

[JJsmama]

Trying to catch up on the thread.

Jackie, my sons sure would love glow in the dark green bracelets! (I'm not sure how they would look with my outfits, however. )

CArolyn, We'll definitely have to have the kids introduced in some way --mail or email - with photos and stuff as the cruise draws closer.

Ok, as I try and read all the threads, my butt is getting bigger and bigger and that is the opposite way it needs to go. SO, can someone please just tell me:
So far, is DCL doing anything special for the Special Westerns?

What a crazy day!!Good luck to Jake today. Vito jr is also doing camp next week , but not sleep away. It is actually Disney's conservation camp at AK. He is beyond excited about going. I have to say I am excited for him an wish I was going too!
Jackie
Great planning list. I still have to decide on travel insurance but it is so confusing which one to chose.
Have a great day we are going to see CARS today!!

Jennifer, t-shirts and tote bags available for sale ($14-15) on Castaway Cay (they were only out on the 2nd visit). "Twice the Magic" There are pictures on on of the trip threads....I'll come back and post a link for you.

....and the braclets will have glow in the dark lettering....on a neon green bracelet

Michelle, glad you got 'signed up' for AIM and will be able to join us in chat! I tried to send you an instant message when I saw you on line, but that three hour time difference sure is making it difficult to catch you!

 

[ibouncetoo]

Jennifer, here's the link to the t-shirt/tote picture.
