also, a few pages back, someone mentioned the weather should be mild temps.....not hot...def not cold

 

[Orlanr]

ahhhh - you're the best!!! but do you mean YOUR car...Chel's sports car???? or the COP CAR??? oh...maybe you meant the rental car..

WELCOME Joy, Mark AND Shadow this is a great group.....some of us know each other already...some we're waiting (patiently) to meet....a cruise without the kids....OMG - mine would KILL me...but he LOVES this ship & this cruise/trip to WDW is his almost 18 BD gift...

If you want to eat in my cop car, you have to eat in the back seat.

I know this may sound kinda stupid, has anybody called DCL and asked what was going on, and on what night?

 

[Marla Hellwig]

welcome welcome welcome

I have been threatening to leave my kid at home - sure glad school is starting soon

 

[CADZNYCHC]

Hi Anjelica!!! how's the headaches??? GONE i hope!!! And sydney? Liking school? ds starts tomorrow....i guess when you;re a senior the 1st day is just one closer to graduation....

Rus....Kelly (who can book at 105 days out) is going to MAKE them give her all the nightly details to see what night we're doing what, but someone did confirm that Wed 12/31 NYE would ALSO be Formal Night...so trying to find out if DCL has assigned Pirate night etc....

Michelle took the photo when she was in Paris last month, I did the enhancement. Chel and I like to eat off property, we like going to Emeril's two restaurants. But you know me, I'll eat anywhere, even in your car.

Yes - headaches gone for now. Lets see, Sean graduates high school in 2025 so I suspect the headaches will come and go till then....

Sydney is doing very well in school. She's really taken to it - I think all those years in daycare and preschool/pre-K helped her quite a bit. I figured by now she would be complaining about something but nada yet.

I bet she is excited (your DS) about being a Senior. If its anything like back when I was in HS the last semester is such a breeze because by then our colleges had already accepted us - as long as we didn't totally bomb we were good. I hope she really enjoys it.

I will be booking at 105 days out along with kelly - hopefully we will know before the 105 booking day window what night is what. I would hate to have to move stuff around after the fact.

Well I am off to put Sydney to bed and then veg out in front of the tv for an hour. I will catch up with you guys later - have a good night!!!

I hope she really enjoys it. "he will" i'm sure...i think he has a few classes with his DGF Julia & they aren't too apart very often these days...so i think anytime with her is good time

I would hate to have to move stuff around after the fact. well you would think they KNOW the schedule...but maybe it's not in print yet...??? so is changeableWell I am off to put Sydney to bed and then veg out in front of the tv for an hour.

OOOh a cop and a prison guard on our cruise! That'll make for some interesting conversation!

that's what i was afraid of....& can honestly say i've NEVER been in a cop car....esp the back seat

I have, in the back, but I wasn't being arrested!

I know this may sound kinda stupid, has anybody called DCL and asked what was going on, and on what night?

Rus, this has to be the best question I've read here in a long time. My personal answer is "duh", which means no I haven't called, and I should, instead of just speculating!


Mark, Joy, and Shadow, a big WELCOME to you! I've never seen a service dog before...but I know they are amazing!
I hope you jump right on in and post post post!

We have a reservation at Emeril's at City Walk, Great Food and Service.

Here is a picture of the print we received in our room on NYE, 2004

Here are the mattes we had autographed and put the 6x8 pictures in. The frame was 8 x 10, I had them cut the matte so it would fit the picture, and then took the matte to guest services to have them signed.

and the other DD

Hi Mark and Joy.. and Shadow.. LOVED his pics in his Mickey Ears!!!! Did you guys want to take part in the Fish Extender group?? If so let us know, we can have Anjelica put you on the web page.

Rus, I plan on calling on the Monday prior to my being able to book on saturday. I am going to ask what the rotations are.. what the deal is w/the move on pirate night.. and what menus will be served on what nights. I am sure this is NOT an unreasonable request!!! I am a planner!! No worries. Once I have all this info.. I will post it on here. Perhaps after that, Anjelica can post it on the web page, in case the question comes up again, vs having to go back through pages and pages of posts (And pages.. lol... we are a chatty group)..

Brenda, only the adults are allowed to eat in my new car.. as we are oober careful... the skids are allowed water (it doesnt stain) as they are clumsy w/food and drinks. Luckily, the trip is just DH and I.. so we can have a bite in the car. I dont think that we can bring animal products (such as shaved ham sandwiches on the light pepperidge farm bread w/mustard) into canada. I think as long as the item is sealed in a bag.. Pretzels and the like, from the manufacturer, they allow it. We are also bringing Granola bars (found a good 3 ptr for the 2 bars in the package.. because really, who is going to eat 1 and put the other bacK?!?!?) Also, I plan on not exercising until I start to Plateua.. so that I can totally keep the weightloss going. I do like your idea to building up slowly, since I am not an eager exerciser!!

Anyway.. Who stayed up to watch Shawn Johnson win the gold??? I was on the edge of my chair the whole time!!!

 

[Anjelica]

enjoy....i'm off to bed myself shortly..

DOH!!! - I can't believe I called your son a girl. Sorry - I was looking at Marla's daughters pictures right above your post as I was typing so I had a brain freeze. Sorry....
