Heidi......Car rentals are way cheaper then any other transportation. I had a limo booked and then a van to split between my fam and my SIL fam but it still was a 100 just for one way for the limo. I got car rental for 40 one way and 50 back. Can't beat that! I like Budget just as Andrea said. I have used them in the past and didnt have any problems.

I hope everyone has a good weekend. My SIL and family are coming today and we are gonna go over the exact magnets for the doors and the screen for our boarding shirts. I had an idea well at least I will use it for the girls but DH didnt want his name on his shirt so going with a different design for us adults. well I am off to make cupcakes and banana cream pie. It was my SIl bday last weekend and my DH's on thurs so we are celebrating this weekend. It's 55 today woohoo we are grilling out.....I am so excited, haven't done that since October/beginning of November.

Oh Terri....U had been asking people who their kids fav character was..was that something for FE... if so I don't know if you noticed that my SIL has joined the FE. Thanks

TGIF, TGIF It's beautiful here today, IT'S 82 OUT!!! But, it's St. Louis so we'll probably have several inches of snow by Sunday. This time of year the nice weather doesn't stick around long, but it sure is nice when it's here.

I'm so happy, I just closed out a pretty big Pampered Chef show so there'll be a nice commission on it to apply to our cruise.

Have a nice Friday night!!!

Well, I just thought I would post before things get too hectic. Ashley started her soccer tournement in Sacramento today. They won the first game of the tournie...1-0 They have 3 games tomorrow, we have to leave the house a little before 6am (with Riley and Bailey in tow) and then if they make it to the play off level we wont be home until after 7pm. Then I teach Sunday school Sunday morning (after loosing an hour of sleep) and I have to pack and clean the house Sunday...then we leave for DL early Monday morning, which also happens to be Ashleys birthday. I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to post before we get back, so I wanted tell everyone to have a good weekend/week.
When we get back from this trip I'm going to be starting on FE gifts, don't as what I'll be doing, but I'll be starting on it.
Talk to you all soon!
Andrea

Michelle - I did notice they joined and I've been meaning to ask you to get that info from them. I don't think they are on line are they? If you don't mind doing my leg work for me I'd appreciate it. I need to look at that list you sent me and figure out who else I'm missing...and then figure out what I'm going to do with all the this info.

HS Musical on Ice was alot of fun last night. The girls went crazy when Corbin Bleu came out after the show and sang 3 songs. He's actually pretty good. Well I'm off to sell cookies in front of the grocery store.

Have a good weekend all.

Hi All! Sorry it's been awhile since I checked in (officially). Things are busy but, like everyone else, what else is new. THis week is crazy. Last night we had a water softener company over. Tonight the adoption agency comes for our final (required) post-placement visit, then tomorrow we are speaking at a class of young ladies in our church about our trip to Vietnam, then THursday I thought the flooring guy was coming but some other guy is coming to try to sell us something that we really dont want, then Friday we have 22 people coming to the house for a party. Saturday we have no plans except for possibly going to PetsMart and getting Lilli a hamster. Only time will tell. Needless to say, things are busy. I'm heading outta work now to go get Lil so I can get home and give her something to eat and have dinner waiting for Katelin. Once the adoption visit is over we're heading to grab a quick bite ourselves and then it's off to Verizon Wireless to get new cell phones. I do believe we're getting Blackberry Storms. I'm kinda excited about that.

I haven't forgotten to post the pic of my FE. I'll try to get to that sometime this week or over the weekend. I know what I wanna do for my FE gifts now. Now I have to decide how best to do them.

Take care all and if I don't touch base with everyone, have a great week! Kristi

 

[heatherb819]

That's a great price for airfare!! $122 rt We're letting Disney handle ours, that way they are responsible for getting us there on time and home. I'm not brave enough to take a chance and miss the boat or be late coming back and miss our flight and have to have the hassle of finding a flight last minute and pay the extra.

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

I have travel insurance so if anything happens I will be covered...and I fly out early so there are no issues with air....Disney would have charged me $1200 for the 4 of us and I got it for less then $500.!!! That's $700 towards my cruise. I can't throw it to Disney...LOL I am a bargain shopper, I almost let the $122 pass me buy for a better deal. I got 8 of us on the plane for $858 Wow! I am just so excited to go even more now. And I called DCL and found out the new address to ship my box of FE's or anything I can ship ahead. I am not sure I can ship my FE cause something for the kids is candy and I think it says no food...gotta check that!

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Dear Michelle,
As part of the Disney Cruise Line® family, we want you to be among the first to know that our two new ships now have names—Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. Bob Iger, Walt Disney Company President and CEO, announced the official names today at the Disney shareholder meeting in Oakland, California.

Like Disney Magic® and Disney Wonder® before them, the names of the two newest ships in our fleet were chosen with care to celebrate Disney's unique heritage-creating incredible worlds of fantasy where dreams really do come true. Disney Dream is scheduled to launch in 2011, with Disney Fantasy following soon after in 2012.

SEE THE CUTTING EDGE.
Disney Imagineers and ship builders have been working full-steam ahead since we first announced our two new vessels in 2007. On March 2, 2009, construction on both began at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany with a special steel cutting ceremony. The very first cuts created Disney's signature, art deco-inspired scrollwork that will grace the bows of both new ships.

MORE EXCITEMENT IS BUILDING.
More magic is happening every day, as our new ships get closer to completion and new wonders arrive on the horizon. For the latest news, design details, new itineraries, updates and more special magic created just for Castaway Club members, be sure to visit disneycruise.com/CastawayClub often or call 1-800-449-3380.

Hope to sail with you again soon!

Your friends at Disney Cruise Line

This was sent to me in my email and I am sure u castaway club members received it!

 

[MinFan55]

Michelle - Thanks for the info on the two new ships. Being that this is my first Disney cruise I wouldn't have gotten this information so I appreciate you passing it on.

I've been dealing with a big mess in my house the last couple of days. Sunday night (actually Monday morning around 12:30AM) I awoke to water gushing out of my upstairs bathroom. The hose from the wall to the toilet had snapped and broke and we had a flooded bathroom, water in the hallway, in 2 bedrooms upstairs, coming through the fixtures in the downstairs hallway and a flooded hallway and bathroom downstairs, seeping into the den. We had gone to bed around 10:00 so it could have been going on for up to 2 hours before we heard it. So now we have fans and de-humidifiers all over the house...they are trying to salvage the carpet...I wish they would just replace it but whatever. Once everything is dried up the insurance company will send a contractor to estimate the damage and start the repairs...YUK - what a mess. Oh yeah the worst part ---our deductible is $2000. When Amaya heard that she said "we're not going on the cruise now are we?" I told her we would try and figure out how to still do the cruise so keep us in your prayers so we can still go. I will die if we have to cancel after all this planning and anticipation.

Have a good week everyone

Terri

 

[kpflillirpf]

Terri, I am so sorry to hear about your flood! I will most certainly be praying for your family that everything works out just the way it should and that you can still do the cruise. Good luck!

Kristi

 

[the great cornholeo]

Terri,
I hope that everything works out.


Michelle, where did you get your flights from?
