Hello all!!! Randy here...

I just read an article (kinda old news) but I thought it was interesting...

Port Canaveral allowed Disney Cruise Line to avoid a payment of about $400,000 during negotiations on a long-term contract that were completed last month.

Disney was facing the six-figure penalty because its cruise ships were not going to make enough calls at the Brevard County port this year.

Stan Payne, the port's chief executive officer, called it a small concession in exchange for securing a new contract that ensures Disney ships will continue sailing out of Brevard for the next 15 years. Disney's original deal with Canaveral would have expired this summer.

With the contract signed, Canaveral is scrambling to get started on more than $30 million in construction upgrades needed to handle two new ships Disney is having built in Germany. Each will be three decks taller and carry about 1,300 more passengers than Disney's existing ships, and the company has committed to basing the new liners in Brevard until at least the end of 2014.

The first new ship could arrive as early as February 2011, according to notes from a meeting of port officials and Disney executives, with the second vessel to follow in early 2012. But Disney Cruise Line spokeswoman Christi Erwin Donnan said it is too early to set specific arrival months because the ships are still being designed and construction has yet to begin.

"It's really too premature to nail down an exact delivery date," Donnan said.

Payne said Disney's "shortage payment" this time around would have been about $400,000. But he said both sides ultimately agreed that they did not want to begin a new long-term deal with a penalty already built into the first year.

"It made no sense to Disney, nor did it to me," he said.

Beyond the payment and the required number of port calls, much of the back and forth during negotiations focused on what terminal improvements were needed for Disney's new mega-liners -- and who would pay for them.

The two sides ultimately agreed that the port would borrow money to finance $22 million in expansions and upgrades. But Disney will guarantee annual payments of $2.4 million -- raised through a $7 round-trip charge to passengers -- to cover the debt.

A terminal budget includes everything from $10,000 to carve out a 40-square-foot "character changing area" to $2 million to ensure a "wow factor."

Canaveral will separately spend as much as $10 million to build a 1,000-space parking garage for Disney guests. It will be connected to the expanded terminal by an elevated walkway.

Payne said he expects the port to sell bonds or obtain a loan to pay for the construction by summer. The work must be completed by Oct. 1, 2010.

Michele, you know you are a poetic genius!!! You should work for Hallmark!

Our router is acting up tonight, I actually found someone elses open network, and I've been surfing off of it. It works like a charm, I have no idea what's wrong with ours.

My Dad used to work for American Greetings! But he was a pressman. He printed the greeting cards, didn't make up the phrases.

What do you use for site? I used to use salt and pepper dot com but it stopped working. Recepies.com is pretty good. Also use better home and gardens but seems to take forever to find anything.

I like AllRecipes.com and Cooks.com usually comes up with a good one too. But All Recipes is usually my first go to, then I Google.

YAY my shirts are all done And they turned out!! Just a little fading because I took the one off of Chris's too quick but nothing bad and not even nociable...but much improvement from what I normally do It helps that I got a REALLY hot iron and new transfer paper from on ebay...so maybe both together made it work for me

I have to find some really cute yet comfy dress shoes for a 3 year old....any suggestions??? Chris is really picky about his shoes If they dont fit him just right then he will take them off and say that they are too small or hurt his feet so he wont wear them

Congrats on getting the iron ons done!

Get Chris a pair of black tennis shoes. They won't be fancy, like dress shoes, but if they are plain, then they'll be fine! that's what I usually get the boys and what Steve wears to work.

Good monring everyone! Boy can you guys talk. One evening away, and it takes an hour to catch up reading straight through. You guys will have no problem making it to 15 threads. Like someone said, the closer it gets, and more excited everyone gets, the more everyone will chat. We will be leaving on the 7th, but we are taking the laptop to down load photos each night. We will keep checking in right up to that Fri night. I bet everyone else here does to. Is there a limit on the # of threads they will let you start?

 

[gssmks]

I am off to church. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
