Ok I have to be honest here. None DIS related. I don't know how I am going to handle the next few days. My little girls if going off to school. I really thought I would have another year with her. I know it is what is best for her but I really feel like someone is ripping out my heart. If I can make it through the next 3 days without crying I will do good. I am taking my camera tonight in hopes that maybe taking pictures will help me from crying.

so we wanted Palos on either Tuesday or Thursday -couldnt get either. so we had a choice between Friday and Sunday. Booked Friday but then changed it to Sunday at 9pm. its late but thats OK for us.

We will see if we can get it moved to Tuesday when we get on board - but at least we have something booked - do not want to miss that dinner!!

YOu got Palos at 9 pm on Sunday? How many in your group? We wanted 9 pm very badly but all we could get at 90 days out was the 7 pm booking for 4. We are going to switch on the ship to later. We are also dining on Sunday, it is actually a great night because you leave port later and you are not all wiped out from excursions. Key West is our casual stop, at least for my family

If we get it changed we'll be there the same time as you

In case she wants to know...

The multi-vitamin I had been taking for Crohns and Colitis patients is called Forvia. But it's kind of pricey ($35 for a one-month supply)... so Jay looked up all the vitamins and minerals in the pills and found a liquid version that he ordered for me from a nutrional website that he uses.

It was $12 for a bottle of the stuff and it's called 1st step for Energy... 71 vitamins and minerals (citrus burst flavor). I only take 1/2 oz per day but my doctor told me it's a lot easier to absorb in liquid form so taking a smaller dose was fine.

Thanks B. I forwarded the info on to her.

We booked our excursions last night!!!

DH is scuba diving in Cozumel and Grand Cayman
Me and the girls are doing The Dolphin Discovery, and then we are doing the Nautilus Undersea Tour in Grand Cayman.
We are all going to the pirate museum in Key West, and then I would like to take the girls to a butterfly place in Key West also.
We are doing nothing at Castaway Cay, because there's nothing really appropriate for youngest DD. So we'll just sit on the beach and play in the ocean


I'm starting to get really excited about this cruise We were thinking about canceling it, because I just opened my own business in June, and I was nervous about closing the store for a week. But we decided to not cancel, and I'm glad we did because we really need this vacation!!!!



Well, DH is out of the shower, which means it's my turn.
Have a good day today everyone!!!

Sounds like fun Sandy. Glad you didn't cancel either. The more the merrier, I say.

Ok, I have a question..

I sent Disney the completed medical form for cruising via post and asked them to confirm they had received it by either email or post.

I have heard nothing and its been about 8 weeks

How do I check they have it?

It was the original with the doctors stamp and signature etc so not easy to get another. I think I photocopied it

I dont want to turn up at port and they not have had the form

Bearing in mind no-one understands me on the phone is there an email address I can use to check if they received it?

Thanks

Karen, I faxed ours over 6 weeks ago myself. I also heard nothing. I will, however, take copies along. I don't have the phone number but here is the fax number. 407/938-4295. Will a fax number help you? If not, scan your med forms, email them to me and I will print them out and fax them for you.

Well, as you can see from previous posts, still working on ressies, but:

SHOPPING! I've been losing weight for the past 1 1/2 years. I'm down 60 pounds and I have no shorts. So, I'm hitting the clearance racks this week!

Packing, ressies for parking near airport (found a lot near the airport for $3 less per day than the airport), and making the ultimate TO DO BEFORE I LEAVE list!

Jen

Fantastic job on the weight loss Jen!!

Robin here... lunch break at work


I see the rezzie buzz is in the air.

Hope everyone had an easy time of it. (That's a lot of pressure)

The kids ressies are finally done but it was nothing close to "easy" for us. It took me almost 4 hours to book one excursion for the kids. My PC didn't want to cooperate and my lovely dial-up decided to throw it's own little hissy fit last night. I ended up calling DCL this morning with my frozen PC and as soon as she put me through to a supervisor, it decided to make a fool out of me and behave. No sooner was he on the line, when the computer and internet decided the fun was over and it let me book. All I can say is that the Dune Buggy's better be worth it all.

Update: My payment finally posted this afternoon, and I was able to get my very important Pirate Encounter ressie! So happy!

Jen

What did your TA have to say about the situation?

Dh scott here, You do not want to compare AAA war stories with Carrie. We feel for you. Good Luck

We use AAA and never had a problem. We do have one fantastic TA though. Always willing to help and to look into things for us.

Thanks to everyone to for your and
Going for more testing tomorrow and then Dr visit right after, so
hopefully I'll get some answers/solutions tomorrow.

I'm so sick of feeling crappy and sick!


So anyway, you guys are great, thanks for offering to lend an ear or advice.



Rose

I'll keep you in my thoughts Rose. Hopefully you will only add to some other "good news" I got today from another KK.

We are on the Fury in Cozumel also, only worried about getting back for Pirate night. You would think they would schedule it earlier so that you are back by dinner time
Anyone else going on the Fury?
Judy

I'm not doing the Fury, but we are doing the San Gervaiso ruin tour which gets back at 6pm. I think that's weird to that it is noon-6. Why not make it earlier in the day so no one has a problem making it to dinner? We have early seating and I don't want the boys to miss anything about pirate night, sooooo DH and I are considering cancelling our DIS excursion and just hiring a cab and going out to the ruins ourself. This was we can go earlier in the day when it won't be quite as hot and we will make it back in plenty of time.

Is she starting kindergarten already? I am dreading Sept. 4th--the day my little buddy starts kindergarten. He told me he doesn't want to go because he doesn't want me to be lonely--how sweet is that?

Just for this cruise alone we have had 4 TA's through AAA

 

[Wine Diva]

Can I ask? Why is everyone so psyched for the Pirate Excursion? Is it something new or is it supposed to be really good? We didn't book it, but I am starting to feel left out. What's the big deal about it?

 

[cntkg1]

Does anyone else miss Missy like I miss Missy? Hey Missy, we miss you. Come back to us Ms Missy.

Awww, that is sweet!

Is this the little guy who "cleaned" your room last week Victoria?

We are doing the catamaran through here, I like that they have 3 different snorkeling stops.

http://www.grandcaymancruiseexcursions.com/

We are doing the Cayman jet boat excursion through here. It sounds fun, we get directives on how to drive our own fits all 4 of us then we speed off to Stingray City to be with the stingrays. After that we stop at a private beach for downtime. Last we speed back to the resort where we launched from and have free access to everything the resort has to offer including pool and beach.

Can't wait!!

 

[B9erSteve]

We got the 9:30 submarine for Grand Caymen.

I think we are on that one too.

 

[B9erSteve]

Fo?

That is very sweet. Yes she starts on Wednesday for full day. I know she will do well it will just be me that has to adjust.

Don't feel left out. We are not doing it either. I just don't get it.

 

[MinnMick01]

Back from meet the teacher. I went really well. No tears on anybodies part. Now just to get through Wednesday.

 

[B9erSteve]

You will. It's a big adjustment though. My son is getting ready to start 1st grade. Now that will be an adjustment. All day at school and me working 12hrs/day means that I will not see him near as much as I am used to.

I know I will. I feel bad for Scott. He has been the stay at home dad part of the week with her, he has gotten really attached. How many days to you get off in a row if you work 12s

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

Victoria I got it! Now I hope it worked when I sent it on, I too am not very computer literate and spent about 1/2 an hour trying to figure out how to send it too someone else.

Janice I sent Linda's chain letter on to you. I hope you got it!

Cheryl

Cheryl,

I think I sent Linda's letter on to you. Tag, you're it! I hope it worked--I'm not very computer literate.

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

Heather I'm still reading HP7. I have about 200 pages to read yet. The extra hours at work and the house projects we have going on are seiously cutting into my time to read. I am really enjoying it but just don't seem to get more than little snatches of time to read HP7 or DIS. If you start discussing just put a "spoiler alert" or something and I'll ignore those posts for now. I'll try and finish reading the book in the next few days!

Has everyone finished reading HP7 yet? Is it safe to start discussing the end?

Heather

Carrie glad all went well tonight. It is a hard adjustment to make sending your "baby" off to school. I hope all goes well for you Wed. also!

Cheryl

Back from meet the teacher. I went really well. No tears on anybodies part. Now just to get through Wednesday.
