PART THREE! *December 2012 Roll Call* Holidays, FLE & MVMCP!! A very, merry thread!

[Valgoof]

So I just called DVC about buying a PAP (hahaha now I am going to laugh everytime I type that out) and decided to wait - sounds like it will be easier to do at Guest Relations when we get our TiW card....

However.... Category 2 tickets to La Nouba - 2 for $106.... Sooooo tempting!

LOL

Maybe while you are there you could convince him It's a lot easier to do sometimes...

Yes, I am hoping for a great trip and some pixie dust to make him want to go back. We were talking about it last night. He says he likes Disney, he just doesnt "every year" like it. Really I am surprised he agreed to go this year since we went last year. I dont remember how I talked him into that.

How do you share a google document or how do you get your google document on your iPhone? I'd love to put my google calendar document (it's really more of a spreadsheet) on my iPhone!

If you put a document in your Google docs account, there is a google docs app for your iPhone.

We use DropBox for sharing docs with each other though and DropBox has an iPhone and a Droid app.

If you want help with this PM me and I'll walk you through it. I'm a tech support specialist, so making things work is what I do..

Hello all! I hope everyone else who is in the path of Sandy is staying safe! It is pretty windy now and raining harder, but the worst isn't expected here until 5-6pm, and will last about 12 hours. Winds of 60 mph, gusts up to 110 mph possible, and extremely heavy, flash-flood causing, rains. I'm safe and sound inside now, and don't have any reason to leave until Wednesday!

I'm even heavy one extra cat. Actually, a 4 week old kitten! A woman found him in a box in her apartment complex late last night, and no one knew where he came from. She can't keep him (absolutely no pets of any type allowed there) so she took him to the local vet this morning to ask if they knew where she could take him. They happen to be my vet and know I foster, so they called. Picked him up around 10:30am and decided his name is Hurricane! He is sweet as can be, not afraid of the dog or other cats, though he is being kept separated from them for now since he is itty bitty (fits in my hand) and needs kitten food only. Here is a pic of him!

He has a slight limp in his front right leg that the vet thinks is just a minor pulled muscle, but otherwise seems completely healthy. And he is eating great already. So glad he was found and is not out in this horrible weather!

Stay safe everyone on the East Coast, and everyone else, happy Monday to you!

Makes me wish I weren't allergic to kitties! So cute. He's so lucky to have you!

Well based on your planning and all the work - you are almost guaranteed that!! I also put it like this, I like hiking and the outdoors but I don't want to do it all the time, and I do it A LOT with my husband because he loves it - so it's our way of working out a mutual appreciation of both of our interests

Thank you for this info! I will do this as soon as we get home!

Yay!

I got a BLT postcard from DVC today- I really want to go there now!

YIPPEE!!!

Just booked a 3 day trip to WDW for me and my girlfriend - we're going to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party on December 2!

Staying at Pop Century!

This is my 4th trip to Walt Disney World this year! I'm as excited as ever!

WOO HOO!!!!!!!

Mike.

Woohoo! Welcome to shoppers anonymous......oops, I mean "the December WDW thread"

 

[ksromack]

Wohoo! ME stuff came! LOL DH e-mailed me to ask if it is OK that he opens it.

That's so funny! Dh did the same thing when our MVMCP tickets arrived. He was off work that day

My husband is the same way. Last year was our first trip and he wasn't really excited about it but once we got there, he had a good time. And, the girls and I had so much fun that I was ready to return before the plane ever landed at LIT. DH kept saying we were not going back this year - that we could wait a couple of years. I guess I wore him down though when I pitched "that is so much cheaper this year because we can get free dining and stay at a less expensive resort." Plus, the girls have been saying for months that they were going to ask Santa for a trip to Disney. Poor DH - he is so outnumbered! Of course, he now swears that this is the last trip for at least a couple of years!

Kathy--I think you have set a record for most posts in one day. I laugh every time I click on the thread and your name is there with the last post. How far from home are you now??

[M&MGirl1]

Correct! Just make sure you are awake for the drive home to KC!

Oh, we'll probably crash at Dad's condo for a few hours after our flight gets back to STL so I can sleep a bit before driving all the way across the state. I loathe flying, so the odds of me being able to sleep on the flight back are slim, and I do not take chances with possibly falling asleep behind the wheel!

I saw this link via one of the Disney blogs I read, and thought it was super cool. It's a map of Disney transportation, done in the style of a subway map.

I found it really interesting...hopefully someone else does, too.

He never had a chance.
No kids to help me convince my DH. But my BIL wants to ditch his family and go with us. He had a terrible trip this year with his family of non-commando, sleep until noon people. I told him to tell DH he wants to go in 2014, so I can try for every other year.

His eyes are adorable, though they are only that color still because he is so young. Just like human babies, kittens eyes will change color around 6 weeks. Don't know what color they will be yet.

I'll be getting my Mickey Mail late, since I booked thru a TA. She is mailing it to me 2 weeks before I leave.

Makes me wish I weren't allergic to kitties! So cute. He's so lucky to have you!

Thanks! I'm so glad I'm not allergic to animals, I'd be miserable. Actually, I am very slightly allergic to horse dander, but I can be around them without it bugging me unless they are shedding and being brushed around me.

DH made it home safely. Thank you for the prayers and pixie dust

Yay! Enjoy celebrating his birthday! Good luck riding out the storm

DH mentioned this weekend that we should pay attention to the temps in November, to make sure it is cool enough to go the week before Thanksgiving. I told him what a deal it would be if we get a bounce back in the room and upgrade our tickets to APs. I mean, practically free!! But no, he still doesn't want to go until 2015 or 2016.

And I forgot to tell you I had a Disney dream!!!! We were getting on TSMM and for some reason we were told we got to ride twice in a row without getting off. So the ride starts and it is completely different. These holography things are flying in your face and they are all scary monsters and ghosts and stuff. But really scary, not Disney scary. I am freaking out and screaming and upset because we have to ride it twice.

Wow on the dream! I think that means you really want to go back next Christmas and NOT for the Halloween party? So my dh feels the same way and thinks we won't go back for a couple years as well.

I know and I swear I read that if you we're a Cirque de Sol club member, you could get two tix for $50 each (category 2). I'm still on the fence. I planned on going but it sure would free up that evening, not to mention alleviate some stress over getting back to Narcoossee for a 9pm ADR afterwards........
