Good morning everyone!!! Happy July 3rd.

 

[Becx N Gav]

Morning all! Hope everyone is still in bed having a nice day off

Have you done both? My kids are a little on the chicken-side, so I don't see parasailing as an option (I have told my daughter many, many times about how beautiful and relaxing parasailing can be- she doesn't buy it!).

Do you do excursions as a group or do you split up?

Welcome to the madness! You'll fit in just fine, everyone is so different but we all have Disney in common (which is such a refreshing change for me comppared to people at home)

I can't comment on the excursions from experience - there is a thread where people have commented on the good and bad points http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2214945

There was a group parasail - we watched it for a while from the ship before we had brunch. Looked like a lot of fun, not sure if I could get DH to go up.

Good morning guys!
I am up, but not sure for how long.
It was a late night, working on the taxes.
I think I an ready to call the account, just I more look through and hopefully then they will be gone.
However I am happy knowing that in 149 days I will be in WDW!

Good Morning Friends. I'm enjoying a non-rushed morning today.

Good Morning, from my desk at work. :yawn:
75% of the office took a vacation day today. DAP is more important than having today off.
I think I will use today to do some housecleaning. Re-clear off my desk. Wash the windows. Dance around to DIS Radio.




Congrats on the house, Nicole. If I were in your position, I would probably rent short term if there isn't a house that you fall in love with. Especially if there is the possibility of moving relatively soon.

Welcome back, Paul. I can assume that you kept things under control in Vegas, as there wasn't anything on the news.

 

[katscradle]

Mornin' all!

Nicole - how did Madi do? and good luck with the house stuff.

Kat - have a good drive (did you get the Santa Fe or something else?) and a good apointment

Nancy - good to see you here!

I woke up to hear on the morning news that my dinner last night was recalled - possible E coli. So far, so good.

I missed out on fireworks last night - at least seeing them - we figured it was soggy and not really worth it. We have some lovely neighbours who decided the middle of their street was a good place to light them off. Really people...NOT SAFE! I did mention to DH that I think our long stay at the Poly with the MK view seems to have spoiled me for watching local fireworks.

I confess to skipping chat so I could FINALLY sort through some pictures and post them to various places. I was running out of memory cards.

I am on vacation until next Thursday still...running errands today. DD wants to bake cookies.

have a great day all - and for those getting away for your long weekend - have a great one!

The appt. was good.
We are getting the Santa Fe, but will have to wait a bit for the colour we want.
Sorry about your dinner, hope all goes well with that for you.
We had the same thing happen here the drunks across the street decide the sidewalk and road were a good place to light off fireworks. Some people
Have fun with the rest of your vacation time, and good luck with the cookies.

Hello Everyone!

I have been a bit of a lurker on the boards since early 2008 when I began planning a dream trip to WDW for my Daughter's birthday. I have made the decision to surprise my family with the podcast cruise 2.0.

Now comes the hard part- I don't want to be a lurker any more. However, I have always been a little shy about making new friends. So here goes... My best friends are all unique, creative, and sarcastic (hmmmm.... wonder why I love the Dis so much). I am looking for people who share my love for WDW and have a warped sense of humor (like mine). Other pertinent info about me: Married, 2 kids (DD 9 and DS 5), I work in a psych hospital determining if patients meet criteria for inpatient treatment (I did warn you that my sense of humor is warped, right?). I am an Alice in Wonderland FREEEEEAK and I have made a hobby out of planning trips to WDW.

I hope that I can get to know my fellow cruisers better so that I can go on my first cruise with friends AND my family.

-Kelly

Welcome!!

I see by the info you gave that you will fit in just perfect around here.

Morning Dave, same here. Watching some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and thinking about mowing the lawn.

Good evening all! Stressful day here. We sold our house. It took two weeks. That's a great thing. However, we didn't think it would sell that quick, and we have no place to go, except Don's basement I think we have decided to rent until we know for sure what we want to do when we grown up. We looked at a house today that made me want to throw up. We looked at a townhouse also, and it's not too bad. Nice, but small. Like if I fell out of bed I could eat Cheerios

Congrats on selling your house.
Hopefully you will find your dream home now!

Good Morning Everyone! Happy 3rd of July! I am just back from my morning walk, now off to enjoy my day off from work.

 

[Renysmom]

Greetings all... Brian and Kailynn are still visiting so I am sure we will be off doing something fun and crazy. We have so much fun when they come down. I got to beat them in Wii Bowling last night, it was great

Have a great Friday

Welcome Kelly!
Jump right in and join the fun! Don't be afraid to ask questions, as some one here will know the answer to your question or where to refer you to get your answer.

 

[katscradle]

Nicole I would say rent until you find out about the job situation.

Todd considering you are one of the few that is not getting a long weekend, I say enjoy your day!

Taxes, we got behind a couple of years ago when John's father passed away.
His taxes, multiple years and estate.
Which put us behind not by much only one year.
However since we are both self employed the paperwork is a nightmare.
However we have come up with a new filing system which should help us get a handle on this for future.
The funny part about this is that the government is probably going to owe us.
Not much but that fine as long as we don't have to pay them.

Thank you, I shall try.

And it's nice when you get money back. Not a win fall, because then you gave them way too much in the first place. But a nice check is ALWAYS better than writing one to them.

Thanks Todd. Yes, Vegas is still standing.

Mornin' fellas! Any big plans for today?

Some strange guy from Indy will be here today, so I have to show him a good time. Need to mow and clean up so I can impress him. Guess I'll have to shower or something too....seems like I just did that last week.

If we do get lucky and get some money back I will be forwarding all proceeds to DU for our trips.
Watch my refund amout will be something stupid like 3 dollars.
