Roll Call - April 3, 2004 Eastern Magic!

[sillysmom]

Matthewsmon, saying a prayer out here for you all as well.
Hey Steph, I'm crossin my fingers for you. I called my TA about the documents as well, she says probably two weeks before but she'll call me if she gets them sooner. Also the boat is TOTALLY booked for our cruise, so hopefully that will increase your chance of an upgrade. But if it doesn't happen, EVERYONE can come and visit MINE.

sillysmom - too funny! I love your smileys!

Everyone got your alien green stickers?

 

[sillysmom]

I'm going to get my stickers next weekend. We're goin on a cruise shopping spree. Just gotta get all the little incidentals. I think it will be fun to all go together. All the big stuff is done. I don't know about you guys, but I am starting to have dreams about the cruise, pretty darn scary. I dreamt we missed the boat, can't remember anything else from the dream, but it will probably come to me. I cannot believe how much I'm thinking about this vacation. It is almost every spare minute. I just want everything to be perfect. I want to meet you guys, but most of all I WANT TO GO ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Matthewsmom]

Hi all,
Matthews hospital visit needs an additional set of tests. OHHHHH. Please pray that we can go!! I have insurance on everything so I will hold out until the very last minute. You were right. CHOP is so wonderful!!
Has anyone else gotten their docs? Each day I wait, each day-nothing
Additionally, got my credit card receipt and my TA made an "error". Opps she said, I'll have to issue a ship credit. This makes me mad. But, I'll sprinkle some pixie dust and make her go away

 

[Trekker]

Matthewsmom - we are praying for you and your family - I hope all works out well.

dcbrown - I know whatyou mean, my DW said that Josh and Kaitie were spending a bit of time on aim "talking"

WooHoo! Our documents arrived today!

Hey dcbrown

Now if Captain Jack Sparrow was there w/his stash of rum....what a vacation it would be!!!

Didn't we tell you? We found the stash last Easter near the Turk Islands. We're bringing it with us on our cruise. You need to stay on board and go on our cruise.

 

[Matthewsmom]

Hi all!!
Trekker, thanks for the good wishes. Also
Congrats!!! on getting the docs!! Mine can't be far away!! I got my birthcertificates yesterday, does this count.... I had to get new ones as I was afraid of taking the only originial copies I had. Am I nuts, or what.
Matthew goes back to CHOP on Tuesday. Fingers crossed, pixie dust needed!!!

 

[dcbrown]

Hans....I so wish I could stay on....thought it was going to be great to repeat w/new found dis friends....Oh well everything happens for a reason ....who knows what this new adventure will bring....so I promise.......I will leave some "RUM" for you!!!

Hello everyone!
I am sooooo excited it won't be long now. I am leaving my and my hubby's clothes until last. the spring/summer clothes are just starting to come out. I got my DD all her shoes at walmart for 3$ a pair and they were last years summer stuff. I need some water shoes, and some shorts, hubby needs some dockers. Not going to get to fancy on the dress up nights because we probably will never wear them again. (Not much high class shindigs going on here) Oh, Well. I UPSed info to get my DH's Birth Certificate. 40$ round trip But it will get here within the week, I will get mine next week since I was born in Washington.
I need to get the Alien Green Stickers and some bubbles and glow sticks, and some other odds and ends.
I REALLY WANT TO KNOW MY ROOM # LOL
Well I can't wait to see all of you. It won't be long now
check in with you all later, Bye

Hey Monchichi (Steph), I'm on the last minute shopping spree also. You can absolutely get your room number now. If you booked through disney call them they will tell you. If not call you're travel agent, they will call with you on hold and get you the number. A note to everyone else, we will be able to find out our flight arrangements (even without documents) on the 30th day out which will be Thursday the 4TH. My travel agent is gonna get it and call me back with it, so if you wait until Thursday, you can get both the cabin, and the flight information as well. I'm dying to know myself, and I'm also getting a limo to the airport and I have to give them the time, I certainly can't wait until I get my documents, it is Spring break and a very busy week for those guys. Steph, Gina is dying to talk to Taylor, so if she is interested, PM me and I will get your number and give you ours, I have free long distance on my cell on Sat. and Sundays, so we could call and it wouldn't cost a thing. Don't know why the email didn't get through, but Gina just asked me last nite and she is disappointed they didn't get to chat yet. She's already telling everyone that she ALREADY knows someone on the boat! You know I spoke to someone the other day who went on the cruise 2 years ago. He told me that Gina will not wanna be away from the clubs. I'm kinda hoping that is not the case, I originally thought she wouldn't want to hang all day and would just go after dinner for a little bit, but from what I'm hearing, I'm starting to think we're never gonna see her. I hope it is a happy medium and not too much either way. THE DAYS ARE GOING SO SLOW AREN'T THEY?

[Monchichi]

Days are going by really slow.
Yes, I will do better then that Sillysmom, I will send a pic of Taylor for Gina and yes they can chat up a storm this weekend. Saturday, Works best for us, my son has soccer tryout in the morning so we will be up early. You are on east coast right? so I add 3 hours, anytime after 11:30 my time I will be able to have her talk. I will PM you with the #, I think I have statewide LD because they said I could call Cali. We have our flights we are on a red eye leaving here around 11pm and getting there around 9 or 10 in the morning. we are going to be dead tired but maybe we will get a second wind ..LOL I will send that pic soon, Talk to you all later.

Hey dcbrown

Check you PM"s. The DIS Admin's turn off the email notification during maintainance.

 

[Matthewsmom]

Oh, do I want my documents!! I read each night and I'm jealous!!! I guess they will get here soon. Reading your posts gets me so excited. I'm waiting until after Matthews hospital visit to shop. Don't want to jinx ourselves!!! I'm praying we can still go. Matthew and I both need it!!!
Maybe tomorrow will be the doc. day dance??

 

[Monchichi]

Hey, I called today and we are in room 6041 Yea!
Matthewsmom, try calling Disney they are open til 10 pm Eastern time, See you all soon

 

[kpgclark]

I don't know why I am torturing myself by reading this thread, except that I'm so mad at myself for cancelling when there are zip, zero, zilch cabins left!!!!!!!

 

[Matthewsmom]

KPGCLARK- I was on the ds site last night and they show available cabins for the cruise!!! More than a week ago!! Check it out!! Then of course, (PRAYING HARD) that we might not be able to go. That would open up a cabin. I guess it's really up in the air!!

 

[kpgclark]

Really????? I'll go check!!

 

[UMTerp]

Can you believe that it is less than a month?

I can't wait! I think I'm more ready than my kids at this point!

Matthewsmom - Hope everything goes well! Hope you get your docs soon too!

kpgclark - I would probably do the same thing (continue to read this thread)! Good luck on trying to find something if your family still wants to go!

 

[sillysmom]

OH MAN! Just got a fax from my TA with our travel arrangements. I'm pretty sure I'm rebooking for next year on board, but I AM NOT taking the DCL air. My flight leaves at 6:45 NY time so that means the limo has to pick us up at 3:30 to get us there 2 hours before the flight. THEN we have a one hour layover in Pittsburgh and get to Orlando at 11:35. I understand that it is about an hour ride to port, so we will be there in plenty of time and probably feel unrushed, BUT REAL REAL TIRED. Our flight home leaves at 11:35 a.m., so I'm figuring we have to be off the boat by like 8:30? Then we have ANOTHER layover in Atlanta for an hour and a half and we will get to the airport in NY at 4:43 p.m. which means we will be home sometime around 7:00-7:30. Way too much work for a 3 hour ride. Next time I'm going the night before and getting my own air. I'm not going to get any sleep from Friday until Saturday night. I get home from work at 6:00, gotta finish packing and I CAN NEVER sleep well before a trip, and I would have to get up like 1:30 a.m. to get myself ready before waking up the DH and DD. Oh well, I'll live, hopefully I'll get my second wind lol

 

[Monchichi]

I waited too long, I am so sad. Does anyone know how to get to swim w/ the dolphins w/o booking through the ship? Or better yet, anyone know of a child who now doesn't want to go, and I could send mine instead and do the "just looking tour" instead? It's worth a try. I will keep calling the ship and do all I can but I think I ruined it for my little one. oh well, if anyone has any ideas.

Sillysmom, sorry I went to Taylor's school and left the internet on.

Matthewsmom, how are things? Better I hope

dcbrown, How about a RUM party!? LOL
Talk to you all later
