*Sept 10th 2011 WB Transatlantic* From Spain to Space Mountain - Part 3

[PFlamingo]

Wow, today has been a long day!!! However I have some news to share. Lee had a second interview today for a job that he really wanted, I didn't mention it before as I didn't want to jinx it but.......he got it!!!!! It is such a relief for us!


We are just heading off to the vets now with Stamy, hoping & praying that this will be good news too!

Congrats to Lee! That's great news!

Hoping for good puppy news, too!

 

[Chris&Jeremy]

Happy to say just made our final payment today! now comes the long wait.

104 days until we leave for Barcelona - too long if you ask me!

We can't wait to meet you guys in person finally!

 

[Pinky166]

Excellent news for Lee, well done to him. I hope your news at the vet's is good too!!

Keeping everything crossed for Stamy

Well done Lee

Good for him. Congratulations. Good luck to the puppy dog. Nothing bad should ever happen to them.

Congrats to Lee! That's great news!

Hoping for good puppy news, too!

Thank you all for the messages, I will pass them on to Lee.


Well rather frustratingly the vet has not had the full lab results through so they have no further information than what we already know. So it's now a waiting game, if we haven't heard by Thursday then we have to call to chase it up. On the plus side Stamy was a very good boy & just sat there whilst they pulled all his stitches out, even though some of them pulled some scabs off too!

Many thanks to you all for your well wishes today, I will post an update as soon as we get the results.

Arrrggghhh!! How frustrating!! Well, at least they're not trying to guess what's going on - better to get all the facts.

Good boy to Stamy!! Extra treats for him tonight for being so patient through that!!




And while I think about it,

****FE REQUEST for those of you who have already signed up:

Pinky166 (Claire) has requested that everyone participating in the FE Exchange provide their surnames to her so that she can customize her gifts. Thanks!

We don't have a stateroom assigned yet, but we are 100% paid and it sounds like my in-laws are going to be joining us.

One month before I can do the on-line checkin. I am starting to get excited.

Welcome aboard!! We are Noel and John and this will be our 5th cruise on DCL. Our last cruise was the 2010 WBTA so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask or PM me. Once you get up to 10 posts you PM people with your requests. All the other information you need is below so you will need contact organizers of the events to sign up.

My DH John and I have created a website for you view other cruisers and sign in with your information. If you want to add your picture, you can send it to us at nbirkner@yahoo.com

WBTA Website

02. If people are interested in being in the same area as other DIS'ers to send Dan (Cliffy97) a PM with Lead Passenger name, your booking number and if you are Early or Late seating. Dan was told by Disney today that this is all they need to put folks together. .

03. If you are interested in the Candy Swap, please PM Jacqueline (goofieslonglostsis).

04. If you are interested in Secret Mickey Exchange, please PM Karen (karentan).

05. If you are interest in getting a WBTA lanyard, please PM Noel (birkner). See this lanyard link for example of the previous 2010 WBTA lanyard.

Hopefully, a group of DISers will volunteer to underwrite the lanyards as they did last year so they will be free to the rest of the DISers. We already have several people offering to be part of the lanyard underwriting group. If you wish to join, please send Noel (Birkner) a PM. If we get enough members, the cost should be $10 or less per member.

06. If you are interested in a WBTA lanyard pin, please PM Noel (birkner). See this pin link for example of the previous 2010 WBTA pin.Cost will be approximately 4,5 or 5 Euros per pin.

07. If you are interested in purchasing a WBTA t-shirt printed with a variation of the cruise meet logo, Karen (Pixie_Dust_For_Me) has kindly offered to organise this for our cruise. Price will be approximately $7 per t-shirt, and sizes range from Youth XS (size 2) to Youth XL; Adult S to Adult 4XL.

08. If you are interested in participating in a Mickey Mouse Club night, please check out this Mickey Mouse club post. Plans are to do this event on Monday September 19.

09. I am thinking of organizing the same tour I did last year in Madeira. Here is the Madeira link to a PDF file that gives more information about the 2010 tour. If you are interested, please send Noel (birkner) a PM.

10. We are also going to do a Champagne Girls meet. The Champagne Girls event originated on the WBPC cruise in 2008. Women get together dressed in pink to drink champagne or non alcoholic bubbly and chat. Pictures of the first meet are in this post and pictures from the last WBTA are in this post. Please PM (Clare)Pinky166 to add you name to the list.

11. If you would like to join in the Scrapbooking Exchange, please PM Clare (Pinky166) with your name and room number. The idea is to give your fellow exchangers some scrapbooking embellishments for use in your scrapbooks after you return home! For more info check this post.

12 Join us for a Pajama breakfast on September 18 at 10:00 AM at Lumiere's. We will meet outside Lumiere's at 9:50 AM to take group pictures. If you are interested, please PM Mandy (MandyGirl) with the number in your party.
Here is the picture from the PJ breakfast on last years WBTA.

13. Sarah (TotallyAngelic) is organizing a Gibraltar Dolphin Watching Expedition if you are interested in joining. Please PM Sarah with the number in your party if you are interested.

18. If anyone wants to organize a postcard exchange, please feel free to start one. What we did las year is bring a postcard from where we lived and left in each other's FE. It is best to limit the number of participants no more than 25 as cost and weight to bring become an issue.
