Cute, cute, cute! But who is the dog?

The dog is called Dog, or DD for short. Jack & Wellington are not very imaginative (or safety conscious).

 

[HallsofVA]

Our travelling bears, Jack & Wellington, have made their own travel arrangements and we expect to catch up with them in Barcelona.

Albert

You'll have to connect your bears with TA2's bears, my DD's princess bunny, and all the other fur friends. We'll need a fur friend meet before this trip is over! Princess Bunny has been known to sneak off into the adult areas and pursuits when DD is in the kids club.

Cute, cute, cute! But who is the dog?

Snoopy??

We are in category 6 GTY cabin. Called Saturday and Disney indicated they wouldn't be assigning a cabin until 2 weeks before departure. There are category 4 cabins available on-line. The quoted me $6,000 to upgrade from a 6 to a 4. That is hard to believe. I'll wait and see what I get.

val

2 weeks before? That's crazy, but I've heard the general rule is the later the room assignment, the better the upgrade, so perhaps good things will come to those who wait. I always thought they worked down the ship when doing room assignments (4, 5, 6 etc.) but I have no basis for that thought. I thought they were already doing upgrades on the cruise or two before ours, so I figured we wouldn't be that far off. We got our last room assignment right at 44 days out. We're also in a Cat 6 GTY after switching to the military rates, and I compulsively check for a room assignments 2-3x a day.

I like to take pictures of everything I pack. I figure if I take the time to do this, I won't need the pictures. If I don't, I'll wish I had. Just a little superstition. Easy to do now with digital camera.

I could always take pictures of my socks

Easy to do now with digital camera. I just download it at home before we leave in case camera gets lost/stolen, too. I haven't figured out how to take a picture of the camera yet! I guess I could take a picture of it using the mirror.

I end up taking pictures of everything we pack...but generally when we are wearing it at some point during the trip! Great suggestions!!

I thought I had posted this somewhere, but can't find it. Is it still possible for me to get into an FE exchange group?

I think all you need to do is pm Krissan and shell sort you out into the Strawberry group I believe!

How was your trip Lynne? Good luck with the first night shift

I hope your night goes well Lynne. No really poorly pets and no stress for the first night back.

How about a baked potatoe with fat free sour cream and broccoli witht hat chicken I also love the "I cannot believe it's butter spray" I use that on my potatoes. Wven a baked sweet potatoe would be yummy.

I'm proud and a lot off people in The Netherlands, but we like to see good soccerplay. And that we didn't do.

We can take Paul whit us and trow him in the sea. Or leave him in Spain because he loves them more then us (Deutsland- Holland).

Thanks all who have supported my and our dutch team.

Tomorrow they will get a canaltour whit lot off orangedressed crazypeople so we're proud that they can so far.

It's sooo hard when you come sooo close, isn't it?!?

We/I know exactly what you are talking about...

Yeah, Paul should move to Spain!

 

[valbob89]

I found a pad of packing list pre-printed forms at Michael's. It is really a great help. Plus I save the list from cruise to cruise, updating it when I get home with things I missed. Tried to scan it to show you but the formating got all messed up. val

PinUpdate!!!!

We have reached 100 pins so we can order the pins.
In order to have our pins on time for our Transantlantic Cruise, we must order the pins by Jul 22.

The pins cost 4,50 Euro each. You can pay the money for the pins on Noel's paypal or on Patrick's paypal account.

Since the cost for people who live in America is less if you pay on Noel account, you may choose to pay through her. Then, she will send the money to Patrick's account.

If you are going to pay Noel, you must first determine how much the dollar is versus the Euro. In order to determine how much 4.5 Euros, you must first attempt to make order of 4.5 Euros to determine how much to pay Noel. Do not complete this order. You are only using this method to determine how much the actual dollar cost is pay in Euros. Then you can pay Noel the actual dollar amount which she will transfer to Patrick in Euros in your name.

As with the Euros transfer, please use a Personal transfer and say it is a gift to avoid fees to be charged to the recipient.

Noel's paypalaccount is birkner@needinfo.com

Patrick's paypalaccount is p.vanmaaren@chello.nl

Please send your money to one of us with your both your DIS name and your email address before 21 July so we can order the pins on time and in the numbers of pins we want.

If all the money is received before that time, we will not be able to order the pins at that price, so it is critical that all the money be collected before that time.

Connie will take the pins with her on the Cruise and hand them out on the first Dismeet or if you are not going to the meet, she can arrange to meet you in the boarding area in Barcelona.

Noel and Connie

I will send this also to you're PMbox.

Trying to catch up, days behind, busy at work and at home, just letting Connie know that we have paid for our pins and paid the fee, thanks for doing this. Will probably have to skim to catch up with you lot'
Cant believe it is less than 10 weeks to go, have such a lot to sort out, made a start by doing our ESTAs but thats about it, will have to make an effort.

Perhaps I could do it with different socks

val

2 weeks?!!! Oh I hope its before that!

Welcome, we are Dennis and Angie. We live in Montana. I too turned 60 this year in March. Dennis is a wee bit older. Feel free to come to Cove Cafe to end your days with the Geezer and Geezers in Training (no acronym ) group. No need to sign up since whichever Geezer would be in charge of the list would probably just lose it anyway.


That is so funny!


We too are looking forward to cookies. We will have to alert the staff there that they will need to get in a supply. Bonita was working in another bar by the pool in Feb. I hate to have to break in new CMs, but it can be done.



I mentioned that Dennis bought a pair of shorts yesterday. He has bought a few pair over the last couple of years, but not worn them! He just has always worn slacks. Before yesterday's purchase I told him that he HAS to wear them if he buys them, BUT that he would need to lose the socks, especially the black ones!!

Oh I have to tell my Dad that all the time....no black socks with shorts!

2 weeks before? That's crazy, but I've heard the general rule is the later the room assignment, the better the upgrade, so perhaps good things will come to those who wait.

Thanks,
Chasity

We're doing the Segway tour on the 17th at 20:00 (8:00 pm) We booked through SegwayTours.cat I believe I went to Segwayofbarcelona.com

 

[FrauP]

Hi new to this thread. Doing b2b, Med and WBTA and then 3 weeks at AKL, all this to celebrate hubby's 60th. Spent all weekend just reading part 7. Nice to be part of one big happy Disney family. Although we now live in Perth, Australia, originally from London, Hubby from West Brom, and yes we adore Thorntons Chocolate. Hoping to pick up some whilst we pass through Heathrow Duty Free. Hope to meet you all soon.

WELCOME!! If you and your husband would like lanyards from the cruises, shoot me a PM or an email (wbtalanyards@yahoo.com). My partner and I are on the B2B, as well...and even though the lanyards are actually specific to the WBTA, there are a handful of us doing the B2B and so I will make the lanyards available to Med folks who are on the B2B, too so we can start getting to know each other!!

I sent my pin money via Paypal to Noel......
