Now I can see it.

Hi, Noel, This was awesome information. Thank you so much! The link at #8 does not work, says the spreadsheet is unavailable.

Thanks for letting me know. Krisann (KrisannB) may have take the link down. See post # 21. http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=37838081&postcount=21If you are interested in seeing if there are any wrist bands left, you should PM her. If you cannot send her a PM, please email her at akblair@charter.net

Do you know where I would go to download the mini navigator to my iPad?

Mini navigator

Calendar is in post #2

One more thing (at least for now) what is the protocol for the door magnets? I'm so excited, I'm trying to do everything that's left available!!!!!!!

Thanks again,

I think you are asking what most of us are doing about magnets. If not, please let me know. Most of us are filling our doors with magnets. I have asked Millipie and Jordak on the Cruise magnet thread to personalize magnets for me which I print on my computer. I ordered my magnetic paper online but you can just as easily get from someplace like Office Depot!!

Everyone should be able to see it now....I changed my signature and put it above our picture and had to remove our cruise logo...but now it should appear.

I haven't posted enough to do a PM, so I'll get back with you soon.

 

[birkner]

Sandie, I am still up for the tea!! Have an afternoon tea dress and my fascinator ready to go!!

As for pirate costumes, we have them but will see if we bring them depending on the ending weight of our suitcases!!

It covers a lot more than the Disney insurance does. Plus it is less expensive. One time our TA recommended it.

Terrific, thanks!

Well, our flight home from Orlando was going to be PERFECT! Got to spend a good chunk of the day wandering around F&W before we headed to MCO for the flight to Mexico City.

Well, last Friday Mexicana Airlines ceased operations. Yup, went bankrupt! OY!

Much scrambling this morning - as we really thought we were on AeroMexico -to grab another flight at a decent fare. We did grab AeroMexico this time. Not the best fare but not horrible either. At least it's a nonstop flight from MCO to MEX!

Finally got around to prepaying the Praktik Rambla, too! Got the Euro for $1.27US so not horrible.

Michael

UGH that is so stressful. Glad you were able to find another flight. I thought my travel woes were bad, but you win. I woke up to an email from Delta today telling me my flight was canceled and the new flight they put me on got me home at 12:06 am on Monday morning. I promptly found a new flight on their website and called them so I am getting in at 9:30 pm Sunday night again. I also called and delayed my Jury Service till the week of 12/6 since I was slated for week of 9/20.

Just checked the weather for Sunday/Monday and all looks clear for my flights! I really should be getting to bed as my goal is to get on Eastern time by the end of this week.

Long list:

P&PD to Jon and Candida for the loss of your aunt

Happy Birthdat Sue

Dennis... great going on the surgery

Eric and Jason... everything is right on our landyards and the blog is great.Love the background.

Sandy... so far Im still in for the tea.

Todd... thanks for the pic of Magic

And if I forgot anyone or anything.. Im sorry.


OT and funny story from yesterday... gotta love kids.
Sitting at church yesterday and 2 rows in front of us sat a young familywith 2 kids. The little boy was about 4 or 5 and the baby girl was about 1.
The little boy was fussing with a toy and making comments like" it's not right, here this is better". A few seconds later he stood his Mr. Potatohead on the banister going up to the pulpit. In view of everyone! He looked at it and started fussing again... Mr Potatohead #2 showed up!

Again he sat down for a few seconds and took Mr. P #1 down and fixed him, putting 3 arms on him and a hat. By now Howard and I are almost in tears watching this show. Mr. P #2 came down and was adjusted with 2 ears where the eyes should go and a leg for a mouth.

I couldnt watch any more ... I was starting to giggle and now tears are running down my face. This continues for the last 5 minutes of services, and before leaving, he told his mom that his friends were not done yet.
I have to admitt... that was the most entering church service I've been too in a long time. What a great day!

Eye surgery went very well - as we knew it would!! Dennis was released an hour after surgery and we stopped by friends' house for coffee for an hour or so. Now we are home and he is napping. Thank you all for the good thoughts and prayers this morning.

Wonderful news .... hope Dennis continues to rest up and makes a good recovery

Awwwwww , Its getting close ...Heres the Magic pulling into Malta this morning , and the next time she does that we will be on her..... Matter of fact the next time she makes port in Barcelona she wont leave without us

WOW !!!!! Not long now for the b2b guys .... how exciting

And on a final note...Jason and I had a RIDICULOUSLY productive weekend!! We finished EVERYTHING we needed to do for this trip except for setting up our blog, which we plan to do tonight (we are hoping to blog at least every other day with a quick report about what we did that day and some photos so that our friends and family can keep track of us on our month long voyage!!). We also cleaned our entire house so we'd come home to a nice clean home......and....are you ready for this....

....WE PACKED!!

Not we started packing...not we set things aside to pack....WE PACKED!! Our suitcases are fully packed and sitting in the spare bedroom (no room by the front door or they'd be there) and ready to go!! The only thing we have left to do is to throw a few important items in our carry ons.....but otherwise we are good to go!!



......oh....and it's 2:55pm EST on Monday here.....exactly 3 days and 5 minutes from now I will be getting in my car and heading to the airport to catch our flight to begin our vacation!!

how exciting ....can't wait until it is our turn We are present and correct on the lanyards list.

Updates on Hurricane Earl:

From Bernard at Bernard Tours on St Maarten:

as you know we got hit by hurricane earl yesterday and today,some part of the island is without power,some roof took off, but we should be back to normal in the next 24 hrs..

Bernard..

Oh no .... hurricanes again pleased that it didn't cause too much damage in St Maarten. Now please make them all go away

Jon, what a great idea for a tasty treat to those that take care of us! I can bring the left overs from putting candy swap baggies together! Yes, thats right leftovers!! I have managed to NOT eat it all!

I am very impressed at your self discipline Sue .... I think I might do something similar for the stateroom host ... but I will pick up supplies in Gibraltar ..... remember that baggage allowance !!!!

Awwwwwww this sounds so entertaining ... kids can be so funny

Wow, I am so impressed by the level of organization and effort everyone has put into this disboard/cruise.
Welcome to everyone new. This is going to be an awesome cruise.
I will be power walking the Disneyland 5K and 1/2 marathon this Saturday and Sunday. I'll pack and weigh my luggage at least 10 times on Monday and my flight leaves Tuesday. I am so excited.

I sincerely hope that's what my darling daughter says about me!!!

Whilst I am sure my daughter thinks it, she would probably have to be extremely drunk(very unlikely) to say it like that, and on FB as well.

Bernard..

I'm glad they are all ok down there. I haven't been paying attention to hurricanes this year. I'm in denial, and if I don't notice any then there aren't any!!!

Might upset John though!!!

Dennis is safe!! Anyway John wouldn't hit a man with stitches in his eye!!!

Tomorrow is my doctor appt. and I hope I get wonderful news like Dennis. I will keep everyone posted because you have all been so kind with your input and experience - greatly appreciated.

I am sure you will be getting the very best news. I will be thinking about you.

Is the Disney rewards card a card were you get points on for things you spend whit Disney?

 

[gismo1554]

Morning all. Quick question, has anyone had a random refund from DCL? I've had around £10 credited back to my credit card on the 28th Aug for no apparent reason? Anyone hazzard a guess why?

Good luck for the 5K and 1/2 marathon!

I'd be more organised if I didn't spend quite so much time hanging out here with my Disfriends

 

[gismo1554]

Erik, our room numbers are correct. Congrats on having everything squared away!

To say I am unprepared for this trip is an insult to people who are unprepared. I am woefully unprepared. I have been working all hours to try to finish two major work reports before I leave, and this weekend I was struck with an awful summer cold that has me sniffling at my desk and wanting to do nothing but nap!

Luckily DH was able to find some sports sandals (like most men, he only had the 3 pairs of shoes - dress for work, running shoes, and army boots) and a nondescript backpack.

Hopefully next weekend I will be able to finalize everything.

Don't worry I think Dan is waiting until the last possible minute to check his stuff. Ive almost packed and he keeps saying "ill do it the day before"! Whats the betting I still forget something and he doesn't?
