FATCAT you scared her away!!!!



I have removed everyone that we did not have a cabin number for. Page 9 of 1st thread and page 2 of this thread are updated.

I'm glad you're doing ok. I hope the rest of your day went ok. I posted above my my iphone and it was being a pain so I just saw this since I finally got my power back on. It's still storming through and now the Connector is flooding. I've lived here all my life and have never ever seen weather like this.

I know it, Hon. This is quite unbelievable!! So glad that you got your power restored...hopefully, this craziness ends today. My DH's business partner attempted to try and get onto the interstate (I-20) from our house and the three ways available to us were all closed due to flooding. We literally could not get onto the interstates right now if we had to. However, the good news is that the rain that was supposed to start at 2 looks like it might have fizzled out before it really got going. You stay safe, take care of yourself and your family, and just think about allllll the sunshine we'll soon be soaking up.

My heart goes out to all you GA folks - I hope your houses don't float away while we're on the cruise! Maybe things will dry up a bit in the next day or two, so you can at least make it to PC/Orlando safely!

Think of it as an extended cruise

Once is enough???

Crystal and Daisy: I hope you all stay safe. I saw all the CNN reports today and sheesh!! Serious question...I assume the droughts are over??? I saw how bad Lake Alatoona and Lake Lanier were a couple of years ago. Have your homes been affected?


I just finished my last day of work for 2.5 weeks. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Hey guys, We've made it to Orlando. I love those 2 hr non-stop flights to MCO. It was a Hot/rainy day as my DD said. It was a little bit confusing to drive and pay extra tolls every second, grrr. Otherwise, I love the vacation house/resort, took a dip in a pool with little babes. We are right off 192, about 5 min from AKL. Tomorrow we are heading to Epcot for half day and after naps who knows?

Crystal and Daisy, sorry to hear of bad weather in your area. I hope it does not do any harm and you are all safe.

Ana Banana, your work is done!! Ready for vacation?

Lots of neat "Souvenir" shops off W Irlo Bronson Hwy (192)

Good night!

The last person we are waiting for (PenskeSth1) has not logged into the DIS since July 31st. I have sent her a message via email to see if she is still cruising and has just not signed into the DIS (crazy, I can't even go more than several hours much less nearly two months! ) or if they have decided to take a later sailing. If we do not hear back what do we want to do? Keep them on the list on the off chance? Take them off? Let me know what you think!

Yes, take them off. Now I have a ton of extra FE gifts, especially since DisneyNut64 had 6 adults! Ugh....

Phew, our DDs first birthday party was a success today! The cake eating did not fair so well. She was out of the highchair after a few bites of frosting from her big sister. I think all the people staring at her just did her in! LOL! We will try again on Thursday evening since that is her real birthday.

Packing begins tomorrow after I drop my 4 yo off at preschool! Woo hoo...just a few days away!

Happy Birthday to your little one! My DD just turned 2 Sunday!

Ok do we actually have a break down of who is actually doing the FE exchange? I am only asking cause All the "missing" people I made name tags for, and I would hate to deliver FE's to someone who has no idea what the heck they are Got a ton accomplished this weekend. Todays is mostly tying up a lot of little ends, going to the bank, hardware store...putting some music and movies on my ipod. Charging all the boys electronics, doing tons of laundry,, and cleaning my house. I am also the type that CAN NOT relax on vacation thinking "oh my gosh my house is gonna be a mess when I get home". Tomorrow is much more hetic, and then leave at 4am on Wednesday morning. Will check in when we get to Flordia..Oh and I found a cool 25% off your entire order at Texas De Brazil, and $2 off each person for the swamp boat ride tours.

I spent most of the afternoon on Sunday cleaning. I threatened my family and told them they better keep it clean! DH started his vacay today and I have 2 more days of work, so I won't be around much to clean and he and the kids tend to leave things a mess!


To Crystal and Daisy...stay safe!

Lake Lanier is only 2.5 feet under full summer level. The real drought has pretty much been over this summer. We've gotten a lot of rain this summer and a lot of the water restrictions were easied up over the summer. The thing is the state "owes" water to Alabama and I think Florida from Lake Lanier from not releasing it last summer. So a lot of the rain that falls has to be released out of the lake.

We have 4 ways to get to our neighborhood. One was definitely closed yesterday afternoon so dh didn't go that way but then he had found out two of the other ways were flooded. Finally the last way was clear. I really didn't know if he was going to make it to us.

For those traveling through Atlanta this week, be careful. They are predicting we might get another 4-6 inches in the next few days.

 

[Momtotwogirls]

So scary, Crystal and Daisy! I hope you are able to get done what you need to get done and get out of there so you can enjoy your vacation. Hopefully the rain stops soon so you don't worry about your home while you are on the ship.

All of my DDs clothes are ironed and they will be packed tomorrow. Youngest DD has a lot less clothes than oldest, so I won't start hers until Thursday. She easily goes through three outfits a day!

Glad to here that everyone is beginning to arrive safely in Orlando. Enjoy your time in Disney World!!

 

[Crystal_27]

Good morning everyone and thanks so much for your well wishes. Things are improving a little bit, although the west side of Atlanta (my area) still is pretty tricky to navigate. The DOT opened up one whole lane of a I-20, one of our 10-lane highways (5 lanes east, 5 lanes west), so that tells you how bad things are. However, the sun is out today, so I'm hoping that it will start drying things out. Because I haven't been able to get into work Monday and Tuesday, I'm going to have to go in and work on Wednesday and Thursday (if I can make it in - LOL), so that stinks, but at this point, there is nothing more to do. I'm trying to get a lot of stuff done today (cleaning, last minute shopping, etc.) since I won't have Thursday to do it. I'm sorry to do a drive-by post, but I've got to get crackin'. Hope all is well with everyone, and Daisy, I hope that you are staying (relatively) dry . There were pictures everywhere on the news yesterday of people's houses, schools, cars completely under water. Even the coasters at 6 Flags are under water. It truly is a heartwrenching scene. If you guys think about it today, please give a thought (or a prayer, if you're so inclined) to these families who have lost everything.

We should be in the air tomorrow from our lay over in Baltimore and heading to Orlando. Will not be going into any park Wed. but going to DTD to eat and shop. Just don`t get in front of these 3 big kids at rope drop at MK on Thursday morning . LOL

 

[hooked o ncruises]

Fires Grumpy, safe travel to Mickey Land.
We should be in MK too on Thursday, but maybe not as early as rope dropping.

it was a HOT day today, had an Awesome time at EPCOT. DD met the Characters for the 1st time and it did not go well. She was soo afraid of them. Trying to upload some pics into Facebook. Cao

 

[Disney Sweetie]

Another work day done and 2 more to go......

Safe travels to all those leaving tomorrow. See you on Saturday!!!

 

[kpadalik]

Finishing up my last shift before I am off for 2 weeks!! Yay! Packing is coming along better than expected. I have 3 suitcases packed and sitting by the door. Our hanging garment bag has clothes in it but we can still add a few things. I was hoping that this was all I was going to have to bring, but it looks like I have to add a medium size duffle in there for all the random leftover stuff...chargers, diapers, makeup, etc. I know I overpacked, but oh well. I would rather overpack than not have enough! We leave Thursday morning. First time staying at the Dolphin - very excited!

 

[BigJon]

My wife and daughter want to tour the cabins on the 27th. What do they need to do to get in on this?

 

[BananasTwo]

Cabin Tours...I think you just show up right??


We leave tomorrow morning. So excited to meet all of you in just a few days. It's been great getting to know you thus far. Can't wait to see what the week has to bring. Just wondering if you guys all hyped it up too much.


Sooooo excited. Feels like Christmas Eve.


Safe travels to all of us and until then...

 

[FatCat]

Hmmmm my waist and neck do not seem to agree with any of my dress clothes.

Guess I am wearing Asian Tourist outfit to Formal night...
