Lynne, I think Shades of Green will sell them to you, even if you aren't staying there. You might want to call them and ask. )

Been super busy boyfriends family in town since Friday and my family gets here saturday, just wanted to pop in and say hi!!!!

 

[RAPstar]

Morning all........

I know most of you will be still be asleep when it's around 8am in the UK, but whenever I try to get on the Dis between 8 and 10 am I can usually never get on.

It just won't load.......is there anything going on during that time that would cause that?


Trying to decide what to do today.........it's freezing.......but the sun is shining and the sky is blue.......so I always think I should be out if it's nice.

Other option is housework or baking

Not sure what time that is over here, but since I don't get home till one am from work, I've noticed sometime between 3 and 4am, the site usually shuts down for maintenance or somewhat and you can't log on or do anything. Sometimes a little before 3. Last night I was able to get on around 4:30 I think, though Disney's site was being wonky till almost 5. (I'm usually laying down by 5, 5:30 at the latest).

Schumi, bundle up and enjoy the sun. We've been seeing snow since 5am this morning, and it's still snowing.

Interesting my local military MWR doesn't have any more 3 day park to park tickets and USO won't ship until later in May. Hmm, UT sound better if I buy now. Decisions, decisions. I like a bargain, however.

Hump day indeed. A white one.

Hope all are doing well.

A rare white camel, cool!

That's interesting re the tix, wonder if WDW is going with the annual summer bump in prices too?

 

[schumigirl]

Interesting carole. I roll out of bed 3 days a week @ 5 am to greet GD at the door and watch cartoons for 3 hours until the coffee kicks in. Now curious lol will have to try & remember to log on Friday am, will let you know.

you paint quite the picture...........rolling out of bed

Schumi, bundle up and enjoy the sun. We've been seeing snow since 5am this morning, and it's still snowing.

We ended up walking in to our village and stopping in at one of the coffee shops, then quick walk along the beach.......it was nice, glad we went out. Hope your snow clears soon......you must be due some warmer weather

I'm sure you're 6 hours behind us......so yeah it's anywhere between 8ish and 10.......it can vary some days and some days I don't try to get on that early in the morning so don't know if it's every day, but maintenance would make sense.........that's a lot of maintenance!!

marci I've never been in a Burlington store, out of the way here but will have to check it out, great prices on those suits! re cabin - I'm a light sleeper, didn't hear a peep.

Two minor issues: 1) on sea day we received a note saying they were going to clean the balcony/windows and we couldn't use it until given the all clear...which was after 2 pm.

2) the bed placement threw me off for some reason and I didn't sleep well, believe it had something to do with the motion being 'different'. Bed is configured with feet aft, vs pointing toward the side of the ship. Rest of family had no issue though. fyi, destiny is the ship that resulted in my 1st (and only knock on wood!) walk of shame as to the rum runners. Found the letter on our cabin bed, family hysterically laughing at that point enjoying my discomfort. I decided to wait until right before muster drill before heading down to the bowels of the ship, they just waived me away with my luggage intact

Thanks Janet! We were in the cabin below it on the Freedom last year and I know what you mean about the movement as the bed was kind of diagonal at least in that cabin (and in the video I saw from this one) to the motion of the ship. Not front to back OR side to side but random.

We also had the issues with them cleaning the balconies but thought it was on 2 of the port days? We were annoyed because at least one of them we'd planned to stay and use it at that point. I do think it was a tighter window though like maybe 9-11 or something. If it's until 2 on a sea day you'll see me casually ignoring (or being blissfully "unaware" of) that advice/request. Ridiculous when you pay so much for these balconies to not let you use them during the prime time you'd want to. That's why I thought it was a port day - like we "should" have been in port then.

Okay, so re. rumrunners - you had them in your checked bag? Why not carry on? (Just space issues?) I was thinking of splitting them up at least. Did they take the rumrunners or let you pour them out and at least keep them? What did your message say? Thanks!

marci -we only had the one day with the balcony snafu. I agree, why not do it on a port day? I do recall we didn't have the issue we tend to run into with many direct afts where they hose down the lido deck and it drips onto far edge of balcony. I'll answer the other question via pm to save facekeep the pirate code intact.

Evening all.........

Just changed our hotel for night before we fly to New York.

Booked the Sofitel which is attached to Heathrow Airport.............more expensive but saves getting cabs or transfers backwards and forwards both days

I love a bit of luxury Think mum will be pleased too

Spending tomorrow afternoon with a friend....she's bringing over The Great Gatsby for us to watch so, will make us a nice snacky lunch to nibble while we watch. She says I said I wanted to see it........I don't remember at all........not my kind of movie, but it's a nice way to pass an afternoon with a friend

Is 2 pm too early for wine..............well it's 5 o'clock somewhere I suppose

 

[kittengal13]

Hi Schumi!

Oh I hope you like the Great Gatsby, I have a quote from it tattooed around my ankle but that was from the book which I read years before the film came out.. The film is fab too and the fact that Leo (aka love of my life) plays the main character was a dream come true for me *swoon*

Just ordered my new car today, got a brand new car two years ago but it has started having problems eg rain leaking in and soaking seats, sometimes the radio/clock etc won't start, so on Tuesday I pick up my brand new Corsa!! It has heated seats and a heated steering wheel, so excited!!!

Hope everyone's doing well

 

[RAPstar]

Ugh. So sick of work. Still 72 days to go till vacation. Excuse me whilst I go cry in the corner. Blah.

 

[Mrs bluer101]

Happy Friday everyone.

 

[Lynne G]

Wahoo! It is Friday Mrs. Bluer. 5 and 1/2 months til vacation! Robbie, hang in there! So ready for warm.

High today is 21. Wind chill, -3. It's cold. Oh well. And to start off March, we're to get a foot or more of snow on Sunday night. Guess the weather thought since we were just getting rid of the white stuff from the last big snow, we needed more. Keisha, is it snowing out your way already? I think it's coming from the South though.

Shumi, hope your movie afternoon was fun. Never a bad hour for a glass of good wine!

At least the sun is out and very bright already!

Trying to get over a cold, but I hope all have a great week-end!

 

[tink1957]

Hi

Cheer up Robbie...you only have a few months left unlike me who has almost 6 months to go.

Carole...it sounds like you have a great trip planned. Nothing like those last minute upgrades to make a vacation even more special.

Congrats on the new car kittengal...I'm still driving my old Toyota corolla. It's not much to look at but it gets good gas mileage. My son calls it Buzz Lightyear because it's so noisy you can hear it before you see it.

Lynne, it was in the 20's this morning but supposed to be in the 70's by Sunday...we can experience 3 seasons in just a few days here. Hope you feel better soon

Has anyone heard from mac lately? I hope she's OK...it's not like her to go so long without posting here.

I hated the movie we just chatted the afternoon away instead

Hope you enjoy the new car

Ugh. So sick of work. Still 72 days to go till vacation. Excuse me whilst I go cry in the corner. Blah.

72 days is just around the corner really .........it won't be long for you

Shumi, hope your movie afternoon was fun. Never a bad hour for a glass of good wine!

Trying to get over a cold, but I hope all have a great week-end!

Afternoon was good thanks........didn't enjoy the movie but we did partake in a little wine......it really was a little....I can't drink during the day.......usually end up asleep if I do!!
Hope you're feeling better........colds can suck real bad

Carole...it sounds like you have a great trip planned. Nothing like those last minute upgrades to make a vacation even more special.

Oh I love tinkering with our trip........was looking at taking mum to the United Nations Building for the lunch buffet they do.......but you have to book........and I hate planning anything in advance, so maybe not. You can call a day ahead so maybe look at that when we're there.

Got plenty of other ideas so we won't be stuck I don't think

Morning everyone,

I'm sure most of you have noticed macraven hasn't been posting recently.

Well, a couple of weeks ago her mum took a turn for the worse and became quite poorly.

Macraven has been spending all her time with her as she is now under hospice care.

I did ask macraven yesterday if I could post this as I know people have started to wonder where she is and she said I could. I know a couple of people on here know, but most don't.

I'm sure she knows how much we miss her on these boards and that we all send her prayers and lots of hugs.

 

[Dee2013]

{{{{Sending up prayers for peace for both macraven and her mom!}}}}

Thanks for filling us in Schumi
