Couldn't fit the part,
too dumb or too smart.

Me thinks it isn't over just yet.

Our lives change like the weather,

I just talked to Laura (Eeyorelvr10) and she is wearing a grass skirt also....so I guess I will pack mine...NOT doing Coconut Bra tho!!

See ya'll in 1 week!!

I'm right with ya. I'll go to Party City tomorrow and pick up a grass skirt for myself, but I'm NOT doing the Coconut Bra thing either!!

AKV is great - the rooms have some issues, but you can't beat the atmosphere, the cultural presentations, the animals, the zero entry pool, two hot tubs, two yummy restaurants and Kenyan COFFEE!

For those of us unfortunate to still be working, this number is looking better each passing day--

more sleeps and fewer days to get stuff done.

Captain Tony just turned 92 august 10.

Nite.

Last time I saw him many years ago, 1998 or maybe 97 he didn't look a day over a hundred and five.

Closing Olympic ceremonies are really reminding me of the Tapastry of Nations.

DH and I said the very same thing.

Am I really seeing the MAGIC now???

Certainly appears to be!

 

[Snowwhitebelle]

I'm not seeing the red smoke stacks is someone else?

 

[Snowwhitebelle]

I think I see them now, how exciting

Our flight is at 4:50, so long to wait, but lord knows I need the time....

Tim had to go to work for a training class this AM...had to nearly kick is butt outta the door to get there, he had NO desire to sit through a class when we leave today (but as I am one of the instructors that teaches that class, I ensured him "how important it is that he go to it....blah, blah!" I felt like it was a practice conversation for Merrick later in life )

We will see you all either at WDW or at Port! Safe travels to all!!!

Hi everyone,

I am hoping that someone here can send me in the right direction. You all seem to be such a great source of information about the cruises but I don't know if this particular item has ever been addressed.

I have applied for a job with the state that requires a proctored test. The test is offered on 9/3. They will NOT change the date for anyone for any reason. We are in Nassau that day! I just assumed I was out of the running for the job.

This morning (after a quest through Tallahassee last week) I got a call from the local office. The lady I spoke to said that they have had other people test from remote locations but they are in other "official" places like the police dept. or other federal or state offices where that applicant happens to be. She said that they would indeed be able to fax a test to the ship as long as an official of the ship would be willing to administer the test and then return it to them. Apparently the test is timed.

My question to you is.....where do I start? I know if I call the main number for reservations they probably won't be able to tell me anything. I thought I'd try to cut out some of the transfer from dept. to dept. on Disney's side of things and get right to the people who can actually answer this question. Any ideas of who that would be?

I'm thinking it would be pretty cool to say that I passed the first part of my job interview while on a Disney cruise!

 

[Snowwhitebelle]

do you suppose any other cruise line has hundreds of fans just watching a choppy webcam to see everytime they do a repo?

I can't say I have ever heard of a carnival cruise person( and I do know a few) that do it.

What's everyone think?

 

[LindaBabe]

Cathy - Try the reservation number, since you have it. If they can't point you in the right direction, call Shirley at the Perfect Gift and ask her advice. SHE knows EVERYTHING!

 

[twinmom108]

I'm watching the Magic too. It's exciting to watch it and know it's coming home just for us!

 

[TheWescotts]

Its moving!!!!
