The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 13

[lovesdumbo]

Glad to hear you had a good time and I can't wait for the pictures.

I didn't tell everyone what went on with the pillowcases, so I guess I better.
I took a little long to get them done so I had to mail them to the hotel. I called and they had TWO yes TWO Beth XXXXX (fill in the last name) staying the same time AND come to find out they stayed just a few doors down from eachother.
Anyway the hotel front desk gave the package to the other Beth (who had more than one last name noted on her registration) The DH or DBF or who ever the man was in the room took the package and they kept it and EVEN OPEND IT!!!!! WHo takes a package from someone they don't know? AND THEN OPEN THE PACKAGE!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE???? THEN... the manager had to ask the people to give the package back because it wasn't for them. HELLOOOOOOO!!!!!
I had been on the phone with Beth and the hotel for a while last Tues and about lost it on the hotel manger when I told her that MY ELIZABETH XXX (insert last name) had been to the desk many times and sent away many time with no package. She and her family had been held up from going to the park because they had to come back to the front desk so many times. I asked the mgr if she could do something for Beth and her family because of all this.
YOU KNOW WHAT THE MANAGER SAID TO ME......
Well she and her family already have passes and they are already enjoying the park.
If I had been infront of that lady I think I would have wrapped my hands around her neck.
Give the family some little stupid thing lady for all the trouble they cause!!!!! So I have no clue if they ever gave Beth and her family anything becaise they never called me back like they said they would. I am so mad I should write a letter to the WDW manager/Pres. about this.

Sorry Beth for all the trouble.

WOW that was long.

Paula-I'm still catching up and just came across this. Thank you again for all you went through! (and Beth too!) I really LOVE my SSP!!!!!

Did you ever mail a letter? I still need need to do one about how I was treated at POFQ-sister resort to POR. I still just don't understand how things played out the way they did for us. The supervisor didn't want to upgrade us to waterview to give us connecting rooms so she assigned us to rooms that were off line for repairs. When we got from the parks late on our first night we went to a room without furniture. So explain to me why when Magic Express went to deliver our luggage they didn't tell the front desk the room didn't have furniture? They didn't leave the bags in those rooms so why didn't the front desk immediately assign us new rooms so that when we got back from the parks and went to the "bad" room they could have left us a note or at least when we got to the front desk to "complain" they could have said "we've already get new rooms all set for your with your luggage". I had also ordered stuff from the new Magical Beginings service so they must have tried to deliver my purchases-another opportunity for POFQ to reassign our rooms. Instead we had to wait until after 11pm to get our stuff-not a fun way to start a vacation. When I went to talk to the supervisor the next day who assigned the off line rooms she first laughed and then said "its not my fault-engineering told me those rooms were all set". WHAT???? I really need to get my letter going to Disney! At least the Merchandise Manager at POFQ left a message appologizing when they still didn't deliver my stuff till I called about the next afternoon.

I'd be interested in an ornament exchange also, ( if guys are alllowed ). I Christmas, and the whole Holiday Season.
Leighanna loves to get the mail and she would love to have something there for her sometime.

& are welcome to this exchange.....espescially when we get it completely figured out.

 

[ReAnSt]

How is everyone doing today??

Any updates on June or Caroline??

ETA: Nope, there weren't any updates on either of them yet.

 

[Tammi67]

I had plenty today, thanks!

Mine would make you double !!!

 

[ReAnSt]

I'd be up for an ornament exchange too!!

Today was Kaelyn's first day of school. When I asked her how it went, she said, "It was great! I really enjoyed it!" Phew! We're definitely happy with our choice now. Thanks for listening to me vent about the schools.

I am so glad to hear this, I hope she continues to feel this way about school. How did Stephanie do without her sister around??

 

[ReAnSt]

I am in. Although I have no "kids" to add to your mix.

I disagree with this statement. You have plenty, to play in the exchange.

If we did secret pals for Christmas we could exchange Disney Christmas ornaments. If we get this started count me in also. I love ornaments!!!

Lynn

oh me too I love Christmas

I'm all caught up on the main thread. Now I have to catch up on all the others on the DISigns section of the board. I'm off to bed. I will try to get hold of Melanie tomorrow to get a status on June's condition. I'll let you know as soon as I am able to reach her. Talk to you all tomorrow!

Does anyone know if most hospitals allow personal cd players with headphones??

The reason I am asking is I was thinking of maybe burning some CD's of Disney music and sending them along with a personal CD player( I have one I'm not using), headphones and lots of batteries for June. This way she can listen to the sounds of Disney or other music while in the hospital. If I do this I will post what music I sent her and if anyone else wants to send her some music they could. This is if we feel that she could have one in the hospital. Let me know what you think.

At our hospital they are allowed. I would think if she can have a laptop then she can have a CD player

I'd be up for an exchange as well

Well, of course you're allowed!!! You're part of the DDA family!

That's what I am figuring that most would allow them. I already have the CD player but don't use it anymore. If I don't send it to her I would keep it and add it to the pile of stuff for January to go to Jamaica for the infimary there. But I think I am going to send it to her. Just gotta find some batteries, headphones and burn some CD's.

How are you feeling and how is your ankle?

 

[tmfranlk]

Hi everyone! Somehow I ended up behind again...apparently weekends are a little hectic now with a dozen people running around instead of just Terra and me. I am reading backwards so I hope nothing sounds too out of place.

From Becky's post I'm guessing there are no new Caroline or June updates, but please let me know if I am missing anything.

 

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

Well, of course you're allowed!!! You're part of the DDA family!

Awwwww, Thanks!

 

[Steamboat Marti]

I'd be up for an exchange as well

For some reason I think you are talking about kids, not ornaments!!!

 

[Steamboat Marti]

Heading to bed -- tomorrow is Matt's first day of school. Have a great one!

 

[tmfranlk]

Hey, I don't know if anyone has posted yet, but there is some cute Princess and Pooh stuff in the Dollar Spot at Target. I picked up some pencils, notepads, magetic dress up Princesses and pens for our gift bags on next year's Grand Gathering. Very cute stuff, though our T-shirt designs certainly beat the little transfers that they have.

I think that I have the kids basically ready for school now although when I had them try pants on yesterday that fit at the end of school I found that none yep noda, zero pairs of pants fit. They both got much taller. If any of you come across pants with a size 5 waist and a size 8 length let me know because that is what Hunter needs. I'm pretty sure that they don't exist. I have found a few pairs that will work for the time being, but if he grows 1/2 inch they won't be long enough they are size 7X slim. Nick on the other hand sometimes needs huskey

Deb-I should have read this when you posted it on 8/29 but I was on my way home from Disney. I was feeling like a very bad Mommy last night when I finally got around to having Lizzie try on what she wanted to wear the first day of school I realized there was no way she could wear that skirt. Then she wanted to wear another skirt but the one shirt that went with it she stained at WDW. YIKES....well we finally found something she was happy wearing but it made me realize that while she's got tons of T's she doesn't have many polos or other type shirts for school that fit. I find it really hard to find pants to fit her too and really hard to find plain pants for her. I really hate some of the styles out now. I want her to look 7 not 17. So I stopped on the way home from work tonight at a Talbots outlet and bought her 2 pairs of pants-1 size 7 with adjustable waist. They were nice and simple chinos and she loves them because they are torquoise (sp?sorry Amy). The others were a boy's size 8 slim but they were HUGE on her and didn't have a waist adjuster so those have to go back. I got her a couple of polos at Old Navy. The 8's looked really small so I bought 10's which are a bit big but then they'll fit her next spring. You'ld think I'd learn my lesson and have Joe try his stuff on but he doesn't start until Thursday and I'm pretty sure I'm all set with him. Have you tried slims from Old Navy with the waist adjusters? I got Joe some chinos from the Gap after Easter when he sqeazed into the pair he wore but I ended up returning those when the ones from Old Navy had a better fit and were cheaper too.
