It's not a toilet bomb?

BATH BOMB! yoi

HR...I figured for the heck of it I'd call...they were really cool, got my member number then they hook you up with a person who gives you some other info to get logged into DVC site. If you already have a disney.com log-in/password, you'll sign it with that FIRST and THEN proceed to getting onto the DVC member site. I made that mistake...I'm registered on disney.com...when I was signing up I used my email addresss. It then tells me that that user name is already being used?!!?!?!? I'm thinking how the heck is someone using my email address...then I read more and realized I'm already registered on Disney...just not DVC.

Everyone, all together now...DUH!!!!

gotta run...have to take DD to the ortho, shop a bit and get ready for DW's surgery tomorrow. 530AM check in!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be back!

Same thing, toilet bomb - bath bomb.

I called they were very nice but I wasn't in the system yet, no biggie.

Good Morning Everyone....
We had a fun evening last night DD started complaining at 5pm that her ear was hurting....great DH is out of town (the MD) and his ottoscope (the thing to look in ears, the bulb is burnt out) So off to the hospital to have a friend look in her ears and then off to get meds for her, we did not get home until after 10pm. She cried half the night and is miserable. She has a middle ear infection....I feel like I should just live at the hospital this week it would be easier .....

Hope you all have a great day!!!

Holiday..don't forget the ankle brace...don't worry no one will know...it goes under your socks!!

I sorry your having such a tough week. Look at it this way, maybe you get it all this hospital stuff out of the way before summer. I hope things start to go a little smoother for you.

Day 9......still waiting for that all important message.......

 

[Laxmom]

Vman, are you counting calendar days or business days? I was looking at the ROFR thread and some reported passing in 9 days. Agent said 10. But most people are reporting 2 weeks. Then it dawned on me; for us it was 9 business days but just shy of 2 calendar weeks, maybe some are counting the days differently.

Amy, sorry to hear about your daughter. I would so rather be sick than have one of my kids sick. Hope she is better soon! Stuff always happens when the husband is out of town; ie the smokey house thing!

I'm counting calendar days. I was reading last night where someone posted their paperwork was sent to Disney on 4/7 same day as mine, and they got the word yesterday that they passed ROFR. I'll just continue to check for messages...........

 

[minniekissedme]

HR...first, in case I miss you prior to blast off...have a "magical" trip! If you find that the truckster steers toward Pittsburgh, call me and I'll jump in!

Second...wanted to let you know that I received a call from my DVC guide yesterday, too! He obviously now knows we're in so maybe if you get that call you'll be in the system, too!

We actually passed on Mon but didn't hear until 9:32 am Tues. When DH called on Monday, agent said that Disney hadn't sent the bundle yet. They usually get a whole bunch at a time. They evidently came in later in the day on Monday - thus the Tues am phone call. I guess they can come at any time. Sooo....you could still find out today!

Well we'll see what happens, I'm really in no rush now because I can console myself with not being in the system with the fact that I'll be heading there in 1 day 14 hours 15 minutes and 3 seconds and ask Mickey in person!!!

 

[minniekissedme]

Congratulations!! How many days did it take?

Closed Monday...phone call from my guide Tuesday, checked today for kicks and I'm in the system...still no points but got my number and logged into the site.

I am most impressed!! I can't wait to look around that website!! Please tell us all about it! Agent said estopple would take about 3 weeks. I told her I was not surprised and that that was what I had heard.

You know...it's not terribly exciting. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to be part of the system. The site is all of the things you know/want to know/hope to know about DVC ownership. It does have pdf files of rules and regs, point charts, discount info, and more. In a nutshell it's like a Target...one stop DVC shopping!

It does keep tabs on points, ressies, etc. I'll know more after my points are in and I can make a bloody ressie. I did inquire about the holidays...my home resort is wide open for Dec/Jan so I'm hoping...

 

[tammymacb]

I got out of work early today! I am so happy!

Called Disney and got my numbers to go online and look at my account so I'm all set...well, with the little exception that my points aren't in there yet..

Kristen is back on wanting to take the June trip, so I need to get some reservations soon..

Ed, we want PICTURES of the basket! I'll have mine in about 18 days and can't wait to see what's in it.. Take lots of pictures of the boardwalk at nite too...

Thanks for the blast off! If I don't get a chance tomorrow, I want to wish you all the best with your wife and her operation again. I know you posted it on the Dis Dads Club but I'm not sure if you did here. I'm sure everything will go well and I pray she's not as uncomfortable after the procedure as you anticipate. Best of luck.

 

[tammymacb]

Bob, I didn't realize your wife was having surgery. I hope all is well!

Ed, have the best trip ever

Thanks...and I now realized I did not tell you guys about DW, sorry and thanks! She has had a "bite" issue for ever...now doing braces for the second time and needs this procedure to correct the bite. From what I know it won't be a whole lot of fun. She won't be wired shut but no Tower of Terror for her anytime soon! I have a big pot of chicken soup on now (my house smells sooooo good ) and will be checking for some more soup recipes to keep her eating. Anyone have something to share???? Picked up a bunch of fruit today, too...figure she can drink some smoothies, too.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

 

[Laxmom]

Travel safe, ED!!! Have a blast and be sure to tell "The Mouse" Hi for us. I sure hope he remembers who we are!!!

Bob, your DW will be in our prayers for a speedy recovery. Keep us posted.

Just got our rolling duffle bags that I ordered from LLBean for our summer trip and cruise. They are huge!!! I told Laxlad that if we ever need a doghouse, we could use one of these. My dogs could seriously fit in one of these!!! I think I may have overestimated!! I think I could pack for the 3 of us in the 2 bags I bought.

 

[Laxmom]

Both of my boys were candidates for this but orthodontists found ways around it. Oldest had to have an expander and if it hadn't worked.... Laxlad is having springs put on his braces next month to pull his lower jaw forward. I feel for her and hope all goes well.

Bolthouse Farms makes some great protein drinks. The one we like is the one that tastes like a mocha latte. They are in the salad section of most supermarkets. They have some fruity ones that are good too.

I'll be checking for points every friggin' hour now...

I did ask about Christmas availability and SSR is pretty open...I have a feeling I know of at least one trip to see Minnie...

Also have a feeling I'm going to get there before school starts again!

Edit...as I was typing, here's the note DW sent me via email...think she's concerned about going under the knife tomorrow..."I am ready to go end of summer right before school starts. They start on a Thursday, and I have no problem coming home on Wednesday from Disney to begin school."

 

[dvcnewgirl]

Wish your wife the best for us. I like to use the Bear Creek soups as starters and add some extra stuff.
