Way Early I know but anyone going on Eastern May 1-8 2004?

[Alice Sr.]

Hey Linda - thanks for the advise. I think I'll go talk to the people at Wolf Camera. A co-worker bought one this weekend and it came with 4 free lessons at no additional charge. Of course I will probably pay more for it but I'll do just about anything to avoid reading the manual. Hope you are getting some of this good weather too.

Alice

 

[Alice Sr.]

Jason maybe they are holding out because they want to give you the best possible upgrade BTW say Hi to Travis.

Alice--No problem on the info on the hotels...I thought 400 for the GF was ridiculous that's for sure! Hey if your tree is sprouting hundreds it must mean that mine is dead after the horrific winter! I want one! LOL It would be A LOT of fun to get a little mini-meet together on that Friday night...just for something fun and different to do. If you get a hotel near WDW you'll have to make sure you come over and say HEY! Great price on your airfare! I booked the cheapest I could for me (the other 4 used frequent flier miles on Delta) so I had to buy and the cheapest I could get was 340 r/t from SLC. OUCH! I guess if you divide that by the 5 of us it works out to only like $68.00 per person round trip so I guess I shouldnt feel so bad right?? LOL I wish our flights were shorter! That's one of the reasons I am SO hoping Disney sends one of the ships out West so I can fly for 1 1/2 hours and for $69-99 r/t on Southwest. I'm SO sorry to hear of your dental pain! I need to go so bad but I just cant bring myself to go! I know I will have to go before we set sail but I just dont want to go and I dont think anything I need done will necessarily hurt I just dont want to go! I always have to have some strong drug to get me through anything major like Root Canal's or something so I feel your pain!! I really may end up going to the "knock you out" dentist who puts you out and does all your dental work at the same time! Who knows!
It's 78 degrees here and has been so nice and warm! We are due for some rain by the weekend though but I can take a little rain if it gets nice like this again!!!

My UPS man came to my door but *sigh* he didnt bring docs...just brought my ephedra I bought before it went off the market! I'd much rather have had my docs!

Linda---congrats on the docs to your mom! I want mine now NOW NOW I tell you! OH well something else to wait for I guess!

LOL Jason...I heard the truck too and it really was the UPS truck and I thought YES they are here..but it wasnt them! I also got some flowers delivered for my neighbor who wasnt home and that got my heart pounding with excitement too! I almost dropped the flowers I was so upset it wasnt documents!

Well it's off to slather more wonderful cream on my "dots" from the hot tub!

Laters!

:Count us in! Hubby Bill & I are going on our 2nd Disney Cruise!!!! We're going to be in Disney for a few days before. This had started out as a family trip but now it's just us. It's going to be a nice way to celebrate our 9th anniversary.

 

[ScrapHappyMama]

I just got home from work and there was a nice little box from UPS by my front door, so now I am also DOING THE DOCUMENT DANCE along with Tammy and my mom, lol.

As soon as I get the kids fed and bathed I will settle in with a nice glass of wine and absorb the doc info.

I am SO excited!!!!!

Linda

ps... welcome GOVAC24!

 

[hydster]

Alright I'm going to start a major pouting session here! I WANT DOCS.. I WANT DOCS!!!! WWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


My day has been so crummy..I want some docs!!!! That would make my whole week!!! STUPID UPS..BRING ME MY DOCS! (do I sound like I'm 2 yet?)


GOVAC24---welcome welcome welcome to our little nook!! Settle in cause we get pretty wild!! It's great to have you along with us!!!!! It's exciting to get more people on our list!!!! Where are you staying before the cruise??? Some of us *cool people* are staying at Port Orleans...and maybe we are going to have a little get to know ya party there Friday night! We will be there for 2 days as well (we fly in on Wed but dont arrive until 11pm).

Heidi

 

[dthogue]

Linda - congrats to you and your mom - Hopefully we all can do the happy doc dance soon.

Jason - since you are the closest I would of thought you would get yours first

Govac24 - welcome to our cruise thread. What a way to celebrate your anniversary. Glad to hear that you'll we joining us.

Heidi - I've found that stomping your feets works well and relieves some stress LOL - hopefully your docs will come tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about your kids on the plane. My older 2 are fine, but Brenna is either asleep as we take off and sleeps for the whole flight or she is sick the whole time. Its been a year since we flew and she is better lately in the car, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she'll be ok on the plane.

We'll be at DTD Friday night, so keep us posted if you have a meet (and if its ok if we pop in). I love the boatride from POR to DTD.

Off to watch American Idol. Have a good night and happy doc dreams to all!

Tammy

 

[Boatingman]

Greetings all:

Okay... I too did not receive my documents yet. I looked out the front window on several occasions today only to see everyone but the UPS man. I ordered my SafeSea Lotion though. That should count for something.


Windy & cold again in NY . My son was home from school with strep. At least I got out of work- Yee Hah! Vaca. cannot come soon enough.

Govac24 -
Welcome aboard this thread & enjoy the anticipation!

Heidi-
Try having your children chew twizzlers or taffy while landing. It worked fine last year when my 2 flew to WDW. It helps as much as gum chewing. Also...How did you know all the words to lime in the coconut. That song was popular in the early 70's???

Jason-
No gofer-snake-mushroom CD Please!!!!!!!

Alice-
I went shopping again. Two dresses(on sale of course.) Now if I could just find some shorts.

36 more days till WDW and 38 till DCL!!!!!!!

-Kathy

 

[LogansMommy_MD]

Congrats to Tammy, Linda and Linda's mom on getting the docs!! I imagine those of us who booked through TA's will be last to get them... <sigh> oh well.. We can live vicariously through ya'll til then!!

Welcome GOVAC 24 to the thread!! Glad to have you here!

Jason - yep, Coolpix is cool - I actually got a 256 memory card with the camera so I can take TONS and TONS of pics!!! Can't wait to use it on the trip!!!

Alice - airfare deal you got sounds great! Hope you're feeling better from your dentist trip. DS has to go tomorrow a.m. and also to have some blood drawn... only good thing about that is I'M OFF WORK!!

Heidi - Sorry you didn't get your docs - I'm sure you'll get them soon, hopefully in the next week....

Kathy - Congrats on finding the dress bargains!! Hope your DS feels better.. Strep is no fun.. I seem to end up with it about once a year..

Later all.....

 

[CM_Mom]

Congrats to all of you who have your docs. I'm envious. We don't even know if we're going to get to go yet. As of Saturday they hadn't posted availability for crew discounts for the May 1 cruise and my DD apparently doesn't send e-mails any more.

Pardon me for whining but doesn't this girl understand that I don't get enough information when I only hear from her once a week? I got really spoiled when I could pick up the phone and talk to her any time I wanted. Now that the only time she can call is when they're in port on Saturday I send e-mails and it seems like they're dropping into the Carribean unread. I shouldn't complain. SHE'S the one who's working 10 hours a day EVERY SINGLE DAY. I'd have dropped before now. I'm definitely NOT 24 anymore.

I made the mistake of shopping for a swimsuit last night. I'm not the same shape I was at 24 either! Oh well. I'll find one and everyone will just have to put up with it. I'm not going to miss out on the water activities just because I'm not a Twiggy. the water trikes on Castaway Cay should like fun.

GOVAC24 Welcome. Set aside several hours if you want to read the entire post. But it's fun.

Everyone seems to have left a note today. Lots of excitement in the group. Those clocks keep ticking. YaHooooo.

Now that I've vented, I feel better. DD said on Saturday that she was pretty certain that we could get a cruise, but it may be one of the ones on the Wonder. If so, we will spend the rest of the time at WDW. It's still a vacation and still Disney.

Good Wednesday morning everyone!

It would seem that we have a lot of happy cruisers on our thread this morning after all of the UPS deliveries yesterday. Perhaps we'll see some more cruise docs come our way this morning and this afternoon. (Hopefully some delivered to, oh, say, Clearwater, FL! )

Welcome to GOVAC24! Glad to see that you found our thread and our little corner on the web at <a href="http://www.threecircles.net">ThreeCircles.net</a>. Have you and Bill planned any shore excursions for this cruise?


Alice--

I really like your way of looking at things!


CM-Mom--

I call DCL daily now to check for Florida Resident Rates and I come up empty handed every time! Perhaps DCL and the cruise industry as a whole is starting to come out of the "slump" they've been in. At any rate, I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya!

 

[conny264]

GOVAC24-welcome to the funniest group.

Alice-I hope you are feeling much better after your dentistvisit than me,I´m well into my second package of painkillers and it´s not getting better.
We ae trying to kill the nerv and this can take a while.,but please not much longer.

I´m so excited,that some allready got their docs.I want mine.I guess I´ll have to email my TA,she will get them first.

Conny

Hello to everyone! Happy Hump Day!!!

Tammy---I've stomped my feet all day long and yet STILL no visit from the ups guy! I hate flying with my kids! They usually end up bawling at the very least and almost hysterical at the very most! It gets so embarrasing! Once we flew to DL with our 2 kids when we landed in LAX after a brutal flight (1 1/2 hours of pure torture) McKaylee started wigging out..bawling, sobbing, almost screaming. Usually as soon as we get to the gate and they open the door her ear's release pressure...well wouldnt you know that this time we got stuck on the tarmac for 45 min waiting for a gate to open?? I felt bad for her more than anyone but I also felt bad for the people who were sitting around us. I've used every single method in the book from drinking out of straw, chewing gum, swallowing, Benadryl, Ear Planes..you name it and nothing works. I did get a tip for the Ear Numbing drops they give to kids when they have ear infections so that is what we will try this time. I would really like to have a meet at POR and you are more than welcome to come over from DTD to POR! That would be a lot of fun and anyone who will be around is welcome to join in!

Kathy--great you got your lotion! I got my Ephedra but what I really wanted was my docs! LOL Cool about the dress buying! I've given up on finding shorts..I just bought a whole bunch of capri's. Thanks for the tips on chewing...I think we've used every chewy thing in the book to help and nothing has yet! My kids just have realy sensitive ears apparently! The Lime in the Coconut my parents played a lot when I was younger (hey I grew up in the 70's and 80's) and then we heard Jimmy Buffet Sing it once and I donwloaded it and it's on my mp3 list still to this day! I just did a search for the whole lyric set on Google but I love that song. McKaylee had strep a few weeks ago..man that sucked!! I feel for you!!!

Tracey--Thanks for the sympathy on the no doc thing....I know they'll come it's just so exciting when they do!! One day they will surprise me..... LOL I sound like a little kid!

Reine--sorry to hear your DD isnt able to talk much to you! I can imagine that would be really hard although my kids are at the age where I wish they would shut up for awhile! LOL I hear you on the swimsuit buying!! I decided to just give up and figure if I dont look in the mirror at myself then I can pretend I am a svelte supermodel right?? LOL Hope you find out about the cruise soon!!

Conny--as soon as I get done with this lengthy post I will PM you my info!! I think maybe we should just plan a time so that anyone who wants to come can come over and plan a place as well!!! But I will PM you my name. Sorry to hear you're trying to kill a nerve! That is painful!!

Well...I am off to my mundane housewife tasks!
Take Care everyone!
Heidi

 

[dthogue]

Godd Morning,

Boy everyone must be busy shopping (or hunting down the UPS man) it sure is quite in here

I'm envious of those of you who purchased new swimsuits - boy that is the worst part of vacation - making sure no one I know sees me in my bathing suit

Alice - sorry about your trip to the dentist, I hope you are feeling better today. I'm also a dentist , don't go unless I have too.

Heidi - good luck with the ear drops, I hope they work. Starting a vacation in so much pain is no fun for you or your children.

Have a great day!
Tammy

 

[CM_Mom]

This will be short cause I've got to get to work.

Heidi, thanks for the sympathy. She called for a few minutes from St. Thomas yesterday. Didn't talk long cause she wanted to get back to the ship and go to bed. She had to work crowd control for immigration and was up at 5:30. She said the QE2 was in port with them in St. Maarten and it's HUGE.

All of you with dentist issues, hang in there. It's worse if you don't go and end up hurting ALL the time.

Doc Watchers...here's hoping all the docs are in by the end of the week. We're not even booked yet. I asked DD yesterday if they had released availability and she said MOM, I'll let you know AS SOON as they do. I checked airfair and it had gone down from last week so I booked it. One step closer to a Magical vacation...whether it's on the Magic or not.

Check you tonight if I'm not out shopping.
Reine

 

[conny264]

Hello everyone.

Back from another hour at the dentist,couldn´t stand the pain one minute longer.I hope,it worked this time.Also back to the painkillers.Just what I need also today in 4 weeks we´re off to Orlando and hopfully with healthy teeth.

heide-thanks for the pm,answer send.
Ok,m going to bed know and try to sleep,painkiller is working and early(very early)start tomorrow.

Take care.Conny

 

[ThreeCircles]

We got the Docs!!!

 

[hydster]

I"M JUST DOING THE DOCU DANCE!! DOING THE DOCUMENT DANCE!

I was gone all afternoon and VOILA..they came, they came, they came!!!!!

Will post more later...have to get kids from school!

THEY CAME!!!

Heidi

 

[hydster]

Ok now that I've calmed down a little bit I can reply to the posts from earlier today! My niece is here from Denver so I've been busy with her taking her and her friend here and there. ANYWAY

Tammy--I feel sorry for the kids but even more sorry for those around us who also have to listen to it. I'm hoping that since they are older it wont be as bad. Kaylee has ALWAYS had ear problems so it makes it worse for her. Cool that you are a dentist (did I read that right?) but man if you are..I may have to stay away from you! LOL Or I may be finding you going OUCH OUCH OUCH! LOL The ups guy came and I'm pretty sure he is glad he didnt have to see me! LOL I was a little pissed that he just left them sitting on my front porch! OH well at least I got them.

Reine--glad to hear you got to talk to DD for a few minutes anyway! If you need to talk to a kid you can ALWAYS call my 10 year old...she'd talk your leg off you! I'm glad all is well with her although I think having to do immigaration would stink! I hate the dentist with a passion! I go every 6 months to have my teeth cleaned and checked but my teeth are so awful that they just "spontaneously combust" even if I'm not eating or drinking the will just "explode" on me. It is awful!! I got my docs so no watching for me!! Cool on the airfare....and I'm sure you'll find out very soon!!

Conny---so sorry to hear about your teeth problems being still ongoing! That stinks!!! I hope they fixed it this time..and just think pretty soon we will be sipping froo froo drinks and just saying " I care about what?" Oh yeah NOTHING! haha

Jason--cool on getting the docs! My kids all said "so that means we really are going" like we would have backed out on it or something. LOL

Ok...Conny and I have decided that we should do a mini-meet on Friday night at 9pm at POR for ANYONE who is interested in coming! Anyone have any ideas on where to meet??? I've only been there once and my memory isnt so great anymore...we were thinking the bar inside the lobby..but anyone have any other ideas????

Ok..off to check dinner and then watch the NCAA tournament...gotta see if I win my betting pool! LOL

Heidi
Hoping that all of us get docs by the weekend!

 

[dthogue]

Evening Greetings - I'm so happy for those of you who got your DOCS today.

5 weeks from today and we'll be sitting in an airport hotel waiting for our AM flight.

Oh my Heidi - I just re-read my post. No way am I a dentist - however I have a niece who is a dental hygienist. Sorry for the confusion - I am a certified dentist avoider at all costs.

Conny- hope you feel better soon!

Great news on the Friday night meet - my only suggestion would be near the pool. I can't remember, but I think they have a pool bar - that way the kids could swim??

Tammy
