Marielle - lol - that was me. I just was too sleepy this morning to write a long post.
I recognized her immediately and said Marielle's daughter. Your sister/SIL was just commenting on how everyone recognized the kids when your daughter said what she did about the price of the Mickey plush. We couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Your girls are so beautiful - I saw them several times during the week. I don't think I ever saw Walt though and you were one of the few DIS'ers that I didn't meet in person.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

So, which DISer was in Mickey's Mates toward the end of the cruise, when my SIL (Kathy) and my DD8 (Hannah) were there? You recognized Hannah (apparently Hannah had picked up a stuffed Mickey, saw it was $22, and said "Well, THAT's not happening!" and put it back on the shelf.

it was all in the intonation - it was really quite funny. It was a bit of a madhouse around 8 on that last night - LOL. With that comment she seemed way to old for a plush Mickey anyway.

I hope you all had a great cruise.

The 10% is only on the cruise fare, not the port charges or taxes. There should be more than $140 though! I think that the big benefits of booking the repo onboard are the prepaid tips and the $500 credit per room. Maybe they have altered the 10% some due to that?

Oh no, we got much more than $140 off. The difference between what I got and I figured is around $140.

I just found out today that the Eastern Repo has dropped their children's prices significantly! They are charging less than $200 for kids 3-12 who are 3rd and 4th passengers!!

Lisa , I see you wrote 500 per state room credit ...I thought it was 250 per state room on the repo ????

Christmas?? When is Christmas?








Not even close... :blush:

Know what's really bad? After we disembarked we got a rental car and drove to Kennedy Space Center. On the way I saw a lot of Christmas trees and a sign that said "Christmas Trees $25" so I turned to DH and said "Why the heck are they still selling Christmas trees???" I was so out of the loop that I didn't even realize that christmas was almost here.

Love this photo!

Walt is such a sweet little guy!

Amy and I were talking last night about how much Walt favors his dad, and how much the girls seem to favor you.

OMG - I see your girls all over his face. LOL. He's one of those boys you just want to give kisses to.

That is weird! I know that when I booked our cruise, I gave her a list of names to link the resies to...including yours because she said that she had your quote request right there.

hopefully we are still linked....she had me booked for the 10/27/07.

I forgot to tell you - DH said this weekend. "Do you really want to go on a cruise next year? What date was it - 12/8" see, he listens AND evidently he wasn't frightened off

The issue is I want a car this year and since its December - that is more like next year. I need a new car more than the cruise. I just want the cruise and thought 2008 would allow me to save the money. The house acct would be paying for the next cruise vs. just me which makes a huge difference in the yikes factor. He had NO clue how much it all cost.

 

[Bella2000]

I guess I had better look at my dummy date for 2008 since I booked my stuff right before Lisa talked to her for 2007. I also used my debit card on board. Thank you for the heads up!

Lisa , I see you wrote 500 per state room credit ...I thought it was 250 per state room on the repo ????

I thought that someone who booked it onboard told me 500 each. Maybe I just misunderstood. Either way it is a bonus.

COOL!!!! I knew that I liked Carl the minute I met him in the terminal. You can always switch your dummy date to the 12/8/07 just in case to snag the rate now. If you can't go, just change it before 90 days out.

I just called
Yeah its 250 per stateroom ...so for us it ended up being 500.00 total ..

Should be enough for Pictures ehhh??

I can't believe I didn't meet you either!

ughhhhhhhhh I changed the setting on my video iPod to update one show in the selection vs. all of hte ones I should have checkmarked. Now I get a comment that the backyardigans are now there but all of the others are missing. At least she isn't whining.

 

[lbgraves]

Hey, Todd! Maybe you can work it out with BJ on your next cruise to pose for some pictures with the other guests to take care of some of the fare. Most of them wanted pictures with you anyway.

LOL! That doesn't sound good...but I don't understand the IPODese yet. LOL!

Do you know how happy you would make that child if you took her on the Magic with Sophia & Savannah & Kaitlyn again??? We could even have you seated at our table since we don't have to operate in covert mode anymore.

Actually , I talked to BJ and she wont be on the Repo Back ....At this Point I dont even know if they are doing a Pirate Night .....It sucks cause we dont know what night is what and cant plan ...I hate not being able to plan ...eeerrrrrrr Someone Help Please ....and the thread for our repo cruise is slower then snow melting in the Artic ...

 

[lbgraves]

Has anyone else besides Vanessa started working on their trip reports yet? I have 3 pages on works so far but started on the first day of the cruise. I might just do that & add the WDW part of the trip later.

 

[Bella2000]

Thanks for letting me know to check the reservations! Ours WAS canceled. I got this fantastic castmember Jason who helped reinstate it.

 

[lbgraves]

OMG!!!! That has been happening too often this past month!
