Karen (PDFM); a big huge and a sigh of relieve for finally being able to make the final decision in going or not and it being . I know the other option too well, wouldn't wish that on anybody here. No need for details, seen to many so to say so got a clue what Steve has gone through and is wrapping up slowly. He's more than deserved this cruise! Perfect that the timing works out so perfectly.


Sjeez, this count down is going so fast!


For those being faced with....... none-advertised flight attendants; you should really start flying with a serious mobility disability. Pref. fly solo. Ground and bagage will be an......... interesting experience, but once aboard it seems to be a 99% succesrate for getting a nice, cheerfull, attentive approach. Good airline, soso one, Hellish Airways, aco or business class; same thing happens over and over again.


And talking about a post-cruise-reunion? Now? Is it me or are you guys getting a bit beyond nuts with the getting-close-to-cruise-fever? Come on! Who DARES talk about post-cruise at this moment in time? Shame, shame.


For the upcoming dec-WDW trip I've had so many problems thrown in already, a negative person would start to consider it signs a trip wasn't ment to be. Constant problems with resort availability, flights availability, things being put into systems wrong, rental powerchair charger not being available (European one doesn't work in the US), you name it. Made reservations for the first few days through CRO but special needs dep was down. Can happen, would be called back but shouldn't expect any problems. Same thing told to the person I'm renting points from regarding the next 11 days. Sure enough we learn today; no accessible studio available for either reservations. At least I could secure a room with grab bars for the first few days (not sure if it'll work, depends on lay out when I get there) but nothing at all for the DVC rental. If need be I'll just have to make due with the accessible options at the SSR pool/main building, but gosh do I kinda hope something opens up that we can grab instead (scarely long shot). Nothing short from serious tragedy will stop me from going on this trip, so it'ld better open up!

For those planning to go to WDW during the first days of december; the one thing in my favor; PIN-codes( yep multiple!). As far as I know I can book upto 3 rooms for me and friends during the same traveltime so if I can help anyone out; you know how to find me (it's 25% off value or mod and 35% off deluxe or DVC). And I happen to know that as of yesterday there was still quite a nice availability at both CBR and SSR with this PIN.

You didn't strike me as particularly sarcastic .... mind you I can be a bit slow to catch on and it probably went way over my head :rotfl2

I am sure Warren was on his best behaviour on the last cruise, I know Lee will be or he'll have me kicking him under the table.

 

[squitty]

That is strange....for the CG's she told me they need the cabin #'s to charge the room directly. Maybe they swipe your room key at the tastings then?

Who knows!!! They certainly don't seem too.

That's what she asked me for, cabin no's no reservation numbers. She said she'd be able to get all the info from names and cabin no's. I even asked her about the GTY'ers and she said she'd look them up later... I hope they do know Claire as we don't... If they muck up they're losing quite a few $$'s from us all.

No BBC3?! You guys got so many nice documentaries and series on there that shouldn't be missed! Really one of my favorite stations (have about 8 total) since changing to digital tv.

I like to ease folks in gently to begin with, let's see if you still feel the same after this weekend reunion

What are two like ?? Do you seriously record TV shows while you are away. I'm afraid there is nothing much on TV I would miss these days. Now if "Sherlock" was going to be back on it would be a different matter .. that show is worth recording. And I'm afraid one of my guilty pleasures is "The Vampire Diaries" and that isn't on at the moment either. I like Corrie, but can easily catch up with the storylines when we get back. Thats about it.

I am sure Warren was on his best behaviour on the last cruise, I know Lee will be or he'll have me kicking him under the table.

I don't know .... were you Warren ?

I guess we just have to cross our fingers & toes and hope for the best.

 

[GA-yaya]

You never know we might all HATE each other and spend our two weeks on the cruise hiding in our staterooms and ordering room service so we don't accidently bump into each other...


SW

(the above is a joke, LOL my sarcasm doesn't always translate online)

Just like we all HATE getting on the DISboards every day in our spare time!!!

I can't wait to meet everyone in person...it's so exciting!

YES!!!! That is what my Sky+ is for, LOL. Everything we watch is Sky+'d we don't watch anything live (except Sport) so it automatically records everything whilst we are away. I usually delete Corrie & Eastenders though as I never bother catching up with those.

We missed Sherlock and I really want to see that.

 

[steamboat will]

I'm always on my best behaviour when there are ladies at the table


SW

See the sarcasm is starting to seep out already

We will Claire...LOL's

Maybe you could see it on IPlayer ... it is easily the best thing that has been on the box in ages

All the TV shows we watch we can watch "on Demmand" when we get home. DH better not watch them without me while I am gone. ha ha
We love Burn Notice, Warehouse 13, White Collar, Suits, Hell's Kitchen, Master Chef, Eureka. That is all until the fall seasons start. Did I mention I just love "on demmand". That is on IO TV here in the US. Don't know if you have it in Europe.

 

[liesbeth1012]

WOW we certainly are an eager bunch, planning the reunion before the actual cruise

You never know we might all HATE each other and spend our two weeks on the cruise hiding in our staterooms and ordering room service so we don't accidently bump into each other...

(the above is a joke, LOL my sarcasm doesn't always translate online)

It's funny, we have been telling people that we're going to get on the ship already "knowing" (of course, done with air-quotes) people. And they'll say - what happens if you don't really like each other?

I look at them like they're nuts - after all we've been chatting online for nine months!

It seams odd to talk about a reunion next year when the cruise is not even begin. But I like it. It seems we know each other so good.

And I was forgotten about the olympics in august. It sounds great to go there, but the tickets are so expensive and the rest too, that is sounds like a fairytale to get there.

That's a good idea. I have a hard disk recorder, so I can lots of hours record.
I record As the world turns every day. (We are going to the end in the Netherlands, I think about 6 months) I follow this for so many years.
And I love Dowton Abby. The first serie was here the last few weeks. I must wait for the second till it is here, because I cann't receive where they broadcast it here.
And for the rest I have to see what is coming up in september.

I have never heard of IO TV ... mostly we just have Sky which is satellite but some places have cable. Not in North Wales though.

In the Netherlands we have also on demand. But only the series and programs who made in the Netherlands. Not the English/American series.

my only worry is I'm so bad remembering names, real names verses dis names. And I'm getting so excited but when i can't remember names, people will think I'm having one too many senior moments. the names tags will help, but I will have to put my glasses on to read them.... lol if I walk away with them om I'm likely to fall over...... so sorry in advance
