Did you know that they are attracted by noise? So if you're doing something that you think may quiet them or scare them away...it's the exact opposite.

I had no idea. Fun fact.

I liked looking at the pictures, that miniature golf course looked pretty cool. And pizza for lunch?! Yum!

Thanks, the pizza was yummy. I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures.

hello how is everyone today

Hello, mikie1011. I'm doing good today, how are you doing?

 

[betty rose]

Yes Sir!

The little river is fat now and fun day for the ducks. Stopped raining 'till tomorrow. It should be days or a week before Walt can go back on the riverwalk. Flooded at all access points.

But hey, it is not SNOW!!!!

I'm always glad to see rain instead of snow. Just not to much of either!

Mosquitos have been slurpin' off a' me for about a month now. I'm like my family's canary in a coal mine when it comes to them... "Dad's gettin' bit. Get prepared, we're next...!"
Maybe they like beer...?

Stay away from the Zika virus.

I did the behind the seeds tour a couple trips ago. I had been wanting to do it for years, I was not disappointed. Fantastic tour, and I think one that someone could take multiple times and not be bored. But I might be biased since the living with the land ride is one of my favorite things in Epcot, despite having a black thumb!

Living with the land has always been one of our family's favorite. For some reason, I always want a salad after riding it.

Air plane tickets bought!

This one was tricky as hell. if I purchased from the same airport, it did cost way more on all the dates I wanted. and I did not want to stay that much time in miami or fort laurendale.
So I had to purchase separate single trips (PVR to MIAMI and then FLL to PVR). Saved good 300 USD using that.

Also, what do you mean stay away from guest relations? they want to shove extra things at all costs?
are the on ship excursions covered for rain and other things that can block it?

Now I will need you all to pray that I do not get a hurricane on the dates I wanted lol XD

and yes, you get beautiful sunsets on my side (pacific). PVR specially has wonderful areas to watch it.

It really depends on who you talk to at Guest Relations. Sometimes they may want to talk you into a more expensive excursion. Not always though. If I remember correctly, you don't get your money back if it rains. They usually do the excursions anyway. Despite the weather.

Well, assuming Navy , a regular cruise is a heckuva lot different than that...!

It sure is. A little piece of paradise on the ship.

They're now booking it 180 days out like ADRs I like planning, no I love planning but having to do it 6 months out is crazy. 3 months, I think that might be a bit better! Heck I can't even make ADRs for UNI for another month and other than Mythos everything will most likely be a walk up

Good luck on the rest of your planning. How are you doing today. I'm continuing my packing. 12 more days!

 

[betty rose]

ok I've got a little problem. Sometimes I think I over plan. I stuffed all our suitcases with stuff mostly towels and blankets and packed them into the trunk of the car just to see of they'd all fit. Good news everything will fit, bad new still 11 weeks to go

I'm so looking for your trip report when you get back. I had to try on clothes before they went into the bag. Some didn't fit anymore. I still have my more advanced weight.

 

[betty rose]

Oh my! I had to Google this. (I know sports are important to many people, but that's a lot of money! Then again, I don't watch football anyway.)

I don't watch football either. I've never been a big sports fan. I do like seeing one baseball game in the summer. (I like the hot dogs, at the park.) lol

I hate clothes shopping all the trying on, wears me out. I wish someone would make jeans that are consistant. I'm taking capris and jeans, anywhere from a size 10 to 16. The clothing manufactures drive me crazy.

If anyone is interested, go to the Disney Food blog...new article about the soft opening of the new Creamery.

My next door neighbor swears by Dianne Gillman she says they wear like iron. She gets them from HSN. Just types in her measurements and she says every pair fits perfectly. No going to the store. She does say she does have one little problem with them, not going to the store makes it a little too easy to get a few extra pairs I'm heading out this weekend to get foundation that should be fun, NOT Ulta supposedly has the one I like so if so that will make it easier, I don't want to go to the mall!

@StarWarsGirl what are you doing up so early on the first day of summer vacation?

One more story that happened on our last cruise. A man on the ship had a heart attack. The captain turned the ship around and we went back to Nassau so he could get medical care. Dropped him off, and we started back to St. Thomas, the captain put the ship in fast mode, he was burning a lot of fuel. We were only 30 minutes delayed. Talk about customer service!
