Date Event
Sun, Apr 11, 2010 Matt is off on Tuesdays, so we have swapped our Narcoossee's and Artist Point Reservations.
Wed, Apr 7, 2010 We collected the last few things and shipped the two large suitcases to the Contemporary Hotel.
Mon, Apr 5, 2010 We received question sets 4-7 and the assignment grid.
Fri, Apr 2, 2010 Lisa mailed the Reader/Coordinating Judge notebooks.
Thu, Apr 01, 2010 Calvin set up the transport to and from the airport.
Fri, Mar 12, 2010 Emails with Keith Gimbel at Flying Fish improved the magic. On Calvin's advice, we booked a wheelchair with Walker Mobility.
Sat, Feb 20, 2010 Calvin confirmed the facials and hair care appointments.
Mon, Feb 15, 2010 My right hip was replaced.
Sat, Feb 12, 2010 The ladies have decided on the facials they want to have done at the Grand Floridian. Calvin has been informed.
Mon, Jan 11, 2010 AirTran has changed our flights! Our return flight now leaves Orlando at 1107 for Atlanta. We'll change planes there and be in Baltimore at 1502.
Tue, Nov 24, 2009 My left hip was replaced.
Fri, Oct 30, 2009 Calvin the Great, our Concierge contact, has arranged all of our dinner reservations, EXACTLY as requested. He seems to have an unlimited bag of pixie dust.
Thu, Oct 29, 2009 We have plane tickets. We'll leave from Baltimore on 12, April at 1243 and arrive in Orlando at 1503. For the return trip, we'll leave Orlando on the 18th at 1308 and arrive in Baltimore at 1517. For Margaret's comfort, we've elected Business Class, Air Tran's name for 1st class!
Wed, Oct 28, 2009 My left hip will be replaced 11/24/09. I'm confident the other can also be replaced in time.
Mon, Oct 19, 2009 We have changed our reservation to arrive on April 12th.
The best plan seems to be to drive to Baltimore and take Air Tran to MCO.
We'll not book the flights until after Dr. Petrera has his say on my hip replacements.
Wed, Oct 14, 2009 Julie confirms we are on the 12th floor, but can't tell us which side of the tower.
It appears that Allegiant Air will fly from SBY to Sanford, not MCO. This is not good and may push us back to US Air.
Tue, Oct 13, 2009 With help from Julie Baldwin, in the WDW Resort Reservations office for the Contemporary Resort, we have booked a handicap room with a roll-in shower on the concierge floor for the duration of our visit.
Mon, Oct 12, 2009 Lisa Rawls has contacted WDW Resort Reservations and the concierge room we want is available.
A discussion with the SBY airport manager suggests that the new airline will be in place in February, offering twice/week round-trip flights from SBY to MCO.
Thu, Oct 08, 2009 Calvin will arrange a commode chair and transportation to and from the airport.
Tue, Oct 06, 2009 Calvin is still onboard and ready to help.
Sun, Oct 04, 2009 Margaret agrees to accompany us to the Commissioner's Academic Challenge (CAC) at Walt Disney World in April 2010.
A 'CQ' was sent to Calvin in the Concierge office to see if he is still around.
