October 27, 2007 - Cruising around the Moon - A Magical All Hallows Eve

[pjpoohbear]

We were wondering that, but PJ mentioned a good plan recently: book now, when the dates first open (usually lowest pricing). Check discounts and pricing while on-board. If cheaper, re-book then with discount and cancel previous booking.
The price for our cat 7 in 10/07 is about $70 less than what our 2008 cat 6 will be. (I think I saw where a cat 7 on the 10/07 cruise is now about $250 more than we are paying)
Accomplished today? Oh, there was laundry :laundy: ,grocery shopping, gas in the autos, and a whole lotta DCL planning! :woohoo: Just got the new Passporter, and have penciled in PJ's plaplap dining rotation, ports of call, etc into the calendar. Fine tuning Palo thoughts. Reading up on shore excursions.

Do not cancel, have the pervious booking transferred!

[PaDisneyCouple]

What's the difference with a Cat 3 vs. a 6? Bigger?

cat 3 =614 sq ft (57 sq m.), cat 6 =268 sq ft (25 sq m.) [reference: Passporter 5th ed. pp89, 92] :3dglasses

plus- reservations/excursions at 105 days out, having a dining room/living room, boarding in the first group, and having a room close to Mr. Gent :goodvibes

Wow, those are big differences... I imagine a big price change goes with it!

Ok.... the cruise I was looking at for December of 2008... is $2700 MORE than the Halloween cruise. So... looks like we'll be a double dipper next year too! :cool1:

Hey PJ - if I book this one through a TA... when I price the offer when on our cruise.... if it's better with the 10% discount and $200 OBC, do they transfer the deposit too? Thanks for the helpful info!!:goodvibes

I'm looking mid-ship Cat 6 right now. Our first cruise was a Cat 6 on Deck 5 in 5622 and I LOVED only having one "neighbor" but the life boats to my left were a bit in the way of some pictures! I imagine on Deck 6 you can't see the boats at all!

This Halloween we are in 6078. :cool1:

[Babs417]

I was on 6 last May I couldnt see any life boats:thumbsup2 :cool2: :cutie:

The only people who I've know who have done the transfer of funds from same cruise to same cruise onboard for OBC and discount were not using a TA at the time, many have transfer it to a TA afterwards, best to see what the main board knows about this situation.

Pj

[Kimmielee]

I've got a request for a quote in at DL and with my TA. I'll book the Halloween DD to Costa Maya soon. Most likely directly with DCL to avoid the deposit issue. Hopefully the 10% discount and the OBC (which my TA usually matches) will be worth it! OH MY GOSH, I'm addicted to DCL!!

Intervention is needed!!!! :scared1:

I think we'll do a quick 4-5 day trip to WDW in March 2008 as well. That will hold us over! I need a second job.... 1-900-Kimmielee isn't paying out enough now!!!

DW finally got something she's really wanted: a universal remote for the tv/vcr/dvd. :happytv: After an hour of programming our components into the computer, we think we've achieved success. Except for the fact that the stereo system isn't hooked to any of the other components, so we spent time programming it into the remote for nothing. Over/under on rer's time for the same tasks is 15 minutes, per DW. :surfweb:
I looked at the 4/06 Eastern Navigators on the DIS yesterday, and am hoping they'll have the digital photography seminar on our cruise. I think gaining experience with digital photography is next on our technology to-do list.

:groom:

[vital]

Had an AWESOME time flying today! I got to realize a dream acting as a flight nurse! VERY COOL!!!!! I'm exhausted b/c I had to be at the hospital at 5AM! That means I got up at 0400! CRAZY! I'll probably be asleep at halftime!pirate:

[DreamCruiser100]

Just Checking In............still need to CUOP!!!

Wonderful news as it seems DH did not have any members in the area that was hit by the Tornado's. The news coverage here shows such devastation.

I have not been on-line much this weekend because both DH and DD have awful colds and are running me ragged LOL, I finally got DD to lay down and read a book ( nap;) ) and DH is settling in to watch the Superbowl. Atleast I am not hosting a house full of crazy football fans this year, since our house is now known as the SICK FAMILY house LOL.

DH and I are trying to figure out which cruise we will book while on board??
DH thinks the DS boards are harboring a secret porthole that goes straight into our bank account :wizard: ( That's Disney Magic for ya )

Ok, I am going to go CUOP and then hopefully I will be able to come back and hang out for awhile.:cool1:

[DreamCruiser100]

Ahhh....only had to catch up on 3 or 4 pages!!

First off
YEAH KIMMIELEE is Back!!

:banana: Congratulations to NOAH, McKENNA AND HOLLY FOR SUCH GREAT REPORT CARDS!!!:banana:

EWWWW I HATE RATS!!!

Melanie........I hope you feel better soon!!!:hug:

Vital: I have a cat that leaves me presents too..She is 14 years young and is the GREASTEST cat EVER!!! ( ok well I don't like the presents much, but it is the thought that counts:cutie: )

A Flying NURSE HOW COOL IS THAT!!!

Looks like Dh and I need to look into the DD cruise for Oct. 25th 2008, We couldn't book right now though but could in a few months. Would that be better than waiting to book on board????

[Kimmielee]

Paula - I'm glad you had a great time! http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t223/KimmieleeInLO/Rotary-05-june.gif I was thinking of you earlier. How cool to realize a dream!! :goodvibes

Pam, I'd book as soon as you can come up with the deposit. IF prices go up too much then you'll have a better price than rebooking on board, even with the 10% discount and the $200 OBC. However, if not.... then you'll have a lock on the room you want AND have the deposit all done!

I'm booking mine in about 2 weeks when my bonus comes. I don't want to take $$$ out of savings for the deposit. Also, I got a quote from DU and it was the same as the DCL website... but with an OBC of $200. My regular TA will match the OBC when I rebook on board and have it switched to her so I end up with $400! IF the prices go up significantly, I might lose but I'll take my chances. :cool1:

Maria - give high 5's to Mckenna and Holly for their report cards! Isn't it funny that our "grades" are opposite one another? Or.... did I read Noah's report card wrong? OH MY :scared1: ... just kidding... they are opposite.

[vital]

We were half-way down page 2. I fell asleep during the 3rd quarter but managed to wake up for the Colts getting the trophy! At least I didn't miss most of the commercials.

I REALLY need a vacation! I'm trying to think of what we can do over spring break to help me out some. I think it's the fact that we've really only seen the sun for 3 good days out of 21. I'm used to sunny weather. It's been too cold to go outside and enjoy the sun when it's out. It can really have an effect on me. It used to be we could just drive down to our beach and grab a room for a couple of nights but since Katrina, all of that has changed. Oh well, I'll quit complaining now and hop in the shower.

Come to Michigan... it's beautiful and sunny :goodvibes Oh and did I mention that with the windchill it's 25 degrees BELOW ZERO????????? They cancelled school today. It's not a "snow day", it's a "COLD day"! :lmao: I can't remember the last time they did that!

Noah's ears weren't improving. He was crying when he had to swallow so we are on new meds... until he can swallow without crying/screaming... he's home with me. So.... here I am! :yay:

[ohsodisney]

Good Morning everyone. Well once AGAIN the schools are closed and we are getting battered with OMG possibally 2 more feet of snow :scared1: , thank God it melts a bit in between because our house would be buried by now. Wind chilla are -25 , it is horrible so I am with you Paula , a nice trip down south sounds really good about now :thumbsup2. I called work and they said don't bother coming in since it is so bad out. Many many accidents have been broadcasted already. We are so getting paid back for the mild December and January.

I am not sure what to do about the "08" DD. I know there are alot of items on our to do list including a 20x30 cedar shed and finishing off our countertops with corian, we started it but since the one side is almost 30 feet long we have put that on eventually list. We have a few weekly vacations planned this year including Jellystone Camping and Lake George Adronidacks family vacation. We are renting a cabin for the week and going to Six Flags and other area attractions.

We are thinking of possibally going on one of the new RCCL ships to the deep South and then coming back to Disney maybe the following year. We have done the St Thomas and St Maarteen iternary for the past 6 cruises and I really would like a change, I LOVE the Southern Carib islands :love:

Pam, Glad to hear your family is alright :yay:

Paula, how wonderful you were able to do something you have been dreaming about , maybe someday you will be onboard that helicopter . :)

[ohsodisney]

Oh , I forgot .
Did anyone see where the man from Texas lost 70 pounds in 7 months on the water diet ? He drank 3 glasses of water at each meal , 1 before, 1 after and 1 during. Others have claimed that they lost weight doing the same thing. It actually makes alot of sense when you think about it. Not only is it helping to fill you up faster but it does flush some salts and other stuff out of your system, not fat however but I think thats where the filling you up sooner comes in. He also said he ate desert everynight , thats what really matters :thumbsup2

I was going to have 10 hours of overtime on this next check until my DS calls me from school. Now we are about to go to the doctor and get his snotty nose, stomach ache and chest pain dealt with. Sometimes I think it's bad for nurses to have children, we NEVER believe they are sick until they are dang near in the hospital:sad2: . Poor thing never gets any sympathy!

Anywho, he's sick so I'll join y'all again when we get back from doc and pharmacy. The sun is out again today but it's still only in the 40's. YUCK! WHEN WILL I BE HOT AGAIN? WAAAAH WAAAAH!

OK, I'm done. I have to deal with whining folks all day, I think I deserve a whinefest every now and again!pirate: :lmao:

I was looking at the next halloween cruise and can't justify the cost when I can do the same ports minus CC from New Orleans for half of the price. I'd only have to drive 3 hours to port! Maybe I can get on another ship and meet y'all in a port! How cool would that be?:lmao:

Oh Paula , I'm so sorry he is sick . Hope he feels better soon. We are sending well wishes your way

I wanna go....is it time to go.......I am tired of taking care of sick people. I want to get on the ship :sail: & have a few :drinking1:s & meet up with all you guys for some fun. :grouphug: Is it time to go yet???????

[ohsodisney]

Melanie, I too am sooooooo ready to go. The worst part for me is our trip is paid in full and I know we can leave tomorrow if I wanted to, but I know I would miss a wonderful bunch if we changed, but I am so ready especially after this storm.

I have been reading lots & lots of trip reports and figure if I do this for the next 8 months it may help with my Disney cruise withdrawal, yes I have been having it since we disembarked from our April cruise. Most reports are very well written and quite entertaining.

Back to reading more, or maybe I should play with the girls before their bedtime, O.K girls it's your time :)

I'll be back later

[Kimmielee]

Back form my trip, and now I can check up on everyone. How is everyone? :wave2:


Sooooo???? How was the trip?????:confused3

[PaDisneyCouple]

Ahh, lake effect snow. Didn't get too much of that in Vestal, but I remember a few times... I also remember playing snowball fetch with our Lab in the winter. How he'd bury his face in the spot where the snowball landed. The weather here in Pa tends to run about 7-10 degrees warmer than at Mom and Dad's. When they visit in Spring or Fall, they can often see the difference in the plant life.
Best wishes for all those who are ill. We've got a few really sick folks in my department at work. Those of us not sick are wiping down everything in sight.
Our plans for this summer include multiple trips to upstate NY. To the family place in the Finger Lakes. I get more time off than Christine, so she's working an extra day here and there, banking the time, and planning to use it later. This way, we can get in our usual 5 or so trips up there, plus the cruise.

I could buy into this one, I did this on the ship, just by chance, and I lost 10lb during the week. Now I did have more activity, but as you can see I would so believe this is possible.

ETHAN! Honey, get better!

[vital]

Thank you all for the get well wishes for Ethan. I let him see them and it made him smile. I had to tell him that y'all are old friends so I didn't give the trip away!

I hope somebody is going to be around here tomorrow. I'll be home and bored to death! Get your typing fingers ready cause the board will be smokin':smokin:

Wow , thats amazing PJ since everyone typically tends to over eat on cruises. I AM one of those peps. I may try it this time since you have had success doing it and maybe I won't waddle off the ship with that always predictable 7 extra pounds. MMMMM....

I'll be here Paula. Another day off for me
and maybe a snow day for the girls.

Off to read more TR'S but first I need to see if anything good is on tube tonight :happytv:

[pjpoohbear]

Wow , thats amazing PJ since everyone typically tends to over eat on cruises. I AM one of those peps. I may try it this time since you have had success doing it and maybe I won't waddle off the ship with that always predictable 7 extra pounds. MMMMM....

I had dessert every night as well, and only chose the sugar-free option, which are rarely lower calorie, one night. Literally outfits I brought on board that fit perfectly, were baggy by the end of the week. I would love to cruise for a couple of months, lol, just to run out the whole experiment.

Is that the backstage safari? The Unofficial Guide describes it as, "a glimpse of how the animals are housed and cared for. Animal keepers and vets discuss conservation, animal nutrition, behavioral studies, and medicine. You'll see animal enclosures, feed bins, medical facilities, and labs, but not many animals."
In 2001, Christine and I arrived at the Conservation Station as they were performing an endoscopy on a cheetah. She wormed her way up front, right by the glass, and it took me about a half hour to find her. It was amazing. And, my photos came out great too! :banana: Now, whenever we're at AK, we always ask a CM if they could find out what procedures are on-tap for that day. The morning is the best time, from what we've heard.

[DreamCruiser100]

Chris, Try Lowry park Zoo. (google for their web address) I think they have feeding/mentoring programs. I will research/call for you when I get a minute this afternoon. Other than them I can't think of anywhere except maybe Busch Gardens. Both of these places are in Tampa, about an hour and half from the Mouse. Hope this helps. Will check in later.

Hope all the Kiddo's are feeling better this morning:grouphug:

My DD and DH seem to be on the mend WOO-HOO!!!

The High today is 63!! That's chilly!!! I hope Mickey has some earmuffs.:goodvibes

Have a great day everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a good thing I'm home with Ethan today. I now have a sore throat and snotty nose:sick: . I hope this will be the last illnes for us this winter. We are never sick around here. He's had the flu and now pneumonia all in one season! My friends think I bring home the nastiness from the ER! I told them they better watch it or I'll come to their houses and lick the phones!:lmao:

I'm off to drink my fake coffee. Maybe the warm liquid will make my throat feel better!

As of 8:00 this morning, my company announced a merger with our biggest competitor. Per most of what I'm reading, we ACQUIRED them... so I think I'm in the safer seat, per se.

Anyone ever been through this... I'm having major worries but keeping a strong face on for my team. HOLY crap this is not what I was expecting this morning!

Welcome to the Mooners! Will your DD be 9 at the time of sailing? I know some of the boys will be 8 at time of sailing. There are some young ladies here also. I think they'll be 6 or 7 at sailing time, correct me if I'm wrong y'all!pirate:

[DreamCruiser100]

Kimmie.............Sending prayers your way.:hug:

Woo-Hoo a new family.I have a DD who will be 8 1/2 when we cruise!! This is our first cruise too ( for DD and on DCL) You will learn so much from these boards. I feel like I have been on 10 cruises. LOL and the trip reports are great fun to read.

DUH.........I just saw you have almost 200 posts so obvisously YOU know how GREAT these boards are...:flower3:

[Kimmielee]

To give you a bit of background... I work for a mortgage insurance company and we underwrite high risk loans for lenders. I manage our #1 account and have the highest market share of any other location in our entire company!

The competition sits NEXT to me... literally, they are one row over on the client site. As much as they are the "competition" they are also friends.

Well, our version of the merger announcement given to our employees did NOT mention job duplications, severences, etc. THEIRS did. :banana:

They (the competition) do not have a ME - and that has always been a big part of why our market share is so high.

I THINK (and hope and pray) that I'm safe and my staff is safe... and the only concern that I have left is add'l locations across the country and more travel. THAT I can handle!!:cloud9:

[rer1972]

I was going to have 10 hours of overtime on this next check until my DS calls me from school. Now we are about to go to the doctor and get his snotty nose, stomach ache and chest pain dealt with. Sometimes I think it's bad for nurses to have children, we NEVER believe they are sick until they are dang near in the hospital:sad2: . Poor thing never gets any sympathy!

Anywho, he's sick so I'll join y'all again when we get back from doc and pharmacy. The sun is out again today but it's still only in the 40's. YUCK! WHEN WILL I BE HOT AGAIN? WAAAAH WAAAAH!

OK, I'm done. I have to deal with whining folks all day, I think I deserve a whinefest every now and again!pirate: :lmao:

It's rough being sick when it's really cold (heck it sucks anytime). Hope Ethan gets better soon.:hug:

[rer1972]

Well, Ethan has walking pneumonia. He doesn't act as sick as he should so I'm glad I took him to the doctor!

We're going through one merger now, and there are rumors that the Spanish bank that just bought us is going to be bought be an English bank:confused3 . The only real effect we've seen in Texas is we had to sell off one branch due to owning too much of the market in that city. The people should still have their jobs, but they will be working for someone else. Good and bad I guess.

The girls especially Holly couldn't stay away. If it was o.k with us she would have stayed there the whole cruise :) She too is Miss social butterfly.
McKenna is a little more quiet and much prefers playing with the boys, I call her my boy/girl :rolleyes1 . She is very laid back . Here is a picture of the girls on the RCCL cruise at the clubs while preforming for the parents. Holly was to socializing through the whole routine and still talks about her freinds to this day.
Note McKenna note wanting anything to do with the silliness :rotfl2: she kept telling us she was too shy.

Great pics! My older daughter is a little more reserved, her name is Ashlyn Makena :goodvibes great minds. :rotfl:
She kind of stands back and waits for someone to come up to her.
Lauren is always off and running, usually the other little kids are like, "woah.. personal space!!" :rotfl:

My husband named the girls since once they were delivered I could have cared less who was who :rotfl2: , He spelled Holly's middle name wrong , it is Nichole, I told him there should be a hole in Nichole. McKennas name we had picked for awhile.

You must be so excited since this is your first cruise :yay:
Have you been researching alot? Last year was our first Disney and we were on-line seeking out any information or well kept secrets that might have came in handy.
Which catagory are in in? We started on 12 and just moved up to a 9 porthole. We had the porthole last year and I don't think I could be without it now. Althou
DISNEY if you are listening UPGRADE PLEASE , UPGRADE PLEASE !

[dkal95]

We're in category 9 deck 2 right now. I'm thinking we might upgrade to an 8, it was only 168 dollars more through DU.

I AM super excited. I've been a member here for a few years but never researched cruises before. There's SO much info. :scared1:

I went and bought that Birnbaums Disney Cruise 2007 book yesterday at Barnes and Noble. It has some good stuff in it!

We are a Cat 9 on deck 2 also! I like being on the lower decks b/c if you are prone to seasickness you don't feel the movement as much down there. I like being able to look out of the window and see the waves!
Maybe I'll get upgraded since I booked in July! Even if I don't, I'll be satisfied. I looked at the difference for a Cat 6 and it's over $1000:scared1: A balcony would be nice, but not worth that much for as little as I hope to be in my room. Now, if we were doing a Panama Canal cruise or a 14 day one, then yes, I'd splurge!pirate:

[ohsodisney]

We are also on deck 2 rooms 2630 & 2630. We were upgraded for free last time to Deck 6 room 6016 and we definelty felt the movement of the ship. Dh who never gets sea sick was sick :sick: the first along with more then half the ship.

Seriously... here's the thoughts that went through my head... "How will I pay rent?" :eek: How will I pay my Jeep payment? :scared1: How will I pay for the cruise? http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/ad/eeek.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)

Notice how the cruise was the bigger concern? :rolleyes1

[dkal95]

They have us in 2650 right now, I was trying to look at the stateroom reviews and it looks like that one got a bad rating, it's the 2nd to last room at the back of the boat.

The review thing was down so I couldn't see why it was rated a 1.... just that it was.

I'll probably ask for something a little further up by the elevators.

Sorry you are :sick: now too Paula....we are around germs too much as nurses. I know what you mean about people thinking you have cooties because of all the germs...when I worked at Children's I used to think I should strip off my scrubs in the garage before I even came into the house. :lmao:

Paula... are you and Ethan feeling any better? :hug:

Everyone... thanks for the warm thoughts and well wishes as I was stressing today!! It's so nice to have a group of friends to vent to!! I'm glad my day is about over... :)

We are feeling a little better. Now I'm wondering should I keep E home from school and take a chance that he'll call me at 0930 b/c he feels bad, or should I keep him home and wonder why I didn't go ahead and send him to school. AAAAAAaah, the life of a mother. I know how I react when I see a sick kid at school. I wonder how a parent could send their kid to school like that. He'll have been on antibiotics for 2 days and hasn't been running a fever, but he looks pasty. My throat still hurts and my nose is stopped up. Dang, why am I rambling and boring all of y'all?:lmao:

Anywho, glad to see we are growing in number! Maria, you are scaring me. I was thinking that my bar bill wouldn't be so bad on this cruise, now I'm wondering if I should work an overtime day just for the bar tab!http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/eatdrink055.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)

Paula, OT may be a good idea.
I was so well behaved on the past 2 cruises since I wanted the girls to have a wonderful vacation. I think we drank maybe 6 drinks the entire cruise. THATS over now, this is going to be Mommy and Daddys cruise too this time :woohoo: :drinking1 :banana:

I have figured out the margarita http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/eatdrink043.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org) tasting times so if anyone would like to join me?
Sunday at 4:00
Monday - margarita and tequilla tasting , dear lord I don't mix my booze well :rotfl: 4:00
Thursday - 2:00
I hope they let me do all of them .
WHY oh WHY don't they just do them all on the same day and stagger the time ?:confused3 . Must be so we are all not doing this http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/eatdrink048.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org), then this http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/eatdrink007.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org), then this http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/sick016.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)( sorry that one is a little yucky).:rotfl:

Oh, I can't do tequila. The last time I drank that I had to hang my head out of the window like a dog on the way home so I didn't puke in my friend's carhttp://www.freesmileys.org/emo/sick004.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)

pirate: Good Evening everyone!!

Kimmielee: So glad things are in your favor. I am a HUGE AI fan and will be looking for your friend come Hollywood.

Maria: Count me in for the Margarita tasting. I say NO to Alcohol on most occasions but I think I would really enjoy the Margarita tasting and I'm all for a "fruity tooty" drink.:banana:

Vital: So glad to hear you and Ethan are recovering.:grouphug:


Ok, a funny thing happened on my way to the DIS boards tonight..........DH came home from a business trip tonight and brought home some Mardi Gras Pirate beads ( Mardi gras in Alabama??? Who knew???) anyhow, The beads were awesome, perfect for pirate night except the large medalion at the bottom was a half naked lady. So I say to DH, thats ok we will just unattach the lady and then the beads will be fine. Well I take my handy scissors, and YEP you guessed it she was not tied off and the ENTIRE string of beads went sailing across our hard wood floors and throughout the greatroom...........and YES I made DH help me gather them all up so I could restring them, afterall, they WERE perfect for pirate night. pirate: pirate:

HMMM have to wonder about that one :confused3 :rotfl: :lmao: my DH would have some explainging to do he he brought a set home from DC :lmao: They do sound perfect but the half naked lady would have fit right into the pirate theme don't ya think ?

[pjpoohbear]

Ok, I put in a request for the private room at Palo for Brunch, it will seat 14 max, so the first 12 adults whose names (first/last) and staterooms are PM'ed to me, will be handed in for the request. Will go by time stamp on PM. Requests are looked at 30 days pre-cruise and so anyone on the request list, should still book a brunch independently.

[ohsodisney]

I cannot believe this! Another 12 inches today and the schools are on a 2 hour delay, thats 3 days in a row. We have probally 2-3 feet already, we don't need anymore. I will probally get fired if I don't go into work today so please wish me well driving in this . I'm sure I'll be in tears the whole way in and it will take 1 1/2 hours compared to my typical 45 minutes.
We live in Oswego NY and have been plastered all over the news. I saw a segment this morning on GMA already about us.
Looks like all this week we are in for Lake Effect snow.

Just look in your rear mirror and you'll see what life's about sod the bleeding job,take care and drive slowly and safely....Tell the girls your car is now the Scooby bus.....:rotfl2:

[DreamCruiser100]

Take Care driving. We will say a prayer.

DH's client gave him the beads. The client is working on a float for his company and so he had "beads to spare". DH had to remove the half naked lady because I wouldn't want him wearing "that" around his neck. It had two pirate flags with skulls also that I felt were just as appropriate;) Hopefully when he sees this client again he will have some more. I would love to have some to hand out.

Hope everyone has a Magical day:wizard:

Thanks Ronnie..:sad1: :sick:

Good Morning all!

First, about Mardi Gras in Alabama. In Mobile is where Mardi Gras was originated. It's not a big party city so you never really hear much about it. It's a great place to take kids for the parades. We also have Mardi Gras on our coast (what's left of it). If y'all want me to, I can get beads from the shops in New Orleans. We have a St Patrick's Day parade here in Jackson, MS that rivals the Mardi Gras parades in New Orleans. I'm on a float in it so I'll post some pics then. It's a LOT of fun. No, Ethan doesn't get to go. It's a mommy thing. I always save the best beads for him though.

[ohsodisney]

Thanks guys for your thoughts, but schools are now closed again, good in one way bad in another. This means no work again today :sad2: . Barry said he would compensate me for my hours I missed, :rotfl2: he's a good man :thumbsup2

Well I should head back to bed :cloud9: since once again I have nothing better to do with myself . The house is spotless and the girls are busy playing Scooby Doo. Plus I stayed up till 12:00 and back up at 5:30 to see what the weather had in store for us today.

We finally had school today! :cool1: I don't know why... the temp is no different than it was on Monday or Tuesday... but I think the districts were getting a lot of heat (pun intended) from the parents about being closed!

Hey, does Barry have a single brother in his 40's?? Sounds like he's a great guy! :hug:

You have NO idea how many people ask me that :) . My friend at work just asked last week. :rotfl2: He has 2 brothers but they are taken :sad1: Its funny because he is so laid back that you may not see his hystertical side, OMG he is funny as hell. I'm hoping he opens up a bit more then the past cruise. His family I swear are decendents of Einstein, simply genuises, his cousins have been on Jeopardy and won a few times. Good Lord if I can remember my name from day to day I'm good. :lmao:

I know it is killing our district to have had the schools closed for 3 days, looks like tomorrow also, "the funding the funding" I'm sure they are all crying.

Thats odd that they opened yours today since the weather hasn't changed. I can never understand what the Superintentents are drinking in the morning when they call the shots but it certainly isn't coffee :) Ours has been on 2 hour delays the past few days . OMG it's a blizzard and -25 what are they waiting for? glaciers to slide in, storm of the century, the perfect storm, WHAT DO THEY WANT???? Lets see school is at 9:00 delay until 8:30, o.k now were closing, HELLO I drive and need more time since 2 miles an hour would only get me out of our driveway. Another 2 MPH may get me past my neighbors in this stuff. So 25 mintues for a 2 mile drive :rotfl:

O.k that was my rant for today :rotfl2:

What did I do to your quote? HEHE

[ohsodisney]

Re: ? about your picture of birthday present guy
Lol, it could be them. We live close to the parks and are there often. He went through a growth spurt between summer and now and he now towers over me and is just a few inches shy of dh.

Thats too funny , but it was taken last april. So funny because they said people may recoginize themselves or others :)

Had to share this with you Paula. I did put a few pics up on that board and received this PM this morning :rotfl2:

[vital]

It's just a matter of time before people start recognizing themselves. What about that whackjob who finds it "disturbing" that people post photos of others on the net? She needs to get a life or wear a disguise. Doesn't she know there are cameras EVERYWHERE now? With all the camera phones, it's only a matter of time before we see ourselves on the net!

[dkal95]

Okay so I was finally able to see the reviews for 2650 today, it said it was a loud room. So I'm trying for something on the other side of the hall between the aft and middle elevators.
I'm waiting on the TA to get back to me. (crossing my fingers)

Good Luck! What kind of noise did they say made it loud? Sometimes it can be like white noise and be calming.

Can anyone tell me if we are better off forward or back on deck 2? I looked at the ship deck staerooms and we have a gray spot next to our rooms, they say it for storage of cribs , ladders, IE. Noted also as one of the NOISY rooms. They have rooms 2522 and 2524 available, should we change?

It seemed to me that it was hit or miss. Supposedly the middle is better, but a lot of those reviews said those rooms were loud due to the restaurants being above them. :confused3

I think I must have read every review for every room on the 2nd deck, today. :laughing:
We ended up more near the front of the ship when it was all said and done.

It's really up to you and what you prefer.

Well heres the story. Barry and I have known for quite sometime, a few months at least that my little one McKenna has to have eye surgery on both of her eyes in April. I was fine until today when I saw a segment on an anesthsia, it scared me half to death :sad: .
I know some of you are nurses. Paula and I thought someone else . Is it something I should be worrying so much about? It crosses my mind every now and then, tonight being one of them. It's probally due to being couped up in this darn house for 4 days . :confused3

I completely understand. Noah was born with hypospadius which meant he needed an operation between 1 year and 18 months. It was something needed - for many reasons and I was so nervous with the anesthsia portion. He did fine.... he actually did great! They have come even further in the last 5 years with perfecting doses and type, etc... and even though I'm not a nurse (I just play one on tv) I am a Mom and I feel your turmoil. We'll all say prayers now and when it's time for the surgery.... and McKenna will be in wonderful hands! :hug:

[vital]

I understand your concern over anesthesia. Most people worry about the surgery itself but they don't realize how important the anestesiologist is in the surgery. Ethan has had 3 surgeries and everytime I felt like I was going to throw up when he went back. Kim's right, the medicine's they use are much less complicated than in the old days. I use the same drugs on people just in smaller doses to do procedures and they do just fine. You should be concerned because it's your baby, but I wouldn't be too focused on the anesthesia. The doctor's will base everything on her weight and she'll be just fine!

PS I know what you mean about PMS!

[vital]

As you can see, I'm up early and that means we are going to school/work today! We'll see how it goes!

[pjpoohbear]

Need two more peeps for the brunch or we may not be able to acutally book the private room, it is a minimum of 12 we have 11 as of right now. People, I am dodging the call from DCL, so sad.....LOL

[ohsodisney]

Good Morning
Thank you all so much. I am feeling better about it now:) . I'm a little sleepy still so I will grab a cup of jo :surfweb: and be back shortly. Oh , our school is on a 2 hour delay
AGAIN.

I plant lots and lots of Gerber Daisies everywhere. I had them in the front of our house in a picture I posted earlier. I only wish they were a perenial :sad1: .

[ohsodisney]

Wow, I'm amazed PJ that there are spots left. Last year we were fighting over it and some even gave up their spots because they were able to get a few ressies at Palos.

Come on guys , we promise to help Kimmi to stay under control :lmao:

Schools are closed yet AGAIN , no work for me either. My boss said don't worry about it she understands and has been keeping an eye on the storm and closings.

62 inches so far :scared1: :eek: :scared1:

[vital]

Well, as you can see, I'm home again. Ethan couldn't make it for long at school. We're going back to the doctor's office to see if he needs to change antibiotics. He seemed fine last night and this morning. When I picked him up from school a little while ago he looked like crap. He is wearing me out!

CAN WE GO YET?

[vital]

We now have 11, can take one more or three more, if we don't mind getting nice and close at the table. largest table in the main room is 10, we are good to go, will send the fax today. We will hear back around 30 days out.

Just bought my Minnie Mouse shoes for Halloween . I sure hope some of you are still planning on wearing costumes :goodvibes DD's are but probally not Barry.

[vital]

Wow, thats so sad about Anna Nicole. She led such a sad and tragic life and I do feel very bad for her :sad1: :sad2:

I feel sorry for her daughter. She doesn't know who her dad is, her mom and brother are dead and she's going to be the center of a custody battle. Good Grief! If the autopsy comes back with something wrong with her heart, I bet there will be all kinds of TrimSpa lawsuits. Hide and watch.

[Disneygrl36]

Yeah we are going to brunch :woohoo: I almost missed out good grief....that's what I get for not checking in for a day. :lmao: Thanks so much PJ for arranging this. You are :thumbsup2 super!!

It is sad about Anna Nicole. I wonder if it was suicide?drugs? The woman has had a rough go of it lately. They never have even made a final ruling on her son's death have they? I'm with Paula....I feel so bad for that baby girl.

Maria...62 inches :scared1. I can't even imagine. I have ordered a few things for my Mary Poppins costume so I am right there with ya on the costumes for Halloween. And :hug: for McKenna's surgery. I was a pediatric nurse for 12 years & the drugs are so much better & safer now....try not to worry about it too much (easier said than done I know) but I sent kids (not my own granted) for surgery every day & they did fine. Will it be done in a pediatric hospital?

Do we get to see any pictures from your trip Ronnie...you know a little look at the muddaland to help ease our pain of still having SO LONG to wait????

[Kimmielee]

That's the first thing that my co-workers were saying... "too many diet pills". So sad... I'll take my body as is if that's the result of diet pills! More of me to love!! :cutie:

I worry about the daughter and the $$$$ battle. Wasn't Anna still fighting for the inheiritance? If she's gone, won't her daughter get it? How long before there is a TV movie?

May God rest her soul. What a tragic life. :grouphug:

[ohsodisney]

Paula , Do you have a boxer? I LOVE them :love: . Our Samoyed passed away last year and we have been searching all over NY for another one, she was our baby . I should have her in my signature as well but I don't think I have any wonderful pictures, the only nice ones we have are 35mm.

I think the case for Anna was settled through the Supreme Court, but I am not positive.

Melanie, Mary Poppins, wow, are you making it? I still have to win my Minnie costume. they list them all the time so I am holding out for a deal :)

I did order a top to my swimsuit. i bought a 2 piece skirt and tankini set last year and I hate the top, no support :scared1: So I did find a plain black one that I hope will match.

Anyone watch Survivor?
Lost left me confused last night , not that it hasn't been doing that all along :confused3 At least we learned a little more about The Others and the Scientist lady there.

Yup, he's a Boxer all right. Might as well show y'all some pics of my furchildren!

Yes we are Oswego :sad1:

[ohsodisney]

It's funny when the German TV stations are here, along with many many international stations.

[vital]

Please don't tell me why! I can't stand to hear of anything bad happening to animals. Makes my heart hurt. Now people, meh, I'm pretty numb to them being hurt/dying. Doesn't affect me much unless it's someone I care about. Guess it's from being a nurse for so long. You have to learn how to seperate yourself from it or there'd be no medical professionals at all!

Good Golly Miss Molly at the snow! I honestly hope the other seasons rock b/c nothing in the world short of a FEW HUNDRED million dollars would make me stay there!:lmao:

I have A Golden Retrever Her name Is Rosie. I wish I could post pictures but I dont know how to.:flower3:

Good morning everyone :sunny:

I was watching the today show and Fulton in Oswego county was on the show. They said near the end of the segment that we are suppose to get 3-4 feet more next week . WHAT, how do they know this, our local stations have not even predicted this yet. Schools are on that 2 hour delay thing AGAIN so I'm sure we will be closed.

Now, on to the next planning phase: Hotel 10/26 and transfers. Followed by shore excursion planning. :boat:

259 days to go and I'm counting every single one of them!!!! :woohoo: I think this has been one of the most stressful weeks ever. With the merger announcement and my Dad's surgery - I am exhausted!! :crazy2:

Thanks to everyone listening to me vent!

Noah has a buddy over tonight. His Dad works for Radio Disney and tomorrow they are going to the Premier of "Bridge to Terabithia"!! :woohoo: How cool is that? :cool1:

Thanks again to PJ for putting the Brunch Bunch together. We'll have a blast!

Oh my... you had to mention LAVA cake... do you have Applebee's in your town? Our's has just introduced a chocolate molten cake with ice cream that is to DIE for!!! :cloud9:

My Dad is doing very well. He is 81 and a very "outdoor" type. He spent many, many summers in the garden. He always had beautiful flower gardens and yummy vegetable gardens. My childhood home was sitting on 1 acre of land and there wasn't much mowing to do because of his gardens. Anyway, too much sun and he's now got skin cancer. They took a tumor off of his ear and the biggest one was on top of his head.

He called me on Sunday and said ... "The Doctor wants to know where I have some skin that hasn't been exposed to the sun to put on my head. He wants to take it from my butt! I won't let him because you guys will call me a butt head!" :lmao: Gotta love it. They ended up taking skin from the back of his neck. :thumbsup2

I'm very blessed that he's as healthy as he is. 81 and no daily meds needed. Just this silly skin cancer that they believe is truly on the surface and not invasive. Amen.

[ohsodisney]

Kimmi . We do have an Applebees :worship: Thank you , Thank you :love: :rotfl2: I am definetely going to have to get some.
I'm so glad to hear your Dad is doing fine, it's a scary thing. My Dad sounds ALOT like yours. We walks evey single day for miles. He had gardens when we grew up also and is a not stop worker even to this day , he just can't sit. He comes comes out to help here all the time to mow our 3 acreas, gives him something to do I think. He had a pace maker put in a year ago due to some heart problems. I'm sure you guys will just LOVE him when you met him onboard.

It seems skin cancer is running rampid with many people I know. I lost my cousin at 21 due to it. Recently a few others. You would think I should have learned my lesson but I believe I am in it so much in the Summer because we typically have 5 months without it.

Hope you guys all have a wonderful weekend. :)

The SUN is out today! WOOOHOOOOOO! It's supposed to hit 50! I never thought 50 would sound so good! I'm making honey butter biscuites (canned if you must know) and then dragging my son outside for the day. We were supposed to go to my hometown about 70 miles south of here to plant trees with his boy scout troop but can't go b/c of his pneumonia. Sucks b/c that town, Hattiesburg, lost a TON of trees to Katrina. I was looking forward to going and eating some food that you can only get there. Oh well, maybe next time.

Kim, I'm so glad your dad is doing good! Too bad he can't go on the cruise with us! Maria's dad and he could hang out and talk about gardening!

About skin cancer. I worked in Radiology before I went back to the ER. We would diagnose people with skin cancer and I'm here to tell you that it's NOT all from the sun. Sure, the sun may exacerbate some but I'm not so sure it's the total cause like the media and some doctors think. I've seen a melanoma, the deadly kind, on the inside folds of a black lady's ******. Now you tell me when the last time that saw the sun. I've also seen it between someone's toes. I'm not saying to go fry in the sun, I'm just stating my opinion. Have y'all seen the sporadic news reports about ppl not getting enoug Vit D since the craze about sunscreen started? I've also seen a report where they now think that some of the ingredients in sunscreen may cause cancer. If you think about it, anything can cause cancer! I'll still get in the tanning bed a few times before my vacation, and I'll still lay out on the beach. I wear more protection than I used to b/c I don't want too many wrinkles. That may be stupid, but I don't want to miss out on LIFE trying not to get something I may or may not get anyway. Does that make sense? OK, off my soapbox now!

Sheesh, I didn't mean to go on a rampage!Well, the biscuits are beeping! I'll check in later! Y'all have a good day!

Feel Like I have been away for weeks.........................I am returning from DEATH LOL, my "Death Bed" that is. I guess my DH and DD thought it would be kind to share BOTH of their germs with me, so I now have the flu with a wicked case of Strep throat to go along with it. I am up and around today, thought I would check in. Silly, but I missed logging in and seeing what everyone was up to. I haven't CUOP'd so I don't know what I've missed. Just thought I would drop in. Hope everyone is well!!!! I am going to lay down but hopwfully will be back later.

Looks like we may be going on the Dolphin encounter after all. Girls it works like this. "OH honey I would LOVE to do the Dolphin Encounter it has been a dream of mine to swim with the Dolphins, HEY, Christmas will be right around the corner, it would be a great Christmas present" Then he says, for you or me? I say ME :banana: . I think it worked :rotfl:

I also decided to do the parasailing in CC since Barry has never tried it. He brings up the video of the person that had problems , I say oh Jarasic Park?:confused3 . no apparently he is talking about something he saw on tv where they had to have 5 or 6 people pull a lady down because she wasn't come down on her own, the wind got very strong. But we are doing it anyways. HELL I would'nt mind getting stuck up there at CC for awhile anyways :)

We are going to Megans Bay at St Thomas, almost sure of this one, depends on my Dad and Barry. We did St Johns snorkel tour a few cruises back and I remember they use to have drinking on the way there and back. I am quite certain they canceled drinking heading there due to me, http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/eatdrink007.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/eatdrink009.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/eatdrink048.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org), HONESTLY!, you do not give me a bunch of rum punch, tell me to jump off the boat and swim :lmao: OMG, DH had to come and fetch me because I was to smashed to realize I was swimming where all the boats where coming in :rotfl2: :rotfl: :lmao:

Pam, sorry to hear you are so sick :sad2: . I hope you are feeling well soon. I was wondering what happened to you :confused3 Isn't it nice that your family shares? Even things you wish they wouldn't.
I have been searching this thread for the larger picture of your DH and DD so I could show Barry. I found a few others you posted but not that particular one. He looks so much like Bob his boss in that one.

I have had a cat 11 sideways (loved the idea of walking into the middle of the room) booked in the past and switched to save over 45%:cool1: . Then on this cruise we will be in a cat 11 HCP, as DM will be along for the sail.

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: That is for the snorkeling/drinking story. :lmao:

On our last cruise, I had booked parasailing at CC. We got there late due to at least one aborted attempt at docking. got off the ship & went right to Marges Barges to sign in. Tha Bahamians running it said they need to go out and check the wind to see if we will be parasailing today. "go sit at the tables over there & we will come get you when we know." so we sat there along with a few other groups. It seemed like a long time and we eventually realized that all the other groups had left. So we went back to Marge's hut to inquire. "nobody came to tell you? we cancelled your parasailing due to the winds. you have 2 options: get on the list for the afternoon; if the wind conditions improve, we can do it. or, get a refund." We chose the refund. It did not look like conditions would improve, and we kindof got a bad impression of the tour operator. It turned out we chose the correct option. The rain poured down about 45 minutes later.

:boat:

So, despite our somewhat negative experience, I DO believe that they are very safety-minded are aware of wind conditions. It seemed to me that they would only do parasailing if the wind was okay.

This past fall at the Contemporary, I convinced Sean to do parasailing with me.:cloud9: :cloud9: :cloud9: :cloud9: :cloud9:
That pretty much sums it up. We brought our camera & took pictures, including backstage areas at MK. Now that my need to parasail has been satisfied, we will not be booking that excursion again.
So, I can not comment on the actual experience at CC, but I imagine it would be awesome! I love the feeling of flying/floating very high up, and being able to see everything. Just think, it is a view that very few people will experience, and you'll have the pictures to prove it.

Now for the dolphin encounter...must work on convincing Sean :scratchin ::yes::

Must go, the gym is calling
Have a great day!

[PaDisneyCouple]

Here's a question. Does anyone know if on the parasailing boat at CC they use a motorized winch or do they have to crank it by hand? When we did it at CR, it was motorized. When our time was up, the "captain" pressed a button and we were slowly brought down to the boat. It is probably better than a person cranking a winch and fighting the wind.

Just a thought.

Sweetie.... don't worry, we'll catch you up when you get back. The important thing is REST!!!!! :hug:

[ohsodisney]

Good Morning Christine
You have been a busy girl already this morning.

Try the Christmas present thing :) . I figured I was possibally staring almost $700.00 in the face since I promised Barry I would pay for everything we did on the trip including the onboard bill :scared1: . I know he didn't see the whole cruise thing coming for this fall.
I don't think that we are taking the girls on the Dolphin Encounter unless we win money from somewhere, I'm not so sure they will remember it enough to justify the cost. However the rest of the shore time beside the 45 minutes at CC will be spent with them. I know they will want to go to the Oceaneers Club at CC for a bit so we am hoping to jump over to Sernity Bay for a little while.

I did parasailing in Paradise Island while I stayed there for a week in Sept of "88". It was absolulety gorgeous and it seemed to be quite a bit longer then the air time of 5-7 mintes at CC, that seems short. I have not been back to Paradise Island since Atlantis was built, I can only imagine the difference.

Oh, heres another one of my blonde moments :rotfl2:
We stayed on PI for the week and I had such a hard time sleeping since it was my first trip to any island. I must have fallen asleep at a funny time because I remember getting up going outside and walking down towards the beach and finding a cozy little spot on a beach. I came across a local that said to me "What are doing mon ? I said I am waiting for the beach to open. He says "Well mon, you have quite a long time since it is only 1:00am. :rotfl: :lmao:

[vital]

The sun is out again today! Supposed to be in the high 50's! Ethan is going to ride his bike and I'm going to walk beside him when it warms up. I'm so looking forward to spring!

I've had a roast in the crock pot since last night and it's smelling really good! I'm going to make mashed potatoes to go with it. YUMMY!

Kim, how did it go last night? Hope it went good!

I'll talk at y'all later!pirate:

[ohsodisney]

Thats right Kimmi I fogot yesterday was the radio Disney and Road to (not going to try to spell it ):rotfl:
I am hoping to take the girls to see it the week they have off from school. I have to keep them busy that week. Maybe the Zoo and The Most Museum.

Paula, a roast sounds so good. DH makes most of the meals and I have to say he is quite the chef. Me I can't cook to save my life. But I can clean up a storm :) So you can only imagine the meals the girls and I have been eatting :rolleyes1 . The school gives the girls Pizza Hut coupons for a free pizza if they read 10 in a month, so that seems to cover 1 night. The rest of the time we are pillaging for food :rotfl:

Off to work, the first day in over a week. I got spoiled!

Anyone know when MNSSHP tickets go on sale???????? I'm thinking it has been May in the past but I can't remember for sure.

[vital]

Melanie, I see you've been to MNSSHP before. Is it really worth it? I keep fighting myself about going. I was considering going to MK that day and MGM that night while the MNSSHP was happening at MK. I guess my only hesitation is how crowded it will be. I don't want to start my vacation fighting with people for a spot to watch the parade. How crowded is it really? Thanks!pirate:

[pjpoohbear]

Vital, I have gone mid October and on Halloween night, it wasn't bad either night, go to the second parade and seats were easy to come by, just 20 minutes before the parade on Main Street.

[Babs417]

Bump

[ohsodisney]

PAULA , I AM GLAD YOU CHECKED ON CHRIS. I WAS GOING TO CALL HIM OUT THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE YOUR RIGHT HE HASN'T POSTED IN SEVERAL DAYS.

CHRIS, I HOPE ALL IS WELL :goodvibes


Melanie. We were going to do the MNSSH and decided the girls would probally have much more fun just going to Disney for the day. It would cost far too much to do both so this is our new plan.

[PaDisneyCouple]

DW came to me last night and said, "I'm starting to think we should stay at WDW the night before the cruise. To start the magic a day early." Hmmm.

Prior cruisers: when getting off the ship at ports of call, what do you need to bring with you? ID-wise. Is a Passport necessary, or just photo ID? We've never gotten off the ship before (except at CC).
Sean

[Disneygrl36]

Paula,
I love MNSSHP. I think it's a really fun way to see some Halloween themed stuff & it usually is not so crowded that you feel like you are fighting for things. Like PJ says we usually watch the 2nd parade. The parade & fireworks are AWESOME. If you don't care much about trick or treating you can really ride a whole lot of ride without much of a wait.....we even did this once on Halloween night. You can get in with your party tickets around 4 & do some stuff before hand too!!!!
Hope this helps.

That's the whole point of paying extra for MNSSHP, the tickets are limited and the park is NOT full capacity!!! You get to ride the rides without the longer waits, etc. The trick is getting dinner ressies IN the park so you are there when they "re-open" - which I thought was later than 4. I'll have to go do some digging for details.

Ok, for those that will think about taking the kids to "The Bridge to Terabithia" please do NOT highlight the following text which is in white:

The main character DIES and the whole theater was crying!! The Dad that took Noah said it comes out of nowhere and was quite upsetting to all of the kids!

Well heres the story. Barry and I have known for quite sometime, a few months at least that my little one McKenna has to have eye surgery on both of her eyes in April. I was fine until today when I saw a segment on an anesthsia, it scared me half to death :sad: .
I know some of you are nurses. Paula and I thought someone else . Is it something I should be worrying so much about? It crosses my mind every now and then, tonight being one of them. It's probally due to being couped up in this darn house for 4 days . :confused3
I'm quite sure my ever so lovely PMS is kicking in to to help me in my crying mood swing :rotfl2:

Don't go in with her when they put her to sleep would be my advice,i don't anymore as i always end up with some grit in my eye or standing in a draft..:rolleyes1

I'll have to go do some digging for details.

Ok, for those that will think about taking the kids to "The Bridge to Terabithia" please do NOT highlight the following text which is in white:

The main character DIES and the whole theater was crying!! The Dad that took Noah said it comes out of nowhere and was quite upsetting to all of the kids!

Those of you that want to know what is above, highlight it with your mouse.

[Kimmielee]

Oh Kimmielee pixiedust: for your next date with new mr sweetie. How exciting!! By the way, I have been meaning to ask you.....is Lee your middle name? If so, it's mine too!!

Can we goooooooo yet?

Thanks so much!! Yes, Lee is my middle name. I have very southern parents. It's Kimberly Lee and my last name. NO one was allowed to call me Kimmie when I was little. Then about 12 years ago, I took a new job at a bank and the President's office was right next to mine. He was new to the company too and the very first time I met him he says... "I think I'll call you Kimmie. You look like a Kimmie." How in the world do you correct your BOSS?:lmao:

So, it stuck and then there were two Kimmie's and to tell us apart, the Lee got tacked on.

I know what you mean about being ready to go... I had someone draw the Disney Magic ship on my white board and we started my countdown at work already!! 257 days to go!!!:dance3: :yay: :woohoo: :banana: :cool1: :cheer2: :thumbsup2

[Disneygrl36]

Kimmielee & Melanie Lee....boy we do sound like a couple of Southern Belle's don't we. :lmao:

Ok........I am excited about this. I got home today & found something cool waiting on me that I just have to share with you guys. Excuse the lounging around clothes, but I wanted to show you some pieces of my Halloween costume. Now I just have to figure out how in the heck I am getting that umbrella to the ship. I may have to mail it to Pam & get her to bring it for me. :lmao:

I am so not practically perfect in every way...but I think being MP for a night will be wayyyyyyyyyy fun. {told ya I was a geek :rotfl2:}

The beginnings of a Halloween costume....Mary Poppins hat, scarf & umbrella

Chris, do you think I'm a bad influence because I used the correct word for the female genitalia?:lmao: Of course I approved of this guy! I took him out for a test drive and gave him the stamp of approval:rotfl2: ! He also comes with a 90 day warranty!

Melanie, your costume is going to rock! I don't know if I'm going to do the witch or not. I also have a Little Red Riding Hood costume that I wore this year. Decisions, decisions.

I think we're going to MNSSHP for sure. I may just go to MGM that day instead of all day at MK and then most of the night there. OK, now I need to recruit someone to go with me since E won't ride TOT and RNR. I need someone to watch him while I ride!:lmao: :rotfl2:

What a cutie patootie! I have a feeling there will be a lot of new "boyfriend/girlfriends" on this trip! I'm just glad it's pre-hormones!

[ohsodisney]

Melanie . I am just loving your costume :thumbsup2 . I be the Minnie Geek right along with you. I'll take a picture as soon as I get it from the seller I got it from on Ebay. Oh I have to tell you I am basing most of my money for spending on the vacation on my Ebay selling this fall. I hope I do well :goodvibes . The girls have mostly Gymboree and Hanna Andersson clothes , gymboree because I work there and Hanna because it is an underlying addiction. Good Lord the spending money is adding up to half the cost of the cruise :scared1: :eek:

Paula, I think Holly will fall for him immediately!!!!! :love:
She loves boys already, scary. She is so excited to hand out her Valentines cards at school. She picked Princess ones and McKenna picked Cars. It took awhile to convice Holly to give Cars to the boys and not princesses.:lmao:

[ohsodisney]

I have been dying to post these .
The girls weighed 3.7 and 4.3 and I wanted to share a few baby pics of them since they are so darn cute :love: :)

This is Holly 1 day after arrival, still in the NICU

[vital]

Ethan chose Pirates of the Carribean! Imagine that:lmao: pirate:

[vital]

How cute are they?! Ethan has a thing for blondes:scared1: It'll be interesting to see how everyone interacts.......Adults includedpirate:

[Kimmielee]

Can you imagine the budding romances? :love:

[ohsodisney]

Paula. I think we are all going to get along very well. Barry and I love meeting people. He is a bit more laid back then me which is a good balance. We did alot with the girls last cruise and only hung out at night with the others from our group, shows and such. I am really hoping this time to get some time in for Barry and myself, and my Dad. My mom goes to bed very early so McKenna will be staying in their cabin at night if she is uncomfortable in the Oceaneers Club, Holly no worries.
We only saw 1 late night comedy show last time because oddly our pager kept going off each night around 10:30 :rotfl: . McKenna wanted her PB&J and the bunkbed I don't blame her.
I am really hoping that the girls are all able to do a few thing together such as the wine, beer, or margarita tasting since I know noone in my family will do wine or Magarita. I would love to have company :)
If anyone is thinking about it please let me know so when we board we can all book the same times at the desk.

[vital]

Count me in for sure for the beer and wine tasting. Margarita and martini's.......let's just say I get a little happy;) when I drink these. Also, if there's a champagne tasting, I'm soooooo there!pirate:

[ohsodisney]

OMG, this is going to be so fun . I can't wait :banana: :yay: :woohoo: :grouphug: :dance3:
AS Melanie would say:

ARE WE THERE YET ?

I am one of those happy drinkers too and it seems when this happens everyone is my best friend :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl: My Dad use to be the same way. I remember him walking around telling everyone how much he loved them :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[ohsodisney]

:eek: I was just thinking if I keep sitting here like I do I am going to have one of those secretary spreads by the time we leave. Little waist big big buttocks or other wise know as **** :scared1:

[Babs417]

Maria your girls are so cute.Melanie I love your costume:thumbsup2 :goodvibes ;) :) :cutie:

[A fat english gent]

I just had to answer this.....:lmao:

CHRIS . don't you ever go away again without telling us :lmao:

You can't imagine the thoughts that were going through my head as to where you may have gone or what happened to you http://pages.prodigy.net/indianahawkeye/newpage22/16.gif

Was he abducted by aliens ? http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/spacecraft7.gif

No way not again,have you seen the size of that probe?

Did he run away and join the carnival ? http://pages.prodigy.net/indianahawkeye/newpage09/15.gif

What the fat bearded man with breasts?

Was he captured by pirates ? http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/pirate.gif

And with my luck they'd all be gay and my "friend" would be called Mr Ivor bigone

Did he join the Army ? http://pages.prodigy.net/indianahawkeye/newpage22/9.gif

:rotfl2: This one had me:rotfl2: 2 or 3 years ago we spoke about moving state side and how was the best way of going about getting a green card... it turns out the quickest way is to join the military,Hazel Say's "Chris they'll take you in a flash and it's only 2 years love:scared1: :scared1: :scared1: " and "if a cop for one in some pig stay in the Stan or Iraq" Hmmm "yes love but just think the kids would get a better life and you always said when you were younger you'd love to be buried at arlington"... Oh yes thier is that love,thanks...:rotfl2:

Is hazel making him work to hard ? http://pages.prodigy.net/indianahawkeye/newpage20/15.gif

Chance would be a fine thing:rolleyes1

Who knew :confused3

[PaDisneyCouple]

Winter storm due to hit here (and the entire Eastern US) starting this morning. Looks like 6-12" of snow, and ice. PennDot is already saying a worst cast scenario for the roads. Snow, sleet, freezing rain (for several hours), and then back to snow. Will be shutting down for a while. Hope all have a good day.
Sean & Chris

ps- anyone ever stayed at the Swan or Dolphin? We're thinking of there for 10/26 (among other places).

Morning Sean/Chris?...your up early....The swan and dolphin are nice and before we choose the b2b we were due to stay at the dolphin the week before the cruise but after looking at the prices we decided we may as well stay at all stars because we are on such a tight time frame we simply wouldn't get value for money staying there....but if your planning to spend any hotel time i'd stay there in a flash...have a great day and stay safe...:)

The fat fella

[ohsodisney]

Chris, you are up early, well our time that is. What time is it in your neck of the World?

:rotfl2: Your miltary story is hysterical :lmao: OMG, :rotfl: . I can't stop laughing. That Hazel is a funny lady, can't wait to met her :yay: . Just think if you did join the military you could stay at the Disney Shades of Green Resort at an amazing discount. Back in 2002 nd 2003 they gave wonderful discount rates on the cruises, free park tickets and discounts at the other resorts. WOW, now that should be enough to get you to recruit or at least get Hazels mind a fluttering again. WELCOME TO THE STATES CHRIS AND FAMILY :rotfl:

Sean and Christine. Is this one of the first snow storms you guys had this year? They say by the time it reaches us it will be another 2 feet. When will it end? Oh me Oh my we do not need another 2 feet.:eek:

[ohsodisney]

I popped over to your other Oct, 20th board to see if you disappeared or just completely ditch us and came across the ladies and gents talking about putting you inside a snowman :lmao: :rotfl: :rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl: :rotfl2:. what are you doing over there to make them want to do such a thing?

[A fat english gent]

It's 10 past midday here.....the sun is shining (but it's chilly)how's your snow?.....Don't give her bloody idea's please but being 41 am too old now i think/hope:scared1: ....

ps...Rosie was 3'11 Ryan was 4'4 but 21 inch long he looked like a skinned rabbit and was a very poorly baby,great times but also VERY hard times if you know what i mean.....kids who'd have em:rotfl2:

I know am a fella and all that but am i on my own in thinking how much alike both paula's and kimm little chaps look alike?...
