Hiya all -- We are at day 11 :) :) till departure - oh my goodness - we are getting so excited!!! can't wait to meet you all :) hope the flu bug steers clear from you all

I do have one question - do you think the Cast members will be passing out wipes as well as serving us on the buffett... years ago they were doing that for us - they did not allow anyone to touch the food ladels or drink station...

[Tinkerbell 99 Mom]

Lisa:

We will all be thinking about you tomorrow.

Speedy Recovery.

Wendy-

Thank you!! :thumbsup2 :cool1:

Lisa

[alwayslisad]

Lisa - you will be in my thoughts tomorrow - remember to listen to the doc -- I never do - and it usually backfires on me!!

funny just herard on the news:

911 call:

Operator: 911 state your emergency
caller: someone is really drunk driving down Grantham Road
Operator: are you following them
caller: No I am them
Operator: You am them?


ehehehehe
- gotta love it --- thank goodness the operator was able to get more information and she pulled over and waited for police to arrest her! :scared1:

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

Lisa,

Let me know how things go! I'll be thinking about you tomorrow. As far as behaving as a patient...well, I never do! I always tell the nurses there is procedure...and then there is me -- LOL!!!

Yep, I'm one of THOSE!!!

With the n1h1 the way it is you better believe that they will be out in full force with the wipes:thumbsup2:thumbsup2

Rob

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

So, I just got word that our shirts were printed today :worship::woohoo::cheer2:! Now the bad news is that you will get them next week and it will add to your laundry loads. The good news is that you will get then next week!

I should have the shirts in my possession by Wednesday or Thursday -- it depends on a few factors like dry time, packing, etc.

I'll post a note as to when I ship them out to all of you (and will likely post before then too)!

It's getting close...and I'm not ready yet!

[bigeskimodog]

Hello. Came up for air from work and it's only 19 days left!!!!

Anyone ever shipped a box to DCL prior to their cruise? If so how soon can one ship it?

thx

I look at it as forced rest. Enjoy that aspect. I often wish I had one of those anesthesia machines in my home....HA!

We'll be thinking of you tomorrow!

[SteffyLou]

I LOVE them!!!

I always used to joke and say I'm Cinderella so how perfect is that!

If you had extra that would be awesome if you could print them out. I'd be more than happy to give you something for it.

I had 2 students get sick in front of me today. I REALLY hope the flu doesn't go around in my classroom. Lots of vitamin C, handwashing, and sanitizing for me!

Boxes Sent the Ship Ahead of Cruise - PLEASE follow these instructions carefully!!!!!! UPDATED AS OF 2/25/2009
• ONE box per stateroom, no exceptions.
• The package must have the guest full name, ship, sailing date, stateroom number or GTY if you have not been assigned a stateroom number.
• The package also must have a packing slip attached to the outside of the box that details the contents of the package. For prescriptions, a copy of the prescription is sufficient. Your list may or may not be read but it must have one. Write packing slip on the outside of the envelope.
• NO FOODS/DRINKS OF ANY KIND, LIQUOR OF ANY KIND, FIREARMS, ETC.. Items that cannot be shipped to the Disney Cruise Line Warehouse and delivered to the ship include: food products (any and all food products including baby food/formula), beverages (liquor, water, etc.), chemicals, and luggage. These items will not be accepted at the warehouse and will be returned. This may cause the dogs to hit on your box and that would be a bad thing.
• The required size of the cartons you are shipping down have to be about the size of a record storage box 12 inches on a side and should not weigh more than 20 lbs. (This has been asked personally by Dave Adams who is the owner)

Address your package(s) to:
Disney Cruise Line Warehouse
Guest Name / Stateroom # (GTY, if you don't know what it is when you send the package)
8633 Transport Drive
Orlando, FL 32832
Phone: 407-566-8196

In the bottom left corner of the top of the package put the following information: ATTN: HOUSEKEEPING
*Name
*Sail Date
*Ship
*Stateroom Number
*Packing slip that details contents of the package (for prescriptions, a copy of the prescription is sufficient)
• Packages must arrive by Friday by 3:00pm for the 7-Night Cruise on the Disney Magic (Saturday).
• Packages must arrive by Friday by 3:00pm for the 4-Night Cruise on the Disney Wonder (Sunday).
• Packages must arrive by Wednesday by 3:00pm for the 3-Night Cruise on the Disney Wonder (Thursday).

If your box is hit on by the screening dog or chosen for additional screening they will open the list and the box and look through it. They will close it back up and provided nothing bad is in it then it will be in your room as usual later after boarding. These boxes will be coming on the ship with the crew mail among other things so they may be in the staterooms later then they were before as they are low priority in the scheme of things for Disney.

[SteffyLou]

Thank you! That is so nice of you! When we went on our last cruise DH was asking me about all the magnets on peoples doors and I convinced him that people had bought them all as part of DIsney packages. lol. :lmao: He believed me. I just didn't know.

[ICEMANPAD]

The collective doors of the people on this thread will be completely covered...someone gave us some signs in pieces that curve around the room numbers, such as mouse ears etc. (I am letting her remain anonymous), but they are very nice.

Chuck:cool1:

[sherreis]

Welcome Shannon and family.

Lisa – best wishes tomorrow. Hopefully, Chuck will give us a quick update that you’re OK.

Steffy – also take vitamin D. You can google to see how much.

[sherreis]

Our exciting evening -- DH and I went to Ravens stadium for a fundraiser for the players' charities. Was a nice evening out and got to meet Joe Flacco, our quarterback and several other players. I've never seen hands that were as big as Joe's - they were massive. My first comment to DH was I'm glad he's not a GYN :rotfl:

[alwayslisad]

Good morning everyone!!

10 days for us -- soon in the single digits!! oh my goodness
Dboss is out with H1N1 - EEEEEEEEEkkk -- oh my goodness if I get it now she will regret it!!

I just found out that my cruising buddy from 2006 is on the same cruise - how in the world we didnot figure this out sooner is beyond me. She and I were partners in crime in the SPA and then on the Stingray City excursion... it was awesome. We are friends on facebook - but for some reason never put two and two together.

So when I posted that I would be on the MAGIC for GOBBLE GOBBLE day - she sent me a private message saying - WE are cruising the 21st through
28th any chance you are on that cruise?" YOU BETTTTTTCHAAAA we are :) :) :cloud9:

[sherreis]

Good morning everyone!

18 more days until we cruise!!!!!!

[SteffyLou]

Thank you for the advice. I need to do whatever I can to keep H1N1 out of my house until after this cruise! Although it really wouldn't be fun to have it during the holidays.

[sherreis]

[The LK 4]

Thanksgiving is the premier of "Old Dogs", the new John Travolta/Robin Williams movie, so we should have the PremEAR at sea at midnight. :thumbsup2

[ratt1345]

There sure will be a lot of 3D movies on the cruise!!! May watch "Up". I haven't seen that one.

Karen, you worried me for a moment with the 'bad news'. Hey, if I have to do wash, one more thing won't matter!!!:rotfl:

Well, we are well on our way to 4000 posts!!! I know we can make it to 5000 as planned. Only 17 more days to post before the cruise.

I hope Lisa's procedure went well. It was today, right?

I am disappointed to hear that. Not disappointed enough to cancel, mind you, :lmao: but was really hoping we'd get to see "Princess & the Frog" onboard. I'd rather see "P & F" than "Old Dogs". I'll continue to keep my fingers crossed.... ;)

[ICEMANPAD]

Well Lisa is home and resting (sorta)/(un)/(quite - when she has had a pill) - pick one - comfortably....The procedure went well and they released her about 4 hours later...

As to movie premiers, they sometimes like to keep the good ones secret..

Chuck:cool1:

And the countdown continues...

20, 19, 18.....

Last Spring when we cruised Hannah was not on the movie list but there was a PremEar at Sea. I know they are preparing for the Princess and the Frog to show on the ship as I talked to my friends last Saturday.

Michelle, I sure hope your friend is right about them showing it during OUR cruise popcorn:: :cool1::woohoo::yay::cheer2: and not a week or 2 later.

(who is this friend, BTW, with such interesting inside info?) :ssst:


Lisa, feel better soon! So glad to hear all went well today.


alwayslisad -- how funny about your friends being on the same cruise! Last time we cruised, DH's coworkers were on the same sailing, and they didn't realize it until a week or 2 ahead. Great minds... :laughing: Hope you're able to steer clear of the germs -- it's getting tougher and tougher to do!


Told DD10's teachers today that she'll be out Thanksgiving week. They didn't even bat an eye... whew!

Anyone know if they still show movie on Deck 9 after the Pirate Party? They showed POTC in our last cruise. It was really enjoyable with the stars above and just relaxing on the lounge chair. It helped that the ice cream bar was still opened too.

Just 18 days to go...

We come from a small town named Pine Bush in the lower hudson valley. And you?


we are in a tiny town called waverly...it's about 30 mins from binghamton or 2 hrs from syracuse.
Welcome Shannon and family.

Lisa – best wishes tomorrow. Hopefully, Chuck will give us a quick update that you’re OK.

Steffy – also take vitamin D. You can google to see how much.

thank you for the welcome!!

When we were on the 4th of July 3 day cruise this year the big screen show was Ratatoille (which I probably spelled wrong). :happytv:

Only twelve more days to teach... I CAN do it, I CAN do it, I CAN do it!

Here is a question- how expensive is like food on the St. Maarten and St. Thomas? If we really aren't doing any heavy shopping what is a safe and comfortable amount to bring? Also, I've read you can rent beach chairs and towels at some of the beaches. Around how much do they charge for that?

Food is some what pricey in port. A hamburger and fries will be $10-12 on the beach,we paid $9 for a beef burrito on our cruise this summer. Beach chair rental is around $10- 15 for the day. Beach towels are available from DCL as you get off the boat for free. I usually take $150-200 in cash with me to the beach, this covers $$ for cab fare to and from the beach,a light snack and cokes at the beach and a $$ for para sailing ,jet ski ,horse back riding or what ever we want to do while there.

[ICEMANPAD]

Hi everyone!! :) Thank you all for all of the kind wishes!! I appreciate them!! :thumbsup2 The surgery went very well!! I was wheeled into the operating room at 7:30 am, went to sleep, was wheeled into the recovery room at 9:00 am and wheeled to the car at approx. 12:30pm. Thank goodness for modern technology!!

It is great to be home and to be dising!! However, when I finally made it up the stairs this evening, Chuck told me that I was walking like an elderly person. I may be using more elevators than I usually use on the Magic in a few weeks!! :rolleyes1

Lisa

FE question-Are we going to be assigned a specific day to hand these out?

15 days and counting......:banana:

[ratt1345]

Lisa, it's great to hear that everything went well. I have been telling co-workers, friends, family member, etc. about your surgery or procedure. You are the one that had it changed from after the cruise to before, right? They can't believe that you would be able to go on the cruise. I had to tell them that your Doc said you could and even he didn't, you were going no matter what!!!!:lmao::lmao:

16 more days and I will be at the hotel, but it officially begins at 5pm that afternoon. So that means I have 388 hours from right now!!!! I know, I am counting hours now.:rotfl2::rotfl:

I had to tell them that your Doc said you could and even he didn't, you were going no matter what!!!!:lmao::lmao:

16 more days and I will be at the hotel, but it officially begins at 5pm that afternoon. So that means I have 388 hours from right now!!!! I know, I am counting hours now.:rotfl2::rotfl:

Charlie

I am right there with you counting the days down:lmao::lmao: it can not get here fast enough:thumbsup2 Rachel and her BFF are so excited that they have their own room at the Hyatt.

[ICEMANPAD]

Welcome to the gang Shannon! :thumbsup2 :cool1:


Charlie-
You are correct. My surgery was originally scheduled for Dec. 29th. The Dr's office called to move up the date. I only agreed after I was assured that I would be able to travel on the Magic. However, right now the only traveling I am doing is between the computer chair and the sofa...:sick:

Charlie,

(GULP)...3..8..8..hours...from now :faint:. Please tell me that those are awake hours only...not sleeping hours too? :scared1:

I'm not sure that it's all going to get done!

Karen

[bigeskimodog]

Welcome Shannon and family!

We have a 9 yr old daughter, Emma too!



FE question-Are we going to be assigned a specific day to hand these out?

15 days and counting......:banana:

Trace,

I believe it's whenever you want and hence the surprise. I heard it could be once or multiple times. It's really up to you.

Just beware each time it'll be a good exercise with 30+ rooms on FE.

Chun

[ICEMANPAD]

20, 19, 18, 17...


Chuck:cool1:

[ICEMANPAD]

I saw the bill for those extras on my Blackberry...no one here will complain about our FE gifts...

Chuck:cool1:

[ICEMANPAD]

FE's can be done once or multiple times...we have done it both ways, sometimes as much as 5 or 6 times, depending on what we picked up, like, for instance, a whole bunch of stuff from Oriental Trading...while we could have done it in fewer trips, we chose the exercise...and it IS a lot of exercise, especially if you take the stairs and skip the elevators...

This year, it will be one or two trips i think for us, but only b/c we will be using larger packaging of sorts...

Chuck:cool1:

[Ima Princess]

Another FE question for those who've done it before...

How do you organize your stuff in advance? :confused3 I have a variety of things -- one (the "main" item) is one per room, others are one per person or child.

I'd love to hear your suggestions and/or what has worked for you in the past. I was thinking I'd pre-bag items per room in a ziploc or something. Since there are multiple FE pockets, I don't want to put them all in one gift bag, as I'd like to put items in the appropriate pockets. (I'm assuming most have some kind of label on each pocket...)

TIA! :thumbsup2

[cruisecrzy]

I have gifts that are one per stateroom. I simply write the stateroom on the item then deliver.

As for the rest I make little bags up with the items inside. On each bag i put a tag with the cabin number and persons name. that way each child and the bigger kids aka adults gets a little baggie.

[alwayslisad]

Hello all - 9 days 18 hours till I depart :) :)

I did a bag for each room - I hope I did it ok :confused3 First time I have ever done it - so I did a room gift -

Lisa hope you are feeling better every hour :)

I am getting more and more excited :)

[The LK 4]

3600!

[lynnivey]

I'm doing my part towards the 5000!! I received my documents today!!:banana: I've put everything together; passports, signed documents and tickets.

I'm trying to decide if I want to work on FE's tonight or start searching for magnets to print off at work tomorrow! Someone made me a HALO one for my Garrett but of course I didn't email it to myself to print so I have to go search for it.

I'll post more later if I can come up with something!

Lynn:flower3:

[bigeskimodog]

5000 easy if we all post 10 messages per day before the curise.

Doing my part today.

[bigeskimodog]

Just check the room inventory on DCL. Looks like there are still some Cat 6 and 4 left. Here's hoping for some pixie dust for upgrading at port.

Chun

[alwayslisad]

ok - so 10 posts a day

[alwayslisad]

each one of us - needs to post - before we leave.

Well I can try to do my best.

It is very cold here in NH right now.

they are even saying we will get SNOW tonite

[alwayslisad]

OH My camera broke - of course - right before the cruise. I don't think I am going to get another yet. I will let DH take video's and bring my camera.

If I keep hitting it in between pictures it may work

[alwayslisad]

wow that was only three and this one is 4

[alwayslisad]

I am trying to think of what excites me more about going on the Magic this time. Compared to the other times. I honestly don't know. I think it is just getting away, enjoying the cruise, being a child when I want on the cruise, all the people watching.

As for the food, I am kinda picky ( you would NEVER know by my size though)
I ate steak or chicken each night on the past cruises. Now there are no steaks each night so I am probably going to eat CHICKEN each night. I may try some things, but I am timid. My Dd cannot wait till she gets on the Magic to eat Shrimp / Seafood / Lobster / Escargo and so much more. DH loves all kinds of food....

has anyone done any magnets yet? i've been trying to find the search function on the dis...but i've not had any luck!!! am i just overlooking it? i wanted to search the magnet thread for thanksgiving designs, but i can't find the search.

[SteffyLou]

Haven't seen the MJ movie yet but family and friends have done nothing but raved about it. Friday night date night this week is This Is It. My brother said it would have been an absolutely amazing show.

I'm trying to decide if I'm going to do New Moon before the cruise or wait seeing that before the cruise would be a packed, late showing on Friday. I'm really excited to see this one. Team Jacob all the way. I'd LOVE the author to write a different ending with Bella and Jacob together. I really just don't get the Edward thing.

I can not wait for the sea bass entree from Lumieres. My absolutely favorite meal.

[alwayslisad]

I will wait to see NEW MOON till I get home. We have a place here that we get to watch movie and eat dinner :) we love it there -- nice comfy seats and a table :) So that is our plan on Sunday when we return

[alwayslisad]

ok I did 8 --- wait now 9....

one more and I met my goal!:cloud9:

Anyone doing a Thanksgiving dinner with family before or after the cruise? This will be my first Thanksgiving away from home and of course I'm worried about where my parents (who's divorced) will do for their dinner. Initially my mom and aunt were going to hang out and possibly my oldest brother eat with them. I asked my middle brother if he would make sure our dad had a place to eat. They live in Jacksonville, FL so it's not easy to get him down there. Now I find out that my aunt is going to my cousin's in VA and won't be home with my mom. My brother in J'ville invited my mom down and I think she has forgotten that she was going to dog sit for me. Now I get to stress where everyone will eat and who will take care of my dog. My best friend is going to take the puppy for the week but I didn't want to uproot my old dog. Anyway, that's my new subject for a post!

Thanks for listening!

Lynn -- just the other day I thought of making Thanksgiving dinner the weekend before we leave, but, then, I decided "no way." For 2 yrs I've been looking forward to Mickey doing the cooking for us this year. DD and her family will be going to her MIL.

Have you looked into (possibly) having a pet-sitter come to your house every day to check-in on, and feed your dog? That might relieve a LOT of stress. We uprooted our dogs and took them to a vet/shelter when we went on summer vacation a few years ago. They whimpered when we left (I knew they'd EVENTUALLY be okay, but our 7-year old dd cried and cried.:sad1: We were all miserable the first day of our trip.) We found a "pooper-scooper" man who not only comes to our house and feeds our dogs, but also takes them on walks and brushes them. He charges $17.00 per day for spending a half and hour with them (also feeds our indoor cat, and scoops the litter box.) It might seem like a bit spend, but SOOO worth it. HTH!:)

Looks like the search function is out of commission right now. I am close to done with ours.

[dustermom02]

Wow! I work some overtime and get 6 pages behind! 7.25 more hours of comp time though - who-hoo! I'm not stressing about vacation days anymore at the new job.

Can you guys log in from work or what? I can't, that's my real problem and why I can't keep up, I think.

Wonderful to have more people join - that's great!

But seriously, wasn't this ticker just at 20 months?? and somehow it got to 20 days?? I'm starting to stress about every thing that still has to be done in the next couple weeks now. And our calendar is crazy busy the next couple weeks. I guess it doesn't really matter though as long as we remember our passports and medications we can pretty much replace anything else. And I did remember to call to get my disney visa points converted to our dream reward card so that's good.

And I saw something about a mickey vest? Where is that from? I've been loooking for a mickey bowtie and cumberbund for 2 years now. I'd love to surprise dh and ds with those!

[lck33]

Oh my gosh! Two days since I was last checking in and I had to read through seven pages of posts! :scared1: :scared1:Holy Moly, I missed alot.

Lisa - I really hope you start feeling better soon. Glad the surgery went well. Take it really easy and rest.

We are like everyone else, getting so excited yet we still have so much to do and so little time to do it in. Time is flying by.

Had class last night, yep-still going to school, and kept thinking, 2 more weeks, 2 more weeks, :woohoo:

There are two more before it. Once it open, you should be able to use the "Search this thread" function. It is located right under the Disboards.com blue banner in the red menu area. (the one that starts with UserCP) Should be the 2nd to last option.

And of course DM got something herself. Meanwhile all Dad got was the exercise to carry two shopping bags home. :confused3

[bigeskimodog]

Regarding New Moon, we are probably the only people that still haven't seen Twilight. DM read the novel but she wasn't crazy about it. We first decided to let the hype died down before seeing it in theater. Then got busy with DS's activities and completely forgot.

Well I just got Twilight via Netflix. Saw the New Moon preview and thought we should watch the first one before seeing the 2nd. But again, we will wait till after the initial rush.

Are you sure there's no steak every night? I thought you can always order steak even though it's not listed. The dining room has been fairly accomodating to our past requests. All you have to do is ask.

My wife swore she got them to bring down a Palo desert, which I couldn't remember. But I learned enough to never doubt her. ;)

Anyone else getting just a tad bit nervous about Hurricane Ida? I'm hoping it is too far in advance to bother our trip. Could just be the worrier in me.

I had 2 students out yesterday with the flu and the teacher next to me is out with shingles. I'm surrounded right now with sickness. lol You have no idea how much we all need a break to rest up. 11 more days of teaching!

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

So not even one day and I had about 2.5 pages to read!

Excitement is definitely brewing here. Looks like we will get the shirts today!!!!! Unfortunately, with eveything going on tonight, I will not get the packed up for shipping until Friday evening -- but they will go in Saturday's mail. Lisa D -- remind me again when you leave? Can you PM me with a phone number so we can chat about shipping times?

Lisa E, hope you are feeling better today. Remember all those things grandma used to tell you...get plenty of rest, drink plenty of liquids and eat chicken soup!

Has anyone looked at the kids thread? There seems to be a fascination with....pie! It's really cute and funny. My Andrew doesn't seem to understand why all the kids love pie so much which strikes me as really funny since he is a fan of eating just about anything that doesn't eat him!

We went to Disneyland Paris and the camera quit working on me. To make matters even worse, we had a video camera as well and it also went on the blink.

For this trip, I am making sure to have extra batteries with me for the camera so I don't get caught without any.

Hey everyone!
hope you are all getting excited!

I'm actually trying to talk myself into losing a couple of pounds before we cruise so that inevitable 3 or 4 lbs I DO gain in the week won't be so bothersome to me, especially as it will converge with the beginning of the holiday season!

Fortunately the swine flu seems to have made its way through our area already, although my 11 y.o. nephew in Rhode Island was hospitalized with it over the weekend (and one of his 7th grade colleagues died of it :sad1:). Fingers crossed for everyone to stay healthy from now until the cruise.

Other than that, DD is dreaming of Mickey Bars. She also told me last night that DexH said that he hoped it was ok if we didn't spend all of our time together because being with DD and me (and our bickering, as all teen daughters do with their mothers) makes him crazy.... hahahaahhahaha, my master plan is working :lmao:

Of course nowaday any cell phone will take pictures too.

Team Jacob all the way. I'd LOVE the author to write a different ending with Bella and Jacob together. I really just don't get the Edward thing.

Yay, finally someone who makes sense! I just don't get the Edward thing either. I've never read any, but my co-worker tells me there is a lot of fan fiction available on the web where Bella and Jacob are together.

Lisa - that sounds marvelous. I would love to be home watching that right about now. However, I am in up to my elbows at work. 2 more weeks.....:yay:

BTW, for the record, I loved the twilight series too and can not wait to see New Moon. But I am one of those Edward fans. :scared1::rotfl:

Gotta go for now.

Crazy day today also... Just trying to finish up all those last minute projects. I have been working on some additional graphics that I will post to help the count cause.

Hope everyone is having a good Thursday.

Although it was nice to see DCL....I would much rather be at work right now rather than feeling the way I am feeling!!! I will only have 3 1/2 days in the office prior to our cruise to be able to catch up on 2 weeks of work!! :scared1:

:scared1: Boss tested positive for H1N1 - dannnnnngggggggg :scared1:
I went to walmart and bought some AIRBORNE and just guzzled a glass -- I will go ballistic if I get sick!

it is so hard to imagine that next week at this time I will be one day away from departing for Florida.

We are so excited to spend the week before in Orlando seeing NASA and SeaWorld - we are thinking of two days at both since the shuttle is probably a no go..

Charlie's family (cousins) are down in Orlando - so we will meet up with them off and on during the vacation :)

Friday afternoon Dsis and Dbil will come in - I am going to pack some lunch and dinner foods from teh condo ( anyone know if there is a microwave at the Hyatt?? )

I sure hope I can order a steak each night as Chun said - I dont eat sauces on my food either - so I am really boring - chicken is usually baked her with spices - but MY spices - eheheh :woohoo:

I have a list of foods I cannot eat due to colon issues ( I had my colon explode in 2003 - three weeks before my first cruise!!! - I went on my cruise btw ) and already have many foods planned out - but if I can have a steak and tater as a back up - I will be happy happy happy! :cloud9:

Just check the room inventory on DCL. Looks like there are still some Cat 6 and 4 left. Here's hoping for some pixie dust for upgrading at port.
