Arrg!

:cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::yay::yay::yay: :yay::yay:

I was really afraid, y'all would hit it tonight. We're going to the Cubs/Astros game tonight.

[mickeymo]

Hey, I have to share the credit with you!!! If it wasn't for your quiz, I don't think we would have gotten to the pirate until later....

[3princessMommy]

I got the "you're posting too fast" message and had to wait.

Congrats Mo! Great racing!

Lauren is taking French in high school. When we were in Paris last summer it really made me want to learn French. The scene at the bistro with our friends where the poor waiter spoke no English and us no French was absolutely hilarious. The owner was in the background rolling on the floor. Lauren asked for the bill in French - and the waiter was like "WHAT?" finally had to show him the iPhone so that he could see what we were trying to say....

I can usually figure out Italian and Spanish - French was more difficult.

Worked out yesterday - but supposed to do so again tomorrow - too bad mean boss person scheduled a meeting in the middle of my workout! :mad:

Of course, instead of doing it tonight - I'm snacking and chattin' on the DIS!!!:rotfl:

I have to laugh - it catches me off guard to see "tonight" at 3:00 in the afternoon....

[3princessMommy]

Mo - what does your siggie mean? PDFG??? :confused3

Pixie Dust for a DIS cruise friend's ongoing health concerns who was supposed to join the Blabbermouth Group on our 2006 cruise. Unfortunately, he was not able to join us on the cruise. He did travel down to join a few of the pre-cruise meets and He watched us sail away from the jetty beyond the pier - it was a bittersweet sail away. Our group still chats and we're hoping to coordinate a reunion cruise so he can sail away with us next time!

[tinkerbell_29]

I think this usually means Crystal Palace. I took me a while to remember it though. There are just so many abbreviations, it's impossible to keep up with them all.

What time in the AM should we leave CBR to get to RD at MK? We have an ADR at CRT and we want to use FP for BTMRR before PHing to DHS for ToT, F! and EMH.

If you can understand all that, there's something seriously wrong with you.

CP does stand for crystal Palace sorry have a bad habit of abrev everything. Oh my i could read the whole sentence and knew what it is saying. I'm in trouble.

Virgil,

I guess I lucked out - I did my homestay the summer of 84 during the LA Olympics. Everywhere I went, everyone wanted to practice their English. Then again maybe I didn't luck out - I had to sing the national anthem every time it was shown (and they televised all the events and medal ceremonies...) - It seemed like the US won every medal that year!!!

[mickeymo]

Forgot, I guess I need to choose my pirate name...

How about "Pirate Cavendish" since we were talking about PEI and Anne of Avonlea around that time...

Yep! Bedtime for me!

Night all!

(Can't wait to read everyone's answers in the morning!!!:thumbsup2)

[bigAWL]

1: What is your favorite movie genre? Action/Adventure

2: If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be? Star Wars would also be my choice if allowed. Otherwise, I'll go with It's a Wonderful Life. I truly get choked up every time I watch it every Christmas Eve.

3: What kind of music do you like? Classic rock from 70s and 80s as well as classical.

4: How do you like to listen to it? (I-pod, CD, cassette, good ol' LP, etc.) CD is still preferred, but I'm really starting to appreciate the convenience and packaging of the whole iPod/iTunes system.

5: If you could go to one place to visit - where would it be? I've always wanted to see Angkor Wat, and was very close when we visited Thailand. The the extra hop over to Cambodia didn't fit into our plans.

6: Do you speak a foreign language? If so, which one? If not, which one do you wish you'd learnt? A little bit of Fench, a little bit of Spanish, a little bit of Russian, and a little bit of German. I'm too horrible a student and too reluctant a speaker to learn any language all the way. I have to say, I think Russian is my favorite.

7: If you could meet one person on earth, who would it be? I was trying to think of someone noble like Nelson Mandela, Barak Obama, or the Pope. But honestly, I'd love to meet Ozzie Smith - my favorite past player on my favorite baseball team.

8: What car do you drive? If Joann#2 is claiming the Toyota Highlander (I guess the title is in her name), I guess I'm left with the Chrysler Town&Country - the minivan.

9: What is your dream job? Travel review writer (if only I didn't have to write so much).

10: How long have you been planning this cruise? See Joann#2's answer.

10: How long have you been planning this cruise? 2+ years

[noahsmom]

My favorite Monty Python is Meaning of Life - I laughed so hard at that movie!

This was fun, so many great answers.

[jlawall]

just okay? how does it compare to Trunk and Cinnamon bays? Okay to get there in short time we are in port?

I think there is plenty of time to get to St John...when we get home I'm going to check prices.

[gonecrusin]

1: What is your favorite movie genre? Romantic comedy and musicals running a close 2nd.

2: If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be? The Holiday at the moment. White Christmas is an all time favorite.

3: What kind of music do you like? All, especially those that I can sing along with. It depends on my mood or what I am doing at the time. In the car it's definitely, sing-along. Radio when I want someone else to make the choice.

4: How do you like to listen to it? (I-pod, CD, cassette, good ol' LP, etc.) CD. I tried an i-pod but there were too many choices :confused3

5: If you could go to one place to visit - where would it be? Tahiti with a stop at the new vacation club in Hawaii. Actually, I want to get on the DCL ship in CA and cruise to Hawaii visit the DVC (when it's finished) continue on the ship to Tahiti stay a few days and get back on the ship and redo what I had done from the start backwards.

6: Do you speak a foreign language? If so, which one? If not, which one do you wish you'd learned? Elementary School French, High School Spanish and I'm not very good at either. Are you kidding I'm still trying to perfect my English :rotfl: I just don't seem to be speaking the same language with my kids and their friends most times.

7: If you could meet one person on earth, who would it be? Pope John Paul II, I have always admired him. Present day, Michelle O'Bama

8: What car do you drive? White (no my favorite color) Ford Escape with varing MM antenna toppers depending on the time of year.

9: What is your dream job? Main Street gossip in WDW. Of course if my memory gets any worse I wouldn't be able to remember what the gossip was from one side of the street to the other.

10: How long have you been planning this cruise? Since I realized that we couldn't affort to go on the European 2010 cruise. It's always when we are coming to the end of one cruise we are thinking where the next will be. We just can't get enough.

[3princessMommy]

Just in case anyone was still confused as to where we actually live - Maybe Jon Stewart's recent program can clarify:

http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=222799&title=bad-korea-move

*Disclaimer - You may not want to watch the entire clip with small children in the room, after minute 2 - it gets crass and has absolutely nothing to do with Burkina Faso! But the first part is funny...:rotfl2::lmao::rotfl:

That reminded me of a picture I took last summer in Paris.... I was thinking of you...

That was soooo funny JoAnn #2!!!!! :rotfl::rotfl: And you are right, now I can picture EXACTLY where Burkina Faso is! Jon Stewart sounded just like I did the first time I tried to pronounce the "O" capital. :lmao::lmao:

[3princessMommy]

We're part of the hard to pronounce capital club:

Ouagadougou
Nouakchott

Isn't it 100 days away now? Or is my countdown clock off. I'll start paying more attention to the thread not that we are much closer to the sailaway party. Been reviewing all the choices for shore excursions. I'll probably do a beach in St. Thomas/St. John - any recommendations?

Welcome back!

We have JoAnn #1 doing research in St. Thomas right now - hopefully next week we'll have a full read-out. Although she did recommend one beach on St. John already -- I'll have to look back for the name.

[jlawall]

Ok research is almost over......we're at the airport......I have definitely learned a lot.....I plan to look over the DCL website to price excursions......any beach on ST John is fabulous...we like Trunk Bay or Cinnamon Bay

Boy, did I need that good news:yay:....we've had a rough week - lost a really GREAT friend, who was also coming on this cruise......never, EVER experienced what I experienced this week. In fact, not just me, our whole family.....Enough said...don't wanna bring you down!:grouphug:

Bob, Tyler and I are headed to Washington DC early tomorrow morning, for a short vacation, coming home Sunday night....we were going to cancel our short trip, but we really, really need to get away....I won't be taking our computer so I want to wish everyone a very Happy Easter.....enjoy your time with family and friends.:hug:

[jfis1020]

are heading out of town! We are heading to Cincinnati (again, you'll find we do this a lot during baseball season) for the Reds/Pirates. I will return tomorrow since DS12 is being confirmed on Sunday!:lovestruc

I am with Lucy............it's been a tough week here too. Our sympathies go out to the Williams' and their friends. We had the privledge of meeting the deceased and doing the Princess Breakfast with him and his family a couple of years ago. The world is a better place because Dave spent time here........'nuf said.

Under 100 days.................THAT'S AWESOME!:woohoo::woohoo:

[Dizzyworld]

Hi Everyone............I really need to get back on these boards. I am so behind by at least 40 pages. It looks like a lot is going on. With the spring break and my guys' trip to New Mexico this summer, there is only so much time in a day.

Williams' family have a safe trip. Hugs to all of about your friend. :grouphug:

[Dizzyworld]

SECOND BRUNCH GROUP

Still looking for people to sign up for a second DIS group brunch in the private dining room.

We can go up to 14 people but only have 5 friends at this point. Once we get the numbers, I will need reservation munbers to fax to DCL.

So far:
Dizzyworld (1)
luv2boys (2)
Ramule (2)

Please join us!! Let me know so we can get this party started. :banana:

Please note that if we are lucky enough to get the private room and you have another brunch reservation, they will cancel your reservation. A person can only hold one brunch reservation until they board.

[Dizzyworld]

Finally caught up....I think......

Getting some things done for the cruise this week. We finally broke down and applied for our passports today. I had to have my DS and mine photos re-done from earlier this week. From the look of the photo apparently my DS had spent time in prison. :lmao: It was a terrible photo. Plus they made him put his short hairs behind his ears??? And I looked like the crypt keeper. I asked my DH if that was what I really looked like because it wasn't the face I usually see in the mirror. Plus I ended up with blonde hair when my hair is brown. Love the new pictures now. Glad I had them re-done.

I have 48 individual FE gifts that just need to be packed. Not sure what I will do if we go over 48 since I can't get anymore. I wanted to be ahead of the game this time. Last time I did Disney Cruise CDs for each cabin, and personalized DIS group logo chocolate bars. And for a few friends, I made Mickey Mouse flannel pillowcases. All of this took time, although I did like the CDs. A fellow DISer had made and gave away 2 CDs of Disney cruise music plus some other summer songs. I took just the Disney songs and copied to one CD. It worked out.

I tried to pay off the cruise today but the AAA agent is away until Monday.

[Dizzyworld]

Joann #2....love the Easter Egg Hunt pictures!!!! What beautiful girls you have in your life. Your egg hunt photos brought back so many memories of egg hunts we used to host. We started small in the first year and ended up filling 2000 eggs for our next to the last egg hunt. It took forever. I remember the kids and I sitting around just filling eggs for a few days. The last egg hunt we had we changed it up a little since they were older. We did a night time egg hunt with flashlights. It was a lot of fun. Found some of those eggs in the summer though. Enjoy your other egg hunt this weekend.

[Dizzyworld]

And the last post for now..................

................for the FE list.......please add the following ages for my children:
Alex (15)
Allison (14)

Thanks.

[♥sassy♥tink♥]

please add the following ages for my children


Did I miss a request for kids ages etc? :confused3

DD - 16 Samantha (Sam)
DS - 10 Jackson (Jack)

DH - Steve

Have a great weekend everybody! :flower3:

[Dizzyworld]

Is there a name for our DIS group yet for this cruise?

:hug: Lucy, so very sorry for your loss.

I think we just say "Cruisin' to Tortola" as our Dis name for the cruise. :confused3

Is there a name for our DIS group yet for this cruise?

If you look at Jenny's post she has the emblem which says "Mutiny on the Magic" I think that's a good slogan for us! Hey Maryann, what's the name of that tshirt website? It's time to order our sweatshirts!:goodvibes

That's what I was wondering if that was the "official" slogan/logo for our group. I wasn't sure if I missed it reading all the pages to catch up.

[Dizzyworld]

Welcome back Dizzyworld! :banana:

Thanks. I can't believe how much I had missed. Once they added those teenagers to my class a few weeks ago, I was just wiped out on all levels. Who would have thought a handful could be so stressful? We are an adult program and they just aren't ready for it. :confused3 And I know I'm the last stop for them getting their diploma. Luckily I team teach with a wonderful woman who is there for support. She shares the same teenagers. Anyway, things should lighten up in a few short weeks. I only have 5 more math classes to teach.

The trip to New Mexico will be fun for my guys but we are now into fine tuning this trip. My DH is leading 23 people on this trip. First thing is to arrange transportation from where we live to Dullas Airport which is near DC and about 2 hours away from home. They haven't been given their flight times about told it would be around 7 AM. The return isn't any better. They should return around midnight. One estimate for 12 people was $900. When I think of the cost of a towncar to Port C., it doesn't sound so bad.

And I finally made reservations to WDW for the Food and Wine Festival for just my DH and I. I was excited because it was the first time I have ever recieved a pin code. Nice to save 40% off the resort rate. I've always wanted to go to this event and see the Halloween decorations. Still not sure I can leave the kids behind?

Nite all.....................

JoAnn - Our girls are 7, 5 & 2.

[3princessMommy]

Boy, did I need that good news:yay:....we've had a rough week - lost a really GREAT friend, who was also coming on this cruise......never, EVER experienced what I experienced this week. In fact, not just me, our whole family.....Enough said...don't wanna bring you down!:grouphug:

Bob, Tyler and I are headed to Washington DC early tomorrow morning, for a short vacation, coming home Sunday night....we were going to cancel our short trip, but we really, really need to get away....I won't be taking our computer so I want to wish everyone a very Happy Easter.....enjoy your time with family and friends.:hug:

Lucy - We are thinking about you! Wish I could be in DC this weekend to give you a big hug. :hug:

[3princessMommy]

Joann #2....love the Easter Egg Hunt pictures!!!! What beautiful girls you have in your life. Your egg hunt photos brought back so many memories of egg hunts we used to host. We started small in the first year and ended up filling 2000 eggs for our next to the last egg hunt. It took forever. I remember the kids and I sitting around just filling eggs for a few days. The last egg hunt we had we changed it up a little since they were older. We did a night time egg hunt with flashlights. It was a lot of fun. Found some of those eggs in the summer though. Enjoy your other egg hunt this weekend.

Thanks!

The eggs are all stuffed and ready to go for tomorrow. Now I just need to clean the house and figure out where I'm going to put 60 people for a brunch buffet. :confused3

[♥sassy♥tink♥]

Lucy - We are thinking about you! Wish I could be in DC this weekend to give you a big hug. :hug:

Yes Lucy.... just know that we are all thinking about you and your family.

[3princessMommy]

The trip to New Mexico will be fun for my guys but we are now into fine tuning this trip. My DH is leading 23 people on this trip. First thing is to arrange transportation from where we live to Dullas Airport which is near DC and about 2 hours away from home. They haven't been given their flight times about told it would be around 7 AM. The return isn't any better. They should return around midnight. One estimate for 12 people was $900. When I think of the cost of a towncar to Port C., it doesn't sound so bad.



You know we're from the Fairfax County area and when we go home for leave or training or something, we generally use hotwire or priceline. DH got us a 4-star hotel room in Tysons Corner for $80/night for this summer. Maybe you should consider spending the night before the early morning flight?

Did I misread your post? Are you bringing 23 people on this cruise!?!?! :scared1::scared1::scared1:

[3princessMommy]

Sorry about the long string of posts - our internet has been out for the past couple of days, so I was catching up! :thumbsup2

[3princessMommy]

Anyone know where the cruise logo went for the siggies? :confused3

Mine just shows a red x.

[noahsmom]

Thanks!

OMG :scared1: 60!? wow, I thought my group of 15 was bad. I got all the leaves raked out of the perennial garden yesterday, the boys just have to finish bagging. DH got the waterfall running again- a sure sign of spring! Today I can concentrate on the house. :eek: It needs a lot of concentration.

I added DH and DS to above list (they want to come along with me :confused3)

[3princessMommy]

It's the whole church - so I'm guestimating for 60. I'm thinking that I'll have about 30 kids.

[Dizzyworld]

Did I misread your post? Are you bringing 23 people on this cruise!?!?! :scared1::scared1::scared1:

Thanks for the hotel thought.

My DH is taking 23 adults/teenagers to New Mexico for 12 days. They come back on the Monday night before the cruise. My DH won't return to work until that Wed. This is one of the reasons he won't be joining us on the cruise. :sad1: He just can't take off 4 weeks in a row. Since our DD will be going to high school this year, she wants to try out for the soccer team. This will be on Aug. 15, the time we usually take a family vacation. The timing just isn't working for us as a fmaily. This was cruise suppose to a mother-daughter cruise but I just can't live without my DS for 4 weeks in a row. (I am going to be terrible as an empty nester.) Good thing the two children get along very well.

The cruise will be a perfect trip for my DS since he will be hiking for 12 days and eating freezed dried food for all his meals except two. But watch out all the food places on DCL, he should gain back all the weight he will lose. :lmao: I couldn't have taken him if we were doing the parks.

Good Morning All!

Happy Easter to all who celebrate. We're spending the afternoon with John's aunt, uncle, cousins, and their Polish neighbors for our traditional Easter dinner. We will eat very well, including some traditional Polish dishes, or at least perogies and jurek. That's the phonetical spelling, jurek, a thin vinegar and milk based soup with bits of sausage. yum!!!! The neighbor took small portions of all the food to be blessed at the Polish church yesterday. We're also doing the traditional egg fight (bashing hard boiled eggs together - last one uncracked is the winner...) and hunting eggs. The cousins and neighbor kids all range from 41-12 :lmao:

I'm feeling rather old and showing my geekiness at the moment, two friends, here in Houston, took their children to a local high school for an Easter egg hunt yesterday. The twist is the eggs were dropped out of a helicopter. I commented on their facebook pages "As God is my witness I thought turkey's could fly..." Since both are in their early 20s and early 30s, neither got the WKRP reference... sigh...

Of course, it doesn't help I scored 13 out of 14 on the latest classic sitcom quiz on facebook... I think I need to get a life...

BOL! :rotfl: WKRP was my FAVORITE show! In fact, Noah would have been named Bailey if he had been a she. The turkey episode was and is a classic. I'm confused about eggs dropping out of a helicopter though - were they plastic eggs? Seamless? Definately an odd twist to an egg hunt.

I guess they were plastic eggs - they dropped about 30,000 and after all of that - her daughter didn't get any...:confused3

[3princessMommy]

Happy Easter everyone!

Just finished the Lockard Easter potluck and Egg Hunt!!! :cool1::cool1:

We had about 60-70 folks including abotu 25 kids. They definitely had fun finding all the eggs. I put out about 500 in the garden. I'm sure our gardener will find several on Tuesday! :rotfl::rotfl:

The nice thing about having a church function though is that everyone stays to help clean up too! My house is almost cleaner now after they left then it was when they got here!

BONUS - They did the dishes!!!! :worship::worship::worship:

So, now about an hour before exercise time at the school. :scared:

Wish we were closer to the Pirate! I'd love to get Captain Hoppy on Easter!!!!! :yay:

WKRP!! We have that on DVD. :happytv: My husband, being a former resident of Cincinnati, that is one of his favorites! They actually sell the WKRP T-shirts all over town!! :rotfl: That is a priceless show!

Just got back from church. DS12 was confirmed today. It's interesting....none of us are members there, but his asst. scoutmaster is the minister and they have such a wonderful relationship. He asked to become a member and takes it upon himself on Sundays to get me going and I take him. It was quite heartwarming. DH and I have talked that we wouldn't be surprised if he didn't become a minister or youth minister. He would be able to work with children, which he loves, and play his music, his total passion.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Heck we did more than this last Sunday......let's go for it!!!

[mickeymo]

I'm in for a race, I'll be around for a while, we're heading to dinner about 1:30...John does the holiday cooking and he did everything yesterday since he volunteers as the video director for our church on Sundays.

[mickeymo]

I'm not sure how much racing I'll be doing, the computer is running very slowly...

[3princessMommy]

DD is insisting that I teach her how to cross-stitch! Um - I have trouble with it sometimes and she's only 7!!!! Everytime she runs into something she can't do - "mommy can you help me PLEEEEEAAAASE!!!!"

[3princessMommy]

DD#2 wants to make dinner - macaroni & cheese with spinach lasagne.......................Hmmmm little too carb heavy for my tastes. :lmao:

I haven't cross stitched in YEARS! I am so undomestic! DS15 is cooking us breakfast right now! He is making pancakes...... I love when he cooks!:worship:

[3princessMommy]

There goes dinner - never mind - the girls have broken into their Easter candy. :headache:

Why is it that that stuff always tasted so good when I was a kid - but if I never eat another "Peep" again - I won't be sorry!:confused3

[mickeymo]

I'm not a peep person, my favorite are the Reese's peanut butter eggs.

[3princessMommy]

I'm not a peep person, my favorite are the Reese's peanut butter eggs.

I'll take anything peanut butter and chocolate anytime!!!! :thumbsup2

[mickeymo]

So do you like your Peeps fresh or stale :confused3 FIL loves them sitting out uncovered for a few days. The kids like to microwave them and watch them destruct.

[jfis1020]

I'm not a peep person, my favorite are the Reese's peanut butter eggs.

Russel Stover butter cream chocolate birds' nest with jelly bean eggs...AMAZING!! Fortunately, I coudn't find A ONE in the stores this year!:rolleyes1

[3princessMommy]

When DH and I met - we both discovered our mutual affinity for that particular culinary combination.

We walked into Baskin Robbins and both made a beeline for the peanut butter and chocolate ice cream.... One more sign that we were made for each other. :thumbsup2:love:

[mickeymo]

The kids were candle bearers this morning at church - it's been awhile for my son - at 6'4" his robe was a bit small.. I think the sleeves came up to his elbows :rotfl:

[3princessMommy]

DH loves the cream eggs - I can't stomach them - way too sweet!!!!

[mickeymo]

Dh makes a wonderful chocolate and peanut butter cookie. The darker the chocolate the better...:thumbsup2

[mickeymo]

I agree Cadbury eggs are way too sweet...

[mickeymo]

Who is coming out of the woodwork this time...:confused3

[3princessMommy]

Our church is much less formal - a group of us didn't like the existing church options (in English) here, so we started our own. We started with about 10 families and are now up to ten times that depending on the time of year. :thumbsup2

[mickeymo]

Hmm, getting closer...

I agree Cadbury eggs are way too sweet...

The things I like aren't the middle cream things. It's a type of chocolate that is a buttery cream (they are green). It's almost like a white choclate.

Those Cadbury things are NASTY!!

[3princessMommy]

Happy Easter everyone!!!!!

[mickeymo]

is it time?

[jfis1020]

Happy Easter everyone!!!!!

Congratulation Captain Slow Internet, Hoppy Easter!!!!:lmao:

That's Captain Hoppy to all of you - thank you! :thumbsup2

[mickeymo]

Back to washing the floors - dh cooked all day yesterday, the floors desperately need it...

[3princessMommy]

You guys are great! I've got to run to take the girls to ride bikes at the school and go for my mile walk. (I ate way too many Easter treats today!)

[Dizzyworld]

I guess they were plastic eggs - they dropped about 30,000 and after all of that - her daughter didn't get any...:confused3

I love this!! I wish I could have played along. What a fun idea. Did you take any pictures? I wish they had egg hunts for older kids like me.

Joann #2/Captain Hoppy.... Glad your Easter Day at your home went well. It sounded like a wonderful time together with good friends.

My DD, Alli, and I just made a ton of sugar cookies. One of her friends gave up cookies for lent and couldn't eat the gingerbread cookies I made for a soccer tournament. I felt so sad for her so I told her I'd made her cookies after Easter. Well, she didn't forget my offer and asked Alli if we could make sugar cookies. We make them thin like chips. You can eat them like chips too. We made so many that we have a few containers for other friends and family too. The house smells more like Christmas than Easter. Getting ready to go out to dinner.

Russel Stover butter cream chocolate birds' nest with jelly bean eggs...AMAZING!! Fortunately, I coudn't find A ONE in the stores this year!:rolleyes1

[lwilliam]

Congrats to Captain Hoppy!:cool1::banana::woohoo::yay:

We escaped all the Easter hoopla by heading to Washington....BIG mistake, BIG, BIG mistake. So crowded, rained on us all day Saturday, had to wait outside in the rain just to get INTO the museums, today it was freezing cold.
Needless to say we didn't see too much. Escaped back to our hotel Saturday night and watched TV (Tyler had his own TV, so it was a relaxing night). Got in big-time traffic coming home today. Glad to be home. :woohoo:

my one and ONLY favorite Easter candy: black jelly beans....LOVE them.:yay:

Easter dinner? we picked up Chinese food on the way home....perfect dinner.:rolleyes1:dance3:

[noahsmom]

It was a loooonnnngggg day and I'm wiped. Easter dinner was a success. I did 2 half hams and we probably could have done with 1 but 3 people I thought were coming didn't. Oh well, we have plenty for ham sandwiches. Unfortunately the time I was supposed to turn the oven on for the potatoes was the same time some people arrived (early) so I forgot. The potatoes were about 20 minutes late getting started. They were el dente. :confused3 The kids enjoyed the silly string fight, my 16 yr old niece got the brunt of it though. Her back was covered.

I did just call to make some ADR's! I could only book to the 14th because we are splitting our stay. She wouldn't let me book for the 2nd resort. She was trying hard to be helpful but not quite hitting the mark. DH needs to call tomorrow to book his golf. It's all so exciting. :banana:

I'll send you our address for some leftover ham for my DH:lmao::lmao:
Poor guy, loves ham, but the kids and I don't like it at all, so he never gets ham unless in a sandwich.....weird I am, I'm a PA Dutch girl that doesn't eat ham!:confused3:confused3:confused3 But I won't EVER, EVER turn down a Mickey bar!:lmao::lmao::lmao::mickeybar:mickeybar (saw an ice cream cart in Washington and they weren't selling ANY Mickey bars!:rotfl2::rotfl2:
(or Mickey waffles at the hotel!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)

[lwilliam]

but I hope they show the Hannah Montana movie on the cruise...if anyone wants me to take their daughters....you've got a date (I've already asked Jenny's daughter) - I LOVE to watch Hannah Montana...I'm not joking.....and I need an excuse (a young girl) to go see the movie with me:laughing:

[Ramule]

Happy Easter!!!!!:thumbsup2:yay: . Back from Branson, had a great trip,and now catching up,WOW, so many pages. Made Palo Brunch res, still hope we get enough for a group. Matt and I are going to try the fishing on Castaway,going in the morning at 9am.Thats it for now I think, Reds stink,but fantasy team is a beast.:goodvibes:banana:

My DS will be so jealous of the fishing trip. He has done it twice and loved it. He'd go again but I don't want to go on an excursion and leave his sister alone. I think he has to be 18 to go alone. The last time he went I stopped counting after he caught 12 fish including a 3ft. barracuda (which the Captain kept for dinner). It was my first time to fish and the first thing I hooked was a shark. :scared1: The captain asked if I wanted to reel it in. I said no thanks but my DS gave it a try but the shark bit off the line. It was an exciting couple of minutes.


Lucy.............sorry that your trip to DC was not the best. The weather has been crazy here in Maryland. I'm surprised the lines were so long to go to the museums. If you ever get the chance you should go to the Newseum that opened last year. My family has gone twice- once on a school field trip and then just with friends. The second time they went, they stayed about 8 hours.

I can't make our ressies for another week - what day (time?) did you make your Palo Brunch ressies for?

[Ramule]

Monday at 10:30

[lwilliam]

You are so better than me! I can't even stand a 15-minute yellow sponge cartoon. You'd never see me at the movie! :scared1::scared1::scared1:

I did my duty, and will NEVER forget the experience, when Tyler was VERY young and took him to the Barney show at Universal (my DH and other DS stayed outside)....Tyler LOVED Barney....that was very painful, but to see your little boy enjoying the show, was priceless....that was my painful duty as a mom!:rolleyes1

Oh, boy, I've got a few friends to see Hannah Montana....it's a date!:yay:
I know I won't be seeing this movie at home:sad2: don't have any little girls to take to movies.:sad1::sad1:

We will be making PALO dinner for one night because our older son has never had the chance to experience this wonderful dinner (never old enough). We have no idea what night but know we will make the ressie early so we can still attend the main dining room with our other son (goodness, we don't wanna miss a thing at dinner). We WERE going to make this ressie with our friends from home, but I'm haven't had the chance to talk with my girlfriend if she is still planning on the cruise (I hope!) now that her husband passed last week.:wizard: Bob and my goal is to talk her and her daughter into taking this cruise, she needs it this year. :hug:

Dizzyworld: I KNOW for a fact it was strange to be so cold and so crowded. When I was growing up (centuries and centuries ago:lmao:) Washington was the only vacation my family ever took - my great uncle was a head guard at the Smithsonian and guarded the Hope Diamond, so I'm an expert at the Smithsonian, although there are so many new things added. We never visited during Cherry Blossom time, and now I know why - the crowds. There were no blossoms left on the trees, due to the rain - I had a Japanese visitor stop and ask me where the cherry blossoms were.....hmmmmm, had no answer for her.:sad2: The new WWII memorial is beautiful, but it was so cold we couldn't enjoy ourselves.:sad2:

Today Bob took the day off (we thought we'd be in Washington today) and there is a ton of work to be done at home - namely the rest of our taxes and cleaning (although I can always find an excuse to ignore the cleaning).:scared1:

[3princessMommy]

I just sent the girls into the play room as a start to our packing organization. They had a task to pick their TOP 5 toys that they want to make sure to move this summer. They complained that that wasn't enough! They could never pick just five!!!! :scared1::scared1:

To speed them up - I told them that when they were done, they could go swimming. :rolleyes1

Turns out the delay was "Mom, we can't find enough that we really want to take!!!" :lmao::lmao::rotfl::rotfl2::rotfl2:

Great! now I can clean out the playroom while DH takes them to the pool! :thumbsup2

[starwood]

I'm paid in full!!!

I can't remember how many times we saw Barney at Universal. Matt's favorite part was Mr. Peek-a-Boo.

[Dizzyworld]

Lucy - that is exciting about your great uncle guarding the Hope Diamond. We try to get to the museums in DC at least once a year. I'm not big on crowds and traffic or we would probably go more often. (Funny the crowds at WDW don't seem to bother me. :lmao:) I liked the year we went to DC and saw the 75 decorated Mickey Mouse stautes. That was different and fun. I have never seen the Cherry Blossoms either. :confused3 I've seen the inside of the White House at Christmas time twice. The first time we just waited in a long line kind of like being at WDW. The second time in 2007, we had to get on a waiting list in June through our local representative. We had to be a group of 10. When our name did come up, we had to send in everyone's name and social security numbers. Then we were assigned our time to go. I miss the good old days. I can't believe how much there is to see there. I know we have only scratched the surface.

~~~~~~~~~~
Count me in on seeing the Hannah movie too. I doubt we will get to see it at the theaters here. Plus Alli wants to see the Jonas Brothers 3D movie again. I took her and some friends to their concert last year. It was a lot of fun. I wish I could take her again this year but they will be in DC the same night I have to pick up a group from Dullas returning from New Mexico. And isn't "17 Again" a Disney flick. I love Disney movies.

[Dizzyworld]

Paid off our cruise today too!!! :banana::banana:

I read somewhere that there is a new romantic comedy (Disney - of course) opening the week before our cruise. Wonder if that will push out HM???:confused3

[3princessMommy]

Found the list of new Disney releases between now and July - looks like we'll have one premiering on the last night of the cruise! (Doesn't sound like a kids movie though...:confused3)

Upcoming Disney releases for the boat:
Hannah Montana- The Movie 4/10
Earth- 4/24
Up- 5/29
The Proposal- 6/12 (Sandra Bullock/Ryan Reynolds)
G-Force- 7/24

So - question is: Will HM still be on the ship in mid-July????? :scared1::confused3:scared1::confused3

[3princessMommy]

Well, maybe it is a "kids" film (sort of):confused3:

G-Force
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer brings his first 3-D film to the big screen with 'G-Force', a comedy adventure about the latest evolution of a covert government program to train animals to work in espionage. Armed with the latest high-tech spy equipment, these highly trained guinea pigs discover that the fate of the world is in their paws. Tapped for the 'G-Force' are guinea pigs Darwin (voice of Sam Rockwell), the squad leader determined to succeed at all costs; Blaster (voice of Tracy Morgan), an outrageous weapons expert with tons of attitude and a love for all things extreme; and Juarez (voice of Penelope Cruz), a sexy martial arts pro; plus the literal fly-on-the-wall reconnaissance expert, Mooch, and a star-nosed mole, Speckles (voice of Nicolas Cage), the computer and information specialist.

[3princessMommy]

Congrats Dizzy & Starwood!!!!!

We'll be following in your footsteps on Thursday night - gotta wait until the billing cycle closes. ;)

I grew up in the DC area (Vienna, VA). I've seen a lot, but there are still things I've never seen - especially some of the more recent additions. I've never seen the newish WWII monument, or the no-longer-new Holocaust museum. The craziest one may be that I've never been inside the White House.

[Dizzyworld]

One of my favorite memories from our first cruise on the Magic was after putting the children to bed, my DH decided to go to bed too. It was too early for me, so I went to see "Chocolat." But first I made a stop at a lounge for a vanilla smoothy with Khaula. I was a happy camper. There was only one other person in the theater. It was so peaceful.

Glad everyone had a happy Easter!
Sorry it rained in Wash DC Lucy.:headache:

The weather has been really crummy here too. Nippy is the word. We'll probably pass right by spring and go straight into summer weather.

Congrats on the pirate: "Captain Hoppy!"

We're not sure when to make our Palo ressies for High tea and for dinner as we won't know until about a month before what day we have our brunch ressie. I'd prefer not to have a high Tea or brunch on the same day as dinner. Guess we'll just have to pick "eaney, meany, miney, mo". :confused3

As much as I'd like to see the Holocaust museum, I know I would find it very upsetting. I can't even watch any drama movies where people hurt other people. I guess that's why I stick to comedies and romantics.

What I liked about our last visit to the White House was taking the children and a friend of my DD (we needed to find out 10 people). The children really got into all the details of the space. At one point when we were walking through the rooms and hallways, they stopped and thought about all the different people that have walked on the same tiles. It was a big moment for them.

Vienna seems like a nice area. My DH does a lot of work in that area.

I'm wondering this myself - seeing it on the ship, since I saw posted on the cruise forum board that HM is being shown right now.....darn it, I'm not going to have a little girls night afterall:sad1::sad1::sad1::sad1::sad1:
I would also go to see the Jonas Brothers movie, but I guess I can count that one out too!:confused3

We may not have paid off our cruise, but I'm happy to say ALL of the taxes are completed (thank you Bob:hug:)

I did not go into the Holocaust Museum - Bob and Tyler did - I was people watching....my favorite thing to do:woohoo: And chatting with anyone who would chat with me - you must know by now, I LOVE to talk!:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Oh, bigAWL - I've been to the White House. I just found it amazing, standing in the mall, and remembering watching the inauguration this year, and how far away those spectators were from the capitol.

[tinkerbell_29]

Hi everyone! Hope ya'll had a good Easter. Since there are no kids in our house we spent yesterday planting plants. The Easter bunny did bring chocolate thought.

Blue skies, calm blue, turquiose, green water, gentle waves, tropical fish, white sand beaches, did I miss anything? :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:Seriously, I can't wait to go back........WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN!!!:dance3:

We were on when 'Swing Vote' opened and they had a showing at 12:01 AM on opening day in the big theatre.

[lwilliam]

I'm here,,,,,,anxious to chat!
We were on a 7 day years ago when the Pirate movie opened up.....
remember my DH taking the boys and 'mom' relaxing on deck with a book and Goofy stopping by to say 'hi'!

[disneymagic316]

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone had a nice Easter. I'm using the computer at the Vero Beach library. We're having a wonderful time. We had a great time at OKW last week. We saw The Turtles at the American Gardens theater in Epcot. They sounded great!

We had Easter dinner at Shutters at Disney's Vero Beach resort. The resort was very crowded. We're staying with my mom at her house in Vero. My DH is flying home tomorrow and we'll be back next Tuesday. I'll be back on when I get home.

Have a great week, everyone.

[lwilliam]

Oh, and the laundress :laundy: :rotfl2:

OK, now that is sick, WAY TOO MUCH LAUNDRY, Susan:scared1::scared1:

hmmmmm, what would I want to do? oh, yea, play a character....and make the children happy. Winnie the Pooh, yup, that is me!:woohoo::woohoo:

[lwilliam]

I'm reading some of the trip reports (what I do on days I'm at home!:cool1:)
and here is some good advice:

just pop over to guest services at some point on embarkation day and ask "What do I need to sign up for?" Tastings and Galley tours do fill up, and if you wait for them to show up later on in the daily Navigator you might not be able to get in. So if there is one of these you really want to do...check with Guest Services that first day.

I know we want to do the galley tour and the wine tasting, so I wanna make sure (OH, I hope I remember, from all the excitement of getting on the ship and meeting all of you) I sign up on embarkation day. I believe my DH wants to do the tequila tasting too, if offered.....now me, I'd rather do Mickey ice cream bar tastings:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

Tastings and Galley tours do fill up, and if you wait for them to show up later on in the daily Navigator you might not be able to get in. So if there is one of these you really want to do...check with Guest Services that first day.

I know we want to do the galley tour and the wine tasting, so I wanna make sure (OH, I hope I remember, from all the excitement of getting on the ship and meeting all of you) I sign up on embarkation day. I believe my DH wants to do the tequila tasting too, if offered.....now me, I'd rather do Mickey ice cream bar tastings:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

I really wanted to do the Galley tour - I hear that you get fresh-baked cookies at the end. Unfortunately, they don't allow children and it appears that Flounders is closed EVERY AFTERNOON!!!!! :scared1:

So I guess DH and I will have to sign up for different Galley tours, or one of us will just have to forego the experience. :sad1:

I'd also like to do the wine tasting - I'm sure DH wants to do the beer tasting. I'll skip tequila tasting - Yuck!:crazy2:

[3princessMommy]

Sign me up too. :mickeybar:mickeybar

I've got an idea, IF your girls take a likin' to me....I've been on many galley tours, but I've never had 3 girls...:yay::yay::yay::yay:

We've done the wine and the tequila tasting - the tequila tasting is margaritas and such... and some shots - never realized how nice the good tequilas are. We've really enjoyed the wine tastings...

We did Martini tasting a few cruises ago. I loved everyone except the traditional. They fed us hot dogs and nacho before. Isn't that odd?

I certainly wouldn't have thought hot dogs and nachos for martinis - beer, yes - martinis, not really. :confused3

I'm a fruity cocktail person personally - not a big Gin fan. :crazy2:

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone had a nice Easter. I'm using the computer at the Vero Beach library. We're having a wonderful time. We had a great time at OKW last week. We saw The Turtles at the American Gardens theater in Epcot. They sounded great!

We had Easter dinner at Shutters at Disney's Vero Beach resort. The resort was very crowded. We're staying with my mom at her house in Vero. My DH is flying home tomorrow and we'll be back next Tuesday. I'll be back on when I get home.

Have a great week, everyone.

Glad you are having a wonderful time Wendy. You are missing drizzly cold weather here. :scared:

Hi everyone! We are definitely doing the galley tour. Matt did it on our first cruise and i was very jealous when i found out about the cookies. Matt did the wine tasting at Christmas I don't know if he will do it again. The only way I'll drink alcohol is if it is in a frozen drink.

Sometimes I swear men can be so dense he just doesn't get if he doesn't call tomorrow morning we may be eating CS the whole time.

I'm going to have to take a chance and call Sat. AM instead of Fri. I'll be at school all day and probably won't have a second to do it. I just have to make a Citricos and 2 breakfasts so I don't think I'll have too much of a problem. Thanks for doing the Grand Gatherings Lissa. At least I don't have to worry about that, we're all reserved.

Any real shopping always involves a drive to Knoxville.

Thanks everyone for the "Welcome" I love following the dis boards before cruising! I want to sign up for the FE and the Palo brunch. Since I just booked, Im do not have a cabin # yet.

Guys - I'm really surprised by the dearth of young kids on this cruise! It seems everyone has kids between 10 and 18, but so few of us have kids under 10!! :confused3

I was really hoping to find a couple of little girls who could correspond with our girls before we get there so that they would feel more comfortable about going into the club the first day or so.

Anyone know of any other young families who haven't joined us yet but who are planning on going on the cruise????:beach:

Is this list our FE group as well... this is our first FE experience, so the more the merrier!! :love:


Lucy is organizing the FE. I think with the new addition today we should have around 22 cabins participating. (I better get BUSY!!!! :scared1:)

Has your family always lived in TN? We moved here last summer, we really like it so far. DS always says he wishes we lived in Knoxville, we like it there but DH's job requires that he not live more than 30 min away from Morristown.
Any real shopping always involves a drive to Knoxville.

Thanks everyone for the "Welcome" I love following the dis boards before cruising! I want to sign up for the FE and the Palo brunch. Since I just booked, Im do not have a cabin # yet. I am slowly but surely catching up on all the reading of this thread. I am soooo looking forward to this cruise!:goodvibes


Welcome!!!!!!!:banana::banana:

Welcome Donna!

As for procrastinating on school work even adults do that. what do you think I'm doing right now. I should be in "class" working not here talking. Matt was able to get most of our ADR's we've got to call back in 10 days to book the ones for after the cruise. We got the first seating at CP and right now it is not on an EMH day so I'll be bale to get some empty main street shots YAY! Now it's on to cruise plans again i'll have to trust him to book the right thing because i can not stay up till midnight and go to work the next day.

That's great Lissa!!!

DH is in charge of this tomorrow. We'll see................:upsidedow

Yes we come to Knoxville a lot. More than likely we will drive. We were at WL in WDW
last month and we drove. It wasn't too bad, besides the fact that I am a reluctant flyer,
with all the luggage restrictions, it would cost a fortune. Do you work in Morristown?
DH retired from The Navy last year so we have lived all over. I am originally from FL, it was nice being so close to WDW but the heat was too much. I like having 3 seasons!

WOW!!! We were at WDW last month as well... we stayed in one of the new Pirate Rooms at CB. We will drive too. It's pretty easy! I know what you mean about the airlines. With 4 of us, the luggage would be like another ticket! We are staying at the Radisson on Friday night before the cruise. I work in Knoxville, but do some sales calls in Morristown. :darth: We may go down to WDW for one of the Star Wars weekends in June! They are so much fun!

[Tia]

We are staying at the Radisson too! We always stay there and have dinner at Grillz. Maybe we could meet sometime before the cruise.

[jlawall]

Okay everyone, this is important.......it's my understanding that when a thread gets to 250 pages, it gets permanently closed by the moderators.

We need to restart this thread and copy any important info to the new thread that we will have to use now..........so who wants to volunteer to start the new thread and move all the info over???:confused3:goodvibes
