12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 11

[MrsMork]

another thought ....

we adopt the Walton family way of waking up and going to bed and acknowledge each member of the DIS family in separate posts.
Elaine, you are cracking me up this morning! :rotfl2: :lmao:

[bubbasmom99]

I think we will wing it mostly, except for trying to get a few Princess photo ops.

Mostly, the kids will want to play in the pool, I'm pretty sure. They will also love the club, as they are constantly bugging us to go to the gym every day so they can go to the kids club.

We won't be bringing many toys as we will probably pick up some at WDW the week before. DS just needs his GameBoy to keep himself entertained, and DD likes to draw and color. We will pick up sand toys at WDW (staying at BCV) and bring them with us to the ship. Leaving them at CC is a great idea as I am already worried about suitcase space.

[MrsMork]

so anyone who has one of those neurotic thoughts like I am sure I am going to forget XXXXXX.

Post it here.

up our post count.
Nightmare I already had was the lime green shirts and suits. I think BC for Aaron and our Passports would be way up there!

[MrsMork]

this way the entire DIS group can also check up on you once we board - like we could say hey Brandi did you forget to bring hair clips?

KWIM?
Or maybe we can all pack extra of the stuff others worry about forgetting. Like, "Brandi, I have extra hair clips if you forgot them." "Angie, extra lime green shirts here incase you forgot yours." :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl:

[MrsMork]

Today is a busy day at work with a training session so I might not get to do any posting during work.

Everyone have a good day.:thumbsup2
WHAT!!!??? :scared1: Everyone absolutely has to commit to posting at work or Elaine's plan will not work! We all need to keep our prioities straight! ;)

[BuzzBoyMom]

so Becka, if we have 15 regular posters (approx.) and 30 days left to get to 60,000 - how many would we need to post per day so that we hit it.

we can have John1 develop a contract to all commit to 20 posts per day. Just quickly ballparking it with no other factors thrown in there - we should just about make it by cruise day.

Oh Brack!

I'm going to say we can do it.

[lillygator]

There are several dresses I want to order off the internet. Trouble is the size...I am not sure if they will fit or how they will hang. I don't usually order clothes for myself but these are great buys on dressy dresses.

[lillygator]

I think I may raid my Grandma's closet for some shoes. Now before you go making wise cracks...this is the woman Haley gets her shoe fetish from. My Grandma will only wear 3 inch heels and they are all pretty darn stylish and sexy.

Last time she came to Epcot with us I think it was a tad cold and she walked around in 3 in skinny heeled boots!

I think I am beginning to freak out. As I have been packing I realize there are clothes for everyone but me! I don't even have a new swimsuit! Oh my!

[becka]

I forgot to mention this morning that when I went to put Allie down for bed last night she gathered up her puppies and headed for her crib. When I put her in I noticed her binky must have fallen behind the crib but I didn't go looking for it. I just tucked her in as usual and then left thinking that as usual within 30 seconds she would start asking for her binky. I heard silence. She went to sleep without the binky! :woohoo: I am hoping she can do it a few more nights and the maybe they can disappear forever without too much crying. :thumbsup2

[lillygator]

Way to go Becka!! That is great! I am hoping to get rid of Haley's soon.

[tynkerbell]

We have returned from Cheetah Land . . .

Here is Sophia ready to go to the concert . . .

http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/data/500/20420cheetah1-med.jpg

At the concert with the infamous Cheetah Girl Glow stick - retail $5

http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/data/500/20420cheetah2.jpg

John1

She's beautiful and looks so happy about going to that concert! How was it?

[lillygator]

Tonight is supposed to be Samantha's dance class. I am thinking of pulling her out (yes quitting)....something major happened at the studio (not sure what) but the director has left to open her own studio.
This class in particular the director was supposed to teach - and she is AWESOME! But she has only taught it twice since August. They have had a different teacher every other time. For the little ones not in daycare it has been pretty hard for them to go in without major coaxing from the parents.

They are not learning anything except to count beats and pretty much have fun with music which is FINE, but I initially was looking for something for Samantha to burn off some energy and have fun and the class is only a 1/2 hour. Usually starting 5 min late and ending 5 min early.

IDK, I don't want her to get the message that we are "quitters", but I don't feel we are getting anything worth out of it for the money it is costing.

[tynkerbell]

OK....thought you people would enjoy these. They are spoof movie trailers for movies, changing the theme to something unexpected. Some are combinations of two movies...For example, The Shining turned into a comedy...

Enjoy...

PJ and our other Canadian friends. There is now a Canadian DCL Discount: http://www.wdwinfo.com/discounts/discounts-cruise.htm#can

Just didn't want you to miss this in case you could use it! :thumbsup2

I am still waiting for the Missouri discount.... :lmao:

[lillygator]

You know, it the Mickey Monitor it mentioned DCL discounts and it looked like it was for AP holders not FL residents...

[MrsMork]

Hey! How did you get my boat out of the backyard? :confused3

Um, I think it might be the SS Apple Dumpling. :rotfl2: (this from DrHug who is sitting here but NOT posting????)

[MrsMork]

Post 5400 for me! :surfweb: Getting closer to one of my life goals of 6000 posts. ;) :surfweb:

[MrsMork]

Can you post a link, V?

Hi everybody. You can let go of my arm now Angie!

[DrHug]

I am geting closer to my goal of 500 posts.

[MrsMork]

I got up early today (no work for me - my holiday for Veteran's Day) and baked some gingerbread for DrHug. He had some, warm with butter, when he got up. Spoiled man! :love:

[lbgraves]

and Lisa - I am assuming we need $100 cash for the ruins tour? I checked their website but don't see anywhere you can pay ahead of time, unless I am missing something.

And Todd - how many jeeps are actually going on your tour? Will that be all cash as well?

I'll put their paypal email on there now. :)

[DrHug]

I may have to post just One word per post.

[MrsMork]

Our goal for this weekend is to shovel out and wipe down this house and try to get ready for Thanksgiving. :rolleyes:

[lbgraves]

Is it Friday yet?
At least Grey's is on tonight!

:( I just got home from school (it was crazy there so I ended up staying in the office to help) and got a message from DH. They didn't get everything finished yesterday so have to meet today and he couldn't get a later flight home. He wont be home until tomorrow night now. :(

[DrHug]

I'll put their paypal email on there now. :)


Speaking of ruins tours, just come to our house. It's free.

[brack]

WHAT!!!??? :scared1: Everyone absolutely has to commit to posting at work or Elaine's plan will not work! We all need to keep our prioities straight! ;)


As you can see I have managed to slip a few posts in while everyone is catching up in the lesson.

[MrsMork]

Our guest list is down from 50 to only 36 or so. :thumbsup2 Much easier. My DS and her clan are not able to make it because of a high risk pregnancy. My niece is due at the end of the month and her doc told her she cannot leave the community.

[lbgraves]

Tickets go on Sale November 18 for the January Cleveland Show . . . they were passing out leaflets at Cheetah - but I am soooooo bummed - no Troy!

It WAS really funny all the moms commenting on no dads at Cheetah. The mom behind me (while Amy and Sophia left the seats to shop) mentioned "see suzy, there ARE some dads here" I turned around and said, yeah, but not that many! She said "Yeah, I guess you are a little outnumbered".

Well, at least there are short lines at the men's room . . . although I remember going to concerts in my college days where women used the men's room because of long lines . . . wonder if that happened last night?

(I did not venture out - didn't want to miss a cheetah minute!)
John1

LOL! :lmao: If that had been the case with us I would have sent DH to the bathroom with both kids!!! DD knows the routine of having her eyes covered while daddy carries her in there & puts her in a stall. :thumbsup2

[MrsMork]

As you can see I have managed to slip a few posts in while everyone is catching up in the lesson.
You are a good man, Brack!! :surfweb:

[lbgraves]

This is just something I thought about last night while going to sleep but so many of us scrap...maybe we can use PJ's yahoo group to encourage each other to get this cruise scrapped? Can you post pictures on it or is there another site that would work better for that. I know that one group of friends who have left the deal board I was on now post as a group on gather.com. You can post pictures there. I haven't scrapped our 2nd or 3rd cruise so I could use the encouragement...as well as someone to answer to. ;)

You know, Brack, I have a family of 5. Do you have any suites left on this cruise?

[DrHug]

ok this is a neurotic question -

but can any experienced cruiser give me what your typical day at sea is.
It would be helpful if PJ, Angie and some families chimed in so I could see the different perspectives - single, w/kids, empty nesters etc.

How do you start your day? what do you like to do during the day - review navigators, wing it? etc.

In what subtle ways is it different from a port day. Like I know I will not be doing .........

just curious. no experience here.

thanks so much.


elaine



I like to go to the Spa and see if I can make up a threesome for the Mud Room. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl2: :lmao:

[lillygator]

Lisa - sorry to hear about DH...hopefully tomorrow will come quickly for you!

Do you recommend paying ahead for the ruins or when we get there?

[MrsMork]

Vanessa , as far as I can tell so far 13 jeeps ....I just got word that they are trying to charge a little more then they said and I may have to change companys ...I will have more info by chat tomorrow night and will post in a Mickey Plan when I know for sure ...

pirate:

[lbgraves]

Vanessa...and everyone...the email for the paypal account for the CM ruins tour was already listed on the excursion page. It is under the title of the tour. :) I have emailed David our final list for the tour groups. :)

[lbgraves]

Nightmare I already had was the lime green shirts and suits. I think BC for Aaron and our Passports would be way up there!

I noticed that they moved the suits for the boys to an endcap the other day, Angie.

[DisneyVegas1]

and do we tip on:

Ruins tour
Jeeps
CC Cruise
Jet Ski Tour??

and if so how much do you think?


Yes , I will be accepting tips ... :lmao: :rotfl2: :lmao:

pirate:

[MrsMork]

I'm going to get DrHug to do the paypal for the ruins. $150 less cash we will need to carry. :thumbsup2

[MrsMork]

I noticed that they moved the suits for the boys to an endcap the other day, Angie.
Thanks, Lisa. I did get him one at Kohl's last weekend for $39.

[DrHug]

But seriously folks....


I love the sea days. They are very relaxing. There are lots of things to do, from movies to classes. We enjoy sitting at the Cove Cafe and playing Skip Bo over a couple of Mochas, or Cognacs. Makes a good day for Spa apointments. The pools. Napping in a chair on Deck 4. On our first cruise we attended an Inprov Comedy Class. That was AWESOME!. Let the Personal Navigator be your guide.
See Sample Navigator. Learn to make a dessert. Karaoke. etc., ad infinitum.

ANybody gettin' the cruise butterflies yet?

[lillygator]

Thanks Todd, will look for the Mickey Plan.

Lisa -I'll go check it out. Thanks!

[lbgraves]

What time does the parking lot open? What is everyone doing for breakfast? Maybe we should try to meet somewhere?

That sounds like a plan, Vanessa! We should put a piece of lime green paper with DISer in the window of the cars so that we know who the crazy internet people are. ;) Becka, they don't let you into the parking lot where you will park for the cruise before 10:30 but you line up in the one across the street waiting for it to open.

[lillygator]

[brack]

I did on one cruise but normally I just wear a suit.

[MrsMork]

since I have been so off the ball lately I am renting Johnny's tux. He wants the two jacket combo....what the heck does he need to jackets for? Does anyone wear a tux for semi formal night as well?
Yes, the white jacket is for formal night - VERY formal - and the black for semi formal. DrHug got this combo our first 7 day. He looked pretty dapper! :love:

[brack]

48282 nannie nannie boo boo!!

This is what I get for posting before I catch up! :confused3

More like cruise bats........

It's kinda like impending doom setting in with the expenses...

[brack]

I have two cumberbuns (sp?) that's what I can use as two nights

[BuzzBoyMom]

Karen - if you (or your friend) books the excursion through the actual company and not DCL they sometimes have lower age limits.


Thanks V - that's what we've done, but we've never had an age issue.

[brack]

I left lunch to post. Trying to do my part.

[brack]

Plus there's a pirate: on horizon .....

[tynkerbell]

More like cruise bats........



Are they anything like Becka's bathroom bats? :lmao:

[MrsMork]

Elaine/Becka! We are coming up on yet another minor pirate: already!

[brack]

Now everyone's laying back and letting me fill in the gaps

[BuzzBoyMom]

Ok, there goes my breakfast.... :sad2:



well by now you should know you cannot Dis while eating. You will either lose your appetite or spit food at your screen from laughter. Either way- Dising while eating are not recommended.....read the Dis guidelines Andy.

[lbgraves]

Now I am trying to figure out what the kids and I are going to do tomorrow. I hoped that the four of us could go to SC3. :)

[tynkerbell]

[brack]

pirate: Darn 40 second rule!

[lbgraves]

I think that I will let them stay up & watch Survivor tonight. Maybe they will sleep in a bit tomorrow. :thumbsup2

[MrsMork]

The house is not getting cleaned, all those people ARE going to show up TG, but DrHug and I are doing our part here.

[BuzzBoyMom]

I'm jumping around because I haven't had a chance to read in ages.
John - sorry to hear about the levy. We have the same issue and so does my sister. "I've raised my kids" vs. "I have kids now" The fundamental issue that everyone forgets is the community aspect. Yes, your kids have been raised but when they were younger they did have these things and it does effect your property value to have a good school district because when you retire that is your additional savings. It is shocking how ugly it becomes though...and it becomes a "that's your problem" not a community problem.

John you've done Cheetalicious (loved the photos!) are you ready for High School Musical? I posted that their concert is coming. You can do it again!

Suzanne, I haven't caught up on all but :hug: pixiedust:

Okay back to reading. I'm trying to skim but when an older post is referenced I need to go back anyway - I just need to find out where I left off. I think I'm hesitant to do that because it will be gads of pages.


oops, sorry Karen I should have split this all up...right?! :confused3

Yes - but I'll agree and chastise you so that makes everything bette in post count world.

Karen – I never did tell you yesterday that I loved your jokes. I didn’t comment on them but I was :rotfl: about many of them. They made me smile!


Anything for you Becka.!

[MrsMork]

I like the dresses, Vanessa. I think they would look really good on you! :thumbsup2

Looks like some of the camera geeks are posting... I'm finally going to get the Canon rebel xti (yes, I have been shopping and thinking about this since August....) Now I'll have enough time to play and practice before the cruise. Brack, did you get the battery grip, too? Do you like the feel with that on the camera?

[lbgraves]

Just take over the class V. You can do it!

JUST what Vanessa wanted to hear!!! ;)

[brack]

We received our Mickey Monitor last night and there is a coupon for a free Ducky Williams Dumbo Holiday Lithograph!! So if you get your MM, don't thow it out!

Thanks V! I'll be looking for this. I wish he was going to be on the cruise this time too. :artist:

[BuzzBoyMom]

hop on over to our car.
I'll be the crazy chic hanging out the sunroof of a white Explorer with Gator tags (of course) waving around a lime green Mickey head poster!


Some how I can picture this with vivid details.....go figure?!!! :sad2: :sad2: :sad2:

[lillygator]

Nice Todd, nice..

Dennis and Lisa --- no, no, no!

Angie - if only I could look like those gals wearing them!! (in my mind - that's all that matters!) Full body nude SPANX!

The house is not getting cleaned, all those people ARE going to show up TG, but DrHug and I are doing our part here.

We should do a tailgate party...we can start with mimosas and bloody mary's

[87Heel]

Are we starting at the Residence Inn breakfast buffet... where we do not know anyone, of course....

[MrsMork]

We should do a tailgate party...we can start with mimosas and bloody mary's
I'm thinking we actually could do this in the Hummerzine. Sparkling cider for the kids, mimosas for the adults. :sunny: :)

I am trying to learn this scrapping business because I was volunteered for something ???? to do with it. I would be glad to help out with some good advice from somewhere. Most of the web sites seem to be ALL WOman web sites. ??? Pretty Scary. DOn't want Cappy and John makin' fun of me. :rotfl:

Adobe has a book making service. I put 5 on ....oh, it wasnt that kinfd of book making. Anyway, I think they bind picture pages into book form for a reasonable fee per book. Or do you just post or e-mail pages for everyone to assemble themselves??

Yes , I will be accepting tips ... :lmao: :rotfl2: :lmao:

I need more coffee. :surfweb:

[pyramid2000]

OK, enough levity at my expense.

I have to draw the line somewhere.

Banana suits - OK - Speedos - NO - and I do not want to be responsible for Andy's nutrition.

John1

Hey, I wasn't the one who made the suggestion. I was merely willing to get an idea of what it would look like. http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/innocent0002.gif


Wow, you guys have been chatty this morning!

[MrsMork]

Am I missing something?? What is a Mickey Monitor?

[lillygator]

We should do a tailgate party...we can start with mimosas and bloody mary's

well we will have a cooler I'm sure.......:rolleyes1

[lillygator]

Am I missing something?? What is a Mickey Monitor?

The passholder newsletter booklet. You can view online on the passholder site but the coupon will come in your booklet.

[pyramid2000]

anyone know what the posrt charge is to park now? $12 per day?

I believe that is right.

[goofyforlife]

Are they anything like Becka's bathroom bats? :lmao:

Worse...it's pissing on more than the bathroom.......

[lillygator]

maybe I will pick up cars on the way home tonight. I put in a call to the dance studio. We'll see if anyone calls me back.

[MrsMork]

Brack, we sailed with Ducky Williams on the 10 day. What an incredibly nice man! We won one of his sketches at a presentation he did. I realy wanted Donald, but the person just before us picked that one. We got Minnie. Very, very cool!

[brack]

Hmmm stopped at 3205 reading from newest to oldest. Last book mark was 3178 but I had caught up after that so I imagine 3178 was again reading newest to oldest. So basically I have no clue what I have and have not read.

How do you bookmark a page?

[pyramid2000]

and Lisa - I am assuming we need $100 cash for the ruins tour? I checked their website but don't see anywhere you can pay ahead of time, unless I am missing something.

And Todd - how many jeeps are actually going on your tour? Will that be all cash as well?

Did you decide if you are bringing the girls?

[MrsMork]

The passholder newsletter booklet. You can view online on the passholder site but the coupon will come in your booklet.
I see. We have AP at DL, but not WDW. :sad2:

Would it be rude to watch a show on my iPod during the Cheetahs?

Just checking . . .

John you have been killing me with the Cheetah Girls posts. I have kept my mouth shut up till now but I'm just about to burst.

Nathan’s day at school was better yesterday but he still seems in a crabby mood. I think he has preschooler PMS. :sad2: What is worse is that I have Mommy PMS and it is not a good combination… :rolleyes1 He gave the flower to the little girl when she got to school and she really loved it and his teacher said that the Mom really appreciated it as well. I am glad the little girl felt better and I hope that Nathan learned a good lesson from all of this.

[brack]

Becka - you are on the ball with xmas shopping!
I plan on having my decorations up before we leave and the shopping to do when we get back. (big helper here....John gets his bonus when we get back!) Unless there are a few things on BF that I can't pass up. So far the ads I have seen haven't had anything that great in them. Disney store usually does the best deals though around 5:30am!

If my DW will let me I want to have my decorations up the weekend before Thanksgiving1

[lillygator]

Did you decide if you are bringing the girls?

Not for the ruins, they will be on the boat.
For Todd's trip, it's up in the air..depending if my dad and his gf want to tag along with us or not. If they don't they can stay on the ship and the wild parties can begin....!! ;)

[DrHug]

I have two cumberbuns (sp?) that's what I can use as two nights

I think you should wear somethijng else with those Brack. Of course, it's up to you. ;) :confused3 :lmao:

John you have been killing me with the Cheetah Girls posts. I have kept my mouth shut up till now but I'm just about to burst.

we have a Cheetah club here in Sarasota....billed as an "upscale gentlemen's club".........

Christmas is very low key for us. TG is our big day. Our tree will go up after we get back. Sunday Dec 17.

[lillygator]

If my DW will let me I want to have my decorations up the weekend before Thanksgiving1

Johnny has no choice. I just start decorating around him. My problem is the tree....we buy real so we have to wait until Home Depot gets them in.
John is the WORST at shopping for an xmas tree...the WORST. He will pick up a tree (still wrapped)and oh if it feels heavy "it's a good one V".....um no, I bring my own case cutter and can open them myself.

Keep in mind I worked the xmas tree lot the entire xmas season in '04 (aside from the one week we went to WDW instead of cruising since I was pregnant and had to CHANGE).....and belly sticking out and all I never complained nor had a problem opening 800 trees for customers. You think my husband would kindly do the same for his DW.

[lillygator]

Men....

[bubbasmom99]

My DH will wear either a tux or a shirt & tie to semi formal night. He will not be bringing a suit.

I got my formal dress the other day (mail order/ebay) and it zipped right up (woooohoooo). Now if I can just manage not to gain 10 lbs at WDW the week before!

[DisneyVegas1]

How about "Look both ways before crossing the street in Cozumel - especially in front of a line of jeeps with pirate flags flying!"?

I think it will be easier for me just to get John the two jackets then. Will he need to wear a bow tie both times? can he wear a tie tie with one? I myself like that been out dancing undone bow tie one button undone look myself! But I am sure that won't fly in the dining rooms!

[goofyforlife]

If my DW will let me I want to have my decorations up the weekend before Thanksgiving1

We'll be doing the decorations on Thanksgiving if weather cooperates...

Can't afford to travel to family (Dsis won't allow dogs and well i have enough trouble with cost of petsitter for the cruise itself) and no one will come see us....

Turkey subs around..... maybe a can of cranberry sauce ....some canned pumpkin for the dogs....

V- that is funny! We are just the opposite. I'm the "this is a good enough tree" person and DrHug would go to every single tree farm, tree lot in the country searching for the "perfect" tree every year. :rolleyes: We usually wound up back at the first or second place and got a perfectly fine tree. :sad2: :lmao: :rotfl2: A couple of years ago we got a fake tree with the lights already on and we just put it together and call it good.

I think it's hitting serious planning time for everyone now! Yikes!

[lillygator]

I like the pine smell. I remember how amazed I was when we went to Ohio - the flats - and there were xmas trees just growing every where!

[MommyMinnie]

We have three super skinny fake trees that the lights stay on permantly. We put them in the corner and they make up just as much "eye candy" without taking up as much floor space. Floor space is a premium in our living room. We like them because they stay assembled and lit all year long and we just tote them from the basement to the LR in one carry.

I'm a little worried this year though. We have two kittens in the house. I have a feeling the trees are going to spend a lot of time on the floor. Rule for this year "No Breakable Ornaments."

Now for my dirty little secret. I never took down the Dept 56 Snow Village last year. So it's still in the china cabinet and ready to plug back in.

[DrHug]

Well, I gotta go jump into the shower. It's time to get ready for (erg) work. 12 to 9er. That's why I never watch much TV. Too many evening shifts. I could never stay caught up. Kinda like the DIS.


Sooooo, g'bye for now, everybody. Don't believe a word Angie :love: posts. ;)

I have three pencil trees, varying height, that I keep in the foyer lit, with different decorations for the year....they have fall/halloween right now.

Awww Kristina... you could have to be in the car for 10 hours each way for Thanksgiving weekend...

but it should be the real cranberries... not the jellied stuff that "slooorps" out of the can, complete with can lines on the side.

[MrsMork]

After DrHug leaves I have to go to WM (don't look John1!!) and pick up my ring. DrHug bought it for me several years ago when he was WM pharmacy manager. I had it appraised and the value was 3 times what he paid for it. :thumbsup2 One of the diamonds fell out and I took it in for reair/replace. Got a call yesterday that is is back and there is NO CHARGE. Wow! I was fully expecting to pay for a new diamond since I had it for so long and I had not had the prongs tightened like I should have. Definately neglect on my part is why the diamond fell out. Anyway, nice bonus there and I am :) camper.

[lillygator]

wow Angie, what a nice surprise!

[87Heel]

Nice customer service for you, Angie!

[MommyMinnie]

I've missed several pages but....
When we were thinking of how to identify outselves on the CC cruise, did someone remember the green bandana's Kristina arranged for us?

[lillygator]

I am not sure that by Friday anyone will need any help identifing us.....:) well, maybe in a lineup!

[87Heel]

Angie, that just prompted me to check the prongs on my engagement ring. I have had to have them repaired at least twice in the past 17 years... Sometimes I think that the dirt is holding the diamond in place...

[becka]

I like to go to the Spa and see if I can make up a threesome for the Mud Room. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl2: :lmao:

[MommyMinnie]

Wow that's great Angie! Not what I would have expected from them!

[MrsMork]

I like the pine smell. I remember how amazed I was when we went to Ohio - the flats - and there were xmas trees just growing every where!
Lots and lots of Christmas tree farms up here. We spent many a rainy day out on the farms tromping around looking for the perfect tree, then getting down in the mud to saw it down. :rolleyes: Not my idea of a fun day. Some years there when the kids were teens I would just send them with Dad on the "hunt" and I would just make sure there was hot chocolate available when they returned.

[MommyMinnie]

I am not sure that by Friday anyone will need any help identifing us.....:) well, maybe in a lineup!
True, we might need the bandanas to cover our faces.

[lillygator]

well I am spoiled....our trees are cut and they bag them for you and put them on the top of the car.

[becka]

Are they anything like Becka's bathroom bats? :lmao:

Someone better bring the 409...those bathroom bats are messy! :rotfl2:

[MrsMork]

Great idea!! Perfect time to use them!!

[becka]

Better than a lime green piece of paper is to write on our cars with that white stuff (do they make lime green). We can identify everyone's cars easier that way and know where to congregate. :thumbsup2

[MrsMork]

Angie, that just prompted me to check the prongs on my engagement ring. I have had to have them repaired at least twice in the past 17 years... Sometimes I think that the dirt is holding the diamond in place...
One of my prongs was catching on things (sweaters, etc) for a couple of weeks before I noticed the diamond missing. :rolleyes: I kept thinking "I need to take care of this or...".

[lillygator]

don't they have pirate flags for cars?

[becka]

If my DW will let me I want to have my decorations up the weekend before Thanksgiving1

We were looking at our weekends and it looks like our stuff will go up not this weekend but next! Seems crazy but we at least we won't turn on the outside lights and our big inflatable Frosty until after we return from Thanksgiving! It's the most wonderful time of the year..... :goodvibes

[MrsMork]

well I am spoiled....our trees are cut and they bag them for you and put them on the top of the car.
DrHug and the kids liked cutting one themselves. They do bag them and put them on the car for you at the farms. They have machines there that shake them to get loose needles off then wraps them up for the trip home.

[becka]

I like the pine smell. I remember how amazed I was when we went to Ohio - the flats - and there were xmas trees just growing every where!

We have allergies so it is a fake tree for us but it is not the pre-lit one so we still have to get the lights in just the right place. I have a Yankee Candle that is a Christmas tree scent and it works just as well as a real tree without all the sneezing and the mess. :thumbsup2

[BuzzBoyMom]

Are we starting at the Residence Inn breakfast buffet... where we do not know anyone, of course....


To be honest, we probably won't...we usually go down and get dunkin donuts coffee and muffin or donuts and head over to the ship early.

[MrsMork]

I'm sure they do. pirate:

Ditto - but our flavor is mint this year and our tree has lights.

[becka]

Everyone has been chatty today! I love it! This group is way too much fun! :thumbsup2

Nathan and I had our lunch date and we had a great time. I am really glad I took him out and I hope he will start feeling a little better. I sometimes forget that each of my kids really needs some time alone having fun with just one of us occasionally. He was having a really good morning at school so that was great news. I let him pick the place and he of course picked McDonald’s and he was so thrilled to hear that we could eat inside. He loves to eat inside fast food restaurants but 98% of the time we just do drive thru so this was a treat. He picked us a nice table by the window (Mom, you can see the McDonalds’ sign from in here. ;) ). We enjoyed out lunches and then we stopped to get him a chocolate milkshake at the frozen custard place. He only finished about a ¼ of it but we were able to put the rest in the daycare’s freezer so we can take it home this evening. I think it put us both in a better mood. Nathan drives me crazy but he really is a great, fun-loving kid.

[MrsMork]

One more milestone and then I really need to get busy around here! OY! Besides all the cooking, cleaning and stuff, I have to wash all the china, glasses, bowls, platters and stuff that have been stored for a year. :rolleyes:

Becka - that's awesome!! He'll go back for the afternoon fine? I know Haley would not but Samantha probably would. You are right, I think one on one time does wonders for them. It seems sometimes I don't have enough arms and legs....I get the "you love Haley more than me" bit, if I am carrying her around....I tell her my heart is big enough for her, Haley and daddy...

I have to sneak in and out the daycare because if Allie sees me then we have a big problem. She would expect to go home with me. Nathan does fine. He wanted me to not go back to work and spend the whole afternoon with him but I couldn't so he understood. I did tell him right up front he was coming back after our lunch and he was fine with it. I think I do sometimes forget that because Nathan can do so much more for himself that he does feel like we love Allie more than him because she takes more of our time. I think things like this really help.

Becka, this brought back such good memories for me. Our DS (who is now 28) and I would go to McD's every two weeks when he was 2-3 yo when we would pick up Daddy's check and go deposit it. (We lived before direct deposit! ;) ) He would get a happy meal and I would have chicken nuggets and ice tea - every time. He still remembers those outings with Mom and what we had to eat and he was just a little guy. He was #3 and it is sometimes hard to remember individual time for each, but it obviously meant alot to him. We talked about this recently. :goodvibes

[becka]

Well back to work for me...I will check in later with you chatty people! :chat:

[lillygator]

I think I'll have to start doing that for Samantha. She would probably really enjoy that.

I still can't believe we are under the 30 day mark....is this really possible??!!

[Bella2000]

There are several dresses I want to order off the internet. Trouble is the size...I am not sure if they will fit or how they will hang. I don't usually order clothes for myself but these are great buys on dressy dresses.
Can you post a link, V?Exactly what I was going to ask. I've been looking on Nordstroms and Neiman Marcus.

[brack]

Well, at least there are short lines at the men's room . . . although I remember going to concerts in my college days where women used the men's room because of long lines . . . wonder if that happened last night?

I have been in a Men's Room using the facility and had a woman come in and use the toilet!

[magicbride2b]

I think I just may have made a big mistake. This morning I was checking the prices of the cruise again and noticed that the category 12 went down to only $1282.16, this price does not include transfers or insurance. Paul and I originally booked at category 7 and paid $3058 for it. So, i was thinking of switching us to save us some money. Well, I called costco and they quoted me the $1282.16 price, so I said sure, go ahead and switch us. Well, after she switched us she came back on the phone and said costco could only guarantee the amount of $1882 for the cruise and the rest of the savings would be up to the DCL accounting department. I was so angry as I told her we were only going to do it if we got the $1282 price. So, I am sitting at work just wanting to fall over right now. The money is a huge savings and it will pay off my car, which will be nice becuase we want to start looking for new homes.

Anyways, I emailed costco telling them how upset I was with the travel agent and that I was quoted the one price and was given the other. I know that they don't have to honor anything after the final payment is due, but I told her only if it was the cheaper price. So now, I just hope i didn't mess up our trip.

Vanessa, they play at Epcot - Canada. They are an amazing band - Bagpipe rock and roll! DrHug has all their CDs. Another story with those of excellent customer service. He bought 2 CDs while there in 2004, then we did the 10 day cruise, and somewhere in all that we lost the CDs. We called BCV and asked of they had been turned into lost and found. Nope, but the very, very sweet gal who talked to DrHug for hours about everything including the CDs went to the Canada pavillion and got 2 CDs and sent them to him.

Looks like some of the camera geeks are posting... I'm finally going to get the Canon rebel xti (yes, I have been shopping and thinking about this since August....) Now I'll have enough time to play and practice before the cruise. Brack, did you get the battery grip, too? Do you like the feel with that on the camera?

Yes I bought the grip and I love it. It gives the camera a little more bulk to hold on to. It is worth it. :thumbsup2

I am trying to learn this scrapping business because I was volunteered for something ???? to do with it. I would be glad to help out with some good advice from somewhere. Most of the web sites seem to be ALL WOman web sites. ??? Pretty Scary. DOn't want Cappy and John makin' fun of me. :rotfl:

Adobe has a book making service. I put 5 on ....oh, it wasnt that kinfd of book making. Anyway, I think they bind picture pages into book form for a reasonable fee per book. Or do you just post or e-mail pages for everyone to assemble themselves??

I wasn't talking about that, Dennis. :) I think that we had considered doing a group online scrapbook. I am talking about those of us who still do the scrapping by hand. It wouldn't be a circle or swap. Just a group encouraging each other to get our cruise scrapbook done and exchange ideas.

I forgot to mention this morning that when I went to put Allie down for bed last night she gathered up her puppies and headed for her crib. When I put her in I noticed her binky must have fallen behind the crib but I didn't go looking for it. I just tucked her in as usual and then left thinking that as usual within 30 seconds she would start asking for her binky. I heard silence. She went to sleep without the binky! :woohoo: I am hoping she can do it a few more nights and the maybe they can disappear forever without too much crying. :thumbsup2

:thumbsup2 :Pinkbounc :cheer2: Good luck!

We'll be doing the decorations on Thanksgiving if weather cooperates...

Can't afford to travel to family (Dsis won't allow dogs and well i have enough trouble with cost of petsitter for the cruise itself) and no one will come see us....



If they don't want our DISDog they don't want me.

Nice Todd! :thumbsup2 I would expect nothing less! :teeth: ;)

[lbgraves]

Better than a lime green piece of paper is to write on our cars with that white stuff (do they make lime green). We can identify everyone's cars easier that way and know where to congregate. :thumbsup2

Sorry, there is no way DH will let me write on the car with anything...then have it sit in the sun for 7 days.

[lillygator]

we used shoe polish in HS.

Well, I am heading upstairs for a bit. The kids were getting on each other's nerves so I just put Cars on. INSTANT quiet. ;)

[becka]

It looks like on Expedia I could book a Cat 12 right now for the 4 of us with no insurance or transfers for just under $1600. I wonder if I should try to save some money? :scratchin Would they let you take what I have already paid as onboard credit? With a $1400 onboard credit we could really have some fun!!! :woohoo:

When we switched our June cruise to this one we were getting $1500. refunded. I asked if we could have it turned into a stateroom credit and we were told no, that the money needed to be refunded to us. I didn't understand why but that's what they told us. :confused3

[dh chrisva]

are you there i have a quick question about the Double dip logo..

[Jhalkias]

Hey John - Cheetah music from the real "Troy"
Drew Seeley (http://www.drewseeley.net/music.htm)

See I was eavesdropping last night, when the mom said, yeah, but Troy will not be here for HS musical - and the other mom said, yeah, but it is NOT him singing! The little girls around them had to pick their jaws up off the ground.

"What do you mean it's not him? I saw him singing in the movie!"

:rotfl2:

John1

[becka]

If they are dropping the prices like that for a Cat 12 does that mean that the ship is still not that full? Does anyone have the current stats for us on how many rooms appear to still be available?

[becka]

Does anyone have the e-mail address for The Perfect Gift readily available?

[lillygator]

Becka - I think you are better off calling the perfect gift.
And when I checked last week DCL was showing 8 cabins in EACH 12-4 categories.

That is almost 100 cabins empty. Wow! We really are going to take over the ship! They can give each of us free upgrades to keep us happy! :thumbsup2

I can see it now..

"...um....excuse me Mr. Security man, can you hold this while I go thru your metal dector", says all the people wearing lime green shirts.

If those poor people haven't been warned by now someone ought to contact PorterBob or 3AngelsinHEaven (I think that is their names)

[lillygator]

I was kidding!!

Canon Rebel XT? or something else?

[pjpoohbear]

We received our Mickey Monitor last night and there is a coupon for a free Ducky Williams Dumbo Holiday Lithograph!! So if you get your MM, don't thow it out!

I won't get a MM, I wonder if I could print out the coupon form the online version? The reason I don't get a MM is that they do not send them outside of the USA, like Canadians and Brits don't buy AP's :rotfl: This is my second and last time it was a PAP.

[BuzzBoyMom]

You are not really having fun until someone is arrested! :rotfl2: I always wanted to see the brig on a ship...do you think they have visiting hours? :lmao:


Nooooo Becka!!!! Don't do it!!!

[ruley3]

Just sneaking a quick Hello...... I just want to say I WANT A REFUND!!!!!!!!!!
CAT 12 are cheap!!! and that is what I booked .... Can't I get some money back!!!! :sad2:

[lillygator]

PJ - I don't think there is a coupon online and it states in the MM in FINE print that they will not issue one if it's "lost in the mail" etc....

[BuzzBoyMom]

She can be in charge of setting up the perfect place for the tailgate! :thumbsup2



you mean beside me and the blow up doll who will be sleeping next to the front door? That's as good of a place as any

[87Heel]

Canon Rebel XT? or something else?
on the canon xti, thanks

[BuzzBoyMom]

I think I just may have made a big mistake. This morning I was checking the prices of the cruise again and noticed that the category 12 went down to only $1282.16, this price does not include transfers or insurance. Paul and I originally booked at category 7 and paid $3058 for it. So, i was thinking of switching us to save us some money. Well, I called costco and they quoted me the $1282.16 price, so I said sure, go ahead and switch us. Well, after she switched us she came back on the phone and said costco could only guarantee the amount of $1882 for the cruise and the rest of the savings would be up to the DCL accounting department. I was so angry as I told her we were only going to do it if we got the $1282 price. So, I am sitting at work just wanting to fall over right now. The money is a huge savings and it will pay off my car, which will be nice becuase we want to start looking for new homes.

Anyways, I emailed costco telling them how upset I was with the travel agent and that I was quoted the one price and was given the other. I know that they don't have to honor anything after the final payment is due, but I told her only if it was the cheaper price. So now, I just hope i didn't mess up our trip.

Jodie - hope it all works out. That just doesn't make any sense why they did that.

[brack]

on the canon xti, thanks

There is a 100mm Canon lens that focuses as close as 1 inch! A little pricey but it looks like a good lens. I was tempted.

[BuzzBoyMom]
