thats What the Magnets are for..

Just wear something metallic, and you will be guided back to your rooms...

Dont know Whos room..But It will be a DIS Member..

You can Also wear your green Leis all week, and If found in a drunken stuper, A fellow Dis'er can always show you the way..

"Show me the way to go home, Im tired and I want to go to bed.....I had a little drink about an hour ago, and its gone right to my Head" That should be our theme song...

Bobby

[Mary Anne]

Bobby, I am laughing so hard right now.

You know I think WE may be the group that people point to and talk about on this cruise. Yeah, they'll all be saying, "find out when they cruise again, we want to be part of them"

[MoranClan]

All You guys are killing me..

I should be asleep by now...But I cant stop reading and Laughing with Cindy and the Kids..

Poor mickey is behind us licking his wounds..What a Tuff SOB...

My Kids will volunteer to walk everyone Home...

Name tags and Leis are a must for the Kids to walk the Lush adults home...

Bobby

[Reenieny18]

Bobby I am chocking onmy dinner here... And Jill. sure she lurks all these months than.. choses the right moment and BAM,, pounces us about are typing.. What till you see us SLUR..

Bobby.. i can't believe you were able to take the time to write that all out even...
Doreen

[MoranClan]

OK...Now that it has been established that we all Like to drink :drinking1

I Would like to recommend A Dis Meet Every Night OnBoard..

Starting with Saturday Night..After all the Meals...

I think the Clubs and Bars would be so much better..hehe

Bobby

[winnyis]

I love the theme song... I am ROFLMAO at all these posts... and as far as going back to a Disers room... lets all remember that this is a disney cruise and I think that somewhere in that Cruise Contract it prohibits wife swapping

Mary Anne - lets hope thats all the people are saying while they are pointing at us.. Can you imagine if there a bunch of drunk adults with leis and name tags and kids are leading them to their rooms.... I dont think I want my kids to hear what other people would be saying about their mommy - LOL

[Reenieny18]

Bobby,, what dinner.. I thought the BAR Was going to be the APPETIZERS.. most nights. you ahve to read J site pre crusie info on JAZZ the cross dresser.. I am in tears here.. OMG.. Cindy,, maybe Bobby can wear the pink or blue one.
Doreen

[sandygirl]

OK, I spend a day away from the boards and you guys have me speed reading to catch up! I can't keep up with who is where and what they are bringing and on who's stoop we are playing next game!

We were called with an upgrade today, all the way from cat 8 to 5. My DH was telling me on my cell while I was driving home and my DD kept saying, "What are you so excited about, Mommy?" Too awesome to get a verandah handed to us. I'm already having my morning coffee on the verandah, watching and listening to the sea float by, feeling the morning sun on my face...

We will be in cabin 7056. Have to PM Bobby. Hope he didn't print our magnet yet. How will the designated walkers know where to return me?

[invaderzim]

:( Oh, my -- I suddenly feel so sad. I realize that we are entering our last week for this thread and I will really miss all your comments, suggestions and wit -- can't wait to meet you all onboard!

Thanks for making these last few months fly by......

Cathy

[missinshadow]

You all are killing me!!!:rotfl: My family thinks I've gone insane laughing so hard by myself in the computer room. You guys are crazy.

Make sure everyone has lime green on at all times and if I find you all laying around I'll deliver you back the best I can to your rooms.

Now with the magnets I know where the party people are.

See you all soon!!!!!

Carolyn

[gdulaney]

Hi everybody! It's me the other Ginny. :wave2:

I'm starting to get a mental picture of...
green mickey stickers on the floor, making a trail from the ice to the smoothie maker. Big huge pieces of posterboard with room numbers written in Sharpie...so that blurry eyes don't miss the room number. And kind-hearted children leading their parents to find food...perhaps those tot-leashes would work for this?

Speaking of booze...we usually take about a case of beer, a 12-pack of cokes, and sometimes I'll get some wine coolers or a bottle of wine. You can always supplement with the frothy drinks...but those get so darn expensive.

About two-hundred posts ago someone asked what items are not to be forgotten...well, here are some of mine.

- A highlighter (handy for highlighting activities on the Navigator).
- Either some spray room freshener or lysol (it's a week...at some point, somebody will have to have a BM).
- Some cough drops (a/c...no a/c....a/c....no a/c).
- Small bills (for shopping at the street markets)
- Post-its (great for leaving messages on the room door...or the mirror, inside the room).
- Laundry detergent, dryer sheets, and quarters.
- Koozies (especially if you're bringing your own beer).
- An emery board and whatever nail polish you've used on your toes and fingers...sand is heck on manicures and pedicures.

Cheers everybody!
Ginny D. (the other Ginny)

You know I went back tonight and read most of this thread from the beginning. It is better then a time capsule. I am going to print it out when I get back from the cruise and put it with my cruise stuff to keep. We've had happiness, sadness, sickness and too many laughs to count. Thankfully for the most part we're all here ready to start our actual journey. The first week that was counted that I could tell was 54. School started, school ended, we had a blizzard in December that we worried about those cruising that week-end and missing the cruise and yet again last week we had a hurricane with the same worries.

[nuts4sn00py]

OMG! You people have me rolling on the floor with laughter!:rotfl: But try to keep it down, okay. Some of our fellow cruisers will have to be up early for their excursions. Unlike me, who didn't book any! ;) If DCL is anything like that new show Airline some of you may not be allowed to board the boat! You'll have to sober up, or be left at the dock!:eek: I can't imagine what next week is going to bring, but I know this is going to be one vacation I'm never gonna forget! Thanks all for making my night! Kathy :wave2:

MaryAnne...Wow, Maybe I will TRY to read it again, Interesting, what a year brings in a life of many. I can't wait to meet all of you, and hopefully we will really run into each other on board.

GinnyD...Thanks for the reminders, anyone else have anything to add as must haves?

Joanna

[SeaSpray]

Last night I was just telling DH that this Friday will be the VERY LAST "official weekly countdown" on our thread!!! So, this is the end?!?! That's a strange feeling.....I've been doing the weekly countdowns for over a year now. Our limo is picking us up at 9am next Friday morning....I will try and get online fast so I can type a final "Zero weeks to go" countdown, in case anyone is still home waiting to depart. (Who will still be here next Friday morning???)

You know, we *could* always keep this thread going once we've gotten back from the cruise!! :sunny:

[Mjasp]

I will be here next Friday I think until about 9:30.

Joanna

[missinshadow]

I will be here until next Saturday 7:30 a.m.

Let's just keep the thread going!!!!:sunny:

[O'BWV]

Good Morning Friends!!

I had to go to bed a little early last night. Once my spelling starts to go I know I'm down a couple of quarts of sleep. When I read all the posts from last night I had tears streaming down my face from laughing so hard. I can just picture all of us in metallic clothes being pulled to the magnets of any DISers cabin!! Probably the funniest thing of all is that it sounds like none of us are really big drinkers and probably after two or three we'll be needing those DIS kids to escort us home LOL.

Needless to say, it's been great passing these past months with all of you. I feel like we are all very similar people which in a way is kinda ironic. All of you have such a great sense of humor too which will surely make our cruise great fun! So looking forward to it now. We leave a week from today,

Do we have a writer in our group (Mary Anne?) Because this sounds like it could be an awesome novel.... Strangers meet on a cruise forum, create a drunken, ruckus on board and wind up on stateroom arrest, and ultimately make friendships of a lifetime........


Sandy - Congrats on the upgrade WOO HOO!!



-Mary Rose

[winnyis]

All of you have such a great sense of humor too which will surely make our cruise great fun! So looking forward to it now. We leave a week from today,

Mary Rose - very well said. I totally agree - it has been a pleasure talking with all of you - and I am really looking forward to meeting everyone onboard. As for lifelong friendships.. certainly a possibility. I met a girl from New Orleans on a parents place website for moms having babies in May 1998... we still talk online all the time and she has come to visit me several times.

Im down to 1 day and hours here... cant wait!!!

Ginny

[admepo]

My husband had the nerve to bring home work last night so I missed the boards last night. But after reading all the posts I am over here LMAO! My DS age 6 keeps asking what is so funny! :crazy:

I can see this now - druken DISers being led down halls to each door with a magnet and knocking... "is this my room??".... Maybe Bobby should give his master magnet list to the kids so they know which rooms we belong in. Should we tip the children as baggage handlers when they get us to the rooms???? LOL

I will be here still next Friday night. We don't leave for Port Canaveral until 5am Saturday morning! After this past weekend - I really need a vacation! Getting very anxious. Hopefully this weekend most of the stores around here will be back to normal so I can finish up the cruise shopping I need to do. Otherwise I may be driving to Tampa to shop!

Still completely lost about T and J so can someone PLEASE enlighten me????

Melanie

[lynr]

I'll be here until 6PM on Thursday and then we are staying over night close to the airport, our plane leaves at 7:15 AM.

Can't Wait to see everyone!!!!

Lyn:sunny: :crazy: :earsgirl: :earsboy: :wave:

[MoranClan]

We will be leaving Thursday, sometime in the am, but Bobby is such a computer junkie Im sure he will be plugging in somewhere along the way. We plan on getting to the Radisson early Friday morning. We will most probably stay by the pool and try to find everyone throughout the day. Don't be afraid of the big guy with the broad shoulders covered in tatoos. He's very friendly, doesn't bite, and has a heart of gold. Just picture him crying for his injured dog.

Can't wait to meet everyone

Cindy ::MinnieMo

[O'BWV]

Cindy - What a beautiful way to describe your husband. How's Mickey doing?


Ginny - Are you the first of us to leave? I'm assuming you're going to WDW first? I'm sure there's a post about it but we've added many, many pages over the last few days and I can't easily find it. LOL



-Mary Rose

[winnyis]

Mary Rose... I think there was one person leaving before me but I cant remember who. We are leaving our house at 3:30AM on Saturday to AC Airport for a 7AM flight. We are spending the week before at Disney/Universal and Seaworld and will head to the Radisson next friday.

Ginny

[admepo]

OK I have finally figured out how to find Jason and Travis! :) Excuse the blonde! :crazy:

Cindy - I love the way you and Bobby talk about one another! It is just too sweet! :love:

Anyone else panicked (sp??) about last minute packing items????

With this bunch looks like I better stop at Sam's club for the booze on the way to the port! :p

Melanie

[paulinewdw]

You all are too much...kinda of reminds me of some of the parties we had at college(and that was oh so long ago!) I had to take today off from work...too much sorting and packing! (I have three suitcases packed, two more to go and then I need to tidy up the clutter so that my dear MIL can get to the kitchen to feed the cat! LOL!!!

We are flying out tomorrow evening...spending three days at Universal and then four at Disney and then on to the booze(I mean Disney!) cruise,,,can't wait to meet you all!!!

Pauline

[Reenieny18]

Melanie,, I Pvt messaged you....
Ok I went to get liquor store today.. This is what I got:tongue:
.TGIF mudslide mixer 1.75 L, Master MIxers Strawberry Marg. Mix,1.5L, Arbor Mist Blackberry Merlot 1.5 L, and Wine Blanders Blackberry 1.5 L... the Strawberry Marg has >1% alcohol so I figured kids can have it too.. You have to add your own Rum to that one. I had so much fun. I didn't buy any Rum or Whiskey... They have CRUZ RUM that we got before in GC,, that was fantastic.. any one liked flavored RUMS?

Ok, enough of the drink stuff... Seriously.,, I too will miss all of you and the fun bantering we have done on here. I am hoping this is the start of some great friendship,, and maybe some reunion Cruises... Thanks for the laughs.. Remember.. I have big tips for my Cabin people... Ice is free at my cabin. I heard GINNY is still charging..:teeth:

Doreen

[trinibjill]

Hi - it's good to see a NJ neighbor also got an upgrade. I also love the idea of sitting on a verandah & watching the world go by.
We are in 7098. Right down the way from you.

I know I havn't been on the thread long. I wish I knew it existed before this. I would have loved to been one of gang.

I really am looking forward to meeting everyone.

We don't leave until 10 am Sat.


Reenieny18 I spell rilly bid two sumtimez & whin dreenkin - oh my gwodniss.

Doreen...My best friend, very good job, what room are you in again?

DH use to always drink JD then he switched to Rum and Diet Coke

[nuts4sn00py]

Wow! :eek: A 10am flight on the 28th...you're a real risk taker aren't you. I have been panicked about my 7am flight that same day...especially with so many of us going down on the 27th or earlier! :( To all who are leaving tomorrow: Bon Voyage! Have a safe trip & make sure to save some of the liquor for the boat! :bounce: :bounce: I am addicted to this thread, so I will probably be checking in here up until I leave on the 28th...so all those who will still be around, let's continue to post & keep this thread going!:hyper: Well, it's dinner time now, so I'll catch up with you all later! Kathy :wave2:

[admepo]

I'm going to echo Kathy in case Adam brings home work again tonight and I don't get back on the boards....

Everyone who is leaving tomorrow - GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN and BE SAFE and see you at the Promenade Lounge!!!!

For the rest of us stuck here for a bit longer.... we will continue the banter and chuckles! ;)

Melanie

[winnyis]

Melanie and Kathy - I am counting on you too to make sure Doreen doesnt talk bad about me after I leave Sat AM.... she just cant seem to let go of this ice thing of hers - go figure!!!!

Ginny

[Mary Anne]

Do we have a writer in our group (Mary Anne?) Because this sounds like it could be an awesome novel.... Strangers meet on a cruise forum, create a drunken, ruckus on board and wind up on stateroom arrest, and ultimately make friendships of a lifetime........

I need to warn you, I write trip reports, long, trip reports. You'll see me with my pad and pen all week. I'm no Delswife but....:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Good luck to everyone leaving today and tomorow. We're out of here Sunday morning. I will try and log in from Disney Quest next week.

[Mjasp]

Who is leaving tomorrow???

[Reenieny18]

All I can say is PAYBACKS>... Ok I went out shopping again tonight.. KOHLS has a fantastic sale again. We are more then packed.
Good luck to who leaves tomorrow...WE will see you at PORT!.
If you see Ginny scrambling for electricity.. Don't look at me.
I heard she may be getting free ice at the bars!! Imagine that! I am in 6045 and 6043(sisters room)! stop by if I am there.. Give the secret DIS knock,,lol So I know its not DISNEY with a RAID!:teeth:

Doreen

[MoranClan]

I really am a mean and dispicable creature..hehe

Jack Daniels...YUM YUM...Used to be my poison..

Maybe I can smuggle one on board without Cindy Knowing...Sge hates when I drink Jack..

Last nigh was great..I wound up staying up and laughing with Cindy..

Then at 2:30 Am..Mickey wanted to go out...

So Jessie Woke up and let him out..She then at 2:35AM, Comes running up the stairs Screaming..I CANT FIND MICKEY, HES GONE, I CANT FIND MICKEY...

So basically last night I got about 1 hour sleep..And What do I do when I come Home...Sleep?...

NAAAAAAAAAA

Read the DIS Boards..hahahahaah

Bobby

[trinibjill]

Now I know why you said I was lurking all these months. I went to the three circles site & my fun facts said that. I meant for that to be looking all these months. Wow, I can't spell after all. (ha ha)

You guys have me worried now about the flight time. I'm going to call my agent tommorrow & see if we can't get a earlier flight. I don't want to miss this for anything.

Jill

[O'BWV]

Hi DIS-zy friends!


Safe voyage and have a great time to all those leaving tomorrow! We'll keep the lights on here!

Okay, I've been pretty absent today because I did some serious packing and and think I have way (and I do mean way) too much luggage :o Here's what I have: 2 large suitcases, 1 smaller suitcase, 2 garment bags, 1 shoe bag, 1 toiletry bag, 1 carryon, and of course the tremendous bag of booze :bounce:

That is 9 bags - 9 bags is EXTREME! I've gone through the bags again and couldn't really eliminate much. We are a family of four. I have one of the big suitcases with other things in there such as make-up bag, books, mugs and stuff. My DH & DS are packed into the other big suitcase and my DD is packed in the small suitcase. We have so many dress clothes i.e. suits, shirts, dresses, dockers and such that we need two garment bags. The rest is shoes & toiletries, and booze.

Okay DIS Friends can you help me here? How many bags are all of you taking and if I'm taking too much can you help me consolidate? (without eliminating any of the booze of course LOL)

Please make me feel better or tell me I'm crazy. This is alot to lug around!

Thanks,
Mary Rose

[winnyis]

Mary Rose
We are also a family of 4 and I have 6 bags

1 large suitcase for parks clothes
1 large suitcase for cruise clothes
1 garment bag for dressy stuff
1 medium suitcase wth shoes
1 medium suitcase with all toiletries
1 cooler



I think I did pretty good considering we will be gone for 17 days.

[lynr]

Since DCL has limited me to only two apiece I will be taking 6 and my carry on. I will probably have 3 garment bags, a shoe bag, a large suit case and a small case for souvineers.

I always pack too much! I am determined to cut back this year. If need be I will send clothes out to be cleaned.

Lyn:crazy:

P.S. You will now be able to find us in a crowd, my son came home today with a mowhawk that he dyed blonde. I begged him to please cut his hair before the cruise but he informs me that the girls will love it. I won't sweat it since it is only hair and can change from day to day!!!!

[Reenieny18]

Mary Rose, what age are your children ,,, that makes a difference on what size the clothes are. What ever you do..DON'T LEAVE THE BOOZE BAG... take one less undie or top or shorts, but not the BOOZE>> We have to keep GINNY happy on board. After all we are celebrating 40...
Ok we have a family of 4 and we each have
one check in and maybe 2 carry ons as well as 2 garmet bags. I have the booze in a roll bag.. Did that mistake before and had to carry the booze home. BIG MISTAKE. this time its on wheels.

BOBBY What was MICKEY doing last night that he didnt come inside early..? I was once told if I could lick my,,oh never mind.... Disney BOARD...

Jessie couldnt find him once she let hime out..

It was dark..Mickey is black..Poor kid has been through so much..

She thought she lost Mickey again..

Bobby

[MoranClan]

Hello..

Just Wondering...Or should I say Magicing..hahah

Whoever book with All Seasons...Did they receive a free gift?..

We were supposed too with our Docs, But Didnt..

Please let me know So I may Call Them..

Still not Sleeping Yet...

Bobby

[O'BWV]

Thanks everyone!

My kids are DD14 & DS 11. DD is a typical teenage girl which is why I gave her her own small suitcase. Heaven forbid her things should commingle with ours LOL!

I knew I had too much. I think if I rethink my suitcase I might be able to lose the carryon. Are any of you bringing mugs? Those four refillable Contemporary mugs take up alot of room. Do you suppose the sell similar type mugs in the gift shop because if they do I can lose them too.

And I am certainly not going to eliminate any booze NOT EVER!!


Note to self.....lose half of what you packed.....



Thanks much guys,
Mary Rose


PS Bobby - I think All Seas gives a gift in the cabin

[Reenieny18]

OH LYNN,,, does his hair grow in fast??
Bobby: its quite here tonight.. GO TO BED.. we need you to be ina party mode next week. Cant offord you to be sick now..

Terry and Melanie where are you????
Its boring tonight. My daughter wen to 6 flags today,, hubbie is sleeping and my son has all our suitcases at the door...
Doreen:earsgirl: :earsboy: :earsboy: :earsgirl: :earsgirl:

[Mjasp]

Just filled out our docs....That is something I really don't like to do, talk about repetition.

I am really not in the mood to go on this vacation. I hope something gives soon.

I think I need some Jack intravenously to get in the party mood.

Lyn...Good Luck with your son, but hair does grow. Tattoos are forever.

Going to 3 circles to visit J and T.

Joanna

[Reenieny18]

Joanna,,, what gives? What can we do to make you inthe mood???
Doreen

[lynr]

Joanna:

I am well aquainted with the tatoo. Did I mention that I also have a 24 year old who lives in California? He temporarily moved in with a tatoo artist and he now has them on his back and legs.

Matt my 17 year old who will be cruising with us got a tatoo last year after we can home from the cruise. He has a sun on his shoulder. Needless to say that I was not happy and it does last forever. My boys are good boys but I think they were put on this earth to torment their mother. But I love them anyway.

Oh and I forgot to mention that one year for "my" birthday my husband went and got a mickey mouse firefighter tatoo on his leg. Happy Birthday to me!!!!


Lyn:crazy:

[SeaSpray]

Hi everyone! :wave2: I'm here! I worked today, then stopped at a friend's house on the way home, made dinner, then we had one of our meetings to go to this evening(religious meeting. We have 3 meetings a week!).

Anyway, here I am! :sunny:

I actually SCREAMED this afternoon and scared DH and DSs! LOL They were all in the kitchen and I was walking down the hallway and it hit me like a bolt of lightning: OUR VACATION STARTS A WEEK FROM TOMORROW!!!! :hyper: They thought I saw a spider or something. :p (I never scream at spiders, I squish them. lol)

I will post the "1 week to go!" countdown tomorrow morning. Next Friday morning I will post a "1 DAY to go" post, for those us who might still be around!

This Sunday night I am having a pre-cruise party here at my house. I already bought tropical decorations to decorate the familyroom with. First of all, I'll make all of us sit down and fill out and sign the documents. Then I'll put them away and we'll have some kind of tropical dinner. I have no idea what yet. lol Then I'm going to give DH and DSs a "DCL Trivia test", and I have Disney Dollars and some other "prizes" that they can win. I know this might sound corny, but I just thought it sounded like a fun way to start the vacation early! I wish some of you lived close, I'd invite you over too! (Anyone near Boston?? LOL)

As far as packing goes, this is what I'm planning (Haven't started packing yet): 2 large suitcases (1 for me, 1 for DH), 2 medium suitcases (1 for each DS), 2 wheeled carry-on sized suitcases in which I'll pack our cameras, medications, bathing suits, and anything else I think we might need for the night before, at the Radisson. I'm *hoping* to not have to open the 4 bigger suitcases until we get on the ship. I'm also hoping to squeeze our dress clothes into the suitcases, since I am planning on sending them ALL out to be pressed as soon as we get onto the ship, anyway. This weekend I'm going to start packing, just to see if I do have the room to do that.

That's it for now... I hope all who are traveling tomorrow or this weekend has a wonderful trip, great weather, and arrive safely!!! We'll see you at the Radisson, or on the ship!!!!
:wave2:

[Mary Anne]

So funny that you're talking about packing. That is what I have spent a good part of this evening doing.

We travel light usually, 3 carry on's for the 4 of us. I have no problem doing wash when I'm in my DVC villa. however, with the dressy stuff, I am now thinking at a minumum 4 carry on's and one maybe two garment bags. Then there are the shoes and the other stuff, not to mention what we buy when we get to Flroida.

I am almost thinking we will have to check luggage on the plane. Haven't done that in at least 4 years (probably, the last cruise.)

DD14 & DS 11. DD is a typical teenage girl which is why I gave her her own small suitcase. Heaven forbid her things should commingle with ours LOL!

LOL , I have a 16 year old BOY like that.

[Karel]

My boys are upset that they have to 'share' suitcases - oh the horror. They could stay home too.

We're working on five suitcases - hoping to fit everything into these. Two carry ons and an 'on the road' bag. Plus the garmet bag. Too many shoes.

I'm not in the mood to pack. These last days are the worst. Too much to do, too much to think about.

Lyn - my son had his hair dyed blond the other day too but didn't get a short cut. It's suppose to be streaky blond but I think he looks like a calico cat. It's growing on me though.

[SeaSpray]

Speaking of teen sons and haircuts, I gave DS16 a haircut the other day. Its a crew cut, but a short one. He loves it, but I think he looks like a skin head :( His hair grows fast, though. lol

My DH is basically bald, so I do give him a very short crew cut, but it looks fine on him. DS13 will be taken for a haircut next week, he likes it short, but not a short crew cut.

[O'BWV]

Thanks for replying everyone! It seems like I have a bit more luggage than most but I'm not too out of whack. I lost some stuff and eliminated one bag, so now I'm down to 8. I can't see as how I'm going to get it any lower than that.


Mary Anne - that's funny about you 16-year-old son. My 11-year-old son didn't want to share either but he's still young enough for me to "persuade".

Karel - I like your style. You're right, they could share a suitcase or they could stay home - Love that!

Joanna - Sorry your not in the mood. I hope whatever is bringing you down clears up ASAP. Please let us know if there is anything we can do :grouphug:

-Mary Rose

[Mjasp]

I haven't started packing at all yet, actually haven't even looked through the kids closets yet, BUT I will take them school shopping tomorrow, so they will then have plenty.

Starting to feel a little (maybe a lot LOL) overwhelmed. Work is insane, the thought of what I will come back to makes me think if going is worth it in the first place. (but it is)

Tomorrow is one week. :Pinkbounc

Joanna

[Mjasp]

Anyone watching the news. They are talking about "AWOL" Alcohol WithOut Liquid You inhale through a machine for 20 minutes and then you get drunk. I really don't think It will be successful here, it makes its debut here tomorrow. I would rather taste what makes me tipsy rather than inhale it.

[Karel]

That sounds...sad. And something that AA will have a field day with.

[Mary Anne]

i just saw the promo for this on the news but didn't watch it (watching an infor commercial for Dean Martin tapes). Anyway, that is really strange, I want to enjoy the art of drinking it too!

We are in 7098. Right down the way from you.

I know I havn't been on the thread long. I wish I knew it existed before this. I would have loved to been one of gang.

I really am looking forward to meeting everyone.

We don't leave until 10 am Sat.

Hey! You are one of the gang! See you onboard.

Hi Bobby & Cindy, Bobby I sent you a PM about the magnets. Thanks! Kathy :wave2:

[winnyis]

Hi All... here I sit at 6AM AT WORK.... I came in extra early today so I can leave by 11 to take the kids to the dentist, orthodontist and then get my nails and toes done and then drop the hampster off at my DD's friends who is babysitting.

Im down to almost hours here.. WOOO HOOO - it seems like so long ago that I booked this trip and now it is almost here.

Mary-Rose... I totally agree with Doreen... if you need to save space - take your undies out before you take booze out.... Make room for Booze at all costs!!!

Lynr - dont worry about the mohawk we dont care... Last year at my DD's first communion my then 7 year old nephew walks into church with a mohawk with blue Gel in it. Picture the scene... packed church, all the kids in their dresses & suits, all the parents all dressed up and this little boy (who is adorable) all dressed up walking down the aisle with a blue mohawk... Everyone is turning and pointing at him. At the time DH and I were mortified - especially when he sat in our row. I even had one of my friends at work who's daughter was also making her communion come up to me and say "SO I see mohawk boy is with you". Im glad now I can look back and laugh... its only hair and in the grand scheme of things doesnt mean anything.

Ginny - Sounds like you have a busy day ahead, so I just want to take a sec. to wish you a safe and wonderful trip to WDW and we'll see you at the Radisson next Friday! Woo Hoo & Yippee! Looking forward to many a smoothie drink onboard!


Terry - Thanks for the "last" weekly countdown. I guess you maybe need to start a daily one!

Jill - You most certainly are one of the gang. You are bringing the kamikazes right? then you're most certainly a full-fledged, card-carrying, member of the "Booze Cruise"LOL. Also, are you using a Disney arranged flight? I ask because I believe they do everything humanly possible for you to make the boat and so then you wouldn't have to be concerned. If you booked your own air maybe you could move it up to an earlier flight if your at all concerned. I remember years ago DH and I sailed on the Big Red Boat. We had a 9 am same day flight and we made it to the boat fine..


-Mary Rose

[lynr]

Ginny:

Have a safe trip down to Florida and a great week before the cruises we will see you on board.

I totally agree about the hair. My husband is going crazy but I really don't care when it comes right down to it.

I hope you day flies by. Your schedule today is just like mine, ortho, dentist, finger nails, toe nails and hair. Tomorrow I am having a new heater installed so we haven't even gotten the suitcases down yet, maybe Sunday.

Here's my countdown: Only 4 MORE DAYS OF WORK!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!:bounce: :Pinkbounc

Lyn:wave2:

P.S. we have change our hotel the day before the cruise to the Polynesian, maybe I'll see someone there.

[admepo]

Good Morning all! :wave:

Lots of cruise prepping and packing planned for today so probably will not be online much (hopefully anyway so I can get some things done!) Hoping to have the mess I have made in my bedroom straightened into organized packing piles and begin to pack the suitcases for next week. I have to finish preparing my packets of emergency info for my DSister and DSIL who will be taking care of our three little darlings! It is sad how much info needs to be left for all of those "Just in case" instances! :crazy:

Also dreading the last minute cruise shopping we have to complete this weekend! Hopefully we will find everything we need easily since most stores here are pretty much back to normal after the hurricane. Thinking I can find a smoothie maker somewhere for decent price...either that or steal SIL's! ;)

Will try to check the boards again later! Otherwise - will "talk" to all of you tomorrow. :wave2:

Melanie

[MoranClan]

If it makes you feel better I can have little Bobby gel his hair into a mohawk. He keeps it like that if he's in the pool or shower anyway, but I must insist he pass on the color!

My 3 kids all begged for their own suitcases on wheels and I gave in because they are all on wheels, and everyone can roll their own. I have the Daddy suitcase filled with just shoes, the Mommy suitcase filled with my clothes, another Mommy suitcase filled with Daddy and leftover Katie clothes, a few carryons, and a rather large garment bag, abag for our overnight stay on the road for thurs, a small suitcase for the raddisson filled with what we will wear to board on sat, which will be our booze carryon once we get dressed sar morn! I will probably have to pack one more bag for toiletries and meds, the dont seem to be fitting in any of my suitcases.....

I dont think its too much... The problem is I keep shopping and adding!

I can't wait
Cindy::MinnieMo

JOANNA CALL IF YOU WANT A SHOPPING BUDDY TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[paulinewdw]

Almost all packed...so far 5 suitcases(one for each of us) and then one extra for those things I need to throw in at the last minute...I brought a small steamer which I hope will get the wrinkles out of stuff(DH wanted to go buy garment bags...but since everything is all packed I vetoed!) We also each have carryons...dh must bring his computer...but I am going to watch amovie on it (I hate to fly and hopefully it will be a good diversion-RADIO...anyone see it?) . I know we have way too much stuff ...but sixteen days is a long time!

Did I mention that we have a wedding to attend the day we return...we arrive at noon and the wedding is at 4PM!

See you all on the cruise...and to whomever is also staying at OKW next week...look us up !!!!

[Reenieny18]

MARY ROSE I did the BIG RED BOAT as well.. What a dingy compared to todays cruisers..:eek:
Ginny: I will miss you the next few days... Start making ice at the Raddison. You must be so excited. Remember having 200 days to go and happy to hit single digits at 99? now you have hours..:Pinkbounc Terry, 7, 6 5 4 3 2 1 yeahhhhhh.. Thanks for a great count Down!!! Melanie: dont forget the permission for treatment paper for the kids.. Just in case. Sorry thats the ER nurse in me. I am sure the kids will be fine and after CHARLEY you and ADAM need this time alone. Joanna: I saw that AWAOL stuff on the news. They said they already have groups that want it banned. Its big push is that you can have beer and no CARBS!. I am sorry, I am not going to INHALE my drink to be skinny. Isn't that a double negative or something?:rolleyes:CINDY: what is wrong with more shopping... Shhh don't let Bobby read that...:teeth:

Be safe to all..

[xABearx]

Hey guys, I haven’t posted in quite a while ….. today is my last day of work till 9/8 and will be packing this weekend and hitting the road on 8/25 to Orlando. We will be staying at Saratoga Springs till Saturday morning at which time we’ll hit the road to PC … can’t wait….hope everyone has a great weekend and a safe trip from where ever you all are coming from ……. Andy

[Mjasp]

Oh Gee...You can't even go to sleep at night and not awaken to a full page of posts, I love it!

It's hard to answer, now I have to go back and see what to answer.

Terry...Thanks for the weekly countdown. I agree, a daily one would be great and since I am off today and tomorrow and am leaving next Friday, I also have only

:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc (4) working days to go.

Jill...You ARE one of the gang.

Ginny...We did the orthodontist yesterday and I will be doing nails and we (the girls and I) will be also doing pedicures this weekend. We all need haircuts this week, remember school starts the Tuesday after we get back. I also have the dentist today.

Ginny...What do you do for a living that you can go to work at 6 AM.

Lyn...Tell your DH to go with the flow and not stress over the small stuff. Hair will grow back and dye grows out. (all too fast, if you ask me)

Melanie... You are very lucky to have someone you can leave your children with. Enjoy the cruise. When my mom babysits, my kids just love it, they want us to stay out later LOL

Cindy...I have a 4 PM dental appointment. I am going to try to get it moved up. I am OFF this weekend. Samantha really wants to go to Build a Bear workshop today. If I don't get there today I will try to get there some other time this weekend, so I will give you a call if we go to that side of the world. I haven't been to that mall in a looong time. And it is cruise time and back to school shopping, so a reason to shop and justify the trip that far to that mall and not the malls within a stones throw.

Our last cruise we had 11 suitcases, 8 checked and 3 carry ons. I plan on lightening the load this time as I realized we didn't nearly use all the clothes or shoes we brought.

Key West...What is everyone doing? We had the Glass bottom catamaran on our list, but we quickly decided against it after I saw the excursion only got 1 star in the passporter. I need ideas please.

Joanna

[Mary Anne]

Pauline if you are still around, I just sent you a PM.

You know my very first cruise was on the Oceanic, which in turn became The Big Red Boat 25 years or so later. It the Top of the Line Ship when it was brand new. I still compare every ship I'm on to it.

I'm starving but I keep saying, I'll be eating in another week so I keep passing on snacks. My kids are starving as I haven't bought much at all this week.

Oh well, my five minute break is up, gotta get back to doing my housework and packing.

Catch up later.

[Mary Anne]

Ok I just realized you might read that last post as I haven't feed my kids LOL - Trust me they have eaten, I just haven't brought much Junk food. Therefore, they are STARVING

[Mjasp]

I know exactly what you mean. I laugh when after dinner my kids look for a snack and open the cabinet and say "I'm starving" I didn't even clean the table off yet, so I then offer any leftover vegetables LOL

[O'BWV]

Joanna - We are planning on renting a four person electric car in Key West and see the sites.

Andy - Last day of work WooHoo! You have a safe journey too & we'll see you at the meet!

Doreen - I was on the Big Red Boat twice. Once before kids and once with them. I always enjoyed my cruises with them. I am probably in the minority there - but hey, I'm a cheap date LOL!



-Mary Rose

[lynr]

Joanna:

Wise choice on the Catamaran. We did that last year and it was awful. We couldn't see anything because all the people sat around the glass panels and not everyone fits. In my opinion it was a waste of time and money.

Lyn:sunny:

[Karel]

We were on the Big Red Boat for our honeymoon. It was so short, I don't remember much about it. We didn't stay on Disney property and I'll always regret that. There's so much I didn't know back then!

Key West - I think we're just going to walk around a bit and then enjoy the ship. I hoping we can meet up with my brother in law, who lives in the Keys.

Lucky you no work until 9/8. Are they hiring, I'm always looking for a change. LOL

[admepo]

Taking a break so checking the boards.... See! I can't stay away!!!! :crazy:

Joanna... my sister will be staying in our house with our three boys. She is single with no children so it should be quite an adventure for her LOL - I am going to take before and after photos of her to remember the occasion. My SIL will be handling the transport to school for DS age 6 and DS age 3 (her kids in same schools) and then watching my DS age 1 while my sister is at work. Doreen...I have ANY kind of emergency note imaginable for them - medical, school, insurance, ANYTHING!!! I have a manilla folder for each of them with numbers, our itinerary, insurance cards, household info, etc! I am such an overplanner but when it comes to those three little boys, I have a hard time not being over zealous!!!! :rolleyes:

Have fun everyone who is leaving today and this weekend! I am VERY jealous :teeth: Can't wait to go! But we will see you all next weekend.

Ok, back to the bedroom for more cleaning and more packing and more cleaning and more packing............

[gdulaney]

I'm starting to feel like "Pork" ... you remember those commercials for the "other white meat"?

It's me...the other Ginny checking in. While hubby's last day is today...I have to work on Monday and Tuesday; however, I'm leaving a bit early on Monday (dentist appt) and I'm working at home on Tuesday (eye dr appt). Plus...between this weekend and Tuesday night, we have to clean the bathrooms & the kitchen, both of us are getting haircuts (no mohawks, as far as I can tell), tips & toes (mani/pedi), pull down the suitcases, begin to pack, take the ferrets to their grandparent's house (my mom and dad), and take out the trash. Then on Tuesday night, we'll pack up the Jeep and very early Wednesday, we'll head to FL. Whoa, I'm tired just reading it!!!!

As for suitcases...as far as checked luggage, we have three. The big one (for my stuff), the medium one (for Andy's stuff), and a garment bag (dress clothes). Carry-ons...we have a small rolling suitcase (aka the liquor store...beer, cokes, etc), my HUGE tote (books, magazines, my Disney Cruise Line guide, and my 3-ring binder, which has info on each port along with coupons and printouts of the menus), a toiletries bag and a bag (it's really the softsided cooler in disguise) for electronics. Oh crud... Andy's bringing his XM radio...so that will probably go in the rolling tote...so the beer may go in the cooler, or on a rolling luggage tote. Hmmm... something else to think about. Maybe Andy could just carry the XM radio?

I have to go in search of a Coke (without rum) and do some work. For those who are leaving --- be safe!! See you in FL!!!

Bobby

[invaderzim]

AARRGGGHH, need to vent. Have had a very hazardous two months and Tuesday CANNOT come fast enough. Between skin chemo and car problems and house flooding...and then today we had plumbing problems. My husband hurt his neck yesterday and I've been running around like a maniac trying to replace my prescription glasses, but they can't seem to find the prescription where I got them before!

Two months ago I started laying out items for the cruise, making lists, doing paperwork and I thought -- wow, I am going to be so on top of it this time. But unforeseen circumstances have now caused me to be in the "I'm not packed yet and can't even get to the luggage" mode -- my cruise documents aren't even filled out.

Anyway, just needed to let off some steam. Seems like this last week has had it's share of roadblocks.

I sure am looking forward to a Bahama Mama :drinking1 :cloud9:

[Mary Anne]

invaderzim You really need this vacation. Cheer up, it'll all come together and if you forget something not to worry, that is why they have expensive gift shops on board.

I too feel like I'm never going to get done here. My boys are still at work and I was really counting on them to help me a bit tonight. They'll be dead tired when they get in and I don't have the heart to make them do anything. They've both worked 8 weeks this summer earning all their own spending money.

[Reenieny18]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDY:cake: :bday: We will see you on board INVADERZIM your just being normal for our cruise... We all had the illnessess, back injury, tooth pains and car.house problems. Feel free to vent here all you need too..
Join the AUG 28 club...
Bobby and Cindy? when do you leave?
Ginny D... we all must have had dental appointments today. We were running again today.. Just finished my pillow case for my son to have for the trip.. Its so cute.
Good luck to all who leave in the AM.. see you on board. I think we all have LIME GREEN to wear for the first DIS meet..

One week... and we are there WHAHOOO:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

[Reenieny18]

I kwow what you mean by not having junk food so they starve. I have been on WW.. so the fatty stuff was few and far. The FRIDGE can be loaded. and they open it and say " ma, there's nothing to eat!!!!" I can shoot them ..lol:crazy:
Did the original GINNY leave tonight??


Doreen

[Mary Anne]

Tonight I'm pushing Pizza for dinner. I spent all day cleaning the kitchen and no way am I doing any cooking to get it dirty :lol

I personally keep thinking about all the good food that will be coming my way in a week. Yum!

[Reenieny18]

My son cleans for me,,lol I am spoiled. We redid our house last Spring,, and as things accumulate... the counter gets umm ,, a bit lost...Now Pizz, that was a good idea... not like they need home cooked meals for the next few days. Let them get used to WDW..lol
Doreen

[Mary Anne]

Actually we're in a 1 bedroom at the oKwest next week. I'm planning on cooking dinner a couple of nights there. Fast easy stuff, but still cooking.

I do laundry too on vacation. :earseek: But in the DVC it is so easy, it's right in the room. I do the towels in the morning and then our clothing in the evening. Takes no time at all and really cuts down on the packing. For a 10 day trip, we take 4 outfits each. One worn, three packed.

[winnyis]

Hi Guys...

Happy Birthday Sandy!!

Doreen - No Im not gone yet so your gonna have to wait a little while longer to start bashing me... LOL

I am finally done with all the things on my list today.. I am totally packed and the car is even loaded up. We have 8 hours left til we leave for the airport. All I need to do it get a shower and lay out the kids clothes for tomorrow. Then hopefully get a few hours sleep before I have to get up at 3AM.

My kids would kill for pizza about now.. they have been eating leftovers all week because I refused to go food shopping this week.

I probably wont get a chance to log on again before we leave so I wish you all a safe journey down to florida and I cant wait to meet you guys.

"The Original" Ginny

[lynr]

I have a confession to make, you won't believe this but I haven't even gotten the suitcases down from the attic yet. I keep reading that your all packed and ready to go and look at me. Tomorrow we are having a new heater put in so I didn't want to think about packing until that mess is cleaned up.

Wanta bet that I will be forgetting something.

I went and had my nails done today and of course I smudged one on the way to have my hair dyed. Oh, and my hair came out way too blonde it looks awful. I was thinking about going back to the salon but then if they redye it, it will be even more dry.:crazy:

Have a great night!

Lyn

[Reenieny18]

"The Original" Ginny Thats how we call you... Or wait.. we have to see how much BOOZE the "OTHER" Ginny brings and if she shares..
3am.. Thats when I got up the past 2 nights. I am so tired.. Had a DR appt at 1030.. and I could have slept on the table.. Had 4 shots this time in my ankle scar.. HURT LIKE:confused: can't say on here.. This were not as bad as last months though.Mary Ann blonde moment here but, What is the DVC?? I do laudry as well. ( more room for booze). I will do it Friday at WDW..
GINNY have fun and good luck on the way down there... See you Saturday

Doreen

[Reenieny18]

Lyn.. you have a week.. maybe it may fad a bit.. Well, at least is is not BLUE> ( sorry).
Hey who had the DH with a SPEDO again..
I wonder if he had hair??
Doreen

[trinibjill]

Reading all of the postings has inspired me to start packing.

I went thru my clothes & most don't fit (too small). Solution - SHOPPING - I havn't bought that many clothes for myself since I bought 6 summer dresses at animal kingdom. I spent almost $500. Wow that was fun. The military PX had some bargains on summer clothes.

Then I went to the class six store (liquor store) & bought the ingredients for the kamakazies.

Then I raided the change jar. I guess that will be the tip money.

Happy birthday Sandy .

Safe trips for those ready to leave.

Jill:crazy: :wave:

[Mary Anne]

DVC = Disney Vacation Club - It's like a timeshare only it's right on Disney Property. OKWest, BoardWalk Villa, Beach Club Villa, Wilderness Lodge Villa and the the Saratoga Springs are all part of the DVC. In fact we are using our points to cruise. A lot of people say it's not the best use of points but we bought in with the options of using them to cruise every couple of years. My 5 nights in Disney before the cruise and the cruise cost of 570 points in total (470 for the cruse and 10o for 5 nights at the OKWest 1 bedroom) (We get 400 per year) so we've borrowed a bit from next year but we'll still have enough to spend a week at Disney if we want. The only cash outlay I had for the cruise was the $75 transfer fee to book the cruise instead of a DVC hotel. Keep in mind this is for 4 people, so to us it was a good deal!

We haven't been on a cruise in 4 years and we are all so looking forward to being on the Magic again.

[invaderzim]

Reenieny18

Congratulations -- you made me laugh out loud!! That was great. I love it -- the August 28th club! Hope it has a great bar LOL.

See you all next Saturday (panic is now officially setting in). :crazy:

Cathy

[Reenieny18]

Yup.. your one of us.
SHOPPING when you have cloths that ae too small.. Gotta love it.
Doeen:teeth:

[O'BWV]

Doreen - I believe it is Kathy's best friend's husband that is Speedo Man. I wonder if he has the bod to carry off the Speedo - so few do.....so few do....


Mary Anne - I have cruised with points also. Didn't have enough this time, but last time I did. Can you believe we have been members since 1999 and have never stayed in a DVC resort. I use my points how I see fit that's why I bought them. So obviously I believe there is no such thing as a poor use of points! For two days at the end of the cruise we'll be at OKW for the first time. We own at Boardwalk (hence my DIS name O'BWV, O'B for O'Brien & BWV for Boardwalk Villas) I wonder when we'll stay there? BTW, besides my home, DVC has been the best purchase of our lives.

Ginny - God Speed!! Can't wait to meet you!


Lyn - Sorry about your hair. I dyed my yesterday and for some reason my roots came out really light. I look like I have a skunk stripe down my part or it looks like my head is wearing a thong. I'm gonna try and fix it before I leave. Funny, this never happen to me before and I really look funny.




-Mary Rose

[Mary Anne]

Mary Rose, we bought into the DVC on our last Disney Cruise in 20000; We paid cash for that cruise. We own at BWV and at SS. Our feeling is points are to be used as you want to use them; no right way no wrong way.

We've paid points to go holiday times; week-end; you name it; I've also spent two week in Disney checking in and out on week-ends to save points.

Our next plan to to rent the OkWest Grand Villa for 5 days in 2006 and take family with us! In August it is only 250 points for the 5 days.

I've stayed at both the OkWest and BWV. We love Boardwalk for the area and OkWest for the laid back quiet LARGE (really large) rooms! I have to say we are a bit of a snob though, never stayed in a studio only one bedrooms and once a two bedroom for one night (we had guests).

[O'BWV]

Mary Anne - It must be great to have 400 points that is awesome. We only have 150 but it's enough for us to stay at the Contemporary for the Mon - Fri period and pay cash on the weekends. I'm looking forward to staying at OKW after the cruise. We are staying in a studio because we do need the Sat. stayover and still the Sat & Sun nites only cost 28 points. That leaves us enough points to go the Contemporary for 5 nights during Jersey week in Nov. DD is dancing in front of Cinderella's Castle with her dancing school. I can't believe how far 150 points go. 400 points must be great!


-Mary Rose

[Mary Anne]

Mary Rose, trust me once you stay in a DVC room be it a Studio or One bedroom, you won't use your points to stay in a regular Disney hotel again.

But that's the best part of DVC, you can use your points to do what you want with them. studiom, reg Disney Hotel, cruise! Like you said, best buy we ever did.

[Mjasp]

Cathy...I was feeling the same way with illness (not the catchy kind) It was too much of a chore to pack and such, I was getting VERY overwhelmed and really not looking forward to going. I've had my docs for a long time now and just filled them out last night and not without moaning and groaning.

I think we all need to start the drinking festivities to relax a little.

Bobby, you too are already on vacation? Why don't you head out tomorrow then if you are done working. You can always stay at my mother in laws instead of a hotel.

Watching the olympics, boy those divers are making me nervous.

[Mjasp]

For whoever is taking a limo to the port from the airport, which company did you use and if you don't mind what was the price. DD8 has always wanted to take a limo and since she has been not well lately, I may cave and go for it and surprise her.

TIA

Bobby has a honey-do list. Please don't encourage him to leave early! I probably won't see him for a whole day after this vacation until next years vacation! How did the shopping go?

We also had Dr. and dentist visits today.
Jessie has a whole tooth again:Pinkbounc

We are leaving on Thursday sometime in the afternoon. We need to visit with the new baby and drop off the dog in Howard Beach sometime before we leave.

And of course we need to pick up wine etc... Im voting for the creamsicle drinks. I've already shopped for larger sized clothes,given up my diet, and can't wait to eat myself silly next week!

[trinibjill]

I have a question I hope someone has the answer.

It is about the room account & charging.

My DD, Laurie, wants to have a seperate account for her instead of putting it all on mine. Is this possible?

Hope everyone is feeling better this morning. Two days ago I was feeling a little down. But, now that it's only days away I'm feeling a little excited.

Thanks

Hi everyone!

After a trip to Walmart for some more cruise stuff, we are home relaxing. Tomorrow we have to do last minute clothes shopping.....LARGER sizes along with the rest of you... the word "DIET" will not enter my vocab until September 5th!!!!! I figured the poor CM's go to so much trouble to make such good foods and desserts that we CAN NOT as avid Disney lovers disappoint them by not eating it ALL!!!!!!!!! ::yes:: Now when I get home and step on the scale, that will be a different story strewn with tears.......

We vote for pre-cruyise drinking! We bought a few packs of Kahlua Mudslide drinks at Walmart this morning to enjoy today. And have begun the "at this time next week....." talks!

Was supposed to get my highlights redone but then Charley hit and blew that idea (and my appointment!) so I am slightly highlighted but mainly dark blonde roots! :rolleyes:

Reenie...Don't worry we will all help you with keeping up the banter and sarcastic jabs now that the original Ginny is gone! Your DIS family is here for you!

Happy belated birthday Sandy! princess:

Everyone have a great day!

Melanie

[lynr]

Jill:

I don't know if this will help but they list each card on the bill so you can easily see how much each person charged. I have never asked if there can be two accounts on one room.

Lyn

[trinibjill]

Lyn Thanks for the info.

One more week of work (I work from Sun - Thu) It will be all I can do to not call off sick early.. I plan on starving myself this week then enjoy all of the good food.

Melanie

[MoranClan]

Been looking for A Captain Jack Sparrow Hat, but cant find any...

If anyone sees one, let me know

Bobby

[admepo]

Has anyone checked the disney store for pirate stuff??? I know that Party City here has all kinds of anything so I will check there tomorrow for Pirate stuff! And maybe some 60s night/70s night stuff too!!!

Melanie

[lynr]

Bobby:

I reloaded another picture hopefully this is right.

Lyn

[Reenieny18]

Yeah, I went to PARTY CITY I never thought of 60s stuff though... Bummer. Melanie, I went to WALMART and got a TIE DYE kit. Its found in the arts and craft part.
BOBBY HELPPPPPP!!! I have the same problem that LYN had.. how do I get the pic to be without all those words after it.?? If you need a password IM me.
Doreen

[lynr]

Doreen:

I don't see those words on your picture. Do you see them on mine?

Lyn

[MoranClan]

I dont see any words..

What do they say?..

Bobby

[lynr]

Bobby:

The words are now gone. They looked like an http address.

Lyn:sunny:

[Mjasp]

Lyn...Look at you, you computer wiz. All of a sudden you are showing different pics. I am hoping my DD12 shows me how to use her digital camera.

[Mjasp]

I am starting to iron, after I iron, do you think it is too early to pack the clothes I ironed?

I want to get done, have nail and pedicure appt tomorrow, Hair on Wednesday, boy it is getting close.

Starting to get rid of that overwhelmed feeling. Went into DD8's closet today and she is pretty much set on school clothes, went to staples and finished buying her school supplies. I am ready to go, to bad work is going to be awful this week. All the MD's are back from vacation.

Talk to you later, in between sets of clothes LOL

Joanna

[Reenieny18]

Lynn and Bobby... ok your right, ,all the words are correct, and LYNN your words are correct too..Joanna: I ironed everything and just put them on my garmet bag,, not folded up..I figured I can always leave them in the bath during a hot shower with the door shut!
ok the tie dyes are done.. that was fun and not all that messy... We will see how they look in the AM..

DOREEN:crazy:

[Mary Anne]

I am hoping my DD12 shows me how to use her digital camera.

Not to worry, I have a 12 and 16 year old that can help you. Good thing too, or I wouldn't have any pictures myself.

[pattiteach]

Ok everyone, about to have a meltdown here, because ours kids have no idea about the cruise and we are not telling them until Saturday morning at 3:00am when our surprise limo picks us up. It is very hard to keep everything under wraps. I can't wait to tell everyone how we did it. Only a couple more days until we meet everyone!!!!!See you soon!!!!!

[Reenieny18]

How are you doing everything without them knowing? how old are they? how are you packing.. I think that is great... you can hold out one more week..

Doreen

[Reenieny18]

I did see a hat the style of Jack Sparrow It was at Party City.
Basicaly it was a brown doo-rag type bandana thing that was put on your head with a fishnet tie aroung that.. Then it had a string of beads hanging to the side.. I was going to get it but it wouldnt fit my hear.. I didnt think
I was that much of a FATHEAD.. I could have bought it, take it apart and re-tie it to fit me of course.. It was $15.. I think..
Do you have a PARTY CITY near you?? DISNEY STORE had HOOK costumes with the hook and sword. It was a soft felt sword,, but I didnt want trouble onthe plane...

DOreen

[pattiteach]

Doreen, I am telling them we are going down the shore. But... It is soooooo hard. Talking to you guys is my saving grace.......

[Mjasp]

Pattiteach...OMG, how old are your kids? You have to let us know the outcome.

Doreen...Don't forget the Downey Wrinkle Releaser (my saving grace).

Joanna

[Reenieny18]

I am sitting here onthe laptop,, re reading all the post on this THREAD.. Can you remember the first page you posted? I thought it would be nice to see when we all first posted...

Joanne. I never heard of that.. IS it easy to use? my sister has a steamer that she is bringing.. Tomorrow mornign we can say " WE ARE GOING TO WDW THIS WEEK... yeah.. well ok in 5 min I can say that..


Doreen... :Pinkbounc :thewave: :cloud9: :thewave:

[lynr]

Doreen:

I swear by Downey Wrinkle Reducer. I had to hunt all around for it because a lot of the stores in NJ don't carry it anymore, but I found it in the Acme. You just spray it on the clothes when they are on the hangers pull the clothes snug and poof all the wrinkles are gone.

Doreen...I would like to read all the posts again, but since you are looking through them all, you should let us know the first time we all posted. LOL

On the serious side, I used Downy Wrinkle releaser on my first cruise and I still use it at home, especially on Tee shirts, just spritz and pull and you are wrinkle free. I don't know about dress clothes but for all the shorts and tee shirts its a charm.

Who is going to WDW THIS week?

[admepo]

Good Morning everyone!

Mom is coming to visit today and spending time with our boys in the a/c (she still has no power in Charlotte Co.) while Adam and I cruise shop for last minute clothes, items, etc! Very excited!!!! Hopefully I won't be crying in the fitting rooms having to buy those larger sizes!!! LOL

Question to all.... Has anyone used the ship's laundry service to press their clothing? How many items (estimate) did you send out and how much was it??? I have been hunting for Downy wrinkle releaser and can't find it anywhere here for over a month. I really do not want to iron - HATE it at home so I certainly don't want to be doing it on the cruise!!!! Am considering sending them my laundry too so I don't have to do it and take the $$$ from our suvenior budget. Isn't that sad??? I know the penny pincher in me will probably wind up doing it myself but wanted any feedback on this.

Melanie

[Karel]

I LOVE Downy wrinkle releaser. I found mine at Target. I hate to iron too.

It's going to be a very long two days. I just want to jump in the car and start driving.

[Mary Anne]

I think it is between 2.50 and 3.50 per item to have it ironed by them. I've already made up my mind to do it. I figure we'll have maybe 10 items so at the most it is $30. I rarely buy any stuff, so I'm just going to treat myself to this!

We're on our way, so I look forward to seeing all of you next week. Have safe trips. See you all between Fri and Sat!

[Reenieny18]

Lynn,, can I ask you to get some Downy for me and I will pay you back in cash?? If your going to the store that is.. I have to go to Rochester
NY today,, so manybe they do have it there.. Never a bad idea to have more than one..
MARY ANNE> have a safe trip..
Is the gretest feelng to say "WE ARE GOING TO FLORIDA THIS WEEK>> ":sunny: Joanne just because I am packed doesnt mean I have all that time to go through
ALL the posts,,lol...We go to WDW Wednesday btw..:earsgirl: :earsboy:

Have a safe day,and Melanie: have fun shopping.. my favorite pastime...:hyper:
Doreen

[pattiteach]

Doreen, you can always borrow some of your fellow DISers Downy. It sounds like we are all bring it. We are more than happy to share. My kids ages are 4,DD, 7, DS and 10 Ds. This pass week is stressing me out, trying to keep the secret, I will definately need the relaxation!!!!Also if anyone is a wine drinker, I have brought a couple of LARGE bottles and will need help finshing them...... on the 8th floor just look for my maget THE DELUCA'S and join us!!!!

[Mjasp]

Melanie...Target has the Downy wrinkle releaser. It is cheaper there than the supermarket and Target is practically around the corner from us. The Downy is good for the Tee shirts and shorts, on our last cruise we sent all our dress clothes out to be pressed. It was somewhere around 20 something dollars. We will be doing it again. go to www.dcltribute.com and click on FAQ's and then scroll to laundry and click on it and there will be a price list.

Doreen...If you don't find the Downy today, (check your local supermarket also) and if Karel can't get it, let me know.

Love my wine, so Mrs. DeLuca, I'll see you on deck 8. By the way, what category do you have?

Joanna

[lynr]

Doreen:

No problem I will pick it up for you at the store today. You are going to love it.

I used the ship's laundry service to iron my dressy dress and I thought it was around $2.00 but I really don't remember. I am still using them for the tuxedo shirts I want them nice and crisp.

We will be in Disney on Friday at the Polynesian. Doing MGM in the morning Prime Time 50's for lunch at 1:00 PM if anyone wants to meet us there, and then we eating a the Castle at 7:05 for dinner.

Lyn

[Mjasp]

Lyn...I changed your hotel on page one to the Polynesian.

[lynr]

Joanna:

Thanks for changing that. I couldn't help myself when the discount came out Iwas drawn back home to the Polynesian. Our friends were supposed to stay there but has since cancelled their plans.

If you want to it's not a big deal you can take Amanda off she won't be joining us. Imagine a 17 year old girl quitting school, and then moving with her 23 year old boyfriend to Texas. That would have happened in my house over my dead body. I can't imagine what her parents were thinking!

Thanks again,

Lyn

[MoranClan]

Hi everyone!

Today was my last day of work before the cruise. Just to clarify, my kids sorted all of the magnets for everyone. They had a ball doing it! Stuffing the envelopes was like making Halloween goody bags for them.
Joanna- I ironed the other day and left everything hanging . I will put it all into the garmant bag on Wed night. I hope all of my stuff won't wrinkled, what a waste of time that would have been.

It's a beautiful day here and we are off to see the new baby. First time since the day he was born! Maybe today I'll even get to hold him!!!!!

See you during the week!!!
Cindy::MinnieMo

[Reenieny18]

I went to 3 stores here in Syracuse , but I found it in Rochester today. If you already bought it ,, dont worry I still will buy it from you.. unless someone else needs it too.. But I am sure we can use it too.. and I have a sister with me too that can use it. Thank you so much for doing that for me..
Ok We have to have a END OF THE CRUISE DRINK THE REST OF THE BOOZE PARTY.... on Friday... Start at one room and stay until the bottles are gone,, go to the next room,,lol

Sunny day here.. still want to KOHLS and did more shopping....:sunny:

Doreen

[Mjasp]

Just got back from Target, bought my Downy too LOL

Also picked up the 2 way radios for the kids (just in case I get brave and let wander.

I'll second the finish the booze party on Friday.

Joanna

[lynr]

Doreen:

Don't worry I will just leave it home I can always use a back up.

Lyn:sunny:

[sandygirl]

Wow, you guys are on the ball. I have never heard of the Downey wrinkle releaser. Now I have to go on a hunt for it. I did buy a steamer and plan on using that, but think the Downey sounds good for T's. How does it smell?

I packed most of our clothes last night. I use freezer bags and get out as much air as I can. It is so eay to pack that way. I can see everything and so can airport security, so they don't need to rummage around in my undies! Plus it keeps things together by category which makes unpacking easier, too. I don't have our formal things packed. They are hanging together, though. I'm still debating about whether to do a slight alteration on my dress. Have to decide tonight or I won't have time.

I bought a bottle of Champagne for embarkation night. I also bought 2 other bottles of local wine, but one is gone already. I think the other may bite the dust tonight. Oh well, there is always the wine package onboard.

I have 4 more days of work before we fly out on Fri. Tue, Wed & Thurs I will have to drive to Trenton and back for training. I'm looking forward to the training but hate the traffic. I'm completely spoiled by working so close to home.

Went to the mall today. I also hate shopping! I know that is sacreligious, but it is true. DD needed all white sneakers for school, no color what so ever. Do you know how hard they are to find? Finally found a pair that had removeable charms on the laces. Thank goodness she wears a uniform to school.

Cindy - tell the kids thanks for sorting the magnets. I'll bet they had fun.

All of you who did tie-dye, you are brave souls! Can't wait to see you all looking so 70ish and all you pirates!

[Reenieny18]

Joanne, what deck are you on? on Tuesday night,,, I will print the pages from Jason site so I will know who is who ,,in the terminal..lol
We have 1 check in each (4) my hubbie and I have a garmet bag for each of us (2), and each of us have a carry on or back pack (5) my one carry on is like a tote bag with all the important papers and my purse type stuff.. At DCL we will check in 6 peices for a family of 4,.... We really consolidated a lot... After next FRIDAY,, the suitcases will be empty of drink stuff..OF COURSE!!:tongue:
THIS WEEK:Pinkbounc THIS WEEK:Pinkbounc
DOREEN

[Reenieny18]

Lynn, I didn't see your post!!I agree with you about the 23 yr old.. What a fool.. What were her parents thinking about?
Are you sure about the Downy> Please bring it,, my sister wants it.. Trust me,, I hate to iron as well.. I will go through the whole bottle in WDW itself..lol:crazy: Sandy: enjoy the wine.. we have plenty of others stuff of the cruise. I have 2 bottle of wine stuff too!!:boat:Joanna: you just remined me,, I got 2 ways esp for this trip,, I CAN'T FIND THEM....:scratchin
Better look some more..
Doreen

[Mjasp]

Doreen...we are on deck 5.

Good isea about printing out Jason's page. So of a;; of us, how many do you think will actually go to the DIS meet at the Promenade Lounge and how many do you think will show up on Key West night for the Beatles gig?

4 days of work here also, with a hair appt. on Wednesday evening.

[lynr]

Doreen:

I will bring the Downey for your sister. What cabin is she in? I will hang in on the door so that she doesn't have to carry it after the meet. I am in 6034.

Sandygirl:

Downey smells really great and works really well for tees, sundresses and such. I have never tried it on suits.

Is anyone making name tags?

Last year we have a huge turn out for the meet after the drill. We took group pictures but mine turned out dark. I was hoping they can turn up the lights so they turn out better this year. I hope everyone brings their kids so that they can get acquainted. I think a lot of the teens have been talking already.

We have a busy week this week hopefully it goes by fast. Doctors, dentist again, Bob needs his hair cut and my niece is off to college so were are having a going away dinner for her. My boss is on vacation so I can pretty much goof off, good thing because my mind will be on the cruise.

Lyn:teeth:

[O'BWV]

Good Evening Friends!

I've been MIA today first trying to fix my skunk-stripe hair (think I did okay there) and second, putting the X-Cargo on top of the car! YIPPEE YIPPEE. Finally the packing is winding down. I ran today to pick up some juice boxes for my friend's three-year-old. They are flying and since I'm driving I told her I bring what I could for her. Needless to say that was before I packed the 100-pound-bag-of-booze and packed all the bags & carryons I'm allowed. Well, at least I can help the little one. And, you know, I'm happy to share my booze!LOL My friend is traveling with 50 family & friends. Doesn't that sound like great fun!

I also agree about the Downy wrinkle releaser. Not being too much of a Suzy Homemaker I swear by the stuff!

Well friends, we begin the last of the work weeks before we all sailaway!! Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc

I forth the drink until kids need to walk you home party. That's their job right?!! Joanna I am in a family suite cat.5 anyone near me? I will be at the Dis meet for sure on the first day. At the 60's night are we able to bring kids? Not sure if they will be OK away from us and in the clubs... I think my husband is starting to pray for the miracle of adult fun to happen... hope they will give us 5 mins of free time.....

[Reenieny18]

Good night everyone..

[pattiteach]

MikesMom are you here?? We are on the same deck and our kids are the same age. Hopefully we can meet up. It is very crazy here right now with the trip, and I am a philly special education teacher, and it looks like we are going to strike. But, I will not know until we are crusing.... sending alot of pressure here. Unfortunately, I am supposed to return to work on the 1St, for three days of meetings and when we return would be my first full week. But with the strike I won't know anything until
I return. Along with the surprise, I am about to pull out my hair. Mind the fact that my oldest just turned ten last week, and had a party with all of this. Can't wait to drink myself silly:crazy: I just told my husband John about Friday night, an he said better buy a box of wine for all your friends.....We're in for trouble................

Joanna, you are flying down to Florida on Friday, too?? What time do you arrive at MCO??

I still can't believe our vacation starts in a few days! :)

[admepo]

Good Morning All!!! :wave:

Well, shopping yesterday turned into a chore...lots of money spent and more is needed to be done tomorrow. Unfortunately after store #2, the cell started ringing to find that our little CRUISE CURSE has finally hit my house....Jacob (DS age 3) had gotten sick all over my sister and my bed and was crying and burning up. So shopping trip cut short and the rest rescheduled for tomorrow evening. The rest of the night was spent on the couch holding Jacob while he slept and carrying him around the house. So now I am chewing down vitamins and drinking OJ like nothing praying I don't catch this little bug of his. The kids finally return to school today after a little over a week off from the hurricane and he will be staying home one more day with me sick. OH WELL!!!!

Love the Friday Night idea. I bet J and T wouldn't mind if we all crashed in their room and joined them on the following week's cruise???? LOL (jk guys!) :jester:

Melanie

[pattiteach]

[gdulaney]

I was at Target last night and saw the Downey wrinkle release, but cheapie that I am...I decided that we'd just be wrinkled. :) $4 will almost buy a frothy drink... it was frothy drink vs. the wrinkles in a 12 second battle....the booze won. :)

Happy Monday everybody!!!

[gdulaney]

Hmm... I dunno, but I'd spray it all over if I thought it'd work. :)

Ginny
not the original Ginny :teeth:

[natdencro]

I hope all you great folk have a MAGICAL week on the ship. Dont forget to say "HI" to my DD in Palo, if you choose to dine there during your holiday. Her best pal(and bf) are cruising with you next week, so Gemma will be even MORE smiley! She also then finishes for her well-earned vacation on 4th Sept, so she will no doubt be in excellent spirits while you are on board!Gosh, cant believe she will be home again soon: been a long 6 months! Take care all, and be safe and happy. Best wishes. Nat:Pinkbounc

[MoranClan]

Hey Nat..

Hopefully we will get your Daughter on Tuesday night..

Our Reservations are for 8:30 Party of 8..

Please inform her we are coming..

Thanks Bobby

LOL That is great Nat! Looking forward to hopefully having Gemma as our server on Sunday night at Palo's for our anniversary dinner!!! :) Heard nothing but wonderful things about her on the boards. Sure you are very proud!!!


Jacob is napping at the moment and Alex (DS age 1) woke up this morning with a cold. Probably from last week with no electric and a/c to now having it again - temperature adjustments always do that to my kids. Shoving vitamins and OJ on them too!!! lol

Looking forward to Saturday....Can't come soon enough!!!! :)

Melanie

[natdencro]

Thanks folks. Unfortunately, I shall not be able to speak to Gem before your cruise, as she only gets to ring every other Saturday. However, just mention you are on the DisBoards, and she will know that you are "Special"!!! She is always happy to see DisBoarders in Palo, and I hope you manage to have her serve you. Have a fantastic trip you all! Nat:Pinkbounc

[SeaSpray]

Wow, only 4 days till we'll be landing in Florida! I had my hair appt this morning, and I have my manicure and pedicure appts on Thursday.

I took the kids out shopping. We ordered prescription sunglasses for DS16, and they said they should be in before Thursday. I hope they are. I bought the cutest pajama set in Walmart; it has Mickey and Minnie on the bottoms, which look like shorts, and the top is red and has a picture of Minnie and she's thinking of Mickey Mouse (he's in one of those "thought" bubbles" and it says "Agree with me now and get it overwith" or something like that. Hehehe. I am imagining DH and I sitting out on the verandah, sipping mimosas, in the morning with me wearing those pjs. LOL

Nat: I am really hoping to see Gemma at least once! We have 3 reservations for Palo, the brunch, dinner, and tea. If she's not our server I will ask our server to point her out so I can say HI to her :)

Bobby & Cindy: We're a party of 4 for dinner at Palo, same time and night as you!

Melanie: I hope your DSs are feeling better soon.

Hi, my name is Dori and I'm new to the board. I am a first-time cruiser going on the Aug 28 trip. (In the world of "Rocky Horror Picture Show" that would make me a virgin. LOL) I will be traveling with the DS (Devin, age 12). We are both looking forward to the trip and making lots of new firends.

I'm a little confused. From the previous posting, I should be on the lookout for a guy in a green lei and a Speedo or is it a green lei and boogying without any britches?!!!

I will be more than happy to give you 4 kamakazis for you "magnetic" efforts.

Bobby:

Love the pictures, seems like a great camera. If I haven't said it before thank you for taking the time to make all those magnets. You are so thoughtful.

Dori:

Welcome to our group of 8/28 cruisers. Be sure to come to the DIS meet in the Prominade Lounge right after the life boat drill, so you can meet everyone.


Everyone:

Repeat after me the curse of the Aug. 28th cruisers is now over. Everyone will be healed and feeling great Tomorrow. Seems like that bug is going around, the good news is that it only lasts for 24 hours! I am sprinkling massive doses of Pixie Dust for everyone.

Lyn

P.S. Only 3 more days of work

[ElliotFan]

Bobby,

Cool pics! My mom gave the DS an underwater camera for his birthday this summer. I hope that his works as well as yours does. I can't wait to try it out. I've already warned him that he has to share (of course, that means I have to share my new digital camera in return...).

I am sooooo ready for this vacation!
A whole week where my hardest decisions will be-
what to wear, what to eat, what to play and who to play with.
It will feel like being a kid again!

:thewave:

Dori

[trinibjill]

Bobby
Love your pictures - the expressions on their faces are priceless.

Dori
Welcome. I adore Rocky Horror Picture show

Lyn
I feel your power. Definetly nooooooooo sickness.

See everyone at the meet

GREAT pics, Bobby!!! What model of Olympus Digital do you have? Last summer we bought the Olympus C-740, and we LOVE it.

Dori: Welcome to our group.... I love "Rocky Horror", too. I bought it on DVD just so I could play The Time Warp and Sweet Transvestite whenever I want to. LOL

Thats My old One...The D-360L I figured If by Some reason the Underwater Housing Leaks..Would not miss it as much..

I also Have the D-720

I love it..Takes great pictures, Super Zoom..

I just hope it dosent get too fogged up from the AC to the Islands...I may leave it outside on the Verandah to stay Warm in Its case..

Then My Luck...The wind or a wave will take it away..hehe...

And Remember Im on Deck 8 so it would be a very big wave..hahahah

Shall we get a line of us doing the Time Warp on deck as we leave port?

The kids will probably think we're nuts! But that's okay by me. As they say... I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every single minute of it! And as my son says... In our family, it's survival of the weirdest!

; )

[Reenieny18]

So glad you found our little family. this is a very active sight. You go to sleep,, you have 10 hrs of reading to do. You sound like you will fit right in. Eat, sleep drink... (if your a drinker we are having drinking parties on every deck,,lol). I have a son, Daniel(11). as well..:earsboy:
Bobby and Cindy: Great pics. kids are real cute.. I love not opening the eyes and holding breathe...
Ok I am going to NYC on Oct 9-12.. party sound good,,lol
I got a CANNON s410 for my bday from my whole family.. takes great pics too,not underwater,, but movie mode as well.
Well the curse hit my sister KAREN she was in the ER today with VERTIGO.... got some meds and is feeling better..:crazy: She will crawl to DISNEY if she has too...::MinnieMo Melanie; I am sure your kids will be fine,, they are in good hands...My DH and I celebrate our ANNIVERSARY tomorrow 2 yrs... WAHOO.. maybe we can do a precelebration to the REAS night ...
Doreen

[sandygirl]

MELANIE Hope your little guy feels a whole lot better and no one else gets "the bug".

Bobby Cool camera! I'm a shutter bug but a novice when it comes to digital. I actually thought about checking out the duty free cameras onboard. Can't wait to see the magnets! We owe you for all the "magic" you have added to anticipating this trip.

Dori Glad to see you found us before the ship sailed. Please try to make the DIS meet in the Promenade Lounge after the lifeboat drill. I don't think you could miss us!

DOREEN Tell your sister we are thinking of her. Get better!

To all of you campaigning for a Friday night "Drink the Leftovers" Party, my vote is with you. I really don't know much about mixed or foo-foo drinks. If I bring some mixers can someone help me out? I get confused at Starbucks! And that is just coffee! LOL

Darlene

[MoranClan]

Doreen you forgot to do your chant!!

Dori- I will definietly do the time warp again. Went to college in NYC and hit the 8th st theatre loyally for months. Even brought my own toilet paper!

Now I've got kids of my own and will not even let them watch the video!

Can't wait to go. Can't wait to go. Can't wait to go.!

Cindy::MinnieMo

If Jessie ever sees those pics of her she will freak. At least she has a whole tooth!

[Reenieny18]

ok I have to admit it... I never saw the movie in its entirety....hey what do you want ,, I just turned 40!!!! Have to do some major celebrating on board.:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc
1 day and hours to go..... :thewave: :thewave:

Doreen

[O'BWV]

Hi Dis-zy friends!

Welcome Dori & Devin! I have a son John age 11. Quite a few boys in the age group on the DIS it seems.

Melanie - I hope you DS is better really soon and that no one else gets it! Me & DH are really suseptible to the stomach virus. Once one kids starts hurling, me & DH are never far behind.

Doreen - Sorry about you Sis! I've been taking Meclazine all week for dizziness (although who ever said I wasn't dizzy in the first place) But seriously it's a horrible feeling and I hope shes better ASAP! Tell her we have some serious, and I do mean serious drinking to do on the 8/28 BOOZE CRUISE!

Darlene - I don't know much about drinks either but I'm willing to help if you're willing to have me. Have smoothie maker, will travel LOL!

Cindy & Bobby - Great pics! Adorable too! Bobby (every single, solitary time I type your name I type ****y, now what in the heck do you think that means LOL!) Okay I see stars so can you guess that I type two o's instead of two b's. I guess that's a word on the banned list. Thanks very, very much for all the hard work you did on the magnets - you're the best. Name your poison!

All I have left to do know is go to the bank, mani & pedi & cleaning the house (ugh)

DISers STAY WELL........Let's all join mice and make a circle and erase the curse again!!! LOL! I'm getting a little giddy here tonight! I'm so excited!

-Mary Rose

[Mjasp]

Oh Boy I go to work and get home and there are 3 pages to catch up on.

Dori and son...Welcome Aboard. Where are you staying pre night? We will be having a DIS meet at the Radisson by the pool.

Terry...We land at 1:50 P.M. How about you?

Melanie...Enough already, no more sickness. Glad your son is feeling better.

Doreen...Don't feel bad, I am in my mid forties and have never seen Rocky Horror.

Bobby...Awesome pictures. I have my magnets and when Mitch took down the 2 boxes of leis, he left the magnets up top, Good thing I noticed. I screamed, my MAGNETS, don't let me forget them.

Went to Kohl's tonight and had to buy more luggage. Yep we thought 2 large, one pilot and 1 suitor and 1 shoes and 1 toiletries and meds was enough. NOT.

OH Did I forget to tell you 3 more days of work!!!!!!!!!

:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

One bouncy for each work day.

Talk to you all later.

Joanna

[O'BWV]

Joanna - Thanks for the luggage update. Makes me feel better! I look like I'm moving on to the Magic permanently LOL! Do you have any idea how many people will be at the DIS meet? How many Leis do you figure on? I was going to try on pop over the Party City and see if they had any doo-dads but I wouldn't have any idea how many to get. Thanks.


-Mary Rose

[SeaSpray]

Joanna: We due to land at MCO at 2:17pm on Friday. We'll be right behind you! :) Can't wait to meet you at the Radisson.

Mary Rose: I bought a little something to hand out at the Radisson DIS meet (If there are any left, I'll bring the extras onto the ship and hand the rest of them out)...I hope you don't end up buying the same thing! LOL I don't want to give it away, but what I bought came in a long tube, with "25 items" inside. So....if you see something that could possibly fit this description, don't buy them! LOL (If you want to know, PM me, and I'll tell you.) It's really just a little something, nothing major, but will be fun for our poolside evening get together! ::yes::

P.S. Does anyone know how many of us will be meeting at the Radisson on Friday??

P.P.S. Regarding luggage, I *still* haven't started packing yet. At least the suitcases are out of the attic, so I plan on starting tomorrow. I just hope I don't suddenly realize that I've forgotten to do or buy something important. LOL (Anyone else besides me going to breath a huge sigh of relief once we're actually ON the ship??? LOL)

[O'BWV]

Terry - Thanks for the heads up. I'll stay away from anything that looks like that. Honestly, I don't have any ideas but when I look around the party store I'll steer clear. Note to self: No long tubes with 25 items in it LOL! BTW, it's very kind of you and Joanna and Bobby to bring things for the meet. I wish I would have thought of it sooner, I probably could have gotten something cute at Oriental Trading. Oh well, now I'm out of time & ideas.



-Mary Rose

[Reenieny18]

Bobby the magnets are so great. My daughter wanted to know where Tink or hook were.. and then I scrolled down, and a big smile came on her face...
TERRY BIG DEEP BREATH HERE... I can't wait:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc
Joanna thanks for the encouragement,,, I saw a retake on it at Busch Gardens HALLOWSCREAM,, but never saw the movie.. Don't you just love KOHL's?? lol well any shopping for that matter. I guess we wouldn't need all that luggage if it were just the cruise.. but we have WDW first.. When I wake up in the AM.. I will have no more days to wait...:teeth:
Thank you everyone for my sisters well wishes.. She lives in Virginia.. and no other family there.. I told her to take her meds and get better isn't it a terrible feeling. I do hope she is better before we fly...
never thought I would see that number 1 come,, yillpiiieeeee

Doreen

[missinshadow]

I have whats called vestibular disorder. it's a type of vertigo. I feel very bad for your sister. I know what it's like. Yuck!!!

Carolyn

[missinshadow]

I'm soooo jealous of those who are off work or almost off work. Living in Florida I work until day before. No travel time. That's the only downfall.

See you guys soon!!!

Bobby: thanks for the magnets. we are with elke1


Carolyn:bounce: :Pinkbounc

[admepo]

Good Morning everyone!!!!:wave2:

I can't believe we only have days left!!!! Carolyn... we have the same deal here...Work until Friday and leave Sat. morning.

Bobby and Cindy...Your kids are too cute! Love the pics!

Rocky Horror - I LOVE THIS MOVIE. Went and participated while I was in college and I am in my late 20s!!!! :)

Doreen....HAVE A GREAT TRIP!!!! See you on the ship! :) And Happy Anniversary too!!! :sunny: Sorry to hear about your sister, hope she feels better!

Jacob is feeling better so it is off to school for him today! Alex still has a cold and Adam and I are stll trying to fight anything off. I don't care if I carry on seasickness bags and tissues galore - I AM GOING!!! ;)

Ok since we are back to the luggage talk - there is only 2 of us going and I am looking at 2 large suitcases, and 2 small suitcase to check in, plus one small carryon, garment bag (carry on), and laptop bag (carryon). Is this entirely too much????? I always over pack and really tried not to but each of the large suitcase hold our clothes, then each of the small hold shoes, snorkel gear, toiletries, etc.... Any twosomes out there pack this much????

Melanie

[Reenieny18]

Thank you Melanie.. My hubbie actually remembered,,lol.. OK we are done to hrs now. Got the animals all set, dentist is done, I did my own nails.
Bags are locked and ready to go..
Beautiful day here in Syracuse,, gong to 90s this week,, :sunny: First time all summer. Thanks for all the well sishes for my sister,, she is feeling better today....:teeth:

It must be great to live in fla. When I retire I'm moving there & going to work for Uncle Mickey (Mouse)

Melanie
When my daughter was growing up she went just about every week to the Rocky Horror Show. They used to dress up & participate. I love it too - even have the DVD.
Hope your family is better.
I don't leave until Sat either but I took the next few days off to pack.

Anybody else who's still around have a safe trip & see you there.

Jill:sunny: :wave:

[ElliotFan]

You're not the only one working until Friday, I am too. I need to save the remainder of my leave in order to take the two weeks that the kid will be out of school over Christmas.

Devin and I will be catching a 1 AM red-eye out of Seattle.

So no, I will not be at the night before gig. And yes, I may need assistance in staying awake until bedtime on Saturday. Not much drinking for me that night... two shots of tequilla would probably put me in dreamland. You guys will have to wait until the next night to see how hardy I can party. ; )

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[trinibjill]

What is your name? I guess Devin is you DH?

If you are leaving that early in the morning what time do you get to Orlando.

We are leaving 10 am from Phila. ( MY daughter Laurie & granddaughter Alyssa) I tried to get a earlier flight but they told me I'd have to go standby.

Jill:sunny: :wave:

[ElliotFan]

My name is Dori and Devin is my DS (age 12). We have a 1 hour lay-over in Minneapolis and we get to Orlando at 11:20 AM.

How long is the flight from Phila? Maybe we'll meet up at the airport to dock transport.

[pattiteach]

JILL, I am leaving from Philly too. I have a 7:00am flight.Where are you in Philly? I am in the Fox Chase section.

[Mjasp]

Doreen...Glad your sister is feeling better, boy she did get the curse, vertigo before a cruise, I feel nausea already.

Trinibjill...You can only have 2 timers at a time, they are going to wipe all of them out on you, so I would remove one of them before they are all gone.

Joanna
