11/13/04 Eastern Cruise only We Did It

[adisneymama]

Roca - From what I read on the main page, you just call the main dcl # and choose reservations and ask. HTH
We also are scheduled for late seating, maybe we'll get to sit together. If not, I wonder if we could call and ask them to sit you with us?

Ok, got to run for now! Have a great evening.

Thanks! This is a photo that is similar to a photo that may appear in the LIFE magazine (which now appears in the newspaper on Fridays.) We were just leaving The American Girl Place, and there was a photographer taking pictures for an article that should be coming out soon. She loved the girls and wanted to take their picture!

We are hoping it ends up in the magazine!:)

I've read you can call 888-325-2500 about a week before the cruise, choose the 'reservations' option, then ask the rep what movies will be showing.

Can't wait to call and find out! :)

[Sue Sullivan]

Well the UPS man fooled me again. This time it was the cooler from Overstocks (really great cooler by the way). NEXT time it will the docs, I'm sure. Also I just watched the trailer for Neverland. Looks great and I just love Johnny Depp.

:( Sorry Sue.....Hopefully tomarrow will be the day!!:sunny:

[rocadonismom]

Thanks for the infomation about calling to find out the list of movies. There are a bunch that I'd really like to see. It's much easier to get excited about seeing a movie when it doesn't cost 8.50. :rolleyes:

cynsaun - I don't think I've ever seen the LIFE magazine in the newspaper. Hmmm, guess I'll have to go look this Friday and see what I can find. Very exciting.

Still no documents here either. My parents have received theirs and I keep waiting. I've never checked my mail so many times in a week before. The postmaster must be so excited, because I usually only show up once every other week or so.

adisneymama- I don't want to infringe on anyone's group (for dinner seatings), I was just being curious. So far I've been very lucky with my tablemates. Last year we were four seated by ourselves and we ended up talking to the people at the tables around us.

Okay, off to work again.

[adisneymama]

Roca - You wouldn't be bothering us at all. Your more than welcome to join us, but totally your choice. I don't have my docs either! WAH! Hope we both get them soon!

Hi everybody!

[TinkHappy]

:jumping1: :cheer2: :cheer2: :rockband: :cool1: :cool1:

OK...I received my computer AND my documents!!! Both in the same day!!! I am soooooooooo happy!!!

[Hannosmom]

Whoo Hooo, Tracy!!!:Pinkbounc We have missed you in chat! Welcome back!:D

[GrayFal]

Okay,,,,I am getting a little sad :(


Did any of Jeanna's Crew get their docs,,,,sniff, sniff, sniff???
Maybe she fooled us and we are not really going......pout, pout :eek: :eek:???

Here's a big ole virtual hug! {{{{{{PAT}}}}}}:hug: :hug: :hug:

[TinaRN]

As Jeanna said, the UPS man did not bring our docs....but he did bring the rolling cooler from ebags which is very nice!

I ordered my children's baskets today from Shirley! Now I just have to find a few more things to send to her to put in the baskets.

Does anyone know if Disney Store.com is now REALLY DisneyDirect.com? I received an e-mail today about this and an offer to become some type of "special" member....seemed fishy to me!:fish: :fish: Just want to be safe!!

Sorry I missed chat Tuesday. LOTS to do before the cruise!!! AndI have to work all weekend so I might not be around much.:(

[GrayFal]

Hi Tina,,,,,
Just curious.....what kind of basket did u get for your kids???? a special one or one from the website???

I was hoping for MORE ::yes::

[adisneymama]

Tina - I just got my disneystore catalog in the mail and it did mention the new website, but did not mention anything about disney direct. HTH some.
I also would like to know about the baskets, debating on which to get for Aubrey.

Have a good one everybody!

Pat, Kim called John today and she has our docs. YIPPEE!!!:Pinkbounc

She is going to try and get ours to us on Monday. If she can't get them here on Mon. they will be here on Thursday. She is only going to ship them on a day that I will be home to receive them.

A few more days Jeanna's group and we can join the doc dance.

Hmmmm...ya know, I was a bit skeptical when I received the same email. I didn't click on the email as that will confirm your receipt. However, just opening some HTMLs will do the same.

I typed in DisneyDirect.com in my browser and got an error....hmmm, very skeptical now. HOWEVER, if you go to Disney.com it has DisneyDirect right on their homepage. Phew! But, I still get an error when I click on it. Bummer for Disney.

I'm guessing this move is part of their plan to sell DisneyStore to Children's Place or somewhere else.

I STILL have to call about these...I'm so confused. Have to wait a few more hours so I don't wake Shirley. :)

[PoohJen]

Rise and shine, Everyone!!!

Went to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party last night (sans kiddies!) with DM and DSister - we had a BLAST!!! I will definitely come back next year, and bring my kids this time! What a fun crowd - everyone in costume, just having a grand time. And I came home with a bag of goodies (you get to go trick-or-treating throughout MK). It was all so festive! Wish I could figure out how to post pics here!

Woke up at 6 (after going to bed at 2!), I am wired and ready to hit the parks!!!! Now you know if this was a work day, I'd be groaning and asking for just five more minutes....

After this trip, I don't know how I'll contain my excitement for the cruise! The wait just might become unbearable!

TTFN!

[TinaRN]

Pat, I called Shirley and told her I wanted to order baskets for my children. She asked me their names and ages. She then told me what all kind of things she has for kids. I picked out a few things and then asked her what my total was for each basket. She then told me and I was quite surprised. I wanted to spend about $30 on each basket. I was able to get quite a few things for the $30. She then asked if I wanted the baskets to be from us(parents) or someone else like the princessesprincess: princess: princess:, Mickey ::MickeyMo , etc. She then told me she would ship them together to decrease the cost of delivery. I am still going to send a couple more things to put in their baskets. BTW, she said the website is way out dated! She had several things not on the website. There were also many things on the website that she doesn't have right now i.e. small plush toy Minnie Mouse::MinnieMo . Good luck ordering your own baskets!! :earsboy: ::MickeyMo

Hey Jen, you're so lucky!!! Have some fun for all of us!!::yes::

Ok, I feel silly but I must be looking at the wrong web site...can someone post it? The one I'm on doesn't have a single Disney item, which could explain all of my confusion!!
Thanks!
:crazy:

[lovinlife]

I think this is what you are looking for. I may order baskets for my 2 girls also.

I'm so jealous!!! Sounds like you are having a great time. Sarah must have read your post before I did.....I was wondering why she suddenly decided we have to do MNSSHP next year. :p I really need to keep her away from these boards!

Oh, my gosh...this makes MUCH more sense! Thank you!! Funny thing, I called Shirley's number to talk with her and get the right address...she wasn't there...neither of her 2 colleagues knew the web address. I'll call back though and talk to Shirley to get the baskets goin'.

THANKS!!

[disbigkid]

...ok, first, I must be losing my mind as I posted twice to the main boards by accident when all I wanted to do was add a post to our thread. ARGH! :crazy:

On to more important things. I'm doin' the doc dance all the way across the 'pond'! My mom just called and told me my docs were in her hands...but, alas, she did not have hers. haha (She booked via a travel agent, I booked via DVC).

:jumping3: :jumping1: :cool1: :flower1: :cheer2: :thewave:

[adisneymama]

I'm doing the doc dance!!! YIPPEE!!!!:Pinkbounc :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :hyper:
It feels so real now!

Hope you are all having a good day! Got to go read over these docs now!

[Hannosmom]

:bounce: :Pinkbounc WHOO HOOO!!!!! :Pinkbounc :bounce:

Looks like we're doin' the "doc-dance" all over the world!:p

[feenie]

My friend who is going w/ us got her Docs last night!
She booked in January directly with Dreams Unlimited.

I have three weeks of work left!! (plus one day) I don't know if I am going to make it!!!!;)

[mrsmg]

Well it took me about an hour but I read all 6 pages I got behind on.:wave:
I think I'm about the only one who has not recieved the docs! Congrats to those who have, though !
I forgot who mentioned that they booked the REAS add-on but it sounded like such a great idea so I'm going to go ahead and book it!:Pinkbounc It's nice to know my Palo and spa ressies will be taken care of! My DH and I were going to do the couples massage anyway:bounce:wave2:

I think everybody except Jeanna's group have gotten their documents::yes:: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

But Kim has promised to have them here next Thursday, so they are less than 1 week away.:hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

Athene, I have 9 12 hours shifts to work before my vacation starts

:teeth: :teeth: :teeth: :teeth: :teeth: :teeth: :teeth: :teeth:

[adisneymama]

Good Morning!

Mrs- Sorry you don't have your docs yet. I thought I would be the last one. I was so suprised yesterday when AAA called. HOpe you get them soon!
Hope you enjoy the REAS package!

HI everyone! Only 4 more weeks! YIppee! Have a great weekend!

[TinkHappy]

John/Susan ~ Can you PLEASSSSSSSE help me???? I am looking for the Disney font. When I lost my computer, I lost EVERYTHING!!! Thanks!

[house_of_princesses]

I have not received my docs yet, but my ta called last week sometime and said he was sending them. So, they're on their way.

I should be packing.....but I'm so tired all I can do is read this screen or sit in front of the tv. Energy, please!!:sunny:

My gf's son played flag football this morning. It was 40 degrees!! :sad: :jumping3: Staying warm zapped all my strength. Now we're dressing for an outdoor festival down the street from here. Shiver me timbers, it's cold out there!!

Hope it's warmer for the Posquoson Seafood Festival!! :teeth:

[lovinlife]

Hi everyone,
I just got my whale bag! It's big but I don't think it's too big. It will be perfect for toting 4 sets of snorkels & masks, beach towels, etc. onto all three islands. Plus it will come in very handy in the summer. Just wanted to say 'Thankyou' to whoever posted the link to it.

-Liz

[KYCruiseCrazy]

hello all. i need the stateroom #'s from all who have had me make them a door sign. email me with the room #'s thanks everyone. thanks

[lovinlife]

If anyone is interested....I just ordered cute character disney shirts with my girls' names on them, the link is
www.disneyinkshop.com
You get to pick the character (huge selection), the shirt & its' color, the name & its' color. I will let the kids think Cinderella and Mickey left them a gift one night.

[rocadonismom]

lovinlife- You've created a monster. I've been playing around on that tee-shirt site for twenty minutes now. I absolutly LOVE it. Thank you so much! Did they happen to say how long it would take to ship? I haven't gotten that far yet. :)

[lovinlife]

They are cute aren't they? They ship in 2-3 business days.
Have Fun with it!

[hyandui]

John, Our room number is #7001, and rocadonismom is room #1041 please advise us your room number so I can have your Mountain Dew delivered. also I don't know if anyone would be interested in glow sticks, last year I gave out a couple hundred, during the last night show the whole theather was lit up from all the glow sticks. Thank you again for your kindnessin making signs for everyone.:wave2:

[rocadonismom]

Hey, wait a second... I still don't have any documents but, my parents called to check on things and found out that I'm in room 1041. So, being curious I went and checked the ship layout and discovered that room 1041 is a category 10. That means I got an UPGRADE!!!!! YEAH!!!:bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: I think I'm the only group member on deck 1 but it sure is close to the tender doors, which I think is a good thing.

[KyCruisinSusan]

Carolyn, it would definetly be a good thing if you had to tender from the Disney ships.

Unfortunately for you, this Eastern cruise we don't have to tender any of our ports. LOL

Fortunately for you, we do disembark from deck 1, so you could be the first one off the ship in our ports of call.

Liz, thanks for posting that tshirt link. I just designed and purchased all 4 of us tshirts to wear to Magic Kingdom. They are all the same color with each of our favorite characters, names, and a cute phrase on the front, all in the same color letters. And on the back is a big 2004. Great website.

[cjsmom97]

Guys you need to slow down!! I don't check the thread for a couple of days and there are pages and pages that have gone by again! ;)

hyandui - the glow sticks are a great idea! Sign us up!

I have to go now and play with this site everyone is raving about. I guess I have an hour to lose to more cruise business!! :hyper:

Hi everybody!

Roca - Congrats on the upgrade!

Ok, we are about to restore our computer, so If I disappear for a while, just know the computer crashed. I'll check back when I can!

Fingers and Toes crossed for you and mom....the suspense is KILLING me!
Let us know ASAP when you hear!!!:chat:

[feenie]

I am so glad our docs came early. I am a little obsessive, and would be FREAKING out.... Did they get lost in the mail?? am I booked properly??? Am I going to show up at the port and get a blank look... and so on and so on!

I hope that everyone waiting gets theirs tomorrow!!

cruises require A LOT of luggage!! I know everyone says be careful not to over pack, but honestly, with all the formal wear and dinner outfits and shoes... Good grief. (good thing there are porters at the hotels and the ship! ;) )

[house_of_princesses]

With 5 female travellers, I have alot of packing goin' on over here!! :crazy: My mom suggested I use the space saver bags, the ones you pack up then suck the air out of them. I guess all the snow birds in her group have been using them with great success. Wonder how that will work with all these zip locks I have!! :earseek:

[Sue Sullivan]

Hey Everyone,

Just got back last night from a 4 day camping trip to St. Joe State Park in N. FL. Beautiful place. Sitting in the sun on the beach was a nice preview for next month!! But still no docs!! I think I'll call my TA today to see if she has sent them yet.

[KyCruisinSusan]

Vicki, the ziplock bags will work the same way as the space saver bags. Just roll them up after you fill them to get all the air out of them.

That's what John and I did for the kids clothes for the theme parks.

I bought spacesaver bags but the ziplocks work just as well.

[mrsmg]

I really like the idea of the space saver or ziplock bags! Where can I purchase either of them?:earsgirl: :earsboy:

[adisneymama]

mrs - I think the ziplocks are just the regular ziplocks, you can get at walmart. You can also buy the space saver bags at walmart. They are in the section with the laundry baskets and such. HTH

Good Morning everyone! We are getting so close!

[TinkHappy]

Good Morning all!!!:sunny: I just wanted to stop in, catch up and say hi...because I can!!! My computer is back. I am so excited. I know I said this before but man, I really felt lost without my computer...

OK, back to work!!:wave:

[Sue Sullivan]

I just got an e-mail from my TA. She said she has not received my documents yet, but will send them to me when she receives them. Is this right? I thought all the docs went out at the same time.

[feenie]

I am home today. DH got sick at work... (REAL sick) and I had to bring him home. No point in going back.... (plus he needs someone to keep him tucked in...:rolleyes:
Poor baby! I told him it was better now than on the cruise.;)

[disneydreamer1970]

Hi Ya'll!!

My TA has our docs!!! Guess I'm gonna go pick them up this afternoon!!! Woo-Hoo!!!!

Fennie - I hope that your DH is feeling better soon!!!

3 weeks from tomorrow, we will be at Epcot!!! I can't believe it is getting this close!!

Have a great afternoon everyone!!!

[house_of_princesses]

Suse, I know the ziplocks work like the ziplocks. That was the idea behind the :crazy: and :earseek: faces after the post!! I was mocking the double duty...

Mrs...the ziplocks are the regular freezer storage bags. I buy the store brand for this application. Not like my clothes are going to get freezer burn! The space saver bags are heavy duty plastic bags with valves. They come in different sizes and can hold something as large as a comforter. Once you place the contents inside, you suck the air out, everything inside crunches down (yet I don't remember seeing any wrinkles when I opened the bag later), and it's very easy to store or carry along. Walgreen's used to carry them, I know you can get them on line (what CAn't you get on line?!), and as someone else posted, WalMart, probably Target or KMart as well. Holler if you need more info!
:wave2:

[house_of_princesses]

Athene, Hope DH is better soon. It's scary when a loved one gets really ill really quickly. :sunny:

TinkHappy, glad you're back on board!! :wave:

[TaraBelle1069]

I called DCL today about our docs and the Cast Member sounded almost indignent when he said "it's very early yet". He said you normally get them two weeks before. I wanted to say "but all these people on the boards have theirs!!" I told him I was concerned because things take a long time to get to Canada. He said "we use UPS" and I asked "even to Canada?" and he said (with a tone I can't describe) "even to Canada". I don't envy this guy. I wonder if this is the line they give people as punishment or when they are new! He probably hears the same thing call after call, all day long.

So much for waiting patiently. I couldn't resist....it's a 1-800 number and I've checked my reservation online far too many times!

Also gained two pounds last week. Between Thanksgiving and an Italian wedding, I was doomed! Here's hoping I get back on track this week. (I haven't attempted to fit into my cruise wear for a few weeks) Hope everyone else is doing well.

Tara

[mrsmg]

Adisneymama and House_of_Princesses- Thanks for the info on the spacesaver bags:tongue: I have so many to pack for that any help to save space is appreciated.
I can't believe how close we're getting! I've packed almost everything, except for the last minute items and between all of the dress-up clothes as well as casual for all eight of us there's a ton of luggage.
Athene- hope you dh feels better:bounce:

3 weeks from today we will be colapsing in our resort room after having driven to florida and spending the day at typhoon lagoon.

[rocadonismom]

TinkHappy - Welcome Back!

Athene - Hope your DH is feeling better really soon.

I can't believe how many of you have started packing. I have lists but, that's about as far as I've gotten. Love the ziplocs though, I try to pack everything into them. My bag seems to get searched every time I fly (something to do with being large enough to hold a dead body I guess) and I like packing everything in those so that people I don't know aren't touching my unmentionables. :rolleyes: :teeth:

Jen - YEAH!!! to the Bills on their win (see, I got things straight this week LOL).

TaraBelle - Hope you hear something about your documents soon. I'm still waiting too but, at least I have a little more infomation. Maybe they're trying to wait for the last possible minute so they can give you an upgrade.

Any more thoughts on a DisMeet somewhere at WDW on Friday night?

That's so funny. I got picked out after my Mexican cruise because they saw my platter (ceramic? terra cotta?) in the x-ray. I guess people use pottery to smuggle drugs. This huge guy gave me quite the look when he had to struggle too lift my technically overweight luggage onto the inspection table. Lesson I learned that trip, leave home with expandable luggage already expanded!

I don't know if I'm actually worried about my docs or just anxious, as in excited, about them. It seems weird that when we booked it was months and now it's weeks. I felt more ready to go back then than I do now!

LIFE has just started publication again. It is making it appearance in major newspapers on Fridays. We are very excited. Our only fear is that the issue with them will come out when we are on the cruise!:rolleyes:

Ok, I am not sure if I posted our cabin or not. We are in 6606. Anyone near us?:tongue:

[TinaRN]

Question about the Space Saver bags! I wanted to pack our own pillows in them so we could bring them but not take up a lot of space. (I know, they have plenty of pillows, but I NEED my pillow! :crazy: :crazy:) But what do you do when you get ready to pack them back up to come home? Where do you get a vacuum cleaner? Do the hair "dryers" in the rooms have a reverse function? I know you can get the space saver bags you can roll up to get the air out, but I think rolling our pillows up would be VERY DIFFICULT!!!

Athene, pixie dust for your hubby :wizard: ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ :wizard: Hope he feels better soon!!

My friend just visited me in Ireland and used the roll-up spacesavers from WalMart. I was amazed at what she fit in the case. She rolled up her son's blanket (a big down quilt type one from his crib) and when she opened the bag it fluffed right up. I'm sure you could do the same with a pillow.

The roll up bags have one-way valves so that when you force out the air it cannot get back in....she was having no problem doing it for her return trip home.

I'm going to try the ziplock thing today!! I'm looking at our 8 suitcases we can fly home with from Ireland and it's looking like it won't fit! eek: :eek: I'm trying to pack for the cruise and pack for upstate NY...the rest of our stuff will be air shipped and stay in storage til we move into the new house.

Oh my gosh, how will I get all of this done in 8 days?!?!!

[adisneymama]

Good Morning everyone!

Feenie - Hope your DH gets to feeling better soon!

Tina - I have not tried the travel space savers yet, so I can't answer your ?. I have some because they came in the pack with the others I bought for storing all of Aubrey's outgrown clothes. I will probably try them for her things for the cruise though. Let me know how it works.

Have a great day everyone!

I'm just taking a stab in the dark here ;) , and guess that Jeanna is doing a doc dance.:p Congratulations!!

The Poquoson Seafood Festival was a big success, except for eating way too much. (I don't want to see another funnel cake for a very long time, blech)

Now, I can really concentrate on the cruise!!

Athene, hope your dh is feeling better now. :D

[feenie]

DH is feeling MUCH better today! He was able to get lots of rest yesterday. (he is a very bad sick person).

[adisneymama]

Congrats Jenna!

Feenie - Glad your DH is feeling better!

Hi everyone! I have really got way too much to do before this cruise! UGH!

Hope you all have a good night!

Congratulations Jeanna! I'm still waiting for our docs!:Pinkbounc :bounce: I called DVC member services yesterday and I was told they've been processed but haven't been sent out yet. I should get them at the end of the week or beginning of next!:earseek: :wave2: I was worried they'd need a signature but apparently they just drop them at your door, lucky for me 'cause I'm not home during the day:wave:

[cjsmom97]

I didn't want to rub it in so I just celebrated quietly (kim said so!!)! So, now that everyone in our group knows they will be getting theirs Thursday, I can really celebrate now!!!

Pooh Jen, stop hiding! You must be back by now. How was the trip? Miss you!

Hyundui, my dh is setting up a place on his site to upload photos. I'll let you know when he has finished.

"It never rains in Southern California.....It Pours...Man, It Pours!!"
:umbrella: :boat: :umbrella: Can't believe our weather...as our local weatherman says.."we are having January weather in October" We have flooding, mudslides from the summer fires, and "Storm Watch '04".....started Saturday night and looks to continue a couple of days more and then another front moving in. Too many people don't know how to drive out here when we get rain, so a lot of accidents....We do really need our rain, but not the annual rainfall in one week :earseek:

Congrats to everyone getting their docs......:cheer2: :cheer2: :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :cheer2: :cheer2:

[PoohJen]

Hi Y'all!
Yes, Linda, I'm back (shucks you're sweet!:angel: ] but I am SWAMPED at work! :headache: :sad2: :badpc: I sent you a pic from MNSSHP!

Oh, besides MNSSHP, it was also the Epcot Wine and Food Festival. I was very good, and didn't eat a single Mickey bar :mickeybar on my trip (okay, so I was too cheap to pay for one when it'll be "all I can eat" in just 23 days!!!!) But I certainly didn't starve!!! And a lady won a cruise at Who Wants to be a Millionaire while I was there - how cool is that?! We were very excited for her. and I wasn't the least bit jealous :rolleyes1

Congrats to the doc dancers!!! I'll be joining you tomorrow!!! I hope your DH is feeling better Athene! Corie, hope you all are safe! Better get that ark ready, just in case!

[adisneymama]

Hi everybody!

I'm getting so excited. All Aubrey wants to watch is the cruise video! She points to the tv and says "Disney Boat"!

Congrats to everyone that got their docs! Hopefully everyone will have them soon.

So who is going to Topsiders and who is going to Parrot Cay on the first day?

See ya'll later!

[rocadonismom]

YEAH!! More people have their documents. Pretty soon we'll all have them and then the craziness can really start.

Athene, Glad your DH is feeling better. Is there such a thing as a good sick man?

Oaky, heading out... We're going to see Josh Gracin tonight (from American Idol last year - he's in the country scene now). I'll check in in the morning.

[coriedorie]

Thanks, PoohJen...Yep, we are all safe here. Just very soggy and I think I am growing moss on my North side....:earseek: Still raining and here in the desert we have a lot of runoff, so there are the flooded streets to contend with. Supposed to have snow in the mountains tonight though, so a lot of people will be happy to start their ski season early...if it can stay for awhile. Certainly making me look forward even more to the upcoming cruise...:sunny:

Anyone have extra pixie dust to speed up the time to cruise day, I need a vacation fast!:bounce: :Pinkbounc , DW celebrated 30 days last night since her (new) car was repaired after being rear ended by a another vehicle, :sunny: :sunny: , last night she hit a deer, :( , took out the left front fender, hood, headlight, bumper, etc. :rolleyes: by the way it was brand new just 6 weeks ago.:charac2:

If ya'll are worried about those extra pounds you might (:D ) gain on this cruise, this one is for you.

Recently seen on a bumper sticker in New Jersey:

FAT PEOPLE ARE HARDER TO KIDNAP

:p This one is definitely going to be my cruise motto!:teeth: :jester:

[feenie]

Yeah for everyone who is getting their docs!!!!!!!!!!

DH and I are thinking of booking back to back cruises for our 10th anniversary in 2006 while on board... (gotta love the stateroom credit!) We would do the 11/25/06 and the 12/2/06.

:crazy:

I can't wait until the week after next! We will be able to say that we leave on our trip NEXT week then!!


:tongue:

[cynsaun]

Ok, so I was looking at Yahoo's travel center, and it appears that the cruise is almost sold out.

Is this cruise going to be wicked busy? I would have thought that at this time of year, it wouldn't have been quite as full!:confused: :confused:

[adisneymama]

I think it is going to be sold out or very close to it. I looked on the DCL site the other day and all that was left was a few cat 4's. I didn't think this time of year would be that busy either, but I guess a lot of people are taking advantage of the rates.

[house_of_princesses]

Just to let you know, I got my docs a few days earlier. My dd's did a Doc Dance, but I think they were actually mocking us!! :rolleyes:

My ISP is down, so I'll be off line for another day or so.

Hope all is good with all of you!!! :sunny:

[mrsmg]

Athene- What a wonderful idea to book a cruise back to back! That way you get 14 days of 'magic' even when there isn't a 14 day cruise scheduled! Do you have to get off the ship after the end of the first one to re check-in? Or can you keep the same room and stay there? hmmm, never thought of that idea:sunny: :wave2:
Congrats to Susan and John for doing the "doc dance"!:teeth:

[TinaRN]

:cheer2:

[lovinlife]

The back to back cruise sounds like a great time. I think I read a post from someone who has done that and he said they stayed on the ship and in same room. He was asked just to stay "out of the way" while the ship was being prepped for next cruise. He said it was a great time to to laundry! Also I think DCL sends concierge gifts for staying on for 14 days!
Have Fun!

[rocadonismom]

I agree, a 14 day cruise sounds wonderful. Go for it!!!

Hannosmom - I LOVE that bumper sticker. So funny what people come up with. I think my favorite (because it was so "geared" to me) was "If you must drink and drive - drink Pepsi"

cynsaun - I never knew how to check the availability of rooms before so, I'm not sure how close to sold out the other cruises were. That being said, there are only so many people who can fit on the ship (nowhere near as many as in the parks) so hopefully it won't be too bad.

Reality check - Has everyone finished their cruise shopping???

[feenie]

I'm not to worried about the ship being full! We know almost everyone that is going to be on the ship from these boards;)
Our last cruise was almost capacity, and we never had any trouble!

I just tried on my cruise wear. Most of it fits...some is a bit snug. I'm going to pack this weekend and make a list of anything I'm missing. I think I need to find some t-shirts....a little late in this part of the world. I might have to wait and buy some in Florida.

[KyCruisinSusan]

Carolyn--all our cruise shopping is done and packing is 95% complete.

Liz--got our new shirts in the mail yesterday and they are awesome, thanks again for the great link.

Ralph--your wife's bad luck must be rubbing off. Rachel and I were in an accident today and my 3yr old car is totalled. We are ok, just banged and bruised up. I'll whine about the pain tomorrow when it has a chance to set in big time.

Is it November yet?

[hyandui]

[COLOR=skyblue]:chat: Susan, sorry to hear about your accident and I pray that you and Rachel are doing ok. Your car wasn't red by any chance? I told Sherry (my DW) that her (red) car was like a bullseye. She was shaking all day today. Are there any parts left? We were thinking of putting the left over parts on E-bay and finance another cruise to ease the hurts

:grouphug: pixie dust to you all.

Have a safe day everyone!

Susan, Maybe its a good thing you were in a KIA, DW and myself own hyandai's and my youngest daughter was hit broad side in March of this year by a truck, the side air bag saved her life, she was hit so hard in the drivers door that it wrinkled the passenger side floor. :( , KIA and Hyandai's are made by the same people.

Oh well, its just metal, important part is nobody is hurt and the C R U I S E is getting closer :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc

Just wanted to say that I really feel for those involved in the accidents. DH was hit by an 18 wheeler in January while in our Mustang. Scary to say the least. Wishing you all speedy recoveries and hey lets all have a special toast when we get onboard, I think we all deserve it!

[disneydreamer1970]

I am away from here for a couple of days and look at what happens!!

Sherry, Susan and Rachel, I hope that you are all okay and feeling better soon!!!

I had such a reality check this morning...I need to really get serious about packing this weekend....Next weekend is Halloween, we are trick or treating on Saturday in Rye, NH and then will celebrate Halloween at home on Sunday!! The weekend after that we are celebrating Payton's birthday..and then it is time for VACATION!!!

What is everyone's children dressing up like this year???

Payton is going to be Tinkerbelle and Tyler got a new scary mask and is going to use Xsydid's fire gear and be a firefighting monster!! YIKES!!!

Xsydid has been away all week at the New Hampshire Fire Academy, and he is leaving on Halloween for a week at the Nevada Fire Academy to study, weapons of mass destruction..(scary stuff!!) We miss him!!

Talk to ya'll soon!!!!!

[coriedorie]

So sorry, Susan and Sherry, to hear about your accidents! :worried: I hope you and Rachel are doing well and that the post-trauma shakes have stopped. So thankful that there were no injuries!! Prayers that we will all be held safe so that we can have a wonderful vacation!! :sunny:

I seem to be up and running again.

Are all my Krazy Kruz Buds being distracted by the doc dances they're doing that they're all getting banged up and laid up w/ fever, deer sitings and such?!? :earseek:

Can we all just settle down a notch so we can make it to port safely?! :teeth: THEN we'll cut loose!! :earseek: :jumping1: :cool1: :cool1: :drinking1 :drinking1 :drinking1 :rockband: :thewave:

[adisneymama]

Hi everyone! Just got back from the pediatricians office. Aubrey has scratched her eye in several places. UGH So have to watch for infection and put drops in 3x day for the next 3 days. When it rains it pours.

In answer to the halloween ?, Aubrey is going to be Cinderella. I like Tink and the firefighter! Sounds so cute!

Have a good day every one!

[TaraBelle1069]

We got an upgrade!!

No docs yet but every day I check my reservation (several times) online and just now was the first time it didn't say GTY. We are in 1067 which is one deck down from all the category 12 rooms but is a category 10 (woo hoo...split bath and 20 extra square feet!!). Also I guess the benefit is we won't be under a night club (but we are on a floor that doesn't have a hallway running all the way down....oh well, that means there is only one stairway and elevator to use which means I might be less likely to get lost!!).

Maybe now I'll get my docs!

Okay so it's actually 30 extra square feet. Also my less likely to get lost theory is shot as there are three sets of elevators and stairs that go all the way to Deck 1 and one of them will only get us to the aft tender lobby! Oh well, I think by now I've got the layout of the ship memorized so hopefully we'll be okay. No biggie anyway...if we go down the wrong elevator, we'll just go up one deck and cross over.

I did notice that we are in a connecting room which is supposedly more noisy but I'm not that worried about it. Thought it was funny that we connect with 1069...would have loved that room since those are my favourite numbers (hence my screen name and e-mail address). For the next three weeks, I'm going to "wish" for a good looking, single guy to be in that room....hey! I can dream.

IT WASN'T MY FAULT...It was a blind man who decided to turn right in front of me from the opposite direction.:mad:

The policeman asked me if I was ok. I replied, "Shaken, scared, PISSED OFF"

I looked at the guy that caused the accident after he got out of his car COMPLETELY UNINJURED and said, "thanks"

And yes we salvaged the antenna topper. It is now sitting proudly on the antenna of my brand new, ice blue, Kia Spectra. I bought a new car today, and I didn't even need a co-signer. A pretty big accomplishment for me after having to file bankrupcy after my divorce.

So ALLS WELL THAT ENDS WELL.::yes:: ::yes:: ::yes::

[house_of_princesses]

Suse, I didn't mean to imply it was your fault....just wanted you to know I was thinking of you and yours. I am SO happy you are all ok. Must have been very scary. :eek:

It was a blind man who decided to turn right in front of me from the opposite direction
Only in Mt. Washington would they allow a blind man to drive!! :crazy: You better vote wisely on 11/2, get someone in office who can improve the rules of the road!! ;)

[KyCruisinSusan]

Vicki, I know you weren't implying anything. I was just whining. And it didn't happen in Mt Washington. It happened in Louisville. Daggon IDIOTS:crazy:

I just hope the fool had insurance.

I've had 3 car accidents since I got my license 1000 years ago, and not 1 of them has been my fault.

I asked John yesterday if somewhere on my car it says, "HIT ME"

It seems like everytime I buy a brand new car some idiot decides to destroy it withing the first 5 years.

I guess on the happy side of that I'll never have to drive an old car:rolleyes:

[Hannosmom]

It seems like everytime I buy a brand new car some idiot decides to destroy it withing the first 5 years.

[house_of_princesses]

Ok, my doc box is inches thick. Tell me what I'm supposed to do with it?!? :confused: And please refresh my memory...all five of us can use raised seal birth certificates, right? I was going to get us all passports, but at $45 a crack, that's a lot of drinks!! :tongue: :teeth:

I'll start reading while I await an answer...:rolleyes1

[adisneymama]

Vicki - All you need is birth certificates with the raised seal. Not sure how old your DD's are but if any have are driving "adults" need a photo id with the bc. Just a thought.
HTH

[PoohJen]

Man, now I am freaking out. I know all our birth certificates are originals, but i'd better run upstairs to make sure they have raised seals....:confused: :worried:

[SuzPasq]

We finally decided what we're going to do in St. Maarten and St. Thomas. Not sure if anyone remembers me, but we are travelling with our 19month old and our son who turns 7 on 11/13.

We prefer not to do excursions and just do our own thing. In St. Maarten we are going to take the ferry across to the beach. We'll spend a few hours there (and I plan to have my bag packed with a few All Hands on Decks and chicken tenders!) and then head back to the ship.

In St. Thomas, we are getting a day pass to Frenchman's Reef. We'll take a taxi over there and just relax. We will have access to a guest room, which will be nice. Depending on time, we may do the tram. A friend who lives on Peter Island (right near St. Thomas in the BVI) suggested the submarine tour, but our little one is not big enough. Next year!

I'm really getting excited!

[PoohJen]

aaaaagggghhh. major panic attack. Couldn't find Josh's birth certificate in the lock box with all the others. Finally found it in the filing cabinet.. Whew.

BUT...there's no raised seal on John's birth certificate!!! It is his original certificate, even in the original envelope with a 1963 postmark!!! Is this going to be a problem??? Some counsel, please!!!!:crazy: :faint: :scared1: :confused3 :worried:

[adisneymama]

Jen, You might better call DCL. When I talked to them they said it had to have an original raised seal to prove that it was state issued and not a copy. If you live in the same county as where he was born, it is real simple to get one. Just have to go to the health department and wait while it is faxed over. Mine costs about $12 and took about 1 hr of my time. HTH

[hyandui]

PoohJen, Adisneymama, House of Princesses, Suzpasq, if you can't find a birth certificate or need a raised seal copy, just do to [url]www.deptofvitalstatistics.com , answer a few questions and about $6.59 each, takes about 6-10 days, we have used them a couple of times and no problems. hope this helps.::yes::

Also, no standard locks allowed on suitcases, their is a special lock you can use, if TSA security wants to search a bag, they can open it and a red flag opens in the window of the lock, the lock resets after you enter the corect xode again, also they must insert a paper in the bag. I will post the name of the lock if anyone needs them.:earsboy:

[rocadonismom]

UUUGH, can I file my petition for a crappy week and desperate need of a vacation? I have two dogs roc and adonis (hence the screen name) who went out last night and killed me a skunk. They were even kind enough to bring it up onto the porch for me. God Bless Them. So, now I'm headed home with an arsenal of cleaning products to try and de-smell my dogs and my house. Not as bad as car accidents and scratched eyes but, annoying as heck. I'm sorry I didn't take time to read everyone's posts but, hope all is well and I'll check in tomorrow. (Didn't want anyone to think I was just whining and ignoring everything else. :cool: )

I thought I knew where my birth certificate was a few years ago when we wanted to go to Canada. I was wrong. I ended up ordering a new one. Depending on the state it can take quite a while if you don't pay the extra fees to expedite the process. (for and out of state request.)
I am so sorry for everyone who has been having accidents lateley.
I hope things are going well now for you.

My friends dogs got skunked a few years ago. It was awful.
They stank, Her house and pretty much anything fabric in it stank.
She was told that certain feminine hygiene products were good for getting out skunk smell from pets.... She got some odd looks from the folks at the store when she bought like 10 of them, and tomato paste!
3 weeks from today we will all be on the ship!!

:smooth:

[disbigkid]

Oh geez, I don't check for a few days and y'all go out rammin' cars and killin' skunks! Some wild kruzers. :)

Susan I hope you are ok...I bet it was scary. Glad you got your new car!!

Rocadonismom, really sorry to hear about your skunk...that can't be fun!

Ok, well, we're all packed and ready for stateside travels! I have all the kids' cruise stuff packed in one suitcase. DH and I will have to re-pack when we return home. And, I'll have to make a Target run...ahhhh, Target, how I miss it. :) My bank account doesn't though!

Only 6 more days 'til we land in PA!!!

Have a great Sunday! :earboy2:

[KyCruisinSusan]

LOL Carolyn that really stinks. (pun intended)

I think I would rather deal with my car being totalled than 2 skunky smelling dogs, yuck.

Heather we are both doing ok, just bruised, stiff, and sore. But we'll survive and should be A OK before vacation time.

Are you more excited to be coming back to the states or going on the cruise? Can you compare the 2? Have a safe trip home, I don't think any of us can take much more bad luck before vacation time gets here.

[KyCruisinSusan]

Well there is a bit of good news today.

Despite the stressful week, and improper eating during all the stress. I LOST 2 LBS::yes:: :Pinkbounc :bounce:

That makes 13 total so far. Have I passed you Jeanna? LOL

They were even kind enough to bring it up onto the porch for me. God Bless Them. So, now I'm headed home with an arsenal of cleaning products to try and de-smell my dogs and my house. Not as bad as car accidents and scratched eyes but, annoying as heck. I'm sorry I didn't take time to read everyone's posts but, hope all is well and I'll check in tomorrow. (Didn't want anyone to think I was just whining and ignoring everything else. :cool: )

i know of a few truck driver friends whos dogs got sprayed by skunks and they used fabreeze to kill the smell. and it seemed to work.

Disbigkid, good luck on the flight. if you can bring the loch ness monster home with ya LOL

it is almost vacation time for all of us. please be safe out there cause there are people who like to be mean out there. IS IT NOV YET?

[house_of_princesses]

KyCruiseCrazy.....I believe you and I were talking about the new ride, Stitch's Great Escape. I said that DVC members can ride early. Well, that may be true (haven't confirmed it yet) but I just read that AP holders can ride 11/5, 6, & 7! That would include our family, too!! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc So we will be able to try it out before embarkation day!! :teeth: I'll let ya'll know our reviews!! ;)


Sorry to hear about the smelly dog day. Ick! :earseek:

Hey Vicki, John said we're both leaving home on Nov 7th. You said last night that you won't drive all the way thru. Which makes you getting there Nov 8th, same as us, and the ride will be open to the public. We will get to ride it before embarktion too. We can compare experiences.

And gloat to Jen about getting to ride it before her. (evil laugh)

Yes, indeedy, DVC members can try out the new Stitch attraction on Nov. 5, 6, and 7 as well...unfortunately we don't arrive til the 12th. Bugger!

So glad you are ok...and hopefully resting those sore bodies!!

Gosh, it's a toss-up for which event I'm more excited about! :) I think I"m actually more excited for the cruise. The daunting move is just too stressful....we'll be living with family temporarily and then shifting back and forth between PA and upstate NY...just overwhelming.

Ahhh, November is near! :)

[rocadonismom]

PoohJen - before you panic about John's birth certificate not having a raised seal, turn it over and see if there are indentations in the back. You can't see my raised seal unless you look at it this way, so it's worth a try.

Did everyone else find their birth certificates?

Susan (and Rachel) - I'm glad to hear that you are both doing okay and that you've gotten a new car already. Surely the insurance company didn't move that quickly. If they did then I would love the agent's name and company! Insurance companies are usually so difficult. :rolleyes:

TaraBelle - YEAH!! on the upgrade. I'm glad to have some one down in steerage with me. Don't feel bad though, I'm still waiting for my documents too. Maybe they are waiting until the last possible moment to try and give us even better rooms. LOL

disbigkid - so glad you're on the way back to PA. Everything must be crazy right now with packing and planning. Good luck!

adisneymama - how is Aubrey's eye doing?

One question about the Stitch attraction. I had heard the it was the same thing as the Extraterrestial Alien thing. Is it? Or is it just in the same building? I'll anxiously be awaiting everyone's reports.

Okay, off to try and de-skunk some more of my house. Maybe it's just me but, I still feel like I can smell it everywhere. :crazy
::yes:: :crazy:

[PoohJen]

Greetings from Chicago!!! Jeanna and Vicki, beautiful city y'all have here. I got in this afternoon, walked along Navy Pier. Much like Boston's Quincy Market/Fanuiel Hall (doh! can remember how to spell that!), but bigger. got a little Coney Island thing going for it too. Any way, lovely day! Weather here much better than I left it in Va!

So Linda, done with your science experiments...?

Have a good week, y'all!

[house_of_princesses]

Jen, I didn't know you were coming to our fair city! (If I did, I forgot. :crazy: ) Are you alone or with family? If you were alone, you should have let us know....today would have been a beautiful day to play tour guide! (I love playing tour guide.)

We're supposed to go to the Aquarium tomorrow (Monday), but Zib has a slight fever tonight. We'll see how she is in the am. :(

Hope everyone is sleeping well... I have work to do now. :rolleyes:

Well, after looking EVERYWHERE for my BC and finding everybody else's BC's except mine, I broke down and bought a new one. And THEN I find the place where my DH put all of our "important" papers. (He forgot where he put them!!:rolleyes: ) Not one but two copies were in the folder!!!:crazy2: Oh well, at least I'm prepared now!!

Thanks!!

I've read a couple of posts on Stitch. Seems it's very similar to the Alien thing....same seats with the over the shoulder bars, Stitch is in the center, etc.

Hope your de-skunking is working!! Maybe you still smell it because it made it on to your clothes! :eek: :p

Hope you all have a good Monday!

[KyCruisinSusan]

Jeanna, have you reported your weight loss to Dad yet?

If you didn't lose anything this week it means I'm in the lead. woohoo for the moment anyway.

You better get your butt in gear. I'm doing this challenge for you to keep you motivated. Step away from the buffet. LOL

I fully expect you to reach goal before I do, SO STOP EATING BAD STUFF. You only have 3 more weeks, YOU CAN DO IT.

[Sue Sullivan]

Tina,

That's so funny about finding the birth certificates. I do that kind of thing all the time. We ordered a new one for DH and then found his original too. Well, better overprepared I say. I bought a nice little necklace for my 6 year old daighter to wear at dinner on the cruise and "put it away" so I could surprise her with it onboard and of course I can't find it now. She loves to dress up!! Maybe I'll come acrosee it while packing.

Hope everyone has a great day.

[mrsmg]

Gee, everytime I don't check in for a day or two so much happens!!
Rocadonismom- Sorry about your skunk incident, we have two dogs also and I can't imagine having to deal with that!:(
Congrats to Jeanna and Susan for your weight loss! My DD who is also coming with her son and husband had a different point of view. I think someone else on the disboards mentioned it once before but my DD figured it's better to stretch your stomach so you could eat and eat! Unfortunately she did just that and went up two sizes!! Now she can't fit into anything she bought for the cruise. She's been asking to barrow shorts and pants from her "heavier" friends.
Adisneymama- Hope Aubrey's eye is better! That sounds painful!

[adisneymama]

OK, I got knocked off the notification list again! UGH!:(

Aubrey's eye is almost healed. Thanks for asking. I am so glad I don't have to put those drops in her eyes anymore. She hates it!

We have all of our birth certificates. Hope everyone else has thiers.

Ok, I can't remember anything else I read, so I'll check back later.
Have a good Monday.

:teeth: All done! 1 bottle of Fairy Tale Cuvee' equals 6.5 servings of champagne. I think. I did have a little headache on Sunday, though.:drinking: :tilt:

After studying my packing list, DH thinks we need another large suitcase. :earseek: I think he may be right!:crazy: So we'll be out shopping for another suitcase this coming weekend.

18 days!!!!:Pinkbounc :bounce: :bounce:

[TinkHappy]

Hi All!!!

Are we chatting on this Tuesday? I have not been able to chat, I have been very busy with work/soccer/birthdays/Anniversarys, ect...

Today is DD Samantha's Birthday

Tomorrow is DH and my Anniversary

:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc


Susan ~ I am SOOOO sorry about your accident, I am very glad you are OK!!! Congrats on the new car :teeth:

Rocadonismom ~ WOW skunk, that is a real bummer. We have two dogs and one is a beagle that likes to go after EVERYTHING, including skunks!!! I have been there. That smell (the oils) stick to everything. I called my vet and he gave me something to get rid of the smell.

Weight loss...I have lost a total of 12lbs and I am very happy. I just haven't had time to send the info to "Dad"

TaraBelle ~ Congrats on the UPGRADE!!!:teeth: , That's great. Nothing like a little more room!!

OK, I think that is all for now. It seems I miss a couple of days and I am backed up 4 pages...

[KYCruiseCrazy]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Samantha and HAPPY ANNIVERSERY. SUSAN IS OK THE CAR IS TOAST. i cant wait til our vacation. cya then

[KyCruisinSusan]

Happy Birthday Samantha, Happy Anniversary Tracy:bday: :cake: :cheer2:

I am ok for the most part. My left knee is a mess. My entire leg, below the knee is twice as big as my right leg below the knee.

They didn't xray it in the emergency room. The ER doc said if I could walk on it, it wasn't broken.

I do have an appointment tomorrow afternoon with my family doc. I need to know if I need to be standing on it for 13 1/2 hrs a day. I'm due to go back to work on Wednesday. If they tell me that I need to be off work then thank God I have short term disability insurance.

Got the police report today and it was a head on collision. The man I hit "failed to yield the right of way". I spoke with his insurance company this afternoon and they told me that he admitted full responsibility. Also found out via the police report that he is 65yrs old. I never would have guessed that from looking at him.

Sooooooooooo now I'm playing the waiting game. When will insurance pay off, and what kind of settlement will State Farm be willing to make.

Brush up on your injury law Jen, I may need to ask you some questions. LOL

[TaraBelle1069]

Random thoughts coming.

"The Incredibles" opens before we sail so it'll be playing on board. "National Treasure", the new Nicolas Cage movie, is a Disney movie and opens November 19th. That's CC day, right? Will it open that day?

I found someone on another thread who had posted saying they got an upgrade from cat. 12 to a 10...1069. I think I may have found my connecting neighbours! Not sure when they are sailing (no countdown clock). I asked but who knows if they actually want to find their neighbours in advance!! :) Family with two kids ages 4 and 5, I think.

I re-lost one of the two pounds I gained two weeks ago last week. Hoping things speed up now as some of my cruise wear is a little snug!

PoohJen...did you get any advice about your birth certificate?

That reminds me...I really should be packing now rather than posting!

John, Thanks!!! :wave: I feel much better now and will likely take the plunge to download the real AIM so I can get a few extra features.

[KYCruiseCrazy]

well this trip will be full. only 6 cat 4 rooms left on the DCL website. i need all the pixie dust and prayers from everyone. all is good but due to the accident it's going to be fun. susan's leg is now keeping her from work. can you say sue sue sue LOL we should be ok but pixie dust and prayers are always welcome. we have been through some hard times and we have always worked it out. thank you everyone and cant wait til the cruise to see everyone for the first time. IS IT NOV YET?

[disneydreamer1970]

Hi Ya'll!!

Another busy week here!! I so need a vacation!!!

I hope that Susan's leg gets better soon...lots of prayers and pixie dust is on its way!!

Payton is sick today...she had a temp of 103 earlier...she is sleeping...poor baby.

I am really stressing about packing and preparing for vacation...Ken is off to Nevada for the week next week and I need to pack and prepare for Payton's Birthday Party that is being held 2 days before we leave!!!

In 2 weeks, we will be at EPCOT!! Woo-Hoo!!!!!

Have a good night everyone...I am off to start my packing!!

[PoohJen]

Heather,
I don't Aim on my laptop b/c the putr belongs to my work, and also b/c I'm not really sure what kind of firewall protection I have when I go wireless (like tonite). I trust my firewall on my home computer. but I know my girlfriend's computer was wrecked from her kids' instant messaging, file sharing, etc. I don't know what kind (if any) firewall she had at that time. I bet none.

Jeanna/Vicki - I'm headed to "Phil Stefani's 437 Rush" for dinner, then followed up by House of Blues. Par-ty! I'll let you know how it goes!

G'nite all!

[hyandui]

I hate to throw a monkey wrench into everyone's countdown clock but because of a stupid government law, we all get shoved back 1 hour this weekend. Is there no end to this insanity? I need a vacation?:confused: . I was happy today till the thought of 1 more hour delay:crazy:

Maybe if enough people wrote to their senators, we could move the delay to November 20th, at least that way we would get an extra hour of bliss.

TinaRN, I take by your Dis-name that you are a RN, if so here's to you:D :D . for its not just the hours but the challenge, As an Volunteer EMT for 20 years I know you will see alot of different calls during that time, some crazier than others.::yes::

Lets see. Wednesday is a total eclipes and Saturday I think is a full moon:hyper: boy will you be busy.LOL

If it gets to crazy, just close your eyes, click you red velvet shoes together and say "I AM ON THE MAGIC" if you do this 3 times, probably nothing will happen, but al least you can say you tried:crazy:

I need to go ship some stuff to Shirley now, but I hope everyone has a great day! BTW nice chat last nite....even though I was quite out of it!!!:faint: :faint: :faint:

[adisneymama]

Susan - So sorry to hear about your leg. I hope taking off work and staying off it will make it heal by the time we get on the ship so you can really enjoy yourself and not be in pain while on vacation. Take care and prop up that leg!

Tina - We have friends that are nurses and they have told us some stories! LOL In fact, spent most of Monday night at the ER and saw some of them first hand! You must REALLY love your job! LOL

I hope Payton is feeling better! (((((Get well soon vibes))))))
Like I said, spent most of Monday night at the ER. DH heart raced and he felt like he was going to pass out, blood pressure was high etc. Found out his potassium was VERY low. They think that is the cause. He had an u/s done yesterday and is wearing the 24 hr monitor until about noon today. Then we see a cardiologist later this week. They think the blood pressure med is the cause. His reg GP put him on 2 bp meds and one is a diuretic which could cause the potassium problem. But they have never tested anything so on to the cardiologist to see if he even needs to be on bp meds! Can you believe this? to repeat John....

IS IT NOVEMBER YET!!!!!!!

Ok, got to run, gymnastics this morning. I'll check in with you all later. Hope everyone is doing well. We can't have anymore illnesses or accidents around here.

2:30 at the Prominade Lounge is good as we all have to return to our rooms at 3:30ish to get our life jackets!

Don't forget my sign :smooth: !!!

[PoohJen]

Hi All!
Back from Chicago; had a blast, especially at House of Blues!:jester:

I'm sorry to here of everyone's ills and bad strokes of luck redently - time to turn this tide around!::yes::

Now, I can't claim this competes with accidents or illnesses, but maybe you can all get a chuckle at my recent aggravation: tonite whilst DH and Ryan were doing homework, Josh was playing trumpet, and I was doing kitchen chores, I had plunked Kieran in the tub. Apparently I failed to ever come back up and tell him to shut off the water. Yes, Josh comes screaming that our downstairs bathroom was flooding, run upstairs to find Kieran playing obliviously in the tub, while the water - still running - is pouring over the sides and across the floor! ##@@@!!!!!!:faint: :scared: :sad2:

OMG. Time to crack open that emergency bottle of Baileys...:crazy:

Oh! btw, the keynote speaker at my lunch yesterday was none other than Disney Chairman of the Board Senator George Mitchell. What an excellant speaker! He took questions at the end, but I refrained from asking whether tropical wear is still acceptable on Pirates night. :earsgirl:

[adisneymama]

Jen - So sorry about the water! What a mess I am sure! How cool though about your special "keynote" speaker! How did you ever refrain? LOL

Hope everyone is having a good evening.

Susan - How is that leg?

Goodnight!

[KYCruiseCrazy]

Debbie, the leg is a little better, not to much pain today. Still swollen twice as big as the right one but it will get there.

Jen, I bet you never leave your child in the tub alone again, with the water running, but on a happy note, mopping is good exercise. LOL

Pat, I am in charge of delivery signs and I promise not to forget yours. It's in the binder with the rest of them. Have you heard anything from Andy about the other ones?

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Too funny, Jen!

Bath time is so much fun! I have very fond memories (NOT) of my two boys in the tub, gleefully dumping buckets of water on the floor. The downstairs ceiling had to be drained. :rolleyes: (And I still let them live:p )

Not trying to cornfuse anybody but this was me on John's computer last night. I forgot to change screen names:crazy:

[TinkHappy]

Is it just me...or is anyone else in a state of PANIC??!!!!!! :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

Don't get me wrong, I just feel like there is so much to do still and no time to do it. I need help!!! :crazy: (or maybe just a glass of wine):teeth:

[mrsmg]

Jen- Loved reading about your "recent aggravation". You have a terrific sense of humor!:hyper:

Linda- I can relate, my kids STILL dump buckets of water on the bathroom floor. If we're downstairs, we can hear the drips. That's when we know it's time to get the mop!:earsgirl:

Okay, so it's the Promenade Lounge at 2:30. It's a good thing I checked in because last I knew, it was changed to deck 10. Can't wait to meet everyone!:wave:

[feenie]

Between laundry, packing, cleaning, and list making I may go insane! everything is packed, or on a list to be backed... Just not in the final packing list order! EEEKKK!
I think I need a list for my lists!:crazy:
7 more work days!!! ;)

[hyandui]

Hello everyone, anyone out there who isn't excited about the cruise?
John, are you leaving for the park in 7 days? We will be in EPCOT on the 10th of November.
I think I must be crackin up, today I had to go to MahWah NJ for training, we have a security buseness, and while we should have been takin notes on the new products, I was doodling, drawing pictures of the ship.:smooth:

Soooooo, Lets kick up the excitement level to high gear. my bags are packed and I am ready to go/:Pinkbounc :jester: :bounce: :jester: :Pinkbounc :jester: :bounce:

[hyandui]

I just sent a post, then I read Feenie's post and started to sing.

He's making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out whose packed

or not, Mickey Mouse I'm coming to town. ( sung to Santa's comin

to town) :rockband: Boy do I need a vacation!

rocadonismom was having a bad day today, she needs cheering up.:crazy:

Not quite, but close. I only have one pair of shorts (the rest shorts, capris, skirts and pants) and I checked out the weather...feels like 44 (Celcius..not sure Farenheit but that's really hot) in St. Maarten and 41 (still very hot) in St. Thomas...something like 33 (hot) in Orlando.

Luckily our flight times were moved up (both going and coming home) so we have a bit more time to shop in Florida. Hopefully I find some shorts because, unless I want plaid flannel ones, I'm not going to find them here!

Plus I still haven't got my docs!!!:eek: :scared1:

Ralph, we are leaving home in 9 days on Nov 7th. We will be in Florida Monday morning Nov 8th.

I now have a scumbag, I mean attorney. The investigator came out to the house today and took pictures of my leg and foot which is now a lovely shade of purple. Not sure where that's coming from. I have an appointment with my chiropractor tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully he can do some ultrasound on my knee to help it along. I'm going to Disney even if I have to go in a wheelchair

Can you say--Go to the head of the ride line.

[hyandui]

Susan, sorry to hear about your leg, BUT what you need is one of the motorized carts:moped: then you not only get to go to the front of the line, :charac2: you get to go there fast.:jumping1:

[Sue Sullivan]

Well, I finally got my docs. One quick question, on the Bahama Immigration form, is the travel agency Disney Cruise Line or the actual agency that booked the cruise, in my case *****************?

I bet none.

PoohJen,
thanks! Yes, firewalls are essential these days, aren't they?! Probably a good idea you're better safe than sorry! HOpe you have a great trip!

I am not positive, but I think it is DCL since that is who owns the ship bringing us there. I haven't filled them out yet, so am interested in knowing for sure myself.

Susan - Your leg sounds terrible! I sure hope it heals so you can enjoy yourself at WDW, but LOL at the front of the line!

I have some stuff packed, but the problem is that it is still so hot here I can't pack our shorts until right before we leave. We still need them! I still have the change bottles to sort and roll, ironing to do and packing. Still have to go buy a bigger suitcase (and Mt Dews!) and film. To make matters worse we have a special at our church next weekend that we have to attend. So yes, I am starting to feel overwhelmed! But I know I'll get it done! Think positive right?

Good Morning to everyone! Happy Friday!!!! 2 weeks from today we will be meeting most of you at the Radisson!!! I can't wait!

[disneydreamer1970]

Okay....my boss has decided that Ken and I need to come home from vacation with a "little souvenier"!!!:scared1:

Today, whenever I go into his office or walk by him, he starts singing the theme to The Love Boat!! He is nuts!!!

I think I feel a good practical joke coming on!!!!

Have a great day everyone!!!!:crazy:

[feenie]

:D
DH's pirate outfit is done!! It looks REALLY great!! He is so excited. AAARRGGHH!

He is going to have a blast on pirate night!pirate:

[TinaRN]

I'm so overwelmed, I could scream!!!!!!!! :earseek: :scared: Unfortunately I have....to my DH!:rolleyes:
And I'm glad to see I'm not the ONLY ONE who hasn't started packing! I DO have a stack as tall as me in my closet that is all for the cruise...so maybe that sort of counts!;) :teeth:

Now for my EXTREMELY LONG WEEKEND AT WORK!!!!!!!!!!:crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2: :faint: :faint: :faint:

[GrayFal]

I purchased a "power strip" so I can plug in my 'sound machine', battery charger, cell phone and hair dryer near the desk/vanity area.....does the plug there accept a 3 prong plug? I thought I would ask here before I posted on the 'regular' board,,,,figure you smarty ::yes:: pants would know ::yes:: !

That's the right attitude (the going even if you have to be in a wheelchair)!

The daughter of a woman I worked with at the Disney Store had an accident at Fort Wilderness and ended up in a cast (with serious complications later). They got preferential treatment wherever they went. When I go to get on a ride and it's stopped because they are loading or unloading someone in a wheelchair, I'll be wondering if it's you!!!

Same here so I'm going to say that counts! Having kids over tomorrow to carve pumpkins so no packing until at least tomorrow night!

:jester:

According to page 84 of the Passporter's Field Guide to the Disney Cruise Line "staterooms are outfitted with four standard U.S. 110v, three-pronged electrical outlets: two near the desk/vanity and two behind the TV. Two special outlets - one in each bathroom - are marked "for shavers only" and have a standard U.S. 110v, two-prong outlet along with a European 220v outlet (20 watts/20VA max.)"

Of course, I DO have the Passporter....just never thought to look :crazy: ....must be the STRESS........are we having fun yet ::yes:: ?

edited to add have the power strip and a 12 foot extension cord,,,thanks!

So Glad you got your Tickets !!!

Susan, definitely milk the WC thing ......

Out for the evening ... see you guys around :jester:

[hyandui]

The outlets will accept a three prong plug, you should bring a power strip and a 6-9 foot extension cord is good to have, I use a C-Pap machine and the extension is the only way to get power over to the nightstand, the two bedlamps take up the outlet that is there.

C O U N T D O W N to November, 2,1 Blastoff::yes:: ::yes::

Then 9 days to WDW

[SuzPasq]

LOL, I've had my family packed since the end of August!>

Probably because you live in a place where it's not still summer! Tomorrow will be 81 here and we are still wearing our cruise/summer clothes. The only things we've packed thus far are swimsuits and pool/beach accessories.

[adisneymama]

Suzanne - If you are near Atlanta you don't live too far from me. Atlanta is about 3 hrs away. That is how it is here! HOT! I have swimsuits and sunscreen type stuff packed and the few things that we bought "just for the cruise", but nothing else. We are still wearing them! I'll be washing and ironing all day and night on the 11th!:rolleyes:

Hope you are all having a good evening.

[feenie]

It is definitly NOT hot here! We have had nice thick layers of frost on our car every morning this week.
The question is... Will snow fly before we leave... (man I hope not!) I guess it already has in the mountains, just not at our house yet.:rolleyes:
Woo Hoo!! It's almost NOVEMBER!!
Yeah!!

[house_of_princesses]

PANIC is my middle name!!

Not sweating here!! Becca leaves Monday. I'm gonna' miss my baby!! :sad1: :sad2:

Same here except our high tomorrow is 87! :blush: :crazy2:

And now my DD has outgrown all of her shorts! And even though it is still hot as heck here, you can only find winter clothes! We don't even get a decent winter here, so why do they sell heavy winter wear?!!:confused3

[adisneymama]

Tina - I used to travel to Baton Rouge all the time for a job I had when we lived in Mobile. I agree we don't get a winter at all! Why are there ski parkas for sale at Walmart? Good luck finding some shorts for your DD. Have you looked on Ebay? I find a lot of nice clothes for Aubrey on there for very cheap. Most of them still have the tags on them.

HOpe everyone has a good weekend. I'll be in and out. Talk to you all soon.

I hope it's not like that in Florida. I really need more than one pair of shorts! I'm evening thinking of ordering from LLBean but don't know how long it might take to get to Canada. Guess I should make up my mind soon!

[KYCruiseCrazy]

in my wildest dreams did i think we would hit 132 pages!!!! 2 weeks to go. i cant wait. this will be a vacation to remember. all is good at this end. everyone is still healthy. :yo-yo: ::yes:: :wave: pirate: :jester: :earsboy:

[adisneymama]

Tara - It's going to be that way in FL too. You might still find some shorts but the selection won't be great. Are you going to be stopping somewhere in the us first? I did see a post about being able to ship things to the port to meet you there. Could you maybe order from a catalog but have them shipped there?

[SuzPasq]

Tina, have you checked Old Navy, Gap, and Lands End (either online or at Sears)? This is the best time of year for me to get shorts for my boys. Good luck!

I never thought about that. I'm staying at Pop Century for the two nights before. However, I was thinking about ordering a 3-in-1 jacket, too, which I definitely do not need on this trip!

[xsydid]

Well, its almost here. The DW and I were up early to do the "single digit dance" together. This week is going to be a long one for both of us. I know your going to be juggling work and the kids, I wish I were here to help. You have put so much effort in this vacation and deserve nothing short of perfection. I want you to know that while im away this week, I will be thinking of you. You will be telling everyone at work the count down ti'll we leave, because you can, lol. I love you, and want so much for this vacation to be everything you want it to be. where else better then on the Magic. I love you so much, I will miss you this week. I know you will read this because you will be checking the count down I figure every four or five hours to make sure its getting closer, lol.
To my DW,
:firefight :lovestruc :love2: :flower2: :drinking1 :cloud9: puckerup:
I love you trish, we are going to have so much fun.

Can you order the jacket when you get back? Or could someone else receive it for you? I know with Jc Penney and Sears you can seperate your shipments. Part go here, part go there etc. I wish I could remember the address for UPS and Fedex packages to Pop Century but can't. We had a package shipped to us when we were there in May. All you have to do is call them though. HTH and good luck!

Trish - you need to show hubby how to PM! :hyper:

[disneydreamer1970]

Sorry about that guys....I guess he was missing me already last night. He kinda poured his heart out here for all to see.

We bought Payton the Belle gown and accessories for her birthday and we are going to let her take it on the cruise. Are there any other princesses in this group???

.......LOVE is all you need :love:

....and in the end, the :love: LOVE you take, is equal to the :love: LOVE you make.

Anyway, MY DH :scratchin is making fun of me :confused3 as I have attached my DIS :earsboy: Pins to my Lanyard :earsgirl: with my DCL :boat: pins.....the man has NO sense of :rolleyes1 humor! I wanted him to put on his DIS :earseek: pin to get in the mood, but he's not buying it :crazy:
I am not feeling the LOVE :love: here!

edited to add it takes a LOOONNNNG time to fill out those Cruise Docs....better get started :jester:
Sarah, I am getting my pins together for our advanture......
And what happens if you have "favorite " pins you want to wear and NOT trade????? How does that work?

Same here in CT!!! I would LOVE it if it were too hot to pack my shorts ::yes::

[adisneymama]

We have a princess here too. I am going to take Aubrey's Cinderella costume, she may or may not wear it. Not going to fight her on it. How sweet of your dh! No need to apologize!

Happy Halloween! Hope everyone is having a good evening.

[PoohJen]

Pat, you just say you're not trading that pin! No worries! I rarely wear pins that I am willing to trade. At WDW last week, I had one pin that I used just for trading...trade it day one, then trade away the pin I got for it, and so on, just to partake in the fun of trading.

Halloween is exhausting me...it should end at 8pm. Of course, we still have lots of candy left (not to mention the kids' loot!), so these last two weeks of weight loss should be curiously disappointing...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN Y'ALL!!!! BWAAAHAAAHAAAHAAAHA!pirate: :crazy: :earseek:

[hyandui]

Its now 8:30 Sunday night, we jut gave out the last of the candy, over 80 bars of candy given out:earseek: I;m still trying to get over this cruel joke of adding that extra hour to my wait time:cool: 3 1/2 hours and October is out of here.


We are now in a nine day countdown, our flight out comes at 6:30AM Wed the 10th:bounce:


We are looking forward to meeting everyone and hope that all are well, no more accidents or sickness.

Anyone at EPCOT on Wednesday, we'll be the one's wearing a Mickey Mouse hat.:crazy:

[lovinlife]

Hi everyone, It has been a beautiful day here on Long Island. the weather was perfect ( jeans and t-shirt kind of day) the kids were adorable and trick-or-treating was fun. Loads of kids in my neighborhood, lots of adults dressed up as well. But one more snickers bar and I'm going to have to re-think my entire cruise wardrobe!!! Well I'm halfway packed, one side of our bedroom looks like a laundry bomb went off. We leave on Tues. the 9th for AKL!!!! I'm looking forward to meeting all of you! Everyone stay healthy and safe!
-Liz
BTW Trish no need to apologize, I thought your DHs 'open letter' was pretty cool...enjoy it!

[KyCruisinSusan]

Heather, I hope you and your family made it back to the states ok.

I don't envy you that move at all.

This time next week we'll be in the car headed south. WOOHOO

It's almost here it's almost here, it's almost here.

John is in the living room watching the video tape from last years cruise. He's really got the bug BAD.:crazy:

[TinaRN]

Well, I'm officially 36 today:sad2: :scared1: :faint: However since it IS All Saints Day, then I must be a :angel: (Saint). :teeth: I can't wait to be on the boat celebrating my B-Day!!!

Today we will begin to pack!! I'm at work right now (12:50am), so I'll sleep first then get to packing! I know... it's about time!
