Good Evening All :banana: :banana: :banana: ,


Pat: Drew have 2 small suitcases. One is all the formula, diaper, baby food, and stuff like that and the other one is all his little clothes. The baby food that I use for Drew is Gerber Stage # 1 and it comes in 2 packs so that saved us on room and they are also plastic so I don't have to worry about them breaking :teeth: :teeth: :teeth: !!! Are you packing baby food for Laura??

Esther and Stephen are packing baby food for Laura. She is on stage 2. That stage comes in jars! They were wondering how to pack 7 days worth without them breaking! :scared: We did discuss bubble wrap.

Good Morning All :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
Well it was a scary :scared1: :scared1: morning here!! DS was watching me put in wash that DH had and fall back and hit his head on the floor. He cried but doesn't seem to be acting different.
I am soooooo nervous !!!!Should I call the doctor??

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Pat, besides bubblewrap make sure it is in a carry on bag. The checked luggage gets banged around pretty good sometimes. I have stood on my balcony and watched bags fall off the carrier box on the fork lift about 12 feet to the ground a few times when they were packed too high.

Kathy :wave:

[TiggerKing]

Not sure if anyone has any idea about this - and I did post on the main forum but....

Dh informs me (just now!!!!!!!!!!!!) that he CANNOT go 7 days without e-mail from work. So....does anyone know if a crackberry (Blackberry) will work onboard? What if we buy the wireless package? Any other options you can think of? He just needs to send and receive e-mail.

Thanks!
Sarah, if he can access his Blackberry server through a normal wireless network, that would work. The wireless package is expensive, though. There is no unlimited version. But, if I recall correctly, most Blackberries work through a cellular network. If that is the case, he will only have access to it on Tuesday and Wednesday. He needs to check with his IT dept. about the wireless deal.

Of course, the other option is to use the internet cafe. He cannot download or upload files, but if his company has a web portal for e-mail, he can at least send and receive messages.

Now, for the most important part: Do you want me to work him over Friday night about reminding him that this is a FAMILY vacation, and work can survive without him? Tell him to give them the emergency ship number and they can pay the $6.95 per minute to talk to him if it is that important. You would be AMAZED at how many things can wait until you return when you tell them the cost of a phone call! :lmao:

[TiggerKing]

Okay, to keep Kathy happy, I will make another post. I don't want her pulling our her whip and coming to my cabin with it!

This is one of the door signs I made last night. Not quite as fancy as Bill's, but I like it!

I most of read Kathy post 3 times and could not believe snow in Florida :confused3 :confused3 !!! Well it is in the 30's here today in NY. Well I will keep posting when I can!! I will try Kathy!!

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Bob,
loved the sign.

Since were neighbors on board, me and my whip can easly find you. You wont even be safe on the verandah, as I can whip it around the corner if need be!!! :rotfl2: So keep posting. :cheer2:

I am counting them today!!! :rolleyes1

DH just looked at our total count on his way out the door for work and said You'll never make it to 6000 by the cruise. That is twice in 24 hours he has told me that :furious:

Gotta keep it up today, this is my 4th post today. I challenge everyone to keep up with my posts today. Even if you have to wait til after work to post.

Kathy :wave:

I dont know if this helps but I just read a post from someone with a blackberry and they were told it wouldnt work on board.
something about the ships wireless works on 802.11 what ever that means.

Maybe your DH will understand what it means.
Then they said what Bob said, just use the internet cafe and pay for the package deal to save money and tell work they can pay the bill!!

You might be able to find the post on the main forum to read it if you want. I dont remember the exact title but it had the workds blackberry in it so it ownt be hard to find.
Right now it is towards the top of the page.

hope this may help a little,

[TIGGER41681]

Hey All :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: ,
Well today I am going to afew toys for the airplane ride for DS at Babies R Us since I did not get a chance to go yesterday. I am washing DS's bottles as I type in the dishwasher so I can pack 3 of them when they dry!!
We are all packed!!! Just have to add brushes and stuff like that Friday morning!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[TIGGER41681]

2 days till we leave!!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[TIGGER41681]

Safe trip to everyone heading out, I can't wait to meet all of you guys!

Lynn:: I caved, I registered Madison for the nursery for 2 hours (1 hour on Thrs. and 1 hour on Friday). When will Drew be there?

I have to repack b/c the luggage is over 50 lbs, but it's crazy, the luggage itself must be like 15 pounds itself! I have to repack everything and distribute them evenly in other luggages so I won't have to pay the over weight charge. :confused3 And the pack rat that I am, I'm having trouble with it.

Ok, have a great night everyone!!!

Queenie,
Yes Drew is registered for nursery. He is going on Tuesday while we are at Palo's and Thursday while we are brunch at Palo's.

[dkmjgal]

Good Morning Everyone!

It's a chilly morning here in NJ. I am going to run a few errands today and then hopefully get my nails done. I got my pedi done yesterday so at least my toes won't feel nekked :thumbsup2

KATHY - Me and Don had our Honeymoon in Disneyworld. While we were there it snowed in Jacksonville and they also had to cancel the Polynesian Luau due to cold weather!!!

I will do my best to get my 10 posts in today...heck...maybe I'll try to get more.

I'll be back shortly!

LYNN - I am sure DS is ok. I remember how scary it is though :grouphug: . Just keep an eye on him and make sure he's acting normal...eating normal...the main things to watch out for when a child bumps their head is that they don't vomit or seem excessively tired.

BOB - I LOVE the door sign :thumbsup2

Thanks Kathy - that was actually my post so I am sure I will be able to find it ;) . I actually e-mailed DH the info from the responses (and Bob's info on this thread) so hopefully he can figure out whatever he needs. I was bugging him this morning about being 'Mr Last Minute' and he truly didn't see my point - MEN! :rolleyes:

[woogal]

OK, that was way too annoying to even do, especially with the 40-second rule!

Bob, nice sign! :thumbsup2 Who woulda ever thought a mere accountant could be so creative? :lmao:

Sarah, um, a photo of my brows??? Better now than before I waxed them!! :eek: :rotfl2:

Kathy: should we have name tags for the meet? I'm thinking someone in here might have some laying around their office that they could "borrow". Maybe I'm going overboard (so to speak) with the planning.

[TIGGER41681]

Does anybody know that number of the ship?? I want to give it to my mom.

[DutchsMommy]

So, off to a pretty good start this morning. All seems well here, and fairly quiet. There was frost all over the cars this morning though! Can't wait for the :sunny: .

Tonight is finish packing night, pray for my stupid costume night, and make sure everything is organized in the house night. Hopefully it will also be 'have a good sleep' night but I seriously doubt it. I am SO excited!!!!!!!!

Anyway - will post later.

[woogal]

Oh I forgot to mention ... I e-mailed Sunny to confirm his prices and he said it is still $25/person (I think Jan said it was $30). Jan, maybe he remembers how much trouble you cause and jacked yours up!!!! :rotfl2:

[Dixielady908]

Morning all: didnt get to read all the posts this morning....however I did see Bob's door sign.....

Shell: I was thinking the same thing earlier this week. But being in hyper multi-tasking mode this week, I forgot to mention it. I'll pick up some name tags on my way home tonight. It helps at the DIS meet.

[JanDave]

I talked to Linda(Babe) this morning and she was complaining of the cold. But, she's enjoying her vacation at Wilderness Lodge.

I'm sure you must be right, Shell!!! Even the extra $10 for Dave and me is worth it!!! Just an FYI for those going on Sunny's tour, the restaurant is closed at Sapphire Beach. However, there is a gift shop/party store for snacks, beverages, etc. And, most importantly, the restrooms are open at the hotel.

Jan

[JanDave]

Bob: I love your latest door sign. Can you create a book of door signs???!!!

Jan

[woogal]

QUICK! Somebody Post Before Kathy Beats Us Up!

[jd99]

Does anybody know that number of the ship?? I want to give it to my mom.

Lynn - It's 1-888-DC-ATSEA. It costs $6.95 per minute and if your mom calls you they will ask for a credit card before connecting. We called out from the ship one time because we had problems getting in touch with MIL while in Key West and had no choice, talked for less than a minute. And we didn't get charged! :-) Not sure how that happened but we figure pixie dust.

[jd99]

So for those of you still following the continuing saga of my poor sickie DD Emily, she's on her way to the doctor's now. Mostly as a precaution that there isn't an ear infection brewing since she has had more than a few of those over her short little lifetime so far. We should almost always just schedule a Doc's appointment the week before flying because it never fails that she doesn't develop "something" that looks like it might be an ear infection, cough, bronchitis or some such thing everytime we go away. So, fingers crossed and pixie dust that all is well. We're getting used to this after having our first DD NEVER get sick (still doesn't). It's amazing how different 2 kids can be. And first DD went to daycare full time from 6 months to four years and she was never sick. This DD goes part time - 2 or 3 days a week at the most and she started later. Go figure.

[jd99]

Bob - love the door sign. Mine isn't so creative. Just clip art of our favorite disney characters. But both DD's drew their own and they are precious.

[jd99]

Anyone else going to try to upgrade at the port? Seems from reading the main board that lots of folks have been successful at that lately. We may give it a shot if we get there early enough. How early do you think we need to get there?

[jd99]

How about that Kathy. I'm halfway through my daily quota that fast! :rotfl:

[pgfour]

OK -- I'm here and ready to do my part!!

Put that whip away Kathy! :scared:

I've been busily working on work stuff!

Jeff,
We are going to try to upgrade at the port. We are going to get on the 1st bus since we are at the airport already.

[TIGGER41681]

Wow, we must all be scared :scared1: :scared1: of Kathy!!



Jeff: I hope DD feels better. This is for her pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust:!! Thank you for the phone number to the ship!! With my grandmother ill I don't want my Mom to have it and hope she doesn't have to use it!!!

[jd99]

Jeff,
We are going to try to upgrade at the port. We are going to get on the 1st bus since we are at the airport already.

Lynn - Did you see my post on the main board about getting on the first bus if you are at the Hyatt. Someone responded saying that you have to get your name on a list to make sure you know which bus you are on....Since the last time we just got off a plane and onto our bus, I had no idea that was necessary. Check out the thread on the main board. It's called "First Bus" and is near the top because I just posted another question.

[TIGGER41681]

Where is Kathy??

[disneediva]

Boy Kathy you sure have these people scared of you

[disneediva]

Jeff we are getting there at 1000 at will try to upgrade at the port

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Great job so far everyone! :thumbsup2
I just got back from taking Minnie for a chilly walk then to the pharmacy to pick up the last minute refills on prescriptions. Packed one suitcase and will do the other later this afternoon.



Jeff,
1/2 way this early is AWESOME, but since you are that quick today, maybe I ought to up your quota another 5 posts :rolleyes1

Wendy,
of course they are scared of me!!! :scared: :eek:
They have probably been talking to people from my past cruises :rotfl2:
I can be a MEAN old lady when I have to!! :mad:

That's the experience of raising 4 kids and beingmarried to an arnry old cuss for so many years :lmao:


Lynn,
I'm sure DS will be fine. I remember my kids doing that a few times too and it was really scary. But as was already said, if he isnt vomiting, extra tired or dialated eyes, do worries!! Thank goodness we have a thick skull.
pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: for you and DS.

This is #6 post for me. :thumbsup2

Name tags would be nice, maybe put names on them before the meet to save time writing there. we only have about 65 minutes til we need to zip to our rooms for the 4 p.m. safety drill.

Kathy :wave:

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Lynn, that was suppose to say NO worries not do worries!!


My first was only a few weeks old and she slid out of the back of the stroller onto concrete steps on her head. I thought I would die. grabbed her and ran for home and then noticed she wasnt crying anymore just cooing and smiling as if nothing had happened. I looked and not even a bruise!!
Kids are tough!!

Bob: I love your latest door sign. Can you create a book of door signs???!!!

Hmmm...describe what you mean by "book of door signs".

Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out, too! I researched all that stuff so long ago, I've forgotten the details!

Cheri

[jd99]

So the continuing saga of Miss Emily is that yes, indeed she does have yet another ear infection *sigh* but the good news part of that is that the drugs will fix it pretty quickly maybe even before we fly but likely before we are boarding the ship. She needs some good sea air, some play time in Flounders and a more relaxed mommy, daddy and big sister. Hey - the cruise will cure all of that! :goodvibes

[pgfour]

Bob -- great door signs! :worship: :worship: Perhaps I'll go shred mine in shame! :rotfl: :rotfl:

I have to go get a new color cartridge for my printer. The one DH brought from the office is used (and faulty) unless I want everything purple and black!! Wonder which of our office wizards put it back in its box as if it hadn't been opened??? :furious:

[pgfour]

pixiedust: pixiedust: for Emily! :grouphug: for Lynn's grandma & Okie's mom. Hope I'm not missing anyone.

Oh -- :grouphug: for anyone not wise enough to post a lot today -- Kathy's whip could hurt!!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Cheri

[pgfour]

So it looks like I'll have to make a last-minute run to town -- printer cartridge for door signs.

Also have to go buy booze for Turkey Day. I know, you're all shocked that I don't have a huge stash here at home for "emergencies"!! :lmao: :lmao:

Hi Snoopy Mom! :wave2:

Jeff -- I went back into my old subscribed threads -- it sounds like you tell the concierge at the Hyatt that you're taking the DCL bus in the morning, and they'll get you on the list. Then in the morning, one member of the family goes down to get the actual pass/time. Luggage is placed outside the room door around 8:00-8:30 and they load it for you.

It sounds like we do this when we check in. But maybe a call to the concierge is in order ahead of time? :confused3 Let me know if you call, and what they say. Otherwise, I'll try calling later today or early tomorrow.

Cheri

[woogal]

Well let's see ... Kathy said talk about anything ...

My nephew (my sister's oldest) got home last night from college (he goes to Wesleyan in CT) with his new girlfriend, who we call Columbia (I have no idea yet what her name is). This will be girlfriend number 2 from South America. He refuses to date American girls, says they're all "ugly" ("except for you, Aunt Shell" :teeth: ). So we're meeting my sister and her family plus Columbia tonight for dinner at a great local italian restaurant, the kind of place where you know it's family owned and authentic. I'm thinking veal and oil & garlic pasta are calling my name ....

I just did a search myself and found a few threads that indicated just this. It doesn't seem like an advance call is necessary - that you'd just do it when you check in -- so I don't plan on doing so. If you do, let me know what you find out.

[jd99]

Ok I think I better get to work now. I want to get some things done so I dont' have to work too much on the ship. Sarah- I wanted to tell you that I used my laptop and wireless on the last cruise I was on and it worked flawlessly. I bought a package and the minutes added up fast, so just tell your DH to be careful about his time online. Do things offline and then cut and paste into emails to save a few bucks and not worry about counting the minutes. I made the mistake of not doing that and ended up having to buy a second package of minutes!

Just found out last night that Thanksgiving at DH's sister's will be our family, her family, and just a bunch of their friends who have nowhere else to go. Dh's other sister is heading down to visit their brother in Tennessee for the holiday. So much for a "family get together."

Oh well, we'll bring our booze, drink it, eat, and hustle outta there -- gotta pack (sounds like a good excuse!)

We may buy the unlimited package (unless the cost is completely outrageous) so we can check our work emails. Hate to do it, but both of our assistants are a bit green and I don't want to come back to nightmares.

Speaking of such -- better get back at it and put out any fires!

There is no unlimited package for wireless, unfortunately...

I think we would just use the computers they have in the Internet Cafe. We did that last time on the Wonder. Is that still an option on the Magic?

I don't really feel like hauling a laptop with us.

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Jeff,
That might of got you to 10, but as I recall this morning you were so speedy today that I rewarded by upping your quota to 15!!
You thought I forgot huh!!! No Way!!!!
5 more by bedtime :thumbsup2

Yes it is. I unfortunately have to take my laptop to be able to access files...
We'll just email the peons (I mean assistants) and tell them what to do! (I don't want to HAVE to process changes! It is vacation and I have to draw the line somewhere!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: )

Hopefully they'll be able to handle 80% of the stuff with a bit of direction from us.

[pgfour]

81 posts (82 counting this one) so far today!!!!

We are a very goal-oriented group of people!! (Or are we driven by fear of the whip?????)

[jd99]

Cheri - a question for you. The picture of you on the cruisemates list. Are you by chance on Maui in that picture? It sure looks like it...

[woogal]

Don't think I'll call unless I have a bunch of free time tomorrow. :rotfl:
... and you're sober ...

[JanDave]

Hi Snoopy Mom! :wave2:

Jeff -- I went back into my old subscribed threads -- it sounds like you tell the concierge at the Hyatt that you're taking the DCL bus in the morning, and they'll get you on the list. Then in the morning, one member of the family goes down to get the actual pass/time. Luggage is placed outside the room door around 8:00-8:30 and they load it for you.

It sounds like we do this when we check in. But maybe a call to the concierge is in order ahead of time? :confused3 Let me know if you call, and what they say. Otherwise, I'll try calling later today or early tomorrow.

Cheri

Jeff: I was at the MCO Hyatt last year and told the person who checked us in that we were taking DCL transporation. I was given info at that time.

Shell,
tell Mutt I have a whip with his name on it if he doesnt start posting soon!!!NO MERCY!!!! NO EXCUSES!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! I bite too!!! :rolleyes1
:rotfl2: Unfortunately, he mentioned when he left the house this morning that he has an incredibly busy day, so he probably won't be posting. I usually hear from him at some point during the day, but not today. I'll see about getting him on tonight.

[disneediva]

Ummm you people at work HOW are you postin this much??????
Shell,2hours 13 minutes and I am out of here :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[woogal]

Ummm you people at work HOW are you postin this much??????
Easy. We're not saving people's lives, we're spending other people's money (in one way or another)!

[GordonE]

I'm at work, so will quickly have to post before my boss catches me. :sad2:

I guess I should start packing tonight, since I catch a plane early tomorrow morning to Orlando. The rest of my family is basically packed. Maybe its because I'm a guy and don't really worry too much about packing or I do it often enough for work that traveling is no big deal.

We are spending Friday at the parks before meeting all you fine people on Sat. Safe traveling wishes to all!

[firemans wife]

Hi all, I have an excuse for not posting. I took the girls to the dentist and did some last minute shopping.

Kathy please don't get out that whip :rotfl:

Jeff sorry to hear about Emily, I hope she feels better soon!!


Lynn I am sure DS will be fine. My kids have had their share of bumps on the head. The first time is always scary.
Heres a question for all of you. Has any one ever seen dolphins swimming or jumping a long side the ship? I had a dream last night that we were watching dolphins jump right along side of the ship.

We leave tomorrow at 7:00. We will have dinner in Down TOwn Disney. Friday we will be at Magic Kingom princess: Have'nt decided if we will park hop yet.

Looking forward to meeting you all on Saturday. :thumbsup2

I will try to post more later.

Ok Kathy...put the whip down, I'm back from running errands!

Finally got my nails done :thumbsup2

Kelly

[dkmjgal]

So the continuing saga of Miss Emily is that yes, indeed she does have yet another ear infection *sigh* but the good news part of that is that the drugs will fix it pretty quickly maybe even before we fly but likely before we are boarding the ship. She needs some good sea air, some play time in Flounders and a more relaxed mommy, daddy and big sister. Hey - the cruise will cure all of that! :goodvibes

More pixie dust coming your way pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust:
I just picked up the "just in case" prescription that the Dr. called in on Monday. He said not to use it unless John's ears get messed up on the plane because of his congestion. The "just in case" cost $60!!!!!! Oh well...I still hope we don't have to use it.

Hi Disneystyle and welcome to the group....

I fell like this day will never end, so I can start my vacation

[TIGGER41681]

I just did a search myself and found a few threads that indicated just this. It doesn't seem like an advance call is necessary - that you'd just do it when you check in -- so I don't plan on doing so. If you do, let me know what you find out.


Jeff and Cheri,
Called Hyatt and what they told me is that we need to check in at quarter past 8 on Saturday morning to get on the 1st bus out to the port. Our luggage has to be put outside the room and they will get it on the DCL bus. Hope this helps.

[TIGGER41681]

Jeff,
Hope DD Emily feels better!!! This is for your little Princess princess: princess: pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust:

Yes on our 1st cruise we were eating breakfast outside and they were jumping and swimming near the back of the ship. It was amazing because I love dolphins!! You will also see them jumping in a distance sometimes too.

My bosses are holding me hostage and not letting me leave work. Completely unfair. As long as I get to my nail appointment tonight, I will be fine.

See ya all really soon.

[disneystyle]

Thanks Kathy for the 411.. My name is Debbie and we live in Destin, Fl.

We are getting up really early tomorrow morning to make it to my parents house in Orlando for Turkey dinner.. although we live in Florida it is still a 6 to seven hour drive.. :hourglass

to disneydeeva (sp.?) from New Orleans.... all of my husbands family is flying in Friday from Baton Rouge.....I'll miss having red beans and rice with our turkey while in the big O for Thanksgiving. Something tells me I'll live since I get to indulge in fabulous soups, risottos, souffles and mickey bars for the next week. :woohoo:

[dkmjgal]

Just stopping in really quick to say hello again...ya know...gotta keep my posts going...don't want to make anyone :furious:

Welcome disneystyle...I'm Kelly and I'm traveling with DH, my DD(11) and my DS(8).

I'll be back soon. I'm helping the kids with their mountain of homework that was sent home. I'm hoping to get as much done as possible before we leave on Friday morning. Hey..maybe I'll introduce the kids to the ol' college all-nighter! :rotfl:

Kelly

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Debbie,
Thanks it is good to know your name. I remember seeing you on another post the other day. At least I think it was you.

Lorna :wave2:

Lorna - thanks for the kind thoughts. We are getting immune to this stuff (even though Emmy isn't) If it's Wednesday, it must be an ear infection. Even she doesnt' even really complain about it much - says it feels "funny."

But on to your dolphin question. On our Aug. 12 cruise we were sitting in Topsiders having breakfast when someone shouted to look outside. We were right at the window and saw a BUNCH of dolphins (a pod?) swimming alongside the ship, jumping in and out of the water...just like the movies. It was so much fun. I don't remember where we were but I'm thinking it was a day at sea between Cozumel and Castaway Cay.

I think once we find out what is happening in the summer of 2008, we'll make a decision on this. If it's not to our liking, we may be back next fall - this time for a Turkey Day sailing I would suspect.

Howdy all,
Lorna, since you mentioned Planet Hollywood, I am assuming you are thinking about eating at downtown Disney. Rainforest cafe is there too with pretty good food. If you like seafood and dont mind paying a little more Fultons Crab House or Captain Jacks are both there with excellant food.
My husband likes a small place called Bongos with cuban style food on the west side of downtown disney.
Wolfgang Puck also has a place on the west side, but have never eaten
there.
Chef Mickey's is a very good character dinner at the Contemporary resort too.

I am afraid WDW is very busy around Thanksgiving and reservations are very hard to get sometimes, Good luck!!

Hi: Just read on the main DCL board that a cruiser sailing on the 12/3 Wonder got an upgrade today. They were in a Cat.6 and got upgraded to a Cat. 3. I can't believe DCL is not giving complementary upgrades on our cruise. Can't believe they'd skip over us DISers!!! Although, first cruise we were on, a 3 day land, 4 day Magic, we got a complementary upgrade to the Polynesian. Nice.


Busy prepping for tomorrow's lunch.

Have a safe trip/flight for all of you leaving tonight and tomorrow.

Jan

[J and C's Dad]

Hope everyone has a safe and relaxing trip .... ( relaxing :rotfl: )
I will not be able to relax until I step off the plane in Florida, but I

Just got back from dinner with my sister and family ... had a wonderful time as always ... lots of laughs. Nephew's new girlfriend is very cute, smart and nice. She's majoring in molecular biology, so that certainly takes brains, huh?

I'm beat ... got my brother's dog for the night and she's all energy (and she hangs on me constantly!) so I guess I'll get back to entertaining my "guest" :dogdance: (and reminding Guido that he's still the #1 dog in the house :sad2: )

[woogal]

In honor of Thanksgiving and for my fellow Christmas Story afficienados:

The heavenly aroma still hung in the house. But it was gone, all gone! No turkey! No turkey sandwiches! No turkey salad! No turkey gravy! Turkey Hash! Turkey A La King! Or gallons of turkey soup! Gone, ALL GONE!

[DutchsMommy]

Hello Friends, and Welcome to those joining us!

What a day from heck!!! Yesterday was so slow at work and today it was just CRAZY. Anyway, at least it is over now. I have been going like crazy since I got home (and just spent 20 mins reading the 5 pages from this morning!!!). I think we are *almost* all packed. DH just needs to check if we have all his clothes, and then we need to pack up toiletries etc. We have 1 big suitcase, 1 medium, 2 garment bags, a carry on suitcase, a carry on computer bag (DH is bringing the laptop) and Dutch's carseat. We are a porters wet dream :teeth: .

I still have to do Dutch's pillowcase tonight, but I feel like an expert now ;) so I don't think it will take long. The towncar is picking us up tomorrow morning at 7am and we'll be at the Residence Inn by hopefully 2 or 3pm.

My goodness-forsaken %^^&*$ pirate costume is a final no-show :guilty: which is a total bummer as Stony has his and Dutch is all set too. I left the lady one last nasty e-mail telling her where we are staying in Cocoa Beach (she is in St Petersburgh). I am hoping she overnights something, but am not holding my breath. Once I get back I will demand a refund. What a pain in the rump!!!

Anyway - this will likely be my last post. Can't wait to meet all the :banana: :banana: and I hope you all have a fabulous Turkey Day!!!

:grouphug: Sarah

[mom x4,grandma x4]

I must admit i am amazed at how many posts we managed to do today.
Now if we can manage 96 more tomarrow maybe a couple early friday we may make it ok.
But dont relax yet!!!

I know a lot of you will still be on line through tomarrow and I expect to hear from each and everyone of you a few times. Not during your wonderful family meals, but when you get up and perhaps after you get home or your company leaves you can check in and just before bed. With all of that we may make it.
If your not sure what to say, just post what you had for dinner and dessert!!!

Night all

Hello everyone!!!!! Have a Happy Thanksgiving. We can't wait to meet you all in person. Safe trip to all and we'll see you on the ship!!!

Andy, Danielle, Hailey & Jared

[jd99]

Wow!! You're good! You are correct -- we were in Wailea - somewhere between The Four Seasons and the Marriott (which had a great happy hour!!!). Picture was taken in May of this year. :thumbsup2

It's my favorite place on earth. We have stayed at the Four Seasons and at the Hyatt Kaanapali as well as the (now somewhat down in the mouth) Royal Lahaina. Went there for our honeymoon and can't get enough even with the LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG plane ride. It's worth it.

[disneediva]

Sarah, have a safe trip we will see you Saturday :goodvibes

[Dixielady908]

Sarah have a safe trip....sorry to hear about your pirate costume. That is a real bummer.

Sarah, I know it's a total bummer, but if not getting your pirate costume is the worse thing that happens, then I think you're doing pretty good. But that lady is lucky she's not dealing with me!

HAVE A SAFE TRIP!!! See you Saturday with bells on (or at least a tiara)!!! Here, have a banana for the road:

Good Night All

[J&C's Mom]

Well, my last day of work was one of the worst one's I have had in a while. One of my patient's had chest pain-the look of pure terror was on his face which scarred me a little too...sick people sometimes have a 6th sense about themselves even if medicine doesn't.......he ended up being o.k. :goodvibes

My 12 hour day ended up being 14 hours-without lunch or dinner :furious:
This will make me appreciate our cruise even more :cheer2: :banana:

Well, took my DH (J&C's dad) forever to start posting, but better late than never. Maybe we can add him to the Dreamboat Wally singing group :rotfl2:

Bob: great door sign :thumbsup2 We haven't done one...yet?

Need to go bed now...I'm exhausted :faint:

will post more tomorrow--don't want the whip..

Okie :)

In honor of Thanksgiving and for my fellow Christmas Story afficienados:

The heavenly aroma still hung in the house. But it was gone, all gone! No turkey! No turkey sandwiches! No turkey salad! No turkey gravy! Turkey Hash! Turkey A La King! Or gallons of turkey soup! Gone, ALL GONE!

We stayed at The Four Seasons for a company incentive trip. It was absolutely wonderful! We also spent a few days up in Kaanapali/Lahaina at a studio condo -- had to extend the stay!!! :thumbsup2

We were just talking about going back there the other night. Guess I better work a little harder so we can afford it! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[pgfour]

Sarah -- hope you have a safe trip. Can't wait to meet you Saturday, eh!!!

I would make sure you also give some negative feedback on E-Bay about the seller of your costume (I think you said it was from E-Bay. . .). Don't want someone else to get suckered into the same situation. I can't believe it didn't arrive.

Going to call it a night. Just have to throw last minute things in our suitcases and CAREFULLY pack the dresses/formal wear so they don't wrinkle too much.

Talk to many of you tomorrow!

You set the goal for 6000, so we expect you to post a few times before and after dinner!!! :cheer2:

[TIGGER41681]

Hey All :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: ,
Today is DS 1st Turkey Day!! We are going to my in-laws today for Turkey. Well going to make Cinnomon Buns for breakfast. Talk to you before I leave :wave: :wave: :wave: !!

[mom x4,grandma x4]

The weather is getting alittle warmer here today. They are still predicting 77 for saturday afternoon with 20% chance of rain. That's not too bad. Usually we dont get any rain at 20%. So hopefully we will still have the sail away party outside!!!!


Anybody watch the parade today???
I like the floats and bands but I hate the first hour of dancers and singers. To me that is not what a parade is about with broadway style dancing.
For me a parade should be floats, marching bands, balloons, clowns and such.


Kathy :wave:

[cruisemutt]

Mornin everyone....Happy Thanksgiving!
Has anyone ever had one of those "fidgity" kids that just sits and bounces around before a vacation. I have one of those, now. I'm hoping the triptophan in the turkey will sedate her until we leave tomorrow morning. If not, I may have to rock her to sleep...(oh, stop worrying, I'll use a little rock).

Again to all of our new friends and extended families-----

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! We all have a lot to be thankful for....
I have to go make the banana stuffing for the turkey....http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/woogal/ThanksGHappyThanksgiving.gif :banana:

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Ok, we now need 68 posts to make it!!

I got us off to a good start this morning. I know it is akward with it being Thanksgiving, but please try. If everyone who is left can post 5 times today,we will make it!!! :thumbsup2


For those who are leaving today, have a safe journey and we will see you on saturday, or if your staying at the Radisson we may meet sooner :goodvibes

I will be checking back on and off all day since we are home and have NO company this year.

Pat, Steve, hope one of you will be checking in too!!! I know your not leaving today.

It feels like a party: everyday.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Only two days until we sail. I have one daughter that is so excited that I couldn't get her to bed last night and she's already up this morning. She's bouncing on the bed, off the walls, and everywhere else with excitement. My other children are a little more sedate, but not much.

Well, this is my last post before sailing. We leave in 2 hours for the airport; our flight to Orlando is in 5.5 hours. We will see all you nice people on Sat. You will recognize the group I'm with by our bright baby blue tees with Gold Family Reunion on the back.

Bye!
Gordon

[mom x4,grandma x4]

Is everyone ready to go? I can honestly say that we couldn't be more prepared (Knock-on-wood). It's very miserible outside today. If you notice on the weather channel in Pa, you will see a gigantic storm that just passed over us. Still more coming, yay... :sad1: At least we haven't gotten :sick:

That's great the Drew crawled, it will just seem like a few days and he will be running around the house. Of course first he will start pulling himself up to a standing position and then falling down and getting black and blue marks everywhere.


Rick it sounds like it is a good thing you are cooking today. Do the kids help?? Or is it better that only you cook :lmao:

I am waiting to see the parade too. Greg is even taking Minnie for a walk so I wont miss it. I sure hope the balloons are ok to fly. It wont seem the same without them.

I'm off to put up Christmas lights. It's way too nice here today to miss the opportunity no matter how early it is.

This is a 3-layer french vanilla cake with pumpkin mousse in between the layers. Surrounding it are white and milk chocolate molded cups filled with pumpkin mousse. The stem is carved from combined milk and white chocolates and air-brushed with food coloring. Not too shabby, huh? Think maybe we might have a winning business here? :cool1:

[mom x4,grandma x4]

only 30 more posts and we've got it made!!! :thumbsup2

we are all packed accept for toothbrushes.

Minnie is getting very suspicious since she saw the luggage in the bedroom. I think she remembers the last time we left her. :sad2:

Jeff,
Good luck with the Christmas lights. Boy you have a lot of ambition. I am too lazy to do all that work today. We love Christmas Vacation too!!

Well back to the parade, I will check back later.
Hope to see a few more posts when I return. :surfweb:

HEY OKIE! I'm here...this is probably the last post I'll do before tomorrow. We are also leaving tomorrow morning at 6:45 and will pass Boomers around 7! Headed to Renaissance so tomorrow night, we'll be looking for Dissers.

The past couple of times we've flown the kids really complained about their ears hurting. So, I bought some of the earplanes to see if they help. If any little one is battling ear troubles, it may help them. It can be uncomfortable sometimes.

I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels to the Magic. We're looking forward to meeting everyone and spending a wonderful week at sea with all of you. We're off to have our Bird now. Happy trails!

Rick,
sounds like your all set. You will be easy to spot with a cam corder glued to your head :lmao:
Josh,
Our house is not like an oven yet. but now that the turkey is cooking it wont take long to heat up.

I am watching Shrek right now, I will probably watch Shrek 2 after the first one is over.
Wii check back soon,
