Jenn


Do you want it in your siggie or just in one post. If you want it in the siggie just open your edit signature and add it there .

They have to be on a photo hosting site then just click on the insert an image icon put in the url and then hit the image icon again.


Squid

[BrickChick]

Thanks Squid! I thought maybe that was the problem :scratchin

I have been meaning to look up a hosting site and have finally gotten off my rear and done so!

Now the only glitch is that I need to post a certain number of times before I can add pictures!

I guess I just can't win... :rolleyes: :tongue:
Jenn

[BrickChick]

hmmm... :scratchin I wonder what the magic number of posts is??

Jenn

[BrickChick]

Ahhh! Looks like it was TEN!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Here's my picture!!

It's of my front yard today...I've been looking out my home office window at it all day and I'd rather be ON THE CRUISE!!! :cool1:

OMG, I'm getting so incredibly excited! I have so much to do this week, I'm shipping down a box filled with our diapers, wipes, baby food, and other baby items that we don't feel like dragging on the plane from Wash, DC. My DD is getting much better at eating table food, but I'm not so confident in that to not bring a ton of baby food just in case!

We have so much to do! I am going to start putting our warm-ish weather clothing on the guest bed to decide what to bring, at least I know we won't be needing them for the rest of the week here.

I just can't believe it's coming up so soon, I just can't wait!!!!!!!

[disneylover5]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS] on the plane from Wash, DC. FONT]

We live in Centreville VA. Are you downtown DC?

[Fawn]

You are so smart to ship that stuff down! Carrying baby stuff requires an army of adults!

I am so excited, too!! I have my one daughter's Sweet 16 party this Saturday, so I'm up to my eyeballs in dresses, heels and tiaras! LOL Haven't been able to spend as much time fixating on cruise as normal...or getting ready for it.

I'm in a little bit of a panic, but I know it will all get done in time. We leave next Thursday AM, and come H - E - Double Hockeysticks I will be on that plane!!! :banana:

[disneylady]

My daughter just turned eleven and would probably love to exchange emails prior to the cruise. She's always wanting to use the computer, but I don't give in often. There's a dangerous cyber world out there! But in this case, I think it would be cool. Her name is Elyssa.

[disneylover5]

Disneylady,
I have sent you a PM with my girls e-mails. You may want to show your daughter Annie and Gretchen's pictures. For the rest of us.....Castaway Cay is only a few days away!!

ps where are you in VA, we are in Northern VA Centreville and so is Melsmom12.

[ddavis860]

Just a reminder. Still trying to get a pre-count for our Bday/Un-Bday party. Anyone else planning to attend?

[dobelover]

Morning All - Deb, there are 6 of us for the bday/un-bday. I can't remember if I told you.





Sue

[Fawn]

We'll come to the party. I forget which day, tho! :confused3 There will be 2 or 4 of us.

[kmc33]

Our flight leaves one week from today!! :cool1:
I am really getting excited!!!
:bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc

We are celebrating DH's 40th birthday this weekend -- and watching the playoff games...

~~~~~ GO STEELERS!!!! ~~~~~

After the weekend I can really focus to finish packing!!!

Hope everyone has smooth travels to the port!

[dobelover]

HI ALL! Fawn - lunch in Lumieres at 12:05 on Monday Jan 30.



I say GO STEELERS and PANTHERS!!!!!!!





Sue

[BrickChick]

Hey disneylover5!

I just have to ask...Did your girls have their hair braided on the ship or elsewhere?? If it's not too impolite may I ask how much it cost? I was thinking of braiding my DD's hair like that before we go (it's so much easier to care for when done that way!) But I won't do as nice of a job as that :earboy2: Would love to know any details you can share!

Thanks!
Jenn

We do it on the ship. It is the first thing we sign up for. I think we sign up by the Walt Disney Theatre @ 5pm right after the lifeboat drill, if I remember correctly. It will be in the Navigator as soon as you get on board. We do it as early in the trip as possible....so they can enjoy it. (remember to bring spray suntan stuff for the head where the braids expose the skin). I think I pay $20 for each girl and give a $5 tip. They charge by the braid,if I remember correctly. Gretchen is thinking of having her whole head done this time...

[BrickChick]

PERFECT! :Pinkbounc One less thing I have to do before we leave! yay!
Thanks Lisa!

I just realized that the next "Live Trip Report" from a western cruise will be ours...WAY COOL!!!! :thumbsup2 :woohoo:

I LOVE these new smilies... :eeyore:

[GSCM_DisneyScout]

DH is a procrastinator. Just when I thought we had finally determined which shore excursions we wanted to go on and I was able to sit down and try to get him to help me acutally make the reservations...there aren't any spaces left on any of the excursions we had been thinking about. :eek:

So, I'm trying to think outside the box. I've been checking around and there is a pirate cruise (Jolly Roger) that departs from Georgetown Harbor. Has anyone else taken this crusie? The online schedule doesn't have any crusies listed for Tuesdays, but they also say they have a seperate cruise ship passenger schedule, so I'm looking into that.

Any other thoughts outside the box others may have already had? I'm all ears. :dumbo:

Kim

[GSCM_DisneyScout]

Forgot to mention, we're looking for things we can do with DD3, DD6, and DD10.

[fireplug]

Leavin in an hour for Midway airport. 6 days at WDW staying in a 1 br at OKW Then our 7 day cruise on the Disney Magic. I will post pics and trip report. See you all there.

Oh Kim, that stinks! I'm not going to be much help, all my planning has been with teens in mind. You could try Cruisecritic.com and see if they have any ideas you might be able to pick up on in the 'ports of call' boards. They may be more "outside the box" than the DIS boards when it comes to excursions on your own. That is where I got the name of Native Way that we are using for Grand Cayman. Just a thought...and sending some pixiedust:

[Indea88]

Hi Kim! I reserved 3 or 4 excursions on line then changed them all to 3 or 4 outside the box trips! My DH was going to go alone in Cayman on the Black Princess to fish for the day but when I saw the size of the boat now were going too, bringing the toddler Oh Boy :Pinkbounc The Captain said he could more than accommadate the children Here goes :yo-yo: The other trip I scheduled was with shoretrips.com in Nassau my 11 yr old DS wanted to swim with the dolphins and I couldnt get a swim with DCL or Dolphin encounter but I was able to book for 1:30 with shoretrips. I just hope that things will be okay.Ive heard great things about Capt. Marvin in Cayman and Nativeway too!!

[GSCM_DisneyScout]

Is there somewhere on our cruise docs that indicates what dining rotation we have? How do I find out in advance?

In our group of 60 we had a lot like this as well. I got a very nice CM on the phone and she said try www.shoretrips.com

Lots have done this and everyone has gotten the excursions they wanted (including dolphins)

ps. loved the Accuweather forecast!! awesome!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[GSCM_DisneyScout]

Morning All,

We went to Kohl's last night, too. Bought a black skirt for me, a white piratey shirt for DD10, a suit for DS6 (he looks SO handsome), big hoop earrings for me and DD10, a white skirt for DD3, and some jewelry with small coins hanging from it. We're set for pirate night. Luckily we had some stuff at home, so we didn't have to spend too much $$. Of course DH still thinks we spent too much $$, but we did buy DS6 two suits, one to fit him now and one for in a year or two.

My dad is loaning one of his expandable suit cases to us to use for the cruise. He also loaned us his camera to make sure we took pictures. Tomorrow we're going to get into that Disney feeling when we see Beauty & The Beast on stage.

It doesn't look like DD3 is going to be potty trained before the cruise. Sometimes she's real good. Other times she just doesn't care how wet she is. I just hope she isn't bored in the nursery. The pictures I've seen look like it's mainly for babies.

I guess I should go to work now. :rolleyes1

[skybuffalo]

While I was traveling on business this weekend, the DW found a swimsuit that she actually liked and a dress combination that looks great on her. It is fun to see her get so excited about going.

The rest of the family, from Alaska, are already at Disney World and will meet us on the ship. I would imagine that the grandkids are expending a lot of energy.

See you all later. Ron

[mousefamily]

Does anyone know what time we are leaving Key West? I thought it was 7:30, but reading the reports from the 1/14 cruise, they stayed until 1:30 am.

5 days, but who's counting???

Went to Wal-mart to buy red sashes. Ended up with LOTS of other stuff. I bought lime green shirts for us all to wear the first day of the cruise. I'm getting so excited. :Pinkbounc I tried on all the pieces to my pirate costume this evening and it looks pretty good. pirate: Who says you can't get a costume outside of Halloween? The great part is almost all of it can be reused in day to day wear.

We're leaving Friday morning! :woohoo:

See you guys in (count 'em) FIVE days! :woohoo: :woohoo:

I'm not going to even think about the fact I haven't started packing yet. The clothes are in the wash. One step at a time. :cool1:

GREAT idea Kim about the Walmart Lime green T-Shirts! I may just pick some up in Orlando for our group!! I never even thought of that! :thumbsup2

I totally forgot that I had to shorten DS's pants and so am scrambling to get them done before lunch :eek: I had already packed them and forgotten completely about them! I even had the pins on! OOPS! :blush:

We leave Friday morning.

DD3 has a doctor's appointment at 4:00 pm today. She came to me last night and asked if she could go to the doctor because her ear hurt. :scared1: Not a good thing to hear right before we're going on vacation. :guilty:

Well, er ummmm... I was packed, so I thought....

Have to unpack and repack... I forgot the formal and semi formal nights, so that is 2 less outfits I need in that suitcase... Also packed too many to begin with, just because we are going to be gone 10 days, I only need 8 nights minus 2 of casual dress clothes for dinner... The other days we will be in WDW and they don't have a dress code... :lmao: so off I go to unpack and repack.. See what happens when you pack at 11:30 at night.... :surfweb:

[disneylover5]

We just arrived at Animal Kingdom Lodge. It is beautiful. The stars are out and it is supposed to be nice tomorrow!
See you soon!

DW & I flying down tomorrow (Sat) early, early. I know it's a bit of a rush trying to get it all together -- work schedules kinda made the decision for us. Can't wait to stretch out and relax. Soon to catch up with everyone already @ WDW or Port Canaveral -- back to counting socks for my suitcase. DCL here we Come!

[GSCM_DisneyScout]

Hey Everyone

We're back, we're unpacked, we're almost done laundry!!!

We had such a great time! After 8 cruises, I have to say I still don't know how Disney does it. Each one is better than the one before!!

Can't wait for next year already! Anyone else booked yet?

[disneylover5]

We have booked for Nov 4th 2006, Western. About 40 of us so far!!

We drove back to DC last night. We pulled into the garage at 9:55pm. Because so many flights were delayed with the bad weather up and down the East Coast, we beat home several of our friends who flew home!!

Can't wait to go back,
Lisa

We're booked for the same week next year and we've added to the size of our party. This time we were 5 cruisers, next time will be 3-6 new Disney Cruisers. :Pinkbounc

[ddavis860]

We're back too. Have mountains of laundry to do...

DH and I were talking about how we can get back on that shippy poo on the ride home. I told him I didn't think that I could wait another 2 years. I'm thinking we have to figure something else out...

I got a huge hug from DS13 (ooops, 14 today). He said that was the best cruise he has ever had. We all agreed, it really was a wonderful time...

[BrickChick]

We're back too! Got in Sunday night at 3AM!! Boy are we tired!!

Booked our next cruise for March 10, 2007 Western.

...I'm not sure I can wait that long!

Great seeing you all!! :wave2:

[pfishgirl]

We are back !!!!!! :guilty:

It was so nice to meet and talk to some of you.. Sorry I couldn't stay for the whole un-Birthday Lunch...

We didn't reserve another cruise because a little birdie told us about a possible summertime special cruise to Italy/Europe... :woohoo:

soo Anyone want to do my laundry ?? :rolleyes1

[fireplug]

We are back too. Sorry it took so long to check in but I had to get back to workl so I had free time to computerize. We hit the ground running as soon as we got home man were we busy. ANYWAY we had a great time and enjoyed meeting those we met hope to get together with you all for another cruise some day. Our next one is the DVC members cruise in Oct. of this year. 2007 may be a little scarce on WDW or DCL we are traveling the western states, Yellowstone , Mt. Rushmore etc.

Hope to stay in touch with our new friends here too.

Kim is right the pirate show was different but if I tell you it will spoil your surprise. Just go to the party and keep one eye towards the front funnel.

Here are a few pics from our trip I can post more if they arent too boring for you all
