December 15, 2012 A Yo-HO-HO-HO Holiday Fantasy!

[AmandaRG]

Still recovering from my weekend away...and then I broke a tooth yesterday! Thankfully I can type without having to talk! Tooth is repaired, but my jaw and mouth are soooooo sore. Soup for me today.

I'm hoping that info is released on San Juan in the next month or two. I keep checking back. We just chill onboard on the Bahamas cruises, but I definitely want to check out the ports on this cruise!

We did a tequila tasting on the Dream and it was really interesting. I'm thinking of checking out others on upcoming cruises.

I can make ADRs tomorrow for our fall trip. I have to see about finalizing what we want to do!

Oh La La would be great for a pink champagne party for the wives. I've been to one onboard and it was hilarious! All the girls wear their loudest pink outfits/shirts and tiaras and it was a lot of fun and crazy. Someone (not me,) arranged a wine tasting as we got to taste some Disney exclusive wines for $5 for sippers and $20 for full drinkers.

Skyline is a posh lounge that might work well too for the hens.

The lounges are smaller with more of them.

O'gill's is a bit small if we have a large crowd. LaPiazza or the Tube would fit a larger crowd.

What's a toaster?

The Wives here are affectionately known as the Hen's Club. I'll be sending out a secret message on the toasters tomorrow at noon.
Our goal is to steal all television remotes and make them ours (or so the men think)
Really- we just want to relax on the cruise and not have to do any dishes!
We'll be planning some Hen's Club activities.

So far we are planning a joint Men's Club Hen's Club outing at O'Gills



That would be neat to attend.
I can join you on the first verse of "me n mylel" (no clue how to spell it, but my bff taught me this and I taught her Christmas carols growing up)

Nemo,

You can have the shoes. They are all yours. You'd look great in the cream heels from our wedding.

I'll even GIVE you a purse to match.

Remember ladies, we know how much you prize your shoe/ purse collection....

Any possibility of everyone on this cruise meet thread posting a picture of themselves or their family prior to cruise time? I would love to be able to recognize people and say "hi" on board - even if we don't all make it to any of the official cruise meet activities on board.

Any thoughts?

No clue how to post pics here, plus it's a public forum. (no pics of dd10 allowed to be posted anywhere on pain of death- on her orders- don't you love that age!)

We start spring break on Friday so if you do not see me--know I am doing spring cleaning and semi-annual furniture rearranging.

Am I the only crazy person that has a summer and winter layout for warm/cool months?
Is it because:

A- really I just do a deep clean and have figured out the alternate layout so I don't have to move the furniture back after I clean under it.

B- The television gets a glare in the summer so we have to move it to be able to watch it

C- all of the above

D- None of the above

Hahahahahahahahahahah, Hohohohohohohohohooh, Hehehehehehehehe, ya'll sure are funny DisneyDee27. I held up a pair of DW's pantyhose, First place it took me forever to find a pair - seems SHE doesn't even wear them any more!!! But I did find a pair - held them up....................and.........well a pair of those wouldn't even fit ONE of my legs..........let alone both of them!!! Bobby pins???? Oh yes I remember those.............couldn't find any of those things either!!!! But thanks DisneyDee27 for the kind thoughts. DW is almost back to normal. She still LOOKS like a prize fighter but she is getting better with each passing day.

Y'all have been doing a great job of keeping things going.

My daughter and I are so looking forward to this Cruise on the Fantasy.
We spent a Spring Break week at Animal Kingdom Lodge at the beginning of the month. It was fabulous.

Cruisng is so much more relaxing.

This will be my daughters 5th Disney cruise and my 3rd.

You may hear more from me now that the Fantasy has started cruising. Looking forward to getting to know you.

Ciao!

Welcome back into the mix MerMade!!! Say there, ya'll aren't planning on joining that horrible Hen Peckers Club are you??? They have been so mean to all of the nice gentlemen here on the DIS Board. They are making plans to tear down that wonderful, helpful,(they help little ol' ladies cross the street), that kind of helpful, do good organization of the Official Worldwide Man's Club. Why, there was a time when I personally saw my DW...........I mean DH.............take the hand of this wonderful lady at a traffic light to help her cross the street. She was unsure if they should cross the street at that time...........and the nerve of that old lady.............she started to beat my DH about the head and body with this HUGHpurse..........I mean that thing was so big it was all she could do to carry it. (I think she had it filled with nuts and bolts..........it hurt so bad!!!) Well he ran as fast as he could but that lady........ha lady........caught up with him.............I think she use to be a professional runner.............and she slapped him around some more, before he finally got away.

So MerMade you can see, the Official Worldwide Man's Cub is a good club for men and for the world........and all of mankind!!! (By the way, this is David's DW typing this post.........I'm.........I am using his login...........just so ya'll know.) Sooooooooooooo.........ladies........gals......... ....uhhhhhhhhhh..........we still meeting at the.............where is it..............the Atrium.........by the pieano??? I'll be there!!!

E - Trying to work Kevin way too hard moving all that furniture (I'm sticking up for you boss!!!)

[Happy Goofy]

Someone mentioned the Champagne Girls get together. The person that started that a few years ago is on our Hawaiian cruise and she goes by EllaEnchanted. YOu might want to contact here. THe one on the Hawaiian haa about 100 ladies attending and instead of pink boas this time it will be pink Hawaiian leis. It is really a lot of fun and we usually get a group pic.

You know Skye, I think that is how Donna keeps beating me in arm wrestling, by moving our furniture around!!! (Guess I could get up off the couch when she moves it!!) But she hasn't complained so far!!! (I keep getting these looks though!!!)

[figmentnnemo]

So much for a quite day in St. Thomas Doing some recon on who else will be in port with us and it is not pretty. Royal Caribbean Oasis and Explorer, Carnival Freedom and Dream, NCL Gem. Without counting in crew, we could be in for 20K people in port. So who is up for just staying on board and ridding the Aqua Duck

[MerMade]

Sorry David,
this Hen owns the TV clickers in my home

But this mens club sounds like a good thing.
I am anxious to learn more about the girl get together. I love dressing up or out.


Cheers!

The toaster is the device in American kitchens that is typically used to make toast or warm bagels. Toaster ovens are a variant of this.

The Hen's Cub uses their toasters to send out secret messages of our plans.
We really do not use toasters, but when I out the special message encoding on so only the members of The Hen Club can see it-- The Member's of the Men's Club see the word toaster for our secret communication device.

If you read old posts you will see they are still trying to figure out what we really use.

Mer
Welcome to the Hen's club!
You will fit right in, LOL!

Once school is out for the summer (mid June) I will more actively work on some planning ideas.

Currently I am about to enjoy Spring Break then I have my last quarter for this school year.

On the positive, helping dd10 get her baritone and her glockenspiel down a flight of stairs for band class sure is helping with the fitness plan.

The scale says I've lost 10 pounds!!!!!!!
Still more to go and I haven't even used the old Torture Machine yet.
