GRRRR,
I am trying to finish they boys fund raiser stuff, they hand us this stuff to sell friday without warning and they have to turn it in tomorrow with payment, like hello I think we need more time than this and everything they send home from school they only send one of so the one who doesn't get to bring the note home is always upset but yet I am expected to sell 20 things that cost over $16 each which are worth like $4/5 in less than 1 week. I am short 4 items so they can both sell 10 things to get a prize that I can buy at the dollar tree. I was going to go ahead and buy 4 things but decided that I will just take both of them to good 'ole walmart and let them pick their own prize for being such good salesmen.

Hellooooooooooooooo
Peopleeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I didn't mean Meeeeeeeeeee time alone

 

[mommyoftwinfants]

I am sure that they could have sold at least 10 items each but we left for Austin as soon as they got out of school friday and did not get back until sunday night and I had to work till 7:15 last night and they are due 1st thing in the morning, half the people I talked to said they could friday(payday) but payment is due in the morning...... I just know that one will be upset because they didn't get the prize.

I never should have taken anything for my allergies I am WIDE AWAKE now probably won't fall asleep until the sun comes up and I still feel like crap.

I think we are tied with Rob for the most "almost" pirates.

Congrats Brack! He is the "original" pirate!

You know, if there was a "wench" prize for almost getting pirates, you, me, and Bill would be tied for first!!! That's what we need to start: the WENCH!!!

someone tell me about the character breakfast
THANKS

I've heard it's recently changed. There was much discussion of the pros and cons of the change over on the main cruise board. When we went a couple years ago, it was basically a sit down breakfast like dinner... they bring the menus, take your order, etc.

The difference comes in that there are a lot of the characters walking around. Some, like Chip and Dale, are even in "Chef" costumes as if they're helping make breakfast. On our cruise, we had all kinds of the "furry" characters as well as Princesses, etc. They would stop by the table while you were eating and pause for pictures to be taken.

From what's being said on the main board, it's apparently changed recently to be more of a party type thing. The characters are still there, but they stay to the main aisle and do a dance number kinda thing. People say that the younger children get up and jam with them in the aisles, but that you don't see adults get up to do so... thus, eliminating photo ops with the characters at the breakfast.

All this is just second hand, mind you, as it was still the old way when we last cruised. Guess we'll have to wait and see what they do on ours!

Do you make reservations or is it part of your rotation???

 

[mommyoftwinfants]

1 more question, (for now) if you can't wear shorts for dinner can we expect our luggage to be in our room before dinner is served if we have main seating

Yes, they try to get your luggage there as soon as possible. We've had ours show up before we got to the room once.
