08 DEC 2007 - 7 Day Eastern Magic Part 4

[JoiseyMom]

I just made reservations for the night of the 15th at Coronado Springs.
We are doing the meal plan as well so i need to make my dining reservations. Its part of the cast member holiday celebration. We get to "try out" the meal plan for a day. Plus its the holiday party that night so Im excited that we dont have to drive home at 2am.

When i ran to Publix i saw Mickey lettuce. I heard Disney was coming out with a line of fruits and veggies, and it was much cuter than i imagined!

Is actually Mickey shaped??

 

[JoiseyMom]

We got the meal plan for only 20$ per person, so I think anywhere we eat we will come out ahead! I was considering Tempanyaki Edo (I think thats the name) for our table service meal. DF loves hibachi style food and it didnt sound like there was asian style food on the ship.

The mickey lettuce was must iceberg lettuce with a farmer Mickey on the wrapper. It was really cute but we don't eat iceberg so i didnt get it. Yes, Im a lettuce snob!

The lunch buffet one day in Topsiders is Asian. I think it is day 3.

The lunch buffet one day in Topsiders is Asian. I think it is day 3.

Sadly the lettuce is not mickey shaped...unlike those cool pumpkins at The Land!

Thats cool about the buffet! Im not a burger/pizza/chicken tenders person, so im glad to hear there are more lunch options.

 

[JoiseyMom]

Whew! You are wearing me out just reading your schedule! Oh, and I would LOVE to go see Martha Stewart. Very




No body's business what you do on your time off I would think.

Very true, but he really wanted me to work black friday last year, and knew better to ask this year. I was interviewed by 2 other managers, 1 who is at my current store, and another one who is not at my store. The main store manager did not interview me, and didn't realize until after I was hired that I was only willing to work when my kids were in school. So, he goes with and I of course am the first person on the day shift to get hours cut. But the current mgr that does the schedule is doing his hardest to give me 3 days a week. This mgr I am going to miss. He is a big disney addict also, and plans on moving to the Orlando ish area within 6 months.

Yes, there are more lunch options then those. You can go to Lumieres, they have shrimp cocktail! We ate at Tritons on the Wonder and it was very good. I never ate the buffet lunch, I am sure I will try it this time.
Oh, Goofy's has wonderful paninnis and wraps and salads.

The Asian buffet is really good!

Good evening all!

Just made it in from the packing, moving, and college basketball game. Unfortunately I saw a jaywalking girl get hit. Almost the same spot where a girl was killed when I was in school. I don't know if it is a college toen thing but I am always seeing people get hit around here.

I am going to be too tired to pack my stuff. I have to go help my mom again tomorrow and I am planning on taking the kids to see abig drive thru Christmas light display. I am not sure I will make it.

I still need to decorate the tree, kids weren't into decorating. They are too tired. I am going to do it in the morning.

This time next week I should be crossing the GA/FL state line!

Well I just caught up on the past couple of days. Screaming baby girl has a diagnosis FINALLY. Double ear infection and to think Monday she was fine??? So at least we'll have antibiotics in our system right before the cruise. I said my babydoll was broken so I was returning her today. Going to try and sleep - 4/5 hours in 2 days doesn't cut it. Don't go haywire please.

 

[SeaSickPsycho]

Just got an email from Nasa saying the shuttle is still on for next Thursday. I really hope it goes up!

 

[SeaSickPsycho]

The lanyards are HERE! They are so cool! I will now start dividing them up and making the inserts for those who asked for the kids.

What are the inserts for the kids? Do my kids need inserts, I am sure they will want inserts. They want everything!

 

[AmberDaClown]

Does anyone know where at the World, we should be if we hope to watch the launch next Thursday?

 

[SeaSickPsycho]

well others talk to themselves so I may be doing the same thing right now but I just keep thinking of things.

Hubby comes home on Monday from Iraq - and so far I have done this week:

put up 1/2 outside decorations - working on the other half before Friday as we are in a lighting contest this weekend

had MIL over for her birthday Monday night

taken son to have 3 teeth pulled this morning at the oral surgeon

working on printing programs for the Holiday Home Tour in our historic neighborhood

purchased Shuttle tickets

went to a play last night

went to a 4-h contest before the play

before that we went and purchased snorkling items - then came home and ordered them online for cheaper - now to take back the others to the store

before that we went and purchased black and silver vest sets with bow tie and regular tie for hubby and DS (he is wearing a small in mens - and it is a little big but will work) so they match

have 4 trees up in our living room - mantle partly decorated

had a piece of furniture delivered that belonged to my great-grandparents that I had refinished - so I had to move stuff around in the dining room to make room for it - now I need to fill it up with stuff

Oh and I am sick - and need to go to dr. to get something for it - been sick since Thanksgiving.

Now what do I still need to do???

I am so glad your husband will be home. I hope he doesn't hve to go back.

Did you get the shuttle tickets that include the meal? I heard the meal is really fun.

I thought I was busy. I have done half of what you have, have not been sick and I am exhausted. I am impressed.

 

[JoiseyMom]

The Asian buffet is really good!

I think they have that the day we have Brunch. I may have to nibble there, or change my brunch if I can .

 

[JoiseyMom]

Just got an email from Nasa saying the shuttle is still on for next Thursday. I really hope it goes up!

So do I. As much as I would love to see it on Saturday..I dont want the traffic for my drive to the port!

 

[AmberDaClown]

We still have had no luck getting brunch reservations and are kinda bummed about. I was checking every day and just gave up. I read a report where someone had boarding card #7 and still didn't get to do the brunch.

 

[SeaSickPsycho]

OH AND GREAT NEWS! I had put in for tickets to the Martha Stewart show for the December 19th taping - you have to "apply" for the tickets and wait for an answer (I love Martha!) and I just got the email that we got tickets!!!!!

So now I have to on top of everything else make plane and hotel reservations for a quickie trip to New York (we have free plane tickets for all of us and enough hilton points for the 2 nights we will stay to be free!)

Of course this means we will get home from the cruise on Sunday the 16th, the tile in kitchen is scheduled to be put in on the 17th, we will leave for New York on the 18th, return on the 20th, have our open house on the 21st, Christmas on the 25th and hubby leaves again on the 29th

Soooo my to do list just got longer . . .

Oh but what fun!

I am really impressed now! I love Martha. Did you see the show after her mother passed? Really odd vibes, she seemed a little too light or something.
I wish I could get over my fear of air travel so I could do quick trips like your trip. Maybe some day. I am still tramatized by the hour on 9/11 when I couldn't get in touch with DH. He was headed to Newark from Atlanta that morning. Then I went up with him the next week, we drove. Still really freaked out.

6AM flight on the 6th

Are you planning on watching the Shuttle?

 

[SeaSickPsycho]

Does anyone know where at the World, we should be if we hope to watch the launch next Thursday?

I believe you will be able to see it anywhere. My grandparents were at Epcot twice when it launched. Unfortunately, they saw the one that exploded and even at Disney they could see the big pieces. They never watched another launch.

 

[SeaSickPsycho]

I am talking to myself again.

 

[WIFamily]

I am talking to myself again.

That's ok, someone will come and steal it from us!
