08 DEC 2007 - 7 Day Eastern Magic Part 4

[coastgirl]

Oh, I had the adult breakdown as 26 M/32 F. Not sure how I got that now that Krisann said it's not all clear!

Really want to get the Secret Mickey tied up myself... Soooo much to do in the next week and a half!

I got for sure: 23 men and 31 women

the one that is iffy is:

4 Adults 4 children
(Whazzapp)
DS (3)
DS (4)
DS (4)
DS (6)

I do not know how the 4 adults break down - everyone else was clear - anyone know?

Ok, I need webcam opinions again if anyone's around. (Krisann, you still here?)

Is that the Magic off to the right?

Looks like roughly the right ship--black hull, two stacks. But I'm not sure. I've got the kitchen timer set for 5 pm Eastern so we can watch her leave!

I am having trouble pulling it up but I am trying - - - let you know in a few

Beth, Imitrex is what my daughter takes for her headaches.

That's her!

OK, I finished my shopping! Now all I have to do is alter my bathing suit and start packing! Oh yeah--and find a pin to keep the top of my dress for formal night closed.

 

[coastgirl]

LOL, Beth, that last one's important! I just FINALLY got the...um, correct undergarment...for my pirate wench outfit. That also could've been revealing otherwise!!

Thanks for the webcam confirmations. It seems to be getting a bit hazy, but I've still got the clock set. (The new travel alarm for the stateroom with built in night light and --gasp--lime green accents. It seems everywhere I look all of a sudden, lime green is everywhere!!)

I went to the pharmacy yesterday and was told Gravol is the only option for kids for motion sickness. NOT worth it IMO given it seems motion sickness is not that common, and I don't want my kids that groggy for a "just in case". Is there something available in the US that works better? (You guys have waaaaay more choices on pretty much every consumer good than we do...your frozen food section always boggles my mind...) We'll have a day to shop for supplies before we board. I did buy the kids' chewable gravol as a backup, but I'm only planning on using it if absolutely necessary.

Dramamine says on the package it is good for kids except under the age of 2. I bought it at Wal Mart, but any drug store should have it. I think it was like $4.00 for 12 tablets.

There is a less drowsy formula, but not for kids under 12.

 

[coastgirl]

Thanks, I'll have a look next time I go...

She's pulling out now!

 

[coastgirl]

I know!! I just watched her sail out of the field of vision of the Radisson webcam. The Pt Canaveral one doesn't seem to be refreshing that often, but still, I am totally beside myself!

 

[coastgirl]

Wow, that was more exciting than I'd anticipated!!

I "made" ds and dd come watch with me. Dd said "after they're done watching the ship, I think they're going to look for pirates!" Arrrgh, I'm trainin' her well...

 

[TheTXTaylors5]

We watched it too! It was very cool but when it went out of the camera's range, we were like "move more to the right, we wanna keep watching it!". Made us wish we were on it but we only have a couple more weeks to go.

[helloemi]

Wow! it has been one LOoooong week!
I can't believe that in 2 weeks we will all be on the ship!

My husband decided he doesn't want us to wear our lime green shirts in our Welcome Aboard picture. So we will be changing into them in time for the DISmeet. We will have our Mickey head buttons with our names on at the port, so people will be able to find us.

Angie, I think you mentioned a reading of 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, is it the same night as the tree lighting? I don't want to miss either. Any chance they also read Polar Express?

I hope Wendy and Jasmine are having a lot of fun at Disneyland/Paris.

Stacy, I feel for you, I also get migraines and know how bad they can be. Feel better soon.

Beth, I finally ironed on our logo, they look very nice. Thanks again for doing them for us.

Our Secret Santa stocking is ready. I have most of my Secret Santa gifts bought. Just need a couple more items.

We put up our Mickey tree in our Mickey Room yesterday. Our Living Room tree is up but not decorated. DH is going to Bears game tomorrow so I will do all the other indoor decorations while he is gone and leave the tree for him. Whoever invented pre-lit trees is my hero! I can't have real trees because of my allergies and asthma. We are not putting lights around the outside of the house this year. It is very cold out and my daughter usually does it and she is sick. So we ust have our usual spot light on a real wreath and this year the lighted Nativity on the front porch. I started my cards. My shopping is almost done. (I love Amazon) I'll wrap presents once the tree is done. So I am close to reaching my goal of having everything done before we leave so that when we return we can just relax and enjoy Advent.

Tuesday my friends and I are playing hooky and going downtown to have lunch in the Walnut Room at Marshall Fields/Macys. We will take the train into the city.

Next Saturday evening is a 50s Sock Hop/Pizza Party at church celebrating 50years (thus the 50s theme).

Next Sunday I am going to see the Rockettes with a friend.

I still have to finish up my magnets. Need ink again.

I had a near panic attack last night when I couldn't find our paasports to fill out the Bahama Immigration Card. I have a few questions about that......for date of arrival is that the date we are at Castaway Cay? City where we boarded....Port Canaveral? Do we fill out Travel Agency etc in section 2? We haven't cruised since 2004 so I can't remember what we filed out but I think it was only one per family at that time.

 

[coastgirl]

Oh boy, Judy...it's no busier than I am, probably many of us at this point, but seeing it all written out...makes me feel tired! : Yes, we hope to be completely prepped for Christmas before we leave. I got a new nativity scene for my lawn tonight, I'm so excited! Have been looking for an outdoor one for years. And I just changed my ink cartridges.

and just be careful - I purchased some at the airport one trip for my son and I was so tired (had been at airport since 4:30 am) and I did not read the package close enough and gave my sone 2 tablets instead of only 1 for a 10 year old. He was kinda sleeply longer than I planned for - but he did great on the flight with no motion sickness - just coming back he only had one tablet.

I bought the "to go" package at the airport which had just the number we needed for the flight and I did not waste a whole bunch of pills.

For the ship I buy some kind of liquid to put behind our ears - it works great.

 

[coastgirl]

Thanks Krisann.

Never heard of this. Ds hates to take pills, so that could be a good thing...do you remember what it's called?

 

[brack]

WELL THAT STINKS! I was going to have the room decorated for Christmas using the Disney service BUT they do not start that till December 15th! I would have thought they would offer this ALL of December.

I've been going to WDW almost 25 years now and I thought that I knew just about everything about it What is this?
