08 DEC 2007 - 7 Day Eastern Magic

[RBennett]

Last night in Atlanta. Tomorrow we drive back to WDW.

I can't wait to see the "New" Haunted Mansion on Friday. They have a Passholder preview.

MAKE SURE TO GIVE US THE UPDATE!!!!!! I'm DYING to know what they changed!!!!!!

 

[JsMom2]

How 'bout now????

Nice! And yes the blog is updated!!

 

[JsMom2]

Ummm. Which website? How do I get there????????

If you already have them on a photosharing site, just PM me the link, and I'll put it up on the cruise blog

So, are the adults (or kids in big people bodies) on this cruise going to wear pirate costumes on Pirate Night? I'm undecided for us. If we are I have to help 11 other people come up with something. I'm thinking about getting those $4.99 pirate shirts from Disney and calling it good. Another set of 13 matching shirts!

I bought a costume from buycostumes.com. I told my family to look for stuff too. Since we are so close to halloween, I'm sure it'll be easy to find stuff at a discount. Also, I've seen some cute family Pirate pictures where most people just wore black pants, and red shirts. You can easily dress that up with the free bandanas, some mardi gras beads, and eye patches.

Last time, we dressed the kids in pirate costumes while Bill and I just wore Pirates of the Caribbean t-shirts. Emily had me pull out her costume the other day. She wanted to try it on to see if it still fit. It did. So, she wore it for the rest of the day. To be a kid again. No one looks at you funny in the store dressed like a pirate. Everyone just smiled at her. Now if I tried that . . .

We should all do that one day! DISers around the world conducting their daily business dressed as

Priceless!!

Bill Update:

After a morning of roundtable discussions , he went to MK in the afternoon. Again, short lines. He went on Space Mountain twice in a row with no wait. Also, he rode Splash Mountain, BTMRR and Pirates of the Caribbean with short lines. The longest line he said was at Splash Mountain (10 minutes!). Poor him! It did start to rain again. So, ducked into one of the stores on Main Street to buy some more souveniers for the kids. He said it was so empty that everyone was under the awning waiting for the rain to stop. So, Main Street was empty. I am sure that was a sight!

He went to Epcot this evening for more Fish 'N Chips in the UK. Then, back to the room to relax and call me.

He just discovered this evening that he can see Illuminations from his patio. He was on the phone with me and heard the fireworks starting outside. So, he stepped onto the patio so I could hear and was shocked in being able to see the fireworks too.

He is doing a Manager run tomorrow morning around the Lagoon. He ran it the other morning and said it was neat. Also, he was happy to have something to look at while he ran, because his MP3 needed new batteries half-way around.

I want Bill's job!

Whew, I think I'm finally caught up from all your posts last night!

The site has been down most of the day. I was going through DIS withdrawals

Thanks to Stacy and Jennifer for my Boos!!

Good morning! I got a late start this morning, and then my train was late, so I'm going to be playing catch-up all day.

RBennett: Why can't girls dress up as boy pirates? I certainly would, if we were dressing up, which we aren't. We have too many other things to pack for our epic vacation!

The tag fairy does "cruise" this board now and then--I got tagged a couple of years ago, and I'm still pleased with my tag, and still very patient and very helpful!

Jim is really starting to get into the cruise planning. Is it too late to be included in the "Secret Mickey"?

I like the idea of doing business in a pirate costume. I've been known to wear a witch hat to work during the Halloween season. It really got some attention when I had a meeting with several municipal attorneys! And it looks really cool with a business suit. It gives me a bit of "understated elegance".

Now it's back to work.

Ok, just to clarify before I get mobbed!!! She can dress up like ANYTHING she wants. I mean look at the character Anamaria in Curse of the Black Pearl! When they were looking for a crew at the beginning of the movie, she was dressed up like a boy pirate and pulled it off GREAT!!! So that was just me at trying to come up with reasons for Pooh_Girl to not pack any more "stuff" than we need.

 

[BethC1952]

Anamaria is exactly the character I was thinking of, I just couldn't remember her name (yet another senior moment this morning).

That's OK then. I can understand not wanting to pack more stuff! We're trying to limit our stuff to two suitcases and one carryon each because we're traveling to FL by train and camping for a week. I don't want to drag any extra stuff around either!

The rain here isn't too bad. It is a dry rain.

Dry rain? Hmmm.

What resort is he at? Maybe you told us and I missed it. We are living vicariously through him this week! We need to know where we are. Glad there was more Fish 'n Chips last night!

Well, since Pooh_Girl is now on the board with us, I think she will be on to your trick!
