And another.

Ooooh, I love that picture of Magic's atrium! I've never been aboard Magic, only Wonder. I can't wait!

Apple pie sounds so good! I think we'll bake some once the weather cools down a bit more (no air conditioning).

The Chinese was delicious--once it got to us. They always tell us "20 minutes". This time, after 45 minutes, we called back. They said it was on the way. A few minutes later the delivery man called and said he couldn't find our house. There are only three houses on our street, ours is the only one on our side of the street, but it's hidden behind a very large group of trees. You can't see it from the front, and the driveway is hard to find. Of course, it you drive past the house, the entire other side of the house is exposed. Anyway, after some discussion, it turns out he was in front of the house. He said "Lady, do you live in the forest?" I had to send Jim to the end of the driveway to meet him because he really didn't believe there was a house there.

oooooooooooooo look at the atrium.... I almost forgot what it looks like for the Holidays!!!


I like the red Mickey head Christmas ornament.. That may make a Great sign

The "Christmas" one is really cute, but.. I don't want to offend anyone with their Holiday beliefs Maybe I can "edit" and say We wish you a Magical Holiday

Thanks for the awesome pics

Mmmm...apple pie! Sending subliminal hints to Jennifer.

- Bill

I can take a hint dear. But, remember the last time I tried to make an apple pie? I love you too much to torment you again. He ate the mess I made last time without any complaints. Now that is true love. I can manage to put the Mrs. Smith's pie in the over without any incident. There's nothing like walking into a house with the smell of a freshly baked pie. - Jennifer

My sister gave birth to a healthy baby boy on Friday. He was 5 lbs 11 oz. Mother and son are home and doing fine. He is such a cutie. I assured Bill though that I don't have "baby fever". Three is my limit! (this smiley perfectly suits them, always on the go!) - Jennifer

We have a great Chinese food chain down here called Pei Wei. It is yummy! Now that you mentioned it, they usually tell us 10 minutes for pick-up too. - Jennifer

An introduction. I am Dave (42) I am married to Tammy (39), and have a son Brandon (14) who will be joining you all on this cruise. I/we look forward to meeting a lot of new friends, and having tons of fun.

Tammy is a new RN and she needs the rest and relaxation, and Brandon is starting the 8th grade, so he's looking forward to the teen activities. He is 6' and looks older than 14; Girls? .

Welcome Dave and Family!

We've had fun getting to know Wendy. It is great you are all taking a cruise together. We've talked about it with other family members. So, maybe in a couple of years we can get them all onboard and experience the Magic of a Disney Cruise. You are all going to have a great time! - Jennifer

TXTaylors5: Congrats on the new addition to the family! It's always exciting, and it's good to hear that mom and baby are doing fine.

Regarding the smell of fresh-baked apple pie--Jim says that if they sold an air freshener which smelled like frying onions and garlic, he would buy the entire stock. He'd also like one that smells like freshly baked bread. I have some candles that smell like pumpkin pie, so that's been keeping him happy most of the summer. Soon it will be cool enough to start baking again.

And another.

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH, I love it. I can't wait to see it in person. It looks so beautiful. All the garland is more than I expected.

Is anyone thinking about booking this cruise again next year?

MMMM... I need a Mirepoix air freshener! My wife has a bunch like Pumpkin Pie, and Cookies. They're "OK".

I am very happy all went well and baby is healthy. What is his name?
BTW, in our area we have Cole Taylor Banks. (Cole's piggy bank? )

My sis (Pat who is sailing with us) brought the pies for Thanksgiving many years ago. She got the frozen ones, then burned them! We have since requested that she bring the fruit salad, I bake the pies.

We are booked for the Canal WB in May and plan to rebook onboard for Jan 2009. We LOVE early Dec cruises but we have DIS friends that cannot sail in Dec and we want to join them in Jan.

New little family members are so fun!! Congratulations to the entire family.

As much as we would like to, we probably won't be able to afford to do so again within a year. We might book one then move it out.

We've got to start saving for orthodontics, for 3 of the 4 boys so far....

That's going to cost more than a cruise for the 6 of us would.

We can't wait to see the Magic all decked out too. There will be a lot of oooooooooohing and aaaaaaaaaaahing from us. The Wonder looked great last year too. We sailed the cruise right after Thanksgiving. We don't plan on doing this cruise again next year. We already have a September 2008 cruise booked. We plan to re-book on that cruise hopefully for a European cruise (if they are cruising the Mediterranean again).
