Thanks for the encouragement. We've been through this three or four times, and they always change the orders at the last minute to a no go.

I second seashells on the crocs question. I need comfortable shoes for our pre-cruise park trip. I hear they're great, but are they really? There isn't anywhere really closeby where I can try them on.

I LOVE my crocs! They are made of some stuff that molds to your feet. I use mine at WDW and only on about the 4th day do I get a bit of hurts, and it is not from my feet it is my ankles. Yes the vent holes work. As for feet slipping, there are little nubbies inside the shoe. Now most people say their feet dont sweat. I must have really sweaty feet, because my feet do sweat! BUT the trade off in comfort is worth it. I have at least 7 dif colors of crocs and I can wait to get a pair of the new mary jane stlye that is coming out as well as the ballet flats. Do either of you have a Hallmark store? most hallmarks carry them

Thanks princess Amanda. They look kind of hot to me, but who knows? We used to have a Hallmark store- I don't know if we still do. You can tell I do a lot of shopping. I'll have to look. If not, I'll just take a chance and get size nines. (Yes, I have a very big feet).

Julie,
I can attest that they are NOT hot. And they run big. I would suggest an 8 if you usually wear a 9 to get an 8. Im tellin ya though, they spoil your feet for anyother shoes!

AAAHHHHH! ALASKA AIRLINES!!!! I just spent the past 3 hours, yes 3 hours dealing with them trying to get our tickets for our trip. I had no idea how difficult it would be to use just miles to get tickets. We had enough to split it half miles and half money. But I looked at it and it was cheaper to buy the miles and use only miles. So I spent a almost all our tickey money to buy our miles, thinking I had found a way to save a couple hundred bucks.

Well it turns out that there are only a couple of seats avalible on each flight for miles only travlers. I was talking to an Alaskan airlines agent trying to make a reservation and one of the seats I wanted was actually taken while I was on the phone with her. It was a nightmare. We ended up with a flight that leaves on the 8th and returns on the 24th. The problem with that is it's 2 days earlier than we wanted to arrive and a day later than we wanted to leave.

Never again will I travel on just miles if I need specific days. That was 3 hours of my life I will never get back. Oh and the money I saved by buying the miles, I have had to spend on expanding the Dining plan, the 41 points to add on to our room reservation and now I need to figure out where we are going to stay when the cruise is over and how we will get to the airport the next morning. I hate mondays!

The good news..........3 extra days at WDW!!!!!!!

 

[JOANNEL]

Amanda- how was Madonna?

 

[dzneprincess]

Joanne it was awesome! Words can not describe! I had a blast and I would not hesitate to do it again for hte next tour if she skips Atlanta again! look at my photobucket accout search for dzneprincess and I have a few pics uploaded.

 

[seashells]

Thanks for the info dzneprincess, we have Hallmark in Canada but it sells greeting cards and candles etc..dont think its kind you have. I like the idea of mary janes and ballet flats!

 

[ericamanda01]

WHAT??? Change it back!!!!!!!!!!!I was looking forward to hanging with yall on Sat after cruise!

Oh honey you don't understand, we have to stay overnight in Fl.the Sat after the cruise. I just made our reservations for SSR. We can hang out all day if you want! We might even be able to squeez in a little park time!

I love my crocs...I do I do I do...but after I've been wearing them a while I get a blister on my foot where the plastic tab that holds the strap is. I wear ankle socks (cute ankle socks) with my crocs when I am going to be wearing them all day (we wore ours to the fair too, Amanda01 - we should have been on the look out for crocs) I tried the mickey pin backs! It works! I never should have doubted my Favorite Disney Princess...so since we have about a million pins (did ya' see the Tag?) we'll be glueing (taking no chances) mickey heads to our crocs that we're taking on the ship.

Double Dip hats...I saw (I know some of you did too) there were Double Dip hats (ballcaps) so now I have to go find someone to get me a hat from the August Double Dip. We'll still be wearing our tiaras for Embarkation Day, but I wear ballcaps a lot and if I had a Double Dip one, then I wouldn't have to wait until the last day......

Well, three days have gone by (didn't make it a full week) and I am already stressing the new car payments....I haven't had a new car payment for a while...we'll definately have to cut back on eating out...and ebay...and cruising... Well, off to buy a hat! I'll post pictures of "Eddie" soon.

MY TAGS ARE GONE

 

[WldWcnWmn]

I took a nap-e-pooh and thought, when I woke up my Tags would be back. They aren't... I am going back to bed. {SNIFF}

 

[ericamanda01]

What do you mean they are gone, poof? Did the tag fairy take them away? Can the TF do that?

 

[seashells]

Brighter side Thea, U HAVE A NEW CAR!!!!!

Sorry guys, silly ? but I dont know what tags are!

I thought they are comment lines added to your signature, but then there is this "tag fairy" Ive heard about that seems to control the tags so I guess its not something you add to your signature???

 

[WldWcnWmn]

Thanks for the info dzneprincess, we have Hallmark in Canada but it sells greeting cards and candles etc..dont think its kind you have. I like the idea of mary janes and ballet flats!

Yep, that's the one... Hallmark has Crocs...the card shop with all the little "Peg" stuff...statues, candles, pens, photo albums, beanie babies, whatnot. Payless shoes also has Croc knock offs we bought a pair for the cruise because they are swirly colors and cute; plus they're half the price of Crocs.

I got my Tags Back! Seashells, I owe you a drink! Name your poison and we'll enjoy a good Tag Beverage onboard!

Amanda01 - I think I erased my tags when I was setting up Mekayla's account. I had to go into my profile DO NOT GO THERE!!! and while I was there I changed my Origin from "Oregon" to "Too far away..." just to be cute...well it was not cute... changing my origin deleted my tags......I was so bummed yesterday! I didn't get a thing done at work because I kept checking back to see if my tags were back. I posted this really stupid thread (lbgraves said to) and the moderator that is the Tag Fairy apparently read it; I think the Tag Fairy took pity on me...she also put a reminder for me never to go tiggering in the profile area.

Pictures of Edwardo Enriquez Diego coming soon, I want to get my new Disney Cruise sticker on him...he's naked after all....

Did my PM clear it up? See all the new pretty colored words under my name? Yesterday it was black and stuff I typed, this in color is what the Tag Fairy types and you can't change it, or replace it, but you can delete it.
"witch-e-poo" ha! "nap-e-poo" "dreams come true" You really are the Best!

 

[ericamanda01]

See there, you get your tags back and you begin to speak in rhyme! Hoe poetic!

 

[seashells]

Okay I get the tag thing now!!

Glad to be of some service, and I will be more than happy to take you up on the drink offer...we can toast to the return of your tags!!!!

Oh by the way...that is the extent of my rhyming capabilities

I just discovered that Friday, September 15th is one of the nights when MNSSHP is scheduled for MK. DD wants us to get tickets. She thinks it will be cool to wear our pirate costumes that we have for Pirates Party to the MNSSHP. We went to the party in Oct 2004 and it is still DD's favorite thing that she has ever done at WDW. At first, I thought it would be a great idea, but we have ressies at the Radisson and are planning to leave our car parked at that hotel during the cruise. MNSSHP lasts to midnight. I figure it would be too much to stay out that late the night before Embarkation Day. What do you guys think? How long will it take us to get from MK to the Radisson, factoring in traffic from everyone leaving the party? I know someone will recommend that we go for a while and leave before the party is over. I know before I go that there is no way I will get DD to leave early. During both of our previous trips to WDW, we closed one of the parks every single night. When she is at WDW it's like she is having an adrenalin rush and I can't get her give up.

I was trying to talk Amanda into doing this. I have never been in WDW during a holiday, this will be the closest I will get. Until I convience Eric to take me during Christmas. Come on Amanda let's dress up and go!!!! I want CANDY!!!!

 

[WldWcnWmn]

Gail, I know you've done the MNSSHP before, but Amanda01 - when we did it in 2004 it was all I could do at the end of the evening (which was actually early morning the next day) to crawl on a monorail and get into bed at the Poly...do you really want to do all that and then drive to the Cape? If so, then have a ball - I want to go to the park so bad I can taste it...but I'll be sleeping friday night (hopefully) On the other hand...if you all plan a DIS Meet there, I might be persuaded to convince PurpleTart and Mekayla to go...but we will be one sorry looking group boarding the cruise. I dunno' if I wanna' board the ship tired. I have to be well rested for all that eating and sleeping....
