Good Day to all!!

Elaine- God be with you and yours day along with a a whole lot of pixie dust. Everyone is praying.

Well, back to my sewing and packing, and cleaning. I went to work out this morning, still trying to loose more weight that I know I will gain back on the cruise. Oh well, have to keep trying.

We be sailing, SOON!!!! Everyone be safe and stay safe.

Elaine - praying for you and your Dad. I am sure all of us on this thread are. God bless!

Suanne - Welcome to the cruisears and thank you for your kind words. We are a "motley crew"!

Karen - You are getting to know me toooooo well! : ) And that's a good thing!

Dennis - Glad to get that weather report - yup, all systems go!

Michael loves school! And I am loving the time I have to spend with my Mom, shop, and take care of my own stuff!

One of these days I'll have to start on the next play for our theater but I think I'll wait til I have to stay inside and just enjoy the nice cool fall weather for now!

Can't wait til we meet! Til then, take care and God bless!

Hugs,
Rae

Chrystina & Dennis ... just wondering how much time you will be spending outside of your stateroom since you haven't been together for a while!

Hope all is going well with Elaine and her Dad's surgery.

Chrystine ... mailed what you needed this morning.

Syzanne ... mailed what you needed this morning.

Vonda ... How you doing with the documents?

William music from the movie TITANIC !!!!! I like the way your mind works little guy. I think the longer of the three is the Wonder but only by around a foot or less followed by the Magic and the Titanic. Power ALASKA had the dwarfs. When we sailed on the Magic in 1998 she was the third largest cruise liner now I dont think either Disney ship are in the top 15 but I think they are the prettiest by far. Hope all went well with your Grand-Pop you guys are in our prayers. Vonda anything yet??? and HOW ABOUT THEM EAGLES???? this is the team I was expecting all summer good to see them play so well last night. Needed that after the ceremony yesterday. I have been a Roman Catholic since birth and love my faith but with no disrespect intended at all would like to go out like a Baptist. The ceremony was so uplifting almost joyful told my wife and sister to make my departure a little less "severe". See Ya for now.

Goodness Gracious...are the days D R A G G I N G BY or what????????
I want to post my thingies SO BAD!!!!!!!!!
Oh well, another work day finished... 6 more to go.

I got an e-mail from Shirley at the Perfect Gift. I had asked her to find some NASCAR items (Mark Martin items really) for my DH birthday basket. She found a silver MM beer hugger, and a MM race car! WAY TO GO Shirley!!!!!

I think...yes, I am going to begin my countdown

11 days till we sail

Get Packing everyone!

 

[@GoofyNut]

George ... Loved the EAGLES game ... in the same "ballpark" as the PSU win! OK now we're back to the way it should be.

 

[Tiiiigergirl]

William I will come out of lurker status for my guess. I'm also guessing the Wonder.

Elaine I hope everything went OK today.

 

[eshannon]

The answer is.....The magic and wonder are the same length and both are longer and wider than the Titanic each being 964 ft long and 106 feet wide, tghe Tittanic was 882 1/2 feet long and 93 feet wide. If the disney magic and wonder were any wider and longer they would not be able to pass through the pannama canal would not be possible and the order of the dwarfes isdoc, grumpy, happy sleepy, bashful sneezy and our favorite dopey

 

[VondaP]

Guess who received their doc's today? Now, it seems real! We are so excited.

Prayers to Elaine and her daddy.

Weather stay nice for us, ok!

See you all soon,

Vonda

 

[Twinave]

Yipeeee Vonda!
Now start packing!

 

[RellingTwin]

LOTS of good news today! Now we just need to hear from Elaine!
Vonda..how did docs come? Regular mail, FedEx?

I would have never guessed the Titanic was smaller then the DCL ships.

 

[VondaP]

Mary,

Docs came Airborne Express - overnight. I will have to admit, we are already packed!

My computer modem went kablooie on Monday morning so I have been offline. Actually, it was the connectors outside the house that had to be replaced. Thankfully I am back online. I get very cranky when I can't DIS! LOL

Karen, Cathy, and Mary -- thanks for letting me know that I am not the only one in a bit of a funk. I think it is the "so much to do and so little time" feeling. Plus I'm used to planning WDW trips where I can make lists and charts of who, what, where and when. I think being less planned is making me jumpy.

I'm not even sure about dining rotations. I know that there is APL. Is that the one that is usually for people with younger kids? What are the others and who are they generally geared for?

Thanks to Rae for the wonderful PM -- you brightened my day!

I will say that I was a bit freaked to come here and hear the theme song from the Titanic. It is a pretty song, but we are going on a big boat soon! LOL

Vonda -- I'm so happy that you got your documents! Yee Haa!

Elaine -- I am keeping your family in my prayers and thoughts.

Boy is there going to be a lot of hugging at the launch party.

I've heard that the dining time for early is 6PM, not 6:30 as previously reported.

 

[eshannon]

I am tired after being at the hospital with my mom all day, but I couldn't wait to get back and let you know how my dad is. they replaced five veins instead of four. Took quite awhile. When we did get to see him it was onlyfor a few minutes. Made me cry. But all is well and it will just be a few weeks and he will be good as new. We can see him every hour for five minutes tomorrow also. I will only go twice, my mom will be there longer. Thanks for all the prayers and pixie dust. I am sure it was felt and heard

I see my little guy posted a acouple of times. He got a kick out of your answers. I bought him a disney trivia book. He will be bringing it will him I am sure.

Off to bed, It is only 9:30 but I am pooped! thanks again. Elaine

 

[padisneyfan]

Elaine,

I am so glad that the surgery went well for your father. Don't be alarmed by all the tubes, the first time you see them it is very frightening. It is amazing how fast they recover. Usually, the first day they even get them out of bed which is not easy with all the tubing. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sure you will sleep soundly tonight.

More pixie dust your way.
