Have fun Jean ... We'll be thinking about you (with envy) ... Hey David, your good wishes seem to be working. I can actually see grass!

Take care!

Mary Jane

Hey Mary you mean that dreaded green stuff that grows on your lawn. I have to mow that green stuff ALL YEAR LONG!!! All kidding aside I like seeing that green stuff all year. I kinda like green better then white. Unless it's the white sand on Castaway Cay. But honestly Mary, I'm glad to hear you guys up there are finally getting some nice weather.

We're heading over to WDW next Thursday the 10th. We check out the Flower & Garden Festival at EPCOT every year. We're staying 3 nights. And of course taking DGD with us. We can't go any where unless she gets to go too. We really need our Disney fix. We haven't been over there since Christmas time. Too long........ way too long.

Well I better get to work, before my boss has some kind of fit. Not a Disney fan.... can you believe that!!!!!!! I think he's touched in the head!!!!!

Hi Everyone! Just checking in! We finally have a beautiful day here in Kansas. It is sunny and in the 60's. Finally feels like spring! The grass is turning green so I guess that means we too will be mowing soon David! Better than shoveling that horrid white stuff! Of course those are both Mike's jobs (DH). Sorry Honey! LOL!

JeanC - Hope you are having a great time at WDW! I love WDW in April. Our first trip there was in April and the crowds and weather were great. OKW is such a pretty resort. Hope the weather is beautiful for you, can't wait to hear all about it!


We may be having some friends joining us on our cruise! Hopefully we can talk them into it. I will let you all know.

I have to go clear rooms now as we are having someone come and paint all of our trim/bookcases/wainscotting on Monday. We currently have all wood trim throughout the house. I can't wait to have it updated to white! I have waited 11 years for this!

Glad to hear it's finally getting to be nice weather up there for ya'll. Sounds like my efforts to push some of this sunshine down here up your way worked.

We were suppose to get some rain down here today. So far all we've seen is ol' man sun. I even got up early this morning so I could get my mowing done before the rain set in. My next door neighbor was doing the same thing. We were out there just riding our mowing tractors around cutting the grass, trying to hurry up and get done. We were racing to see who could finish first. Of course he finished first. Did I mention my neighbor is a cheater!!! He's sutch a big baby!!! CHEATER, CHEATER!!!! BABY, BABY!!! I don't think he mowed the grass on the side of his house that I can't see.

Ol' man weather even had some dark clouds rolling around tricking us into thinking it was truely going to rain. Boy oh boy did we get fooled. It still hasn't rained today.

Well granddaughter Emily is staying with us for about 10 days. She is the one that goes with us on our Disney trips and Disney Cruises. She's not feeling to well today. And, wifey is in the shower making herself all clean, so I better go and check on my patient. Hope everyone has a great week-end. Talk to ya'll later. bye for now.

Hey you managed to get it even farther west than you thought... It's beautiful and sunny and warm over here in the mile-high city too. I've been out and about in short sleeves sans jacket enjoying it.

Thanks David ... I actually wore the spring coat for the first time today! Weather was beautiful. We actually went to see Nims Island tonight. I really liked it. Very cute. I think we will be hearing alot from Miss Abigail Breslin. She is one good little actress. It was nice to see Jodie Foster in a more comedic role.

 

[davidls]

Thank you, thank you, thank you............ one and all. I'm glad my efforts to get ya'll some nice weather paid off. (Did I tell you I think I hurt myself on that last final push. That was the one that I think took hold and did the trick too. I was sure tired for about 3 days afterward, and my back ached for a week after too. And then I got a hang nail on my right thumb, and then my left big toe got this weird thing growing on it.................not sure what that was.) Oh well, glad it all worked.

We are getting ready to head over to WDW this coming Thursday. Can't wait to get there and RELAX. Been looking forward to this for awhile now. We're going to check out the new changes to the Haunted Mansion, see Mike and Sully at their laugh club, ride Big Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain. This is my kind of relaxing.

Hope all has a great week-end, what's left of it. Talk to ya soon.

So, my name is Paige. I'll be on board with DH Chad, DS Gaige (14) & DD Paiton (6)....
Paige

Will your kids be that age when we sail? My DS will be 15 and DD will turn 6 during the cruise.

I haven't posted to this thread for quite a long time and just realized that you both had joined! It will be SO nice to meet your family considering we live within minutes of each other! I forsee a real-life friendship being made! Our friends and family just don't understand our Disney obsession... even though we've tried our best to convert them over to the Disney vacationing way of life. Thank God for DISers!

It looks like some of our kids are of similar ages. At the time of the cruise, mine will be 13 (boy), almost 12 (twins - boy & girl), 9 (boy), and 4 (girl).

(I 'met' TinksDH in another thread several weeks ago. I was pretty excited just to know there was actually another DISer in Olathe! I had NO IDEA that we'd actually be cruising together!!! )

Hey Jac ... I saw your photos on the DCL Food thread .... Looks like you had a yummy time!!! I can't wait until my next cruise... I'm hungry already!

 

[PaigerPoo]

Yep, Gaige will be 14 (15 in December) and Paiton will have turned 6 in September. Looks like we may have to get them together!!

Woke up this morning to a fine sprinkling of the white stuff. I wouldn't have noticed it, except for the deck. Hey David, can you send more sunshine

 

[AUNTIE_GOOFY]

Hi All! My family and I just got off the Magic on Saturday. There were a total of nine of us all together. While onboard my sister, Kathy, decided we should rebook another cruise. So since we've already done the normal Eastern twice and the Western twice we decided on this cruise that included St. Croix.

I've read the posts so far and I look forward to getting to know you guys better.

 

[MJGirl]

Hi AuntieGoofy ... Welcome aboard!!!



Well there be 9 of you again? Let me know and I'll update the first page with the correct info!

 

[AUNTIE_GOOFY]

Thanks MJ!

There will only be four of us this time around. My sister, Kathy, and her two daughters, Molli who will be 10 at the time we cruise and Emma who will be 6. Kathy has an account on here, so I'll have to tell her about the thread. I guess I never said what my name was either...I'm Becki...the goofy aunt all my nieces and nephews love, hence the screenname...

Ok Mary here goes, can't promise anthin' tho'. That last time took alot out of me. I ain't as young as I used to be!!!

We just got back yesterday afternoon from WDW. It was great. Rode Splash Mountain first thing Saturday morning. Granddaughter and I was in the front, and yes of course we got soaked!!! I don't thing my undershorts ever did dry out!!! But hey it was a great time.

Well Mary let me know if I need to give some sushine an extra push your way. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......... be very, very, very quite, the boss is coming. Do like I do and act like you don't see him. Better get back to work.
Talk to ya'll later.

 

[JeanC]

Welcome Becki!

We also just got back from WDW yesterday. The drive down from SC was horrendous -- rain for almost the entire 1-1/2 days (we stop for a night so we can get to WDW early the day our reservation starts). Torrential rains thru SC, GA and FL. MGM was open late on Sunday so off we went with our ponchos in place. The weather after Sunday was great. Sunny and very pleasant. We learned that on Sunday, 4/6, the Orlando area got more rain on that one day than they normally get in the whole month of April! Now we are looking forward to DVC at Hilton Head in July and then back to WDW in October.

Hmmmmmm. I guess I said hello, but I didn't actually introduce us. We're Val, Joe, DD Rachel who will be turning 17 when we sail, and DD Leia who will be 14. Wow, she hasn't even hit 13 yet - this cruise is a loooong time away! Anyway, hello!

Oh my gosh! This is awesome! I have not checked in lately as it has been a bit hectic at our house. Our painters were here all last week and finished yesterday - yay!

Anyway, that is so cool that you all are in Olathe and going on the cruise with us! I will PM you to see where you live, it would be too funny if we have actually already met.

We are having some lovely spring weather here in Kansas. The grass is really green now! Can't wait to see the trees with leaves!

Welcome AUNITE GOOFY! We re-booked on board for this cruise also.
