11/14/09 - Special Western - 2 CC stops PART2

[glindamood]

I had a PM request for this information on Secert Mickys so I thought I would copy it here as well - now it is part of this thread as well.
The news on Secret Mickey's has finally arrived. Sandiegosusie and I have talked (well, typed) and this is what we have come up with.

1. SM is open to adults - assignments will be made ladies to ladies and the guys to guys.

2. At least three deliveries should be made with a total $$ amount to be spent around $35.00 (that is total for all gifts).

3. Hypermommy added a tab on our group spreadsheet - if you wish to participate, please fill out a line and add anything you think helpful in additional columns. Better yet, if we have missed something, let me know and I can add a column specifically for the subject.

4. Those of you with guaranteed rooms, please let us know once you get your cabin number. Those that choose to upgrade at the port, call my cabin so that I can get the info to your SM.

5. The cutoff for participation is 10/20. That will give us time to make the connections and let everyone know who their SM is by the end of October.

6. The "reveal" will take place at our group lunch in Lumiere's on Thursday. If you can't attend, please let your SM know who you were.

Well, I think that covers it. Any questions - please let me know. I can't wait!

OMG! I actually know someone (else) who lives in Wyandotte! I spent the 1st 11 years of my life in Westland. BEST Halloween (& other) memories there.

 

[mousemom11]

Well, the Teddy Bears can't carry carryons, and I need a hand free for the cane, so we have more luggage and fewer carryons! It's up to 6 bags and a box, now.

LOL @ Teddy Bears. I swear our luggage procreates over night when we're not looking.

Where will we be 1 week from today? Today's answer - Universal Studios.

DH has joined the ranks of the sick - he's got a slight cold - in spite of the Official Family Health Bubble. Well, best to get it out of the way now. I'm off to supervise homework and do laundry. Have a Happy Halloween everyone.

 

[Hypermommy]

I figured she was too little to fixate on it. Guess the Mouse has his ways.

Oh he has his *ways* of sinking those big white hooks, er, uh, gloves into you!!!! Just ask KC!!!

What a wonderful picture!!!!! I just had to see it again. Thanks for sharing!!!!

Pixie dust to everyone that needs it!!!

Anyone else having trouble figuring out what to get for teenaged FE stuff? I've got some cutesy stuff for the kids (hope I have enough) and some stuff for the adults (although I had to scale back on my idea because quadrupling the lamination would have gotten expensive!). But I'm having the hardest time figuring out what to do with the teenagers. I thought about something like business cards with the logo and they could write their email addresses in but then I figured there might be problems with that in 2 ways. Most of them probably just put that info into their phones these days, right? And #2 I don't want to be responsible if some parent doesn't want her teen sharing that info. So now I'm still trying to figure out what to do.

Sweets! Teenagers are just tall kids.

Gail, I didn't post at 2:30 when I got up the first time. Haven't been to sleep since and I'm POOPED! We're going to supper and then we're done!

LOVE that halloween picture!

 

[makaylee]

BOO! Happy Halloween. I feel like such a scrooge. I'm so not in to it this year. Just get me on the boat already.

Baby keeps talking about the big boat, the airplane and everyone who's coming. This will get old way before it's time to go. I figured she was too little to fixate on it. Guess the Mouse has his ways.

I have to add my kudos to the mini-nav. GREAT work. Thanks!

I realize now that I could pack so much lighter if I didn't have to bring so many things-that-make-me-look-presentable (aka toiletries). Ugh. I can't imagine if I was high maintenance (DH agrees that I'm not, so no comments from the peanut gallery :rofl.

That's so funny because I can't pull up anything Disney on the computer without my DS3 whining about he wants to go on the Mickey Boat NOW! lol

I think all that rest is getting to you Linda! Just don't overdo - or worse yet get your days and nights mixed up. Safe travels!

Hey there!

I was just sitting here prepping FE stuff (yeah, I'm finally getting around to it) and realized I never finished the graphic for the dolphin excursion. Y'all had some great suggestions as to what to change. I'd probably be able to finish it up tonight or tomorrow if you'll be kind enough to remind me what your suggestions were. Please?

Here's the graphic again as it stands now.


Maybe the dolphin Ds are too much? I could just change all the lettering to Disney font and move it around.

In fact that was so easy to do that I just threw it together. What do y'all think of this one?

Maybe it should be "dive with dolphins" instead of "do the dolphins".... maybe it's just me but that just doesn't sound right, ya know?

Anyway.... lemme know what you think of either one and I'll get it finished up and available to everyone to iron-on to a t-shirt if you want to.

Hi, I snuck out of bed while Irish Belle is trick or treating with our DD.
Man, Im wiped, but at least IM on my anti-biotic.

Happy Halloween Everybody

My DD is dressed as a Half angel/half Devil. She looks adorable.

But you know I was thinking, Irish Belle is like that already and she doesn't need a costume

Yes, IM dead if she reads this, but she forgot her PW.


I like the 2nd design Denise, thank you for your effort.


Gotta go back and lie down, cya all soon

 

[LindaBabe]

xxcell, you are SO DEAD! 'cause the devilish half of your angel is gonna KILL YOU!

 

[sandiegosusie]

Hi Everyone!
Back from Trick or Treating with the girls...DH is sick! YIKES!

If you have not yet responded to me via PM about your SM please do so ASAP! There are a few of you that I had to email because I couldn't find any posts.

Love the mininav girls! Really cool and helpful!

Travelbee, hoping your pup will be ok? I can't remember what kind of dog he is? Lab?

Packed a little today. Started on the shipping box. How soon do you send it? Next week?

Hope everyone gets better soon. Sounds like we all are doing what we can to stay healthy...

I'm mailing mine on Monday. Even if we weren't flying out on Wednesday, I would still mail mine by mid-week this week just to be sure.

Everyone enjoy your extra hour of sleep tonight and rest, rest, rest!

Ladies, I printed out the MiniNav today, and it is truly a Thing of Wonder (or Magic as the case may be). Excellent work.

Spent all evening after trick-or-treating with the girls printing out maps to complete my travel notebook. I proudly showed the notebook to DH who said, "Now that's obsessive compulsive! And well done, by the way". I totally took that as a compliment, since I freely admit to having Obsessive Compulsive Planning Disorder.

Hi, I snuck out of bed while Irish Belle is trick or treating with our DD.

Get yourself back in bed and recover!!! If you don't behave I'm going to tell Belle what you said!!!!

Oh and how about that game last night, huh? I didn't see the game itself but I woke up to the marvelous results!!!

I like the 2nd design Denise, thank you for your effort.

Yeah, I think I like that one better too. Okay, if anyone doing the dolphins wants a copy of that design to put on t-shirts just let me know. PM me with your email addy (because you know how my memory is) and I'll send it straight to ya.

GOOD Morning! Day shift, checking in. Less than two weeks now - is everybody suitably excited?

Today we travel through Washington, DC, Virginia, and some of North Carolina.

Happy day, all!

Good morning! Hope you have a wonderful day. Are you going down 95? If so you'll be passing through SC tomorrow right? Say hello to my homestate for me!!!

Suitably excited? That's not what I'd call it. Somewhat in panic mode, actually! I had to rethink the FE stuff for adults because I just couldn't afford to get everything laminated. I may still try to figure out some way to use the other graphics I came up with because I just love how they turned out. Wonder how everyone would feel about "fridge magnet kits" where you'd have to get them laminated and put a piece of a magnet on yourselves. It's a bit cheap and hokey, I know... but the electric deposit just won't wait.

 

[glindamood]

Two weeks from today - Castaway Cay! No plans other than to sit and take the scenery in. I have started watching the weather reports and so far, so good - no major storms so far.

Today is packing day here - everything is ready but it is time to get stuff into the suitcases. Have a good day all.

 

[MSTXMOM]

Denise, I love the kit idea. But you might look at a roll of clear contact paper. We used it last year for luggage tags. You just put your picture between two sheets and trim!

We went out with the Grandkids last night with a trial run of our pirate costumes. We had a great time. My little darlings were a cat (6 year old), a witch (4) and Stitch (2 and a half). The Stitch is type casting I tell ya!

I'm at the office, I have to get some things done so I can leave in 12 days (Jiminy Cricket says so!). Y'all have a great day!!

I was just on the WDW website looking at information for our pre-cruise activities and just found out you can "pre-check in" online. Looks like it may speed your checkin time if you are staying at a WDW resort before/after your cruises.

Oh I'd love to see pictures!!!!!

And thanks for the idea of the contact paper. Would NEVER have thought of that and it'll be the perfect answer!!!!! Yippppeeeeeee!!!!!!

Oh, and I just found something that y'all might like if you use iGoogle. You know how you can pick themes for the top of the page? Well they have one of the Magic. So now every time I go to google I see that satisfying sight!!!!!! If you want to use it just go to "change my theme" and search on "cruise". I found it on the first page when I searched on "cruise"

Safe travels to you and DH Linda.

Where will we be 1 week from today? Today's answer - Universal Islands of Adventure.

Doing the last of the laundry today and the majority of the packing. Making DH baby himself so that he gets over his cold quickly.

Happy Sunday everyone! Can't wait to see y'll real soon!
