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

[sandiegosusie]

Heckova large group of twins then because I have a binder too - with ALL my upcoming trips in it, reservations, affinitiy cards, instructions for photoshopping my pictures, instructions for sun pass, ez pass and phone numbers for the rental car places, consulates, and ships agents in all the ports, JUST in case we miss the boat. . . of course the binder will be ON the boat, so that might not do me any good.

What I *don't* have is momy's phenomenal MEMORY!

Roser, I'll buy you a coffee in the Cove. Thank you for doing what you do!

I would venture to say that the birth was that of quads!!! I finished paying off our trip today...whew!!!! My closet is a staging area that is now being moved to the guest room...I have too many tubs and piles of cruise must haves! My travel organizer is looking organized!!! Welcome to everyone new...WOW we are getting big!

Thanks for the welcome! I hope I have time to plan..I do not have any idea what we are going to do on our excursions yet.. Our last cruise Grand Cayman was cancelled we went to Key West instead...At Cozumel we did the Royal swim with the dolphins, I highly recommend to anyone who has not done this, the seas were very rough but the water was so warm! We thought it would be freezing but was warmer in the ocean than sitting outside waiting for out scheduled time.

The kids are not happy that they will not be going..I am starting to feel guilty Has anyone been in November? How is the weather?

Hopefully I can get caught up this weekend with this entire thread.

Talk to you soon!

Hello everyone! I'm new to the DisBoard and have been enjoying reading all the posts... lots of great info and some comments had me laughing... So we're all about 4 months out... I'm SOOOO excited. This will be my second cruise & attending w. my hubby, mom & dad. I've been so chatty about the cruise I think I'm starting to get on *some* people's nerves... I believe there is probably no better place to get some of my excitement out than this forum. This cruise has been planned for 17 months and over the course of that both hubby and I lost our jobs & we were at risk of having to cancel... thankfully, things have turned around and (crossing fingers, knocking on wood and all that stuff...) we're all set. Anybody else so excited they could burst? I love to drink in the whole anticipation of the cruise because once it's here, it ends way too fast!

Hello!

The last Disney Cruise I went on was Nov of 2007. Regarding the weather and keeping in mind I'm from the South, it was decent! The only day I was cold was on Castaway Cay, but that didn't stop me from getting in the ocean and drinking in the wonderfulness that is Castaway Cay. My husband wraped himself up in towels and enjoyed the hammock. Nights were cool and I needed a sweatshirt, but if the sun is out and it's not too windy, it's really nice temperatures.

I'm sure NONE of us have been doing that to our travelling companions!!

Right, Mom? Uh, Mom, I said, Right???

DH says he may need to "sedate" me before this cruise is over! I can't get enough of the planning. So what that there are dishes from dinner to do, or children to bath, or emails to answer. My cruise buds have posted and to me there is nothing more! Sick I know...

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't checked in lately, but I have had some serious highs and lows over the last few weeks. I'll start with the highs - DMIL was contacted by an agency that finds people who have inherited money. She received a very sizable sum of $$$ from some distant aunt she never knew and decided to donate $5000 to my DH. Can we say FREE Disney cruise . Then I was able to convince DH to add 3 days at POFQ pre-cruise. Trying to decide if MVMCP is worth it or not - any input would be great. Now for the low - My best friend's husband committed suicide last Saturday leaving behind my friend and their 5 year old twin daughters! I have been dealing with that the last ten days. I am trying my hardest to convince her to join us on our cruise because she REALLY needs something happy right now. Please keep her family in your prayers. Have a great week everyone!

FE - if we're doing FE for kids only, do I just get a FE with one pocket with DD's name? Or do I get one with all our names since we're participating in the SM?

Put multiple names on it!!! To tell you the truth, I'm getting a bit confused at the FE as to which cabins will be kid only and which will be kid and adult so don't be surprised if you find trinkets in your pocket too. Like I keep saying, it'll be birthday party goodie bag type stuff from me so you probably won't even want it... but you can donate it to your DD.

Not at all sick... makes perfect sense to me!!!!!!

Great news about the extra $$$. Fantastic!!!

What a complete bummer about your best friend's husband. OMG! I cannot even begin to imagine what she's going through. Yes, she really needs something happy right now but quite honestly, I don't know if even a cruise would help. I cannot even imagine all the things she must be feeling. Yes, she and her family are definitely in my prayers!!!!

It's supposed to debut in October!! Hmmm... I hope it doesn't replace one of the current shows. I had a hard enough time letting go of Hercules!

I wouldn't mind at all if it replaced that Twice Charmed or whatever it was. I would much rather see a show with an original plot rather than a rehash of a straight-to-DVD film. This one (whatever the name might be) looks like it could be pretty good with all the villians in it. Hmmmmm.... at least it gives us something else to talk about.

This is the bridal party.

Thanks! And the best part is I now have a daughter! She is an awesome young lady that I hope has the courage to tell her MIL if she becomes one of those MIL's we all don't like.

Sorry they are so large, I will see if I can't get them smaller and post a few more.

 

[sandiegosusie]

Hey there, y'all!

I just wanted to pop in and let the new folks know about a fun little game we have going on over on the "private" board. It's called the acronym game and it's lots of fun. Basically, someone posts a sentence... then the next person uses the last word of the sentence for the first letter of each word in the new sentence. So, for instance, if someone posts:

Shipboard, everyone really enjoys nearly insane togetherness. Yippee!

Then the next person might post:

Y'all, I'm peeing pants. Excitement enlarging!!!

Then the next person posts a sentence where each word starts with a letter of "enlarging" (in order).

Hope y'all come on over there and join us. It's a lot of fun!!!!

A proud mom and the groom:

SD#2 & #3 and now you now what I look like.

 

[mousemom11]

Congratulations! What a fine looking family you have! I love the picture of you and DS #2. He's got a great grin in that pic.

If only I had the guts to post what DS#1 was doing when DH was taking those pictures. He was late and in his boxers (red no less, thank heaven the pants were black - or maybe matching his vest and tie???). Boys will be boys, no matter what the age.
