Linda Babe-Hope you are feeling better soon, and take advantage of getting rest over the next few days!

Well, we finally got our flights booked and I have no complaints, I was so worried from what everyone had said about booking with Disney. We have an 8:00am flight and get to orlando around 2:00 only one layover (as expected) no direct flights from ND, I was worried we were going to get 2 or more layovers. The flights back are also good. Now since we get in around 2:00 wondering if we should plan something or just hang out at the Hyatt?

We only have 3 more sailaways until it is our turn!:banana::banana::banana:

Thanks for the well wishes. I already feel better - after 2 naps today. That must have been magic in that little bag they dumped in me.

You get in the day before the cruise? Or the day of? If it's the former, you're golden - check in to the Hyatt and relax. If it's the latter - you better beat feet to port if you intend to make sailaway!
 
I vote for the NAP, Gail! The man won't want you running the vacuum with the tv going.

Exactly - so I have napped and the vac can wait. Early night here as we are heading out to Alma in the morning to watch Drew play soccer. I purchased a new camera but it isn't here - I had looked forward to practicing with it in the daylight but not to be - at least not to be tomorrow.
 
I just received a package from Oriental Trading to supplement the extra birthday party favors from years past and loaded them into a suitcase. They filled up an entire carry-on luggage:eek:!!

I too am confused about the FE:confused3. We're giving FE gifts to kids only so the adults only cabins wouldn't get one and cabins with multiple kids will get more than 1. Am I doing it correctly? Ours won't have receipient's names either.

Glad to hear that you are feeling better! A trip to the ER is never any fun. Relax, nap, and let your body heal so that you will be at your best for the cruise.

Since your goal is to just give to the kids, then just put 1 in each child's FE pocket. No need to label them with names.

I printed out our door magnets today. They came out beautifully! I printed them out on the Avery (matte finish) magnet paper. No smudging at all.

My FE gifts are for adults and each cabin will get one, no labels.
 
Good morning all,

Once again it's been FARRRRRR too long since I've been on here. My only excuse is that I spend most evenings driving around looking for properties and listening to the latest Dan Brown novel. I'll tell you what... people down here are weird. Enjoy the world class customer service you get at Disney because that other theme park is more indicative of what people are like here in Orlando. The real estate agent that I found that I thought was gonna be good turned out to be a dud once I told him we were not interested in living in Deltona (1hr drive to work each way each day!). He said he was still interested in showing properties managed by other agencies as he still gets a cut of the fee, but I haven't heard from him in days. So..... I went and got the phone numbers off the two places that I've narrowed it down to and I'm visiting one of them today. But I'm still driving around every night because I hate making decisions like this on my own and I keep thinking that if I just keep looking that "perfect" place will show up.

Because I know if I don't find it, KC's gonna have a fit.

Not! He's a cool guy, really... I just like teasing him. But I do hate making this kind of decision on my own because I hope I'm not putting him in a place he hates.

I know I'll be glad when this "where are we gonna live" thing is figured out so I can then get the kids registered for a school, get cable and internet set up and then focus on the cruise!!!!!

Just freaks me about about all the deer here - and the fact that they can't look before crossing.

How massively inconsiderate of them!

Today is Dimples' bearthday. She turns 5 for the 4th time.

What an adorable page!!!!!!! Please share some of your cruise pages after the cruise because I'd LOVE to see them.

All I really need is an outfit, a swimsuit, and some $$ for the bar, right? :woohoo:

That's what I keep telling myself when I think of all the things that haven't gotten done.

I'm confused (so what's new?). My FE is one per cabin. In looking at the spreadsheet, it says 37 cabins are participating (based on the column "Enter 1 if anyone in the cabin is participating in Fish Exchange. Enter 0 if no one is." However, I kept in everyone who said yes, they were participating in the previous column. That gives me 46 cabins. Some folks said they're not participating, but put a number in the next column, or vice versa. What numbers is everyone going with for a "per cabin" gift?

I think I'll be going with whatever the higher number is and then bring a few extras. I'm sorry there's such confusion... I thought it was fairly simple directions but it doesn't seem to have been, does it?

BTW.... does anyone still need the numbers tallied? I noticed most are looking directly at the spreadsheet and now that the totals are listed there at the top y'all might not need it. And I noticed the past few times I did it the numbers aren't changing all that much. So I don't know if the "juice is worth the squeeze" of me listing it again. But if anyone would find it helpful, just let me know. It doesn't take but a few minutes.

Your right...we are anti Yankee fans!!!!

Awwwwww.... and I liked you sooooo much. :rotfl2:

Well, yesterday didn't turn out quite the way I planned. Spent 8 hours in the ER. Thought I might have the flu, but apparently the brochitus I had back in march never really left and chose yesterday to cause me a big problem.

Hope you're feeling better!!! We were going to get the kids' seasonal flu shots this week but then I remembered EM#2's church trip this weekend and figured it would be kind of rotten if he got sick during the trip. So we put it off. Might get them next week, but with us getting this close to the cruise I just don't know........ another tough decision. At least KC can help make this one.

Okay, time for me to catch up on a few more emails. Later this morning I get to meet MsTxMom at Kona's for breakfast. I'm REALLY looking forward to it. And then after that I'm going to check out the flea market they've supposedly put in at the location of the old Dolly's Dixie Stampede and maybe check out the outlet shops. Still looking for a bathing suit. Tried to find one over here and figured with it being the end of the season and all I should be able to pick something up on sale. Not to be though. The only one's I've found that are large enough are the two piece kind that have the long top ... you know the ones that should look like a one piece until the top slides up over my belly ... um, no... I'll keep looking thank you.
 
Good Morning, Denise! GLAD you stopped by - we miss you!

Are you looking for an apartment, or a house? Is Maitland in the direction you're looking for?

You might love the two piece - it sure is easier when you need a potty stop. lol It killed me to have to throw my two piece lands end suit into the box when I shrank out of it. It NEVER rode up because the top was fairly loose. The new one is tighter and rides up in the water, but I just give it a yank before I get out, lol.

I have albums from previous cruises, but they're all 12x12, which have to be scanned in two pieces and I haven't figured out how to "stitch" successfully. Dimples first bearthday was a digital page by a friend, so it can be any size wanted. I'm bringing her little album to show a friend on the previous cruise who is in it. She would be thrilled to share it with you, too.

Have FUN at breakfast! (and remember to ask mstxmom what character she's wearing today!)
 
I'll have to look and see where Maitland is. I'm trying to stay in Seminole county because I hear the schools here are better than the surrounding counties. Of course, if EM#1 doesn't do better at his schoolwork then it doesn't really matter, does it? :rotfl2::rotfl2:

I may check on the 2 piece. Yes it definitely would make it a lot easier when I have to take a potty break! And I expect to be taking LOTS of those with all the drinking I plan on doing!! :rotfl2::rotfl2:

I thought the "what character are you wearing" questions for MsTxMom didn't start until she got back tomorrow? I thought about saying something to her but I don't want to ruin the surprise either.
 
30 days out was when it started. But "WE" won't be able to ask her until she gets home and on the computer.
 
Inconsiderate deer Denise - you bet! We have totaled two cars with those dang animals. And with it being rut - it just makes them crazier. But, I guess if I had some crazed male chasing me I might run out in traffic as well. Good thing DH doesn't read the boards, he might think we need to test the theory!

You get in the day before the cruise? Or the day of? If it's the former, you're golden - check in to the Hyatt and relax. If it's the latter - you better beat feet to port if you intend to make sailaway!

Guess, I should have clarified, we are flying in on Friday..Disney is flying us in the day before and we will be staying at the Hyatt, taking the transfers the next day. I can not imagine getting in at 2:00 on Saturday I would be extremely stressed! Glad to hear you are feeling better.

Much talk here about swimsuits, I just ordered a one piece from Land's End they have many that are clearanced priced. I can not decide if I like it or not, but I definately like the cover up I bought, It zips in the front and is longer than expected (right at my knees).
 
OK, so I won't say the Yankess won.

So I am getting pumped/nervous about the start of the game(around 7:30 EST) , the car service called and lost our reservation to the airport. It's about the same cost as parking would be, at least it was when we made the reservation that they conveniently lost. :guilty:. So now we are worried we will be left out in the cold. We are working on a plan B to the airport.
I thought the stress was over:sad2:




PS- Glad you are feeling better LindaBabe:thumbsup2

PSS- I didn't mention that the Yankess won, did I:rolleyes1

Now why don't they have an emoticon on here that says BOO YANKEES! I was all set to write a snarky post directed to you Kevin, but then the stupid Yankees went and won. :lmao:

Linda, I agree with you, Lands Ends swim suits rock! Denise, I have a 2-piece tankini from Lands End and I absolutely love it. I ordered the bottom (swim mini) and top in different sizes so I wouldn't have the "riding up" problem with the tankini (I also am pooh sized).

Speaking of which, time to go work out and then continue with top-to-bottom house cleaning.

LOL- how can you not love the classiest team in baseball:confused3;)- I know you all have a crush on Jeter and AROD:love:

Now on to better & more important things, IM going to the Lands End site now and look for men's fashions.
I hate that "riding up" thing too:confused:- Isn't that what we guys call a wedgie :blush:. Hope they make one for us too:) and a 2 piece, time,age, hasn't been kind to me, or maybe I can blame Anheiser Busch :laughing::laughing:, but i guess thats why they make xl t-shirts.
 
Found something better at lands end

Men's Regular Long Sleeve Half-zip Rash Guard Shirt
 
ok, now I guess I have to go to Land's end and buy something. My husband likes their tee shirts, too.

Yep, that's what DH has. Not only will it give your tummy a sleek look, but it will protect you from the sun.

I don't know that the numbers should be tallied again, but do you think we should have a roll call? Or do you feel like people who have decided against going have been good about updating the sheet when their decision was made?

:confused:
