11/22/08 Thanksgiving 2008 cruise thread. Double Dipping Travelling Turkeys!

[cruisecrzy]

So another one of our friends was able to secure time off so they booked as well

Jason
Marian
Kathleen 7

They are booked Cat 6 and late seating just as we are.

They too would like to join in the "FE Game" if you will have all of us.

So we are a total of 5 staterooms. 3 will be right next to each other suuposedly on Deck 6 as of now and the other 2 are on deck 2 as far as we know.

They used to be able to just be in the stack as if they reached the age already. But I do not want to tell you for sure. However, one of our friends used to be the Stack Manager and now he has one of those fancy white uniforms. I will email him and ask. they do not check email a lot so it may take awhile for the answer. But it will be as official as one can get.


I hope your birthcertificates came.

Thanks, I'll let DS know.


I got my BC at 2pm with the regular mail and jumped in the car to go apply for my passport. It took less time then I thought, so I'm at the library near DS's school, wasting some time before I have to pick him up.

Hi Everyone,

Judy, we're freezing up here too. I don't think it got over 51 yesterday and was raining most of the day. Our pellet stove has been running a lot!

Lora, hope things are going better!

I finished my crooked FE! It's a sad, sad thing! And finished putting together most of my prizes! I took my dd to pick out a dress and of course, she picked a green velvet fur trimmed number... I was trying to encourage a jumper, but nope, not happening. She'll wear it to NYC to see The Little Mermaid on Broadway a week prior to the cruise, and then have it for formal night and the holidays.

Yesterday I applied shipboard credit to our acct using some rewards points my husband received through work, and called to confirm our hotel for the
20th and 21st. I saw that there is now a room only discount and I was able to have it applied and saved $90!! We'll be at Pop for two nights prior to sailing and only paid $132.74!

It is finally starting to feel real. We are all really starting to get excited, and I'm starting to feel stressed to get everything in order.

Oh, quick question if anyone knows. On our last trip, we purchased the ship ornament. Do they have any other DCL related ornaments? I always buy an ornament for each of my kids for Christmas and I thought it would be nice to get them on the ship. Maybe I'll even brave the line to have them signed by the captain.

Any word on the bracelets? I'll check back in soon.

So reading all these pages is giving me something to do. I work on the computer in the afternoons. This gives me something to do while I wait for my students to IM me questions or submit work for grading.

Shell,
They usually have ornamanets with the year on them. We have several (maybe one for each year we went) and I know whe have a smoke stack one.

And you will be in my neck of the woods for the two days before the cruise. We live about 15min from Pop century and right by the Airport. So if you fly in and drive or bus to Pop Century we will waive as you pass by


Sandy,
Question sent along with my own fo DD.

 

[seadooken]

Why not! And I want fries with that!!! And a whiskey and soda with an umbrella. And if they have Molson I'll wash it all down with one of those too. Can I see your desert menu please?

My good friend and co-worker Harry is leaving today for Myrtle Beach. I can't wait to fly south. It's cold (brrrrr) up here. Lows in the 40's and highs in the 50's. There are actually people walking around saying "Isn't the weather beautiful today?" Yeah, if you're a penguin.

I'll send a little Disney Magic your way, and it will be 78 tommorow.

Ken -
You're very funny. But you must be good luck and really have some Disney Magic too. I just watched the local weather and we're heading back up to the 70's!! Low 70's but I'll take it over the 50's any day! Thanks for the Magic!

Is anyone else entering the "What will you celebrate?" contest? Every morning I go on the site and break my 4 balloons and every day I lose. All I'm trying to win is a pin!!!

Yikes! Just saw 2 counties not far from us are under a FROST ADVISORY. That'll kill any plants that are left. I guess fall is here and winter's on its way.

Stacie isn't momtosupers any more. She's now twobyfour! She has to change her name periodically. I think she's in the witness protection plan too!!!
Seriously, she is really twobyfour now. I would try to PM her there.

Shell -
Are your leaves changing yet? Ours have turned a little yellow and some are starting to fall (mostly from our Beech tree). I do love the smell of fallen leaves.

Okay thanks. I did PM TwobyFour yesterday. someone else gave me the momstosupers one. So I guess I have all bases coverd now. thanks for the info.

Hi, I have the bracelets

The only thing is that the adult ones are a brighter green so I think they are making me more of them but I don't know that anyone will notice.

The font is something Disney, kind of hard to see but I'll take a picture later and try to post it (I have no idea how to do it but I'm sure I can figure it out).

Had to get up at the crack of dawn today to send DD9 and DH to run in Race for the Cure this morning. I am walking in it later.

I'm sorry! I gave you the momtosupers name for Stacie! I keep forgetting that she is with the CIA! I can't quite keep up with her!

Happy4Disney,

I assume you wanted some directions to post a picture

1. take picture
2. Once it is on your computer go to www.photobucket.com and set yourself up an account
3. upload your picture to your photobucket account.
4. Copy the IMG code that the picture gives you and paste it into your post.


If you nee better directions or one with a visual let me know. I think I have them in snag it.

Disneypoor,
No problem at all. Those things happen when you dealing with spies and operatives

If you are having trouble, I would be happy to do it for you. Let me know and I'll PM my email address to you and you can email me the picture.

Let us know how we can pay you.

Oh yeah SEVEN weeks from today . . . . . . . .

What is the "What will you celebrate" contest? Maybe I could get a little good luck there

Same old Saturday activities and then I need to go pick the apples off of our 3 apple trees and see what I can do with them.

I'd like to fit a little scrapbooking into my day, but will have to see about that.

Have a great day everyone.

Lora

 

[lexandme]

Good morning! I have really been up since 5:30 but I decided to clean and talked to Plutoluvsfifi (Linda). We are making plans to meet at the "What will you celebrate" tour in Pgh on Monday.
We're close to sailing now kids. Seven (7) weeks from right now I'll be waiting for the bus at AKL! Many of you will already be at the port. I keep telling myself "get those FE things done!" I really have to finish them up now.
Going out today to get DS some more shorts. I hope I can find them! Winter coats and wool are all over the department stores up here. I also need to buy him a nice pair of khakis. I told him I was buying them his size and he had a breakdown. He likes them 3 sizes too big so they hang down over his butt. I'm just about done with that look, can't wait until he grows out of it! He likes his t-shirts to go down to his knees so you can't even see his shorts most of the time. What a fashion statement!

It's the 2009 Disney promotion. You can go to the main Disney website for info and to enter the contest. It's basically free admission on your birthday and the opportunity to plan celebrations (spend more money). They are doing a road tour and will be in Pgh on Monday. I'll let you know how it goes. How's Kenna? Is she home from the hospital?

 

[TwoByFour]

Lora--Hope things are going better for you guys.

Ken--Glad to hear you're still going, you had me worried.

cruisecrzy--I did get your PM, I'll PM you the link to the website. The official fish extender exchange is closed. If you want to hang up FEs, I'm sure some people will have extra stuff that they will share.

Speaking of FEs, I still need a bunch of cabin numbers so that I can finish the list. I hate sending out nagging PMs so please let me know what cabin you're in.

It's been a long week here. I have something going on with my shoulder/back. I've been to the chiropracter three times. Today is the first day I've felt any better.

Then to finish off the week our dog (who is more trouble than the 2yo) got into a bottle of Tylenol at 4:00 yesterday, she popped it open and had them all over the bed. Called the vet who said "bring her in". Not what I was planning for last night. Long story short, we don't think she ate any but it was 1 1/2 hours I won't get back.

Tonight is DS's first marching band contest. They perform at 9:15 tonight. The band director must not know that I turn into a pumpkin at 9:00.

Thanks to everyone who has voted on baby names. We're still no closer to a name now than we were before.

 

[J&ADisneyMom]

Michelle, thanks for the ornament info. I'll be sure to wave as we drive by but I doubt you'll be up. We don't land until midnight! Fortunately the kids will have Friday morning to sleep in and get ready for MVMCP. :0)

Stacie, I have a dog like yours. She gets into all sorts of trouble and usually runs off as we're getting ready to go somewhere. I thought by now (she's 4) she would be settling down. No such luck. Glad your dog is OK, though. Oh, our anniversary is Oct 26 as well. We'll be celebrating 12 years this year. Two years ago, we renewed our vows on the Magic for our anniversary. Our stateroom number is 2028. I think it was put on one part of the website, but not on the info for the FE exchange.

Judy, yup, we're getting lots of change now. We have a camp near Lake George and they're much further along up there. I still think it will be a week or more until we reach peak here, but it's really pretty. I love this time of year, with the exception of the cold. My dh is searching for pellets today. He didn't listen when I told him last May that we needed to pre order them. Now, every place around us is out. Thank goodness it's not our only heat source.

Happy4Disney, thanks for doing the bracelets. I can't wait to see them. Good luck on your walk.

[rlcook]

Stacie,

We have 2 rooms. 7619 and 7621.

As of right now, DCL has us set up as 7619--me, Melinda and Mackenzie; and in 7621 Bob and McKenna.

We'll probably flip-flop. I may put Melinda and Mackenzie in one room and Bob Kenna and I in the other. However I would like one night with my husband alone HAHAHAHA

Thanks for everyones prayers and thoughts. Kenna is feeling better and actually has her appetite back. That a 29 pound 3 year old can have.

Okay well my group decided we will at least distribute stuff. Unfortuneately because of some issues three of our people had with work we could not book prior to October. We all went out last night and bought FE things since we had not heard an official word and we were all at a Disney Liquidation sale in Celebration. So we will distribute if someone gives me a list when everything is done.

I was looking at the itinerary you have on the webiste. I do think you may have pirate night on the wrong night. I believe Pirate night on the Double Dip is night 4 (Cozumel-Tuesday) not Wednesday. So I just thought I would share. I make no guarantees that I am right, but just thought I would share.
