By the way Lisa - The "special" gifts arrived today - So Cool - I know that this was recently posted but I know its way back now ....How would I send a Box to the ship ??? Sorry for having to bring it up again but the weight would kill me on my allowance for my bags on the airplane so I need to ship ahead ..

IDK if this has been answered during the day so if not the info is on this thread.

me too!!!! I am bad about getting things put away....just like my twin. But when they do finally hit the closet...my DS's hangers are all white, DD's are all pink and ours are green.

AH!!! Someone who understands my obsession!

My loveseat is cleared off!! Previously had four households worth of unmatched socks...and no I did not match them, simply put them in a laundry basket.

 

[lbgraves]

8-tracks....funny. Reminds me...my GF (now passed) used to have an adapter in his car that would change his cassette deck into an 8-track player...talk 1 step forward, 2 steps back...

LOL! The record player that I have kept in the garage has an 8 track in it.

 

[lbgraves]

Lisa or someone came up with the idea for MICKEYPLAN since I complained about not being able to keep up with everyone and therefore not knowing what was being planned. How things have changed....

Yes, I figured that if you searched for that word you could skip all of the discussion posts & just read the important stuff.

The more I think about this exploding fluff the more it has me concerned. How many of you are bringing fluff on the cruise? Are you on Deck 6? Is the aftermath going to look like the end of Ghostbusters when the Stay Puff Marshmellow Man explodes? Is exploding fluff covered by travel insurance?

WE NEED DETAILS KIM!!!!!

LOL! In almost 40 years of eating fluff I have never known of another experience of an explosion of said condiment.

Some of very best friends are coming tonight from Norfolk which is nice but it because we are going to the funeral of one of our retired Officers tomorrow.

to get through a challenging day

 

[lbgraves]

Can you 7 day vets just take my hand and walk me through this process. The overwhelming not enough time in the day, what the heck am I doing feeling is starting to take over. Am I feeling buyers remorse now (this could have gone towards a car) or ineptitude? Can I navigate all of this stuff. Is DH going to have a good time? Are DD's expectations of the club too high since she loved the 4 day club? Is Shutters worse on a 7 day (I felt closed in on the 4 day)? Should I keep the Spa treatments or try to get a deal on one of the Cozumel days? If a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound?

Carla it will be OK! Just think how lucky you guys are to have so many vets to help you thru it. One thing you have to remember is YOU CANNOT DO IT ALL!!!! If you try to you WILL be misserable, tired, & cranky.

Don't try to do it all! Just have fun being there.

Some more DCL trivia for you guys....

On 12/09/2006 the craziest group of cruisers ever boarded the Disney Magic and the ship was never quite the same again!

TOO TRUE!!!!

 

[lbgraves]

Great! Don't expect a Chipmunk to keep it and mail it to you though....I knew that particular Chipmunk very, very well. Sadly is no longer a Chipmunk. But she did say the characters love to sign storybooks rather then just the autograph books.

Angie, would it work better for them if I used post it notes to mark the beginning of each story & who needed to sign it?

 

[brack]

Everybody must be doing "catchup" tonight

 

[brack]

I like the idea of the storybook for autographs. Our last cruise I had the pillowcase signed.

 

[lbgraves]

I was just sent the video from TMZ of Michael Richards (Kramer) rant. Seeing it is worse. He must have been on some serious drugs or something. What the heck was he thinking?! But then apparently he was not since he's in the position he is now. Watching, first I thought it was a gag (not my humor but a gag nevertheless) and then when things escalated I thought ok-ay this isn't funny.

I saw most of it last night & it was terrible. He was just wrong in so many ways!

 

[Jhalkias]

John does this mean I have to wear the mirrors on my toes or just bring a pocket full of quarters and accidently drop them on the floor

*Disclaimer* I have never done this or would never do this , Plus dressed as CJS it can be like being Tom Jones ...only some of you will get that ....

Yeah, I got it . . .

Kim, what are you going to donate to Tom, Todd, I mean CJS?

Grumpy?
Doc?
Sneezy?

Shipping supplies for the school children - question

Was there a particular number of things we were supposed to bring. I know its not mandatory or anything I just haven't done it yet and planned to buy things this week.

There are no requirements for this. Anything and everything is welcomed.

 

[lbgraves]

I travel for work so this is a whole different bag of worms...

What is the secret for packing formal clothes. You can't ship those ahead right (also if it were lost that would be a bummer). I've never had anything cleaned on the ship either. I figured I would unpack the formal stuff and send it out to be steamed or something??? Is that what people do?

I got bags from the dry cleaner's and put the dresses in that. It tends to help keep them from getting wrinkled up.

It is so great that after a bad day at the office, I can always count on Becka to make me

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Yes, and it has to be quart size ziploc. The lotions have to be 3 oz or less.

So I can carry on my makeup and stuff but it has to be in a ziploc bag?

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

I give up...I am not dieting and worrying about my weight until after the cruise. Just not going to happen...I am way stressed and way excited.

V - I raise my glass of wine to ya!!!! ahhhh! That's my attitude...probably b/c I've just been way too stressed and lazy to diet. I'm a 100% stress eater....and lately the office has been unbearable!!

Cheers!
...insert wine glass for coffee cup!
