DrHug did the iron ons on our lime green shirts tonight. One task done.

We finally did that this weekend too

Did I mess up....I started completing my docs online. I don't consider them finished....but if I started them, is that why I haven't gotten them in the mail yet? I've emailed my TA but haven't heard back and now I'm beginning to wonder if that's why I haven't seen anything yet. I just don't want to keep running out to the mailbox as it gets colder.

If you already checked in online you will not get DOCs however you should get luggage tags.

So are we drivers special?

Of course we are

oh no! I think I did this, but not sure. I know I didn't put my cc authorization in there.

I have to drag myself out for some errands now. DS has been begging me for a cursive guide. He is trying to teach himself by looking at things that I have written. That wont help him much. LOL!

John had started to fill out the docs on-line but the rest of us did not and we recvd our docs in the mail.

Kendell will occasionally say 'but I don't even know cursive!' - so I finally asked him "are you learning that in school - should you know it? (because if so, this was news to me!)...anyhow, no they weren't!! He just wants to do it!

Good morning Caroline and thanks....but I can never figure out how to get those working!!

Good morning!

Now you know the secret.

So if you filled them out online you dont get the Doc packet ???

 

[lbgraves]

From what everyone has posted on the main board, if you complete check in online you only get the luggage tags. There is no need for the docs because essentially you have what you need to check in when you printed it out from the site.

ROFL! DS says that he wants to learn how to write "fancy."

Ok...this is my 1000th post. Not a big deal for some but a sure sign to confirm my addiction here....BUSTED!

First of all, I wasn't waiting for the perfect post to respond to...although I've been scanning 3,000 of John's posts all morning...just kidding John. But if I have to see the words "Mac", "banana", "speedo", or "Wii" one more time...

I was watching the Travel Channel Disney Cruise Line episode last night....its enough to drive a person crazy. Just nodding my head and saying, "yep, yep" because by now everything on there was sooooo old. Except for the clips about the rainforest spa: No thongs? Guess we need to write the Travel Channel about that - they must have filmed in the wrong place. The show is going to air again Dec 14, 15 and 18th if anyone is interested and...wanted to stay home to watch it.

Only 10 more days of posting left...yes, I will be posting as DW is screaming around the house trying to get the last minute packing done, usually the night before the flight 3 am....she mentioned that we need to start packing; no, we haven't started. I'll wait until the night before - she'll rattle off the list and I'll throw clothes her way; I don't pack, I fill orders...

In a little over a week, I will have to put my memory to the test and try to recognize everyone. I am trying to remember all of the photos that have been posted since I got on here and put the login names to them, then try to remember the real names...its a lot easier when I put the photo to the login, then the login to the name, then the word WANTED and an image of a post office, not sure why that is...but it helps!

Top 20 Things To Look Forward To, or...errrr...Look OUT For.
1. Deck 6 Streaking - Look out! Get in the elevator at 5 and push 7! Do not push 6, nothing to see here...
2. Seeing the black limos and security detachment as Lisa pulls up in front of the terminal....body doubles with clip boards running in all directions trying to disguise the true Leader...
3. The Terminal - Look forward to (Look out, for the DISers who haven't made that "announcement" yet (confession??, whatever). The sea of lime green and the weird looks from non-DISers - not looks of "wow, that's weird" but of "what have we gotten into?" - I think DCL should setup a Cancellations line at the terminal - they'll probably need it. It'll be right next to the DISer UPGRADE line, right?
4. Going "wireless" at Baltimore / Washington International Airport...depends if Karen is in front of or behind me, and how close the exits are - LOOK OUT!
5. Pirate Night - Look Forward to - haven't seen the costume completed and if last nights call from DMIL is any indication...(I thought DW was going to jump through the phone... - LOOK OUT!
6. Dinners - Look forward to....there are going to be so many clueless faces of DHs who are still recovering from the Terminal Incident, as it will be called. I hope I can keep a straight face..And Brunch at Palo...Look forward to....Have to remember to ask for my Soufle without crust!
7. Counting the number of times that the word "crust" is used when ordering at dinner - Look forward to.
8. Reading the extra page of the Navigator, devoted to the DISGeeks...subtitled "Non-Disers Beware" (catchy title)- Look forward to.
9. Meeting all of the twins...ok, first finding out who the twins are..THEN meeting them. Look Forward to.
10. Watching the boarding of the Flying Dutchman, or the capture of CJS as he TRIES to board the boat...umm ship, yelling TAKE WHAT YOU CAN! - Look forward to, in either case.
11. Discussions about poor math during the Remedial Math Class - LOOK OUT!
12. Hearing the master speak, "Stealing Pirates : Prepare to be DISBOARDED", seminar by Brack - Look forward to.
13. Finding out what other DisSurprises DW has in store for me - she planned this trip! - Not sure, guess it would be Look forward to...
14. Bathroom Bat Goes on vacation - Nathan relives the Bathroom bat incident in the Goofy Pool - LOOK OUT!
15. Jeep tour - Look forward to. I think the shear number of jeeps in the group will look like a small army invading the beaches of Cozumel..."They came by boat, so many good Corona's and Margaritas were lost that fateful day...
16. The night at Jelly Rolls - Look forward to. Always.
17. Run for the Hammocks - In this case, look behind to see where John is...OK, Look forward to...Does everyone have their numbers?
18. Seeing the posters of John in the banana suit posted on decks 4 through 9...funny. LOOK FORWARD TO! Wait, did I let that out of the bag, sorry.
19. Heated battles over Mac vs PC at dinner, in the corridors, at the pool, on the beach, in the spa, etc....LOOK OUT...And debates over the need for a tripod and it relationship to the size of equipment and bags, again LOOK OUT.

And, last and most important....

Number 20. Watching Lisa work her Magic for the crowds...LOOK FORWARD TO.

Everyone ready? Ipods ready? Disney Santa hats on? Kids clothes coordinated by color, dining assignment, day of the week, phase of the moon, and alphabetical order? Liquor on board? I repeat, Liquor on board? DIS Goodies in hand? All Wireless items secured? Copy of US Maritime Law in hand? (Caroline, are you sure?)

Great...ready to go! Warning - Loud Noise!

I got tied up there for awhile.

Guys are here putting in the insulation...

Morning Everyone!

I am actually at home today. I feel absolutely miserable and it takes all of my energy to just walk across the room. I had to walk in here to get some more Kleenex so I decided to sit down and DIS for a few minutes until I have enough energy to walk back to the couch.

I don't have a clue what is wrong with me but I have fever, sore throat, congestion, ear pain, headache, general body aches, etc.. and I am starting to wonder if I am getting the flu. I really hope not because I NEED to be better in 10 days when we leave. Plus, I don't want to give this to anyone else in the family.

Alright, it is time for everyone to get out their bubblesuits! All of this sickness is gettting sad...

 

[pyramid2000]

are we having some kind of official DIS departure ceremony for those leaving for the World and exiting the boards prior to the cruise?

any ideas?

this sounds like a plan to hit 70,000. We could all post a good bye as they leave us!!!

I still plan on finding a laptop to borrow from someone for the trip down. How can I stay away for 6 days right before the cruise??

Maybe I can find some libraries that I can stop at on my journey?

 

[lillygator]

I am starting to stress now...

OK --- about these LEIS!
I was putting the magnets in bags last night and thought maybe I should shove the leis in there and hand out at the terminal? IDK...when were we planning on wearing the leis? Boarding? Sail Away? Never?

Andy - CONGRATS ON 1,000 POSTS!!! (Excellent list, too!!)

ps...glad I'm not the only one organizing dinner clothes in this manner

Not really, Caroline... Potomac Mills is down near the AutoTrain point near Lorton, VA. About 30 minutes past DC.

Well, DH wants me to take the Auto train home...
