I REALLY want us all on WLE to get moved up! I am hoping with the final payment soon some people will be canceling their trip which might make more room in early dining!

I switched to late yesterday so there is one open! :teeth:

Reading about all of the stuff you guys have gotten together has really made me feel WAY behind! I am in no way a planner. DH is even worse!

Get ready now, Caroline! It is almost time to address those Christmas cards! Yes...I am serious. You don't go on a cruise this time of year with little to no time between when you get home & Christmas without being organized.

Then it will be to wrap everything...pack up the summer clothes & stuff the ziplock bags with the kid's outfits.

I am printing my address labels on the computer. I am taking stamps and return address labels with me. We are going to get a cruise pic turned into a Christmas Card. I figure one afternoon while the kids are sleeping I will get them ready to mail. I will mail them from FL. Something different this year.

klineyqueen · Jul 21, 2006

We are going to our cabin this weekend. It should be relaxing. It is a pain to pack everything for one little weekend. Oh well.

Monday I start a class. I will go M-Th for 3 weeks. It is only 3.5 hrs a day. My DMom will watch the kids. After this class I only have one more and my Masters Degree will be complete! Yippie! I will really be partying about that!

Yes , indeed we did take an Adult bowtie and cummerbund took it to an alteration shop and had them convert it to a boys bowtie and cummerbund ..it turned out very well ..
see

See - no "fabric glue" required!!! :rotfl:

I could manage to drive to an alteration shop but that would have to be the limit for me.

And thanks to this you have the story behind the ANTI-CRAFT....don't you feel special. :goodvibes

Todd - I showed DH those Gator boots....and he said do they have a size 12 --- luckily I was able to say nope!! Only one size left since they are on SALE for $800!!! I've never spent $800 on a pair of shoes and I can't even believe he wasn't batting an eyelash....he then proceeded to tell me how a good pair of regular boots costs $400+, guess I know nothing in the boot department...I am a toeless, backless strappy shoe kind of gal myself!

Everyone does seem to have a lot done! Lisa - are you doing the table toppers?

Do we need anything? Anything I can do?

DSharpe · Jul 21, 2006

Whew - you guys are hard to keep up with! Sorry for posting all in 1 post here...also typing fast to try and remember everything I wanted to say...and I keep remembering more as I type, so this is getting lengthy!

shirts - saw these online - very cute - why lime green?
any ides for 'create your own' wording?

packets - booked with TA, deposit only, no packets - will be calling her today! LOL

christmas cards - what a wonderful idea to take labels/stamps - definitely will do, too!

ocd planner - way behind, too!! - I tend to research/plan/obsess, too! and compared to all the veterens here, I am waaaay behind as well!! But I sure do have alot of info printed out!! lol

late seating - our group of 24 has requested late seating - I do need to call the TA and make sure that she has us all linked together and also requested the 8 pm seating. (we wanted late, but 8:30 seems too late). I'm assuming that since I booked with TA, all communications have to go through her?

kids activities - Last swim lesson today/swim meet tomorrow - golf lessons next week - I, too, feel like all I've done is taxi DS around town!! LOL August is activity-free! YEA!

Insurance - what is the disadvantage of going with DCL's? It looked to me that the price was about the same when I got an online quote, but I didn't dig too deep.

Sports - I can talk sports! LOL DH is a HOKIE, too, so we follow them and all the PRO's with Hokies (Atlanta esp.) and also the Colts 'cause I'm a TN gal (Peyton)...baseball Yankees and Orioles...well, we watch almost everygame anyway!! LOL

Oh - and this is our 2nd cruise (1st was honeymoon on NCL) but our first family and Disney cruise

GoofyFD · Jul 21, 2006

Yad Yad Yad....I'm so out of the loop. I don't think I will never catch up with you guys. Have a great day today!!! :thumbsup2

Years ago DISsers were looking for a way to help identify one another in the parks. Lime green was the color selected because it is easy to spot and it was not a hugely popular color at the time. It stuck and now the official DIS color is lime green.

If you go to insuremytrip.com you can purchase the exact same Access America plan that Disney uses for less money. Also if you are flying and you did not book with Disney's air program having your own trip insurance will allow you to cover the flight.

I am not a huge sports fan but I do love tennis although I don't get to watch it much. I tend to try to watch the 4 majors but that is about all. The US Open is coming up at the end of the summer and that is one of my favorites.

DSharpe · Jul 21, 2006

Thanks Becka - we should use insuremytrip - we booked our own flights - didn't even think of that! Although, we are flying in 2 days early.

I like to watch the major tennis events, as well. Oh, and golf, too. We got to go to the open in Pinehurst last year, and it's more interesting to watch on tv now, having seen some of the players up close and personal!

lbgraves · Jul 21, 2006

Also, ask for access america's AAA family plan...kid's are covered free.

You have to call for that quote.

You will have to make your dining request thru your TA. Right now I have requested the 8 pm rotation for those of us linked with late dining. I would not be able to have your entire group of 24 seated together if you linked with the group. The largest group that I can do is 18.

Lisa - Did you request a time for the early dining group as well?

lbgraves · Jul 21, 2006

Yes, I have requested 6 pm seating for the early group.

lbgraves · Jul 21, 2006

V, PJ is working on the table toppers. She has the tshirt design on her system & will modify it for us.

That was the time I was most hoping for. We had 5:30 last cruise and it was just a little too early.

becka · Jul 21, 2006

Everyone run for cover :duck:

Elphie's BACK!!! :teeth:

I don't quite understand why she thinks people need to debate the formal night dress code. :confused3

I guess until everyone on the boards agrees that wearing whatever you want on any night is a-OK we should debate it.

BuzzBoyMom · Jul 21, 2006

OMG!!!!!

I was down in DC on business this week and look at you guys...I must have almost 60 pages to catch up on.

well...better get started!!
