Yay......

That Ivory soap was getting old..... I thought the ships were already upgrading towels though. The Wonder had those newer larger ones in the baths in Dec 2004.

 

[lbgraves]

DH just called!!!!!! I didn't get to talk to him much because the kids were....well being kids when the phone rings. ARG!!! Anyhow, he will be picking us up at the airport tomorrow.

The sky has opened up here. I can't see the house across the street at the end of the cal de sac.

 

[MrsMork]

Saw this for Dr Hugs.

Pj

Yep, that would be him!

 

[MrsMork]

Oh, body butter and real conditioner! And big towels! But you know, I will really, really miss the smell of the Minnie Lotion. Do you think they will keep that?? I still have a couple of packets. MMMMMMMMM love that smell.

Hi!

Sorry I have not been around today. I have been a little busy. Aaron is still alive in case anyone is wondering. He just ticked me off last night and it was really the wrong time of the month to do that! BTW Lisa – that commercial you e-mailed us was well timed! LOL!

I hope everyone’s travel plans go smoothly the next several days. I know weather issues always add more stress that is just not needed.

I am thrilled with the news about new beds/bedding/soaps, etc. The bed was already pretty comfortable but it sounds like the change will make them even more comfortable. The shampoo, etc. before was really poor quality and I am glad they are finally making a change there. I didn’t take shampoo with me last time and I really regretted it. I knew they provided shampoo and I thought it would be decent quality stuff especially with the price we all pay.

 

[MrsMork]

Really agree about the shampoo, but what about the Minnie Lotion?? I love that stuff and horde what I can save up and bring home.

 

[becka]

I also was going to mention that I don't think the TOP thing should be that big of a deal. There are just too many of them. The '00 posts are more special because they are more rare!

 

[lbgraves]

The kids are watching Brother Bear 2 & there is a preview for Cinderella 3!!!! It sounds alot like the plot of Twice Charmed.

 

[lbgraves]

Kristina...DH said that he wants to take the kids to the science museum on Friday afternoon. Do you know what he is talking about? I found this.

[lbgraves]

Oh I really hope that is it!!! I just explained the planetarium to him and showed him the presentations they do and he is so excited! I think that we could just sit in there the entire day & he would be happy.

Angie, if you run out before the cruise let me know, on our last cruise the stateroom host left two every morning and every night. I kept putting them in a bowl I had on the desk, so he could see them but, he kept leaving them, lol. I also have daisy shampoo, that stuff is horrible.

Pj

 

[MrsMork]

I also got two every day and have a few left. I only use it once in awhile when I need to "smell the cruise" on a bad day. I have the Daisy shampoo just as another Disney prop in my bathroom. It was not the best.

Thats fun news

 

[MrsMork]

Lisa, have you heard the scoop on the "new version" of the Castaway Club reception? I'm intrigued.

 

[lbgraves]

Angie, I thought that the person was confused between that and the DVC thing.

I just printed out our Etickets!!! The kids are getting ready to go to bed then I need to get all the rebates out for the month...filled out & scanned so I can mail the WG & do the others online. I wish everyone did them that way!!! There is still one load of laundry to dry. I will have three hours in the morning to finish things up around here. I have a BIG bag of startbursts for the kids for take off & landing since they don't chew gum.

STARBURSTS!! I want to fly with you! Nummy!

 

[MrsMork]

They are talking about the free drinks and the foo foo drinks for the kids, so I thought it was CC reception. DVC only had coffee and tea and sometimes sodas. Not that coffee, tea and soda is a bad thing. We try to make it to that and enjoy the coffee and see it we can win a prize. Got a nice towel last year.

 

[elaineteresa]

I'm not sure that you can call the individual gift shop but now that you know which one carries it the park purchasing group should be able to call the resort and get it for you.

we have the Mickey one - my son gets a kick out of wearing his. I have the blue headband with feather too. racking up those Disney visa points LOL.
