12/10/05 ~ Anyone else cruising.....??

[lbgraves]

I got DH's shirt at Kohl's. It is listed under woven shirts. They had a white one but that had black guitars embroidered on it. LOL! The black one laces up at the neck.

Just got back from Party City. DD got a cute pirate costume for Halloween. We also got a pirate choker necklace, two gold earrings and some black nailpolish. She is set for the cruise now too. I was looking at the adult costumes. I didn't get one though. I think I will keep trying to find a peasant top for myself with either a black skirt or black capris.

Lisa, I saw that shirt at Kohl's online. I think I may get it for DH. Do you know if they run small or not? What kind of pants is your DH going to wear?

 

[lillygator]

not sure how much you want to spend on a shirt....

I'm so excited...I just switched my reservation to the Poly for 4 nights then 4 nights at POFQ..instead of all 8 nights at POFQ....I have always wanted to stay at the Poly Have any of you stayed there? Which longhouse is best? 6 more days and I can do my ressies too!!!!

 

[cristit14]

That's great Donna! I have never stayed at the Poly, but I would really like to some day!

Vanessa, Those are some really cute pirate tops. I am not sure that I want to spend that much on a top I wouldn't wear again though. I will bookmark it though just in case I change my mind.

I can't wait!!!!!!

 

[lillygator]

ok - so has anyone seen an infant GIRL pirate costume? I need something for Haley!! and - no I have no working sewing machine!

 

[cristit14]

Okay, I went to SuperTarget today and I bought the white peasant top that is in this link

I am not sure I like the way the sleeves fit though. When I was looking online to show you the link I found this top

http://www.target.com/gp/detail.htm...0?_encoding=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B0009K5P0Q

What do you think about either one of those with black capris and maybe a brightly colored scarf around the waist?


Vanessa, I looked at Target and didn't see any infant pirate costumes. It seem like they had some smaller pirate costumes at Party City, but I don't know if they were infant size or not.

 

[MrsMork]

These tops will be great, either of them, with capris and a bright scarf. I like the long sleeve one better myself for a pirate, but either would work and the prices are right.

 

[cristit14]

After I saw the long sleeved one I liked it better too. Now, I will take back the short sleeved one tomorrow and see if they have the long sleeve. If not, I will buy online.

 

[lillygator]

Well I am going to end up buying a costume for myself, but I will wear it on the MNSSHP night, Halloween and the cruise...so I will get good use out of it and then next year at cruise time I can wear it again providing they still have Pirate night! I found a great site that lists all kinds from different stores - now I just have to pick one!

No home game this weekend but DH has a tournament on Saturday....sometimes I would just love to be able to stay home and do nothing!

Hope everyone has a great Friday!

Can you believe it is almost October?

 

[cristit14]

Okay, so I took back the short sleeved peasant top. They didn't have any of the long sleeved ones. On line they only have small and medium and with them being junior sizes those won't work. So, I stopped by Mervyns on the way home and bought this shirt and belt. What do you think?

I could wear it with either the white capris or the khaki ones in the picture. DH will have a black shirt kind of similar on.

Or should I just break down and buy a costume? DH was kind of thinking I should be a tavern wench.

 

[Disney Di]

I like the top & pants. I would just wear that. Those pants look nice oe the white would be just as nice. I plan on wear apair of black capris with some beads that hang on the bottom of my pant leg. There is a site on Ebay that sells Gypsy/renscience type clothes I thought I would purchase a top from them.

My DH & having a disagreement. He seems to think when we go through customs we will need passports at St Thomas. I told him all we need is birth certifictes. We do not need passports unless it is in the year 2006. Which is right?

Thanks Can you believe it is almost time to start packing! I have to admit I have started some of my packing! lol
Bye Disney Di

 

[jordanyosh]

Di,

You are correct about the Birth Certificates....you have until December 31 2006 to get your passport. Passports are always better, but BCs will do. I still use my BC. Will spring for the passport sometime next year.

 

[lbgraves]

I like that top Chrisy! The white pants would look really good with it. I got a long sleeved black top last night on Ebay!!!! This is another one that I was watching for backup for anyone else still looking. It looks cute & depending on how much it goes for, you could cut the skirt off to just use the top with vest. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5617678157&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1

So what are you ladies wearing for shoes with your pirate outfits? I am stumped about what to wear to complete the outfit.

 

[lbgraves]

OK, who is going to be at WDW before the cruise? I need someone to pick up a pin for DD at the DTD pin shop. I was helping her rearrange her lanyard from last cruise & tried to remove her name pin so that we can put it on the one she will use for this cruise. Well...I turned the wrench the wrong way on the locking clasp & the back snapped off. It is one with the princesses on it with the name "Katie." We wont be going until after the cruise this time & I don't remember them being on the ship. TIA!

 

[Donnaksmj]

We will be there! Just remind me as it gets closer!!!

 

[missmulan]

Lisa, i can also pick one up for you from Disneyland. It's the pink name badge that says "guest of honor" right?? I don't have an AP anymore but many of my friends do and they go every week. I'll just ask them to get one with "Katie" on it and will let you know when I have it in my hands. 'kay?

 

[Disney Di]

I quess tonight is my turn to stay up late or getup ultra early (3:00am) to get my resses in.

We decieded to change our dining from early dining to late dining. We don't have young children & this way we don't have to be rushed on changing after the excursions. That way we can go straight from dinner to deck party's or some of the clubs.

I had not thought about what shoes to wear with my pirate outfit. humm probaby a pair of black shoes. who will be looking at your feet to really notice them at the deck party.

I found a neat tip for those who like to scrapbook. Attatch notebook paper to a mailing envelope(brown ones). You write your Journaling on the paper & put all your saved memorbelia (tickets, receipts...) for that day in the envelope. You need to make one for each day of your trip. When your ready to scrapbook you have everything alltogether.

is getting close. bye Disney Di

Jen!!!! NO!!!!!! It is the regular lanyard pin with the princesses on it & the name on the bottom. We do have the older red guest of honor badges. Thanks if you can get it!

Hey everyone! I have updated the website with the inforamation on the boards about the schedule. WWTBAM is gone now, replaced with a variety act that is currently on board and the kid's final show has been moved to Thursday at 5 with a graduation party in the club on the final night for the kids.

So far we have a 3 pm DIS meet at the Mickey Pool on deck 9 if the weather is good. I guess that we can meet down on deck 3 at the lounge if it is raining or too chilly for the kids to be in the pool? For those who will be in the Port area on Friday night, my family & John's will probably be at the Radisson's pool area around 7 pm so please stop by to say hello. The pirate deck party will be at 9:45 on deck 9 at the Goofy Pool. If alot of us are dressing up I suggest that we get a group shot in the atrium...maybe inbetween seatings so that everyone would be in the general area?
