2/28/04 Magic Western...anyone onboard?

[MamaGriz]

I told the kids we would tape the According to Jim episode and watch it after we get home. The sailaway party looked like fun!We'll live it for a week so we won't be missing anything.

I can't join you in the lime green shirt area, the alien green mickeys on my luggage will be as close as I can get, and a huge step for someone who OD'd on green as a child (green house inside and out).

I'm a little shy, but my son and husband aren't so they'll be tracking you all down in line.

Macker-When is your birthday? Mine is Sunday!

Jeez - the 2nd part of the show is next Tuesday - we'll be in Grand Cayman. DD asked if the ship had "cable" I told her they tow a thousand-mile cable all the way from Port Canaveral to follow the ship around. Maybe satellite? We'll see.

Don't worry, since Disney owns ABC(for now), they have that channel on the boat. So we should be able to see how it all ends.

Just freakin wonderful! We hit the road this afternoon and head for Florida....and we now get to drive smack dab into the middle of a winter storm in So. VA/NC/SC.

I'm not worried about my driving abilities in the cold stuff...just fear the other drivers who drive SUV's in the snow & ice and think they can still drive 70 MPH......BECAUSE they have 4-wheel drive. Morons! Yes, you can get it up to that speed quicker than everyone else...but you lose ALL advantage when it comes to slowing down, stopping & steering. I snicker everytime I see a 4-wheel drive SUV in the ditch and think about the expensive lesson the SUV owner just got in handling their 4-wheel drive!

Got that feelin that it will be a VERY slow drive today once we hit NC......

Hey, I live in central North Carolina and am headed south soon. So if you see me in my big, black 4WD Suburban - the one with the Captain Mickey antenna topper - be sure to wave.

I'm with you on the snowstorm - what terrible timing.

Don't know which way you're going, but it doesn't look too bad down around I-95. The biggest problems appear to be I-85 and I-77 further west of here.

Otherwise, I'll see y'all on the Magic this Saturday.

Have a safe drive, SMChan and JBix00! I too have seen a lot of SUV's rolled in ditches around here during storms.

I'm shocked that we're actually having a "heatwave" here in the Toronto area - no snow in the forecast for the next five days!

See you onboard!

 

[snwwhite]

Safe driving everybody. I just spoke to my boss who is in Charlotte, NC and she said it is snowing pretty good there. The good news is that it is not sticking to the roads, yet!!

 

[MamaGriz]

Funny, my birthday present was a cruise too! Pisces rule!

We get to drive in a little bit of a storm over the pass to Spokane, but hopefully pretty minor. We take off in a few hours.

Save travels everyone, we'll see you soon

 

[jbix00]

Safe travels everyone!

Headed out in an hour...1 DD stayed home this morning and we're pulling the other out early to get on the road sooner to fight the winter storm on the way down!

See everyone on board!!!!

Well the flight was a little bumpy in places last night and the rental agency was out of our size cars so we have like a 15 passenger minivan for the two of us... But we slept with the windows open and could hear a fountain in the little lake by our room. And this morning it's sunny and just great!!!

At the store where we bought our juice and bagels Gail saw a screaming lime green t-shirt with a big Mickey on the front for $5.99. She hasn't decided if she'll go back and get it. Think she should?

Ok, it's time to take the book and head to the pool. Day after tomorrow! Day after tomorrow!

Safe trips to everyone!

 

[mississaugamom]

Hi Ray-half of 3Things!

Thanks for the weather update - sounds amazing!!!

Is Gail looking at getting the Lime-Green Mickey only for herself or for you, too?

(Or maybe only for you ... )

The price is all right, though. As one of the people wearing the lime-green T already, I'd say "the more the merrier".

See you Saturday!

Arlene

 

[3 things]

It would be for here, because I already own a lime green t-shirt... So far, all she has is a black t-shirt with Tinkerbell on it... So I thought the lime t-shirt might do the trick.

and about that weather... tomorrow is only supposed to be mid-60's, but then warmer on THE important day!

have reservations at Wilderness Lodge tonight for dinner to get a little shot of Disney - we're staying a Marriott vacation club place so we need some Disney!

 

[mississaugamom]

Enjoy dinner at Wilderness Lodge! There's nothing like a little shot of Disney ahead of time.

Go ahead and buy the lime-green mickey T; just something else to get in the spirit on Saturday morning!

 

[plutospup]

Have a great time at the Wilderness Lodge!

DMIL has arrived, and the final packing is underway. Time for DD6 to place her last sticker on our countdown calendar!!!

 

[CB4U]

Plutospup,

Have a wonderful trip. I am relatively certain we shared an "Avis" van back to the Radisson last year with you and your family on the April cruise last year. I'll know I have the right family if you can confirm what a "pleasant" time we had getting back to the Radisson after the cruise. We were the family of five from NH. We remembered how nice your family was and we were sorry not to have met you sooner. I was just lurking on the boards back then. If I have the wrong family, have a great trip anyway. We are cruising once again this April.

 

[mailman028]

Everyone have a safe journey to Florida.3 things enjoy your dinner.We are leaving in the morning say about 10ish.So this is our last post till the CRUISE.It's only been since Feb.11 of last year we made the reservations.Like I said have a Great but safe trip and we shall see ya'll either in line or on the boat.Mike

 

[plutospup]

Hi CB4U! Yes, it was us! I thought there were going to be fist fights waiting for the Avis van. Despite the trouble we're going back to Avis again.

It's so nice of you to remember our family! We remember the "gang from New Hampshire"! Hopefully, your April cruise will be great.
