2/8/03 Eastern Magic Anyone?

[chrissy41678]

We're still waiting for those elusive docs too. I hope to have them in my hot little hands within a week or two. Come on Fed Ex!

Anyone have anything interesing planned for New Year's? We'll be doing the annual "movie-rental-thon" on the couch and I'm thinking of making crab rangoons to munch on. Yum! I also have a puzzle I've been working on so that will keep me busy off and on throughout the night.

Have a great evening all!

 

[Laura24]

Go JETS or GIANTS!!!!! It would be amazing to see the two teams together. But my little heart is with the BUCS! Love that*Popeye* Coach Gruden.
Anyhow..on to N Y Eve. Have you ever had more than one plan for the evening and neither pans out or you just feel like being a couch potato? I am all peopled out and don't mention food,(paleeze). Now a little toast or two to the N Y would be quite alright.
I did an impossible thing tonight...I ran into Lord & Taylors and actually purchased an evening dress without trying it on and guess what???? I actually like it. One down, one to go for semiformal night.
Made my transportation ressies with Yourride (rabbit) from MCO to VWL. Can't wait!!!


So to you all.........HAPPY NEW YEARS...TICK,TICK,TICK.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....I can tell this is going to be a fun group of CA-RUIZ-ZERRRSSSS!

 

[chrissy41678]

Hee hee Hope the Magic is ready for us!!

Laura I can't believe you just walked in and picked a dress off the rack and it worked! I've got just about everything ready, clothes-wise that is. I've got a long black skirt and glittery gold tank top for formal night and a silk scarf for that little extra oomph, but semi-formal night is alluding me. I just realized too that Friday on the ship is Valentine's Day! Now we have to decide whether to do Palo's Thursday or Friday night. Decisions, decisions...

Hi Andi! Nice to see new people joining our little group of cruisers

Happy New Year!

 

[Annie12345]

Happy New Years to you all... We just got dumped with over 20 centimetres of snow in the last couple of days!!!! It looks like there's over 3 feet of snow once it's shoveled. So much for the nice weather I've been talking about. That's okay, it will make us enjoy our trip even more!! We were thinking of going out for New Year's Eve (I wanted to test out my dress for formal night) but we decided to stay home. I'd rather bring in the new year with our DD (8). So, we'll order in some chinese food and rent some movies and have our own celebration. We tried on and washed all of our summer clothes. I have them spread out over our spare bed until its time to pack. I'm still looking for that elusive over the door shoe holder, but I have everything else ready for packing. I'm thinking of going for a few tanning sessions because I burn so easily... My DD and DH tan within an hour of being outside and they just get darker and darker so I have to do some preventative work in order to keep up with them... Have a great day, fellow cruisers!!!!

 

[OKWMEMBER]

My Terrible Towel is ready for the game already, Offwego!!!
YOI!!! DOUBLE YOI!!!

What did you think I was thinking, Andicoco?

I have two suits so my choices are made!!! Gail, that's another deal entirely!!!

Chrissy, I have been reminded several times by a certain DW that Valentines Day falls on the cruise. No pressure!!!!

Have a safe and sane New Years Eve everyone!!!

Baby, let's cruise away from heeeeeere !!!!!
I love it when we're cruisin' together!!!!

 

[Annie12345]

I just went to check the mail, and there was a note that FedEx had been here. I didn't hear the doorbell, must have been blow drying my hair... I can pick my package up after 1:00 p.m. so as soon as I do, I will let you know... I'm keeping my fingers crossed....

 

[lucky2]

JUST RECEIVED MY DOC'S AN HOUR AGO!

Can't Wait!!!!

 

[Annie12345]

I went to FedEx and the docs are here. Yipee!! Wow, what a lot of information to go through!! I'm soooooooooo excited!!!!!

Hi Lucky2 - are you on the 2/8 as well?

 

[Laura24]

I want mine too!!!!!!!! No FEDEX here in NJ! I'm jealous. I wonder if Char received hers in NYS? I must call to find out. We stayed home also last night. I felt a bit of a *bug* coming on. Missed work also today. (boo hoo)
Chrissy, I can't believe the luck of the draw myself with the dress. I've never done that before. Funny thing also, the dresses were hanging on the wall with a fitting room rack full of "I don't want this" dresses in front of them. I almost missed them. Now, if I can only find one that easily for SF night.
Any hubbies out there wearing Tuxes for the Formal night? Dh did last cruise, but since Joe won't be sporting one according to Char, he just may skip it this go round.
I almost forgot about Valentines Day......What to do, what to do? Do you think Palo's on Friday will be impossible to book? I would hate to miss Thursdays semi night. I wish we could know our dining rotation now...it sure would make deciding easier.
How many of us have the second seating for dinner? (We do).

 

[OKWMEMBER]

I wanted to get the cruise docs first!!!!!

Maybe today!!!

I'm not doing the Tuxedo thing this time. I don't look like Pierce
Broslin in one anymore so to heck with it!!!(I can dream, can't I?)

We signed up for second seating, too. We were told there were fewer kids then.

I got more pictures to post. A nice person took my picture when I got my hair cut at the Magic Kingdom. They'll be available for viewing soon!

 

[Laura24]

Yes, Gary, second seating did have fewer *Mousketeers* although the few that were there were well behaved. NO Problemas'.

I now feel impelled to burden my neighbors with the *FED EX* watch. I would hate to miss the first opportunity of our docs being delivered. Trying to locate anyone in this house at any one time is almost impossible. Although...snow is in the forecast again for tonight so I may be under house arrest tomorrow just for the heck of it.
OK laugh....I just "ordered" a dress on line....what are the odds it will be just fine? I am dieing to find out. I even had it expressed mailed..just in case it has to be exchanged for another size (eek) before we sail.

 

[Laura24]

I just noticed something odd..........
I think you missed your ship there MR.!!!!
Take a good look at your time line above your countdown timer.
See something fishy???????

 

[OKWMEMBER]

My bad!!!

OOPS!!!!

All better now!

 

[Annie12345]

It's odd that we got our docs quickly since they have to travel further to get to us... We have first seating because our DD would starve if we had to wait until 8:30 to eat. Actually, she eats like a bird. WE would starve!! DH will not be wearing a tux, just a nice suit or blazer/dress pants, etc... My dress for formal night is long and kind of sparkly. For SF I am going to wear a LBD I think. That's the one thing that I haven't decided on for sure. I wish I could lose another 10 pounds!! I'm hoping that we will be able to reserve Palo for Valentine's Day. I need to think of something great that I can surprise DH with. Any ideas guys??
Laura - I hope our snowstorm hasn't been travelling east...

 

[chrissy41678]

No docs here yet. I even called Fed Ex to see if they had anything coming to us and they said no. Argh! Hopefully soon.

No tux here either. Hubby said he would rather be overdressed than underdressed, but he's content with his 2 suits. We have late seating also and I think we're going to try for Palo ressies Friday night.

 

[Laura24]

Annie,
I am sure Disney sends the docs to the furthest destinations first. I guess they want to be sure they are received and returned ASAP. This is definitely the one time I wish my dog WOULD bark at the sound of the truck pulling in the drive.
Happy to see that Gary and Gail are on the correct cruise now. It's funny that not one of us noticed the error sooner.
Chrissy,
How is your cat doing? My dog seems to have a little bug also now. (Can they catch buggies from us humans)?
I think Gary has started a theme song for this bunch of castaways....
you're gonna fly away, glad you're going my way...I love it when we're cruisin together!!!

 

[andicoco]

Oh gee.......there goes the life of the party!!! Moderation my dear...the key to success, and NEVER MIX your alcohols! I look forward to the drink of the day selection. I just wish ALISTAIR were on board at the Promenade Lounge to fix me my favorite Mississippi Mudslide!!!! Noone else has even come near his masterpiece.
Can you believe this winter???? I'm wishing the same as you Andi. (what part of the world are you in??)
I sure hope we can fly out in Feb. PALEEZE let there be a Feb. thaw.
