[dheller97]

Well, it's the adult rotation and we're all adults at our table (well, maybe not Dean!)

And, what do you mean by that, youg lady?

 

[Bonkinthesota]

Good news! The Minnesotans got their docs. We're on are way now. Doing the happy dance!

 

[dheller97]

Congratulations! Isn't that a great feeling to have them in hand? I never realized how everything seems so real once you get those things.

Hope everyone has warmed up after last nights romp on the ice and snow. If you left anything here, well, our house tends to eat things. They disappear like so many dog collars. We'll start a lost and found box and bring it all to Karyn's and Jami's on Saturday.

Congrats to Minnesota in getting documents. I was out of town when ours came and made my son open them up and tell me what was there. And this is from someone who's been on the Magic before.

Gary,
The magnets I did were with the Xyron where one piece of magnet material is joined with a laminate material. We made them business card sized. But, I have seen the sheets, just haven't tried them. Here's the designs I used:

Still got some left if anyone wants - just send me your address and I'll get them on the way.

Let's dance them into the floor people!!!
Now, it seems to me that we have a lot of people in our little group who can REALLY dance, how 'bout a show one night to let people know that disco never really died? We can party downnnnnn oh yeah we are so cool
Man, I can almost hear myself talk, that's scary!
As far as the electric slide, I've seen it on deck during the sail away party and the macarena at the Mexicali... night, so we are all set! Don't forget the limbo on Mexi night too!!
I love to dance on board and my DH who is usually not a dancin' man, is up for it usually too. so... here I go again, let's
par-tee doWN! do do do do do dodedodo... do the hustle....

 

[auntrenae]

Ok people,
You really know how to party, as evidenced by the frozen speedos in front of Juli's fireplace, what say we wow the whole shipload of people in the line to board... are you game? How about doing a rousing demo of the Hustle (insert music here... do do do do) in the lobby of the cruise terminal?? Maybe we will either make people think this is the best cruise in history, or they will freak out and leave the whole ship to us Either way, we win
Then when the cruise is over we can say, 'Oh yes, we remember it well (insert french accent)
hmmmmmm...
He He He

Hi everyone - We're up for some party hopping on Saturday night... it will get us all ready for the Duval crawl in Key West... I'm still blushing from all the speedos that were left behind I have to admit that I'm not really up on the disco era but I did watch Saturday Night Fever so I think I'll be able to catch on... I do love to dance to 50's music though...
'night all...
p.s. that romance package sounds fantastic!!! Doesn't it sound wonderful GoofyAboutMickey7????? ...

I've been busy today and away from the boards.

My stepfather had the best of the travel to school stories. Not only was it uphill both ways through the snow, it was also has to saddle the horse, ride eight miles to a relatives, put the horse in the barn, then walk to school two miles, and repeat it all after school was over.

I suppose I could tell stories and make them seem bad also. I did often hitch a ride home six miles in the dark in Winter after basketball practice was over. I wouldn't want my kids doing that today.

 

[OKWMEMBER]

I, the kid himself, am ready to get down with my bad self!!! I've got the boogie fever, I've got to boogie down!!! I heard somebody say burn, baby, burn! Disco Inferno!!!

Of course, I can rock and roll to the 50's and 60's, too.

And of course, IT'S ELECTRIC!!!

And HEYYYYYYYY MACARENA!!!!! HAARROOOO!!!!

Do ya wanna get funky with me? Do ya wanna???

HADN!!!

Good night all -- unless you are all ready for the all-nighter party! I see a lot of check marks still lit up so I know you are out there.

The more I hear about the romance package, the more I want to book it. I don't know if DH would go for it. Does anyone know what the Romantic gift amenity is? And how about the price for the Couple massage if you were to book it on your one. I am thinking it would be so nice to get this stuff booked. And then I get down to the Romance turndown service and champagne breakfast in bed and realize that with an unpredictable 4 year old in our cabin, there's no guarantee of having him out of the cabin

My theory is the same as yours Nikki for the young kids in APL. I figured the cruisers without small kids might be more likely to dress up for the formal nights AND for their nights in Lumieres.

And how about that 70's night. Just as I was realizing Disco Duck was stuck in my head I read Nikki had the Hustle in hers. I hope I don't hear them in my sleep!!!

Good night Johnboy

 

[kmc33]

Oh no Now, Disco Inferno too!!!

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Kim, I refer to myself as Gar-Bob in Walton-ese.

Good night, all!!! Have Disney Dreams!!!

 

[Juli]

Ya know, I think I was in a different place in the 70's. A far, far prettier place where everyone loved one another and Pink Floyd played on the stero and it was far out man! But then came the late 70's "and we were dancin, yeah!"

"I can't dance, don't ask me"

Passing Nikki a nerve soothing fruity drink......

To finally answer Nikki's questions about our Romantic Escape. (sigh!)

Here are our ressies:
Sunday Day 2 - KW - Brunch @ Palo - 10:30 (I think)
Monday Day 3 - At Sea - Couples Massage - 9:15
Wednesday Day 5 - CZ - Dinner @ Palo - 7:30! Same night Nikki!
Thursday Day 6 - At Sea - Tea @ Palo - 3:30

When Debbie asked me what night I wanted to make Dinner for, I said, "We won't know our rotation in order to pick a specific night will we?" and she said "I can do that for you, what would you like?" We discussed the rotations for all of 1/2 a minute and I said I'd like to go with APL. It put us in L on both the formal and semi-formal nights, and got us out of PC/Mexicalli on our Palo night. I wasn't even thinking about having to dress up on those nights as well as other nights if we got a different rotation. Wouldn't change what I'm wearing at all. DH would have gone along with whatever we did. He cleans up well. My kids are funny. Peter likes to dress up; asked me to get him a tux like his Dad. John will tolerate it if that is what everyone else is doing and he's supposed to, but can't wait to get that tie off. I would have been ok with PAL rotation as well. I think this is where families with kids between 7-10 supposedly end up most of the time according to the PassPorter. I don't see why your TA/MIL couldn't call Debbie and ask about the rotation now. She said to call with any questions or changes if I thought of any.

Oh, one other thing. Debbie said she'd seat us at a table for 4 in case our kids don't join us each night. Then we can have a nice dinner for 2. She's trying hard to make this romantic. I appreciate that, but I like meeting new people and the kids do too. If we leave it this way, I'll be talking to all the tables around us. I can't help it. Me and my big mouth just can't help it.

I didn't ask about the "romantic gift". I would like a surprise as well, so I didn't ask. I would like to know if it is flowers, which I don't think it is, b/c I may order some seperately. I'm treating this all like an early Valentines Day since that is only a week after the cruise.

When we cruised before, we had two 5 yr olds. Very unpredictable. We were constantly getting beeped by the club. Not the clubs fault, Peter is a handful. Don't think I could have done this then.

So, we'll be at the Mickey Pool afer boarding and lunch Nikki. I remember something about Studio Sea, but don't remember if there was a time. I really want to get the kids to the pool if the weather is ok. We will be driving in from Punta Gorda, a 4 hour drive. We'll all need some movement and the daily drink special.


OK, I've exceeded my post limit and ramble limit for one night.

Good Night Everyone!
Juli
