gaRry, oh gaRry, did you make it home yet? It seems like you have been gone forever. I was thinking about you last night when someone won a bottle of Boone's Farm for coming in last for a scavenger hunt. Yes, the wine I was drinking was coming out of corked bottles

Actually, SIL had to go to a 70's party last year and he got them from some other guy in his neighborhood who had them still in his closet.

Unbelievable, huh?

Hmmmm. Not really!

Paul...are you trying to tell us you have some "secrets" in your closet??

Good morning, all.....I've been up for quite a bit, but just got to the computer, before you think I slept another 13 hours. Only 10.

Linda.....that's a great idea, by the way. Disco is the only thing DH can dance! Stuck in a time warp! You don't have to go to a thrift shop for disco clothes....they're the latest thing now!
Except maybe the mens' platform shoes! For some reason I just flashed a picture of "Huggy Bear" in my head!

Everyone is going to have such a great time on their trips!!!
Best wishes to all of you who are traveling (better say it now before I forget).....Have Fun and Be Safe!

Will be pretty lonely here for a while. But a lot of fun to hear all the great stories when you're all back!!!!!!!! Take notes!

I'm going to go work on our door sign for Christmas. I made one, but was stupid and did it in poster size....don't know where my brain was! It has to fit on my magnet paper.
So, off I go to be "artsy" HA

TTYL,
Stacey

 

[justmestace]

We were way down toward the bottom....thought I'd bump us up.

Back to trying to be artsy....not having much luck

 

[justmestace]

Just thought of a couple of questions:
Jordan is old enough now (or will be) to got to the teen stuff. If I sign Jared in to the club, he's old enough to sign himself in and out....will I still have to carry a pager? Will he have to wear the "bracelet" for the whole cruise?
Thanks.
Finished some of my magnets for the cruise....they're not bad.
I used to have a whole bunch of Disney icons and clips, but must have "lost" them when I went to 9.0 & XP. Does anyone remember who had these posted? There were a ton of Mickey, Minnie and the gang....holidays, just for fun, etc.

Happy sunday evening everyone. DD and myself will be leaving for the airport at 5am tomorrow. we ahva a 7am floght. Hopefully the snow showers(believe it) will not sick and continue into the am. I ca not believe We are getting snow showers on 4/4!!! I remenber last year we had a few inches of snow around April 8th!!! Crazy weather. Sunny Florida here we come.
Packing is finished . I have some bills to pay, take a shower and double check everything ans than relax.

Leslie, I am waitting for a call back tonight from the DH cousin's. IF I do not post tonight or early am before we leave I am PMing you my cell number. How crazy is this that you can not get an answer as to what our plans are????? I should here back tonight.
We will be in Boynton Beach until Tuesday night after dinner. DH's cousin is going to pick us up and and we will be in Plantation Acres until Wednesday evening. Hopefully we will meet on 4/7

Linda, I hope you can come to Hershey, Pa. I would be so psyched. We are probally going to stay at Springhill Suites. I am not sure if we will use points or pay the rate we got for 3 nights 9/17-9/20. The rate with tax came to $370.00 The first two nights were $129.00 and the third night was $80.00. We also have alot of points banked. Mary and Mark are also staying there.

Once we have a total of who all is coming we need to find restaurant for Saturday night or Sunday Brunch to take us all. I am sure Lisa or Charlotte know a few restaurants that can accommodate a large crowd.

Talk to you all later this eveing-Gail

 

[justmestace]

Have a great time, Gail!!!

 

[gail1771]

Leslie, I just Pm and E mailed you my cell number. I will post and e mail you later.

Charlotte, thanks for the PM. DH is so psyched to breakthrough our existing house into the new part of the house while we are gone. He keeps telling me he is going to be so lonely without me and how much he is going to miss me. He will be so busy working, running another job and having to take care of DS in the evenings that he will not even know I am gone.

Diana, I am going to e mail you now.

Gail

Gail - have a wonderful time in Florida!

 

[paulcrsb]

Gail - Have a good time in FL. I'm still a couple of weeks out from visiting the Mouse!

Paul

 

[justmestace]

I want to visit the Mouse!!!

Soon...I guess.

Hooray!! I finished all of my magnet decorations for the room. Have my battery-operated lights. Don't think I'll take a tree. Well, maybe. Definitely the kids' stockings.
Guess I'm getting way ahead of myself....but it's a fun thing to do on a Sunday afternoon.

 

[justmestace]

Couple more weeks, and I can make our FANTASMIC! PS.
Yippee!!!!

Anyone know about the Kid's Club question I had?

 

[WDWLVR]

Stacey - do they now take advance reservations for that? When we have gone in the past you had to get in line very early in the morning. We never did it.

 

[justmestace]

Hi Mary...yes, when we went at Christmastime, I had called Disney 30 days ahead and got us tickets for the balcony/dessert buffet...we did have to pick up our tickets that a.m., and fight the exiting parade crowd to show up at the Gallery early....but it was sooo worth it! We ended up in the front row of the balcony, and stayed for the fireworks.
FANTASMIC! is my DH's favorite, so he doesn't mind paying the extra $$. He hates sitting on the ground and fighting the crowds. We loved the ampitheater seating at WDW. Still had PS's there, we ate at Mama Melrose (loved it!).
Long answer for a short question!! Sorry.
Stacey

 

[jilljill]

Stacey, I just asked DD about the wristbands for the older kids (10-12) and she thinks they had to wear them too even if they were signing themselves in and out of the club. I'm not sure about the beeper. You should probably ask that quesiton on the general cruise board.
I guess it's a better answer than you have gotten on here.

 

[Cruisin'goose]

GarRy says hi, he is just passing through St. Louis MO. He sends his greeting to everyone on line. GarRy was very happy when he left the horse with her former & now new owner. He has taken his time getting home since he drove strraight through with the horse on board.

jilljill - check your PM's, I sent one for you. didn't you partake of the boonesfarm?

Hope everyone had a great weekend,
too short here I feel like I lost more than one hour last night

Vicki

 

[Cruisin'goose]

DS thinks he did not have the wrist band because I signed a waiver. I know I did not get the beeper because he did the self signing. I thought he had the band though but his memory is better than mine.

GarRy says everyone needs to look to the east (at the full moon) it is really quite nice here and he says his view is quite awsome

Vicki

 

[jilljill]

Vicki, no Boones Farms for me. I had to laugh when they announced the prize.
Got the PM - are we still meeting you and the kids on Tues. or are we waiting until Thurs. to meet everyone?!? Either way is fine with us.

 

[paulcrsb]

Vicki - No moon here yet. Still nice and sunny!
