For formal night I have black dress slacks and a dressy top, for semi-formal I have the same slacks and a dressy top. I did break down and buy trouser socks rather than bare feet in my sandals!

A quick question from my worried DH ....... we are coming over from the UK where we have bread sauce with our turkey on Christmas day. It's a bit like grits, and he absolutely loves it (he event has it cold in sandwiches with the left-over turkey the next day).

Do you have bread sauce in the US, and is it likely to be available with the Christmas dinner on the cruise? Our option, if it isn't, is to bring a packet mix over with us and have it made up by the kitchen especially for him - he's seriously worried about not having it!

He also wants to know if they have "left-over" turkey sandwiches Christmas day evening, or for days afterwards in fact, it's another family tradition.

Thanks

I hope so Lorraine.........I love turkey.

Hey Gus - Looks like it is just us right now. I am still chuckling about the shoes.

Lorraine......just went to the Marks and Spencers web site.

There are no US locations.

They used to have a store in Toronto.
Canada is not listed either.

I'd bring some "bread sauce" with you. ( I have never heard of it before )

If you do bring some, can you bring extra so I may try it.

Thanks Gus

Do we know when the formal nights are yet? And has Disney announced any special holiday happenings yet?!
Would love to hear about the types of dresses/suits women are planning for formal night as plan to go shopping for mine next week..............was going to wait until I was thinner............but I'm afraid that particular miracle dosen't seem to be happening!!!!!!
Thanks!

HI Debs

Karen - nice dresses.

For formal and semi-formal I'm using the same long black skirt. On formal night I'll team it up with a gold lurex sweater set and for semi-formal night I'll team it with a black top.

Of course if they make Christmas Eve or Christmas Day one of the formal nights that will change as I had different outfits planned for those.

Mark is going to rent a tux. Not only because he looks good in it but because that means one less thing to pack.

Hi Mary.....or anyone.

What are the links for a tux rental on the ship?
Or anywhere else?

Thanks Gus

I got Jay's and Jared's from the tuxxman...and I just got a package from him today, with two more shirts for Jay.

 

[justmestace]

Finally home....yippee!

Jared's team won...they played great.

Took Jordan to her audition, she got a part, and will most likely perform in at least two numbers.

Had to dodge two hundred million cars in our little town. They're having "Wild West Days"....tons of horses, even a few big big steer, wagons, etc. And they have Main St down to one lane. What a mess.

Have a pot of chili on the stove...and not a darn thing else to do!

 

[justmestace]

So much for peace and quiet. Our "extra" daughter is on her way over to spend the night, and go to the cabin with us tomorrow.

Yep.....I'm going to the cabin. Was thinking of the peace & quiet (till now) and taking deep breaths of the pines......suits me fine, as long as I don't have to spend the night. Too bad there's nowhere to plug in the lap top!

Linda.....send me a PM letting me know where you are staying, I'm going to PM you now.

Gus

DH is looking for his leisure suit. You too will look spiffy for sure.

 

[seaulater]

Stacey-sent you a pm.

Pre-meet in Vegas next weekend!!!!


Linda

 

[seaulater]

Well, dropped off the DH at the curb at the airport an hour ago. Tried to get him to take a bump and get some more $$$$$ like I did last week, but no such luck. He is in the air as I write, heading for WDW!!!!!

So in the a.m. he's heading over to the hotel and lounging by the pool until my flight arrives. Then it is off to the parks for the evening.

Okay, need to head home and dig out my 70's gear!!!

Linda

 

[afff]

Sorry Mary Ann............

I'm back at work and still haven't sent you my confirmation #

Very busy shift, too many fires.

Had to sleep today, plus soccer practice for DS.

I'll try again tommorrow morning.

Hope its a little quieter tonight.



Gus

 

[realtorlady]

I certainly dont mean to be....


but......

DD, Brianna, will turn 14 on the 27th. I'd like to do something 'special' for her and all her new friends on the cruise.

What do you think I could do..? I have some ideas....

would be really cool if some kids out there could make her a b-day card....she loves home-made stuff (we're real crafters here!)

You can email me privately (isell4u@tds.net)

Thank you for your understanding.

Christine

P/s THIS IS A SUPRISE! She has been 'chatting' on the teen board...so I don't want her to know!

P/ssss.. you know, we are already friends, just friends that haven't met!!!!

 

[tinkdancer]

I'm going to tell Brianna!

No, really. I am joking, but that is really sweet!

I have been talking to Brianna and she is really sweet!

 

[Dancind]

Realtorlady, Alicia is very crafty, I'll remind her to make one. Brianna will have a great time with a birthday on the cruise! Not to worry, DCL will make an appropriate fuss over her. The 27th is Castaway Cay day too.

So Stacey, Jordan will be dancing on TV? Is it something we will be able to see? That's very exciting, tell her congratulations! Congrats to Jared on his win, too!

We had dress rehearsal for the dance team's first show today. Alicia is the only one doing a solo, she has choreographed 1 minute and 40 seconds so far. Since she will be entering the "Young Choreographer's" comp at the dance conventions, she's doing it all herself. Her number is very interesting, we can't decide if it's hip hop or modern or lyrical. LOL She might do it on the ship for the talent show. No bias at all, but I think it's great!

Watching Shrek II tonight, and drinking Margaritas. Kevin made a pitcher, and no, it's not on the diet. But Shrek should be funnier, don't you think? He bought it at a grocery store here because they were giving away freebees with it. He got a big bag of Shrek colored M&ms.

 

[djs113]

We got our Mickey vests and bow ties from thetuxxman on ebay as well, but we didn't bid on them, we called his store directly in Florida

Who else saw The Incredibles today?

Kids loved it

Gus, how old are your kids?
