Our son just returned to University today so we have been busy getting everything ready,now the house is clear ,we can now continue the serious business of getting ready for this cruise.

Ashley

 

[ashleydoc]

hi..just back from a three week course with no computer....things are starting to move and we await our documents in the uk...we ve just had a phone call from the DVC..( transatlantic rates!!!!).. as we have reservations for Disneyland Hotel after the cruise with DVC points..and as the hotel is now fully booked they are reducing the points price for the 5 night and giving us back ****40**** points..
good or what...has any one else had a phone call along similar lines?

We also have a reservation for DL hotel on DVC points after the cruise.What exactly do you mean ,they are giving you some points back or they dont want you to stay there as they are fully booked???

 

[moocow35]

How many pictures do we need to bring? Should they be a particularly "theme"? Do they need to be oriented one way or the other. I am such a newbie at this! I just hope I didn't pick out really lame stuff for the exchange part since I didn't really know what was what.

Emily, don't feel alone....I've never done this either. I just picked what I thought was "cool" and pretty and what I would like for myself. I hope whoever gets my grab bag has somewhat the same taste

:

Looking forward to meeting some of you, but please remember, we are English and thus, we are socially retarted, terribly stiff and awfully uptight

Well we are English but definitely not,I have ordered the grass skirt to prove it,and hope to have a parrot for pirates night.

Emily

My understanding is that Linda (Seaulater) is designing pages that we will re-create and leave spaces for our photos which we will add after we cruise, so you won't have to worry about bringing any pictures with you.

Correct me if I'm worng Linda.

Elaine

P.S. I agree with Robin, buy what you would like to receive. I bought 2 of everything for my grab bag because I liked them so much!!!!!!

P.P.S. I can't wait to see some newbies get addicted to scrapbooking. I started out scrapbooking after I saw one of my co-workers pages that she had made at a Creative Memories party back in 2000....and I haven't stopped scrappin' since.

I can't wait to see all you guys in your grass skirts.

Reminder to self...make sure to have extra film & batteries for tropical & pirates night!!!!

Elaine

 

[bettemom]

The 'guys should wear their grass skirts with their tuxedo jackets....

Bette

 

[moocow35]

Bette, I'll be there with camera in hand! The guys will be a sight for sore eyes and definately be the hit of the evening! Ashley, the parrot will be a nice touch!

Here's what the shirts say:

Made by Ocean Pacific
50 SPF Protection

"Keep yourself protected from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. Ocean Pacific lycra provides an excellent source of sun protection and greatly reduces your chance of skin cancer or other harmful side effects caused by overexposure to the sun. Enjoy the sun, without the burn.

Sam's Club, had black or blue.

Linda

We use "sun guard" by Rit. You can get it from Wal- Mart. Wash a load of clothes in it. It is dermatologist recommended on the package. Increases the SPF from 5 to 30 for a T shirt. Its easy to use.

TOH, project

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

Hi everyone.. .beautiful sunny day here at the MouseHouse. Cool though.. only up to 66º...but great for walking around MGM today.
Saw the Lights, Motors, Action stunt show... If you like fast car chases you will like this show. Loud though.
Got to the front of the line at Soarin after a 40 min wait (fast pass machines down) ... then they had "technical difficulties" and had to shut down the ride. They did give us special passes to get back on that are good thru April 30... guess we'll hit it when we come back up next weekend.

 

[seaulater]

How many pictures do we need to bring? Should they be a particularly "theme"? Do they need to be oriented one way or the other. I am such a newbie at this! I just hope I didn't pick out really lame stuff for the exchange part since I didn't really know what was what.

Elaine is correct-the pages we are doing are "themed" around our cruise from "Kingdom to Kingdom". What you will do is your page layouts and then you will have them all ready to just put your pictures in when you get home.

However, if you are so desirous, if you are taking pictures with film, you could always go to Shutters and get your pictures developed and then bring your pictures you have already taken to the scrapbook class and your pages would be all done, OR

if you are really looking for more things to bring on the ship, you could bring your own photo printer and download your digital pictures to your laptop and then print out the ones you want and ta-da.....your pages will be all done.
