2006 DVC Member Cruise - SSMC06 - October 22, 2006 Part 3

[alikat99]

Thanks again for all the nice Anniversary wishes I was able to grit through the pain and went for dinner locally with my dh and dd. I have an appt. with the neurologist on Monday, could use some prayers or positive healing energy (which ever you ascribe to) sent my way.

Hope you're feeling better, Ilene!!!!

Amy, I wish I still had a little girl that would like the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique, now mine wants SPA days

Glad you had a good time at Seaworld, I feel the same way, once every couple years and you can see all the shows and exhibits and do some rides. It doesn't have the repeatableness (not a word but you know what I mean) that WDW does...at least for us.

The idea of a Roomba is very entertaining but I don't know how it could work that well. First if you run it at night while asleep is it quiet? What if it gets full? Do you have to have really square rooms with little furniture? I can't picture it working in my kitchen with all the table/chair legs but it might work in my livingroom with less to bump into. Also does it program itself to "know" a room so if you move it to another room does it get confused?

I've been MIA for a few days so it's time to catch up again!

Not hard, Ilene, you just need to know where to look.

When you do a reply, above the box you are typing into, there is a font selection, size selection and color. In order to do size or font, you need to enter your text between the beginning and ending brackets or into the box that shows up.

What I usually do is type what I want to say, then highlight it, click on size and then select my size. Then when I have that, I highlight it all again, and select my color. Then, I highlight again and select center to have it centered on the page.

Now that I've said all that, I'm curious to see if someone has an easier way to do it.

Ilene - what Message Editor Interface are you using? If you go to User CP (up on the red bar on the far left) then go to Edit Options (4th choice down on the box on the far left). Now scroll down to Misc. Options. You can change your option to Enhanced Interface and it brings all the color, font, and size options right into your response box. Much easier than trying to use code.

Hope this helps.

I have a hard time with changing texts too! That's why I don't do it that often so I appreciate the "Changing Text for Dummies" instructions!

Happy Belated Birthday Bruce! I hope you enjoyed your day.


Happy Fathers Day to all of you Dads!

Eighteen Weeks!

Okay, an alcohol question. Can I bring alcohol on board with us? I like a particular kind of wine from South Africa and may want to bring a bottle with me. I wasn't sure if this was allowed. I know some places charge a corkage or opening fee if we wanted to bring it to dinner but if I want to have it in my stateroom am I allowed to bring it onboard?

Yes, you can bring your own. But if you do bring it to dinner DCL will charge you a corkage fee. Enjoy in your stateroom!

You mean I can't complain to you once we get onboard about my tablemates and their bad manners and crazy antics??

No complaints from the Peanut Gallery!!!

Almost over ...........50 mph winds and some rain were all we got. Hopefully it will not be worse up north.

Thanks to our good friends in Illinois for sending this over. We're not expected to get anything until later in the day, but they are talking about severe winds this evening. Hopefully it will fall apart - the weather has been so nice the last few days, would hate to ruin it with some ugly storms.

Emily and my niece Kailey did the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique on Friday, and I have to say that it was the best money spent. They both loved it, and they looked adorable. I'll have to post a picture later.

When Carol and I were down there in March, they were open to CM's and CM children. The girls looked so cute. Did Emily & Kailey go over and do the photo shoot? Disney has a definite HIT with the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique!

I understand they now have something for the boys called "Cool Dude". Not sure what all is included with this. Amy, did you see anything about this when you were there?

YIKES! 18 Weeks is NOT enough time to lose 100 lbs!

Hi everyone! We had a great time at our breakfast mini-meet this morning! I'll have a picture later but for now here's a quick recap.


After Church Mark and I headed downtown. As we were getting off the highway we called Curt and Karen to tell them we'd be there in few. They were already down in the lobby waiting for us. A few minutes later and we were pulling up in front of the Westin and they were outside waiting for us!

We were right on scheduled and headed to our meeting place in Niles. It was great finally getting to meet both of them and we spent to trip getting to know each other. When we got to Omega's we found that Cindy's family (Cindy, Gary, Cameron and Walker) were there was well as Tina and her daughters Krystina and Haylee. They had already checked in and asked for a table for 11. Soon as we got there we were seated - timing worked out great!

First order of the day after introductions was, of course, breakfast. I saw Walker had a tray brought to him with a selection of cereals, lots of eggs being ordered by Tina and her girls, Gary had some yummy looking pecan pancakes, Curt and Karen had belgium waffles, Cameron and I had omlets, and I think Cindy had one of the skillets like Mark. Each person was also brought a nice piece of coffee cake. Not sure if this is because of Father's day or not. All in all we had the table full of yummy food!

Breakfast conversation was of course the cruise and life on the DIS in general. After eating we passed around the 3 circle journals that I had brought to pass on to Cindy. I think the CJ's really gave a good idea of the fun we had on SSMC05 to Tina and Curt/Karen.

By now we had been given the check and we could see that the place was full and they were waiting out in the lobby for tables. Karen was wonderful at figuring up what each family owed and then Curt paid the bill. We stopped out in the outer lobby and asked one of the gentleman waiting if he would be out photographer.

We then said our good-byes. Tina was taking the girls to their Dad's for Father's Day. Cindy & her family were headed downtown for some fun. We drove Curt & Karen over to Wrigley Field for their last game of the weekend (they are headed home via bus right after the game). Mark and I went and did grocery shopping and then kind of crashed for a while.

All in all a great morning. It is always a pleasure getting to see Cindy's family and we really enjoyed meeting Curt, Karen, Tina, Krystina and Haylee! We are all going to have such fun in October!

Hey everyone - after a nice afternoon nap (for me and the girls), I'm back to show you guys some pictures of our adventure at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. It really was a lot of fun.

I have heard of the Cool Dude package, but didn't see them advertising anything about it. But, I can tell you that while Emily and Kailey were getting beautiful, there was an older lady and her older daughter getting done too. So, it is truly for all ages!!

Here's Emily getting sprinkled by her Fairy Godmother - in - Training.

Kailey & Emily all done up!

Kailey's photo session!

Emily's photo session!

 

[WDWLVR]

Amy - what great pictures! I love the one of Emily's photo session! She looks like Miss America!

 

[BCVOwner2002]

YIKES! 18 Weeks is NOT enough time to lose 100 lbs!

I was thinking the same thing. The weeks keep going down but the weight on the scale isn't changing much! I need to get back on track ASAP! (this is supposed to be me exercising - lol)

Amy - the girls look great!

Mary et al - glad breakfast/mini-meet went well.

Hi all. It's gloomy and cloudy here today and it's somewhat that way in our hearts too. We said goodbye to Tigger today. I had hoped we could wait until Monday, but this morning it was obvious that she was in a lot of pain, so I called the vet's office, left a message, and he met us there at 1:00 to euthanize her. He told us we made the right decision. Ken's dad has a little grove of pine trees behind his house that has served as the family "pet cemetary" for years, so we took her there and buried her. Some tears were shed, but all in all I feel better knowing that she's no longer in pain. I actually think that she just held on until we got back from WDW to really start to go downhill.

On a happier note, Ken's aunt and uncle are home from the hospital. They both need canes to walk, (but my goodness, they're in their 80's!) but otherwise are doing well.

 

[WDWLVR]

Mary to you and your family on losing Tigger. I'm sure you have many happy memories that will help you get through the pain.

 

[RRBB]

18 weeks!!!!


Anyone want to bet this is Robin's new favorite number?

How'd you guess? Yup, 18 is my new favorite number!

Gail, I think all the credit goes to Steve & Coleen. We didn't have any rain here last night. Drizzle on and off this afternoon, but nothing any where near what Steve described.

Carol

I'm sure this would be right up Walker's alley.
