[RRBB]

And guess what...this is post 400 for me!!! Yeah!!

Congrats on hitting the 400 post mark. (As I look at it now though, you're already up to 420!)

Ilene,

I am nervous about meeting everyone as well.... It is so easy to chit chat here. BUT there is one thing we all have in common which makes conversations start out so much better.... A LOVE FOR EVERYTHING DISNEY.

Cant wait to meet you.

Make that two things - we're all going on a cruise together!















Oh wait, I just thought of a third... DVC!!!

Yeah, and it should be covered by our health insurance. Maybe a $20 co-pay.

I'll suggest this at my next budget meeting with the Executive Board of the health insurance company I work for.

 

[BCVOwner2002]

We thought they did. But last night KT realized she forgot to grab the $3 Hello Kitty purse. Oops. They could have gotten $341 worth of stuff!!!

I think you can "spring" for that!

 

[RRBB]

They are easy to tell apart. Ann Marie is married to Tom and Annmarie is married to Tom.

Oh no! We have another jokester.

I'm so Excited!

Thanks to a fellow Dis'r who unfortunately had to cancel out on the Med Repo but was kind enough to contact me to see if I wanted her cabin!?!

Well it looks like a done deal!

The only reason why I booked was to get a Murphey Bed in the Living Room for DD but wasn't lucky enough, until now to get one!



Now I can go off tonight to see WICKED!

Congrats on the cabin!

I loved Wicked! I hope you enjoyed it last night.

They had some neat costumes. We stopped in there after going to DSW yesterday. They have stuff for men and women.

Thanks I'll check it out!

Whew! I'm finally caught up. Yesterday was a crazy day and I was so wiped I fell asleep at 7 pm (which is why I'm now up posting at midnight)

Sounds like a pretty hectic day. Can you imagine the guilt trip you'll get when they find out about the Hawaii trip. I vote for telling them when you get back.

Well, party day is here and I have a few more things to do around the house. Thankfully, the party isn't until 1pm. I sure hope that Emily is happy with this party. Now I remember why next year I should have the party somewhere else!!!

Have fun with all those little princesses! I'm sure she will love it!

 

[IleneF]

Tom loved the soft serve bar. Wait til he hears he can get a Mickey Bar from room service. He'll start and end his day with a .

The mickey bars are my very special treat at Disney. I have a picture somewhere of our second cruise with my dd, her good friend and my ds girlfriend (no fiancee) all eating a bar at the dinner table. I LOVE them, but a little less since Nestle makes them (don't like Nestle for other reasons).

 

[IleneF]

Oh yeah and ....
Happy Birthday Cameron!!!

Yeah, and it should be covered by our health insurance. Maybe a $20 co-pay.

Sounds like a terrific plan!

Do you mind working with the health care companies to have them see it that way?

My friends and family think I'm nuts for being friends with you guys. Oh well, at least I know hanging out with you guys there won't be any negativity or conflicts about Disney! Full speed ahead to SSMC06! Let the party begin!

Thankfully my sister hangs out on the DIS too, so I at least have some company. The rest of our family do the eye roll thing when we mention our DIS friends. Their Loss!

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Tip Of The Day


You don't have to be a child to eat like one!

DCL has some wonderful food and some very decadant desserts, but sometimes you just want something simple and classic. For a quick meal on the go check out the chicken fingers from Pluto's up on deck 9 by the Mickey Pool.

Don't hesitate to ask your server for a Mickey Bar for dessert (off the kid's menu). They will be happy to deliver it to you. It comes in a bowl, covered with sprinkles! We find them to be a much better quality than the ones in the parks.

I've also heard you can order Mickey Bars from room service - now that is decadant

Also, at the new Castaway Club Celebration you get Mickey Rice Krispy Treats. Two different ones. One is regular and the other is half dipped in chocolate!

Q's my princess (Laurie) who was on the 11 night with us wanted rice krispy treats everynight after that for dessert. Ivana (our server) went on the illusive hunt for the Mickey Treats and sure enough, she found the stash and Laurie had them every night after that!

Oh, and the number kept growing and growing, because more and more of the 12 of us at our table decided each night they were great to take back to our rooms for a late night bedtime snack!

Thankfully my sister hangs out on the DIS too, so I at least have some company. The rest of our family do the eye roll thing when we mention our DIS friends. Their Loss!

Long ago, I stopped saying "my friend that I met online" because of the looks that people would give me. So, now I just say "my friend who lives in ....." because then people accept it without giving me that look like "OMG, you met someone online that wasn't a serial killer".

I do remember going to my first DIS meet and being asked if I ever met anyone from online before. Nope, but I'm glad it went well and I've made friends that I'll see again this cruise as well as friends I have yet to meet in real life.

Also, Scoops is being changed during dry dock. There are no longer nuts of any kind at Scoops.

If you must have nuts on your ice cream (like my DH), take a small ziplock to breakfast with you the first day. You can get almonds and walnuts at the buffet and use them for your ice cream.

DH just can't have his bowl of ice cream in the afternoon without nuts!

That was the response from my one friend yesterday - aren't you afraid they will be serial killers. I informed her I met people on a cruise meets thread on a Disney message board - not some chat room for swingers!

Here's a few more tips for the soft serve (which is now at Goofy's Galley which is in the place of Scoops).


1) Grab a cup from the drink station and fill it part way up with soft serve. Go back to the drink station and add Coke for a Coke float. Sorry no root beer at the drink station. Thanks to Karen (ohiomnnie) for this one.

2) Grab a couple of cookies from the buffet. Put some soft serve on one and the other cookie on top. Instant ice cream sandwhich! Thanks to Jim (Scuba Diver from the blabbermouths) for this one.
