2008, 24th/28th Aug - *Double Dipping with the Bahama Mamas* (Part 2)

[Hanover]

I just wanted to let anyone who is a DVC member and will be at MK on 8/31 know that they are giving free tours of Cinderella's castle suite. They are 20 minute tours for 5 members at a time. I think there are also some times on 9/1 but they are more limited (I didn't really check that day out since we are leaving, but noticed they started at noon then). You can sign up on the news section on the dvcmembers website.

that is so exciting!! congrats on your upcoming wedding!! we have been married 10 years!

We were going to renew our vows in didsey but we bought a boat instead.. maybe @ 15 years

I would've loved to renew our vows on this Cruise, as we'll be celebrating 20 years in October ~ maybe we'll renew them after 25 years

I just got a fish extender on ebay is it to late to join in on all the fun???

Kell - Send me a PM with the names of everyone in your room, along with kids ages, your deck and stateroom number, and I'll see what I can do

Good Morning Bahama Mama's

After my mega-busy day yesterday, I think things will be a little bit quieter today. I'm off to see my mum this morning and then I'm going to do a bit more packing this afternoon

My 'this time next week' is .. I'll be at Epcot for morning EMH's and having breakfast at the Princess Storybook ~ I love it there

Have a great day everyone

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Morning Ladies, Laurie it was great catching up finally...

Mandy, You deserve a lazy day today..you have been a busy girl lately.

Well i almost finished packing yesturday..i spent half the day trying on clothes to see what looks like i am wearing a tent and what i can squeeze into from years past..lol. The definate downside to losing weight is nothing fits anymore. Today i have to go grocery shopping and lthe lovely laundromat again..getting so tired of it. Jeff took it apart and said it can't be fixed..ugh..so we are going to get a new one when we get back from florida. That means 10 more days of the laundromat... .Well i am off catch u all later.

Kell - Send me a PM with the names of everyone in your room, along with kids ages, your deck and stateroom number, and I'll see what I can do

Mandy/Kell - We will exchange with you if you like, Mandy can you handle the details?

Well, I'm off for my bone scan today, can't wait to be injected with radioactive whatever , the kids wanted to know if I would glow! I stayed up late watching the men do an amazing job to win the bronze in ...you guessed it gymnastics. They sure looked way better than they did a month and a half ago here in Philadelphia! I think it is amazing how some people can perform under pressure. I get an upset stomach just watching Becca at her level

Yeah I'm down to single digits before we leave and I can't believe how much I have to get done before we go and how far behind I will be when we get back, if it wasn't the Disney Cruise I would stay home

Good morning All,

It seems like everyone is very busy getting ready! That includes me too. I still putting things on the guest bed. It's funny, everytime I go in there I notice that Taylor's put something in there too I have been getting some sewing done in between my lat night Olympic watching. I'll start putting stuff in the suitcases this weekend.

Not much going on here but work today. I'll try and check in later. Have a great day everyone.

Kell - I'm Betty traveling with my daughter Taylor who is 8 years old.

Mandy - can you pm me the stateroom number too!

That's brilliant that your old clothes are so big now. You must be thrilled with your weight loss ~ Well done

The girls have gone out, and I don't need to get them till tonight, so I'm going to have another look in my suitcases

Have a good day, and I'll catch you later

Good Luck with your bone scan today Diane, I hope the procedure isn't too painful

I'll be happy to sort out the FE exchange with Kell

Hi Betty, it sounds like you're enjoying the Olympics. Glad you found time to do some more sewing

Yes, I'll forward Kell's details when she has PM'd me

 

[sandym]

Hello ladies-

I have a couple minutes to myself and I should be sorting things to pack but I have been neglecting the Bahama Mamas so I wanted to check in and say hello.

No way I can do a complete follow-up with everyone I am so far behind.
So my apologies ahead of time.

I hope everyone is doing well and getting packed. Only 8 days until we leave for WDW I'm getting excited and overwhelmed. I've at least started a packing list and gotten all my FE stuff sorted, bagged and packed.
Now I just have to finish my FE (still haven't finished adding the dowel and hanger).

 

[mandymouse]

Hey Sandy

It's great to hear from you. How are Tori and Bethany ? Are they getting excited about the Cruise ?

Any news on your other documents ? I hope they arrive soon

What are you up to today ? Have a good one

Hi Mandy!

Tori started her job today. I'm to pick her up in about 20 minutes.
Bethany is off at a camp with her boyfriend's family until Wednesday I think.
We made Bethany a countdown calendar and we have a little one here.
Tori is enjoying taking the Mickey heads off every day. Or should I say, ordering me to take them off.

My other documents haven't been mailed yet. Hopefully she will get them out to me soon. I have to remind her when I am leaving.

that sounds amazing!! What a great way to spend a vacation.. do you have the same cabin for both cruises

 

[xoxheather420oxo]

So we still haven't gotten our Magical Express Luggage tags for when we are going down...and i've called this is the third time finally someone has a reason for why we don't have them which is they still had our old address in the system which we have changed numerous times. and all of our other luggage tags and documents have gone to the correct address arggg!!! Oh well she said we can just tell them at the welcome desk to grab our luggage and then get on the bus...but i think we will grab them ourselves because i am worried that they'll get lost if we dont if that makes sense....wooohooo for a week and a half till i'm on vacation

 

[LaurieWDW05]

I hope your bone scan went well. I went through the same exact thing when I was 18 and getting ready for college. I had been running a lot to get in better shape since I was playing volleyball in college and was on my feet all day working at a pool (where I happened to meet Derek). I had double stress fractures in both feet. I remember the Doctor telling me after she saw the results that I had the worst case she'd seen in 10 years and that I'd "end up in a wheelchair by the time I'm 30" if I didn't start taking it easy on my feet. She prescribed me with casts for 6 weeks, custom made orthotics and lots of Feldene (which I think is now off the market). I did exactly what she said and still managed to start volleyball on time, which was my biggest concern at the time. Luckily I never have had them again and didn't end up in a wheelchair at 30. Then again, I've never run every day or been in shape like I was then either!

 

[kobesam]

Hi guys

Only three more sleeps for me. I've pretty much given up on catching up on posts. Sorry

My this time next week will either be Epcot or Disney Studios. Will decide then.

Mandy - at seaworld we will not be riding kraken. DD is still to young and DH and myself are not thrill seekers. (last year I was so thankfull that DD was too short for space mountain)
