Just wanted to share that we were able to capture a little Disney Magic today as we went over to EPCOT to catch the Flower and Garden show. Unfortunately shortly after we got there some intermittent showers started making it just wet enough to make getting around with 2 strollers a bit challenging. So, we didn't get to spend as much time as we would have liked, but what we saw was beautiful. The gardens were gorgeous and the plants/shrubs that they made into giagantic characters were awesome!
It's almost like being back in New England. Saturday was low 90s and sunny (see, I was good and never mentioned it!) and today mid 60s and rainy. Then by Thursday we're back in the 80s. Crazy.
DSIL Rachel and I were just discussion that (via email). On one of our cruises, we all had buttons that were made by a fellow DISer onboard - the plastic ones you can assemble. They had a green Mickey head design, with our DIS name in the middle, and our real names in an ear. They were really cute and most of us pinned them to our lanyards so it made spotting fellow DISers pretty easy.
I've never made those before, but might do a trial run and consider that.
I'll pack the scissors then.
We are booked for the parasailing at Castaway Cay. About three years ago we did the parasailing at WDW. Although they gave many many warnings that if you took your camera up, it was at your own risk, I did take my video camera up. It was great!Of course, in WDW you launched from the back of the boat and were recovered the same way. My camera and I stayed dry the whole time. I'm hoping that things are the same at Castaway Cay. I would love to get "aerial footage" of the ship and the island.
Do we have some veteran Castaway Cay folks that might offer any tips to us newbies? Things like what to do and when, etc.

in three weeks we will be sitting in the plane with a extra luggage for all the little fishextender and my husband is quite sure that we will have to leave more than half a the customs because they think, what the heck is this for.... 
As for the plane ride, bring a DVD player - with Disney movies, of course! 10 hours is going to be rough no matter what you bring.
Dear fellow cruisers
How does it work with the table seating in the various restaurants. Is it correct that we will always be sitting with the same people at the table and how many people will be sitting at the table with us if we are a group of 3. How do the match groups? Any experience you would like to share?
Pam, thanks again for everything you have done for me with the FE, so curious how it looks, and thanks aswell for all the organisation planning you do for our humble group. And re age, I am a very late mom, so you might even be younger than me, and yes, we are all young at heart, would we otherwise be doing a disney cruise, no way....
Hey, Rachel, where are you, long time no hear
Ciao und bis bald Andrea
(By and talk to you soon again) German lesson Nr.1
), you are faboulos, really. This year, DSIL (Rachel) and I are going to attempt to make shirts using a Disney name tag graphic that was nicely made for us by a fellow DISer, Tom. Hmmm, me, a hot iron and transfer paper.... could be scary! As I mentioned before, Tiggers don't sew - or iron!
yes, my FE is soooooooooooooooooo cute, to make some promotion, I ordered it through gradsymommy in e-bay (Tiffany is her real name and she is posting in the FE threat. Pam, I just asked gradsymommy if she has made a picture and that very moment when I read her no reply, y ou post this picture, you are an angel, thanks so much.
