I think everyone is on here now- we were all Dis deprived!! I have been sick all weekend- left work to go to dr's on Friday- fever and sinus infection- chest tight with congestion- they gave me some antibiotics ans some Mucinex DM- but I haven't felt good at all.

Hope you feel better! Sinuses are still going around here too... I had a bad one last weekend ~ Mucinex D & neti pot were the only things that helped.

We all need some DISNEY SUNSHINE!!!

Sorry to hear you are ill. Take care and hopefully it passes quickly.

Thanks- I did rest for most of today.

I copied this from another thread. Hope it helps.

Supplies:

2 yards of fabric (two colors – one yard each)
Double fold bias tape
Dowell Rod
Iron-On Patches
1 Package of Iron-On Interfacing
1 Package of Heat-n-Bond No Sew Ultra Hold 7/8 in. hem
1 Package of Heat-n-Bond No Sew 1 Yard
Various Colors of Ribbon

1. Cut fabric to be used as the body of the FE to be 8 in. wide by 58 in. in length. When folded the FE will be 29 in. in length.
2. Cut fabric for the three pockets, cut each pocket 11 in. wide by 12 in. in length. When folded each pocked will be 6 in. in length.
3. On the inside of the FE body piece and each pocket iron on the interfacing. Once cooled completely I ironed on the sheet of Heat-n-Bond cut 8 in. by 29 in. to the inside of the body of the FE.
4. On each of the 3 folded pockets I made pleats so that the pockets were 2 in.-pleat-4 in.-pleat 2 in. To secure the pleats I used the Heat-n-Bond Ultrahold hem. This was done on the cut side so that the top edge would be folded and clean.
5. Next I used the heat-n-bond hem to add 8 in. strips of the double fold bias tape to the bottom of each pocket.
6. Next I lined up the pockets on the body of the FE starting 8 in. from the top and then about 1 in. apart. I market the spots with a pencil and secured the bottom and sides of the pockets using the heat-n-bond hem.
7. Once all cooled. I used the double fold bias tape for the perimeter of the body of the FE which again was secured using the iron on hem.
8. Once cooled I ironed on the patches to each of the pockets.
9. I then folded down the top of the FE about 2 inches and secured to the back of the FE by the iron-on hem creating a little opening to insert the dowel rod.
10. Using the multicolored ribbon I made it long enough so that the FE would hang approximately 7-8 in. from a hanger.
11. For our names I bough iron-on computer paper and printed the names on the computer. Then I cut and surrounded the paper with double fold bias tape attached using the iron-on hem. Finally I ironed on the name piece.

I think that’s all. I’ve never tried to write directions for anything like this before. Everything I used I bought from either Wal-Mart, Michaels, or Joann’s Fabrics.

Here's the picture again of the final result.

Thanks! It was exactly what I was looking for!

I read sometime last week about someone booking the dolphin royal swim through a travel agency...now I must be overlooking the post...can anyone help me find it? Thanks!

Have you looked into the Passport card? They are cheaper. They are the size of a credit card and fit in your wallet. One drawback is that they are not for air travel. They are only for land and sea entry. Here is a link to the website.

Like I said, it is not usable for air travel, but since you were going to be using birth certificates and as I understand it birth certificates won't be usable for air travel, I thought maybe you would be interested in this.

Thanks...We decided to get the card. I will feel a little better.

I posted earlier about booking directly thru Dolphin Discovery. I was offered a special rate of $119 for the royal dolphin swim (reg $149) for the 3:30pm swim time only. They had limited spots for this offer. PM me and include your reg email address and I'll forward the forms and agent info.

I just got 2 rooms on Priceline for $42 each at the Courtyard by Marriott Orando airport for Friday night before the cruise. Its a 3 star hotel. I was bidding on a 2.5 star (they usually include a free breakfast) so I guess I bid too high since they upgraded me to a 3 star! Anyway, just wanted to let anyone else know who is coming in late and wants to stay in the MCO airport hotel area. This one is 2 miles from the airport and has a free shuttle.

Hey, Nikki! I'm glad you're feeling a little better today!

I see that we are signed up for parasailing on CC at the same time...we can be scared together!

Oh good, I didn't want to be all by myself on the boat.Are your kids going to, or just you. DH won't go and DD6 is too little. Maybe we can take pictures of each other.

The boys are going up, too. I think it will be really fun. We will definitely have to get pictures of each other....I am always the one behind the camera on vacations, so there are never any pictures of me!

It does look like so much fun- I wish DD would go- she is just too little. I am never in any pics either- well for this excursion- we will definately have pics of each of us!!!

2:30-3:30

I got it myself & my DS have it booked for 2:30 - 3:30 I can't wait - I'm so glad I will have pictures of myself for once too. Thank You!!!!

 

[Diane71969]

I have a stupid question - Does anyone know what the chances of getting upgraded are when you have a cat 12 gty room? I assume it's like a lottery if they do

Great! I'm glad you were able to reserve the same time! Also, if your DS and mine decide to do the teen excursion they will still have plenty of time to do this one, too.

Hey Nikki,
If you want to go parasailing a second time and with your daughter, Fury parasilaing in Key West will let her go up with you as long as she is at least 50 pounds. They have a cute video that shows a little boy parasiling with his mom! www.furykeywest.com Of course, my DS 12 doesn't think it would be so cute and wants to parasail on his own. CC's cutoff is 13 to solo, so he'll be doing it in Key West. I haven't decided if I am doing it yet - I have a fear of heights Of course, I say the same thing about stingrays, and we're booked in Grand Cayman for that too!
