Just sitting here waiting for the rain to stop...we have tickets tonight for a minor league baseball game with our Cub Scout pack. It's kids eat free night so I didn't have anything planned for dinner. Their website is stating that the game is still on but I really don't want to go sit in a cold, wet stadium to get a free hotdog. My DH has a cold and he's sitting here wrapped in a blanket so I know he's really not feeling well. Hoping game gets a rain delay or cancelled so we can pick another night to go and not lose our $$.

We have some thunderstorms rolling on through tonight too! Sounds like you would have had a nice night out...hopefully it will be canceled due to rain so you can do it some other night.

Tell your DH to get well soon - I feel bad for him because today I woke up with a bad cold. My throat is horrible as well and I am trying to to drink a bunch of OJ and keep up on the medicine. Only 16 days until we leave and I plan on being well!

It's 7:45 pm here-game should have started at 7:05 pm, rain delay. We're still home (only live 10 minutes from stadium). Have friends that are sitting in stadium keeping us posted, right now 8:30 pm start. We packed up and headed into garage to find it starting to pour again...

Jim is hoping to be healthy for our trip. He used to always get sick when we traveled, including our honeymoon when he had the flu and I was trapped in our room with my new sick husband and tropical downpours outside at a couples only resort.

I guess I'll be watching Deadliest Catch in a few.

Ok, so I'm still on track to do a secret upgrade for the family when we check in.

I got the part that we need to get there early to checkin and head down to the supervisors desk. I also read on the main board that they usually have a laminated card that shows them CM what to charge from category to category for that cruise.

Here's my question - I read on the main board that it's allowed for one person to bring all the docs to check in even if the others are not present.

If this is true, assuming that one person comes early and the rest of the family trails along later, how does the rest of the family get in the terminal. Don't they have to have their documents?

Thoughts?

Kritter - I loved the pictures from the wedding. They so pretty.

... and now : "my" GREAT news !!!!

WE have our stateroom # !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2546 !!!



Laura - congrats on your upgrade. That is great.

Janeanne

 

[kritter]

Kristin -

Your girls were gorgeous and the family pictures shows what a good looking family you have!!!!

Are the girls wearing those dresses on the cruise? They are so cute in them!!!!

Thanks for sharing the photos with us!

Jen

PS - I am going to leave the house to tutor soon! I will be back by 2:00 and be home the rest of the day!!! Chat soon!

Jen,

Yes, they want to wear the dresses on the cruise!!

 

[kritter]

... and now : "my" GREAT news !!!!

WE have our stateroom # !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2546 !!!

What a great upgrade we got !!!

It's a cat. 9 , with a large porthole !! Fwd/Mid.
I personally would have been HAPPY with an inside cabin , sideways layout - which we tried two years ago , a bit roomier ...
BUT now the sun light of the large porthole is a real UNEXPECTED bonus !!!

We might get some loud entertainment from the dance club above us ( I guess !) ... but we always are so sleepy after a looong day on the ship or ashore ...

Can't wait to be onboard ... in MY cabin !!

THANK YOU Disney "magic" !!!!!!!!

laura

YEAH,, CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kritter]

Kristen-You have a beautiful family. Loved the girls dresses-hope they're wearing them onboard; would love to see them in person.

Laura and Marco-Congrats on the assignment and upgrade.

Thanks, Yes they want to wear them on the cruise......My cousin had gotten them little yellow flip-flops from J.Crew to wear after the pictures so that they would be more comfortable than their dress shoes, so they may wear those on the cruise too!! They were wicked cute with big yellow flowers on the tops of the toes too!!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!!!

It is raining in Minnesota today - and that is GREAT! First, it means that I do not have to jog today!!!!! Second, we needed rain horribly and the grass is finally getting the soaking it needs!

Here are some questions to help us think happy Disney thoughts for the day:

1. When you first get on board, where are you planning on eating lunch?We plan to eat at Parrot Cay, then off to the pools!

2. What do you do to pass time until the deck party and sail away time? this will be my SIL and family's first cruise ever - we're gonna explore...

3. If you have cruised before, what is one activity that you really recommend?this is from our DS - "Room service!"

4. Have you "studied" the navigator and already made plans for what you want to do on board?Are you kidding?! I printed out the old ones and highlighted them already...! That doesn't mean that times/schedules won't change but we have a pretty good idea of what we will look to do. Now, for those of you who have also "studied" them, has anyone discovered what night will have the chocolate dessert buffet???

5. At WDW, we try to do "Random Acts of Kindness" and give away fast passes to other families on our way out of the park. Are there random acts of kindness things that you can think of on the cruise?to me, those acts are what makes the trip so full of disney magic - total strangers going out of their way to make someone else's trip better. We try to 'pay it forward" at WDW but I don't know what opportunities will present themselves to do this on the cruise. We'll definitely try though....

Here is my question: how many celebrations do we have in our thread to celebrate on the cruise or in WDW?? We have several in our family:

11th: Sean's 43rd birthday
16: BIL's 40-something birthday
18: DN's 7th birthday
We're also going to try and celebrate Tess' upcoming 10th birthday on September 3!

...I have to keep reading the new posts!....

Hi Jude,

Just wanted to make sure Tess received Amanda's email.

Kristin, what adorable dresses!!! and I had to laugh at "wicked" cute - I haven't heard anyone use that adjective in such a long time!! It was my college roommate's favorite saying!! (dating myself here. LOL)

We have our fingers crossed that the rain will finally go away by Thursday night. My Dad was asked to throw out the first pitch for our local minor league team, the ValleyCats. And what great timing - we are having a surprise 45th anniversary party for my parents on Saturday so the whole family should be in by Thursday night to go to the game.

...we've been "off" the home computer for a while so I promise that Tess will email Amanda back today!!

Gotta get to work. Have a great day everyone!!! (...yes, it is raining here AGAIN...)

Good Morning Everyone! We finally have the start of a sunny day today!!! I am hoping that means it will be warm too!!!!

Just to let you all know...when I updated the website today, I added a bit of fun for all the kids!!! If you go on the JUST FOR FUN page, I made a Disney Cruise word find that can be downloaded and printed out. Don't know if it is easy or hard...just thought it could be a bit of fun!

Feel better Jen!!

Thanks Kristin! Still have a major runny nose, stuffy head and scratchy throat! I am hoping that a couple of days of rest, juice and some medicine will take care of it all.

Aug 12 is our departure date ( 3 day drive to fl.) Counting down
Still a lot to do, finsh FE items, make our magnets and teeshirts. review packing list. Pack

Good Luck with it all Ed! We depart on August 6th and I am trying really hard to get everything done. I am feeling pretty good though now that things are actually falling into place!

Have a great day everyone!!!
