8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #12

Can i try

Almost

Yea Cherie

Dang, she must have snuck in on the laptop

Hoping she would do that eventually Way to go wench

DH is feeling really bad..... He doesn't know if it is the pain in his neck and back (he has degenative (sp?) disc disease) or the lack of sleep from the extreme pain the last few days that is the problem. So he came home from work early and went to bed. I doubt if he has slept much....
I think he needs to find a Dr and see about doing the disc replacement surgery -- I can't remember the total number but, he is missing several discs. His migraines might go away...also....

I feel really bad for any of you that have chronic pain.

I've had disc problems with my neck in the past, avoided surgery with 2 courses of steroids, but obviously not as bad as your DH
I had to sleep in a neck brace or I would wake up in pain several times during the night if I moved my neck
I've been pretty lucky the past few years that it hasn't come back.

Hope your DH feels better soon
Does he sleep better on the cruise ?

 

[winotracy]

I'm wondering that too.
I'd love to know our muster station for rooms 6130 and 6231. please!

6130 is likely in AP. Did you mean 6131? If so, that is likely there too. If not, you will be on the non-sunny side outside in the first station from the back of the ship.

Man I wish i could find this dress in an XL or even larger than that if I had to!
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-DISNEY-MICK...3807675QQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

That's the set our family has. My dress is size M and I SQUEEZED into it (barely) just for dinner on the last cruise -so we'd all match. I bought it back when i'd lost over 80lbs, then our cruise got postponed over a year and a half later (due to holiday breaks changing on the school schedules) and by that time I'd gained almost all of it back.
I tried it on.... no way i can squeeze into it now! I guess that's proof positive that I've gained even more since the last cruise. LOL

BUT I just realized...... Ruby's dress last time was a wee bit too short by the time she wore it- and will fit Rita fine now! Jeff and Robert's shirts still fit- I already knew that the other day I had them try them on. And my M dress should be fine on Ruby!
But that leaves me out...... and the only dresses I can find in this design on ebay is a size small and size L.... the medium is so tight I really need to go XL or even XXL would work if I had to go larger.

ANY ideas where I might find that dress to buy or even if I had to just borrow it for one evening? I wonder if it would do any good to post about it on disboards somewhere? Or is it a hopeless thing to try to get the dress in this design for me so we'd all match?

Is the real name of that "design" -Lula? Maybe if I knew the real name of that design I could have a chance at finding it somewhere online?

If I can't find that dress- we won't all match and I'd be the oddball out. Any ideas on what I could wear that would match reasonably well so I don't stick out like a sore thumb? Do you think something else solid color or something would "go" okay rather than another tropical disney design? help!

Well..it's been a short night of sleep...went to bed 3 hours ago..and a neighbors car just woke me up...seems thier horn just went on and stuck,,,took them 15 minutes to get out there to turn it off..problem is...now I am awake!

Bleah! Happy Saturday!

LOL
OmG I keep doing typos when I type our rooms!
Yes they are 6130 and 6131, I don't know what is wrong with me when I type our room numbers. no one ask me my room number on the cruise because I might tell you the wrong room. LOL

But that would be so awesome if we're in AP.
I can't remember if we're aft... are we? man I'm bad at geography even on the ship. LOL

Okay found a map- we are aft... and I saw the discussion about aft of the elevators meeting in AP. What wonderful news. woohoo! LOL

I have the dress but I think it is a large also...it no longer fits me...which I wish it did because DD still fits hers (its short but will do for the evening) and DH has his shirt. I will check in the morning when I can get in my room and not wake up DH

Oh please check!
if it's large- it might stilll work if you don't mind bringing it. If it fits I can just borrow it or buy it if you prefer I did that?
I would imagine if it's a L I could squeeze into it about as good as I squeezed into the M on the last cruise..... but I just don't want to pay a ton for that L one on ebay and then have it be TOO small to even squeeze into. (the squeezing into parts are the chest and hiney area.... but mostly the chest LOL)

(ps does yours no longer fit you because it's too BIG now? Because if so... you could maybe wear my size M dress. Ruby doesn't really HAVE to have it... the kids aren't planning on eating dinner with us anyway and it's not like she'll be around to match us really. LOL or.... she could wear the M just for the one evening so we can get pictures all matching and then give you the M dress? It's not like after this that everything is going to fit us again in a couple of years- if we cruise again in a couple of years. LOL Robert's shirt for sure won't fit by then anyway LOL)

Yes you are aft and on the port side. On all decks x0xx is forward and port, x5xx is forward and starboard. They are then numbered all the way down the side of the ship until they run out of numbers and then it changes to x1xx on the port side and x6xx on the starboard side. The only difference to this is Deck 6 which also has rooms x6xx which are forward in a hallway in the middle of the ship.

As I said before, I believe that all the rooms aft of the aft elevators have their muster station in AP, but cannot confirm it.

I will check for you..unfortunately..mine no longer fits because it is to small for me....I could probably squeeze into it but it wont look good...I will let you know ...I will checkout the size

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

I will check for you..unfortunately..mine no longer fits because it is to small for me....I could probably squeeze into it but it wont look good...I will let you know ...I will checkout the size

Oh I'm sorry..... I was gonna be jealous of you if it was too big for you now. LOL
thanks so much.... I really appreciate it!
I guess if worst comes to worst and I can't find it anywhere... I'll just let everyone take a picture without me or with me behind Ruby so all you see is my head? LOL girl is getting tall now...... finally kids tall enough I can hide behind them. LOL

I just wish I'd figured out that the girls dresses would work out this way -because then I could have started earlier on trying to find the dress in a bigger size for me! the boys (Robert/DH) had theirs hanging in the closet- guess where our dresses were? Well Rita wore hers until it got too short. I think it's in her closet now but too short to wear. Anyone need a small (or maybe it's XS) dress in this design? LOL but our dresses were put aside in a box of things to wear on the next cruise. When I went to get the box I'd put our new Disney shirts in- that I'd bought 2yrs ago (after our last cruise when they were on sale on disneydirect.com) -these 2 dresses were in that box. LOL

 

[discruiser]

Cool beans. Robert will be all over that.
Nothing that boy loves more than TALKING. He wouldn't admit that's his FAVORITE thing to do but trust me, it is. LOL (and he comes by it honestly, if you catch my drift.... and I think you do. )

Oh, he will get along great with my DS10 (Nicholas). Honestly, I don't think that boy knows how to not talk! It's funny because when he was 2, he really wasn't talking at all. The pediatrician was a little worried so we had someone from Early Childhood Intervention come by the house once a week to help him with his "speech". We laugh about that now (and how we can't remember when he couldn't talk) because that is all he does now!

We have one other matching set of dresses and I have to see if thos work..if not..I am wearing one of DH shirts with capris...we just won't match...

Hold..I will be right back..I know where the dress is and I am going to sneak into the room and get it..Im curious on the size..I know I wore it in 2005 and I know about what my size was then..brb

LOL!
They should get along great......
Robert started early though. I don't know why! (looks around all innocent like)
I remember when he was 2 and sitting in the cart and SEVERAL times (at walmart, home depot, etc.) I had people come up to me and ask how old he was because he was talking like a big kid and using big words, long sentences, etc. Now truth be told- he was a SMALL kid, so maybe he didn't look 2.... but one time the lady said she was a teacher and that he talked better than her K-1st grade kids. LOL She was just like SHOCKED when I told her he was only 2.
Yeah he's a talker... he'll talk your ear off if you let him! About anything and everything.... let me tell you. That boy can talk..... and talk...... and talk. I'm a big talker myself and he tires me out- so that says something. LOL

(ps. he's a very verbal kid. We had him tested- long story why.....- in 2nd grade and he tested super mega high like genius level on everything including verbal- except he tested SUPER LOW on nonverbal things. Like emotion recognition/facial expressions/body language/etc. He's a super verbal kid- who doesn't recognize by your body language or facial expression that he's talking a bit too much LOL You have to TELL him or he doesn't get it and just keeps on going... can't recognize by facial expressions or body language people's emotions: mad/sad/happy/etc. either. Well he's better about it now... had to go thru some counseling and work on things like recognizing facial expressions and body language and such- but he's still not great at it)

I still remember when he was around 2 and Rita was born that we'd just carry on these long conversations and he'd ask about everything in the world but he would NOT ever shut up so that Rita could sleep... he'd wake her up with his talking constantly LOL

All my kids were (and still are) "talkers". We have no idea why.
really.
*hehe*
Well that's definitely not something I can blame on DH... he's the strong silent type LOL We drive the poor guy nuts with all the talking going on around here nonstop....

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

Never mind...it was my other Mickey dress where I knew it was..I know i have that dress and will look for it later on when I can go thru the closet in the light and let you know....

I have lost 25 pounds so far but I still don't think it will fit me..I will let you know.

Thank you dear! No rush... it's not like we're getting on the ship tomorrow. hehe

 

[jship210]

Okay....here she is......we weren't sure at first if we were getting a boy or a girl.....but one look at those huge headlights and we KNEW it was a girl!!




Looks like a toy next to the Yukon XL...and this is a good angle where it doesn't look so small...

Very Nice, how is it to drive? It looks so neat, Great colors! Good Luck with it

LOOOVE TARGET!!! So glad there is one down the street from the hojo's!

Does that mean it is walkable? Looking to get to a target or Walmart for various provisions, e.g shower gel, suncream etc. which it seems pointless to drag from the UK when it may not even arrive in LA!

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Had to look at mine after reading your post- ours shows Monday at Sea- but nothing about panama canal. weird, but we obviously have to go thru there. I guess they consider that a "sea" day.


Cool beans. Robert will be all over that.
Nothing that boy loves more than TALKING. He wouldn't admit that's his FAVORITE thing to do but trust me, it is. LOL (and he comes by it honestly, if you catch my drift.... and I think you do. )
and you know what? I'm such a dork.
When I first read your post it wasn't JUST the age thing but also since you said from a different country/etc. And I totally didn't pay attention it was YOU that wrote that and doh... you're from the UK and we're in the US so duh..... different country. I'm a moron sometimes. LOL
They'll have to meet up sometime somewhere. Unfortunately Robert will be in the 8-10 age group. He turns 11 in early Nov though! So hopefully there isn't a huge age difference between the boys.

I have found when we are in the USA, kids there are very interested in England and London, and ask a lot of questions. I presume due to the very strong links between our two countries, and our history, and of course the common language between us.

Stephen has always had good friends on each cruise, He was asked once if he know the Queen and did we had afternoon tea? His reply was seen the Queen on TV, and we have McDonald's.

We have been told we talk funny, but we say we invented it!

It is approximately 3 1/2 miles down Harbor from Disneyland..

12100 Harbor Blvd
Garden Grove, CA 92840
(714) 971-4826

There is another approximately 3 miles away:

101 S Euclid St
Anaheim, CA 92802
(714) 422-1120

This one is the next major street North of Harbor. This is the one closer to Hojos.

They probably gave you the AAA family plan where kids are free. Ours for 10k of coverage to cover the plane tickets and excursions on the cruise was $204.00. It will cover you, don't worry. I confirmed the coverage for being quarantined with the rep since this was my greatest concern for such a long trip. We have used this policy on every cruise. It usually only runs us $90 for a 7 day cruise with 5 days in WDW beforehand so that is about what I figured it would be.

We bought the insurance when we booked the cruise - so I am assuming that Disneys insurance includes sick time in the cabin ?????
