8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #9

[Reenieny18]

Posts on the Kid's meet thread.... I want to say that I am so jealous that so many of your children love to read!! Both of our boys (28 & 10) are avid readers, DH & I both read ALOT!

But, for some reason our girls don't care for books.
Our 17dd only reads what is assigned to her. 6dd (almost 7) told us *I'm too cool for books* and they way it was said it sounded like she really is too cool for books!

I was really upset the other night while i was talking to dh about this..... I carry books & reading material with me every where! I always have at least one book in my purse!!

I too feel that way about the boys and girls reading. My DD19 could care less about reading.. but my DS 15 reads all the time. I also, have reading material with me at all times. when I pick them up from school functions and of cousre they are always on time to come out to the car..
I will read a book or magazine.

Not sure if anyone has looked into SPF clothing. I'm not sure that it even works, but I decided to pick up a couple of shirts to try out, especially for Panama Canal crossing day....

I ordered from Lands End... In case anyone is intrested, here are a couple of links...

SPF Shirt 1

SPF Shirt 2

Another approach to consider: I ran all the outdoor shirts I brought last summer through RIT sunguard - it adds SPF protection to your clothing.

Wow, everyone is in such planning mode. I can't seem to get there totally, since life is taking up a big portion of my time. We have our oldest DS's wedding this saturday. DH and I found out we are going to be grandparents. Hooray!! Now I can start taking grandkids on cruises. My brother is getting married the following saturday. We also volunteer for boyscout fundraisers alot during the summer months. I can not wait until this cruise.
I did order the t-*****s and some totes. I need to do alot more though.

Welcome to all newcomers. Happy Birthday's to all I've missed.

Congrats on the upcoming wedding and of course being a grandma.. I hope all goes with both occasions.. And a brother getting married too? Doesnt he know your planning a Disney Cruise here??

I plan on doing the same thing but I do need clothes too!! I also like to carry my formal wear because I hate shopping for it!!

Shame on you for making your poor lil miss cut the grass. I just stand and watch John and hold open a lawn bag once in awhile.

Oh Good............my feet have not been in heels for years. I wish there were dress gym shoes!!!

I am carry one of my formals in my carry on because it is a full length beaded gown and it weighs too much to pack!

I told Katherine that from the very beginning that she should not volunteer to help with any *man chores* because she is a GIRL. And if she helps once then her dh will expect her to always help.

Heels? What are heels?

Dh asked me once why I carry a bag of stuff to read.....*Because I'm always waiting for your children to get out of an activity/class!* LOL!

I just bought a sundress today at Kohl's. Buy one get one free. My Mom bought one and I got the free one. Also found a pair of flats to go with my Princess dress. They are dressy but flat (no heels).



Cute. I have a flowered skirt I may wear...or a print shirt with capris.

"I went to
kohls as well today. I bought a pair of water sneaker shoes.or trek shoes. At Eastern Mountain Sports they are $110 and at Kohls today...$24.99 on sale from $50. I am hoping to wear these for the zip line adventure and the Shot over ride. I didnt want to ruin a good pair of running shoes in case they got wet.. and I would need more then a sandel on these excursions. Has anyone ever worn these before?

DH and i have the tropical mickey outfits like the ones shown in this photo...

I'm so far behind I didn't even read the last pages of the last thread. Let me know if I missed anything good

I John Wayne movies!!!

My DH is a big fan too. We have tons of his movies on video or DVD. "True Grit" is the movie I like the most, but it is pretty cool seeing him in some of his early movies (Stagecoach, etc)

Someone started posting Navs from the WB.

On one of the days for attire it says "Formal (No Shorts)"

I thought we couldn't (and I use that loosely) wear shorts to dinner? Can we wear shorts to dinner?

I am so confused!

Chrissie

I think DCL requests no shorts, but they will not throw anybody out of the dining rooms for wearing them (thus resulting in huge fights on the main forum ). Palo will turn people away if wearing shorts though.

I'm not really in planning mode yet either and I don't even have your reasons/excuses

Those sound great. I need to get my family some water shoes too, except I need them with me to try things on and they all hate to shop
What kind/brand did you get ? Is Eastern Mountain Sports a brand name ?

 

[dahuffy]

I am sure we won't be!

I have another flowery hawaiiany dress that I can wear if my circumference doesn't change!


Chrissie

I hear ya Sista Girl!!

 

[dahuffy]

I've got the black and white mickey tropical print skirt from a few years back. Hoping that's out of date enough not to run into too many! Altough, it would make a fun picture to have all the people in the matching shirts/dresses together!

I told Kevin "We'd look like part of the entertainment!"

 

[dahuffy]

Does it match this dress --

I probably won't be wearing this dress on Tropical night BUT, I will wear it either on the cruise or in WDW afterwards.

I have a ton of Disney dresses that I bring with me! I wear them alot at home, also.

That's cuuute!

EMS is a store and yes a brand name.. They have a website as well. I just got a brand from KOHLS. (EVEREST) in red.. They are cute and comfy. My feet too say HEELS?? the torture.... Kohls ahs buy one get one for free too.. so if you can get the family there this week.. it will pay off in the long run...good luck with that!!

Great minds think alike... I am concerned about PC and zipping so I got 2 SPF shirts from REI and the SPF capis/ pants from sport authority..

 

[bellelinus]

I was concerned about this tour too after seeing some of the videos at YouTube, so I emailed DCL excursions. I was worried that it would not be appropriate for my DD10 (though they allow 10 and up) and I was worried the other adults may not appreciate a kid being on what may be an adult excursion. Anyway, DCL ensured me it would be family friendly, so hopefully that means it will be a little bit lighter on the "booze cruise" aspect!!! At least I am hoping because we really want to experience the beach and show part!!!!

Glad to hear this isnt a booze cruise as I will also be going with my DH and 2 kids and others I am cruising with are also bringing their kids.

I am going on this with my three girls (16, 13, 11 by the time we cruise) . . . I just could not believe that a DCL excursion would ever be a "booze cruise" and it looks really exotic . . .

when do the next set of ressies open up? (75 outers?)


chrissie

I see you got the answer already -- tomorrow night at midnight, Eastern time. It's also the 90 day mark for the 5 night cruise following our cruise . . .

Room Tour (Task Force Leader A Litle Pixie Dust – PM to participate)
Ever wonder how the other ½ lives? Take a tour of Category 12 up through Category ?? cabins to see what they look like. Volunteers needed to organize and to host with their cabins.
