Donna, I like your new car!! Very nice!! I want to get an SUV when I get a new car, if we still live here in winter death by then. I love love love my car that I have now!! I have a green bug, and it's just wonderful!! I have flower leis around the headrests, and fun stickers in the back side windows...and I ALWAYS have one of my many Mickey antennae toppers on!! Right now it is a new one, a mickey ice cream bar with a bite out of one ear!! I'll have to post a picture of her sometime (It's a girl, and I call her Lulu...and you can just call me crazy!! )

Oh my goodness, you have Kelly's dream car! When she bought her first car last year, she looked and looked for a used green bug...and when she couldn't find it she got a bright blue Aveo.

I am glad there is someone else besides us that gives their cars a name! Everyone in my house does the same thing. The car I traded in was Kyoko, Bob's car is Monty and Kelly's car is "The Tardis" (because it is bigger on the inside then it looks on the outside). When I brought home the new car last everyone wanted to take it for a test drive. I kept repeating "No, it's mine" This morning Kelly decided my car's name is Sookie. The reason she decided on Sookie is that the main female character in True Blood is Sookie...Sookie is dating Vampire Bill. Whenever any other male tries to get close to or hurt Sookie, Bill says "Sookie is Mine" Since I kept saying "No it's Mine" the car is now Sookie.

ooh, they've updated the disney cruise website! looks posh!

 

[m_kasch]

Ooooooooooo the new website is very fancy and cool!! I like it!!

I had to come home from work because I am having mad sinus pressure today. However, it has decided to be summer for the moment and thunderstorm...i swear, as soon as it started to rain I could feel the pressure start to relieve. Plus, I stopped at target on the way home and got the mucinex with the pseudophedrine in it -- i couldn't get it this morning because the pharmacy wasn't open yet -- and that works miracles too!!

I wonder what's going on with the ship, it hasn't left yet. I was bummed because I thought I would miss it leaving, but I didn't, maybe it was just waiting for me???

Hey yall im not worried about being uncomfortable at the wedding or reception it was my mom that wanted to make sure i was comfortable i figured i would get some unbiased opinions about how i look in it thank you yall confirmed what i had originally decided and that is the PANEL STAYS OUT!!!!
Donna i like your car my next one is def gonna have to be a suv b/c our driveway is gravel not paved so my little mazda 3 is getting a beating. oh is the f&wf after the cruise?
I will try and get some pictures of the wedding to bring with us but im not making any promises but i will post them after the cruise if yall still want to talk to me after the cruise JK
Karen i coppied your idea but i have run out of crafty ideas so it is just a sad plain white board to put on the door no DRUNK SIGNING!! well that could be a funny memento to have and to show my family

I'll have to check out the new DCL site at work tomorrow. I'm at home now and I'm lucky enough to get on the DIS, this computer is so slow. I plan on getting a new one before the cruise so I can do an awesome TR. And buy Sims 3.

I was trying to get on the DIS all afternoon but work was SO busy after I got back from lunch. I had like 6 people in a row!! Made the day go by fast though. I think my co-worker jinxed us cause he said we've been slowing down since the beginning of the month. Guess he was wrong!

I was on tripadvisor looking up WL and AKL and they have virtual tours of each resort. You can look at 360 pictures of the pool, rooms, lobby, etc. It was pretty cool. They both look so gorgeous, I can't wait to stay deluxe!!

I have to finish my FEs!! I haven't even bought all of the stuff for it yet! I'm slacking!

 

[karentan]

i got all my FE stuff out earlier to have a look, i've bought lots of little things, i think i'm going to buy some candy to put in there too but i dont think i'll buy any more stuff, i think the bags i bought are too big though, they just look a bit empty

i've gotta drive down to bournemouth (about 3 and a half hours drive) tomorrow, i'm picking up a friend so she can come up here for a few days, she's been a bit down so she's coming here for the weekend. it'll be nice but i'm not looking forward to the 7 hour round trip

Lainey...GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS! I love it! Man, makes me miss my wedding dress. This was mine in 2005:

I actually got a lot of flack about that dress from the church we were married in. It was "too revealing"!!!

Finally able to get onto the new site, it looks great! I noticed that I was able to fill out some of the online check in stuff today, so I went ahead and did that.

We also talked about breakfast on cruise morning and decided that we're going to just go ahead and do it. We're going to Boma at 7:55 a.m. to get our drink on and our snack on. Tried Ohana's and Kona, but they're all booked up.

It was a busy day for me today. Lots of spreadsheets and charts to make.

 

[Dr.Girlfriend]

at some point on drop off day we've gotta go dump the car back to the rental place at DTD and check in to SSR so its going to be a bit of a rush day. hoping to fit in some of F&WF too.

a few months back i bought an A4 magnetic whiteboard, with the intention of putting it on our stateroom door so we/other people can leave messages. one of our FE group did it last year and i thought it was a cool idea.
its since kinda evolved into the idea that i'm going to add a permanent marker to it so people can leave us messages and we can keep it as a kinda cool souvenir so then i started thinking of how i could decorate it so it doesnt look so plain.......

please bear in mind that i am the least crafty person around, i'd love to get into scrapbooking and crafting etc but i just dont have the craft gene in me, but here's what i've come up with:

if you dont mind, ccould you leave a message if/when you're passing our door, i'm thinking it'd be kinda like those signature plates they have instead of guestbooks at weddings, think it'd be a cool souvenir!

I love this idea! I'll have to make a midnight sneaky writing run one evening....

 

[karentan]

how was your dress too revealing?
steph your dress is stunning too! i love seeing people's wedding photos, before i got married i wasnt really into weddings, but now i love them!

 

[karentan]

well i was supposed to be driving down to bournemouth today to go pick up a friend so she can come up here for a few days, but it looks like i'm going tomorrow instead. it means i get a nice lazy day today instead!

 

[karentan]

just to confuse things even more, the disney cruise website has gone back to the old one

[jenny105]

Nice wedding pictures everyone! I have none to share, sadly. Lol just kidding. One day, hopefully!

Steph, I really like your wedding dress. How is that too revealing???

565 people????? Did you even get to see all of them??

I just went on the DCL website. Same as it ever was.

 

[m_kasch]

I don't have any digital pics from my wedding. Maybe i'll scan them in for you all. I loved my dress!!

I went to the Disney Cruise site yesterday 3 times, one was the new site, the other 2 were the old site. Who knows, they have A LOT of technical difficulties!!

 

[jenny105]

Disney and internet technology do not seem to go hand in hand.

 

[karentan]

it still makes me laugh when the first thing they ask when you call disney cruise is "are you having technical difficulties with our site". not press one to book, press two for etc......
i know its a very complicated website, but surely a company the size of disney should have some of the best IT people out there?

on a totally different note, i have come to a serious conclusion.......
having to take the dog out + torrential rain + thunder storm + metal framed umbrella = a really BAD idea!!!!!!!!!!!
the rain is the worst we've had for a few months and as soon as i get to the park, it chucks it down. absolutely threw it down...... cerby didnt enjoy it at first, think he got a lot of water in his ears, but he got used to it and had a good run around
i'm drying out slowly now i'm back in the warm.....

 

[jenny105]

My dog used to love going out in the rain. But he hated baths lol. Go figure. He used to run around like a nut whenever he came back in the house after being out in the rain.
