[disney honeymooners]

I got my phone and I'm using it 2 reply I love it. Karen we have 2 dogs kendal and dooley.
I got the photopass email I'm gonna mail you a check next week is that ok?
Did we decide on a time 4 the meet at jellyrolls? Only 20 days left woohoo!

 

[karentan]

i think we decided on 8pm, it opens at 7, but the entertainment doesnt start til 8.

i got my cruise documents this morning by fedex!!

 

[m_kasch]

Karen, YAY for getting documents!! Mine will be here tomorrow. You can track there here:

just put in your Disney confirmation number in the reference box. How fun!!

Well, I have to get ready to drive to St. Louis now...4.5 hours. Blah, it's SUCH a boring ride in central IL there is nothing at all to look at. My hotel should have a view of the arch though, so thats cool!

 

[karentan]

cor you're all travelling before the holidays! but we can now officially say that we're going on holiday this month!!!!!!

 

[jenny105]

HAPPY SEPTEMBER!

I was so excited this morning to flip my calendar to September. Disney World and DCL are written in huge letters across the days we'll be there. I can't believe it's almost here!!!!

 

[karentan]

not long to go now! it doesnt seem that long ago that it was over 6 months away. now its almost here and i keep thinking i've forgotten to do/book something

now that we've got a cruise name (thanks jenny!!) i've made a magnet for everyone with the name and our dates on them. they're only really small (i needed to do 10, plus a couple more of my magnets and i only had one sheet of magnetic paper left) but they look quite good i think. just a bit of fun really!

 

[jenny105]

Awesome! Yay! I'll have a magent!

I'm in SUCH a good mood today lol. I remember when we were all excited that our countdowns were under 100 days and now we'll all be there in 3 weeks! Can you believe it???

 

[karentan]

including the goombay magnet, you'll have 4 coming from me. got a bit carried away when you said you couldnt do any magnets!!

its getting so close for me now!! i've told gary that before he leaves for scotland on saturday, he needs to get all his clothes out that he wants to take with him, that way i can get it all washed, ironed and packed.
i've also got to try and find a box so i can pack all the FE bags together.

 

[jenny105]

Wow, thanks Karen! I feel so loved.

 

[karentan]

they're personalised too (apart from the goombay one) so very little chance of someone taking them off your door!

i think i've gone a bit over the top with mine though, i had a fair few from last year that i'm reusing, and i've made a load more, my door is definately going to be colorful!! (and easy to find!)

 

[jenny105]

Your room will be easy to spot when I'm making FE runs. After naming it the Goombay Smash tour, we better all have one. Joe is going to have no idea what's going on.

 

[disney honeymooners]

We got our cruise docs 2day. I can't wait to see the goombay magnet oh are we still going to epcot emh after jellyrolls?
I added something to the bandana I'm wearing for pirates night I'm getting back in a crafting mood.
Karen how much longer til yall leave?

 

[karentan]

yeah i've made 10 goombay magnets so we'll all have one, as i said though they're only tiny i ran out of magnetic paper.... knew i should have bought more than 5 sheets!!
i dont think joe will be the only one not sure of whats going on with the goombays, i'm sure some of the FE people who dont post here as often probably wont know that we've named the cruise!!

only 10 days to go for us now lainey, so we're nearly in SDD mode!! well technically 9 days because i'm counting from when we leave the house, not when we fly. for me the holiday starts when we leave the house, we get the night at the airport, then we fly out early in the morning next saturday.
hows the last minute wedding stuff going? not long for you now either!! hope you have an amazing day!

 

[jenny105]

Ooh, maybe we'll get our cruise docs today! That would brighten up the work day. It's been a little slow around here because it's so close to Labor Day. Our busy season is coming to an end. I'm dreading winter here because last year I basically sat and stared at my monitor, blinking.

I have been checking my passport status online (I was starting to worry I wouldn't get it on time) but it was mailed yesterday! I should have sometime next week.

Now all I have to worry about is packing, picking up some snacks for the car ride, and buying a memory card for my camera. I think I'm going to get a haircut before vacation too. It's been awhile...

18 days til I'm in Disney, 17 days til I leave!

 

[karentan]

and even shorter til your universal fam!!

 

[jenny105]

I'm looking forward to that but not as much lol.

 

[karentan]

yeah because ITS NOT DISNEY!!!

i really need to get off my butt and go out, i've been sat watching tv and applying for jobs more most of the day, i need to go to the bank but the sofa is so much nicer than the thought of going out in the cold
cor i'm lazy!

 

[jenny105]

Exactly! I'm looking forward to it because it'll pass the time more quickly than sitting in this office will! That's part of the reason I signed up!

 

[disney honeymooners]

jen i hope you get our docs today i was shocked when i got to my moms and my little brother had taken the liberty of cutting them open for me i was scared he may have cut one of the ones that i would need but i got lucky he missed them. how is everyones week going so far? my week is going great other than haveing a headache im doing good, karen the last minute plans are going great everything is pretty much done other than the decorations for the church pews all of the favors are done. i love our favors i know its dorky but we did little boxes with reesies pieces and we put on the card "we love you to pieces" i thought it was funny plus those are about the only candies w/chocolate that i actually like. its sad but i already have everything (short of blow dryer and straightener) ironed and packed i guess its so i know that i am not forgetting anything al of the Fe's are packed alsosome people will have their stateroom number on their bag and some wont i kinda got busy with wedding stuff and forgot to do it and now they are packed and i dont want to get them back out (im a bum i know) im also bringing alot of neon bracelets for the Pirates deck party i was gonna put them in yalls bag(forgive me i had a blonde moment) it for some reason didnt cross my mind that when they bend they start to glow and are no good at that point i went through quite a few before figuring it out so my little brother ended up w/alot of glow in the dark jewelry that is how out of it i have been now i am just taking them and giving them to everyone when i pass out the FE's and to all my dinner buddies that night.
My bruises are getting better from my fall but it still hurts to walk alittle dont know how i am gonna get a pedicure if they dont heal more oh well. i will talk to yall later.
