steph, they're adorable!! what are the eyes made out of?

The whites are white chocolate discs and the pupils are chocolate chips. I put the chocolate chips on a butter knife, heated the back of the knife up and let the back of the chocolate chips melt a little, then stuck them on the white chocolate.

they're really cute, did you come up with the idea yourself?

What. The. Hell. How can anybody be that into themselves?


Our power went out twice again today but luckily it came right back on this time. This place is ridiculous.

the look on the groom's face is kinda funny too, its like he's thinking "what the hell am i letting myself in for?"

Steph, those cupcakes are really cute!! My sister did Elmo for my neice's first birthday...lets just say, the red icing was a MESS, and hard to get off!!

I'll be in line at the port to get on the ship at 9:30, which I know is totally unnecessary, but I am SO READY for this cruise!! So i'll have my FE up ASAP. And, if I change rooms, i'll let you all know...hopefully, I can change to a veranda on deck 7, LOL...wishful thinking!!

Lainey, I finished reading Eclipse yesterday...and I had to go out and buy Breaking Dawn right away, especially since somone at the conferece slipped and let me know about the little surprise that comes up in Breaking Dawn...i'm just done with the Bella part of Breking Dawn and moving on to Jacob...it's a little disturbing, but we'll see how it turns out!! But don't tell me!! I'm sure i'll have it done by the end of this week!!

Karen, what are your plans for Saturday the 19th? I think Amy and I will be drinking around the world at Epcot that day, if you are going to be at Epcot. And we're doing the extra magic hours think in the morning at the Studios too.

Talk to you all later!!

mary, we're in HS that day, got a lunch ressie at 50s prime time. then we're going to the MK dessert party in the evening, you should come to that!
we did the getting to the port at 9am thing last year, and they definately stick to the "no access til 10am" rule. we were waiting round for best part of an hour. it was boring. but hey its a good place to wait. i think this year we'll aim to get there for 10, not 9.

if anyone in the FE changes room number please make sure you come to the cruise meet and let us know!

 

[jenny105]

I'm aiming to get to the port around 11-11:30. As long as I beat the resort buses there, I'm happy. That'll be the majority of people checking in.

I got my documents today!

I finished reading Breaking Dawn a couple months ago. I get so annoyed with Bella lol. I got through her parts slowly and sped through Jacob's...he's just so much more likeable.

 

[karentan]

yay for all the cruise documents arriving!!

i cant believe that i'll be at the airport in a week. garys been working late all this week and he's going back to scotland tomorrow til thursday so it'll be nice actually spending some time with him while on holiday.
we fly out in 180 hours!! (i've got a countdown on my computer!!)

 

[jenny105]

Have you gotten your documents yet, Karen?

 

[karentan]

yeah i got mine tuesday i think. its only really the luggage tags anyway, i've done all the online check in stuff.

apparently they dont send out ME tags to the UK anymore so we've got to claim our luggage and take it with us. either that or if we want them to claim it we've got to give them the luggage tags that the check in people give us and a detailled description of the bags.
for a person who probably couldnt give a detailled decription of her own husband without looking at him , thats not easy! i thin i'll stick to picking them up ourselves.

 

[jenny105]

I've never checked my bags with ME. I've always gotten my bags myself and taken them on the bus with me. I'm one of those people that checks into a hotel and unpacks right away so I don't have to worry about it later.

 

[karentan]

i think thats what we'll do anyway, i've heard that it can take a few hours to deliver your luggage, and we dont land at MCO til 7.30pm so who knows what time we'll get back to the hotel? we plan on going to DTD for an hour or so, but at that point we'll have been up for 22 hours, so i dont want to have to stay up waiting for the luggage to arrive, if i'm tired, i want to sleep! then again its disney so i'll probably still be on the "we're in disney" high!!

 

[jenny105]

When I went down a couple years ago, we drove straight through the night without stopping. I thought I'd be exhausted when we got there but ended up staying at DHS for EMH! I think I was up for almost 48 hours with maybe a couple hours of sleep thrown in.

 

[karentan]

i wish MK was open later than 10pm on saturday 12th, if we get to SSR and in the room at anywhere near 9pm (which i doubt to be honest) i'll do a u-turn and head straight to MK. probably wont be able to go on anything, but i want to be in MK as soon as poss! at the very worst though, we're heading there sunday night after seaworld for EMH.

 

[jenny105]

We're going to go to MK our first night too! We have an ADR at DHS for 5:40 and were originally planning on seeing Fantasmic but Joe would rather see Wishes. I'm not a huge fan of Fantasmic anyway so I don't mind. MK is my favorite park and I love EMH there!

 

[karentan]

i hope we can get to MK in time, if we were hiring a car from the airport i'd just go straight to MK, but we're not so we have to go via the hotel first lol
