I can't find my Disney Dreams folder!!!! I was working with my son to earn his Cub Scout Traveler badge and wanted to show him travel planning BUT it's gone! I could reprint everything but I wrote my shuttle confirmation on my hotel ressie. I recently threw out lots of school stuff and I just hope it wasn't with those folders.

Thanks for the reminder to make the final payment. Off to call my travel agent...

 

[elmo2200]

I almost had a cow! Our final payment was due Aug.10 but I didn't know. I was expecting to receive something that would say how much I owe. Disney accepted our payment and all is good.
My DS and I just watched wonder sailing out to sea. You can see it again on Sunday. We forgot about the hour time difference from Texas but still saw it using the cocoa beach cameras. Here is the website: www.cocoabeachsurf.com At the bottom of the page click on port canaveral camera or if the ship is already going out to sea use the north or central cocoa beach cameras. Enjoy.

scootch - I was looking back on our thread for review and looked at your scrapbook. It is awesome!!! I had no idea how nice digital could be. You were able to puts lots of pics and it didn't even look overdone like it think my pages sometimes do. Beautiful family. Did you make it on shutterfly?

Thanks. Yes, I used shutterfly. I have used other sites, but they have the best choice of backgrounds and page layouts. I do them every year for my girls(when I was one, when I was two, ect..) and then have done the last few disney trips and our NYC trip. You can work on it a bit, and then save your work and go back to it. They print wonderfully and the bindings are great too! The closest mall from me is about 45min to an hour away, so I could never do traditional scrapbooking, we just don't get anywhere I could pick up the embellisments and such at... so the photobooks have been a great way to "scrapbook" digitally. I hope to learn how to use photoshop and do all my pages that way. Just depends on when I ever find the time to figure photoshop out as my husbands tech guy put the software on our computer. Thanks for the complements!!

My girls are back to school(and so is daddy) as of today. Get this, our school has an auction each year. I bought a gym membership. It was one of the first items sold, so it only went for $60. It just said "preferred membership on it". I went today to check the place out and here my membership includes all the gym equipment and all the aerobic classes.... for a YEAR! I can't believe it. Guess that was a great buy! I did feel a bit awkward going in not knowing anyone. I actually start exercising there tomorrow so hopefully I wont' have too much anxiety going. I really want to drop 15 lbs.


Question for the FE bunch, any steeler fans out there??? just wondering, I live right outside Pittsburgh.

 

[LynnF0513]

Tracey ~ I sent you the e-mail today. Sorry I haven't been on much over the weekend. If you have problems viewing it etc let me know.

Amy ~ I BLEED YELLOW AND BLACK. The Steelers are my Fave team (and no I didn't jump on the bandwagon when they started winning I was there through the losing seasons as well )
GO STEELERS!

 

[anetnmike]

Hey Amy! I, being a Chicagoan, of course am a BEARS FAN.
However I happen to know my good friends, Laura and Mike, are Steelers fans for sure
( I admit to being a casual Steelers fan as well when the Bears are sucking! which, unfortunately for us, happens with more frequency than we care to admit to)

 

[Alice_on_WONDERland]

Well friends... I am back to school today...

I guess it just means I'm one step closer to our cruise!

 

[LynnF0513]

I am right there with you. I started back on Monday! I thought I started back the 26th but I was wrong. Fall semester snuck right up on me. I know there are a few of us taking classes this semester so GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

 

[anetnmike]

Oh you guys! Good Luck! I go back Sept.2. and end Oct21. We are all going to be needing vacation badly aren't we?

oooo.... a FE gift idea Well I started at the gym yesterday, went much better than I thought. I feel it this morning for sure. Hopefully I can keep it up. I really have no excuse not to now... I have the gym membership, it cost me next to nothing and the girls are in school.

Anyone else on the waitlist for early dining??? I am starting to give up hope on that one. Oh well, since hubby isnt' going, other than the effects of Animators, we really just need some food to eat. My kids will be too busy and excited to want to do a sit down meal anyhow.

 

[ljm23]

Just did all our online registration stuff, SO exciting!
Now have to start working on the FE gifts, and an extender OMG I'm way behind! How many nights are we doing the FE exchange, all three? Anyone have any "NY" type favorites (ie, yankees, mets, jets, giants, or anything else)?
And yes, we're big STEELERS fans in our house!

 

[LynnF0513]

Amy ~ Good for you! I feel so much better when I work out...which reminds me...why don't I do it?

Laura ~ For the most part everyone is giving one gift. I believe this is due to it only being a 3 day cruise so everyone wants to maximize their time doing activities instead of running around delivering FE gifts but it's whatever you want to do. I am going to deliver everything at once either the first or second day (especially considering how spread out we are ~ decks 8, 2, and everywhere in between)

I started a class last week. Mmm, two semesters of Cisco Networking Academy..whoo hoo!

good luck to everyone!

Go Chiefs!

 

[DCL rookie]

Here in Minnesota it is a state law (for real) that school cannot start before Labor Day. Because of our short summers here. My DS will be in kindergarten! I am always working, so there is no summer break...

My 75 days ahead is the 30th
Is Palo really worth it since it is just 3 night cruise and I wouldn't do it pirate night?
I'm still up in there air on stingrays at CC? I think there is enough to do with snorkeling and that play thing in the water.
Any suggestions? Thanks


Kris, DH, DS 5, DD 3

 

[jedijill]

I love Palo but on a 3 night you might now want skip it this time to enjoy the regular dining rooms especially if you haven't been on a cruise before.

As for the stingrays, they were fun but I skipped them my first cruise (well actually weather cancelled them). I think you will find that there is plenty to do otherwise.

Jill

 

[LynnF0513]

Sorry I haven't ever done the stingrays so I can't offer any reviews...

DH and I did Palo on our 7 night and in turn missed the show at Animators. We were not impressed w/Palo and will not be doing it again unless we are on a 7 day and can do Brunch.

SOOOOO is anyone planning on hitting Wavebands for Karaoke???
