Ahoy November 12th, 2009 Cruisers!!

[ljm23]

Morning everyone. 24 days for us and SOOOO excited Have to get serious about pulling stuff together now. Very cool about the launch, hope this one comes through.
Jill, I know I for one am not planning on dressing up for "formal" night beyond nice pants and a blouse probably.

Ran around doing errands today and managed to score travel size containers of my hair conditioner! (Sorry guys---I know only a girl would get excited by that! lol) I also picked up single use Tide at Target....I love their travel size department.

Jill

I can completely understand. I was so excited when I found a 3oz. SPRAY sunscreen I almost cried. I refuse to check a bag, so I was thinking I would have to go buy new sunscreen when I got to Orlando.

Hey guys!

Our DIS meet is starting to get really huge. Do you suppose we should make oursleves name tags or something with our screen names and real names too? I know we will have bracelets but I mean for the meet purposes to make it easier for each other? This is an idea that just popped into my head and I am just throwing it out there... I hope we can get pictures too!

I will be the one in the wheelchair with the black dog

ok ok ok

Mark, you are too funny. Name tags might not be such a bad idea for the rest of us, although since I take my girls without daddy and try so very hard to keep everything straight, my frazzled mom look can't be too hard to spot.

 

[Alice_on_WONDERland]

The name tag idea sounds like a good idea. We'll all have Castaway Club lanyards, right? Couldn't we slip a lime green Mickey Head in the pocket and write our DIS name on it? Just an idea...

We're leaving on the 10th....arriving about 10p...have to get the addresses into the navigator...we are pretty sure we are doing MK on the 11th ...probably go to DTD in evening...kids always crave for a sandwich from Earl of Sandwich....thinking about packing today...pulled out my magnets from last cruise....so I'm almost ready to go...just need to count the days now.

 

[SCQ86]

We'll be on this cruise. This is one of my favorite pictures from the Wonder (with Nassau in the distance).

We just booked 2 weeks ago. Here are the top 6 reasons why we decided to join you all.

6. Free air fare via Rapid Reward Tickets on SWA
5. Nice winter get-away (for DW and I) without the kids
4. We're excited to check out the dry dock upgrades to the Wonder
3. Hoping to book something on the "Dream" while on-board.
2. This cruise will make us Platinum CC Members
1. We're cruising with our friends from Georgia who we met on the Magic in 2002 and have cruised with almost every year since.

And we are excited.

Welcome aboard! We have a nice little crowd joining us....can't wait to meet you.

Mark
I was just reading your TR. I never thought to ask how your dog would "take care of business" until someone asked you

I know I'm gonna need a nametag to match names with people- Mark not included because of his furry posse!
The lime green Mickey heads on the lanyards are a great idea if Home Depot doesn't mind missing a few of them- (ahem) again
( DH thought I was nuts the first time!)

 

[LynnF0513]

I bought some label's for our FE gifts so I will put tags on DH and I before the meet

 

[jedijill]

I FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looked in my big suitcase that I haven't used since the cruise one last time, and there it was! My FE!!!! I had put it in an inside compartment and it had slie all the way down. Whew!

So in honor of the pending shuttle launch here is a picture of my niece all ready for her first mission into space.

Jill, that is great! She is so cute! Its been awhile since I've been on here. I was wondering.............What shows will be on the 3 day?? I didn't get to see all of the Toy Story show so I was hoping to get to see it all this time. Kelly

BTW, we are going to WDW the 4 days before!! And the kids don't know.

 

[ljm23]

Adorable Jill!

Thanks Mark! BTW, we love Nashville! Its a 2 hr drive for us.

ok ok ok

Mark,

Want to warn you...my kids love dogs!!!

 

[3littleHalls]

I will be the one in the wheelchair with the black dog

ok ok ok

So you think you will be that recognizable? I missed some of the postings on your helper. Will it ever be off duty(un-harnessed)?? I can totally respect not to bother it if its working, but my kids love dogs too(well except for the one who has a dog allergy) Just wondering if there would be any playtime? Kelly

 

[3littleHalls]

Never mind, I found the thead. I also saw the part about the shuttle launch! Very cool if it actually happens. The last cruise there was a launch scheduled that was postponed. Jill, any news about the jury duty? I hope you can still cruise! BTW, has anyone seen the Star Wars in concert? Was planning on taking my son.

 

[elmo2200]

Wow the thread has been busy!!! I'll try to catch up....
Jill, oh my gosh she's cute!!! Glad you found your FE.
Welcome Monstro!
We enjoyed Toy Story and are looking forward to seeing it again. Loved the 3D movies.
I don't remember who asked about the lifejacket drill but it does not take long. It is a good time to get some dorky pics. Be sure to arrive in a timely manner or everyone will glare at you for holding everyone up.... The drill ends when each passenger is accounted for.
I've lost my OCD, please tell me if you find it!!! 24 days and we don't know how we are getting to Florida. DH can't decide if driving would save enough $$ to lose two extra days at work. Plus we would need my brother's Jetta again. Don't know yet if he will lend it to us. Almost ready to start packing. Don't have adult FE started. Did you find my OCD yet???? It has NEVER run away before!!!!!

I feel the same way! I told my DH the other day that we were down to 25 days and he said it will go by quickly...so I yelled at him...lol. I haven't even started thinking about packing and he is threatening me like that! That's just not right!
I have kids FE gifts taken care of ...and that's it. I have no idea what anyone is wearing or what we are packing it in.
The weekend before we leave is going to be crazy busy. I think that's when the OCD will kick into high gear...at least I'm hoping it will!
