Any Magic Halloween Cruisers 2003 out there?

[Poohbush]

Hi,

Amanda, you're very welcome! Glad I could help! We decided to not order any Halloween stuff from DCL. We did baskets from Shirley instead.

Tiff, I hope we don't have too much to worry about from TS Nicholas. Storms this time of year usually turn north in the gulfstream.

Karen (KEH), the T-Shirts sound great! What fun that you'll be wearing them together. I'm sure it's a relief knowing one less thing you have to think about. Best wishes on your departure tomorrow! Have fun at Disney!

Dena, Emily Marie is beautiful! Marie is my middle name too (very common with Tina.) We were going to name our DD Kathleen Marie, but opted for Kathleen Nicole instead.

Rae, do you still have Red?

 

["Ginger"]

Hi all! Just got on for a minute, I told Bill I was just going to lurk. He laughed and said... YEAH! Good Night!

Dena, both names are beautiful. My favorite names is Dawn, mine and Ashley's. It goes well with just about any first name. Like Emily Dawn. LOL... had to get my $.02 into the naming of the baby.

Karen and family I hope you have a safe trip to Fla. Once there I wish for you great weather and a wonderful time. See you soon.

Amanda, I've packed 2 containers of Dolci Frutta choc. and wax paper. If you have, around the house, mini cupcake wraps they would come in handy, but if not don't worry. Do bring a large size container to store them in. Make sure it something you can put them in so they won't get crushed.

For everyone us going to the parks before the cruise, I wish you all the same as I've wished for Karen. Great weather and a wonderful time.
Bring the list up.

Ginger

Thanks Ginger for you diligence in maintaining our list

I actually printed it too I was just thinking that 1 week from today we will be getting ready to drive down on Friday for the cruise and then 4 nights at WDW .

Hope everyone has a safe trip

[quackattack]

Tiff: you beat me to it. I was just thinking that this time next week we will be at the Radisson. Probably resting from a long day of driving.

Dena: Congratulations. Girls seem to be outnumbering the boys this year. Six of my co-workers are pregnant now. Four of them are having girls, one boy and the other does not know what sex her twins are yet.

I think I have finished shopping. DH is picking up film. I have most of my things together already. Tomorrow I need to work on getting DS's things together. I also need to work on our t-shirts. We wanted lime green tees. I had a hard time finding them locally. I ended up ordering them online. The were very inexpensive and arrived in 2 or 3 days.

I had better get to bed so I can start early tomorrow.

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT CRUISE!!

I look forward to trip reports when you get back. Be sure to post links here for them!!

[KEH]

Hi everyone. Last post before we leave. The alarm has just rung and now I have to get 3 sleepy kids up. Somehow I think it might be easioer than on a school day.

I am so excited that I can't think straight. The packing finally got done and anyhting we haven't got now will have to stay here. I have checked the documents about 100 times - hope they haven't jumped out of the bag overnight!

Dena, we will see you on Saturday. Everyone else have a wonderful week and keep safe. See you on the Magic.

Karen

 

[Rose_Greenthumb]

I don't know what you mean mum! Surely you're not implying I'm not this excited to get up and go to Physics?!

 

[rae519]

Safe trip Karen, Emma and all the others who will begin their travels this weekend.

We leave Sunday ourselves.


No, Red is gone. He was too much for us to handle - so now Michael just has his golden palomino "Cheyenne" and they are a great team. They are eyeing this little paint for me, but it might be a while before I get to ride him since I think DCL frowns on horses on the ship!!

God bless and safe trip to all!

Rae

 

[JLSE50]

RAE: Have a good prep-time and travel safely.

ALL: Travel safely,

Jan

 

[KaitlinsMom]

Karen and Emma - So excited for you! Have a safe journey and we will see you on the ship!!!!

Not long now!~


Karen (the other one)

 

[KaitlinsMom]

Just wanted to offer -

I have an AP to Disneyland - I will be going sometime this weekend - Maybe even tonight -

If anyone wants anything from there that you would like to have for the cruise or for whatever, let me know and I will pick it up for you -

Karen (the other one)

 

[rae519]

Whoever is the last one on this thread - please remember to close the door and turn off the lights.

God's blessings to all in their travels!

Rae, Mom (Lilly) and Michael

 

[dzneprincess]

Karen and Emma and family, I hope you all have a safe journey See ya soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karen, (the other one ) any idea how much a sorceror Mickey hat is? Not the one with lights in it, but the one that has the ears attached? I have a plain wizard hat for my DH, but I would like him to have the Mickey Ears one. Would you be willing to pick one up for me?


Ginger, are you speaking on regular cupcake papers? If so, I believe I have some in my cabinet as I type One thing though, I will have to break away at about 1030 or 11pm and go pick my parents up at MCO. ( BUMMER, I know) but I figured they can save the money on a rental, and that will be one less thing we have to worry about doing in Saturday. How many of us are going to be using the Radisson's shuttle? I know we are.

I am hoping to leave here on Friday, early morning, that way we can relax and hang out at the Rad. BUT DH does not have that day off at this time SO, if he doesnt get that day off, we may not be able to leave here until 4pm EST. That means it would be late when we get in. I will let you know for sure Ginger. How are we supposed to find each other? Are we having any kind of meet at the Rad? I have talked to Shirley, and she told me that she will not be in town next weekend so I will not get the opportunity to meet her.

Tina, after looking at the prices on the Halloween gifts, I too decided not to order anything. I have already order my brats a basket from Shirlery, and I am figuring from the talks and postings of everyone here, the kids will be getting more than candy in their treat bags. I figured they probably wouldn't need anymore

I am NOT packed yet!! But I do have everything together, I just need to put it in our bags and sort through it all.

Rae, I hope you all have a blast at USO/IOA. It looks like this thread is thinning out as people head on out! LOL I will be posting until Thursday!!!!!!

 

[carole88]

Hope everyone has a safe trip to the Port! Can't wait to meet everyone. It's almost time!

 

[Zitofamily]

Safe travels to all that are heading out in the next few days.

I haven't had much time for this board lately as I am so behind in preparations. Not packed, but have things laid out for one of my kids. I guess I just work best under pressure, at least I hope so!

Do most of you bring your own snorkling gear for Castaway Cay? Trying to decide how many suitcases to take. I worry about where to store the suitcases if we bring too many!

Only one more week - yippee!

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, to all of you on this board for your great advice, your wonderful humor, and the warm friendly atmosphere of this thread. It will be so much fun to meet you in person once we set sail. Carlotta

 

[KaitlinsMom]

Hey Amanda - No idea how much they are - but no problem about picking one up for you - Do you have a limit on how much you want to spend on it? I will probably be going on Monday - so if anyone else out there needs anything - I am picking up an autograph book and personalized name tags for my girls -


"Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, to all of you on this board for your great advice, your wonderful humor, and the warm friendly atmosphere of this thread. It will be so much fun to meet you in person once we set sail. Carlotta"

Carlotta , I couldn't have said it better myself - Well put - and I whole-heartly agree!

Karen

 

[Jhalkias]

Don't know if any of the more "organized" folks are around, but perhaps someone who still is could do a quick recap of the different events that have flowed through this thread?

Happy trails everyone, never thought it would get to less than a week to go! I keep telling Sophia, less than 7 days until the Mickey Ship!

John

 

[JLSE50]

Carlotta: If you lift the bed a little, you can slide most suitcases underneath they tell us. We used to put them in the closet but others also said that your Stateroom Host will take them and store them if you need them out of the way.

We took our own snorkel geer for all our excursions, including Castaway Cay on our last cruise. We enjoyed having our own. But it did take up a whole little suitcase. On the other hand, that gave us nooks and crannies for our Halloween treats and space for souvenirs.

John: We are not going this year, so I have not kept track of what is happening officially. But do remember that there is a Palos brunch and Trick or Treat for the kids. The last couple pages of this thread seem to have had some updates on those events, so maybe if you reread the last 3 or 4 pages you can get it. Or maybe Ginger is still home and can post. Not sure if Rae will be able to get on as she leaves tomorrow, but I forget when Ginger is leaving.

Worst case scenerio--leave a message at Guest Services for each of them--Rae Reichert, Ginger and Bill Sparr, and/or Karen and Mark Hickmore (parents of Emma--aka--Rose Greenthumb who started this thread) and include your questions with your stateroom number so they can get back to you.

Have a great time,
Jan

 

[rocadonismom]

John,

Here's what I know...

Saturday we are having a meet up at the front of deck 10, at the time of the sailaway party. Look for lime green (and shirts that have Lord of the Rings and the name Rose Greenthumb)

Monday we were planning on brunch around 10:30. So far it is just Karen and Mark, Rae and her mom Lily and me, my parents (Ralph and Sherry) and my sister Kristen. If you and your wife were interested in that; Karen is making the reservations. Just go to Palo when you embark, make the brunch reservations and asked to be linked to Karen and Mark Hickmore (I'll get the room number for you)

Thursday is the Trick or Treat event, meeting at 1:00. The list is about two pages back with where to meet, and the names and staterooms of those participating.

Thursday around 4 is the Ladies Tea, also at Palos. I can't remember if your wife signed up but again, if she is interested she can book it the first day and link to Hickmore.

The guys also discussed meeting for some guy thing - no real details were discussed. Just beer.

And of course we will have football sunday. I'm sure at least some of us will be in the new sports bar for at least part of the day.

That's all I can think of right now. Can't wait to meet everyone. Try to find me as I am bringing Mickey pins for nametags. I'll be in a lime green top with lime green luggage.
