any November 15th eastern 7 ngt cruisers out there?

Michelle, saw your post on the movie thread. Maybe we can go see Chicago one night. I doubt that DH would be interested in going so I was going to see it solo.

Mary, I just realized that I have NEMO birthday party stuff from Kaitlyn's party if we want to do something with a Disney theme Saturday night. LMK!

Kim - sorry to hear about your friend and what a nice offer from your Mom. Hopefully now that your friend knows what she's up against the medical profession can get her to a better place physically. Not to worry about the packing cause you're in good company with me! I do have some piles on the guest room bed, but I need to rethink every day, every dinner, every theme etc. to ensure we're all covered - literally! I really want to bring this black pair of capri pants, but don't want to pack another pair of shoes just to go with these capris...oh the decisions I have to make!! Anyone flown with Southwest? One of our luggage bags measures out to 64" and their site says max of 62". I really want to take this bag, but don't want to pay any charges...anyone have experience to know how strict they are on baggage dimensions? Thanks, Jo

 

[lbgraves]

Kim (((HUGS))) to you and your friend. It was so sweet of your mom to offer to have her go with you instead but I know that you have also been looking forward to this trip with her.

We will be at the All Star Movie Resort Wednesday night & will be going to MK on Thursday also. We will be going to DTD Wednesday afternoon/evening and go to Seaworld on Friday. I haven't been to WDW before & don't know how easily we could arrange to meet if we were there the same day.

OK guys! I really need your good thoughts today. It is looking nice outside right now but the forecast is calling for rain starting around 9 am. William's party isn't until 12. Please send some PD down here to keep the rain away until at least 1. DS will appreciate it so much!!! It is suppose to get worse until Friday evening so there is no other day for us to have it.

I would like to send pixie dust to everyone who needs it. Yesterday, I had extra kids at my house, school was off. After making dinner and cleaning up....I was saying how hard it was to believe in 10 days I really won't have to be doing anything!

So pixie dust and good wishes go out to all today and anyone you have relationships that also need it.

lisa - i'll be praying that the rain holds off for the party.. it was supposed to be raining here already and it is still not, so maybe that is a good sign..

kim - i'm sorry about your friend.. that was so nice of your mom to offer to let her go in your place.. i cannot wait to meet her, she is quite a lady

ok, question - anyone have any problems with motion sickness?? i'm horrible, went and go the patch to try it, put it on yesterday and all was well, but this morning i am really feeling kind of blah.. i don't think it is from the patch, as i feel like throwing up most of the time (sorry about the graphics here).. i can get sick getting out of bed too fast, which is what happened this morning i think.. so, does anyone have any ideas?? i don't want to be sick for the trip...

talk to you all later.. off to get my haircut and highlited this afternoon so i can be a babe for the cruise

Lisa, I would love to see Chicago with you as my DH won't want to see it, either! You have yourself a date. Doesn't it just figure about the rain!! It's been beautiful for four days and now it's raining! I'm sorry to hear that. Do you have a backup plan available? You've got all the PD I can send.

Sherry, I see you survived your extra kids! I think you're a doll for WANTING extra kids in your house a week before your cruise.

Kim, you made me tear up with your story about your mom and your friend. Bless her heart! The best part about that story is that you know she actually MEANT it. What a soul she must have.

Dana, I'm working on my babe-ness, too. I have my hilight tomorrow and my manicure and pedicure next week. How many men do you think will notice on a Disney cruise with kids in tow???

We all take Bonine (except Garrett who's too young..he takes Dramamine), so I can't help with the motion sickness question. We're not even sure if we get motion sickness...we just don't take the chance.

Jo, I have the same shoe/clothes dilemma. I want to stop packing shoes but I need certain shoes for certain outfits (a point that men don't get!). My dad was having a cow last night because my mom had gotten 10 pair of shoes out to pack! Capris would be perfect to pack, though.

Looks like we're going to have a very full ship...and we're VERY close to the single digit dance!!

Kim, so very sorry to hear about your friend. Sounds like she will have a terrific support system. Your Mom is such a sweetheart for her offer. Lots of love all around!

Our bad news today is that we woke up to the water heater going. We have well water so after my shower (thank goodness I got one!) DH noticed that the pump was still running. Went to the basement to check it out and found a flood! It's getting replaced as I type but it's a big $850 expense we weren't expecting. Yuck! I suppose the silver lining in all of this is that it happened now and not when we were on vacation. If it happened then, the pump probably would have kept running for a week! Imagine the water damage then!!!

Lisa, Nemo party goods sound great if you have left overs. Conor just picked out a Nemo cake for his birthday party this weekend. I'm off to order it now.

Another thing for some of us to think about. I'm getting an oil delivery this week. Make sure to check your tank levels (unless you have auto delivery) so that you won't run out over vacation.

Have a great day all.

 

[sherry]

Mary, you are right to look at the bright side of the water heater. It might have done a lot of damage had it happened while you were gone.

 

[mkauffman]

Mary, I can feel your pain. We had MAJOR vehicle work done just a few weeks ago and I was so upset that it happened right before vacation! My husband takes everything in stride....I worry about everything!

Michelle

 

[sherry]

Michelle, We are just like you and your dh, I worry constantly and my dh worries about nothing. We are opposites, but we seem to complement each other.

 

[Cruising canuck]

My wife (Lorraine)and 6 year old daughter (Carly) will be cruising on the 15th we arrive on Thurs night and we will be spending Fri at the Magic Kingdom. We are looking forward to our first Disney cruise and also looking forward to meeting some new people. Hope to meet some of you guys there!!

Gordon Knox

 

[mkauffman]

Welcome, Gordon!! Very nice to meet you! We've all become really great friends and it's nice to add someone new to our family. Would you like to be included in our DIS meet?

Michelle

 

[Cruising canuck]

That would be great what is dis meet?

 

[sherry]

Welcome Gordon, Lorraine, and Carly. There are a great bunch of people going on this cruise and it looks like a pretty full ship. I look foreward to meeting you.

 

[mkauffman]

Gordon, the DIS meet is just a bunch of us that have met here on the boards getting together on ship to finally meet. We have several fun things planned. I'm going to PM you with some information.

Please feel free to share some personal information about yourself and your family.

Michelle (we're so close I'm feeling a little bouncy today!)

 

[Cruising canuck]

Thanks guys, we are all dying to get there, well maybe me the most, because I farm for a living and we have 4-5 inches of snow now so my days are pretty much spent at home with our 22 month old girl. L and I are Dis and Dis World veterans (8 times in the past 12 yrs) it is a major trip from up in Canada each time. But this is our first time with Dis cruise line. As long as the food is great the ship could stay at sea forever as far as I'm concerned. 8 more sleeps!!!

Gord

 

[mkauffman]

4-5 inches of snow!!!! OMG...you need this vacation in the Caribbean more than the rest of us!

Michelle

 

[mkauffman]

Gordon, I just realized that you said you stay home with your 22 mo. old. Does that mean she won't be going on the cruise since you didn't mention her originally? By the way, I love the name Carly!

Michelle

 

[mcampbell_22]

Gordon, welcome from Massachusetts! My DH and I, along with our DS Conor who is turning 7 next week and DD Devon who is 5 will be cruising with you. Hope you will join us for our DIS meet and some of the other "events" we have planned.

Is Carly going to be doing the kid's club? I'm signing my 2 up so I think they'd be in the same group.

Well, the water heater has been replaced and the old one (along with a lot of $$$) has been removed. I told DH that we should always remember to shut the power off to the well pump before we go away to avoid any flooding disasters. Better safe than sorry!
