April 21, 2007 -- Western Magic -- anyone?

Disney called last night, Upgraded from CAT 4 to CAT 3. Woo Woo:cool1: :cool1:
WOW - that's awesome!!! Congrats on the upgrade. I don't see it happening for us. This will be our 5th, and no upgrades yet. I'd hate to break our streak.:lmao:
 
FINALLY! We were scared he was going to win!
I KNOW!!! I think that he's a sweet guy, and I hate that people were making fun of him with the whole "Vote For The Worst" site. But, he certainly didn't deserve to stay this long with his voice.

Justin is taking off this afternoon and all day tomorrow (even though I'm sure he'll get 50 phone calls from work from the time he leaves today until we get on the plane tomorrow!). I told him he has to tell his business partners that he CANNONT be contacted at all during this vacation! I'm sure they'll find a way, though. :sad2:
Chris was supposed to be working all day today. But, I came home from my power-errands and picking Madison up from preschool to see his car in the driveway. He said that he wasn't feeling great and decided to work from home the rest of the day. He didn't want to wear himself out working before vacation.

:eek: Uh oh Amy! Maybe a trip to the dr. wouldn't be such a bad idea.

I am headed out later to the bank for traveler's checks, and pick up something for breakfast tomorrow. We're leaving right at 7am I hope, headed to the airport, and I'm not cooking! Probably something quick & easy like muffins or doughnuts. Emily was so excited this morning, going into daycare & telling all her little friends "I'm going on vacation & I won't be here tomorrow!" She doesn't realize it's longer than just a day. Boy will she be surprised! ;)

Now, about Idol - I was doing a happy dance when he left! :dance3: Sure, it was funny to see just what he'd sing or look like week to week, but really, they played him as a joke. He could probably do well with a lot of training, and finding which style singing really works for him. I saw a You Tube video not long ago of him singing with a choir, before Idol, and it was actually pretty good. I'd guess this is not the last we've seen of him.

Tell him to get LOTS of sleep! Justin stayed home all day Tuesday because of his runny nose/cold symptoms, and he slept until NOON! He was planning on going in after lunch but decided that this vacation is too important (and too expensive!) to start it feeling sick. He's doing much better now! He told me he didn't want me to post here about how he was feeling yucky because then we would end up in quarantine if anyone knew that he had been sick! :rotfl: I told him last night that it sounded like a few others were kind of sick, too. I just hope that everyone is back to normal and feeling great by Saturday!

Boy will she be surprised! ;)
Does she still not know its a Disney cruise? How and when will you tell her?

I told Justin last night that he should maybe do an album in Spanish since that was been his best performance, although maybe it had something to do with the fact that I didn't know the song and couldn't understand him! :rotfl2:

So in my quest to constantly check the weather for Omaha, Minneapolis, Orlando, Cape Canaveral, and Key West, the only problem (at this point) looks like Saturday is a chance of rain. :sad1: But the thunderstorms that were expected for tomorrow around here are going to be here later today instaed, so maybe something will change before Saturday actually gets here! (Fingers crossed--they need a smilie for that!)
 

:goodvibes Good morning from sunny Florida. I have a bit of a dilemma. We were unable to get my son's dive certification papers before we left home. The dive shop has been closed for the past week due to illness. :scared1: My parents are going to try and get the documentation to us and overnight it to us. If we don't get it, my son won't be able to dive. :sad1: My question is if we don't receive it tomorrow, would we be able to receive a fax on the ship? I don't care what it costs! (I must be in vacation mode). Thanks if someone knows the answer to this.

Have a safe trip everyone. It is so nice to be in flip flops and shorts!!! finally!!!

As I understand it, fax services are available (http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/dcl/en_US/help/overview?name=OnboardServicesFAQLandingPage#3), but from what I hear they are expensive.

You could set up an online fax number that would put it in your email (http://www.efax.com) or have the dive shop scan it and email it to you. Then you could print it off in the Internet Lounge.
 
Does she still not know its a Disney cruise? How and when will you tell her?

No, she doesn't know. All she's aware of now is we're going on vacation. We'll probably try to explain on the way to the port Saturday. If she knew about the Princesses & shows, we'd not be able to hold her down between now and then. :laughing: Funny thing is, after her party on Saturday, I told her we'd have to do something really special on her "real" birthday while on vacation. She said "but who will make me a cake?" I said "Disney" and just grinned at her. She smiled & that seemed to be a good answer, though I doubt she made the connection. I LOVE this age. :)

HI TRICIA! I didn't expect to "see" you again until we actually see you! :laughing:

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :thumbsup2

I'm sorry I don't know if there's fax service available or not--I can check what the PassPorter says...YOU'RE IN LUCK! The cost is the same as phone calls ($6.95/minute) but it doesn't give the number. Maybe you could call DCL directly to get it. :confused3
 
koby -- could you have it faxed to the terminal?? might be cheaper and pick up at checkin? or to the hotel you are at now? looks like Kevin is our tech-guru with his suggestions -- much better than anything i would've said :teeth:

just got my last big chore finished -- now fun time with finalizing the packing!! i'm bummed b/c i can't find my way-cool door sign to remind the girls to tip for room service! it's from our last cruise but i saved it --
 
What page was all the photos of the group that posted?
Going to go through each one until I find them.....:happytv:
 
I know we havent posted much.....but, we have been lurking and wish everyone a safe journey to our Disney Magic. see ya soon.
Bryan, Edna, Alex, Monica & the Tringl's.
 
I am done - almost. :cool1: Nearly everything is packed up, except what we'll use in the morning. Yeah!!!!! Been running around like crazy this evening. Now it's time to settle down for an hour for Grey's. ;)
 
Well guys, I can't believe I'm finally typing it, but this is my last post until we meet on the cruise!!! :dance3: See you on Saturday! Travel safe everyone.
 
Hello,
It's Friday:cool1: .....My house is clean, just have to do the showers after we take one..Garbage is out, girls are in school, luggage packed....nails are done, now I'm going tanning, getting my eyebrows done and then a facial. We're leaving in the afternoon :banana: I've never been this relaxed before a vacation. We usually leave right after I get home from work, so i'm really happy to have this extra time.
This morning I fell onto one of the suitcases. My bottom of my foot hurts and now I have a headache. My pajamas got caught on the door and the next thing I know, I went Down! :sad2:

I hope everyone that's left has made it okay and they're listening to the magical Dixieland music as they enter Main Street...And for all you guys that are leaving today like us - We'll see you tomorrow!
 
Ok, this is my last post, since we're heading over to WDW in a few hours.

Countdown to cruising!!!
1 day to go!!!
:cheer2:
:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:
Safe travels to all that haven't left yet!! We can't wait to see you tomorrow!!​
 
We're almost on our way! :woohoo: I'm just doing final suitcase stuff and then picking up the boys from preschool in two hours. Then we're off on the two-hour drive to the airport! I'm hoping to sleep as much as I can on the drive and plane rides...I was up until 1:30 AM and then got up at 6 o'clock this morning.

:dance3: SEE YOU TOMORROW! :dance3:
 
oh no.......................reality bites :teeth:

welcome home everyone!
 
I'll second that!

It was a great trip!
I have a chronic dizziness problem and I woke up yesterday with a horrible case of vertigo. I thought it would be gone by now, but I'm still suffering.
I am really happy to have met you all, even if we didn't get to spend a lot of time together. It was tough enough hanging out with my husband!
My girls had an awesome time and they're so happy to have met new friends, too.....
I kept pushing the girls to hang out in The Stack, but they would say they felt uncomfortable there. Well on the last night, they decided to go and Taylor requested the cha cha dance (whatever it's called) and she got up and did the dance along with my girls and then EVERYONE joined in!
I told my girls that they should have done that at the beginning of the cruise, that all it takes is one or one small group to get it started.....I hope the kids learned a lesson from this!

I'll be able to post my trip report during the week, and I'll get my photos up on photobucket hopefully by the end of the week. I'd love to hear everyone's experiences and I want to see your pictures too!

Have a good day everyone:goodvibes
