Lisa,

Now I have an hour less than you on my clock, I reset my clock for EDT. At least I was able to get the 4th mouse girl added, my Dniece will "LOVE" that!!! I just put a bid in on e-bay for her tropical shirt, that's where I got all our tropical shirts. I got my DD shirt for a $1.25, the rest about $8-10.

i have friends that are e-bay addicts, i haven't caught that bug yet, i'm sure my husband is thanking god for that!

glad you got the girl mouse thing figured out, and your one hour less.... that's great! That's one hour cut off the waiting time for everyone. i'll go by your clock from now on!

I missed a day and 2 whole pages of posts have been added!

First, a warm welcome to Onemomo2 I love seeing new names added to our growing list! I see you have quite a group there, and some of your boys are the same ages as mine.

Andy, you can put my troop down for early seating, we are already linked up for a table for 11, but if anyone is seated at a table near us, pop by and say hello!

Will this countdown EVER reach 0? How can I make the time go faster????

Mary,

When you go to sleep tonight, you'll just have to stay asleep until Aug. 22, then you can wake up and head for the Radisson. LOL!!!

Thanks for the welcome DisneyNutMary! Yes, I noticed that you had some children in our kids age group. We also have the early seating, and like you we have a large group to seat, but we'll be looking for you!

At the "Trip Reports" bulletin board I saw that one group of DISers all went to Home Depot and got some green Happy Face stickers and wore them on their shirts for the first few days so that others would recognize them while out-and-about onboard. What do you al think? I still haven't read all the pages you've got here so I don't know if you've aready discussed this. I know we're having a meet & greet on Saturday, but in case we come across each other before hand we can at least recognize those just as excited as we are!

Too many days to go!!

I picked up some lime green Mickey stickers at Home Depot last Sunday. I have a few extra (3) right now. I have to go back to Home Depot in the morning, going to see if I can pick up some more. If anyone needs some Mickey stickers let me know. I already mailed some to England this week for some May 3rd cruisers. You can e-mail me at verandahman2003@yahoo.com

Thanks VerandahMan. I'll check with the Home Depots around here and see what I can collect.

I also ordered a PassPorter and can't wait to get it.

Hey Lucy, Trish, LisaK and Jackie:

I finally took a count and realized that each of you has a boy in the 10-12 y/o bracket just like us. My son will be turning 12 the week before the cruise. He's also into Yu-Gi-Oh! and video games (surprise, surprise). He tries to slip his Playstation2 into his backpack every chance he gets. He says he's going to register himself so he can add posts directed at the boys.




Disneylesa, Lucy and Mary:

I see each of you is traveling with a 5 or 6 year old. My 5 year old son will be thrilled to meet them. He plays with girls and boys alike! I haven't really made it clear to him that he will be in a separate group than his cousin (DN-9) and his neighborhood playmates (8 & 9) who will be sailing with us as well. He's so excited about everything, I didn't want to put a damper on his enthusiasm. Once he's there I'm sure there will be so much going on for him that he won't whine about it too much.


We'll have to think of something to help them all get acquainted before departure to ensure a good time is had by all.

 

[lisak1]

i'll have to go to the home depot here, see what's available. It will give me something else to do to get ready to go!

Mary,

the boys will have a great time playing, kyle' s already planning out what he wants to do in the"daycare" as he calls it! He saw a Nintendo game in one of the videos we looked at, and he's planning on spending alot of time with that.

 

[DisneyNutMary]

My soon-to-be 5 year old is extremely shy and we have't told him yet that he won't be in the group with his big brother and his cousins (wish me luck when we do! ) I look forward to introducing him to some of the kids from here, hopefully he will hit it off with them and spend some time in the Oceaneer Club. Fortunately, it looks as though there are video games there and he is a big fan of video games (just ask Lucy)

Anyway, if any of the 9 year old set wants to correspond with my son, let me know and I will get him to e-mail them!

 

[lisak1]

my son loves to do e-mail, but he is just allowed to use the computer on the weekends. the response may not be prompt, but he'd love to write to any of the boys.

his e-mail is kjkincius@aol.com

i'll tell him to look for new e-mail in his box.

Hi I'm new. I'm the son of Onemomo2 and I will be e-mailing anybody who's interested in having a friend in Virginia. I'll e-mail Kyle first chance I get.

Hope it's okay that I'm here!

Does anyone know how to put that countdown thing at the bottom of a reply?

thanks verandah man! i'm ready to go!

 

[Lucyluvsmickey]

Hey verandah man, did you happen to get those stickers in woodbridge? I pass that one all the time on the way to the mall. I work in Rochelle Park and I may try there if I don't see any in woodbridge. Thanks for any info.

 

[onemomo2]

Hey VerandahMan:

Did you have to ask for the stickers, and if so, did you just call them "green Mickey Stickers?".

I didn't make it to Home Depot today. SecondSon2Mom was off with Grandma so FirstSon2Mom and I had a busy day goofing off by ourselves.........FirstHusband2Mom is stationed at GITMO (Cuba) so my only non-parent time on the weekends is when I selfishly start surfing the net to indulge my preoccupation with the future!
