Yep, I noticed it yesterday. I sent HouseParty an email asking them to get it corrected...evidently they haven't corrected that yet! :sad2:

Good thing we're all DCL experts here...:teacher:

:confused3 I thought I was losing it. I even went to the DCL website to make sure I wasn't confused. :rotfl:

:rotfl2: :lmao: I did too! Even though I KNEW my kids had never been in the lab. Last year when we were on DCL my kids were 3 and (just turned 7) and the 7 yr old wanted to stay with his sister! :hug: He's sweet that way!!
 
Anyone having a party in my area? (Seattle area) I would like to join a party group.

If you go to the houseparty site, a map comes up on the left. Click on your state and you will see who all is hosting a party in your area and if it is even close enough to you. You can always post a note to the host. Just an idea.:)

OH.. and.. I am curious to see the goodie bags - not sure what to do about that either... I have like 15 kids coming, so, the bags are useless for the kids, but I was thinking of making it a family goodie bag w/the CDs and other stuff, but what?? What is everyone doing w/them??? :confused3

This wouldn't work for a kid's goodie bag, but for the grownups -- I remembered last night that a Realtor friend of mine hosted a Caribbean-themed party for friends and clients last fall. The party favor bags included a mini bottle of rum, a few seashells, and a small tube of cocoa butter hand cream, in a cute striped bag tied up with raffia.

I'm having an all girl party disney / tropical party. I've bought bright tropical colored sacks in the craft area at WalMart, I folded over the tops and hole punched them, then put curly ribbon thru the holes w/ a Mickey Mouse head from Home Depot, I think their rather cute. Home Depot probably thinks I've got alot of painting to do though.

In my bags I've put a ms. manicure set (from Walgreens), a grow a pirate (from Michaels), and I've made a cd with tropical music. Then I plan on putting stuff that Disney sends me in them also.

No matter what I put in the bags I think my friends will love it, I've not had a girl party since, well let's see, since I got married. (15 years ago) :cheer2:
 
I just wanted to drop a quick note and say what a lovely afternoon my DW and I had today at fellow DIS'ers "allears" house. Gayle and her DH John are hosting the DCL House Party that we will be attending next Saturday. It sure was a pleasure getting to meet them and their sons ahead of time, I know we are going to have a magical and wonderful party one week from tonight. :goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes

Thanks Verandah Man! I will be attendoing that party as well! I can't wait to meet John and Gayle, as well as you and your DW.
See you next weekend! :goodvibes

Great!!! See you on Saturday!!! I kept forgetting to ask John and Gayle if any other DIS'ers from our area would be there.
 
I hope it comes soon, I am waiting to see the napkins/balloons, so I can match colors for the solid plates and all.. I was thinking of doing red/black/white/yellow - but, then, I found all of this partyware downstairs, like fish/beach stuff from a few parties ago - I could use that .. I also have some stuff from the Disney Store from a while ago, but it is green and orange... maybe I'll just do primary colors? I have no clue, but I am sure it'll all fall into place EVENTUALLY!!

I'm guessing that they will use the same DCL-HP logo and color scheme that is appearing on the House Party page:

But just a guess! :confused3
 
I just got back from ordering my photocake. I went ahead and used the picture with the Magic/Palm trees I have as my screen saver. Also picked up some ingredients for Konk Koolers and Pina Coladas.

That's OK, I was already looking for you before I saw your updated post.......:goodvibes

I have cable hook-up and the map was loading up a bit slow for me, I can't imagine waiting for it to load with dial-up.......:rolleyes1
 
I don't know about the rest of you but I'm getting excited for this party! :cool1: Some of the items I ordered arrived last week and hopefully, my Oriental Trading order will be here on Monday or Tuesday.

Has anyone received their Disney Cruise package yet? I don't know what color the Disney napkins will be. I need to purchase 2 table cloths and some additional table wear but want everything to match so I'll need to make at least one more trip to the local party store.

Stopped at Marshalls today and they only had one or two H2O products but a lot of other spa products on clearance so I picked up a bunch to use in my guest gift bags.

Would someone mind telling me what page/post # the rum cake recipe is? Dialup is taking especially long tonight and I still can't find it when a page manages to come up.
I really appreciate it.
Thanks.
 
Was it this one, miatamel?

OK, here are the rum cake and Crab Delight recipes:

RUM CAKE

Vegetable oil spray
flour for dusting the pan
1 c. finely chopped pecans or walnuts
1 package (18.25 ounces) plain yellow cake mix
1 package (3.4 ounces) vanilla instant pudding mix
1/2 cup Bacardi dark rum
1/2 cup vegetable oil (canola, corn, safflower, soybean, or sunflower)
1/2 cup water
4 large eggs

GLAZE

4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) butter
2 Tbs. water
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. Bacardi dark rum

Place rack in center of oven and preheat to 325 degrees. Lightly mist 12-cup Bundt pan with veg. oil spray, then dust with flour. Shake out excess flour; sprinkle nuts in bottom of pan.

Place cake mix, pudding mix, rum, oil, water, and eggs in large mixing bowl. Blend with electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Scrape down sides, increase mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more until batter is thick and smooth, scraping sides again if needed. Pour batter into prepared pan, smooth with rubber spatula. Bake until cake is golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed, 58 to 60 minutes. Remove pan from oven and place on wire rack to cool for 20 minute. Run a long, sharp knife around edge of cake and invert onto serving platter. Poke holes in cake with wooden skewer or toothpick.

Prepare the glaze: Place butter in small saucepan and melt over low heat, 2 to 3 minutes. Add water and sugar, stirring. Increase heat to medium and bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat slightly and simmer until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in rum. Pour glaze over warm cake. Allow cake to cool completely before serving.

Store covered in foil or plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in refrigerator for 1 week, or wrap in foil and freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw frozen cake overnight on counter before serving.

ORANGE RUM CAKE VARIATION

Use previous recipe, but delete 1/2 c. oil and 1/2 cup rum and instead use: 1 cup fresh orange juice, 8 Tbsp. butter, melted, 1/4 cup dark rum, and 1 Tbsp. grated orange zest. For glaze, use 4 Tbsp. butter, 1/2 c. sugar, 1/4 c. dark rum, and 1/4 c. orange juice.
