Hey Everyone,

I hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I want our cruise top get here, however I don't want to rush these next four days off either. Plus I need them to get my Final finished.

I hope everyone stays safe. I will probably be checking the boards a lot again today. Who wants to work again. Not me. LOL!!! Well I will chat with everyone later.

I can't wait to find out what our dinner rotation will be and how many people we will sit with. I found out that you can request a table for two, however it is only a request. My aunt just went in Oct and they requested one with two and got a table for ten. No big deal. I think that my mom can muddle through a few dinners with other people that she does not know. I hope. Any opinions on this matter. Or help with how it is to dine with people you have never meet before?

Thanks for everyone's help.

disneygatorfan-Yes,it is a shame that Spurrier will coach another team.I told DH this morning.I hope we beat them next year!That would be something.Trust me in this gator town of ours that is all one hears.

thejenjens-We have requested a table for two,so hopefully we will get it.We are having second dining.The first cruise we sat with dh parents as we had both ressies hooked,and the second cruise we were lucky as we had to sit with six others.They were great people,so we had a great time at dinner also.I hope we are this lucky this time around too.

Will anyone else be in Diversions Sunday night? It's the Eagles vs somebody. DD is happy she will be able to watch with kindred spirits. Doesn't get the chance to see them too often here in South Florida.

Jen - we're usually at a table for 8. the first few minutes are a little strange; but it soon goes away. Guess we've been lucky. Have always had very nice dinner mates.

Everyone have a great Thanksgiving! And be safe if you travel; and even if you don't.

We are having a Thanksgiving blizzard here! It's our first snow, and boy is it snowing hard! We are supposed to get 4 to 6 inches. I hope all those holiday travelers are careful.

Happy (First Snow) Thanksgiving To Everyone!!

We are really having a snowstorm for our first snow in Michigan as well. We are forecast to have 4-6 inches tonight as well. There have been many accidents and a plane skidded off the runway here in Lansing. Ugh!! I sure am glad I am not driving anywhere tonight. It is supposed to quit by morning. This kind of weather makes me want our cruise to sunshine come even faster. Ugh I hate winter and snow. I don't mind the cold as much as the snow. It is the pits to drive when it is icy.

Hope everyones travels are safe!!

After 3 hurricanes, there was a time when I was wondering why the heck I lived in Florida...

but with all your talk of blizzards, cold, and snow.. I remembered!! Thanks for the reminder

Now if it would only be December 11!

Michele and Kathy - Keep warm and be careful driving in all that ice and snow. On a positive note, all this miserable weather now will make you appreciate the warm tropics all the more!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

 

[DisneyFam5]

We have to drive all the way to my parents tomorrow. It's got to be at least 8 blocks away! I feel sorry for all those people who were travelling tonight. I don't miss those days when we would go from chicago to wisconsin to Ottawa and back to Chicago! Not very relaxing holidays.

Everyone enjoy your pumpkin pie, but dream of Creme Brulee and Baked Alaska! Soon, very soon....

bumping to top... Happy Thanksgiving everyone...

I went ahead and created a yahoo groups for our cruise. On it, you can post photos/etc... someone did it for our DIS group on my last cruise, and it was neat being able to recognize faces. Anyway, if anyone is interested to post a scanned photo, feel free!

here is the link:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dec11magic/

if you aren't already a yahoo member, you will have to register, but it's free...

Hope everyone is enjoying the turkey, football, and most importantly the family! 16 days til we cruise!

 

[Disneyfan37]

disneygatorfan-Great idea!I just joined!

Hope everyone has had a great Thanksgiving day!We surely have.Now,tomorrow I will finish up my shopping as well as get some baking done.

Two weeks from Saturday,and we will be off.It is so hard to belief!Time has gone by so fast!

From what I read,the disboards will be having maintenance this weekend,so we won't have any boards for 24 to 48 hours.Hope everyone has a great weekend!

No sign of mine.

Anyone here score an upgrade yet?

Sam-
The Illini will be playing Wake Forrest Wednesday. It will be our first high ranked team of the year. They've been hyping them so much pre-season, I'm afraid they will be jinxed! Good luck. (but I hope our luck is better!)

We had a reserved room, so no upgrades available here.

I saw that! Wake has to take care of Arizona tonight, first. If Wake can take care of 'zona and Illinois in the same week, I'll feel a lot better about their #1 ranking.

Wake's play so far has been spotty but promising.

I just ran into my first bit of Stormy Weather for the "Big Surprise" - I missed the Thread that said there would be a board upgrade this weekend and that PM's would be cut back to 7 Days. Er go, all the PM's that you all were kind enough to send to Angela are gone. I deliberately didn't print them out sooner than I had to because if they were in print, there's an increased chance they'd be discovered. It's my fault. I wasn't paying enough attention. Just wanted those of you who went out of your way to send birthday wishes to her, she won't receive them. I'm not about to ask anyone to take the time to "do over", but should anyone choose to, I'll make sure this doesn't happen again!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Tick Tock... 2 Weeks From Today! Yes!!

 

[Disneyfan37]

I am sorry you had this problem.I went ahead and pm you another one.Hope this is the only glitch you have.You just think no matter what she will be very happy!!!!

DH and I had a great Thanksgiving.We just keep thinking two more weeks.I just saw the Magic leave Port,and it is very cloudy out there.I hope we leave in nice sunny weather.It has been raining here in Gainesville all afternoon.I asked Verandah Man to capture a photo of the Magic leaving on December 11.He said he will try his best to do so!

Hope everyone has a great Saturday evening!

Sam -
The Illini kicked some Gonzaga butt today! I hope Wednesdays game is a close nailbiter, whoever wins! It's so much more fun that way! We have such a history of choking, but this will be quite the test!

Mark -
I will PM you soon

Jwann - Where are you? Did I scare you when I said I was a stalker? I was only kidding!

Thanks Maria.. Got it! And, it's on it's way to the printer right now.

Happy that you got to see the departure today. Just think... Only ONE more departure from Port Canaveral for The Magic until it's US doing the departing!

Mark -
I will PM you soon

Thank You Fair Lady!

I'm looking forward to the game too. Wake took out Arizona last night but it was a very close game.
