December 15, 2012 A Yo-HO-HO-HO Holiday Fantasy!

The enemy (DCL) struck back and gave us a might blowpirate:. They might have shown their power but the fight continues...pirate:pirate: We just received our cabin assignment and no upgrade...:sad2:

I will fight to the bitter end (or until I have a conch cooler in hand:rolleyes:)Who is with me!!!!:rotfl:

I am with youipirate:pirate:pirate:. I too will fight to the bitter end (or until I have a conch cooler in hand:rolleyes:)
 
For those of you on GTY - check your reservations - rooms are being assigned. :cool1:

Apparently steerage is full (Cat 10+11) so we can't swap the one we were assigned, but there's plenty of time for that before we leave. :confused3

Hope some of you get some pixie dust!pixiedust:
 
Well we got our rooms assigned.

Cruise 1 5520

Cruise 2 5020

That means I have to pack up between cruises. Sigh.

Anyone on here have 5520 and is willing to trade?

On the postitive side of things. Both rooms are on exact opposite sides of the ship so we could learn which side we prefer once and for all.

FYI, Be Our Guess Ressies opened this morning. (Hint, NWMom:)) From what I heard waits are long but some are grtting through. It is Disney's newest Diniing option that is it down at dinner and unique counter service during lunch. The place looks amazing. There are several dinning rooms. Onelloks like the dining room from the castle and another is suppose to look like the Library.

Kevin

Ok, working on this............trying to score ressies for Be Our Guest Restaurant. So far no luck..........all times are taken for before the cruise. But I'm not giving up!!! Nosireeeee!!! Beauty and the Beast is Donna's favorite movie..........so I've got to get us in there. Plan on checking several times a day hoping for someone to cancell their reservation.
 
Next is to find a new lady to do an embroidered FE. The one I found and had been communicating with had some family/health issues, so she's bowing out of doing all embroidery work for at least a month. Not sure I want to wait til the beginning of October, when she said to check back in with her, to find out if she will do them again or not.

I know others have said that gradysmommy does them, but she doesn't do embroidery - only mickey silouette heads. Has anyone used 'ilvdisney2008' or 'magical dreams boutique' on etsy or ebay?:confused:

We have used "ilvdisney2008" twice and she does a great job on the FE's. She made our first one that was stolen, so I went back to her for our second one. She does embroidery them for you. She did ours and it looks great. (This time around though our FE is going to be mounted to the Fish so good, anyone trying to steal this one will have to rip the fish off the wall to get it!!!:thumbsup2)
 
Now back to finishing up the odds and ends packing. Amazing what gets hidden under the bathroom counters.
Hmm- maybe I'll make them take bathes at the old house to use it all up so I don't have to move it!!!!

Don't laugh- it's working with the refrigerator and the pantry contents. I feel like Bill Cosby letting them eat cookies and goodies to avoid moving things.
There is a reason I said the bathroom and kitchen would be the last rooms I moved!!!!!

:lmao::lmao::lmao::rotfl::rotfl2: That is funny Skye. I thought we were the only ones who did that sort of thing. The last move we did, Donna told me we are not moving anything we don't have too. So we did exactly the same thing you and Kevin did. It does work!!! And saves time!!!:thumbsup2

I'M With you Sarge!!! I'll be at your side, fighting to the bitter end!!! (As long as I have me one of those Conch Cooler's in hand.) I fight pretty good one handed..............specially ifn' someone is trying to spill my conch cooler!!!
 
Don't know if ya'll can tell...............I'ma back to work today.:sad::sad::sad:
It ain't too bad.......................but I still would rather be at WDW or cruising on Disney all things being the same!!!! Work just gets in the way of having fun!!! When will this madness ever end!!!! The only saving grace is knowing this cruise is coming up soon!!! We ain't too far away now troops!!! 114 days to GO!!!:banana::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

Back to work...........what is back to work?????????

I have 10 days before a short trip to WDW,:cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1: and I have to work every one:crazy2::scared::coffee::confused3. But at the end I have 5 days with my wonderful DW and DD10 in WDW then back home and wait for DEC 5th. :cool1::cool1::cool1:

I can do this.

Thanks, David, for your info. Just curious :confused3 What characters did she embroider for you? I am trying to see if she will do the Hawaiian Minnie & Mickey image I found, but because she only does licensed images she's bought, she doesn't seem overly flexible. Even tho she says that she can do over 200 images, she doesn't do Roo (for DD24) or Max (goofy's son for DDBF23) or the DVC logo. We may have to pick almost all new characters!! :crazy2::crazy2:

Hang in there Mr President.............you are strong...............YOU CAN DO THIS SOLDIER!!!

We might have to treat ourselves to WDW like you sometime in Oct or Nov to relieve some of the pain of waiting sooooooooooooooooooo long for the cruise to get here!!! 114 days!!! That will take forever to get here!!!!!!

Ugh! After all the moving you've been doing, it sure would have been nice to have you stay in the same cabin....:teleport::teleport:

But keep your chin up and I like your spirit :cheer2: in knowing you can check out both sides of the ship!

Linda, we didn't have her embroider any characters on our FE. She did tell me the same thing she told you about the characters. We just had our family name embroidered on the top of the FE and our given names embroidered on the pockets. The names were done in a Walt Disney script. Looks real nice. Does she have to buy the right to be able to use the images? That's what I was thinking............but then again........I'm not the brightest bulb in the lot.:crazy2:

David, that makes sense (just putting names). And you ARE a bright bulb b/c she said she has to buy the license to use the image. :cool1:

And about having your FE taken...someone suggested to bring small zip ties to secure the FE's. And then small scissors to snip the zip tie at the end of the cruise so you can take it down.:idea:

I am bringing plastic ties to secure our FE. Maybe a bicycle chain and lock, just to be on the safe side!!! Seriously, I would suggest everyone bring plastic ties to secure your FE. I would have never thought someone would steal something like that. :sad1: The FE was not an expensive item, it's just the idea that someone stole it. And, I had just checked not 5 minutes earlier to see if anyone had left something in our FE. We were packing up at the end of our cruise and Donna said why don't you just go ahead and bring the FE in so we can pack it with everything else. I open the door and it's gone!!!

Well, I made the call today to change the address for the cruise so our documents would arrive to the right place. I also mentioned the cabins not being the same and asked if there was any way they could be the same cabin for both cruises.

She said since one was a GTY possibly they could not change it, but she would ask when she called over the address change.

I said well, if we don't ask the answer is no, if we did ask it might be yes.
I said it would be really magical to not have to change rooms as that work mostly falls on the mama in the group. Chit chatted mentioned I was done moving for a while.

She laughed and agreed. It took a bit of singing along with the hold music, but we now have room 5020 for both cruises!!!!!!!!!!! Port side.

No more moving for this mama.:cheer2::cool1:pixiedust:

On the moving side I am hoping to have it all done before the end of the month.

PS I told all y'all the same time I told Kevin as I am so excited not to have to repack

CONGRATULATIONS on getting the same stateroom for both cruises. Not having to repack between cruises is a BIG plus. Donna and I did that on our back2back, had the same stateroom, and we said if we ever did another b2b that is the only way to do it!!

party:

I am soooo happy for you guys! And (sorry, World Wide Man club members) you're right when you say that the moving stuff would be on the mama. Just like my Kevin, I'm sure that your Kevin would be very amenable and helpful, but there always seem to be straggler stuff that doesn't get thought about by others. One less worry for you all....:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

Wow - it's almost like they didn't want to have your FE come up missing earlier on, so they waited until it was time to pack.:crazy2:

And what would they do with something that had your family names on it?? :furious:
