DISNEY DREAM 5-nights May 29th, 2011

[Miz Diz]

DH and DD have theirs already. No time for DM or me so we are wearing black pants, oversized white shirts and a red scarf as a belt. Just need a headpiece probably a bandana some large gold hoop earrings and voila we're pirates!

My washing machine died. Seriouly, NOW? Crap!

I'm wearing a black or white peasant top, black capris and a pirate bandana.


I haven't even begun to pack!

You all are on top of things!

So I'm finally printing out forms. I only have one online check-in signature form. Right? Last time I think I had like much more forms I printed out, I think, or maybe I was more neurotic. So just confirming, I just have my trip docs, with luggage tags and this one form?

This is our first year doing door magnets (and FEs, and Disboards, and...)

I'm not getting too crazy with them, I've got about five and most of them are 3x5 or so in size. Thought I'd share a pic of this one i made to represent Kansas! (though really I'm an iowa girl at heart!)

Have a great day!

very clever... love it!
I did a really cute collage magnet for our door of pictures from our Disney vacations starting in 2001 and then titled it "Living the Disney Dream since 2001" and then put Mother Daughter cruise and the date..It turned out so cute!!!!

This is the first time I have done the door magnets too. I have done FE before ,but not on this trip...Too much since it is just DD and I alone.

Josie and I are getting Highlights on Friday... I need it bad...Cover up some grey Then I also plan too tan some this next week.

For each stateroom we only have one online check-in form, our cruise doc booklet, and luggage tags. I have officially started packing- my guest room looks like a bomb went off!!! I feel like I have tons of extra luggage, but because of FE stuff, pirate stuff, and a few surprises for our kids, I can't squeeze everything into any fewer suitcases. My husband thinks I have completely lost my mind (he might be right), and the last few nights I have woken up in the middle of the night because I remembered something else I need to do or bring then I can't go back to sleep because I get so excited thinking about how soon we are going to be setting sail!! Anyone else having trouble sleeping?

Door magnets all printed (need to attach magnets which will be dont tonight while I watch NCIS Season Finale). Walmart trip DONE - bought everything I need for the cruise - but COMPLETELY FORGOT the birthday party present for Saturday for the 4 year old next door.

Bought DH 2 new bathingsuits. DS got new sneakers and PJ's. Boys made out - DD and I - NOTHING!! (or so DH thinks..... I went shoe shopping last week and did VERY well...... )

I need an opinion!!!!!
DD and DS can't swim yet - they are getting there but still not 'safe' in the water if it's over their heads. Should I bring their swim belts (they wrap around their waste) for the pool and/or CC?? I'm not as worried about the pools since I think they'll spend more time in the Mickey Pool than the family pool, but I am worried about CC, especially if it's windy so 'wavier' than calm. (does that even make sense??).
I believe I can get something for them for Pellican Plundge (like a water-ski vest) but can I rent those for the day or should I bring their belts (not huge but will take up some room in the suitcase...)

That's what I am seriously thinking about doing about right now. Of course DH has his Captain Jack shirt if I can't come up with something else for him. I have a big white blouse that has a wide black belt and I could probably pair that with a skirt or leggings. Gotta see how time holds out. I have been known to put outfits together in a day or two, but I just don't know this time. I'm tired and NEED a vacation, not more things to worry about.

Denise,

The last 3 times we visited CC the water was so calm and very shallow pretty far out, but they do offer life vests that you can use for the kids and also for adults if you choose too snorkel. I always brought Josie a blow up ring that she used too keep around herself the whole time. She was such a fish and she never wanted too come out of the water. Still your idea about the belts is a good idea ,but if you don't have room, then just use DCL lifejackets.

Just got an E-mail from the German version of the DIS, the Main Street Emporium saying they miss me because I haven't been on lately. When the Dream was being built someone from their forum was putting up some great pictures. Someone from our forum was reposting them without permission & got yelled at, so if we wanted to see the pictures we had to sign into their boards. It was a little bit of a process since I only understand a little German, but Google translator helped. The only thing is not to use the translator to write a message, because it comes out all mixed up on their end, just like when it is translated to English it comes out furhuddled (Sorry, I'm PA Dutch, that translates to backwards) They told us to just write our posts in English because they understood that better than mixed up German. So we wrote English & they wrote German & we translated to English to try to communicate. It worked pretty well.

I guess with the Fantasy being worked on I should get on again and see if there is anything new up on their site.

I have a feeling there will be a lot of Capt Jack shirts at the party!!!!

Thanks for the list on what to pack, now I just have to get in the mood, darn layoff....somethings have the worst timing and finding something else isn't working well, but we need these trip now more than ever.
I am so envious after reading about the door magnets, I hope we are not the only family without any

Not to worry, I haven't made any either. Our door will be nekked.

Same for us, no magnets or door decorations.

No FE for us either.

In training class all day, so just checking in. Hope everyone had a great day. For our Tinkerbell fans:

I found a cool website with animated Disney pics: http://www.criticallayouts.com/component/option,com_rsgallery2/Itemid,330/catid,412/

Great for including in your posts.

This is how I felt after my training class today:

I shopping and find retail therapy to be quite an effective solution to a stressful day...

But not today! I can't find the black pants/capris/caprilegging things that I have in my head that I want for the trip.

Shorts...FINALLY found some I mostly liked at Target tonight. I hated all of the ones at pennys and OldNavy seemed either SHORT or LONG which I don't like. Grrr.

It's so NOT ME to NOT have luck shopping. Shopping is in my blood.

And then, I was in the poorly lit dressing room at target, looking in the mirror while changing and thought "Thank GOD this isn't a nude cruise!"

When you see me, just tell me I look good/hot. It's okay if you lie to me. So long as you are a good liar

So for pirate night, I had envisioned this cute ruffly-front white tank/sleeveless top that I just have not found. Right now it's looking like pirate night will be black capris with a black sleeveless top. Not sure about a sash. Thoughts?

on the upside, magnets are done (chuck I'm so surprised you're not a magnet guy!), tan is coming along nicely, and Thursday I go get tortured, er, I mean, get my eyebrows done. (doesn't matter how many times I've had that done, I always curse when that RRRRRIPPPPP happens! lol).

And there you have my day!

oxoxo

I've bought "pirate" material and did a quick cut and sew to make a sash and used it. I liked it! It's cheap and easy too!
