Is anybody else not able to print out the Disney Cruise Line Cruise Contract? It says I have to fill out all the other forms then I can fill out the contract. It won't let me click on it. Or do you just sign the forms that come in the mail and take those? :confused3
 
For those of you who have cruised before, after talking to fellow cruisers beforehand: What is it like when you first actually MEET everybody in person for the first time? Is it awkward or just like "talking" on the boards? :confused3 :rolleyes1 I am really excited to meet everybody and I feel like we are all friends here, just wondering what others have experienced or what everyones expectations are. Basically, I am just bored and thinking about the cruise ;)

Well, it's funny you ask that...my boss always tells me that when I answer the phone at work, I talk to the person like I have known them my entire life. I guess I'm just an overly-friendly person...my sister and my mom are both like that too. I'll be the person talking to everyboday! LOL!!!

If you ever get a chance to watch this kid eat corn on the cob, you'll see how she got that nickname. She's a study in pint-size chaos theory.

We watched episodes of Firefly last night. Man, I -really- don't like Reavers. :scared1:

Corn on the cob...fun times! My DBF always says that I need a bib when I eat corn on the cob and everybody else needs ponchos! :scared1: I'll admit, I am messy and I don't mean to be, but it seems to happen every time I eat it. :)

Firefly...isn't that the show with the character named Inarra? If it is (I can never remember) my friend named her daughter (who is 4 months old) Inarra after that character! :)





Here's a little pic of the current cover:

I also had submitted another about a year ago & they chose it in March I think...

That's some fun stuff for the Memory Box I tell 'ya! The look on his face when it comes in the mail is priceless. And I have the pictures ANYWAY from our blogs, so it takes just a second to zip them over to the magazine for submission.

Although I NEVER thought they would pick any of the pics I sent...and they've now used both. What fun!

Yay for Reese! That is so cool! We have homeschool programs at the science center where I work...I'll have to ask some of the regular parents if they read that magazine!

It was quite the wet day in PA. We have a Mickey rain measuring thingy (I can't remember the technical term right now...it's been a long day) measured 5 inches of rain! That's a lot for us! I don't even think we have 5 inches of snow at one time this past winter! It was rainy and windy thanks to Hanna.

So, it was a free day at the science center today. A political party rented out the science center for a kids expo so we were open for free for visitors and then there were community groups with tables set up all over the place. It's always a big event and today was no different...which the exception that it was POURING! People had to park far away because we have limited parking in our lot so everybody was coming in soaked. It was a nice day overall, even though it rained. :)

You can fill the one out in the booklet and bring the booklet, which you need the booklet with you anyway..

or

They will print one out for you at the terminal

I was able to print it out after having filled out the other forms (guest information, payment authorization, and flight information). They send you the same thing in the mail though with your docs.


Glad to read everyone else is a little on the timid side at first meeting. I'm pretty shy until I get to know folks myself. It has been a busy weekend getting ready for my brother's wedding in less than two weeks and of course getting everything together for our cruise!! Less than 2 weeks until we all set sail now.
 

OK---I soooo didn't read that as "sit" in your shirt. :scared1: I thought...your bird likes to poop in your shirt? How odd...:lmao: Duh.
HA Im glad I wasnt the only one :rotfl:

Guess what dh wants to buy? a new camcorder.

Which one did everyone buy?

I cant find the thread, dont know why, maybe since it is over 500 pages long. :lmao:
OH me too.. but E wants either DVD or Hard disk... our last one had the lil mini tapes and ended up eatting them so were both sort of timmid on getting another one that takes tapes.

Tell him to practice his name cuz IM going to ask him for his autograph :)

OH I LOVE IT.. both of them the serious GQ and the hammy orange LMAO bunch of studs this board has :)

I just read this and after all the inlaw talk, I had to post it.

>
LMAO that joke was GREAT! love it

I figured since I'm not an adult (;) Not an *adult* cabin, then I could look!)
My opinion: :thumbsup2
I really like your thinking....:rolleyes1

Oh and I'm terrible with faces *and* names. Just sayin'. And most of you who don't have a picture in your avatar or signature or on the other board or anywhere else I'm just letting you know I have a picture of each of you in my mind and you better look like what I imagine you do.

Thank goodness for the lanyards!
ya I might be doing that glance at your waste look at 1st to catch a name/screen name on our lanyards LOL

LOL!!!! Apparently, many think the same thing. I've had a lot of blog visits today .... from DISboard folks .... :rolleyes:
ive still been a good girl.. but its really hard. but im thinking i CAN peak since its just for adult only cabins.. RIGHT?:confused3 lol

SO I got my magnet situation all finished today. Went to E's work and he and the boys went and played Army.. err Marines LOL outside while I sat in his office and printed off all my magnets, maps, etc that I needed. Tried to do my tshirt transfers and almost BURNT the shop down LOL:rotfl2: I forgot the transfer paper was for INKJET printers and at his job its LASER so its much hotter, and basically melted the paper, the printer was SMOKEN! We cleaned that mess up. And called it a day lol. So Ill be doing my transfers next week when I go visit a friend borrowing her printer LOL.

AHHH but it feels so good to check that one off my list!

oh also tried to call and make ressies for dinner at a few places and ya all booked. GREAT! Being from LA and doing the LAND all the time we dont get crazy over places to eat LOL.. We grab some burgers and call it a day LOL so this is all new to me and kind of makes it even more frustrating now LOL... I was looking at doing table service IN the parks so we didnt have to leave... but there all booked so looks like ill have to find something outside of the parks and cross my fingers they have something. If NOT my dinning is really a waste:headache:

I feel you with that one :thumbsup2
 
Good Morning everyone,
Now we have to worry about Ike now:scared1: Three weeks from today we will be heading for Castaway Cay:cool1:
Is the Magic at Dry Dock yet? It's still bummer we won't be the FIRST ones to sail her when she's done.

FYI .... I *never* said it was just for adult only cabins, just that it was for adults .............


On the way to church now. Will post more later. :)

I would like to say that I have STILL resisted looking, against all odds. No promises for today, though - we have internet again at home ;)
 
Yup thats what we had, lost power last night around 8:30 or so, neighbors and Crissichef and her family were over, it came back on around 3:30am, Elliott's Mommy, I dont know how you have been without power for 4 days:scared1:

I did peek at the FE gifts, they are amazing, I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM, so crafty!

Off to take kids to soccer pictures, then over to Crissi's house to do our MNSSHP shirts:banana:

I looked! They're awesome! As are all your other posted projects. I so envy "crafty" people!

I have not posted much on the boards, and I have a hard time keeping up w/all of you guys, but I have a favor to ask. I am going to talk to the schools this week about my kids being out for the cruise. In the past, they have been in private school, so there was no problem taking them out, but this year they are in public school, so there may be some resistance (or jealousy!) :lmao:

At any rate, I decided this morning to take a map of the U.S. to post on our door (6044), and as any of you guys pass by, please stop and mark on the map where you are from. As I said, I just came up with this idea morning, so I don't have it all worked out yet. I know not all of us are from the U.S., so I'll need to plan for that. When we get home, I'll let the kids take the map to school to prove the educational value of their trip. :thumbsup2

Thanks in advance for your help!

On a different subject, what is Mancala? Is it a board game or a card game?
 
Hey guys...since nobody knew about the Character Breakfast situation I posted an inquiry on the main board.

It does seem as if the Character Breakfasts on Thursday will interfere with our DIS Photo Sitting. (this will happen on all our at-sea days so unfortunatley changing the day does not solve the problem).

I was informed that CB's the EARLY seating starts at 8:30...the LATE seating obviously follows that (9:45 or so). Palo brunch ressies start at 10:30, which will likely be before late seaters are out of the CB.

Unless we figure out exactly when both are happening and squeeze the picture right in between about 1/3 of us may not be able to make the photo shoot. Its difficult b/c the new CB format is a traditional one where the characters visit your table (not that Island Jam thing they used to have), so everyone may finish up at different time.

I know I for one am excited to do both so I hope this is a situation we can work out. Who was handling the picture? Denise and Rhonda???

Slap me up a little bit it if I am obsessing unneccesarily. ;)

Yep, she is on her way!
Some of the folks on the 5-night that just got done were saying that they were ripping up and installing new carpet before they had even gotten off the ship. They also said they had started on the splash areay by the Mickey Pool too!

Woot!:banana:

I am horrible with names (unless I talk to you several times at which point it finally begins to sink in) and I'm not real good at just jumping in when in a crowd...that's why I'm sticking with Amy!!!!!!!!!!!:cool1:
 
I've been awol for a few weeks from the thread so I'm trying to catch up.

I've read the 1st post (of Chapter 4) to look for any new info - is there anything else that I might be missing that is critical that isn't on that first post? I figured I'd log back in and find out we're going to Costa Maya again or something.;)
 
Denise, I guess that's a good way to make lemonade with Hanna! Not to rub it in for those who had all the bad weather, but we had one of the absolutely best days of the summer yesterday. I think the high was 78F degrees, sunny, and a pleasant breeze.

Carol, Costa Maya? Well....I think the best response to that is "you never know"!! I think one critical piece is that you should be on the lookout for is to stay tuned for tropical storm and hurricane updates from TVEPFOX. She's our own personal meteorologist, reporter, and analyst....the BEST and only source, imo! She shares the advantage she has as being an Exec Producer for Fox by giving us news that is literally hot off the press. Hopefully she has threats on her on-staff meteorologists for him/her to make sure we have smooth sailing with no interruptions. So don't miss her postings! OH! One more thing. If you're in the market for a new camcorder, Videoman Charlie is our expert resource!

Knowing I'm no different than you guys, I just have to say I'm simply getting SO excited I can't stand it. Thirteen days before I depart, my ticker has the words "1 week" in it, nearly everyone's countdown is now in the TEENS, and we' all be together in 20 days drinking Konk Koolers and fighting for the hammocks in 21 days!!!! WOO HOO! I just couldn't resist playing the Travel Channel's DCL program this morning, so I'm watching/listening as I read the DISboards this morning! :goodvibes

I would like to say that I have STILL resisted looking, against all odds. No promises for today, though - we have internet again at home ;)

Hang with me, Erica! Great news that life can go on now that the internet is back up at home! :laughing:

I know how talented Shell is, so I'm so excited to see what I can learn from her...again!!! She's wayyyyy too modest!

...I have not posted much on the boards, and I have a hard time keeping up w/all of you guys, but I have a favor to ask. ...

Great to see you again!! Did you guys have any challenges with Gustav?

I would be more than happy to stop by to help the kids. This has got me to thinking.........

There are a couple of you who have requested that we stop by your cabin to see and/or sign something. I want to note that in Post #1. I'm so afraid I'll forget someone, and I know others want to help you out, too. So, right now all I can specifically remember besides Nemontinksmom is Heather (CrazyZeus1) (well, there's my selfish scrapbook autograph signing, too). However, I'm really certain someone else has asked us to stop by. Was it Nette or ntheory? Someone else? Anyone else? Feel free to PM me or post here.

I have "Print Off Post #1" on my packing list, so I'll make sure to do that before I leave. Then I know I have various points of reference that I'll find handy during the cruise with me. If you also do this, just make sure you read to see if there's a link in Post #1 to something that you'll also want to take with you (e.g. FE lists or geocaching locations).

True but at least maybe they will be finished with all the lil touches on the 1st sailing so we have the Magic all perfect LOL

Still not looking :angel: ..... and its killing me!:headache: lol

aww man that sucks. how did you know it came on at 330am? Did all your lights come back on LOL. We did that once along with my hairdryer started up LMAO

At any rate, I decided this morning to take a map of the U.S. to post on our door (6044), and as any of you guys pass by, please stop and mark on the map where you are from.

Slap me up a little bit it if I am obsessing unneccesarily. ;)
This is as close to a slapping smilie as the DIS has :wave2: lol.
But Im with you on this... I so want to be a part of both... any thoughts or ideas... from you VETS?:confused:

Knowing I'm no different than you guys, I just have to say I'm simply getting SO excited I can't stand it.

you know I still have never caught this show. Miss it everytime it comes on.. really starting to think I need TIVO/DVR now LOL. HMM wonder if its on youtube?

Hang with me, Erica! Great news that life can go on now that the internet is back up at home! :laughing:
We can do it girls...be storng.. we will have that much more pixi dust in our F/E then lol

I know how talented Shell is, so I'm so excited to see what I can learn from her...again!!! She's wayyyyy too modest!
Totally AGREE!:thumbsup2

Always thinking.. GREAT IDEA KIMBERLY! I too was wondering how to keep track of those need to stop areas to help the kids LOL

Just added it to my list not to forget LOL. AHHH Feel like there is so much to do still. :scared1:
 
Whewwww ~ haven't looked at the posts since Thursday afternoon......you guys are such chatters.....

jjarv - We live in Lock Haven......north of you approx. 100 miles.


Went to Bryce's football game Thursday night.....he made his first tackle of the season:thumbsup2 I was yelling.....get him Bryce...get him, then he tackled the guy and another guy fell on top of him and I started shouting----get off of him....he's little.......:eek: My DH was mortified I said he was little...... It was a tie game (12-12) :-)

A woman in her early thirties came and sat down on the bleachers in front of us with her baby (around 18 mo.) looked at us and said excuse me...laid the boy down on the bleachers and proceeded to change his poopy diaper in front of everyone. I couldn't believe it!!!! It was all I could do to pull in my DHs reigns from saying something rude to her.

Maybe I am old school.....but this was over the top as far as I am concerned. What's wrong with people???

DH is officially retired as of Friday am ....... so another adventure in our life is about to begin......:dance3:

Have a nice day everyone....we are off now to take a motorcycle ride.:moped:
 
I did peek at the FE gifts, they are amazing, I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM, so crafty!
Ack I saw them too, but it was because I went to see what the invitations you had mentioned on the last thread looked like. Both were amazing Shell you are so very talented. I have the majority of my FE stuff done so I'm feeling pretty happy about that as I have been doing mine all assembly line style.
 
Cruise picture: If thats the day of the CB and some people have Palo brunch, I have NO idea what time to make it

Here is the problem: I AM A PEOPLE PLEASER... and its NO FUN:guilty: so I am going to feel bad NO matter what happens, I NEED INPUT, I NEED HELP deciding on a time, I dont want anyone not to be able to make it...

Drea: Dh woke up when I think the bathroom light and our ceiling fan came on, how funny about your blowdryer, I was wondering if anything funny was going to come on in our house!

Nemotinksmom: We are neighors... we are 6048! We will gladly stop by to leave our mark, we are from PA
