"Double Dip Delight" 09.27.2008 - Chapter 5!

[anewmac]

Drea, do both! Do 3 days at Disney and then the 7 day cruise!!! Or just dump it all and do the WB TA in 2010 with me!

Amy you know me so well... Im sitting here trying to figure out how I can do it all LOL.... note to self pick up lotto ticket tonight lol

oh and still working on the WB TA also.. LOL

UGH! So sorry! Are those discounts only for 2009 sailings?

I know I shouldnt complain here they are offering discounts and im complaining LOL So far ya its just for the 09 sailing. Which works out to be as much as the WB TA well if we would have book right when the dates came out.

Well thank you! I wear my Crown of the Day pretty well if I do say so myself!

Whew! I'm exhausted just trying to follow what I wrote there! I've had my Admin powers engaged for only 13 hours, and I've received 495 Friend Invites! I'm going to be one powerful Fashion Diva though I tell ya!

I keep reading about this stuff and mafia wars etc.. and am holding out on joining in cuz I know Ill be hooked and never leave the computer... LOL but its very tempting to know what it is all about LOL

How do all you facebookers like the new layout. I didnt like it at first but its growin on me.. sort of. I have my moments LOL

wink, wink!
Why thank you, guys!
Now, who wants some cake?

HECK YA Any plans?

Hey did anyone watch ER last night??

I havent watched it in forever.... I think since Carter came back from Africa or wherever he was. lol

Ours definitely wasn't borderless. I wish I could remember what border they did put on it, though. I'm excited about using the KTTW card at Shutter's this time, though!!!!

Cant wait for your report back on how it works



Oh no!! I'm sorry, Drea!!! I do think you should do both, though ......... of course, I'd try to find another 4 days off to make it an even 14 days, though. LOL!!!

Im trying, working on winning the lotto 1st lol

Should I mention that I will be celebrating my next birthday by packing and leaving for PC????????

awesome how fun, Im jealous!


Hope all is going well for you guys today. I have FINALLY broken through with the other thread I'm on .... and am now in charge of lanyards. LOL!! Oh well, at least I am feeling better about that thread and group. Hey ... did I mention that I have an invite to go see/tour the Roy suite????? I'm pretty happy about that. The people in that suite also have a 4 year old dd. We're hoping to get her together with Jaydin to hang out. I think they would really enjoy making new friends for the week.

Good for you, they didnt know what they were missen with ya! Glad they woke up over there! Ok I want a report back on the Roy Suite.. you know since Val and I gave it up for the DDD LOL

BTW, was it you, Shell, who had the Dress Mickey magnets that were stolen? I can't remember if it was you or Stella or someone else. I was SO looking forward to seeing that, but when I got to that cabin to drop off FE goodies, there was a sad sign saying they were stolen (How dare someone! Really! That just eats at me that people steal like that.)

I know Erika had a HUGE Mickey magnet, but it wasnt dress the mickey? my only guess sorry!

 

[Magic3forme]

Shell: Yeah for finally breaking through!! I am doing the fe list for our cruise in 2010. that just seems soo far away!!! we are cancelling our cruise for this Oct... I am still pushing for Hawaii.

Drea: 14 days in Orlando sounds perfect. and then drive up to Atlanta and come visit me and Shell.



I am not loving the new fb page.. but I am sure they will change it again just as soon as I get used to the new page.


John and I just booked our trip to Vegas. sooo excited!!! anyone have any recommendations? I know we have to see the fountain at Bellagio, the animals at Mirage.

John took jr to work to watch crash tests, I can only imagine what we will come home saying!! he was eating a huge candy bar...someone at the office bought him one...hmmmm the life!!!

How many days will you be there?? I was just there last week. They also have lions at MGM and there's a show playing in the evenings (I think it was like 5:30, 7:30, etc) with the pirate ship outside Treasure Island. Where will you be staying and for how long?

 

[MagicMe]

oh and still working on the WB TA also.. LOL

 

[FatCat]

I have switched form Bud Lite to MGD 64. Less calories

 

[TheDisneyGirl02]

I have switched form Bud Lite to MGD 64. Less calories

That's good! Does it taste like less calories?

 

[Magic3forme]

Amy: we will be there April 6th (early) - April 9th. We are staying at the MGM.

 

[anewmac]

Shell: Yeah for finally breaking through!! I am doing the fe list for our cruise in 2010. that just seems soo far away!!! we are cancelling our cruise for this Oct... I am still pushing for Hawaii.
What island are you looking at going to?

Drea: 14 days in Orlando sounds perfect. and then drive up to Atlanta and come visit me and Shell.
What parts are you guys in again (or going to be in lol) I would love too... always told E I want to go back and see where and what it looks like now where I used to live as a kid.


I am not loving the new fb page.. but I am sure they will change it again just as soon as I get used to the new page.
I guess it has a few times before Ive found out....


John and I just booked our trip to Vegas. sooo excited!!! anyone have any recommendations? I know we have to see the fountain at Bellagio, the animals at Mirage.
FUN, just the 2 of you? You know what happens there... stays on the DIS right LOL

John took jr to work to watch crash tests, I can only imagine what we will come home saying!! he was eating a huge candy bar...someone at the office bought him one...hmmmm the life!!!

OMG how fun! HAHA Im just John is enjoying Jr on a sugar high

I have switched form Bud Lite to MGD 64. Less calories

Less calories, taste great? How the treadmil going for ya? Did you also switch to lite mayo?

Amy: we will be there April 6th (early) - April 9th. We are staying at the MGM.

In there you can check out the lions for free I believe (or at least you used to be able to) if you go off the strip to the Rio at certain time they have a Mardi Gras Parade show. Paris is fun, you can go in the Tower ($$$) they have the best crepes (get the chocolate one LOL) Coyote Ugly is a fun bar (girls dance and sing on the bar, like the movie) Imperial Palace has a cheap comedy show. We go everytime and have seen Bob Saget, and crud some other guy thats famous for like $40 plus you have to buy 2 or 3 drinks.. NO PROB! The mirage you can see the volcano erupt outside for free.

 

[Magic3forme]

Drea: we are actually looking at 2 islands. Hononlulu and Waikiki... I think that is right. lol. Marriott has a deal, buy 4 nights, get the 5th free. But John will have enough hotel points by then for the rooms to be free and hopefully 2 or 3 airline tickets.

We are moving to Alpharetta or Cumming Ga...isnt that a great name? It is north of Atlanta!

thanks for the suggestions on Vegas.. yep what happens in Vegas is public knowledge for Dis. lol.

John will find out tomorrow if we can upgrade our tickets to first class. one of the perks maybe for him travelling soo much.

I just made my reservations for Atlanta in 2 weeks. I have an interview at the one school too.

You ABSOLUTELY should be sharing your excitement!

....LOL!! That's hilarious!!! Have fun being a ***star***! Glad I was one of the friends that got you *before* you became famous! LOL!

Yep...you're an original from the no-name days!

.... I've had NO snack food at all in over 2 weeks, but one little piece of cake wouldn't hurt .... would it???????????

IMPRESSIVE!! Good for you!

....I have FINALLY broken through with the other thread I'm on .... and am now in charge of lanyards. LOL!! Oh well, at least I am feeling better about that thread and group. Hey ... did I mention that I have an invite to go see/tour the Roy suite????? ...

It's about time they realized what they've been missing! I'm glad you've pulled them out of their shelters. Certainly makes it more fun for you.

How awesome that you're getting into the Roy!

Gosh! You're just full of fun news!

BTW, was it you, Shell, who had the Dress Mickey magnets that were stolen? I can't remember if it was you or Stella or someone else. I was SO looking forward to seeing that, but when I got to that cabin to drop off FE goodies, there was a sad sign saying they were stolen (How dare someone! Really! That just eats at me that people steal like that.)

LOL! Well, I'm definitely excited, and I have so much more time to wait this time. I may drive you guys crazy by the time I get on the boat. LOL!

LOL! An original. I like being an 'original friend.'

Yep ... and I've done Wii Fit every day for 16 days - and lost about 5 lbs. LOVE it.

I can't wait to see the Roy. I may see it a fair amount if Jaydin and their daughter become friends.

Nope. That wasn't me. I remember it happening, and it was on Deck 8, but I can't remember, for some reason, who it was.

Amy you know me so well... Im sitting here trying to figure out how I can do it all LOL.... note to self pick up lotto ticket tonight lol

Cant wait for your report back on how it works


Good for you, they didnt know what they were missen with ya! Glad they woke up over there! Ok I want a report back on the Roy Suite.. you know since Val and I gave it up for the DDD LOL

I hope you can work it out to take advantage of some of those deals, Drea.

I can't decide if I like FB now or if I like the old one. I'm not used to the new stuff yet.

Can't wait to give that report!!!

Shell: Yeah for finally breaking through!! I am doing the fe list for our cruise in 2010. that just seems soo far away!!! we are cancelling our cruise for this Oct... I am still pushing for Hawaii.

Wow. I don't think I could stand it if I had to wait another year or more!!!

I'll let you have Hawaii. I just don't have any major desire to go there for some reason.

YES!!! Come on to visit!! I'd love to see you. Maybe Val will be settled in then.

LOL!! Yep. I'm sure that's what will happen.

Yippee!!! I hope you guys have a great, great time.

Fun!! Can't wait to hear what they have to say.

We are moving to Alpharetta or Cumming Ga...isnt that a great name? It is north of Atlanta!

I just made my reservations for Atlanta in 2 weeks. I have an interview at the one school too.

I sure hope that we can manage to get together at some point once you move. Surely, we could meet in Marietta or something.

Where are you staying when you come in then? Bringing kids or leaving them back home?


Wanna see???

Amy: we will be there April 6th (early) - April 9th. We are staying at the MGM.

As noted before, if you are staying at the MGM; they do have the lions that come out to play (they are behind glass ) and you don't need to pay anything to watch them although it did get a bit crowded.

The Coyote Ugly bar Drea mentioned is directly across the street inside the NYNY resort. Just cross over the bridge, go into the resort and hang a left towards the Excalibur and you'll see it on your right.

Don't forget to check out the second floor shops at the Venetian. You could actually take a gondola ride if you wanted (complete with a singing gondalier!). Still, it's fun to watch (for a short time).

FYI - there's a place near the cocoa cola shop (I've been told) where you can check on tickets for shows at discounts. It's sort of like the place in Times Square in NY where you can get same day tickets for a lot less.

Oh and for $7, you can purchase a 24-hour bus ticket that you can use to hop on and off the buses up and down the strip. It's cheaper than the monorail and much more convenient. This bus can also take you to old Vegas if you want to get a glimpse of the old neon (Binions, etc).

If you want to spend $$ for shows, Terry Fatore (the guy that won America's Got Talent - I believe last year - the one with the puppets) is at the Mirage. If you enjoy them, there are a ton of Cirque shows also. I just saw LOVE at the Mirage when I was there last week. Got tickets on line at 25% off for about $70. They were high up but it really didn't matter. I actually liked it 'cause I had great visuals. Of course you can always pay big $$ to see Bettle Midler at Caesars. She's been rotating with Elton John and Cher (although I don't think Elton John is there for too much longer). But as Drea mentioned, you can see a lot of shows with some good entertainment without paying all the big $$.

Lastly, we were playing the slots and really enjoyed ourselves Wednesday and Thursday night. We'd win some, lose some and win some (I actually played a penny machine with $5 on Wednesday night and left it with $250). It was nice 'cause we would play a while on a little money since the slots would seem to pay a little more often. We noticed a big drop in the payoffs on Friday. They didn't seem to pay even the small amounts nearly as much as they were. I think they must hit a switch or something for the weekend crowd.

Melodie:
thanks for the great ideas. My brother recommended the habitat at Mirage.
you can pet the dolphins.

Shell: I will drive to Marietta anytime!! You can point out the good shopping

John and I just booked our trip to Vegas. sooo excited!!! anyone have any recommendations? I know we have to see the fountain at Bellagio, the animals at Mirage.

When are you going? I am surprising Mike with a trip there, but not until the end of September.

Zumanity is a great show for adults at New York New York. Mike and I saw it, I really liked it. It is known as "the sensual side of Circue du Soleil"

 

[anewmac]

Yep ... and I've done Wii Fit every day for 16 days - and lost about 5 lbs. LOVE it.

note to self stop playing guitar hero and getting carpul tunnel syndrom and play the wii fit good job!

aww adorable! so Handsom!

WOOHOO Congrats! I love just sitting and playing on the slots with "free" money for a while!

How fun!

Speaking of Circue De Soleil... has anyone done the show at DTD? Was thinking of doing that file we were down there... but not sure if the boys would like that or not?

There's a really cool stamp store on the square .... a long with a ton of unique shops. Then, there's Towne Center. The traffic around there is a pain the patooty, but it's neat to go there.

Thanks for the comments on the pictures. I thought he looked very nice.



Yes!! We've done that one. We loved it. My boys have seen it twice and enjoyed it very much both times.

Hi everyone!

Guess what?! We now have a limo booked for the wedding! We all went to a bridal show today and it was so much fun! Dave didn't want to go at first, but I'm pretty sure he enjoyed himself after we got there. We pre-registered at Bed Bath and Beyond and got a free pasta maker!

I'm hoping to pick up my dress tomorrow since it is in finally! Yay!!!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

[Magic3forme]

Wahoo... a pasta maker..even I dont have one of those!!

congrats on getting a limo too.

 

[Buckeye Gal]

Well, our cruise just keeps on giving!

Did any of you purchase the blue 2008 scrapbook and/or the package of scrapbook papers and stickers? I've spent much of today preparing for next weekend's girls' scrapbooking retreat in Amish Country here in Ohio. Can you believe I never opened those up until today?! I'm kinda glad I hadn't because it was fun to see something new! There's also plenty that I can use after my cruise next year, so I won't need to buy more scrapbook pages!

I like the green patterened paper that is in the scrapbook. It's very nice! I seem to recall that they sold out of the packaged paper very quickly. Thankfully I went there the first night and grabbed it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the tasteful, non-cartoony stickers as well as those with the characters dressed up in their sailor outfilts. LOVE THEM!!! There's even a cabin's fish sticker that I plan to use on my FE scrapbook pages! Hey...you can't deny that fun getting some recognition! That's indeed something I plan to feature. I've even pulled out little notes people wrote or their customized gift tags to include on the pages.

NEWER CASTAWAY CLUB MEMBERS: I know that many report that they either never get a Club Card or it comes 6-8 months after they cruise. I haven't received anything. Has anyone else?

...I keep reading about this stuff and mafia wars etc.. and am holding out on joining in cuz I know Ill be hooked and never leave the computer... How do all you facebookers like the new layout. I didnt like it at first but its growin on me.. sort of....

...I know Erika had a HUGE Mickey magnet, but it wasnt dress the mickey? my only guess sorry!

Oh hun...you will be addicted. STAY AWAY. Of course you're hearing this from me who send you an "interesting" Facebook game this weekend.

BTW, great to hear that you're still referencing the WB TA!!

....Marriott has a deal, buy 4 nights, get the 5th free. But John will have enough hotel points by then for the rooms to be free and hopefully 2 or 3 airline tickets.

We are moving to Alpharetta or Cumming Ga...isnt that a great name? It is north of Atlanta!

thanks for the suggestions on Vegas.. yep what happens in Vegas is public knowledge for Dis. lol.....

Val, the financial logistics for that Hawaiian is an amazing and set up crying your name to own! You just can't pass that up! As for Vegas, I agree. It's ALL for the DIS!

Well...I can't wait to find out if I get to snicker when I make out your Christmas card this year!

...Nope. That wasn't me. I remember it happening, and it was on Deck 8, but I can't remember, for some reason, who it was.....

.....Wanna see??? Jared and his girlfriend ....

Okay...Jared looks SO handsome!! He looks so much younger than he is, yet so grown up! The picture of him and his girlfriend is too sweet! I love it!

I very much remember seeing Erica's cabin door. I feel in love with it! I even took a picture of it! That's not the "Color-forms" Mickey that I was referring to though.

So the one I was inquiring about indeed was on Deck 8. I remember exactly where it was, and it wasn't too far from my cabin on Deck 7 (horizontally speaking).
