Did you all hear that Capt. Tom on the Magic said the 2010 dates/itineraries will be announced in OCTOBER?
Hi Shell! Yes, the toilets are LOUD!Reese usually won't flush it. It's better with the lid down but it's still pretty loud. Prepare her for a loud flush & see if she'll do it. I always ended up flushing for Reese because he was afraid of it
Oh honey, don't get stressed!!! As stated, this is your VACATION...that doesn't mean a vacation from your preparation woes!! You'll get everything you need to finished done. I bet you always do. We always manage to do it. So if you haven't done so already, make a list, prioritize, and you'll feel so good as you mark off the most important items. If there are some left behind at the bottom of the list, just remember that Castaway Cay and Mexico are in your future!!
As for FE Fun, everyone, I had a conversation about this with someone else this week.REALLY...we should not stress out about this. That is not the intention. If you don't give to everyone, I honestly don't think anyone here would be offended or care. From getting to know this group, I really think we're all not the type of people who expect to be handed things in life.
I'm not a coach (where's Erik when you need him?!!), but let me give this a shot!
Speaking for myself, if I can make just ONE person smile or laugh, I'll be happy, and I expect nothing in return. There are many of us, so if you don't give to everyone, there will certainly be something in those pockets for those you didn't leave a surprise at their door. Give what you want IF you want. Heck...a sticker for kids or any of us scrapbookers would be great! Remember....by majority vote and discussions on DISDoubleDip, I see it as we agreed that there are no "rules" other than letting us know who you are and making sure we know where to find ya! It's what you want to make of it. So that's interpretation to each individual, right?!?! Take care of YOUR vacation and families needs first!! The rest is just a cherry on top. I've reached this point (and felt so much better once I conceded to this theory), so anything left on my list is classified as cherries or sprinkles. I may not get it all done, but I know what NEEDS to be done will be. I assure you it WON'T all be done either, but that's okay. I'll have met a bunch of new friends in person in exactly 5 weeks to the hour and sharing white sandy beaches with my new friends in 36 days! THAT'S what matters.
It is amazing how the toilets can be jet powered and the overszed hair dryer with it's own proton pack does not seem to dry anything.
Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!
You guys rock. I may have found someone to borrow/buy a dress from and I am getting started on F/E gifts tonight.
You guys are truly the best and I can't wait to meet you all in person.
I feel much better now.
Pretty awesome, huh?

LOVE THE TAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am glad they are new and the tag fairy is just a bit delayed (and THANK YOU to whoever the tag fairy is who is reading this thread). Odder yet, I don't remember WHAT that second quote is about. Does anyone else recall? (yes, I am a dip
).
THANK YOU for posting that. I was SURE I didn't have tags and then all of the sudden I saw them earlier this week and the quotes are from a while back so I thought I was loosing my mind and the tags had been there all along
Not me, but I like the spelling mistake in the Tag, shows Even the Tag Fairy makes mistakes

That's where we spend the most time every year. In the kiddie petting park thing that you can go into for free (of course if you want to feed the goats you pay $1 for a cup of food, but Reese doesn't like when the goats get pushy for food so he's just happy to pet). 
I wasn't going to label rooms before hand, but now I think I will because some gifts are for adult cabins and others are for the kids and I'd rather just grab & go with my FE gift instead of trying to figure out which room what FE gift is supposed to go to while onboard. Sometimes, I can't keep up with this bunch!
Hi All,
I am trying to prepare for this cruise and freaking out. I am nowhere near ready. I keep reading all the things everyone has done to get ready. I don't have a fish extender. Had the bright idea to steal someone's idea from the other day and use a plastic pocket. Can't find one anywhere. Went to Dollar Tree, Dollar General and Family Dollar. I also went to local fabric store and looked at material, even though I can't a sew a button on.
My F/E gifts need to be made and I am slowly working on them. Trying to gather ideas for the kiddies.
I have hunted hi and low for a formal dress and can't find anything reasonably priced or what I want.
Okay, deep breath. It will all happen. I know it will. I used to be so organized with house, work, etc. but now with our 4 yr DS life is hard to get anything organized.
Just wanted to post and vent a bit. Feel better now.
Off to Sunday School Class Picnic party.
Toodles
We can do this "SIS" LOL baby steps. and in 5weeks it will be done! I HOPE!Don't stress! I've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to get all of my F/E gifts done so I'm going to give people IOUs and my email address. If they want one, they can email me with their address and I"ll be more than happy to send it to them in the mail. I"ll bring along what I have done and pass those out, but I decided it is not worth stressing about it.
Have a great time at your picnic!
Canon i960 I LOVE IT... not sure if they still make it.. its about 4yrs old.... I LOVE IT. seperate ink wells and also photo ink too. my prints come out great. Now what size larger are you looking for.. bigger then 8x10? I really want a larger format to print out 12x12 scrapbook sizes so I can go digital but that will wait.. lol
GO TEAM GO! It is amazing how the toilets can be jet powered and the overszed hair dryer with it's own proton pack does not seem to dry anything.
Stressed over a dress?
EBAY!
There -- all stress is over now!
THANK YOU for posting that. I was SURE I didn't have tags and then all of the sudden I saw them earlier this week and the quotes are from a while back so I thought I was loosing my mind and the tags had been there all along
....Question...Did we ever decide on our meet-up on board the first day? I think I missed a day of the boards and I was 9 pages behind already
Oh Stacey I do wish it were the tag fairy's mistake. I am a terrible typist and it looks like one of my common typos to me (and yes I am totalyl embarrassed that my typo is right there for ever now
ARE YOU IN MY MIND.... we must be twins LOL. This is how I feel. I just read my TO DO list to E and he said.. HALF of it is not MANDITORy..... man if looks could kill..
haha... ya even E got skured with the Flush O'matic 2000 when we were on the SS Booze cruise last year. Yup that big bad tough Marine scared of a toilet... AHHH MY HERO!
Love it.
He is steadfast in his belief that only girls clog toilets. He thinks we sneak constipation cookies while his back is turned. He gets his revenge by stinking up the house. thinking of my poor DH trapped in this house of horrors. Little did you know that husbands are good for more than just opening jars... oh no! Husbands are the resident plumbers with the magic plunger!
I LOVE how you say destress on EBAY... yet that is the cause for my stress.. cuz people keep outbidding LMAO... off to check my 27dress's im watching.
I've been to Excaret on another cruise line. It is a wonderful place that I highly recommend, but ONLY if you have the full day to devote to it. IMHO, the time available on the Disney cruises just isn't enough at all. Yes, the kids can have a lot of fun snorkeling, watching the plays, looking at all the animals. The underground river is long, cold, and you must wear a life jacket. Some people panic in the dark but it is not clastrophobic at all and the dark lasts for just a few minutes. With Disney, there is zero time for shopping. It just would not be as relaxing enough to me to try it on this cruise.OK Was looking at the Excarta thread on the main forum and E walked by and said that looks cool were is that. Told him Cozumel and he was wondering why were not going there instead of just doing the beach break thing... So anyone else doing this... or that HAS done it.
Would it be ok for P and J. J's not that great of a swimmer just learned this summer really. I see you wear a life vest but still. Also is it worth the 45min there and back?
More importantly.. is there still time to do some shopping???
I love it that you blame all the squirming on Jeremy and not my grandbaby!! And yes, I love my girls whole bunches!OliverOAS: Whole Foods is gooood.Next time, First class tickets!
Ok, that's enough parental blather. I love my "girls."
