February 28, 2009 Bushwacker Banditos Magical Cruise

[tomswifemer]

Can't wait! This is our 4th onboard the Magic. We have three daughters ages 3, 4 and 9.

Has anyone scheduled a fish extenders group?

Oh Good! Another 9 year old girl! I've been looking for one! My daughter is 9 as well. Will you be coming to the meet @ 3:00 Saturday?

Speaking of the meet @ 3 on Saturday...how will we know each other?

My wife (Julie) and I will be on the Feb 28 cruise. But I'm new to the boards and I'm not prepared to read through 126 pages of posts to see if any meetups are planned. Can anyone give a meetup schedule?

Thanks!

Johanna...

I never did get the list that we discussed. Is there a place where I can grab it?

Thanks a million!

We had my DDs birthday party today. She will be 5 years old on Tuesday! Here are some pictures from the party. The theme was 'Under the Sea'.


The food
We served homemade Mac and Cheese using shell pasta, fried shrimp, cold shrimp, fish sticks, hot dogs cut to look like octopus', blue jello with gummy fish, and fish crackers.

A close up of the octopus'

Then it was time to sing to the birthday girl and she blew out her candles.

Tomorrow afternoon I can pull out the suitcases!

How wonderfully creative you are. These memories will last a lifetime!

Good luck with your packing! We've pulled out the suitcases, but they are still empty

QUESTION for this late commer... Is there a list of Cruisers on this sailing?
Anyone?

Thanks!

Hey Bonzie!
There is a list kept by Johanna I believe.

I finished my pre-cruise shopping today, found a full scuba gear set for 39.99 at costco and I snagged it, it is very cool. DH and I are going to clean the house up and then pack most of the clothes we will be taking.

I took a photo of the billboard I created for my old job, I was so happy to see it in town!

I wish I was in Key West right now. Anyway, can you fill us in on who our cruis staff will be? I know Brent will be the CD, but what about the others. Thanks.

Here are a few of the decorations.

Wow, what a fabulous party! I may borrow some of those ideas for my DD's party if you don't mind, she'll be 6 next week and we're having a SpongeBob birthday for her when we get back from the cruise. I am not creative at all so I need all the help I can get! Although there is no way I could make that cake Sam's Club is making it for me.

It feels good to get all that done, the suitcases are out, we have clothes out in piles and have done our shop for all the pharmacy type like things you need to tote along for a 4 year old.

Chocokat! Great billboard!

Jennifer will you be my Mommy?? What a great job you did on the birthday party!! Awesome ideas and what a beautiful cake, your dd is such a cutie pie!! Was it fondant that you used??

 

[Johnna_Story]

All - I will update the Dis list and send it tomorrow (MONDAY!) - after that, I just won't have time to make more updates.

If I don't have your email, you need to PM me ASAP!

MEET: we have only one "official" meet scheduled - at 3:00 in the Promenade Lounge on Saturday. I think a lot of folks will also convene together at the sailaway party - on deck 10 on the side overlooking the terminal. I know Dave from our group (if you've missed his posts, you've missed A LOT! ) has some trinkets for the kids (he mentioned whistles I think!) for the sailaway celebration and encouraged us all to bring bubbles too.

Now back to packing... Ciao for now...

Wanda your signs, pillowcase and T-shirts look awesome!!!

I went to Michaels today and got a wonderful frame and matt at half price. The matt and frame match the black and red for the Magic to perfection and I have already put the matt aside in a bag with lindt trouffles and a metallic marker to get it signed by the characters.

You drop them at guest services right? I can't wait to get a beautiful photo of DH and I to hang in our living room. I am soooo excited! Just 5 more sleeps until we depart to WDW and the magic begins!!!

Yours signs and T's look fantastic! Will you be MY Mommy? :lol:

What pharmacy type items are you bringing? I have plans to make a Target run just for that tomorrow! My list includes infant and childrens tylenol and bandaids. What else are you bringing?

Yes it is fondant.

@Chocokat My wife and I are from Tallahassee! We'd love to say hi on the boat!

Everyone else... hopefully we can meet up and say hi!

 

[donmil723]

Wanda--Awesome signs, t-shirts and pillowcase!!!!

Chocokat--Great billboard!!!!

Welcome aboard to all of the newcomers!!!

 

[3Charbys]

Chockocat... yes you just drop off the items at Guest Services... and they get them back to you the 2nd or 3rd to last night of the cruise!

We are doing a photo mat too... I only found one that was white with a black trim and a 2nd inside mat the same.... It should be good. I bought a package of 8 different colored "sharpies" for them to use on the 2 items! I am going to pick up a bag of candies for them when we stop at the Publix or Walmart on Friday. There are some things I just don't have room to pack!!

Donna! Thanks for the compliment!! Soon we are going to be out of these cold temps and basking in the sun!! Happy Dance!!

 

[jbuckent]

We are almost done packing! I may finish tomorrow, mostly just the last minute items.

 

[ejkjmom]

Waiting for a load of laundry to finish so thought I'd check in with a quick hello
Been busy TRYING to get things packed up the last couple of days...I'm gaining but not quite there yet

Not for sure if I welcomed all the newbies, so in case I missed some WELCOME!!!! Hope to see all at the meet.....

Wanda OMGosh!!!! I checked out your signs/t-shirts...you have been a BUSY Girl!!!!!
All your stuff looks so AWESOME, you will for sure win the prize for the most Awesome Door on board!!!!!

ChocoKat....How cool to see such an awesome billboard and know that you designed it!!!! You should be PROUD!!!!

And Jennifer..you go girl Looks like you had a GREAT party...it's not like you have anything else to do.. say like getting ready for a CRUISE!!!!!
I'm sure it is a relief to know that your party was a complete success and that it is now behind you, so you can now focus on getting ready for the trip!!!!

GREAT news!!!!!
I checked weather.com and they now have the temps for Fri at 77 and Sat at 76
I'd say that is PERFECT cruising weather.
And it looks like our weather is going to be good to fly out, that is always kinda a worry for us, flying out of Denver Colo in Feb/March you never know!!!!

Okay so much for my QUICK hello LOL!!!!!
Happy packing to you all!!!!

Dave, Michael and Marla...hope you are having a GREAT time...sure that you are
