Jan. 22- 29 , 2011 Western Caribean Cruise on the Disney Magic!!!

I pop in and read every day, I'm just shy about posting comments myself :blush: I've always been more of a sit back and listen kind of person...drives my husband nuts because he is so outgoing. We balance each other out that way

It makes me glad that you all are such a friendly bunch, makes me look forward to the cruise even more!

Come do the margarita tasting with us all, you'll be pretty chatty by the end I'll bet! :rotfl:
 
so for prizes we could make a little lute bags with some candy and different disney stuff like playing cards, stickers etc. I guess it kinda depends on the age range as 3 year olds and 15 year olds may not get excited about the same things. I will try and think of some ideas and will pm you my email address so we can brain storm.

Definitely! I was thinking a magnet for everyone who finishes and something else, just don't know what...

For the quieter, shy people, IRL I am actually a shy, to myself kind of person(I know, hard to believe) but I tend to open up more when I can't see people...lol. My husband is usually the life of the party. I guess since I am more a computer person, that is where I shine!

I hope we have a great Meet! I am looking forward to meeting some new people!

You!? Shy?!? NO!! I think you'll shine anywhere!!
 
Hi guys. Sorry, we've been really sick. This is my 8th day of being in bed and I even mentioned to DH that I would rather be sent to the hospital so I can relax and just take meds than run around after DD2 who doesn't understand her Mommy and Daddy are sick. Thankfully DH got antibotics and feels better than I do and is taking a bunch of the work. Will be back on more often soon.....and soon will hopefully have some good news. :)

Oh, I am so sorry! Hope y'all are back to normal soon! 8 days! :scared1: Just be sure and get your flu shots so you don't get sick again...
 
I guess because the scavenger hunt on board was already in place when i got here and i lazily did not read back through the thread....
I dont know what the scavenger hunt entails. If we are meeting at a place and doing it all together is this the one that you are giving out and we do it at our liesure,,,, i am a bit confused and hadnt asked i dont always like to look like i dont understand whats going on:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

I can be dense at times.....:hippie:

When we did a DIS trick or treat we gave at giant goodi bags at the end.
We each brought items already bagged up enough for each child no matter if it was just some candy or something else and at a designated time we took it to the ladies room in charge and she filled larger gift bags with the items....
The kids got a huge loot of things it was pretty cool.
But that was a holiday.

But you could do that or a smaller scale if very one brought just one brought one small item then you could have a tiny gift bag at the end.

But once again..........as always........I am down for ANYTHING!!!:thumbsup2

Well, your board name is dizzi!! :hippie: :rotfl: I think we decided to hand out the on-board scavenger hunt the first day and set up a time to meet later in the week to see who finished and hand out prizes for it...
 

Dh 40th bday was yesterday.
He picked a horrible restaurant i woke up with my stomach growling...
Oh well only 40 once!!!

WE are taking off on motorcycle today just for a day out we wont be far from home....HAPPILY you dont have to be fr from home here to do a lot of different stuff.

The beach is 5 mins away. going there first to take walk then maybe bonnet house and los olas and lunch on the beach and passed port everglades see what ships are in.

Have a great day Ya'll....
Maybe i will try to take the time and take soem pics today and post them later have nt done that in a awhile.

TTFN

Happy 40th to your DH!!! Have a great day riding! PLEASE post some pix!
 
LMAO! Someone is trying to regain her reign as top poster on our thread...lol.

For starters, I think a Disney Magnet of some sort is more than enough of a prize for the scavenger hunt. It was never meant to be an additional burden for anyone. I think it should be about time with your family and exploring the ship more so than about getting something out of it, but that’s just me. I am still waiting on a list you were going to send me Kelli, but after hearing you’re sick, now I know why. I hope you feel better soon. And as for you and your husband Melissa, I hope you both feel better soon and if you don't, I hope it is the news you were talking about! Good Luck!

In regards to daily meeting times, I just figured if we set up a time and place for morning and evening, whoever is free and wants to get together can meet up and either play cards, talk or do something together without feeling obligated to be in any one place at a particular time when you’re doing something else.

Lynn: Happy 40th to your DH! I cried when I turned 40 :( I cried when I turned 30…lol. My daughter is on my side though and when anyone asks my age she says I am 21! And she will fight you to the death on that one…lol.

As for the scavenger hunt onboard, I think we were talking about handing out a list on the first meet and then getting together sometime on the second sea day to go over the results. It seems to be a better idea than having to devote your time to doing it on a certain day where you may have other plans. I am not sure how many families have signed up for the scavenger hunt but I know it wasn’t many.

Once again, I apologize if I offended anyone by the mention that we have some quiet people on the forums. I was just wondering if we had lost any more families than the ones I already know about. I really am glad that people come to this forum and check out the going ons. I know I would have gone nuts by now had I not found this forum. I have learned so much from the open forums and from our group of passengers.

Look Kelli! All in ONE post! ...lol JK <3

Time to check on my muffins, have a great day everyone!
 
Wow, you guys are all very observant! I am so impressed! :) Yes, I am pregnant....6 weeks...shhhh! I was sick from that and now super sick from this cold. I've been to the doctor about the cold and they are trying every natural method possible and I am slowly feeling better. The past 2 days I've gotten worse and go to my first OB appointment on Tuesday so I am going to ask about taking antibotics. You're not supposed to take anything if possible this first trimester and I took Robitussin on Friday after losing my mind. Yesterday and today I took Tylenol. All OK by my doctor but still not 100% safe so I've been trying to avoid it. So yeah, sick and as I'm coughing I'm gagging from morning sickness which is all day. PLEASE let this not be the whole first trimester or pregnancy. I'm such a strong person usually and this cold is beating me down hard. :( But the good news I always wanted to cruise being pregnant.....all that food! I should be around 19 weeks when we sail. :)

The bad part is I probably can't do the 5K. :( I've been told I can't do more than 30 minutes of exercise a day (haven't done ANY in the past 3 weeks) unless I was a runner before.....which is not the case. :( But I will cheer you all on! And hopefully DH...as I think it would be a wonderful goal for him but I want him to want it...not me.


Anyway, a magnet is just perfect for the scavenger hunt! We may not be able to meet the first day, as I am hoping to get onboard and put DD down for a nap before the drill. I am hoping to sneak out to meet everyone while DH stays with DD but it depends on how exhausted she is.

The tea party....is that something you think I should rush to the Purser's Desk to get that first day? We don't plan on doing Palo reservations and are happy with our seating so this would be something we could do on our first day when we board. Or is this something that you sign up for as the days go on based on the Navigator? DD is totally into tea parties and we play them all day long....with a Disney princess she may lose her mind!

CONGRADULATIONS!!! (oops, was that my outside voice?)
I know how it sucks being sick when your pregnant. I had pneumonia when I was 8 weeks pregnant with my middle child(DS13) and had to take demoral while I was pregnant. I like to think that is why he is so mellow now...lol. I wish you all the best and I can ask my mom(a self proclaimed homeopath) what you might be able to take and IM it to you so you can ask your doctor if it is ok for you if you'd like. I hate knowing you don't feel well. Were you ill with your first?
 
Okay, I demand a recount!! I have been sick as dogs for the last few days and have just gotten on board. As you can probably tell, I am now trying to regain my #1 status! :lmao:



Hopefully, the closer we get, the more they will come to check in! If not, we will still have a fabulous 97 days til we cruise!!!!!!

out of love for the sport.... i have joined several threads together here...
since you may not have known there was such a sport or if you did know there was a post counting sportt and did not realize we were engaging this sport, this will not continue after today as i am very competitive by nature.
:confused3

Definitely! I was thinking a magnet for everyone who finishes and something else, just don't know what...



You!? Shy?!? NO!! I think you'll shine anywhere!!

What about an actual medal/ribbon????
Well, your board name is dizzi!! :hippie: :rotfl: I think we decided to hand out the on-board scavenger hunt the first day and set up a time to meet later in the week to see who finished and hand out prizes for it...

:rotfl2::rotfl2::hippie::rotfl2::rotfl2: true....
 
Thanks for the b day wishes

CONGRATS ON THE BABY!!!

Pictures coming soon
 
Thanks everyone! Yes, Chrisse, if you talk to your mom can you please ask her what is good for a really bad sinus cold/cough? My OB told me these things are fine to take but everywhere you look on the internet it says all these bad things I am doing to the baby. But now 9 days of this suffering can't be good either! I even took another prego test to be sure I didn't cough of sneeze him/her out! Silly but you should see what a mess I am! :) I had nausea all day with my first so that feeling is the same. Thankfully that only lasted a few weeks so hoping for the same.

Congratulations! I hope you are feeling better soon.:sick:

It is also too bad that you can't do the 5k...but taking care of that baby is the most important thing.

I'm still counting on others to join me though:jumping3::jumping3::jumping3:I don't want to go alone!! I will appreciate the cheerleading though.:cheer2:

I think magnets or medals/ribbons would be a fine prize for the scavenger hunt. Please whoever is organizing the event let me know if there is anything you want me to buy/bring. I can't bring anything too large since we are flying in but I would like to contribute. :flower3:
 
Come do the margarita tasting with us all, you'll be pretty chatty by the end I'll bet! :rotfl:

haha, you know, I probably would be.

My husband and friends got me "tipsy" on my 30th last year, for the first time in about seven years, and I can sorta remember being a little bit on the chatty side. I know I gave everyone a good chuckle, that's for sure. Myself included.

Congratulations Melissa :banana: i do hope you are feeling better soon though. From what I was told if you want to take part in the tea party you should sign up the first day to be sure you get a spot. I think the party is with Alice but not 100% sure. I think beacuse space is limited if you wait you may be disapointed. What time are you hoping to get to the terminal? I think we are going to aim for 12:30 and grab some lunch and then if DS needs a nap we will have time before the drill and while he naps DH or I can get unpacked. Did you decide on a crib or rail for DD?
 
Wow, everytime I tried to check this thread out today I had a kid bop into the office, so this is my first chance to read through. By the looks of it, my post count standing has dropped significantly! :lmao:

Melissa - Congrats on the baby! I might be interested in the margarita or martini tastings. I'll see if Michelle is up for one or the other, too. As far as scavenger hunt prizes, I think a magnet and maybe some candy would be fine. If I can contribute to this in any way let me know. I'd be interested in doing some sort of meet after dinner. Doug and I didn't really do much "adult" stuff on our last cruise, so I never did check out any of the clubs.

I'm listening to my Jimmy Buffet/Kenny Chesney playlist right now, dreaming of our MAGICal cruise in 97 days. :woohoo: Have a great week, everyone!!:goodvibes
