Ugh I'm actually dreading making ressies for the cruise and WDW. There is no way i can be up at midnight then be at work the next morning and functioning. WDW I'm not to worried about but I do want an early spot at CP. I may have to train my brother how to do all of this and pray he doesn't screw it up.

What is CP?

Yikes Lissa, you're right!! I just checked the letter and it said the 19th not the 18th. UGH! Thanks for the reminder. I'm in the same boat. DH doesn't mind late nights so maybe he can do it.


Also, I see we have 21 (actually 22 if we count Eeyore18 and her mom separate as they have different rooms) for FE's. How many more people do you think we should get for? I want to pick them up on Friday and start working on them as I'm off next week. Maybe 30???????

What is CP?

I think this usually means Crystal Palace. I took me a while to remember it though. There are just so many abbreviations, it's impossible to keep up with them all.

What time in the AM should we leave CBR to get to RD at MK? We have an ADR at CRT and we want to use FP for BTMRR before PHing to DHS for ToT, F! and EMH.

If you can understand all that, there's something seriously wrong with you.

I'm planning on 30. If I can get one done a week, then I should be able to meet that goal!

OOOPSSS! I guess it's a good thing that I am NOT a math teacher!!!

I mean - three a week!

Thank goodness there isn't 30 weeks to go until we get on that wonderful ship!

I guess I'm safe.

Snorkeling was okay water was calm , views were okay.......one conclusion were finding is that any excursion on the water is fantastic

10: How long have you been planning this cruise?

Let's get chattin'!!!!!!!

 

[3princessMommy]

Okay - I'll go first:

1: What is your favorite movie genre? Romantic Comedy - I have very limited cinematic tastes

2: If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be? My Fair Lady - it's long enough to fill an afternoon, there's great music - and who gets tired of Audrey Hepburn!

3: What kind of music do you like? I am a Country girl all the way! Go REBA!!!

4: How do you like to listen to it? (I-pod, CD, cassette, good ol' LP, etc.) I'm still stuck on CDs - the whole I-pod just confuses me at this point.

5: If you could go to one place to visit - where would it be? I have always dreamed of Tahiti. Tried to get there on my honeymoon and didn't make it and haven't managed it since.

6: Do you speak a foreign language? If so, which one? If not, which one do you wish you'd learnt? I speak French and Spanish and spoke Russian at one point. (I haven't used it for 8 years and it's not something that you can keep up without practice.)

7: If you could meet one person on earth, who would it be? I would love to meet Colin Powell.

8: What car do you drive? We have a Toyota Highlander - need 4WD here - but we need a right-hand drive car for Kampala.

9: What is your dream job? I'm doing it! Although, I'd love to be Secretary of State!

10: How long have you been planning this cruise? We booked this cruise about a year ago - before we even went on our first DCL cruise last summer.

Okay! Who's next?????

 

[mickeymo]

Pop Quizzes!!! No tests on this material later, please!!!

Let's try to jump start the conversation!

Here's a little quiz to get to know each other better as we head into the home stretch:

1: What is your favorite movie genre? Musicals

2: If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be? Since all the Star Wars Episodes probably won't count as 1 movie..... Tough one - Probably "White Christmas" or "The Breakfast Club"

3: What kind of music do you like? pop - 70's, 80's, Musicals, Classical,

4: How do you like to listen to it? (I-pod, CD, cassette, good ol' LP, etc.) iPod for most - Phantom of the Opera, 1812 Overture, Beethoven's 5th and 9th and Bach's Toccata in Fugue in D minor on a pipe organ must be played on the stereo loudly

5: If you could go to one place to visit - where would it be? Top of my "must" do list - Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia - Living in Canada at the time, John and I had a trip planned and were going to fly his mother up to watch the kids - unfortunately, she was scheduled to fly September 13, 2001. We're hooked too much on cruising to make plans again.

6: Do you speak a foreign language? If so, which one? If not, which one do you wish you'd learnt? Learned French - spent a month July 1984 in Paris as a homestay immersion program. Unfortunately, I haven't used it in a long time, so I've forgotten most of the language

7: If you could meet one person on earth, who would it be? Greg Louganis

8: What car do you drive? 2001 Toyota Highlander

9: What is your dream job? Librarian

10: How long have you been planning this cruise? Booked the day Reservations opened. Planned for 6-9 months prior with my parents.

I have to laugh at that one - as much as I love musicals - this is at the top of my list -Thankfully, I am not in charge of any national security secrets - because, this movie played over and over would break me in a heartbeat!!! His treatment of her and then she returns to him at the end just drives me crazy!!!! and I just watched it again last week.

That said, I love Audrey Hepurn's costumes!!!

Oklahoma would be next on my list...

So where did you end up on your honeymoon?

 

[3princessMommy]

So where did you end up on your honeymoon?

Southern Caribbean cruise on Norwegian. It was cheaper and I couldn't get enough leave to get all the way to Tahiti.

I LOVE Anne of Green Gables. I tried to get my girls into it - but I think they're too young. Of course, it just gave me an excuse to read it all over again!
