July5,2003 Magic...who's going?

[Dis Mama]

sbennett-I'm new to these boards, but my thoughts and my prayers will be with Corey and your family.

joanb-I've lost 36 pounds since the end of January with the Disney Cruise as one goal. I have to shop for a new wardrobe and it is expensive!!! I plan on wearing a 2-piece a couple times for the first time since before having kids even though I'm not quite ready yet (20 more pounds to goal weight). I just hate to have my stomach get all white....Yuck. How much have you lost? Oh...BTW I am doing Weight Watchers, but will not be counting points on the cruise!!!

jeanneg-I'm so jealous that you're getting organized with the wardrobe thing!!!!

 

[joanb]

Dis Mama-I'm proud you have done so well on your diet-I grew p in Northern California-now just a southern girl!

 

[joanb]

jeanneg- I looked euchre and found hat there were several variation-which do you play? I kind of followed the rules on one web site but got lost afterthe first 5 tricks. Joan

 

[Dis Mama]

Guess I shouldn't even be discussing weight.....it's the Disney Cruise!!!!

 

[gometros]

DIS Mama - Good for you, I'm so envious. I really tried. Truly I did. I just hope I'm more successful in my trip planning

Sue - sorry I didn't say so sooner, but here's hoping everything works out (and I know it will).

 

[wendym]

Yippee - our cruise documents finally arrived - makes it seem all the closer.
Sue, we will keep you all in our prayers - you deserve all the pixie dust you can get.
Jeanne, sorry have never heard of euchre. I'll ask mum about it.
Having a look at the menu's again and I think we will try for Tuesday for Palo's.
Less than 1 teaching week to go
Wendym

 

[jeanneg]

Congratulations, DisMama, on your successful weight loss. I'll be wearing a 2-piece also: maillot and cover-up!!!!!! I really tried to take it off for the cruise, but it just didn't happen. I'm fifty now - I don't have to make any excuses if I don't measure up (or down, as the case may be) to anybody's expectations. I never let anything interfere with having a good time and I never, ever take myself too seriously! Life is way too short for that.

Joanb: We were originally taught the 6-card version, but some other couples preferred the 5-card (more standard) version, so the group switched over to that one. We can play both versions although we're not all that good at either!

About the packing: I just want to clarify that I'm not really all that organized. I just have a passion for packing light and if I can plan out exactly what I'll be wearing, I won't have to burden myself down with clothing I'll never use.

 

[joanb]

jeanneg--I love packing light, but don't know how for this trip and it is making me crazy. I have traved with 3 children in two duffle bags for a week--not going to happen this time.

I'll read more on the game--I'm know to be a mean uno player.

I'm not 50 yet, but the weight loss (gain)thing is hard to understand-I'll continue to excercise at least I'll be in shape whatever shape I take. Joan

 

[eye R.N.]

Sending lots of Pixie dust and prayers.


Dis Mamma, you go girl. Wear that two piece!! I am taking a 12 day vacation from the diet and plan to enjoy every good thing (in moderation) that the cruise has to offer.

Jeanne, you are a wonder. In my next life I want to be half as organized as you. I can't figure out how to pack lite for myself let alone three kids and a husband. Too many variables for this trip, the dining rotation has me stumped. After the lifeboat drill will our clothes be so sticky that we'll need to change for dinner? We can do casual at Luminaires but it seems out of place somehow. Tea and brunch have me wondering too. Is a skort too casual? Mexican night, I don't have a clue for that one. Then there are the two days drive down and three days at WDW, which will be hot hot hot. I am saving the plastic bags from the drycleaners for the dresses and suits, it really cut down on the ironing last trip.

 

[ablyinpgva]

All of you make me feel so unorganized. I have basically started a pile. I have made a list. But I cant imagine actually putting this pile into bags and living off it for 10 days. I live in VA - so maybe one of the organized cruisers from Jersey could swing by my house on their way to Florida to get me all packed and organized. Just a thought -

Only 17 days to go - I guess I better get busy.

As far as weight loss - I cant bear to think about it - I am trying to drop a few pounds, but at the last minute really.

Good luck to all.

My thoughts will be with Corey as well.

Nicholas has his MRI tomorrow morning. We spent the day at St. Jude today having a several things checked up on and everything was perfectly fine for him. Doctor told him to have a great time. Not experiencing any symptoms so expect the MRI to be the same as three months ago. Of course, I always hope for shrinkage.

I'll let you know how everything goes tomorrow. Have to get up at 4:30 a.m. so will probably come home and crash for a while.

[sjbakerus]

I posted some info on fireworks in Cocoa beach. Check it out if your interested. Basically, get the Friday paper and check out the TGIF section.

Also, I called the Raddison about their pool policy. There is a bar at the pool. They are not opposed to food and drink around the pool, but no glass. Typical policy... pool hours 8AM-10:30PM.

Does anyone know the CEO of AAA? I need to make some complaints!! No documents yet.

I can't believe we're only 2 weeks from leaving for Fla!!!

One more item of interest. Disney cruise line says no height requirement on the kids slide.

 

[luv2boys]

Hi everybody!!

Nicholas' MRI was fine so it looks like nothing will stop us from making the trip. Yea!!!

So who all is going to be at the Radisson? We will be there the third and fourth.

Eye R.N. - How will I know if you were able to make the brunch ressies? Will they send something to my room? I'm hoping I will meet up with everyone at the Sailaway Party (deck 10 right?), but I've read several posts about people missing each other.

See you all soon!!!

Amy

 

[jeanneg]

Amy: Glad to hear everything is looking good for Nicholas!

I missed everyone. I hadn't been able to get on the boards for about 3 days and started to go into withdrawal!

Sue and I had the opportunity to meet already. Good news: we be party people!!!! On that note, I hope to meet up with some of you at the Radisson, but we may not be arriving until about 9 or 10pm. on the 4th. I'll bring wine, plastic cups and whatever snacks we don't finish during the ride down! Then we can all stagger onto the ship the next day and meet up with the rest of the revelers! Just a little more than 2 weeks to go!

 

[ashleydoc]

My name is Ashley and i am going with my wife Karen and my 18 year old son Gary.We are from London England and are DVC members.This is our second disney cruise and we are in cabin 6574.After the cruise we are staying at OKW for 10 days.

Cant wait

 

[AnnaS]

Okay, I apologize fo not being able to keep up, Nicholas - shrinkage, MRIs? and prayers for Nicholars - I hope all is okay and will be definitely wishing them the best.

ashleydoc - welcome to this thread - quite a crowd here. We will also be staying at OKW after our cruise but only for four days - we cannot wait, our first time home since becoming dvc members back in 10/00.

I would call AAA about those cruise documents.

 

[sbennett]

Is anyone else having problems finding the "over the door clear shoe organizer" for the bathrooms ? I've tried homegoods and lillian vernon and some local stores with out success......help!!!

 

[eye R.N.]

First, I am sooo happy for Nicholas. Amy I know you must be doing cartwheels.

Now has anyone heard about Corey?

Ashley, welcome to our little party. There are quite a number of teens here so your son can feel right at home.

Brunch. I am taking down the list with room numbers so expect a note from me on your little fishy note holder when I know what time on Monday that we are meeting. I will be off the boards for vacation on July2nd so if anyone wants to join us let me know by then.

Over the door shoe holders. Our K-mart has a bunch, let me know if you want me to pick up one for you.

Jeanne, looks like we are going to be late at the Radisson too, but I'll head straight for the pool to at least say hi and have that long awaited glass of wine.

We have AAA to and no doc's here yet either. Maybe that mean we are both going to be upgraded (a girl can dream can't she )

We just unexpectedly got new insurance cards from Aetna I wonder if this is good thing, Oh well one less thing I have to search for.

 

[joanb]

I just got off the phone with AAA and they still do not have documents!!!!!!!!! Where are they???????????????

For those having trouble getting on the site this week...go to your last week s history and pick up the link. Worked for me.

Denise
Thanks for asking about Corey...he's still in the hospital but hopefully will be released over the weekend or beginning of the week. Psychiatrist says shouldn't be any problem with him going on the cruise/vacation....from her lips to God's ears! They're still adjusting the meds to figure out which one is affecting his heart condition, they've narrowed it down...so we're not sure about his having to have the cardiac ablation done (it'll wait until after the cruise/vacation with no problem) as a matter of fact he doesn't have an appt with his cardiologist until 7/25. We go and see him daily 120 mile round trip...we're exhausted and will be MORE than ready for the vacation, of course with all the traveling back and forth I haven't gotten things 100% or even 50% organized for packing....plus we have to find the keys for the car top carrier!
I never looked in KMart, but Walmart didn't have them....guess I'll have to make another shopping trip. Thanks.
We'll be at the Radisson on the 4th too....see you there?
