Magic 11/20/04 Thanksgiving Cruisers?

Ya'll are just gettin' me too hyped up which is hard because I've been so revved up about this trip so long....:hyper:

Teresa...
Thanks for the updates and sharing the little door sign I made with everyone. It helps greatly since our home computer isn't fully functional. I lost all of my cookies so haven't been able to log on to the DIS as a registered member there...aargh! I am so happy for your upgrade!! Hubbies can be sweeties still. :angel:

Willie and Kellie...
Sounds like a great way to celebrate your anniversary! I understand the "special-ness" of WDW and marriage...WDW is where I realized that Eric, Nic and I would make it as a family. Eric gave Nic the trip for his 7th birthday before we married and I freaked out about spending a week 24/7 together. When we returned, my mom said, "well, ya'll didn't kill each other so you'll do fine if you get married." She was right. :bride: :groom: ::MickeyMo

Doug...
Hey, let your DS know there are two other boys going from the DIS boards...my son, Nic is 12 as is Teresa's (silver7) son. Nic hasn't had a lot of time to be online lately, so I thought I'd pass the info along. I will let Nic know there are more boys...he's still not a big fan of the opposite sex and that is just fine with his mom. :bitelip: Although that could change any day...this week is junior high homecoming and the big dance is Friday night....Nic's still not sure if he's going.

And about these lime green shirts....it's really not my color! I am partial to reds...actually am thinking about wearing red or a tie-dye shirt that has red, fushia tones in it. If the boys decide to wear the family shirts on the way down I will let you guys know, but for now...we're in different outfits. Like Ron (Lampskies) it's been on the cold side here...it was 30º when I woke up this morning and hit the high in the 60s. DH, Eric, is still planning to wear some jeans for Saturday as we leave at 3:30am. DS, Nic, is adamant about wearing shorts. (I'm waffling...capris or shorts.):scratchin

About that formal night attire...
I have a floor length dress, taupe, made from crepe with bead work and a georgette jacket to match. Eric and Nic are both donning tuxedos...yep! The 12 year old wants to!
For semi-formal, we're going all out...get the use of those tuxes since they come with 2 shirts....and I plan to wear a pair of black slinky pants and a dusty rose with shots of silver top.

80's Night for Dancing...
Wow! I will feel just like I'm back in high school....can we all brush up on those breakdance moves in the next few days? :cool1: I might be game...we'll just play it by ear...Mickey's that is...:earsgirl:

Blast it all...can't remember who said they were arriving on Saturday at 1pm....we, too, are landing at Orlando International at 12:22pm, then hopping one of the DCL busses to the terminal...maybe if we gang up on Lampskies we can manage to grab a few of those shrimps.

Well, I have 2 cruise errands to run before Nic arrives home from school so I'd better get moving...

See you all soon!
Laura ºoº
 
WOW, when i was in HS, i could "bust a move"!
now i just BUST!
However, i can still do a pretty good moon walk!
i'll practice this week so i do not embarass the DW!

Let me tell you all that it is HARD TO WORK in this state of mind.
Actually, after a sales call tomorrow morning i am on VACATION!

Besides that...watching Julia work so hard today, cleaning the house....is making me tired!
(the previous line reflects the MARS point of view, and does not necessarily reflect that of the whole house...so i'm told) Does anybody know if there is a DOG HOUSE on board?
Ok i'll do something tomorrow.

But seriously...can anybody do anything but have MAGICal DREAMS!

I WANT TO SEE MICKEY!

Mark pirate:

MMMMMM
Can anybody improve on this picture?

GC looks beter
 
30%chance of showers...........hmmmmmmmmmmm how can I improve this? Hey, I know............. that means a 70% chance of no showers...........right?
 
One week from today we will be a cruisin at sea about to get to Grand Cayman. .. . and bustin some moves:rockband:
 
I just finished filling out our cruise documents!! Usually I am doing that in the hotel the night before we cruise so I am ahead of schedule with that for a change. Nothing in the suitcases yet (I don't want things getting wrinkled) but there are piles of clothes in the living room and hangers over almost every door in the house so we are almost set with all the clothes being ready. Only one more "real" day of work tomorrow and then my meeting and computer training on Thursday. I am sooooo glad I have off on Wed.!!

I could really use some WARM SUNSHINE :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

Cheryl
 
Had a good news / bad news visit to the Orthopedic surgeon today.

Good news: Allison got the casts off both her arms!!!:bounce: :Pinkbounc :tongue:

Bad news: Her surgically repaired fracture in her right arm displaced itself again:sad2: Bone has started to grow and reform, so the surgeon has decided to wait and see how it looks after another 6 weeks. The only other option is to go into surgery again, break the arm and reset it. He feels there is a good chance it will heal itself in a way that doesn't have any side effects and if it doesn't we can fix it later. She has a splint to wear all the time, but it is removable for showers...and a short trip into the water at the beach :hyper:

The kids still don't know about the cruise, but we will have to break it to them at 4:30am on Friday when the van comes to take us to the airport. Thought of all kinds of stories we could use to "fake" a trip, but as soon as they see an airplane headed to Florida the jig will be up!

Can't wait for the deck 10 sailaway...we'll be the one's with the big grins, foofy drinks and 4 kids (one with a big ugly black splint):wave2:
 
Wow that is great news that Allison got her casts off! :Pinkbounc

If the kids don't know until Friday morning, they will be pumped! Where are yall staying the night before?

My ds12 is thrilled that we moved their room--the first thing he said was "Wow, it is right up the stairs from the Lab!". They cannot wait to go. My MIL was excited the room was right around the corner from the elevators. I feel like we have a secret room (it is near the famous "Barb and Tony Suite", so I got to see it on her site --there it is, two windows over :teeth: )

Cheryl, last cruise I had those docs filled out as soon as I got them, and for some reason this trip I looked at them and decided to fill them out on the plane! In some ways I am much more relaxed about this trip, and in some ways more stressed (ie the tux situation) DS16 has his clothes laid out, so we are almost done there, just need to pack ds12 tonight and DH thursday night.

DS16 still needs to make our door signs, We just found out that the teacher that was going to make him take a test on Friday (so he was going to have to fly out seperate from us) is letting him take his test after school on Thursday, so we are all flying out together::yes::

Only three more days of school for the kids:tongue:
 
Wow...you all must be so incredibly excited to be leaving for Port Canaveral THIS WEEK!!!


I have to say, though...it's probably best that EB and I are not coming with you all. I'm not sure that the combination of being at sea, the rocking of the boat and my unpredictable nausea and sickness would be a good combination.

I am so thrilled for you all, though. You are really going to have a phenomenal time. How could you not? This is a phenomenal group of Turkey Day Cruisers!
 
Looks like port is partly cloudy and 81 degrees for our "sailaway"!!!!! 83 degrees and a 20% chance of rain now at CC. 87 degrees for cozumel on Tuesday!!!!!!!! Ron

Hello fellow cruisers. I haven't posted much since we won the document race but rest assured I lurk almost daily.

When do your kids plan on trying the lab? My DD9 and DD11 didn't really enjoy the lab on our last cruise but I'm hoping they might make friends early on this cruise and enjoy the lab more. I plan on bringing them to the Dis Meet on deck 10 during sailaway and hope they'll meet some other Dis kids.

I haven't posted on the "official" site but we are on deck 7, early dining, CC (parasailing and banana boats), Cozumel (Fury Catamaran through DCL), Grand Cayman (Shipwreck Snorkel through DCL), second CC (no reservations).

We plan to arrive at PC around 10:15 am. We were the very first car into the terminal on our last cruise. We'll all be wearing Disney t-shirts (non-matching) and we're all blond (mine is enhanced). I was thinking of going to Home Depot and getting a lime green Mickey to wear on my shirt. Look for us if you plan to arrive early.

Sherry
 
I picked up my Home Depot green mickeys for our luggage.

WMILLER,
sorry about the Eagles win over Dallas...NOT!
 
Is this the Paint Chip Colors?

MY DD13 has her room painted Green, Orange, and Purple
She would like to attend a 70's dance, i think!
