Magic Christmas Cruise 2010 (Dec 18th - 29th) **** PART III ****

[colkath2005]

Colkath- if I figure this out, I would be happy to order you one and bring it down for you. It would be a plain white t-shirt. What size would you want? pm me if interested.

Thanks for the offer but the kids got very excited about designing one at downtown disney, so I will stick with that now. Really kind though.

What a stressful year. A vacation where no one can find you will be really good for your family!

I couldn't agree more! thanks!

Just in case you want to do some more shopping...
I noticed that DCL added some new stateroom gifts, probably just in time for the arrival of the Dream in Jan. So, if you havn't seen the new items~ go check it out!


3 more weeks!!!

Thanks for the tip re: new cruise gifts....I went to check and there is a Minnie package that includes a purse, wallet and ball cap for $18!!! It is item #2107....the website says it is $21 but the lady told me it is coming up on her system as $18. Great deal if you ask me!

I vote that each of us that knows how to- makes one (or more) magnets for Lissa's door. Anyone else? It's the least that we can do to repay her service!
Let us help with this little thing Lissa! If you get duplicates, you can share them with others! Your time back home should be with your fabulous dfam-not making or finding magnets.

I ran to the mailbox and back today! DH says might be 1/4 mile. First workout in 2 years for the big 5k!

Saw HP last night...LOVED IT!

Tonight we will decorate Disney Christmas Tree for home. Have pulled out about a dozen decorations-that's it. Found Christmas stockings to bring with us. Tonight will finish as many FE's as possible. I am hoping to send a Disney box early next week.

mdargen- I stopped watching the game in the middle of the third quarter. My blood pressure was sky high. I am thinking about trying out as kicker for Michigan next year. I graduated with a PhD from there, but did not exhaust my athletic eligibility! Although I didn't see the final score, I assume that congrats is in order...for this year.

I think I have a magnet that could turn up on her door!

Haven't had time to post in a long time. Many posts to catch up on!
We are from Fort Worth Texas.
I am late 40's, a registered nurse working in a Childrens Hospital ER. Love to travel, this is our 3rd Disney. Went on the Med cruise in June 2007.
DH is a airline mechanic with American Airlines. Just realized this is our 12th cruise, guess we really are hooked!
DD 17 is a early HS graduate, started Junior college this year.
DS 16 is our exchange student from Denmark. He is very funny and talkative. His first cruise and first time in th Caribbean.
DS 15 is a freshman in HS and excited to cruise again, though I think not so sure about being over Christmas.
Not sure when we will arrive to Florida. Fly standby so have to go when and where the seats are. Would love to be in Cape Canaveral for the shuttle launch.
I got 2 Disers DOTD shirts. Was quite disappointed that I chose blue, as the design didn't show up so well.
Looking forward to meeting everyone!

We are going to Epcot tomorrow! Can't wait to see all the holiday decorations, and the Candlelight Processional. Will miss a full schedule of NFL games though ...I wonder if they will be broadcasting them anywhere in Epcot?

I was hoping someone who is familiar with the Orlando area could help me. nights. Are there shuttle services that can pick us up at MCO that late and take us to Port Canaveral, or would it be better just to stay the 1st night in a hotel by the airport and get a rental car or shuttle the next day???

We always use ace luxury transportation. Not sure on the time, but check them out.

We are doing MVMCP and we got Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress for the 16th and 17th for 65.00 a night.

The reviews look good! We are driving down from Brampton - It looks like you guys are flying.

We are staying there as well. We have stayed there before, they should be done with the noisy construction from 2 years ago. We now have a double reservation at CI&S for the 17, depending on the launch.

CI&S has the room where they serve breakfast. I would assume it is open in the evening, but I am not sure.

I hit the Disney Store this Black Friday and the Disney Outlet today. I found some decent deals.

MAGNET:
Ok, I always forget names when I am replying if I do not quote....I'd be happy to print a magnet for you while you are in Iraq. It's the least I could do! PM me your cabin and names you'd like. You must have decent internet where you are. That is awesome on the spa days!

First of all thank you for serving our country. I am very grateful for everything you do for our country to keep it safe for my family. I would like to make a few magnets for your door. Do you have any special requests? Please let me know and they will be made and delivered to your stateroom.

As I was sitting here typing up a French phrase cheat-sheet for all of us I needed to Google the spelling of a certain word and I found this -

This is awesome! We can fold it up to fit into a wallet or handbag.

I'm still working on the map. Hopefully it will be done tonight.

Agnes and I are working on some magnets too. We are coloring some Disney coloring book pages, mod-podgeing them, and then glueing magnets on the back. They look super cute.

Question about the Villains Tonight show- Do the Villains stick around so the kids can meet them? The thought of Agnes getting to meet Malecifent makes me so happy.

Mdargen, je vous remercie beaucoup pour la feuille de langue française. Il est parfait.

Watch out Martinique, here I come with my two years of high school french from 28 years ago!!

Wanted to mention a shopping find. I was at Micheals to pick up a couple things since I had a 50% off coupon. I wanted one of the rhinestone pirate iron ons and maybe a couple of the tshirts they had for 2/$5. Well funny, but they had tuxedo shirts at the end of the tshirt aisle. I was shocked and had to keep picking them up and looking at them. I couldn't wrap my head around a craft store having mens tuxedo shirts. It was like it was put there just for me.

Anyway I was able to use the 50% off coupon and get it for $9 and it included the black bow tie. My husband tried it on but the sleeves weren't long enough for him because he's tall but it fit my son great! So if anyone needs a cheap tux shirt (no cufflinks needed), I would head over to Michaels with one of the 40 or 50% coupons they have in their ads.

Hey All! We are back on the road again! We should be home sometime tomorrow afternoon. Britt made it back to Virginia safe and sound. 3 more weeks til I get to see her again.

Sarah - sorry to hear your weather really stinks. Not looking forward to the snow or cold but I know it is coming. Stay warm and safe! That's awesome you were able to get launch tickets hopefully everything will work out and you guys will get to see a launch.

Tracey - I think the final plan for the walking groups was to have different meeting times of 7, 8, or 9. This way people can go to whichever one works for them. I don't know if we determined a meeting place but I did suggest deck 4 just outside the doors located next to Animator's Palate.

Rick & Lori - what an exciting Thanksgiving - one you won't forget anytime soon. Glad everything worked out okay.

Jennifer - what a stressful year you have had. You deserve to relax on a cruise.

Liz - glad to hear you guys are joining us at the Hyatt. I figure if the launch goes off we can all go outside to the pool deck to watch it.

Melissa - I will gladly make some magnets for you. We thank you so much for your service and making a few magnets is no big deal. Your door might look a little like my parents though.

Michelle - thanks for the French phrase sheet that is so cool. I am going to have DD take it to her French teacher and make sure we are pronouncing things correctly.

 

[mickeyteachers]

I love the idea of the pirate shirt. I will be getting the iron on for my families shirts.
I have printed out the french sheet. I do not think I will be able to use it but I will give it to my husband and mom.
I purchased all of the birthday items today for the tables for my moms birthday. I hope all of my table mates do not mind. I even got my mom a tshirt to wear during the day. This should be fun for her 77th birthday.

I wanted to throw out another possible DIS event. You don't have to sign up for this but whoever decides to go, maybe we can all sit together.

On the last night of the cruise the crew puts on a show called Pub Night. I believe it is held in Rockin Bar D at about 10:30pm. It is a great show if you have not seen it. We went for the first time several cruises ago and now it is a must do for our family. I know there are some who have little ones and won't be able to attend but it might work for those that have older kids or kids that might stay in the clubs. I also know it is the last night of the cruise which is a hetic night but believe me, you won't regret it.

If anyone knows for sure that they will be going let me know and maybe we can plan to have a few people get there early and save seats.

This will be our 9th cruise, and we've only made it to Pub Night once, but SO worth it!!! Very cute! Just takes a little planning ahead!

 

[mickeyteachers]

I always seem to be packing that night. I am so slow at packing everything. Maybe this year I will get my packing done early and then we can go.

 

[mickeyteachers]

This is what my t-shirt is suppose to look like that I ordered last night. I am really nervous. I hope they turn out ok.

Would love to join you - we never seem to be able to be packed and ready to get off the ship though and spend the last night frantically trying to cram everything into suitcases before final baggage call!!!!

Will join you if I can be more organized this time around....
