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

I just called The Perfect Gift to order a basket and tree for the room. It is not too late if there are other procrastinators out there.

They said Shirley had called about 30 minutes before, and was having a good time of the Podcast cruise.
 
wow! I can't keep up! Of course I forgot to quote anything so will probably miss something lol
That Youtube video was fabulous:thumbsup2 I will make the change to the FE list.

Also will have a list of changes available at cabin# 2124. Please let me know of any upgrades made at port asap so I can get you on the list:)

In other news, still working on fe gifts, shirts, magnets and packing...ok haven't even started packing:scared1: Still tring to wrap up some Christmas gifts and get some last minute work done.

Can't believe the snow some of you are getting...probably shouldn't mention that I worked outside yesterday since it was so nice out. (73degrees) OK better get back to it or I will never have all this done in time!
 
That's too bad it was so cold for MVMCP. When you are cold like that it just takes away some of the fun. Glad to hear they refunded your tickets for the dessert party.

BBB and lunch with the princesses - what a fun day! How are you guys liking SSR?

We like SSR. It's definitely big and I must say I don't like the system they have at the counter service restaurant - they share the cashiers with the gift shop, so I ended up standing there with 5 beverages waiting for two cashiers to wrap mugs in bubble wrap for two different customers! While my food got cold back at the counter.

The bus transport is good, we've never had to wait more than 15 or 20 minutes for a bus. It's just so big though, that you have to ride around to three other bus stops before you get to yours.

The rooms are spacious and comfy and staff pleasant. We'd definitely stay here again, although I really want to try Bay Lake Towers sometime.

Thanks, Steve! So many people have been saying they can't remember the last time they saw this much snow in TN (6"). It is just pretty to me, not terrifying.

Now thinking maybe sit down Wolfgang Pucks as we are staying in Downtown Disney. Hmmmmmm.

Kind of funny, when we flew down in Feb earlier this year school was out the whole week and we could have left earlier than we did ...

We ate at Pucks last night - very yummy. Couldn't fit dessert though - that will have to wait until next time! At this rate, I'm not going to be able to eat anything on the cruise - none of my clothes will fit!!!

It was SO cold in WDW yesterday. It seriously felt colder than back home because of that wind :cold:

We're off to Epcot today. :goodvibes

We've ridden pretty much everything in MK now (wooo, all walk-ons!!) except for Aladdin's Carpets. I know it exists but we seem to have failed to even walk past it once, so we'll go hunt that down at MVMCP on Thursday.

Hope everyone has safe travels and stress free packing :hug:

See ya real soon!

We must have passed you today. We were all over Epcot this morning. Resting now and then heading back for dinner in Japan and the candlelight processional. The girls lOOOOOve Soarin' and Test Track. They weren't thrilled with Mission Space, but DH liked it. I didn't go because Grace wasn't tall enough, so we rode Nemo a couple times and went to Turtle Talk with Crush - VERY CUTE! Then we rode Spaceship Earth and Ellen's Energy thing. Both nice and informative for the kids - although I think they need to update Ellen. She uses a 1990 cell phone - remember those bricks with the retractable antennae? We got some fast passes to ride Test Track and Soarin' again between dinner and processional.

I couldn't believe the temperatures this morning - the wind chill was 19 degrees!!!!! :scared1: We had layer upon layer - tights, leggings, jeans, undershirt, t-shirt, long-sleeved shirt, sweatshirt/sweater, fleece, and windbreaker!!! Then hats, scarves, & gloves! But we had a good time this morning! As we were leaving, they wind seemed to be kicking up a bit - I hope it doesn't get too bad for this evening. We are packing some fleece blankets in just in case as well.

We'll be at MK on Thursday morning, but DH is taking me to Victoria & Albert's for dinner. Take the first left off the main drag, by the hot dog restaurant. Keep walking straight over the footbridge. You'll pass the dole-whips stand (I so want to try one of those, but it's WAAAY too cold!), the Robinson treehouse, and keep going straight. You'll walk right into the spitting camel at the carpet ride. He wasn't spitting the other day, I think it was too cold. Jungle cruise is also over there so you might try to ride that one too!:thumbsup2

Oh and Aaron can't find his camera cord - so no photos.:sad2: Hopefully, he won't max out his two 8gb memory cards....:headache:
 

Yeah!!!!:banana::cool1::cheer2:

We finally got an answer on our DIS Meet location from DCL

DIS MEET
Dec 19th 2-3pm
Studio Sea


I will post a magnet on my door (8048) with the location just in case anyone forgets and for those who are already on vacation and can't get on the DIS Boards.

DCL only has it for an hour but I'm am sure we can stay longer if we want or we can move to a different location after an hour.
 
Yeah!!!!:banana::cool1::cheer2:

The restaurant is one of my pet peeves at SSR. I complain about it everytime we stay there. It has gotten a little better in the last year or two but is still very poorly organized.(Especially for Disney)

What kind of camera does Aaron have? I have several different cords too and might have one that works.
 
It's a USB cord, but he says he doesn't know exactly what kind to tell anyone - he "needs to see it." :confused3

We will be carrying a laptop that can read SD cards directly, 3 different types of USB cables, along with an external hard drive and can help out if you need to transfer pictures off of the cards during the cruise.

Starting the drive down to Florida in less than 48 hours :banana::banana::banana:
 
Cheers! And oh by the way, what exactly is the freezing temperature of alcohol?

From About.Com:

The exact freezing point of vodka, gin, tequila, rum, whiskey and the myriad of liqueurs is dependent on its proof, or alcohol per volume. The lower the proof, the warmer the freezing point: the higher the proof, the colder the freezing point.

For example:

24 proof liquor freezes at -6.7°C (20°F)
64 proof liquor freezes at -23.33°C (-10°F)
84 proof liquor freezes at -34.44°C (-30°F)
 
Where is Studio Sea on the ship? I will need to run from the group to go to tea at Palo's. If I can make the meet I will get to see a lot of you at the wine tasting on the 20th.
 
Should be packing, but hanging around here instead, not very productive!

Think I overdid my Christmas FE's, decorations and DS' stocking gifts, not sure if there is much room for clothes. If you see a family that looks like they are wearing 11 days worth of clothing, that'll be us!!

It is on deck 4 right above Luminere's. I will probably be there a little early for those who have High Tea and want to stop by.
 
Has anyone heard anything from Melanie? I have been thinking about her all afternoon.
 
Jennifer,

I had my DD9 try on her summer clothes last night and some of them are a bit snug, but no where to buy summer items in the northwest right now. My BOTP shirt has not arrived either. I am a bit stresses about that since we leave tomorrow morning! We will have to find something clever to wear if they don't arrive in time.

I hope you got your stuff in time! Mine finally came today and thank goodness it all fits! See you on Saturday :banana:
 
It is literally freezing here in South Florida. Woke up this morning to 29 degrees, frost on my lawn and a wind chill in the teens. My DW says it reminds her of our summer mornings when we lived in Park City, UT. :rotfl2: We only lasted 18 months there (we got 9 feet of snow between our only Xmas and New Years there).

For the first time ever, we will be wearing matching shirts on Christmas morning which we will definitely want to capture in a family photo. It is actually kind of fun seeing how much the older kids are getting into it. Meanwhile our 7 year old has no idea despite pile of clothes and luggage everywhere.

This was my sons car. :scared1: This is pure insanity for So Florida. Thank God for the sunshine!

I am in total panic mode. I tried packing today. I had the big suitcase out and thought that my husband and I could share. OMG! I barely was able to fit my clothes. I didn't even pack shoes yet:sad2: This is going to be hard!
