Ooohhh, you know that Emily is going to be THRILLED that her friend Emma will get to go with her in the 5-7 group!!! And, Madison and Julia will have fun in the other group.I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say if there's a choice between Emily and Julia---Emily is gonna win and Emma will be with the 5-7 year olds.
We love the idea of little stockings, etc. for the kids or secret santas. I love that stuff. I also have a celebration for the cruise. My actual birthday is Dec. 29, so we'll be getting off two days before, but we have to celebrate on board! I did not like having a "Christmas" b-day either...I finally taught my mom that I was NOT to have xmas wrapping paper on my b-day gift. Everyone still laughs about that! The whole "combo" gift didn't go over well either. Anyway, we are getting so excited about the cruise. Last week I kept telling everyone that in one year, we'll be on the Disney cruise!
.
. I can't wait to start collecting little gifts to place in them!
and I happen to have a sewing machine that does professional quality embroidery. So, if anyone is interested, I can work on a pattern and make personalized fish extenders for all of us. I'd have to charge a little bit for them since all the supplies can add up. I know others have mentioned making them as well, we could always work together if you'd like. Let me know what you think.
). Today is the day of the Three Kings or El Dia De Los Tres Magos/El Dia De Los Reyes, depending on who you are talking to. It is, to some, more important than Christmas . I personally love all the great food and celebration that goes along with today's festivities, but I have yet to be the lucky one to bite into the little plastic baby that is hidden in the cake (anyone who is familiar with the day of the Three Kings knows what tradition I am taking about
).
. Last cruise we got our tickets through DCL, but we weren't happy with the prices and/or the times we had to leave/arrive on either day, so we are going to try doing it ourselves this time. I hope it works out okay and we don't regret just making it a part of our package.
. I think Rick said we can start pricing the tickets at the end of January. Time seems to be moving so slow right now, but I remember feeling the same way last year and then boom, it was here!
My husband's family is from San Antonio, so we know about 3 Kings Day. Plus, I grew up outside of Chicago, where there's a huge hispanic population.Hello everyone!! I hope everyone is doing well and is having a great weekend!
Since it is January 6th and I live in the VERY south of Texas (only 10 minutes from the border) the majority of the population in the valley in Spanish speaking only Hispanics (don't worry, even though I am a 100% Irish bred, red-headed white girl, I am also 100% bilingual and find the Hispanic culture fascinating
Did everyone purchase their airline tickets through DCL, or are some of you finding your tickets on your own
Hope to talk to everyone soon!

It's only a 2.5 hr drive over to the other coast of Florida. But, we'll actually head over to WDW on the Friday night before (12/19) and then get up on Sat morning and head over to the port. Then, it's only an hour drive, and I don't have to worry about the girls asking "are we there yet???".
. Do you go to WDW a lot? I bet your girls just LOVE it!! . I went to a Greek wedding years ago and it was beautiful!
But I have to admit, that has been my one and only exposure to any Greek culture, because I wasn't able to go to the reception (I had to work that night
).
We usually head to WDW about once every 4-6 weeks. Sometimes it's just for the day, sometimes for the weekend. It really just depends on our schedule. Thankfully, we live close enough to enjoy it a lot. But, our families think that we're odd, because we're such huge Disney fans. Most of them live here too, they just don't enjoy Disney like we do.You are sooo lucky Amy! I would love to be able to live that close to
WDW and/or the port
No baby in my cake yet. We don't get to celebrate 3 Kings as much down here, since it's more of a cuban population (but I do LOVE cuban food).Have you ever been luck enough to get the plastic baby in your cake? Is Greek food as fantastic as Mexican food? Really, the only other kind of food you can find down here is Chinese and I don't have a taste for it, so it's pretty much Mexican food or American food, and lucky us we love them both
(You name the look, we've seen it
). We've just come to accept it, they've come to accept our obsession with Disney and life goes on
. 
to meet your girls (they are both adorable, they look a lot alike. Do they get along?). She will be 4 at cruising time (her BD is May 26th) and she loves to play with kids her age. The last cruise she stayed with us and I felt she missed out on a lot. I am hoping for a lot more activity for her this time around!
