Thank! Would it help if more of us send in requests to Palos for group dining to cover all days? Sorry if this has already been explained many times...I've missed so many pages that sometimes I get a bit behind with things. Thanks! Lisa

Check out the dinning page on the website, there is more information on sending requests there.

that looks really nice. how far is it from the ship. I'm thinking we might be finding our Xmas holiday spot while visiting in May....

Whatever happened to our 1st thread? I thought we were going to get some of it back.

Love all the dresses!! Boy, I want to go shopping seeing everyone's nice stuff. How many dresses is everyone bringing?? Will anyone wear a dress every night except Pirate night??

Makes a lot of sense...probably just that. Lisa

I might wear a dress each night just depends on what I can find! The two plain ones I bought in blue and brown I have ordered in black now as well. They pack well and will be comfy for the "cruise casual" dress code. I think I will have about a weeks worth of "casual" dresses.

I was just wondering. Does anyone have an idea where I can get info on the wine packages Disney offers on the cruises? I understand the canal cruise will be different as far as cost but I'm just trying to get an idea of what they offer and a general price range.

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

Here's some info I found on wine packages. It's for the 7 night, so it might give you a yardstick (or metre/meter stick for our metric friends) for the 15 night.

Marr-love the dresses! You can do so much with them!!!

Thanks! I figured they would work well since I can change jewelry and dress it up or down for a little different look. The material seems good too for packing.

 

[Making_Memories]

I don't think the dress looks like "cow" dress at all. It's darling.

Thanks again!

Ian - do you know if you just pick the wines you want, or do they chose for you? I would assume we get to pick, but you never know. Also, do you think if you just want 1 type of wine that you can just get all your bottles the same??

The Disney photo of the day thread came back this week, it has seven parts of 250 pages now, we were bigger then that, I think they are working from small long thread to big long threads.

Thanks for all the comments on my room and mickey. My mom just built a scrapbook room onto her house and it is huge. So I noramally scrap there too. I don't have time to scrap either but I do that instead of house work.

That made me LOL for real! Your room looked great and I would love to have a room just to work on "stuff" I have so much going on for now it will have to wait though.

 

[Making_Memories]

hee hee, I think you met the crazy Gabby Girls!!!(i think I like that better than triplettes) We are friends because we all talk without abandon...and alot

Seriously, I'm so glad that have connected. It's so much fun to share all this excitement before hand with people who really care about it and just think of the smiles and laughs we are going to have on board....I can't wait

I agree and have to say OMG I am so excited!!!!!!

I tried to post another link with actual scans of the packages, but DIS blocked the link, so I substituted the one I did.

The wine packages are divided into "Classic" and "Premium." From what I can see, the wines are preset, though I have to admit, for both the selection looks to be very nice.

 

[Making_Memories]

Awww... so sweet. I was telling my coworker/disney freak friend how much fun I had with you all too, and how much more excited I was about this cruise. If I could get anymore excited!

I really do feel lucky to have connected with others on this cruise who are so nice and live close enough to visit even!

Good to know. I will run down to macys/walmart/target and see if I can find something today

I love all the foot petals products. the full shoe one makes really painful shoes better. You know the ones that look cute but kill your feet.

OMG...I have a very similiar black dress..we will have to coordinate so to not be twins at dinner!

OH NO I ordered a black one after getting the other two in the mail.

You know, I have been struggling to lose weight for months, I finally go into a good work out routine and 3 weeks in my calfs hurt so bad, I couldn't walk. The PE teacher at school (my go to answer girl for all things excercise related) suggested that I eat some bananas. Potassium. Well, I did and guess what...I did 3 miles today with no pain. I am totally down with the banana healing powers!

Hmm I need to start eating bananas then I think!

Can you email me the orig link you wanted to post? I'm trying to figure out if I want to order a package or just order wines as I need them. Do you know if they have the individual wine costs on there too?

Never mind....I found the wine list on that same website

MIL has decided that she is going to drink. Paul and I have decided that we are going to hunker down and protect our family. I'm so sad this is the way it is and I fear for the day I will write you that we will be planning a funeral. Paul and I are talking openly and I'm trying to keep a civil tongue in me. In years past I've been so angry and in turn mean and that doesn't help this at all. I'm worried about how to handle the daily interactions, which can be frequent or with long time in between (depends on her drinking) but for example, I've asked Paul not to mention Wil's party again to them in hopes that they will just blow it off (as they most likely will do) and then none of us have expectations of them being there. It's just easier without them around I'm beginning to think.

So sad it has to come to that but if it is best for the kids then it is the only option.

 

[Making_Memories]

we are watching the Last Mimsy....not sure what this is about.

My kids love that freaky movie.

Ian,

Thanks, I'll give it a look. I'm never sure which is better bringing your own and paying the cork charges or buying the package.


Thanks,

Mike

On the way home from the circus Brent said he thought it was time to tell dh about the cruise. He has kept this secret for over a year now. He said there were things he needed to explain to dh before we go. So tomorrow is the day!

Holly,

I know this will sound corny, but you have said you are having a lot of stress. When I feel overwhelmed I make a list of all that is stressful, big or small, insignificant or important. EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

Tackle just one thing, make it small. Then cross it off. It's a good feeling and a start.

It sounds like you have alot of financial concerns, ask around about free financial counseling. They may be able to help with the college loans, scholarship info and so on.

Thanks! That's actually a great idea because then it won't be all rattling around in my head at once. Financially, we were fine until all the medical bills. That got me behind in all areas. Tyler's dad has been paying for every psychologist visit though, so that took a huge load off of me. We're almost back on track though, so finances aren't a giant issue anymore. We don't have extra, but we're not behind on anything anymore. And if I can get a job with insurance, that will hopefully cover what his dad's insurance doesn't.
