Well, time to shut off the laptop and read HP. We are now on book 4, Goblet of Fire, and have watched the first 3 movies too.

Night folks.

Vaguely seem to remember hearing something on the news this week that the last book will be made into 2 movies because it is so long/complex.

Sounds good maybe we meet for a snack or something and we all only speak spanish. DD is 5 1/2 and has the basics down. I think she would really do well when others her age speak spanish as well. What happened with the Mexican Mouse Ears/Mouseketers? Their dis name escapes me but i thought they were joining us on this trip. Does anyone know?

Julie is her name and her daughter is Estrella. I think they are still cruising, most likely just caught up in life.

That's great idea to have a spanish snack chat date

That's what we're planning to do to get to Manchester.

But be aware, what sometimes looks like cheap price isn't the full story. Most companies sneak in a one-way drop off charge of about £30, but it doesn't show up in the price quoted. It's hidden in the FAQs or T&Cs.

Thanks Mary. I will have a look at the FAQ's.

Julie,(Mexicanmousketeer) was around at reservation booking time, so I am presuming they are still with us. I think her little girl only speaks Spanish.

With all this talk of 10 Forward (Gee I wonder if we'll meet Whoopi?) and the mean and pushy people that can occur there, it got me to thinking.

There are an awful lot of us as a "group". We could "intimidate" a few others quite easily. If we all organize ourselves, I'm sure we could all be quite accomodating for each other quite easily.

"Ok kids in the front and arrnged from shortest to tallest." I'm 6' and I don't mind standing behind someone shorter, but usually my concern is watching out for my kids - they are both quite shy and won't stand up for themselves and will not speak up when someone invades their space or pushes them out of the way. So that is why I usually try and make myself bigger than normal.

But if we were to get together and put some sort of organization in place .... well we could control 10 Forward! LOL

wow 6ft tall, I hope you don't mind I stand behind you because I am 5 ft small, Only Joking

Anyway, I ordered a new camera from Amizon.com, it called Canon Ixus 70 - Silver as I need something to carry it everyday. I hope it is a good camera

My husband have good camera Canon similar what you show the picture of new camera.

Props to you Lisa!!You are doing an awesome job with sorting the list. You have a couple DOD comin' to you from Bubba and I. Thanks for all your Hard work.

Thanks Venetia, as of late, it's been a bit overwhelming but that's OK, I'm happy to do it!!

Just thought I'd share a few pics from last night with my new camera.

My DD6. A few weeks ago this shot would have been impossible as the snow bank would have been taller than her.

We were having a light dusting of snow, so the girls were trying to catch a few. And yes you can see my lawn starting to show as the snow retreats.

I popped the flash on and really liked how it captured the individual snowflakes (especially those around her cheeks)

I think the girls were happy to see grass instead of snow. They even pulled out their running shoes to play outside.

Not sure if it will come out in this reduced size pic, but on the original sized pic you can see the individual snowflakes caught in her hair.

And no the snow didn't last. It pretty much melted as soon as it hit the ground. However, I woke up this morning to 10*F weather (that's -12*C) and it doesn't look like it is going to get any warmer! It looks beautiful outside - bright blue sky lots of sunshine - just a little cold. Guess not much snow will be melting today ....

lovley girls , still have snowing!!

How about "THANKS FOR THE LIFT ! "

Doug

SO the eastbound cruisers would have a sign that says "THANKS FOR THE DOWNER?"

Cute girls! Love the pixs.

We are going to make a sign and hang it over our railing when we are going through the canal. We still haven't completely decided what to say on it.

Welcome lifeboaters! That's a suggestion.

 

[granmaz]

Welcome lifeboaters! That's a suggestion.

We can have our own banner around our lifeboats! 'Get me out of here'!!!

Another thought..."LOW ON PIXIE DUST, NEED A LIFT.."

The changes won't stay up the entire time (have to make room for new announcements). They will stay up for 2 or 3 days, so make a note in your mini-navigator of the changes during that time frame. It's is unlikely that we will have changes after the first day. If there is a change later due to something unexpected, that will of course stay up longer.

But what if our gifting day is at the end of the cruise? I guess we need to go deck to deck in the first few days then and read the white boards and take notes to use later on when it is our gifting days.

Hi guys, I'm just back from our DL Dismeet at DTD, I forgot my camera so I won't be posting pics. But everyone else took lots of pics. It was a very, very nice group of 19 people who drove from all over the place to get to the meet. Most drove for 1.5 - 2 + hours to get there, so we really appreciated their effort to make it. Most of had nice food - Bubba will post pics. We ended up with nice sunny (slightly breezy & chilly) weather instead of the expected 54 degrees and potential rain. Everyone else was headed into the parks and other destinations, I'm home with the sick family for movie day.... picked up some kettle corn from DTD for movie day. It was a pleasure to meet everyone and we are looking forward to our next meet in April. Thanks for coming everyone!

I like your thinking!

 

[gydell]

I like your thinking!

What about some crime scene tape and we can just take as much area as we want.

 

[Making_Memories]

nope, I think we just got screwed like you at WDW. It's not normal to prepay unless a good discount is involved for a hotel in the US.

You know my first thoughts were well whats in it for me? I never prepay unless it gives me a discount then they can have the cash early.

 

[Making_Memories]

We could get some printed DIS SCENE do not cross. Something along those lines.
