You all are crazy...i'm starting to wonder who I am cruising with???? BUT, I do have a wig from halloween, black and purple....maybe I'll join the fun if I don't "wig" out on you first..hahahahahahaha

 

[gaylean93]

Oh are we gonna do the kids up too? If you are yours I better get mine something or the Diva in Training will be mad at me

This reminds me, I have been meaning to ask you guys, would the little girls wear a Jasmine costume? It isn't a dress. I bought her a Giselle costume but I read that sometimes they bring more than one. She already has Jasmine and the shoes and everything to go with it so that means more DOD for mom!

 

[ibouncetoo]

ok, that bums me out. I was so looking forward to this. Guess I should wait for video?

Yep, save your $$ and rent it.

I am calling the night

The Dis Chicks Wig Out

You can wear a wig of any color as long as it is not a natural color! Lime green dress optional this is all about wigs for me

So Lisa do you wanna wig out with us one night. Why should the kids get all the fun. We are gonna wig out together. I bought one for a wig out dinner and then a pink one for the Champagne Girls party!

Oh my! I've ALWAYS wanted to wear a wig...but like a real one, one that noone can tell it is a wig. Now listen, is this one of those things that a bunch of sisters from another mother are pulling our legs and we all show up looking like Britney Spears and you all are laughing???? If not, I'm ALL over this, but I have to hide the wig from DH. He will serious think I've lost it and will ban me from getting on the boards!

[MrsMork]

We agree! We usually stop for Chick Fil-a on our way home instead of having dinner in the park.

But we close the park, so that would be a really late dinner.

My DH thinks it's hot!

We typically open the park and leave around 5 - 6. If we stay later we spend the night (then we skip chick fil-a)

 

[taysmom]

sounds like a plan!

Ok, I want to get try Sonic, at least a slushy drink, if I can make it over there, how easy is it to get a taxi at one of the DL hotels and how much should a 3 mile ride be in later night traffic?

[ibouncetoo]

loved the book, I ate it whole. So I think I would be disappointed too.

Yep, I may wait too. Because I'm so deeply involved with these people right now - almost at the half way point. Is the movie narrated in first person like the book?

I think there was narration (if I am remembering correctly it is Mary), it was several week ago now, Jackie?

PJ

Nope, the movie wasn't narrated. Have you gals read her other books? If you haven't read "The Constant Princess" about Catherine (that preceedes "The Other Boleyn Girl"), it is really good. In this movie, in just the few scenes she (Catherine) is in, you can even get a feel for what an incredible woman she was. And, of course, the sequels "The Boleyn Inheritance", "The Queen's Fool" and "The Virgin's Lover" are great tool

Also . . . some info that I think Lisa (Disneylover) may have posted before.

I called Verizon today about cell phone voice and data while on the cruise. There are some things you need to do if you want to be able to call when out of the country.

I have a Blackberry Pearl 8130.

For Verizon, these are the per minute charges where we are going:

DCL- Flat 2.49 per minute charge while ship is at sea

Aruba - 1.29 per minute

Panama - 1.49 per minute

Mexico - .99 per minute

For any of this, you have to enable international calling on the firmware of your phone. You call Verizon, and ask for it, then you have to do a firmware upgrade by dialing the firmware upgrade number that I wrote down at the office. There is no charge to enable this. He told me that there are no additional charges beyond the per minute charges I listed above.

You are only charged for actual airtime - no charge when you are called and the phone rings. You do get charged per minute when checking voicemail.

As to the data - the 8130 (Pearl) is not a World phone, so no Blackberry coverage outside of the US. There are Blackberries that have this, and there is a per minute or per day charge you can opt for.

Guess I will use the laptop for email.

John....THANK YOU! It is so great to see it all written out so clearly. I spent many hours with Verizon to get a simple .99 per minute in mexico answer and I was wondering how long it would take to get the rest of the info....but you did it for me!!!!

 

[fourmcds]

Hey Kaylee, if all of us on the list are okay at the adjusted price them how about we just enjoy the extra room? That way the kiddos can move around a bit on the ride. What do you think?

Nan...I think that is fine and would be even better....I just wanted to make sure everyone was ok with the increase in price. Guess I had better get over to the PM side of the boards and check with everyone individually and we can go from there!

Pj

It is worth it for the slushy but we got lost going over there. The cab driver will probably now how to get there though. Food is alright, normal burger joint. Get the strawberry slushy, it is so good!

Strawberry is where I would head, lol.

It is like a regular slushy but then they put the strawberry sundae topping inside it. A little chunky but so good.

A local will have to tell us if there is a Sonic nearby. I've never seen one on our travels there.

I love Bengal BBQ! It's our favorite. We will be sure to get some this weekend along with the tigers tail!

Is it open again?? Last I heard it was closed down. We loved the bacon wrapped asaparagus!

Yummm...LOVE the bacon wrapped asparagus!

Green toes? Not as crazy but definately a sign of a DISer!

Molly and I have been planning that since our last pedicure. We are getting green toes (yes, OPI) and mickey head in black.

I own this green OPI color. I was thinking of my "Flashbulb Fuscia" toes with a lime green Mickey head....to match my Crocs!
