I plan on reorganizing all my cruise info this morning. I have been printing out all sorts of info. The pile is getting to big. I had been keeping papers in a pocket folder but it is bulging. I can't believe I'll have to upgrade to a three ring binder.

On our last cruise we had a 3 ring binder with about 25 tabs and 2 pencil holders with all the stuff. When we got to the port our entire group compared their binders it was so huge. The amount of research was like a 3rd job. It was the only way for us to stay organized with a 32 day vacation. We were exhausted when we got on the ship.

I have a friend who swears by Tour Guide Mike. She wants to plan our precruise days at WDW for us. I can' imagine how much more paper that will add.:laughing:
 
I'm so happy you decided to do this.....I missed not having you on here as much. I know you didn't go away, but it just wasn't the same without you here all the time....meaning, I knew that you would be on every night and would find myself looking for your posts. When that went away I knew I would have to wait a day or so to see your next posts.....I know it's very selfish of me, but I just missed you. I'm so glad you're back to normal posting soon. YEA!
:rotfl: Well, it's great to be missed! :hug:

A quick check here this morning at work, but I've only managed to read one page. 40 pages to go! LOL! Most people would skim to catch up, but my DIS OCD won't allow that. :rotfl2: So I'll slowly plug away now and then, a few posts at a time whenever I have a chance. PRobably won't have much chance though today...looks like it will be very busy here at work. BUT when I'm re-hooked up at home on Thursday, that will be my evening entertainment for sure! I can't wait to catch up on everything! :yay:
 
YEA!!!! You're in the money......You're in the money......YEA!!! This means that you'll get to pay in full on time or early so that you can process all your excursions, spas, palos, etc., anything that you might be planning on doing. YEA!
Yup, I'll be paying ahead of time. :goodvibes I'll pay that day if I have time to shift the funds around to the account where they need to be to enable me to pay that day. But definitely by the following day for sure. :yay:
 

So, we went to DL yesterday and had a weird thing happen. We always try to park in Timon and walk (for the excercise and time that it saves.) When we got to the turn in the line was all the way back to Harbor BL. We thought it was a tour group, so we walked past them and got up to the security where only one was open. So, it was a back up to get through security (must have been an hour wait) Just as we walked up to the other security they opened it (we were just lucky.) We went in for a few of hours and hit the rides (hint: always go to the left adventureland first, it is always less crowded than going to the right to tomorrowland.) But when we left 3 hours later the lines to get into DL were backed up all the way across the quad and backed into the CAd lines :confused3 :confused3 There were also signs all over the road saying that crowds and traffic would be high next week. What's happening next week? Anyone know??? I'll call DL today to ask.
Have a great day everyone. :hippie:


They had those same signs up Friday and we were wondering what is happening too?
 
Well I have spent about 2 hours here catching up. Take care all see you tomorrow.:wave2:
 
Not doing the zip line then Angie?
Maybe next trip! :rolleyes:
morning! my throat is even worse today!

RE the Colts....was this inspiried by Dungy? I know what he did for the Bucs as far as being gentleman, when he was there.

Karen - love the pics!! Is that a spa villa?
About the Colts and them being such gentlemen.....Dennis and I got to spend a few days in Indianapolis a few years ago and we found absolutely EVERYONE in that town to be friendly, helpful and polite. :thumbsup2 A exec of some company walked Dennis from the mall to his office to give him a free battery for his cell phone. (the Verizon store in the mall did not have one and this man - gentleman! - overheard and offered to give him one free as he had one from his old phone in his desk!) Indianapolis is not a place that I had on my must visit list, but it was a place that we enjoyed as much as any we have visited thanks to the people we met. :grouphug:

Our oldest son is 37!!!:scared1: :faint:

Oh my1 Our DD just turned 39 in Dec. :sad2: How can that be???:confused3
 
Us too! We LOVE it!

We bring our Mickey gloves to wave at the CM's at the terminal as we pull away. I love waiting until we clear the channel and head out into the open ocean. Just thinking about it gives me chills!
We'll be right there waving with you! In fact, Tyler and I talked about this over the weekend. He spent most of the weekend saying, "Remember when....." about past cruises. :goodvibes I reminded him about waving with our Mickey gloves last year and he was SO GROUCHY, he wanted nothing to do with that and I have a picture of him in a lounge chair on deck 4 looking very unhappy with his glove. :rotfl: But he did ask if we could bring our gloves again to wave!
 
Where did we go wrong, weren't they supposed to be younger? :)

They were!!!:confused:

Looking forward to your being back here 'full' time!!:dance3:

Maybe next trip! :rolleyes:

Will probably be the only chance for me doing a zip line, but I think I have decided against it now.

My brain says I am far too young to have a child that age - in fact my brain is telling me I AM that age!!!!:lmao:
 
what a morning, been swamped but plowed through everything so I could get it off my desk, I know how much I hate waiting for info so I can finish my job, so when I have it due for others I try to get it finished as quickly as possible.


I took advil and it seems to ease the pain, I will try salt water tonight. It was pretty cold this am, as in too cold to swim. Hopefully it warms up tonight, I guess I could wear my big ole felt hat around to stay warm.
 
My mom went to MK yesterday and said it was deserted. They walked on pretty much everything. She went with my Stepdad and his 2 year old granddaughter.
 
I was really thinking about cancelling. Daniel told me to do whatever I thought was best.

With the final payment due soon, I thought long and hard today and I made a decision .... I am GOING.
Lisa, with how much stress you've been under, you DESPERATELY need this cruise to rest, recover, rejunivate, etc. I've been struggling with thoughts of cancelling for financial reasons for months, but decided that because of all the garbage Tyler's gone through and all the stress I've had in dealing with his issues, his dad & stepmom's stubbornness, and my financial issues, as well as school issues, I desperately need this as a stress reliever as well! RIGHT DECISION! :goodvibes
 
Since I received the Estee Lauder and Lancome "kits" for Christmas and since I have the cases they have come in for the past five or so years. So last night I decided to clean out all the cases and give one each to the girls with some makeup and brushes...I have many new blushes, since I don't use it, lots of funky color lipsticks and tons of makeup brushes and little mirrors, etc. WOW, I should have just wrapped them up for Xmas....they were so thrilled. I tried not to give them anything that would be too damaging, but watching them trying to put this stuff on is hilarious. Samantha knows fine, but Haley has an idea of where it is supposed to go so sometimes it doesn't end up in the right place!! But maybe this will keep them out of my makeup!

This sounds so adorable V.....if you can, I would love to see a picture of the girls playing with the makeup......I imagine they look so cute! It's fun to be a little girl!
 
WOW! There's almost 3000 pages to this trip thread. I was going to read through, see who's crusing, but... that's a lot of reading!!

This is my 3rd Disney cruise (06-1992 Big Red Boat, 05-06-2006 Magic Western). I'll be a stowaway (I'm divorced) on the Ship of Thieves, joining my parents and grandparents. I'm excited for the trip! We're on Deck 6 outside, don't know exactly what category. I'm pretty sure we're on early seating.

Sail on! Any other singles on this trip?

(and go Jags! LOL)
From one single (well, plus my DS5 traveling with me) to another, WELCOME! :goodvibes
 
I don't have a binder, but I do have an excel worksheet with about 12 tabs!! I keep my "stuff" in a purple plastic type folder which has a few pockets.
 
A BIG Welcome to all the "new to the group cruisers". :wave:

Jhalkias
Our daughters are 9 years apart and are the best of friends. Our oldest just turned 30 :scared1:.

Too bad our youngest DD(21) and your son aren't cruising, He's a cutie.
Katie.jpg

Yes, too bad. She is a cutie too! They would probably have a blast - he turns 21 in June - finished undergrad in 2 years in the Med school program he is in. Unfortunately, he cannot leave med school for 2 weeks. He is not tied down either. Broke up with his HS girlfriend 2 years ago or so, and would kill me if he knew about this conversation!
 
this morning has flown by, I sure hope the afternoon does as well. I am planning on jogging to the beach and back tonight since I forgot my gym bag!
How many days now?
