or a Deck Pass to get a DOD, wait a minute that might be a good idea for some of us, right???
Bummer I missed an ebay auction I was watching...It was an AG outfit for Molly for the cruise. Yes I'm an over planner who buys clothes for my children years in advance just in case I can't find the exact thing I want prior to my trip....Of course the hard part is guessing the sizes, that my friend is getting more and more difficult as they grown up. My 9 year old is hitting the size 12 in some things, while my 7 year old can still fit in some of his size 5's. What is a planning freak to do???
We are in the process of building the turtle tank for Crush, Wilson's turtle that we got him for his bday. What a process....we got him the mega block (like legos) Flying Dutchman to sink in her swimming area and as Wilson is building it today, he says "I'm not sure this will be good to go into her tank" "can it come in and out of the tank?" hmmmm me thinks he wants to play with the priate ship 'eh? I hope once it's all built he'll be ready to sink her as it really could turn out to be cool. Pictures to come as it gets sunk....(I hope)
Just wash the mega blocks really well (to eliminate Crush getting sick from new bacteria) before sinking into the tank and Crush will love to hang out on it! Remind Wilson to wash his hands also everytime he's done handling Crush or any of his posessions. Turtles can carry Salmanilla (spelled that wrong, sorry John) and it's under control as long as you wash. You have to remember that you don't want to give him your germs and you don't want his germs. I've had turtles for 12 years and I have never had any problems.
I had to get it...my little girl isn't little enough anymore and this was just so cute!I was figuring we would end up with an excel spread sheet with everyones name on it. Once we had everyones's name and cabin on the list, we could pass to the list to the floor monitors. Sounds like it would work like a phone tree system we used when my kids were in school.
Just my thoughts...
Oh my gosh, that's so cute and absolutely perfect for your friends' daughter on their cruise! What a great friend you are! That little girl will be so thrilled!Just won this on ebay....
I wanted to show it to someone who would get it!!! I'm sending it to my Diser Friends for their daughter...She will be on the DCL NYE 2008 with us and don't ya think this is perfect for that? I hope the size is ok by then, okay now I've taken my OCD in childrens clothes to the next level....pre buying for my friends. What a nutcase!
Now why would that be?
Honestly, we had a TON of GTY staterooms on our last cruise, because DCL dropped the price dramaticaly a few weeks before the cruise, and MANY of our DIS friends rebooked and saved major $$$$. While it was a challenge with the cabin numbers we had, we found everyone. While the ship is big, it was amazing how much we saw and ran into our DIS friends.
I don't know if you guys will want to go for this, but I will mention it because it really brought the last group together at the terminal, and made a nice photo. Disney Direct had a Disney shirt really cheap on sale, and it came in Lime Green before our last cruise. We decided to all order the same shirt, and at the port, we looked like the Lime Green Army! It was REALLY easy to find all of our DIS friends at the port, and get to meet and greet before boarding.
I would suggest, however, that we give this idea a bit of time. No need to go out and buy shirts now - wait until the group is more firmed up like for the team gifts.
But start keeping your eyes out for deals like that. I think the shirts were maybe $7 each. If any of our friends outside of the US can't order, we could always order for them and hand them out the night before at hotels or something.
When I get a chance, I will try to post a photo of our group.
I will be happy to be a focal point for those who have gty cabins. You can stop by our cabin and leave your cabin number when you board the ship. I will figure out a way to keep all of the number, maybe a list on the door or something.
Second thought, maybe people can call our cabin and leave voice mail with their cabin numbers.
You know what I always, always, always do? Whenever I type a long post (or e-mail, for that matter), I always select & copy it just in case something happens. Just an old habit leftover from when I had dial-up many years ago and always got booted offline at the wrong time and lost long e-mails often. It only takes an extra second and is worth not having to deal with the hassle and frustration of losing a long post or e-mail.
A DIS name on the door and a stocking on the fish told me which doors to leave something at when I was walking the halls in Dec.
I actually ended up having ressies in three hotels, including the Grand Californian if anyone needs to share rooms.
Will there be anyhthing left if I wait until January 2008?

We should soooo do this! John your picture is awesome! The kids 
is great!
Well, after 5 1/2 years without, I learned Friday what I've been missing out on! Never did anything like that in my 20s, so I'm making up for it almost double-time!(Get it? I'm almost 40.
I think me having a semester off law school was a very dangerous idea. I need to get back to my responsible self!

Here is a photo of some of the kids at the terminal in their shirts . . . Sophia has the bow in her hair, and Kim's DD (Kimerinc) is the cute redhead holding her hand. Angie's grandson has his back to you . . .
Here is the group photo on Deck 9 . . . not even half of us remembered to get there, but I am in the front row - seated, and PJ is in the photo too, back row, very left end, and Angie and Dennis are in the photo too, about in the middle, Dennis in back, Angie in front of him . . .
Thanks!Holly,
You will have plenty of years of responsibility (and boredom) to attend to in the future.

I've always been in a relationship, one after another, with no more than a couple months in between each, ever since I was a teen. So now it's finally time to play and have fun!
I was figuring we would end up with an excel spread sheet with everyones name on it. Once we had everyones's name and cabin on the list, we could pass to the list to the floor monitors. Sounds like it would work like a phone tree system we used when my kids were in school.
Just my thoughts...
Oh My Goodness, you all are booking rooms already? YIKES! I haven't even considered rooms...tried to book flights but couldn't Do I need to book a room now?
