~~~ May 16, 2009 ~~~ Western Magic ~~~

[Hudson5&Lennon3]

Not going to do my diet any good. Maybe one of the kids will share it with me. So I don't eat the whole thing myself.

We usually get a large and all 4 of us share it!! Cheaper that way, too! Our "habit" last summer was getting too expensive, so we found a way to make it more affordable.

I originally didn't pre-order the 2009 DCL Passporter because it may/may not have been mailed in time. But I have great news!

If you purchase the Passporter on their website you can get immediate access to the PDF!

This may be especially helpful for those new to DCL or who just booked and have not made any of their reservations.

6 weeks to go!

 

[dta87]

Looks like I caught them in time and we should be good to go!

ALL -

The Price is going to run $1.15 each!!! If you guys want to do paypal, that's fine.

Email me at Tink113 (at) aol.com if you need an paypal invoice or you want my address to mail a check.

Make sure you put you DIS name on check, in the email title, and on the paypal notes so i note the correct people who have paid. For our "way out of towners" , soyna, Austin, et all .... on the boat is fine.

i hope to get the proof soon & when i do, I'll share.

Thanks Amanda

Sorry for the last minute scramble.

Do you have a preference check/PayPal? I know, at least for me, there was an "incoming transfer transaction fee" when I did PayPal transactions in the past. I just want to make sure you are not eating any of those fees.

6 Weeks
Until We Take The West



Is it time to start packing yet??????​

 

[texfinn]

Ottermouse -- can you carry your bottle of wine around with you (like if we lounge on a deck not by the pool or hang out playing cards in Diversions) or is that not allowed?

Val -- Still haven't heard from Belinda. I texted her last night but no response so now I am really worried.... If anyone has heard from her, let us know!

Amanda -- got the paypal request and doing that after I am done posting.

Shawan -- SIX weeks?!?! WOW -- How exciting!!!

You mean we weren't supposed to back until now? Maybe I should empty my suitcase!

My clothes are packed (except for underthings and a pair of pants). Same for my mother. I'm going to the Disney store and maybe Target to finish Carissa's packing. My niece can't pack until she comes home from college. I need to concentrate on non-clothing items now.

I am not sure about this but we will try it so if you see some one walking around with a bottle, it will be me

Well since we count Friday's, it is 6 more Friday's

Wow the time is going by fast.

 

[miksilver]

I saw earlier today that there's still one left at 6:00 on Wed, which is exactly when we have ours scheduled for. If that's not a good time for you, then RBD upon boarding is your best bet! I hope you get what you want!!

BTW, There was a guy on my last cruise meet 2 years ago that was put on Palo's "list" so whenever there was a cancellation, they would offer it to him. I think he ate there more than the regular restaurant.

Thanks for the tip. Chris, my DH and I love to eat at the speciality restaurants on the cruise ships. Alright, we just really love to eat in general...

Ok here it is!!!
Homemade Oreo Cookies

Cookies:
2 boxes of Devils Food Cake
4 large Eggs
1 1/2 cup Butter Shortening
(Batter will be greasy looking)

Bake at 350 degrees for 9 mins (or until tops crack) on an ungreased cookie sheet. They are better if they are SOFT so don't over bake.

Cool completely

Cream:
8 oz. plain Cream Cheese
1/2 cup butter (soft not melted)
3 1/2 cups Powered Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla

ENJOY!!!! I can eat ALL of them in one sitting...and now I have to resist making them. haha

Ok, those look delicious. I can cook like crazy, but baking's a bit of a challenge for me. I think I might be able to tackle those.

Here's a link to Cinda's great one!

And for anyone wanting a FKLP, Sara did this one, too!
http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=27842139&postcount=149

Thanks! That's what I needed. I've used the creative boards here quite a lot. They are a great group of people. I just thought that if there was a group name and a sign I'd like to put it on my door.

And "Key Lime Pie-rates" is a great name. Even if I'm not a fan of Key Lime Pie.

paypal is fine... looks like I mixed up the fees. It's 3% + $0.30 per transaction.

For those who have already paid, don't worry about it. It's my bad for not re-checking to fees. No worries.

For those who still need to pay, it's probably easiest if you log into your paypal account and click on the "send funds" or "send money" tab. You can then enter my email address Tink113 (at) aol.com & the amount you want to send.

$1.15 x (how many you are ordering) + $0.30 + $0.03 per dollar = YOUR TOTAL

***PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE YOUR DIS NAME IN THE PAYPAL NOTES SECTION OR ANY EMAILS****

Below is the proof they just emailed me.... what do you all think?



They should look like this (without the color filled wording). Ours is just de-bossed.

Thanks again for setting this up. You should have the payment in your inbox.

Oooh!! I was going to pre-order, but since *ahem* I have a quote in the new book, laughingI get one for free!! I just hope mine arrives in time...

Is it time to start packing yet??????

I think it's time!!! I better get started!!

Val -- Still haven't heard from Belinda. I texted her last night but no response so now I am really worried.... If anyone has heard from her, let us know!

Beliiiiiiiiindaaaaaa!!!! Where aaaaaaaaare youuuuuuuu?!?!

And "Key Lime Pie-rates" is a great name. Even if I'm not a fan of Key Lime Pie.

Believe me, you've got to at least try it!!! Here's a little peek...

...just because it's been awhile since I've posted it.

$1.15 x (how many you are ordering) + $0.34

I think you're still shorting yourself. Wouldn't it be $1.15 x # + 3% (for all of them, not just one, like above) + $0.30? I have it figured that 4 bracelets would be like this...$1.15 x 4 = $4.60 + $0.14 (the 3%) = $4.74 + $0.30 (transaction fee) = $5.04. The other way would only be $4.94. In the end, that could end up being quite a difference!

Below is the proof they just emailed me.... what do you all think?

I hope I don't sound too nitpicky (please don't hate me!!), but do they have to be all the same size of caps? I thought we had seen a preview of a different cruise's wrist bands that had the Walt font (which is all caps but just has a smaller size for the "lower case" letters) that would look something like this:
DIS KEY LIME PIE-RATES
If not, that's perfectly fine!! Just tell me if I'm being too annoying... (I know I can be!!)

Val-

Thanks for the heads up, I had just had the same thought & went back to adjust the prices.
I should now say $1.15 x number of bands + $0.03 per dollar + $0.30 = TOTAL

Thank God it's Friday. This week has been crazy and my brain is fried!

The walt font only comes is caps. I thought from the chart they showed that it was both, but when I called to place the order, they said all caps.

Okay! Great!! (Sorry if I'm a PITA!)

 

[adedward]

OK, I know it is still too early, but I can't stop myself from checking every day to see if my GTY has been changed to a real cabin assignment. Along the same lines, although I know I have to wait now till I get onboard, I also am regularly checking Palo for an opening at Brunch. Obsessiveness is not pretty.

 

[Hudson5&Lennon3]

Whew! I'm officially PIF with Amanda for the wristbands! Boy, that was hard on the pocketbook! I was hoping I wasn't going to have to ask her to accept three monthly payments of $1.6833333...

A quote in the book?! Awesome. That's so cool. Do you know what they used?

As delightful as that looks, I'm still not a fan. I think it's great that it is dipped in chocolate and on a stick since all foods on a stick are pretty cool and wonderfully portable -- but just not for me. If I can get my DH, Chris, to get one I might have a bite just to try.

Wehave been packed since Jan 2nd (The day we booked!!!) LOL

Is it ok if we pay when we meet on the ship? I dont have pay-pal and to send out money from Canada would be a pain. If not then we can send it, but it would be easier to wait!!


WELCOME New cruisers!!!

 

[DevinDemi2]

Tammy,
I was starting to feel like a nut.... I have been packed for at least a week... I am now adding things like hair accessories, jewelry, bonine, sun block, kites, pales... I just don't want to forget anything.

Shawan,
You are a great conversation starter, but I know there is no way you need any workout tips... you look awesome.
I have been working out since February for the cruise... last night I took a hip hop class at Lifetime Fitness.. it was fun but tiring which is GOOD.
I am still not where I want to be.... I am so not ready to put on a swimsuit..

Also... I got up the nerve to get the paint chips from Home Depot
I am working on my countdown calendar....
