WHAT?!?! No Blizzards for either of you?!?! Boy, oh boy, are you missing out!!! In the summer, we usually make a nightly trip to Dairy Queen!

My new favorite is Mint Oreo with chocolate ice cream! Slurp! Or cookie dough with chocolate...or the limited edition cotton candy (that one with vanilla, though!). It's weird how even their most chocolateyist, ooeyist, gooeyist (like Chocolate Extreme) comes with
vanilla ice cream! You have to specifically request chocolate even if it has a name like that!

TO OUR CRUISE THREAD, JIM!!! You'll have to pop in & post once in awhile! I'm not sure I could get Justin to even look at it.

He has his own forums that he goes to (motorcycle or music related), so he's on those all the time. He'd probably keel over at all the info I've shared over the last 1 1/2 yrs!

He is getting SUPER excited, though, too!! I think it's about time to pop in the
DCL DVD again and get everyone's excitement up to the next level

(it's already up there, but since it's getting so close, I think we need a bit more excitement!) Seriously, it's ALL I think about all day long!! And meeting you guys, too!!

I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Ok, is there a Dairy Queen near WDW or on the way to the port? Those sound SO good. I love chocolate and mint stuff (and the best part about that is no one else in the family does, so if I order it ITS ALL MINE!!!
He's been reading it all day still hasn't caught up yet. He isn't on FB but I'll have to be better about checking out the group site and letting him look over my shoulder.
I think Palo is amazing no matter when you do it. So who else is celebrating their anniversary? We celebrated my sons birthday on a November 2008 cruise and the castmembers were great. I read in the Passporter book to call DCL three weeks prior to let them know the occassion and they will have the surprise waiting for you. We are excited about Rasul. DW and I have not spoiled ourselves to anytype of spa treatments.

LOL!!

My mom is the same way, I am going to break it to her today when she is over for a visit. Maybe I can recruit her to help me get them ready....I have some ideas of what I am going to do. I think a canvas bag is more my style rather than a full FE, but I do like to admire everyone else's
We started training for the half marathon yesterday and wiped ourselves out - no one can walk around here today!! Then whatever good I did while out exercising, I undid when I had half a bag of licorice last night.
Happy Sunday everyone!!
I haven't mentioned any of the cruise/DIS boards/FE stuff to my mom. She doesn't understand how the whole internet stuff works and thinks we are crazy for going to the same place every vacation. Some people just don't get it and never will...
woohoo! I just saved $400 switching from CBR - pirate room to Port Orleans - Riverside - amazing!! Has anyone stayed at POR? It looks really nice from the website....and since we are only there 3 nights before leaving on the cruise, I am thinking no one will miss the pirate theming....Now I have that $400 that I budgeted to spend on something else
SWEET! I'm hoping that we get the gas surcharge back so we can use that to pay for some of our food at WDW!
We have stayed at POR. It has been a few years ago. One of the best things that my kids liked was the boat ride down to Downtown Disney. We would go there in the evening after going to the parks.<
If you take the boat you'll be passing right by Old Key West! We LOVE the ride to DTD - Jim said that would be his dream Disney job. Just driving the boat back and forth and getting to talk to vacationers.
we have decided To!!! I think your right! We will have a great table!!! and no one has 7 children!!! LOL
Jane can you conferm you got the post??? Thanks
Got it! I'll call in the morning.
We took the dog on a 4 mile walk today (getting in shape for all the walking at WDW) I'm amazed at anyone that is training for marathons. I could probably walk it, but I don't do the running thing.
When we got back home I returned to working on our FE. Ours will have more of a knapsack type of feel instead of the pocket type. I've finally finished the actual bags (I was able to find some cloth bags at the dollar store, but they had this weird decoration on the flap and were really thin. I bought extra bags, ripped off the flap, created a lining and re-created the flap. Once I'm done with the decorations, I'll post a picture. Can anyone tell me what is the distance from the top of the hanger to the top of the pocket? I've sewed a strap on mine, so I hope I guessed right on the lenght.
I was going to work on the countdown calendar poster, but that just didn't happen this weekend... Where is the time going? Not that I'm complaining, but there is so much to do before we leave...
Hope everyone had a great weekend. I'll be sending out the updated FE/Cruisers list tonight. I've formatted it so it should print out easier to read. If you haven't been recieving the list and would like to just PM me your email address and I'll add you to the group distribution.
Not to keep bugging anyone, but if you want to joing the FE group or would like to have the wrist bands, the deadline is April 1. Just post your request and we will add you.
Jane
