Crystal and I were able to swap rooms in advance so our room # is now 6004. I glad everything worked out

Tiffany , Your My New BFF. We all love you in The Boby house hold.

 

[NoodlesMom]

No problem.

On the main board post named "dining" someone just off the Magic this past Saturday confirmed this morning that there were only two dining time: 5:45 and 8:15. Starting to look like the change is real.

When we went on the wonder last November, for the 4 night. It was the same way. We had 5:45 we just left ports a little earlier and got ready for dinner. It actually worked out great after dinner the kids went to the Lab and hubby and I saw a show or got drinks it was nice.

Yey! So pleased for you!

Sonya -- you have me cracking up! Maybe we should call Tony Mr. P?

Love it!!!! Please do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[krishouse]

I cannot wait to get on this cruise!!!
I am trying to figure out how I am going to lug all of my wine on the boat!!! lol.
In Ontario we had these great little tetra packs of wine-- and good wine surprisingly; but as of late my local liquor store has not been stocking them!!!
Trying to start a small stockpile lol....
I am still working on my fish extender gifts, just trying to figure out a system. I am going to enlist the help of my 16 year old to keep organized..

Any packing tips??? I am going to finally start since this trip is a reality!!!!
I hope everyone is having a great night!
Kristin

 

[Tink113]

No problem.

Anyone else feeling the DIS love & the Disney magic

NoodlesMom - you've got great things coming to you...good karma in your family!

 

[lucyddr]

Adedward, here you go........BTW...very nice photo!!!!

Nice photo! (Even if your husband doesn't like it, it looks great to me!)

Evening all!

Will catch up in a minute, just needed to share with someone that I just logged onto the TA's website, and our vacation tickets have been posted today This is all getting so real!!!

I would share this news with Tony, but he's currently at the local Parish Council giving a talk on dog poop!!! Thats right, dog poop!!! Ah the glamorous life we lead!!!

I sooooo feel your pain! We pick up poop in our yard every time the dogs go but unfortunately our neighbors walk their dogs on the sidewalk and they poop in our yard! If really, really irritates us! (Of course this happens when we are not home...)

Crystal and I were able to swap rooms in advance so our room # is now 6004. I'm glad everything worked out

I'm so glad things worked out! Now, just pack away and enjoy your vacation!!!

 

[austin77]

Congrats! Im happy everything worked out for you!

Thats great news!!! I'm so glad things worked out for you!! Now start packing!!!

Since everyone is sharing their shoe finds. I thought I'd share our shoe find with you guys.

Those are so cute!!!! I've never seen those around here! I bet their comfy.

Plan on heading back to Epcot to meet Belinda for drink.

I am feeling a ton better today -- thanks for the well wishes. A ton of posts to catch up on but thought I would jump in from here before I get any further behind!

Hey Mati!! I'm so glad your starting to feel better We need our girl heathly and pep for our cruise!!!

Can't wait for our meet at Epcot!!!

Your right! It looks like their is going to be a bunch of us their that day, maybe an afternoon meet or so would be good?

I picked up my signature photo mats at Wal-Mart over the weekend. Now I need to put my little "info" stuff on it. I bought one for my parents, too, as a surprise! Shhhhhhh! Even though we got one last time, I think I need another one!

Oh Val, I'd love to see it!! Post it when you get done? I made one for the first time this year!! I didn't know we could even do something like that!!

We take it to guest services right?

Shawn keeps talking about the "other" Harley guy!! I keep telling him, thats Vals hubby!!! He more excited than a kid in a candy store!!!

EPCOT has EXTRA Magic hours on Friday 15th..


Friday, May 15
11:00 - 9:00 World Showcase
9:00 - 7:00 Future World
9:00 - 12:00 Extra Magic Hours


We will be at EPCOT Friday also. Staying at the Boardwalk Villas.

<

EXTRA MAGIC HOURS!!!That's great news!!! At least we can sleep in a little before our magical buses takes us to port!!

I think Mati had a good idea. Maybe an afternoon meet It seems theirs going to be a lot of us at Epcot that Friday!! PERFECT


Hey Jane! My table mate!!! I couldn't remember, (sorry if this was already asked). Will their be a final FE list with all the room numbers on it? Or should we go thru the post?

I wish you and Jim we're near us and Andy and Ash. But it's ok, we've agreed that walking up all those stairs is going to be a must!!!

Yes thats too bad all three of us aren't close! Stairs are defiantly a must!

 

[SpeedFigure]

Hi everyone. Wow I have missed a lot in the past 2 days. I'm doing better, had a set back yesterday but now its good. Hopefully getting off IV's on Friday!!! Slowly gaining use of 3 fingers on the left hand and movement in the other 2.

SOOOOO excited about the rooms!!!! Interesting they stuck us near our dining mates. Seems like level 2 will be a FUN level!
Hopefully since we'll all be near each other our stuff will be safer.
Hubby went out to gather some FE supplies. Almost ready to get things together. He's too cute to be willing to help me with them. (normally with stuff like this he just leaves me to it)

So happy that Crystal could trade with Tiffany. Great to hear the friends being made!!!!

I'll try to keep up more...still hard to type with one hand

 

[briarroselynn]

Every couple hours at work my best friend and I tease the rest of our work with the Disney cruise horn! My daughter keeps telling me that she is tired of me talking about it! I think she is having second thoughts about saying no to the cruise. She is 15 and ofcourse doesnt want to hang with mom.
I cant stop thinking about it! The last month goes by quick..buying all the clothes, supplies etc. wILL IT BE QUICK ENOUGH?
ANYBODY OUT THERE FEELING MY PAIN?


FYI- HIGH HERE IN SUNNY JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA TODAY WAS 73 DEGREES! SURE LOOKS LIKE CRUISE WEATHER!!!!!!!

Thats soo funny! Eventhough we live in the country my dogs are like clockwork and will only do their business in their kennel outside.

Crystal and I were able to swap rooms in advance so our room # is now 6004. I'm glad everything worked out

Yay! I'm soo glad this worked out!!! Tiffany that was soo sweet of you to trade and I'm so happy that Crystal's family will be together.

Shawn keeps talking about the "other" Harley guy!! I keep telling him, thats Vals hubby!!! Hey Jane! My table mate!!! I couldn't remember, (sorry if this was already asked). Will their be a final FE list with all the room numbers on it? Or should we go thru the post?

Jason's a wanna-be Harley guy but for now he is a Kawasaki guy so there's another motorcycle guy for Shawn. Jane is still putting together the FE and all the DISers list. Since I'm putting together a mini-navigator for the cruise I will be using her spreadsheet, reformatting it and adding the information into the nav.

While I'm on our mini-navigator topic I thought I would run by all of you what I was thinking I would include:
(1) A listing of some of the meets we discussed:
3 pm Saturday Promenade Lounge
2 pm Sea Days in Cove Cafe
At the Sail Away and Pirates In the Caribbean Party
Etc....
(2) The FE list to include the dis user name, cabin number, adults name, kids name with ages, the number of women/men/girls/boys
(3) The DIS list to include the dis user name, cabin number, adults names, kids name with ages, and any special celebrations
(4) A diagram highlight the rooms participating in the FE Exchange
(5) Space to add in room number changes, etc. and maybe a few other surprises

Any ideas? I'll make copies and have them with me in the terminal and at the Promenade Lounge meet. If you're not able to get one at that time you could just catch up with me and I'll get one to you somehow!

That's crazy that they may not be doing the staggered dining times! I was definately hoping for a 6 pm time, partially for the rotation and also because 6 seemed early enough.

Somehow I missed the fact that you lived in Jax! We lived there for 5 years (Adam was there longer...) and LOVED it! I miss the warmth, but love the seasons and scenery up here! It's still pretty cool and damp around here...

I think your idea is outstanding! I had hoped to put the FE list in with my box I'm shipping to DCL, but forgot... I finished all of my FE gifts tonight and have them all boxed up to take to the post office this weekend! Let's just hope that bubbles aren't "chemicals" or "liquid food/beverage items."

If the box comes back, we'll know!

Lynsey,
I think your doing a wonderful job on the navigator.

I also think Jane is wonderful for the dis board ,and FE list that she does.

Val your awesome for starting this thread.

Mati Your incredible for arranging all our reservation.

Tiffany your spectacular for trading with us so we can be a family.

Cinda your super for trying to book me brunch w youand your husband.

Gosh i hope i haven't forgotten anyone. oh heck I love you all for all your well wishes for us. As you can clearly see my mood has being uplifted. Still upset w DC service ,but now looking forward to the MAGIC that will have on the cruise.
ok since most of you are on Deck 2. Who besides me ,Tiffany and Mati are on Deck 6?? I need a head count?:

 

[texfinn]

Tiffany , Your My New BFF. We all love you in The Boby house hold.

Tiffany, Crystal -- so excited it worked out for you two!!!!

No problem.

Tiffany -- you were such a good sport! I do see some extra pixie dust coming your way!!! It has to!

I cannot wait to get on this cruise!!!
I am trying to figure out how I am going to lug all of my wine on the boat!!! lol.
In Ontario we had these great little tetra packs of wine-- and good wine surprisingly; but as of late my local liquor store has not been stocking them!!!
Trying to start a small stockpile lol....
I am still working on my fish extender gifts, just trying to figure out a system. I am going to enlist the help of my 16 year old to keep organized..

Any packing tips??? I am going to finally start since this trip is a reality!!!!
I hope everyone is having a great night!
Kristin

Hi Kristin! Struggling with the wine thing too. We arrive too late on Thursday night to have our car stop at the grocery store to get wine and not sure I want to stop on the way into the port. I am thinking I may bring some with us from Texas and then maybe buy a bit in Key West. What are tetra packs? Are they single packs? We have a great brand here I love for around the pool BUT they are hard to find -- it seems everyone loves them not just me! Maybe I should start packing too now that taxes are done! How exciting!

Hey Mati!! I'm so glad your starting to feel better We need our girl heathly and pep for our cruise!!!

Can't wait for our meet at Epcot!!!

Thank you Darlin! I can't wait until we go -- it is going to be a BLAST!!!!

We could do an Epcot meet somewhere in the World for a drink? or on the Boardwalk at B&C for ice cream if that makes more sense? You know me ---always looking for the extra shot of....ummmm...energy but I suppose ice cream could work too!

Hi everyone. Wow I have missed a lot in the past 2 days. I'm doing better, had a set back yesterday but now its good. Hopefully getting off IV's on Friday!!! Slowly gaining use of 3 fingers on the left hand and movement in the other 2.

JorDan -- I am so so glad tha you are getting some movement back in your hands. You have us all so worried! Keep us posted on your recovery!

Every couple hours at work my best friend and I tease the rest of our work with the Disney cruise horn! My daughter keeps telling me that she is tired of me talking about it! I think she is having second thoughts about saying no to the cruise. She is 15 and ofcourse doesnt want to hang with mom.

Amy -- I have had that problem since the day I booked the cruise! Yoni made me stop talking to him about Disney at one point. I think he is ok with it now but I suppose I can get a bit annoying!

Jason's a wanna-be Harley guy but for now he is a Kawasaki guy so there's another motorcycle guy for Shawn.

Lynsey -- Yoni has a Kawasaki! I'll let him know that someone else on the ship is as crazy as his is!

Ok, off to finish the book and watch some tv before bed. Good night everyone!

Thats great!! I will tell Shawn, Now he will really be excited!!

I think your awesome for making the mini navigator. So kind of you to do this for all of us..

Jane, Val, Mati, and Lynsey!! You guys are great for all the work that you are contributing in making this the best DisMeet ever!!!
This will be our first one and we are blessed to have a group this wonderful.
Thanks guys!! Everyone I've met on this board is amazing!!!

Lysney - are you also going to email the mini's or do we just need to meet up with you?
I just don't know that we will make it to the promenade meet

Thank you Darlin! I can't wait until we go -- it is going to be a BLAST!!!!

Wow!! Hmmm.....now you really have my mind working!!! I never thought of B&C. But then again... I am your twinkie, an extra shot of .......ummmmmm...energy is always a yummy thing!!

Yoni has a Kawasaki! I'll let him know that someone else on the ship is as crazy as his is!

Boy!! Shawn is going to be as happy as a clam!! He will be right at home. Now we offically have a "bad boys" club!!

Hey there
A tetra pack is like a 1.5 litre of wine in a box container instead of a bottle, not a box of wine necessarily but a smaller version in a travel light weight container!! Key West sounds like a great idea to pick up a bit of wine as well, I may consider this too.
