I think we've now been renamed Swanky Suite Swillers!

Say THAT three times fast... yeah you can do it now, but what about AFTER you've swilled a few!

Good Morning all

lol! Posted the same time....or you KNOW I would have commented on that one Now just need to find a drinking Caballero to update our icon
Before you know it some of us might have to join my DH and the other friends of Bill W. (Hopefully that didn't offend anyone. He's been clean and sober long enough that we can poke fun and take it serious at the same time. Plus he wll appreciate your efforts to get me drunk....he always tries I'm just not one that drinks that often. But this cruise whole other story ) Wow I am long winded even in parenthesis!

Swanky Suite Swillers- I have heard it all! I think this group is going to be lots of fun and get along very well!!

I got some gifts for the exchange, but those with older DDs 10-12 can you give me some ideas???

22 days people, 22 days!!
I may have to post a pre trip report about the adventures of the Swanky SUite Swillers. I think we need a mascot!

Good Morning all
Nice new caballero duck icon there!

LOL! You would think I had swilled a few - took me the longest time to get this. Looked back through the messags multiple times before finally - Agreed - cool duck! Fits right in!

Now just need to find a drinking Caballero to update our icon

Ooooh that would be COOL!!!!

No offense here - my BIL is the same, it's been long enough we joke and laugh about it, and it doesn't stop my sister from swilling.

"Long Winded in Parenthesis"... I don't know why (my sick sense of humor I'm sure), but I LOVE this line! It's like "Well Mannered Frivolity"... Or "Lost in Translation"! - okay, got my hair done today (looks fab), and it's the hair dye... I swear... Yep, its the hair dye, I'm really NOT this weird - that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Love this Ellen

COOL! I don't know if its going to be the same this time - but I know I'm just as excited, but in 2005 the boards were HOPPING when the Magic started her journey to the West Coast. Lots of postings and pictures and webcams. It was a BLAST. Also, when she got to the Panama Canal it was the same, someone actually got ahold of the webcam there and asked them to move it so the dis'ers could watch the Magic go through the locks. Now that's power! I'm so excited that she begins her journey to us in one week!

Cool, a trip report - can't wait!

I actually picked up some gifts today also - waiting for the final tally for the others, but I've been getting some ideas.

Hmmm, I have a DS12, but I'll take a shot... pens (pink, fun, lightup, or smellicious), small notepads/diaries, glitter lotion, bracelets (jelly, friendship, etc), hair items (barrettes, ponytailers, clippies), fingernail polish, bookmarks, lip gloss.

 

[tinkmischief]

How cool is it that they made smileys of my dad and his brothers!?!

 

[4campers]

Are these guys our new mascots???

 

[JennyW]

Has anyone else not gotten their paperwork yet? My mom got hers a couple of days ago. Our reservations are linked, so I figured we'd get ours, too.

 

[tinkmischief]

I haven't gotten mine either Hope I do soon then I can do the happy dance

 

[MaryAz]

Love the mascots!!
Ellen, I forgot about the 12 yr old DS-need ideas!!
Jenny We have not recieved our paperwork either.
Mary

OK I really need to quit posting close to bedtime ...but I just have to say that I can't wait to get within hugging distance of you all and squish you Ok so I guess no one reading my posts would guess just how shy I can be in new siutuations (mild case of social anxiety) but everyone here sounds so fun and don't try to get away - I'm short but I move fast

Ok that was my excited outburst for the day...I will try to contain myself for awhile

Oh! I second the DS 12 idea request.

Ok really...stepping away from the computer now slowly....slowly

 

[disneyfan21]

Haven't posted in a long time but I am still looking forward to meeting all of you. I am interested in doing the gift exchange ( I just sent you a PM tinkmischief).

My mom, son and niece both eleven will be joining me on this cruise. This is my niece's first cruise so she is really excited.

 

[tinkmischief]

Gotcha disneyfan21! Glad you'll be joining us! on that note....

Reminder! - one more day to sign up for the fish extender exchange! PM me right away to join in the fun!

I hope everyone gets their paperwork soon, I've started the printing process - checkin, magnets, itinerary, etc... Hit Office Depot yesterday and I have a small magnetic whiteboard for our door as well as a magnetic paper holder for the extra Fish Extender Exchange lists!

Took a peek at availability, and there are still LOTS of categories available, so good luck to everyone still hoping for an upgrade, I think you have a really good chance and a bit of pixie dust for luck.

Ellen, I forgot about the 12 yr old DS-need ideas!!

Boys are a bit harder, I think - you lose that whole personal hygiene set of items with them. Small candies, yummies etc., pens (light up, fun, etc), pencils, bookmarks, magnets, small figurines - especially dinosaur, dragons, etc., temporary tattoos, key chains...

Ok so I guess no one reading my posts would guess just how shy I can be in new siutuations (mild case of social anxiety) but everyone here sounds so fun and don't try to get away - I'm short but I move fast

Oh this sounds just like me!

 

[disneyfan21]

No paperwork either.Thought I heard the UPS truck on Friday so got really excited but it ended up being a very loud school bus.
