May 26, 2007 (5/26/07) "First Magical Med Cruise!!" (The M&M's!)

[pjtulsa]

OKay, it isn't done yet. Still need to put the hanging bar on top and finish the "please don't steal me" personalization!

Hope the idea helps those who are still looking for ideas.

It took about 30 mintues to make... it isn't THAT great... but it works!

I am adding a top pocket that will be black and have "The Reeds" written on it. At least that is the plan as of right now!

This may be a silly ? but this is my 1st DC so I am not sure what these are. Is it basically a mail bag of sorts, or ???

Wow, I'm away for one friggin' weekend and when I get home there are over 10 pages to catch up on. I thought we were the "quiet" thread!

First of all, welcome to all the newbies......the more the merrier!

About the shampoo.....it's now the H2O spa collection and it is AWESOME! I liked it so much I now buy it online all the time. It's a little pricey, but so worth it. It's my one indulgence....you will love the way it smells. The stuff is just heavenly. As someone else said, if you have an order over $100 there is no shipping charge.

Flights: we're on the same one as Peter and Jenn on 5/24; coming back we are also on Iberia leaving at 12:55pm the day we arrive at port (6/6)

I do not have a fish extender, but if I can find a cheap one on e-bay, I will go for it.

I will not have any magnetic signs as I do not have a color printer. Gifts gladly accepted!

The reason I've been gone: I COMPLETED A HALF-MARATHON YESTERDAY!!!
Nancy (from Cruistoberfest) and I completed the course together in 3:11:07. That comes out to a 14:36 pace.....not too shabby for our first event! Now onward to bigger and better things this January at WDW!

Congradulations! Carolyn (DW), Shari (spros), Linda (seaulater) and Jamie (Linda's DD) did the WDW half marathon last year (I think Celeste(ICUnurse was out there with us as well- the week end was a bit of a blur). Then Carolyn, Shari and I were crazy enough to do the WDW marathon the next day. We are planning on doing the Disneyland Half marathon in Sept and the WDW half marathon in Jan. On the days at sea you will see us doing 15-20 laps around deck 4 to keep up with our training. We keep a pace of 14 to 14 1/2 min. per mile so feel free to join us. Alex

Can you tell me how wide you made yours? TIA!

It is about 7-8 inches wide.

This may be a silly ? but this is my 1st DC so I am not sure what these are. Is it basically a mail bag of sorts, or ???

Yup! "Fish mail", "goodies", "whatnots", "trashbins for rude people walking the halls" "returning lost garmets after too many drinks at the bar"...whatever your needs are!

I noticed at least one group is catching a flight out of BCN at 10:00 and others at 10:30 on 6/6

I was wondering if DCL has a suggested (or guaranteed) earliest time to make a flight connection after disembarking the ship?

Thanks

Per Disney - yes we will make it on time to the Airport - this is the earliest (10am) they say. However, we need to arrange with Guest Services to be the first off the ship.

Per Disney - on 6/6 - assuming there are no issues
3:45 am Dock
6:45 am Ashore

Hi! Hiya! Howdy! Hello! Hola!




I've been busy with the "other" board and am so lost over here! But that's OK, I know some of you will keep me in the loop <hint hint>

Oh, I did some research on Toga's and guess what! White togas where only popular for about 10 yrs then they where only worn by slaves and hookers. Everyone else changed to color. The more color you had, the more money you had. Cool huh! There are also some good sites on how to make a Toga (and not from a bed sheet!) that only take about 15 mins to make. Just thought I would share!

AWESOME!!!!

You all are so awe-inspiring with all of these marathons. I did my first 5K last year and had a blast! Christina's surgeries last year set me back though. She went in for her first of four surgeries just a month after the 5K. My training went out the window and never returned. Maybe you all can motivate me to pick it back up again!

I so agree about the time commitment. I hope you got connected with the WISH board back then....they are so motivating! The worst part about the training isn't the work itself but rather the time investment. Seriously, that is why I am so intent on doing the Mickey this year......I want to get it over with! If I do the Donald this year, I'll still have another year of training, so I just want to train hard once and then go on to something else.

Thanks, Alex.....I'd like to take you up on your offer if I'm not too exhausted from all the excursions! So you guys did the Goofy last year? I can't imagine what it must be like to do a half and know you still have a full to do the next day. No wonder they call it the Goofy! Just curious, why aren't you doing the full in Jan'08? I have also signed up for the Tower of Terror event in October.....it sounds like alot of fun!

You are right about the time investment. That's why we decided to only do half marathons. Training for the Goofy Challenge was double work. We do have the advantage that Carolyn (DW) and I train together, so if we are out for 2 or 3 hours together we get to talk with no interuptions. It has worked out well for us. Alex

Renegade7: congrats on holding your ground with the Delta flight. We got scared and bailed out. Now we have an extra leg each flight, paid over $100 more and need to layover at JFK! Looks like you made the right choice and I'm a wimp! Only good thing is we get to spend lots of "quality" time with Peter and Jenn!

Welcome princesslisa71! Glad to have you on our cruise. Lots of fun stuff. Check out Ken's post on page 55, the 1st post. Also check my FAQs on page 1, post 15.

Can you let us know what the RSVP is for? The suite party? The lanyards? The magic fountains in Barcelona? All three? Also - what are your first names?

Ken will ask these questions too so that he knows what to put on your lanyards!

As Peter said, you'll be able to PM when you get 10 posts - for now, just post the answers here.

Everything. I was on the Panama Repo and saw all the fun stuff you guys did and I felt left out :-( so I vaguely remembered the website and found you. I registered earlier today, but want to RSVP for the BCN activities, welcome aboard party, pajama party, lanyards, and anything else that is going on. I am a little overwhelmed by the 193 pages I have to read before we leave. But I must know EVERYTHING! Travelling with my mom and we are going to DLP on May 21 then to BCN on May 23.
