Okay I know we are supposed to wait for the recipe exchange... but this one is a super super super simple one... and it is so easy it doesnt count.

in a crockpot :

combine 4 chicken breasts ( can be frozen or not)
one packet of taco seasoning mix
1 can of rotel tomatoes

1 cup of water if using fresh chicken.

turn on high for 4 hours...

shred chicken with fork.

and then serve with tortillas, lettuce, cheese etc.

I make this all the time, and there is no prep !!

We make something like this all the time too. My family doesn't love chunks of tomatoes, so I just use frozen chicken breasts, taco seasoning mix and about 1/2 cup of water. We use the shredded chicken to make tacos, burritos, quesadillas, over rice. So yummy!!

It seems like there is a lot of interest in the lanyards. I will begin to keep a list. Currently the price will be $1.90 for each. If we get over 100 I will get another quote for a larger quantity.

Please pm or post DIS name, number of lanyards you would like to order and name of each person.

I will use the roll call to update cabin numbers, so please let me know if there are any changes to cabins. This will be used in case you are unable to get lanyards at Meet (TBD).

We will need to come up with a cut off date that everyone is ok with, so we have time to order and have them shipped. I am thinking April 1st (same date as FE), just to keep things easy to remember.

I will update the first post with the same information.

To all the cruisers on the MMDF, we have to say, have a great sailing. We decide to cancel the cruise because there is very little chance we could use our DVC points. They had openings for the New Years eve sailing on the Magic, so we went with that.

Hope everyone has great cruise...

New question of the day:

with the weather being crazy all over the country:

what is your favorite season?

mine is fall.... I love the changing of the leaves and my favorite holiday is then.. Halloween!!

 

[amanda.c09]

I haven't been on in a while so....
My favorite character is Aurora.
My husband won't watch many Disney movies, but I think he likes Woody from Toy Story. He's actually sat and watched all three of them.

Favorite season...NOT summer. It has been hot hot hot here in Kansas. My favorite would have to be fall because the trees all change pretty colors. But my favorite holiday is Christmas with everyone together having fun all day long.

 

[verygfy]

My favorite season is definitely fall, the weather is perfect, the leaves changing colors and the beginning of the holiday season!!

My favorite holiday has to be Christmas

YES we want 3 of the lanyards; one each for Shelly, Dave, Terry

Cabin # 9174
DH-Dave, DW-Shelly, & BFF Terry (female)
Dining: Early; Show: Late (?)

Can't wait to see us all together on board!!!

 

[shesesewsall]

OK I know this is crazy. But for FE, for lanyards, for postcards, for roll call, for just about everything, people want us to PM them. Well I TRIED! But it says I can't PM anyone until I've posted 10 times.

I guess I have to keep posting just to get in 10 to send to you? Come on, there's got to be another way!

 

[shesesewsall]

This sounds a lot like our experience. We had a very bad 1st cruise experience with Carnival. (It was a gift so we went, but have been trying to block it out ever since)

This will be our second cruise. Our first cruise (together as DH spent 20 years "cruising" on a USNavy air craft carrier) was in the middle of Hurricane Ivan's barrelling towards the Gulf Coast for our Honeymoon on Carnival Cruise lines. We had a blast!

We were originally booked on another Carnival Cruise for June 2011; but there were enough signs showing that we should change to another cruise at another time (THANK HEAVENS since I had lumbar fusion surgery a week after our scheduled cruise). We changed it to the Mememorial Day Fantasy Cruise and now have completed paying for it. We are now just in anticipation when we can all get together in the embarkation area and get on to a Disney Cruise. (Already planning a big family cruise 2 years after this one, too!)

Been trying to figure out our Disney and cruising experiences to add to all of y'all's. As DH was raised in Miami and went frequently to Disney, I'll let him add his side of cruises to this later! LOL

, my DD is going to be 3 weeks from 6 when we cruise also!! There are so many great excursions for this cruise, the hardest part has been narrowing them down!! Mixing WDW with the cruise is so much fun. We will probably add days to the trip at WDW also, just not sure if it will be before or after

First of all, I totally agree that we are also having problems narrowing down things we want to see. I'm leary of booking private things, don't want to end up somewhere I can't get out of if they decide to rip us off (ok, so I'm a bit cynical in my old age).

We, too, are planning mixing WDW with cruise. We just have to find out how BFF's vacation days are planned out and schedule around her as well. DH can take off longer if needed, but don't know if she can or not. Maybe we can get together and do part of it together---also want to take BFF to Universal to see Harry Potter's adventure! AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME adventure for Potter lovers.

Count us in for the FE (three of us, Dave, Shelly & Terry).

Also count us in for the recipe/post card exchange. Don't know if BFF-Terry wants to do this part as with us or separate, but I"ll ask and get back with you.

I thought I would try something. Let me know what you think



We LOVE this logo! I'm already planning on digitizing it for a machine embroidered design that we will be using on shirts for the 3 of us in our cabin for sail away day and whatever the last day is called. Also going to embroider different shirts for each of our port days with something "appropriate" for each day. Haven't totally decided on those three days yet, but the ideas are popping like pop corn!

Also getting ideas to make our FE for our cabin. Although it seems like a long time off, that time will be here before we know it, so want all the planning done first.

Oh, and wanted to let y'all know, if you have a Party City near you, there are TONS of ideas for FE and Door Decorating for all princesses, CARS, Club Mickey, POTC, and much more Disney stuff. Also Oriental Trading has BUNCHES as well! I believe in planning things like this early, so already started looking.

One other question (for now)
the recipe/post card exchange--is that a post card per each cabin that participates, each person that participates, or only for those in our FE? Just curious!!!

I created the logo in Photoshop, so if there is a better format for your digitization, let me know. I would love to have an emrodiery machine, but the only time I think I would use it is for Disney Cruises and DH would never allow that. What kind do you have?

I have only participated in one postcard/recipe exchange before and it was per cabin. However, you do not need to participate in the FE.

Two questions... How many folks are we up to for the FE, and when will the roll call be updated so we can see ages/ gender of kiddos? Thanks

 

[shesesewsall]

Thanks for adding us to the recipe/post card exchange. Do you know who I need to try to contact (if I ever get 10 posts on here) to be sure we get on the FE list?

jpeg is fine. I am just itchin' to be stitchin' it! But I have to finish a few things for future granddaughter expected to make her appearance on Tuesday!
You'd be surprised how much you use an embroidery machine for! I now own 3 of them! All Brother machines, 2 that only do things in 4 x 4 hoop the 3rd will do 4 different size designs!

Thanks for the explanation. And we are planning on doing the FE as well! This all is sounding so exciting.

I am not sure about the FE, Magic3forme is handling that list. As far as the roll call I just double checked my notebook with the current roll call and it is updated with the information that I received. Would you like me to put it in excel spreadsheet for you. I can work on that next weekend for you if you would like.
