May 3, 2003 - Magic Eastern Cruisers

Hey, breastfeeding is a natural and normal experience. And if anyone oogles or annoys you, I'll slap them with a shrimp!
Remember I used to be a cop and now I'm a nurse, so I can hurt them then heal them!!!!

Jeanne - post a few more times, okay!!! I want you to be a veteran before we leave!!

Folks, Andy is really doing us some great work. I'd like to give him something for his efforts and expenses - so would you mind paying for the pins? Say a buck a pin? Would that be reasonable to you? Andy?

Maybe we can get our honorary cruiser (Andy) to come up with something for us - since he is the artistic one!! Andy?

I am still trying to get the last of the packing done - seems like everytime I pick something out, I find something else I like better!
My DH said, "Honey, that's a sign that you have too many clothes!" Truer words were never spoken!!

Rae

I am still packing...and that includes a trip to my best friends house to sort through her closet. I just can't narrow it down as much as I should...oh well...looks like the kids are going to have to pack two suitcases each to accomodate my clothes, ha ha ha..

well time is coming closer and closer....

lets dance!

How about a dosen Rock Shrimp?

Jessie - I only have to pack for me and Michael - I can't imagine how anyone with more to pack for does it!!!!!
Same with cooking for more than 4 people at a time. I can't see how my friend Hanah with hubby and 6 kids does it! SHEESH!
Better women than I am!

So, are we all ready otherwise?!
I mean, I'm starting to get anxiously nervously happy! Makes little sense unless you've got the Disney Cruise Flu! Just gets you going!!!!!



Okay, big, BIG, B I G recommendation for evening entertainment for the kids and later for the adults -----
Dueling Pianos!

The kids get a chance to go up on stage and sing along with the piano players - songs like "Unicorn", "18 Wheels on a Big Rig", etc. Plus a lot of other oldies that really set things rocking.
The show is about 45 minutes long between the end of early dining and before late dining!

They also have an adult show later on!

This is not to be missed! In fact, we go every night and sit right in front!!

It's because of one of the piano players "Fidelio" that Michael is now taking piano lessons! Andy, our dear friend (verandahman), made Michael a great shirt using a picture that I had of Michael with Fidelio!!!! It's going to be the most worn article in my son's luggage!!!

Okay, that's my shameless plug for the Dueling Pianos!

5 more nights to sleep and we're on the ship!

HAHAHAAH! Jessie - now that's thinking!

Would that we could send him some!!!!! I think he'd have a good laugh over that!!!!

Well, It is my birthday and my husband is going to take me to dinner. We must leave in about 30 minutes. I am going to make him take me shopping before hand for a few cruise items. You all have a great evening and I will be thinking of you while I have a glass of wine... how could I not think of all you winos!

Jessie, That would be great, to see the movies together. No problem, on the breastfeeding. I happen to be a maternity R.N. Rae, I knew, we would get along. With us both being nurses. Did you realize, that we are cuising during nurses week. We will have to have a special toast , for it. Also that would be fine with me, on the charge for the pins. It's ok, if he needs more for his time and effort and shipping handling, thats ok too. Let me and everyone else know. Thanks Andy! Andy has done so much for us, it's really sad that he can't join us. I would love to meet him. Andy, you sound like so much FUN!

I feel even more comforted knowing that I have friends onboard that can give help in those medical emergencies! Take care and talk to you later tonight

Hello everyone!

We're still trying to finalize a lot of our plans for the cruise and have given some thought about the Dis Wine Meet. Would it still be OK if Travis, Gloria and myself attend?

Although Florida doesn't produce any notable wine, I can probably dig up something to bring. Anyone like citrus wine?

Jason

 

[rae519]

Hi Jason!

Of course, you and yours are welcome to the Wine Tasting!!!Matthew and Corinna have invited ALL of us to their suite 8030 (Walt Disney Suite) for it.

And our dearest Andy has made us special pins to wear! He's a gem!

And a very special HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Jessie - remember to tell them in the Dining Room that you just celebrated a birthday and you will get a special song and cake after your meal! It's definitely a cool thing to do!!! Hope you get some shrimp tonight!

Rae

 

[rae519]

Pam - you are a nurse also?! Wow! We have the cruise covered them don't we?! My specialty was Psychiatric and I later took a break from it to go into Maternity! What a coincidence!!!!!

Rae

 

[rae519]

Just looked over the Orlando and Virgin Island weather reports.

We need to start some heavy duty KNEE time, folks.

Thank you Rae! We'll be checking out the local wine stops for something with a decidedly Florida twist.

Perhaps Andy was a graphic design artist for a shrimp and seafood company in a past life?

Really, anything you decide would be appreciated, I didn't make them to make a profit, I made them so that all my new found friends on the May 3rd cruise, would have something to remind them of their special afternoon in the Walt Disney Suite.

I will be thinking of you all next Monday afternoon. Today, while I was walking around reading meters, I looked at my watch, it said 1:30, I thought to myself, one week from now, everyone will be gathered in the Walt Disney Suite for the Wine Tasting Party. So see, I will be thinking of you all next week!!!

Have a BLAST on your cruise!!! I'll be waiting to hear some great stories and reports from your trip, and of course, PHOTOS!!! PHOTOS!!! and more PHOTOS!!!

Pam - Do not miss Chicago, it is fabulous. I was blown away by Catherine Zeta-Jones' dancing and singing. She was terrific, as was the rest of the cast. The kind of movie you could see over and over again. Also, heard Alabama is good too, haven't seen it as yet though, but good feedback from all who have.

Can you even believe 4 more days, so psyched!!! Time for the dance again.

 

[Verandah Man]

Rae,

If you read this post before reading any of your e-mails, I just sent you an e-mail. I need you to reply to me via e-mail ASAP!!!

Thanks!!!

Andy

 

[keith & co.]

Well, Andy........

How cool are you!?!?!?!

It is really very sweet of you to do the pins...........

If I made a suggestion that maybe all the women would look nice in pearls could you whip those up too????


Seriously........ Very nice!! Thank You!!

Oh, be sure and keep one for you and your wife (Honary Winos)..... Open a bottle that evening and know that all us 'Winos" were sticking ourselves with your pins after a few glasses on the magic!!!


And.... What would you rather have....... cash..... or..... SHRIMP??

I just checked it too Rae. It does seem a little bit troublesome.

Although, I think a rainy day on the Magic is still a day in paradise!

 

[savs]

Andy how cool are you to help us out with those pins.....thanks! They turned out really cute, thank you also for sending me a photo....they look great!

Pam- I really would like to see the movie Chicago. So if you would like company let me know. I have already seen Sweet Home Alabama....rented it when dh was out of town. It was a good movie to see. My one ds really wants to see the movie Holes, so I'm sure we'll be in there for that one.

How exciting is this.......only a few more nights to go!!!!

HAPPY DANCE>>>>>>

 

[flsuperhawk]

I just got back from my Birthday Dinner!!! Lots of fun and shrimp...I know Andy and Rae are jealous...Don't worry there will be plenty on the boat Rae...at least for the first day.

I am ready to dance...join me everyone!
