May 5th 2007 Western Magic CINCO DIS MAYO!

Is he trying to tell you, you have too much idle time on your hands?:rotfl2:
They have no clue, do they?
Karen


you know sometimes i think he is:rotfl2: but yet he complains when i am not even home much. and no he has no clue but i still love him.:lmao:
 
oh Kim, my dh is not quite that bad. He insists on doing all the driving! :drive:
I talked to my girlfriend last night and she is going to embroider our shirts.
On the front above or below Mickey (depends) on room, I will have Madisonznana aka Karen Madisonzpapa aka Bob and of course Madison.
On the back
Cinco Dis Mayo
Cruise 2007

Okay, door signs....you make more than one? And if I add some very slightly dimensional stickers, do you think I can still get it laminated? I am going to personalize my sign and laminate it because I read on another board that a few people had their signs stolen. I figure no one would take ours if it had names and could not be altered. Pretty crumby thing to do on a family trip!:sad2:

SOunds like my hubby..he normally likes to do the driving and leaves me in charge of everything else including the packing. His reasoning for the packing is that i can pack more in a small space then he can.:rotfl2: He will answer questions though if i ask him if he wants to do a certain thing and such and packing i will tell him to lay his clothes out that he wants to take and how many days to pack for and he will lay everything out and folded how he wants it and i put it all in the suitcases. :rolleyes1 but thats ok at least then i know he has enough as i count what he has of everything and check it off as i put it in the suitcase. :rotfl:

I am hoping to go to the mall and see if the disney store has any logo or character polos if not i will get plain ones and embroider them myself. i don't plan on putting our names on ours just the Cinco Dis Mayo cruise 2007 on the back. I will work on the magnets this weekend. i never got to them last weekend. :rotfl2: :rotfl: oh and on the laminating with puffy stickers. Our local staples said they won't laminate anything with puffy stickers as the heat will take the puffy out and some are too thick. they suggested i use the self laminating sheets and those would work.

I was going to make mine bigger than the self laminating sheets, so I guess I will not use those stickers. Staples does not charge that much for their laminating, even the bigger sizes. Back to the drawing boards:rotfl:

Could always ask your local staples and see what they say.. your may be more willing then mine. :lmao: or another idea would be to get the roll type self adhesive that may work for the bigger magnets.. they do carry several different sizes of lamination. :confused3
 

I have my sign all ready to be made. I just don't have software to do it! So....I am doing it like a scrap page and then try to copy it and print it on magnetic paper. It won't look as great, but it will be a sign!

I do everything here too and I will pack for DH and DS!

As for the shirts... I don't know if they will wear special shirts for the first day, but if I can get some done I will. Otherwise, I'll wear lime green and one of my piglet pins so you recognize me! Men are fuddy duddies some times!

My dh knows about the shirts, but not about the embroidery. I figure I can spring it on it Saturday morning!:rotfl2:

Yeah why is that?? darn men:rotfl2: my dh will wear it just as long as it is simple and in a color that doesnt clash with his red hair :rolleyes1 i will probably end up getting a different color for each one of us so i know they will wear them. and since i am packing the overnite bag they wont have a choice but to wear them that day.:lmao: i am packing the suitcases for the cruise but they will stay in the van while we are at the hotel and i am packing just an overnite bag for the nite at the hotel. that way we don't have to unload a bunch of stuff just to repack it. only will need to grab the overnite bag and the toiletry bag and thats it. :thumbsup2
 
I'm cracking up! Men! :confused3
I ordered Red Polo shirts from Disney Shopping today because that's the only color they had for all of us (though DS had to get a girl shirt - but I saw no difference). I showed DH and he said ok. I figure since I do the packing he'll wear what I pack. Its the least he can do ;) And I will definitely be doing all the packing. I had DH pack his own stuff for New Years Eve - short weekend trip to Toronto. I figured we were staying at best friends what could he forget that he really needed. I told him to pack his CPAP machine (for sleep apnea) and he did. Of course he forgot the distilled water, the humidifier that goes with it, and best of all... the electric cord that makes it work! Unbelievable!

I want to post my door signs but I guess I need a photobucket account (which I must already have since my email address is taken):sad2: If I ever figure it out, I'll try posting.
 
KimC.....I loved your little sailing dude smilies, so I borrowed them for my siggy too! They are so cute!

Good deal! I like the way you phrased yours better - "cruise" instead of "tour" so I made off with it like a kleptomaniac!

Hey I noticed your internet post! I see I'm not the only one annoyed by the removal of the unlimited internet service. DH quit his job and started his own biz a few weeks ago. Its an internet type of biz. He's gonna need to spend at least an hour a night or early morning online - so this is going to get expensive. It will cost us at least double, if not more. 4 hours is not a lot of internet for $100. :sad2:

Yeah...I won't be doing a "live from the May 5th Magic" trip report this time!:rotfl:
 
I too will post pics of my signs as soon as I figure it out. :rotfl2:

I have made one that has the Disboards Rock and has my online name on it and several Disney touches.

Then I made one using a premade scrapbook page that was sectioned off into different size quadrants. I'm just going to put a cardboard back on it to make it stronger. This one will have a pic of me and dh on it I think and I have all the quadrants decorated with various vacation or disney embellishments.

Then I am letting the kids share one. All of mine are small. Thats why there will be 3 of them.

I gained 1/2 a lb this week :rolleyes1 . I'll do better next week. I hope :yay:

I am thinking of buying polos from Disney shopping.com also. I saw them on there the other night and they are real cheap. I'm also going to make my final payment in the next day or too. :cool1: dh got his annual sick pay bonus check and it will cover 98% of it. We can handle that. Although, he reminded me that $$$ would have been enough to buy a new mower (we bought 5 acres last year and have been borrowing his dads). So he told me that this summer when I'm push mowing the yard, I better think only "magic"al thoughts :boat: and not gripe. :rotfl2: :rotfl2: YEA RIGHT!!!

Have a great weekend!!!

I love our new title it makes us easier to pick out on the list :thumbsup2

I told my dh that we will just have to get internet withdrawals that week.:rotfl2:


I have actually lost another 1.8 lbs but i am working my butt off to do it.:rotfl2: another 10 to go though and i thik i figured it out that i need to loose like 1.2 lbs min per week to be at the weight i want for the cruise :lmao: hoping i can stay above the 1.2 so i can gain more weight for the cruise. :rotfl2:
 
I had a great time at crop night at the local scrap book store. I got 8 pages done on our 2005 cruise. I am starting to feel more confident so maybe I will start playing around with my door signs this weekend.
This morning I finished making reservations at WDW for dinners and a few breakfasts. Then i started panicking because the Cruise passporter said you needed to have your passport #'s 75 days before the cruise, which brings us back to the Feb. 18th or 19th, depending how you count. My daughter has not put in for Madison's yet, because she hasn't been able to get coordinating schedules to meet her ex-husband at the passport place (the library). Finally we found she could have him fill out a form and have it notorized so that they don't have to be at the same place at the same time. Hopefully he gets it done this weekend so she can go Tuesday. To make a short story long, I called DCL and they said there is not a specific date, just get the passport #'s to them before we leave. :crazy:

Boy that is pushing it on timing. you going to send for it faster by paying the extra price? we did ours just as soon as i booked the cruise and ours took 6 weeks to the date of filing to get back.
 
Ok....here's my attempt at a door sign! I don't have any photoshop software, so you can see I just cut and pasted stuff. When I photocopy it, you can't see all the lines, just a few, so I am hoping I can copy it onto magnetic paper and it will just have to do! Don't laugh!

I used to love Friday Scrap nights at the scrapbooking store! 8 pages - WOW I never completed more than 2 at a time. Of course, we just HAD to take a pizza break - they provided it for us as part of our nominal price to invade their space. Much fun!

As for the passports - you don't have to worry about it because once again the "must have passport" deadline was pushed back. Passports are not required for US citizens! Originally, passports were going to be required for this type of cruise travel beginning this month (1/8/07). But that deadline is pushed back to June of 2009. So of course,when we booked, DCL said we had to give them passport numbers. Now that passports aren't required it stands to reason that DCL can't require our passport numbers (because a lot of people won't have them). Still I would suggest gettng Madison one before you cruise. In the event of an emergency you WILL need a passport to fly back to the US even though US citizens don't need one to enter by ship.

Also, just FYI, make sure your DD knows that while her ex can sign the form and have it notarized (so he doesn't have to be there) Madison will have to go with her to apply for the passport even though she's a minor and can't sign anything.
 
We only have 13 weeks left, :hourglass and they say to leave 6 to 8 weeks for the passports come. I still might want to spring for a speed up version.
Debbie, I love your door sign! I think you did a great job. I have not worked on it at all today. I need to run some errands and then I will be in for the night. Most likely alone, both dd's are out, dgd is at her dad's, and dh is out doing ::cop: work. Aaaahhhhhhhhhh, peace and quiet!:cloud9:

i know if you fill in the area on the application of when your trip is and show them proof they will try and get it to you faster. I know they told us we didnt need the proof since we had plenty of time.
