[BLTOH]

Those of you that are repeat cruiser with Disney, Do any of you recall how much the pictures were at Shutters? Both individual and how many pictures was in the packages? for the life of me i cannot remember and we are probably going to get those this time around and want to make sure i put enough mula in the budget for them.

I am going stir crazy here. I went to the ymca and walk 1 1/2 miles came home and was like Now what?? Good thing most of the days are flying by but geesh I want to pack my bags now

Well, I just wanted to say that I hope you all have a great cruise. We are not going to be able to cruise at this time either. We are expecting our 4th child the 29th of May, so I don't think they are going to allow me to cruise. Anyways, We are trying to figure out when our next one is going to be, and so far it looks like Feb 2008. That is such a long ways away! I don't think I can wait!

Have a great time & think of us!

BUDGET?

yeah that thing we all try to stay on but always fails in ending up spending more then you can afford anyways??

But joking aside i am trying to set back what i need for this vacation as we are on a strict budget in general right now with big bills coming in. would rather be prepared then not have enough to enjoy the vacation KWIM??

Tracy, I was surfing last night and I came across a sight talking about shutters. I will see if I can find it again. But if memory serves me right, I sort of remember seeing 10 6 x 8"s for $84 and it went up from there. I think...

Monday I went into a nearby scrapbooking store and they were having a sketch class that night. I don't know how to scrap book but the lady assured me I would be able to do it. See below the reason I wanted to take this class. No pictures yet, but I am sure in a few months I will be able to fill the pages and more!

Wow ...what a neat pirate layout! Geez...maybe mine pages would be better if I took a class sometime. I'm afraid to go though.

I just bought that paper a few weeks ago!

Thanks Debbie. I have loved all of your pages and I am surprised you haven't taken any classes. You have a talent for this. Maybe after a few classes I will feel comfortable playing by myself. There were lots of very talented women in the class. They brought some albums and pages they had worked on. WOW!! You should try some classes. I have been quilting for about 20 years now and I still learn so much at classes. And it's fun talking to other women and share ideas.

Nope not really having fun..it's been in the 20's all weekend so far but i worked today and then had some running around to do..been trying to get cuaght up on cleaning and such..last week was not a good week for my diet..not giving up though..i did try on my size 8's and YES i could get into them but they are very snug in the tummy area yet.

i did buy magnet sheets today and more transfer paper as well. so tomorrow i will be making door magnets and dd's other t-shirt for the trip.

i am very impatient for my passporter book..i want it now..lol only a few more weeks and we will all be planning our excursions and such.. How many of you are driving yourselves nuts with the wait ? i am.

Thanx for the info on the shutters.. I am setting enough back for one of the smaller packages i think. I don't forsee them taking a huge amount of pictures. Do they do the picture cards like they do at disney world? that would be kewl if they did. i did write down notes that i want a formal picture, one of embarkation, and one of pirates nite ( at least of the kids)

awseome pirate pages..wish i could find something like that around here. maybe once we get back i will sit my happy but down and get my scrapbooking stuff going. i'm just not very creative when it comes to that stuff.

speaking of pirates..are any of you dresing up on pirate nite? we are taking dd's pirate outfit and we got the 15 yr old the eye patch and such but i am trying to decide if i should just get a striped shirt to semi look dressed up or just dress casual. i know dh wont dress up unless i push the issue. hmm..too many decissions to make.

I had lost 5lbs finally and then last week I got a cold and ate to make me feel better and gained 3lbs back!

Last time for Pirate night I just wore a striped shirt and capri's and the boys wore Pirates of the Carribean shirts that we got in DL. Might do the same thing this time and I got a pirate T-shirt too. Not into the costume thing here.

The small $84 package is what we got last time at Shutters. It was perfect for us. We didn't stand in line for most of the Characters, so didn't need all the pictures. I think the 6x8's were $10ea, so I traded one for 2 of the pre-printed ($5) ones of the ship in the ports.

Just wanted to say hello from Innsbruck,Austria!! We are looking forward to our cruise on May 5th!! This will be our first cruise and our 1st real vacation with our 3 year old son! I hope to see some of you there!!
p.s. Could any of you in the cold northwest send some snow our way so we can finally go skiing!!!????

 

[sherrie]

Welcome VLF not much time left, I think it will go quickly now.

Congrats Ppiglet on the weight loss, I just saw some of the pics on the food thread and gained 5 lbs just looking at them.

Hello all fellow cruisers are you all getting the same panic attacks that i am suddenly getting about planning. Still havent bought my airline waiting for southwest to release the may 12 date.

Hello, Fellow Cruisers!

Another question for you veterans from a 1st timer:

The big appeal of Key West is supposed to be its breath-taking sunset. Approximately what time will that be when we are there on May 6? We have a late dinner seating, and it appears as though we will miss it.

Ok, I said A question, but here's another:

What is the system for calling passengers to board? Does it go by how early one arrives at the terminal? I know that the terminal opens at about 10:00, but is it worth one's time to arrive so early?
