May 5th 2007 Western Magic CINCO DIS MAYO!

[seeboo]

well looks like you and me karen are the only ones left waiting for our docs..maybe they are saving the best for last??

I am still waiting for our docs. I think they think here in Wyoming we still get our mail by pony express. LOL

I did use a travel agent for my booking so that might be why it is taking some time.

Well I feel like I am ready for the cruise because I am now finally starting to show my tan. People are noticing that I have been getting some sun. I will be ready to sit out on the sun deck and people watch. I do hope it is nice and warm by sail time. I need to warm up. It is snowing in the mountains again, so it will be snowing by night time.

Hi. I want to join the roll call for this cruise. Hope I am doing it correctly.
Toni & Sam from Kansas City, MO - 1st Disney Cruise

 

[ToniB]

Does anyone know how much it costs for the cruise ship folks to press a suit or shirt on the ship?

 

[ToniB]

Hi Kimberly,

I received an error message when I sent this to you.

I tried to post our names to the roll call and I don't think it worked.

What I wanted to list is

Toni & Sam - 1st Disney Cruise

Thanks for your help.

welcome toniB..
on regards to the ironing thing are you aware that they have wrinkler releaser spray out that you just spray on and smooth out your clothes? i also posted a recipe for a homemade version within the past couple pages on this board..would save ya some money in having to pay disney to do it.. we will do ours with the spray the first nite and just hang them up out of the way so all we have to do is grab and go then and only have to worry about minor wrinklers later.


seeboo i thought i had seen a post that you did receive yours..ok maybe i was seeing things

 

[sherrie]

Welcome aboard Toni, Not sure on the ironing thing although my freind said the dry cleaning was very inexpensive.

yeah STILL WAITING!!! Okay my life is waiting. I AM NOT A PATIENT PERSON. I know it is something I need to work on, but I hate WAITING! *sigh* I guess there is nothing I can do, for it is out of my hands. Waiting for the doc and waiting for passports. Those should have been overnight on Thursday. So I think I will have to be on hold for 20 mins on monday to see if they are coming.

My DH went down to UTAH on his own today and picked out his suit. He needed a new suit since his last one was 10+ years old and wool. So I sent him with a need for a light weight suit and a price limit. It will be ready next weekend. Talk about waiting till the last min.

Now my mother-in-law has left and left an empty room, so there is a good place I can start stacking up cruise stuff. YEAH I can get the suitcases out and start them to be packed just to repack agian...

Welcome Toni!

I cannot believe that we leave a week from Tuesday. I have our luggage and clothes in piles in the living room. I bought a few snacks from Sams yesterday, but I'm going to Wal-Mart in a few (since I'm kid and hubby free) to get some necessities (Mtn. Dew) and some other stuff.

We are all getting ants in our pants to go and I don't see how we will possibly get any sleep next Monday night knowing that we will be leaving within hours (approx 4AM depending) My dh is a firefighter and he is on duty Monday, but he took off from 7PM that night on. That should allow him to get a few hours of sleep before we hit the road. We want to get past Knoxville before rush hour.

I hope everyone has a terrific week!

Karen

We do the same thing with the wrinkle releaser. We spray all clothes the 1st night and smooth them out and I am a true believer! I think I will try and post a pic of what we look like. Its always nice for me to put faces with names! Are any of the kids planning on going to the clubs for 9yr olds ( I can't remember the age bracket for that club) I know Kaylin will go if she has a friend but will be quite shy on her own at first.

Kim

How many of you are driving?

 

[sherrie]

Kim ,katie will be going to the older kids club.

 

[lorilicapri]

Still no cruise docs for us The TA we used couldn't read the release form I signed for her to charge my Credit Card. I signed it almost 8 months ago. So they were holding my docs until I signed a new release, which I did immediatley. You would of thought they would of needed a new form before they could charge my card?

 

[Madisonznana]

I got quite a bit of packing done today. Making sure I have some of everyone's clothes and some of every type of clothes in each bag. I have been paying attention! I can probably finish me for sure by tomorrow. oh, except for the dress shoes that I should be wearing around the house to stretch them out a bit and remember how to walk on 2" heels. I don't get out much! Madison I can finish within in the next day or so, dh , I think he enjoys making me suffer. I also had oh so much fun doing What a Sunday.
I work tomorrow and have a scrapping class tomorrow evening right after work. Tuesday the temperatures are supposed to start climbing again, so I am going to bite the bullet and turn on the heater in the pool so Madison can practice her swimming. Maybe I can change the look of my pearly white (with freckles) legs!
Have a good night everyone!
Karen

Ok....who turned on the rain? I was just starting to get a nice tan and the last days have been miserable with the rain! I hope it's over soon like you say Karen! If it's raining tomorrow I should at least have the time to get my T-shirts done. I think the next two weeks are just going to fly by for me. I want to get the whole house clean before we leave so it will be so much nicer to be home after the trip.

 

[pppiglet]

Ok..DS just got home from a Pirate fair in Covina today. Guess he's dressing up for Pirate night! He bought a hat, pants, sash, and shirt. His GF bought an outfit too. Maybe she'll let me borrow it!
