MICKEY'S PARTY PIRATES! September 7th 2008 - Disney Wonder

[pjstevens]

OK I am out of it. I have never heard of this LUSH that you all speak of. Where in the airport is it? If I have time I will check it out. (I stress the "if I have time" because MCO security can be a nightmare at times)

.

Lush is near the food court, so before any security. I have a hard time eating in the food court if you are close to the lush side the smells can be so strong!

Just in case you have NOT been following along...

Ok that explains it. I spend very little time in that area. I usually just go right to the gate and wait there.(again never knowing how bad it will be at security) If I get there early I will check it out. Thanks!

 

[pjstevens]

Ok, now I know how you missed it then. We always end up there way early (if using ME from the resorts they make you leave soooo early). Also we've been there and had our flight delayed, so we dont' go through security until we HAVE too. We've never experienced a very long wait. There has been long lines, but they move rather quickly.

I don't feel so bad now, cause I too have never heard of LUSH.......but, next time (like in 41 days )I'm in Orlando, I will keep my eyes and nose open for LUSH!

Lush is fresh handmade cosmetics and bath items. They have all natural stuff. My kids love the bath bombs (and when I finally get around to taking a bath I do too). They are fun, smell great, and feel great. They are really big, so I usually will break mine and get a couple baths out if one. Honestly, if my sil hadn't bought the kids stuff from there one year (she does all online shopping due for the holidays) I dont' know if we would of known about it. If you like the Basin store at the GF or DTD then you'll like Lush, it's very similar.

 

[Eeyore's Tailfinder]

I agree - I LOVE Lush - they are very green and natural too. They now use popcorn as packaging as it is biodegradable!

Go check out their website, you can also order online! I think I've tried everything in Lush at one point The names of some of the stuff are really cute!

 

[Justthe8ofus]

I've started looking for a part time job. I haven't had a paying job in over 14 years I'm looking to work just while the kids are in school so I know it might be tough to find something. Wish me luck.

Today had kind of a cruise theme to it. First I got my fish extender. It is absolutely gorgeous, but unfortunately my name is misspelt (Corina instead of Corinna). Then I received the beads for the FE gifts for the cruise on the Magic and even so I had to rush of to work pretty much straight after and have not been home long either, I managed to make about 20 already.
When I came home from work, I checked the DCL website as I always do and I am no longer a category 11 GTY. We have stateroom 6521, which is one of the sideways state rooms. I think I am pretty happy with this, but trying to find out more about it at the moment.

Corinna, sorry to hear your name was misspelled. Is there time to have it redone before you leave?

Congrats, sounds like you got upgraded!!!! Your on level six now (instead of WAY down on level two, so that's great, especially when we are delivering FE gifts, lol).

Thanks Mary. I got my list all ready. Do you mind sharing your children's names? (if you'd rather not post on the public forum, you can use the Yahoo site). I want to label my kids gift items.

Corinna

That's a bummer about your name spelled incorrectly. Are you going to send it back for correction? I'm guessing 6521 is still category 11 since it's the number of an inside room. Sideways is interesting. Is that layout better than the conventional room layout? We're in a category 11 this time, and I'm hoping we don't regret it. We're used to a category 6. A lot of people on the board say it doesn't matter whether you have a balcony or not and it's a waste of money, but I wonder how many of them every stayed in balcony room.

Mary, I will pray you find just the right situation workwise.

 

[olygrad2002]

6511 is our home away from home...stayed in it for our honeymoon...and in it again on this trip...we will be just 5 rooms (10 numbers) away from you Corinna. The sideways rooms are cool, the door to the stateroom is in the center. In ours the bathroom, closet and area for luggage was to the left. The seating area (coffee table, couch, & tv) was in the center and the bed and desk area was to the right of the door. Plenty of space for just the two of us, and even though it is "so far forward" as the guy stated in the review, we never felt the boat moving. I look forward to seeing you all aboard...*0*

 

[Eeyore's Tailfinder]

Corinna, congrats on being upgraded!! Sounds like most people are on Level 6 here! What a shame your FE was spelt wrongly

Right, first post is updated with all recent stateroom information.

The kiddies' stuff has just started arriving the morning to DBF's work, so I haven't had a chance to see any of it yet! They are sorted. I can't put them in their bags beforehand, they will get squashed in the cases so I will have to put them together when I get on the ship.

For the adults, I am getting something where I am from - I would like to get something extra too, although I have no idea what. I'd like to bring you all a treat from Wales, but would be 17 days from when I left home until it reached you all and I don't want to chance it! I might get a little something extra in WDW for everybody

Can I ask, what are the names of all the children? I'd like to put their names on the tags

I am not sure. I have send her a message about the problem, but have not heard back yet.

Sorry about confusing everybody. The the sideways stateroom is for the cruise on the Magic prior to ours. On our cruise we are still in 2068. Although I am thrilled about sideways stateroom on the Magic, I would have been less than impressed if we had been swapped to this on the Wonder. It is still a category 11 and on the Wonder we paid for a category 9.

FE gifts for the cruise on the Magic are going well. I have 77 made. Once they are done, I can concentrate on goodies for our cruise.

Corinna
