November 11, 2006 - MAGIC - Special Western "Double Dip" Cruise 11/11/06

Hmmmmmmm I seem to recall you didn't get one for YOURSELF! Probably because you don't want a mess of wacko's approaching you constantly, eh?

After reading 270 pages of posts, you are right on. Who would really want to get stopped by this group of nuts?

After looking at the bracelets, and seeing how cool they look, I've been thinking of keeping one of the adult sizes for myself, and not giving them to the other family. I'll just tell them they ordered to late!

Either way, these bracelets, plus the green boas, plus all those people hanging baskets on the doors will stick out like sore thumb and scream "I'm a DISer!!!"

We have main (early) seating for dinner. We requested the latest time (6pm) as that was more important to us than the rotation. We had APL last time, and it was fun, but we felt like we didn't really get to enjoy the whole "show" in Animators because we had not had a chance to really relax and get into cruise mode yet. The kids we so hyped about being on the ship, that they would not have noticed if the walls were pink with flashing lime green spots, let alone changing from black and white to color.

Good evening everyone! I haven't been here in 24 hours, and everyone has been very busy. It took a while of reading to catch up.

We're the odd people out. We have late seating, and requested the LAP roatation, as Lumiere's is my favorite restaurant. Both DS and DD got seasick in AP both times that we were ther last year, so it is not our favorite , and we choose to go to Palo during our second AP night. We also like that LAP has the latest dining time, so we don't have to rush in ports, and can fully enjoy the family activity in Studio Sea. We also get the latest breakfast on the last day, so we can linger and be the last off the ship!

i cannot wait!!! we are getting so excited and counting down the days but still so much to do (you know i still have not lost that 100 pounds yet.... )

i still need to make my door magnets, distag magnets, distag goodie bags, pack and clean house....my mom is coming to my house to watch the two kids that are not going with us and my house needs to be SPOTLESS!!!!

 

[txaggie94gigem]

is anyone else on fall break right now??? we are going to fright noght at six flags in dallas for the weekend....once we get back i can finally focus on my disney cruise!

we have decided to sneak in a day at animal kingdom on friday....my youngest has never been there and i am hoping to catch a sneak preview of the nemo musical show opening later in nov....my husband has also promised me that i can spend some time at the world of disney store in downtown disney ....so i may already need more luggage before we even board the ship!!

 

[txaggie94gigem]

for those shipping boxes to the room.......

are you sending them via post office, ups, or fed ex? when do you think we have to send them by????

i kepp debating whether or not to get a basket from shirley...the cheap part of me says NO! You could make a $50 basket for about $15!!! but the loving mom in me makes me want to surprise my boys.....i will have to see which side wins out....i guess i can always work more overtime!!!

 

[ibouncetoo]

I was just reading the shipping boxes info this afternoon. They HAVE to be at the warehouse by Friday 5PM for a Saturday cruise. I'm going to use Fed Ex or UPS as they can be tracked. So I'll probably send my on Tuesday with a 3 day delivery....but maybe Monday just to be safe.

 

[Vanvmom]

ARGHHHH! My middle DS's teacher just asked me to coach their 8 member 5th grade verse choir team for the Oral Language Fair. Now, it's not the coaching part that stesses me out here, but I have to find material for them by this weekend! I've never done Oral Language before, but used to student coach for HS speech competitions YEARS ago. I don't even know where to start looking!

 

[dizney-cruiser]

still no bracelets here yet - but as i said, we have the worst mailman!! my sister has already informed me she will not be wearing hers at anytime in the sun - she is all about her tan and cant risk have a ring on her wrist!

i called shirley yesterday and added two underwater disposable camera's to our basket - if anyone is interested - she charges $15 each - i felt that was easier then me putting something else on my list to pick up

im thinking i still might not get the distag game - i saw someone said something about making magnets for this game - what are they supposed to be? and how many people are we up to now? did we hit the cut off time?

have a great day!
see you soon!

sarah - stop defending toon town and come out and say hello!

 

[michelle9343]

Good Morning
My question for to day....where will you eat once on the Magic.Topsiders or Parrot Cay?I LOVE to eat outside ,but the idea of not having to jockey everything while looking for a seat sounds sooooo good.

 

[shelwoj]

Good morning. We got the bracelets yesterday and like everyone has said they are cool. Jackie, I'm sorry your check is still sitting here, in the envelope stamped, but I keep forgetting to put it in the mail. Don't feel that it's just you, my niece's birthday is Saturday and her card is sitting with your check! I'll get it out asap. Thank you for all this work.

As far as the buttons go, it looks like it isn't going to happen. No one can get ahold of the lady that has the machine. I'm sorry. I was being nice when I said she is flighty!

Everyone have a good day.

[WendyJersey]

Good morning all. Boy it sure gets busy on this thread. I was on it at 7:30 last night for a while and still alot of posts to read this morning. Well got through them but don't have time to reply to anything. I am also interested in what Dizney asked about the magnets. I guess you make one for each person participating for their doors am I correct. Got to run and get to work. By the way what is the cut off for joining in the games. If I decide to join want to be able to get everything done this weekend. Have a great day all.

I think we are going to hit Topsider's for the welcome lunch if the weather is good...if not then it's PC for us.

Is anyone else going to put a magnetic wipeon/off board on the outside of their door? Since we no longer have connecting rooms I was thinking that was the best way to keep track of everyone.

 

[pandamom]

We are planning on putting wipeon/off boards on our cabin

and Good Morning everyone!!!!

 

[ibouncetoo]

Morning!



NO...YOU DO NOT HAVE TO MAKE MAGNETS FOR THE TAG GAME!
txaggie will give you one ONE magnet with your list of cabin numbers. You take the magnet and the gift and place it on the door of the tagged person. You will get a magnet on your door when you are first tagged....you take THAT magnet and you next gift to the next person on your list. The magnet indicates that you have been tagged and the gift hanging from your 'fish' is a tag gift. As some folks may be leaving surprises for each other that are not part of the tag game, the magnet helps indicate this particular 'surprise' is for the tag game. BTW, I suggest you place the magnets above 'child' height on the door OH....cut off is 10/21, so she should be giving you a final count then.

Yes, we will have a grease board on our door, a small one in lime green (of course!). I'm thinking we should have one INSIDE so Peg and I can leave each other messages if anyone wanders off while the other is sleeping.

The plan is for Parrat Cay for embarkation lunch (Peg has the right of veto if the day is just too glorious and she wants to hunt for an outside table at topsiders while schlepping carryons). Oh, and I don't think I answered the arrival question either.....we're being picked up from AKL at 10...so should be at the terminal at 11AM WEARING our boas of course!

OK....gotta take the car in this morning.....nasty rattle, hope it's not a $$ fix! Oh well, at least there will be Disney rewards involved.

 

[TiggersPal]

Ok let me get this straight. APL rotation for us ? And we'll be eating at Parrot Cay ? Is that a sit down place? Just curious.

I'm watching Megan Mullally's show (talk show) this morning, as I'm under the weather. But she's got Merv Griffin on. Did you know he wrote the tune for jeopardy? He created that show too... he owns the Wigwam Resort out here... just thought I'd give you some trivia this morning.

Ok, be back later. Need more tea.

Just taking a moment to wish each of you a wonderful cruise. I had the pleasure of meeting Disneynut 1955, Vanvmom and Needalatte on my last cruise. They are wonderfull people and I am thrilled to hear that they will be together again on this cruise. Please book a brunch at Palo for me. Have a second helping of the stollen with berries and cream! At dinner order the chocolate souffle and the Panna Cotta for desert. No matter how FULL you are those two items are not to be missed. Have fun, enjoy, and may your days be filled with excitement. Safe travels!!!
