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

[faireygod mother]

I have been thinking (here lies the problem) about the bracelets. There is no guarantee we will get both stops at CC. There is a high probability we will sail on 11/11/06. There is also a high probability we are all DIS members. So having the bracelet reflect DIS ney 11/11/06 cruisers is pretty accurate.

Just something to think about.

hi everyone, been gone for awhile, alot of axe murdering going on in Philly! Glad I was able to chat last week - gotta work early tommorrow. Catching up on the bracelets - never thought we may not double dip - but in keeping with the "dipping" I thought of the Beaches and Cream Soda Shop at BeachClub (my home resort) and thought how about something like "DISney Beaches and Dream Cruise" - or how about a pirate theme - Its A Disney MAGIC Cruise, SAVVY?" Give me some time, I'll run some thought through Patrol and acouple prisoners, ha!
Welcome David and Monica - I'll also be an empty nester at the cruise - find me in the hot tub! Welcome Favorite Auntie - can relate to that - turned 50 couple weeks ago - co-workers gave me a Jack Sparrow Doll for my desk!! Sounds like we are going to have a great CREW!
By the way, practicing with the avatars - photo of me and my yorkie, Mufasa. Photos of Jack Sparrow (my shihtzu coming soon!)

OK, the idea of a Yorkie named Mufasa just cracks me up! I thought that is what that little ball of fluff was...kind of hard to see in your avatar. Post some puppy dog pictures

 

[dizney-cruiser]

we are so close to hitting the 100 page mark - lets get some chatter going!!

sarah? where are you??

 

[ibouncetoo]

Morning cruisers! Are we at page 100 yet?

 

[ibouncetoo]

OK, NOW are we at page 100?

Yeah baby! Now let's work on that 1500 post mark!

My pal geffric is leaving on her cruise in two weeks.....boy sure wish I could tag along. I hear a whole block of rooms on the 3/25 Magic were recently 'released', so there's room if anybody needs a DCL fix. I bet there might be a few upgrades in store for some folks on that cruise, as well as some FL discounts and CM offerings. Also was a rumor DCL told them that cruise wouldn't have staggared dining times since the ship wasn't full....but you know how one CM can get something wrong and the rumors will fly!

Well, I suppose I should get ready for work.....maybe a few more minuits of DISing

 

[dizney-cruiser]

oh - that would be interesting if they changed from the staggered seating - i dont think we will have that issue since us disboard folks have it almost all full!

 

[Hannosmom]

Sarah's still sleeping, that lazy little bedbug , so I will post for her. (Boy howdy, will I hear it when she gets up and reads this) ( Love you, Chichihoney!)

 

[chichihoney]

i'm awake now honey was kissing me and waking me up and pawed me on my face and daisy was on my bed

 

[faireygod mother]

Good Day all

It is beautiful weather here. Hope everyone is doing well.

Apparently it isn't the case for their cruise either....probably another case of a misguided CM.

 

[CJLKIM]

Not far to go until post #1500.....we're almost there.

Just thought I'd check in since I haven't been around much....

I'm cool with the bracelets. I'm still leaning towards the original "Double Dip" theme..something like DISney MAGICal Double Dip 11/11/06...you know what I mean...but I'll go along with whatever the majority decides.

I have looked a little at excursions but haven't been too serious about it since I'm dividing my time between so many upcoming events. Won't really be able to focus on excursion ideas until we have another family meeting to see what everyone would like to do...although Heather has a bunch on the wishlist I think already.

We got cruise dresses for Heather (the 11 yr old)....on sale . Had to get them bigger because her hormones are starting to kick in and she's gaining a few "curves". I won't mention how she's jumped 1-2 whole pants sizes in the last few months...(sorry Heather if you're reading this)....she's really trying to get away from her "Bones" nickname!

Ordered my wedding dress...I'm down another whole size since the December cruise. Got it an additional $50.00 off since the store is running a special sale right now. Also got the various savings on bridesmaids and etc. all locked in so that the girls can order when they are ready. Jeff's best man races motocross and his wife (my Matron-of-honor) will be stuck at the track every weekend beginning later this month so we needed to make sure the store would be ready for her to order whenever she had a minute to spare and get up there. Also makes it easier now for me having my gown out of the way to budget for the three bridesmaids dresses that Jeff and I are buying since they are for the kids. Also busy looking at cakes, flowers and other misc. wedding stuff.

Since I booked the honeymoon cruise....Eastern itinerary for Nov. 07...I have also been taking peeks at the excursions for the Eastern ports....shall we hit Orient Beach???

Although busy...all seems well in my little part of the world! I'm so ready for spring...then summer....and finally fall....Got our April edition of Cruise Travel magazine and what is on the cover (and the ship of the month) but the Wonder....just the Disney fix I needed for today.....

Hope all is well everyone else's way.....

Apparently it isn't the case for their cruise either....probably another case of a misguided CM.

it did seem highly unlikely to me - that would have to mean that the cruise would only be half full - and im thinking that would never happen on a disney cruise (i wish they had a jiminy cricket smile!)

Sleeping until 11 am!
What a Lazy Bones.....don't know about a bedbug though????​

Yippee - it is FRIDAY...off to work and then home to pack boxes...
my digital camera broke, my pipes have leaks, I have a runaway plumber but life is good.....................​

BECAUSE 8 months from today I will be boarding a plane for ORLANDO
or mecca as it is known in our house....

Is DIZ NURSE Packed Yet? I know Dee is!​

Have a Happy Day...​

Still throwing out at bracelet idea:
DISney MAGIC BEACHES and DREAMS Cruise

What do yous think?

 

[ibouncetoo]

35 WEEKS!

35 weeks and we'll be on the plane.....dining at Boma....viewing the animals at AKL....sleeping in our savanah view room and having our last night of dreaming about the MAGIC!

And in 22 WEEKS.....I have to pay for it

 

[dizney-cruiser]

oh i like the weeks countdown!!

im getting my taxes done tonight - so i hope to pay off the cruise when all that dough comes rolling in! wish me luck and send me pixie dust!!

 

[ibouncetoo]

AnniM, I added that one to the list.



OMG! Those puppies! My cat really wants me to get a dog...she loves little dogs. Really, TiggersPal, it's not me, it's Acoma who wants a dog. She loves it when TiggersPal's min-pins come to visit!

Crikey, almost time to get ready for work...another hellish Friday expected because everyone waits till the last minute to get things done! ARRRRRG! Well, I'm on vacation in 3 weeks and big sister is coming from Chicago for a visit...I sure am looking forward to that break. Now, if I only could have convinced her to go to Disneyland....oh well.

Have a great Friday everyone!

 

[ibouncetoo]

Janice, good luck and on those taxes....gotta get cracking on mine also...but a major paperwork sorting extravaganza has to happen first. Guess I'll put some old time rock & roll on the CD player Saturday morning and get rolling on that!


YIKES....gotta run!

35 weeks Thanks for reminding us. 35 weeks can't come soon enough.
Had yet another crazy week. Ended up spending Tuesday with Angelina in the emergency room. She was have extra trouble with walking(not that she walks well anyway) the Othropedic could not see her so suggested the hospital Make a really long story shorter, after almost 10 hours they said she had a really bad ingrown toe nail and needed to cut it out. They sedated her and pulled out about a 1/2 inch long nail that was growing down. She has been still picking at it(yuck) and it looks like it is getting infected. So today it will be back to the Dr. This crazyness never ends.
