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

[GrayFal]

Pat, Linda, Sarah, Jen have a WONDERFUL time at WDW. Give Tigger a hug for me. Are you going to eat at LeCellier or 50's Prime Time? They are two of my favorites and I've missed them both the last two times I was there

....

We decided not to eat - we did it last year and it took too much TIME..so we are going to graze our way around the parks -
and I never travel without string cheese

She was so sweet Angie had been given a plastic neckales and took it off to give Dore.

So sweet!!!


Melanie...hang in there and Guten Morgen!

Woody...must have been a GREAT time! Did you have to pull Mrs. Woody off the chandeliers, again?

Peg...EIGHT pairs of shoes?? Geez, I should have come shoe shopping at your house. (Sissy and I both found black shoes yesterday! She was ecstatic to learn that we vetoed her white sandals to wear with her Snow White dress....just HAD to go shopping!)

Have fun east coast Mickey crew!!

Good Morning Cruisers.

20 days to go!! Tomorrow we'll be in our teens again!

In case anyone is curious, I did decide to cancel the Dolphin thing (just too many negative reviews about the DCL one and DS isn't old enough for the one Jackie is doing) and booked the Atlantis Submarine. It has only great reviews that I have seen. Anyone else doing it in Cozumel?

Haven't planned anything for Costa Maya. I've read it is a better port to just walk around a while.

As for planning, yesterday, after hours of trying on , I bought my Formal night dress. It is actually floor length! Wow, what fun!! As I am the only girl in our house, it was exciting for everyone. Now, even Dh is excited about Formal night.

Well, the four German inlaws invaded today for their 12 day univited visit. I am SOOOOOOO going to need this vacation when it's over....

Hang in there! At least you have this cruise to look foward to at the end. If the going gets tuff just remember it all ends with a cruise!

 

[clynne]

Jennifer...we have no plans in Cozumel, still! (I'm trying, unsuccessfully, to not be annoyed with this fact!) I'm going to go look for reviews of the Atlantis submarine...

I have yet another question. Who is into pin trading? I think it would be fun if a bunch of us are pin traders to set up a little pin trading meet. What do you think?

We are on the Atlantis Submarine trip in Cozumel, I don't remember if there were diffferent times but we are on the 11:45 trip, glad to see so many good reviews about the sub trip and too bad about dolphin encounter. Hope to see you there.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the kind words. I'm in here hiding now reading the DISboards instead of facing the breakfast crowd and fighting for hot water shower time....

wendyjersey, et. al--this is what I had planned to do all along instead of buttons. (They've been in my shipping box for awhile!) I just cut out four of the alien green Home Depot paint chips and put in four safety pins in a ziploc bag. Wrote my screen name and real name on them. Left the family's blank in case they balked. But that could be a quick, cheap (free!) alternative to buttons.

Jackie et al...for those of you, who might be a wee bit "fluffy" (as txaggie likes to call it!) and looking for swimsuits I found a great site, recommended by Land's End when I called to ask about a swimsuit but they had none that would fit my bust. (That's what FIVE STRAIGHT years of breastfeeding gets ya--yes, I'm still nursing a three year old!) She recommended www.swimsuitsjustforus.com I ordered two (beware: they are not cheap) and LOVE them. They are very flattering and one actually does appear to make me smaller and control my bust (40DDD) while the other is actually stylish and attractive! The best of both worlds! And they shipped quickly so you have time to get them before you cruise. Might want to check them out....

Txaggiegigem--what's the final DIStag count? It's past the deadline!!

You are a person true to your word. Guess you are a very trustworthy person.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for that link. I ordered two...two different sizes/styles, so hopefully one will work. Plus I should have them in five days, so I have time to try again if they don't. I'll try posting a picture of the 'perfect but might not fit' one:

The October double dip docked at Cozumel. Sail away was 9:30P, Pirate night was held as normal. So, if you choose to stay in Cozumel for dinner, you will miss pirate dinner, but not the party. I don't know if any of you were aware that the previous week's regular Western docked at Cozumel and stayed till 1AM and MOVED pirate night to Tuesday (and still had Twice Charmed that night)????? Next batch of regular Western people are fretting over this (especially those who have Palo for Tuesday night). Hopefully, since last week's double dip was back to 'as planned' DCL won't repeat that madness.

I will be receiving Oct double dip Navigators in the mail, so we'll have those if nobody posts any in the meantime.

Hi Pat and thanks everyone for the welcome. We're beyond excited! This is our first family cruise and our first visit to a Disney place of any kind. Our family consists of me(Tracey) DH (Neil) DD(Talia) and DS(Benjamin).

I can't wait to get there and hopefully we'll get to meet some of you.

 

[miatamel]

Jackie, I'm so happy you liked the site! I ordered the red/black swirls because it was recommended by them for my big ole bust and it really did seem to make me smaller all over (which I didn't think possible) and it's an added plus that the red/black looked "Mickey-ish" and will go great with the Mickey flip flops I made for the pool. I also ordered the Tunisian swimdress because the aqua/brown colors were so pretty and I didn't feel so old and matronly, but young and trendy, for a change. TWICE in two weeks I've been asked if my kids were my GRANDkids (YIKES!!) so I'm feeling very old and worn out and anything to help my mood on this is much appreciated and very welcome! (Even though I AM probably old enough to be their grandmom...meanwhile Hottie Husband continues to get hired by single women and little old ladies all over town because he's so, well, easy on the eyes...sigh....)
okay, I'm still hiding out. I really need to go face the Germans even though I have NO clue what they are saying and just sit there like a big ole knot on a log....

 

[TiggersPal]

Happy Sunday! Well, my piles of clothes *and yes shoes) are set up in the guest bedroom (my dog Hope really thinks of this as "her" room) and because I didn't cover the bed, she's decided it's ok for me to put stuff there. Frankly, I think they are just happy that the bags didn't come out and Mom left!

Pat - thank you SO much for posting the photos. I love seeing the smiling faces of people we feel we have gotten to know and I am so happy to see princess Sarah!!!! And her lovely mother as well! You guys all looked so happy in the pictures - but hey, how could you not Disney is Disney after all.

Melanie - thanks for posting the swim suit site and now my sister can have a lovely suit she's happy with.

Jackie- thanks again for spending all that time with me, going through all the clothing options and making sure I have the right clothing for each event. And yes, you can borrow my shoes.

I know have to track down some alternative to "formal" night. My original pick just might not work too well. I did find a top yesterday but had to hide it and go back today as their facilities were broken and the check-out line was too long. (Did I reveal too much?) Sorry folks - !!!

WELCOME DRAGONFLY!!!

CLynne - I can attest to the happiness Miss M must have felt when she heard that she can get new shoes.

I have to have a pair of pants hemmed, still have to find my hiking pants and need a formal outfit. And only 20 days left!!!! YIKES!!!

Why don't you take your revenge out on him then. That would be sweet. Just what could you do that would make him sweat a little. I'm sure you could pull something out of your sleeve. I'm all for watching this

This is OCOPD's Son. I am a really nice guy, who really loves his mother! However the first chance I get to prank, or laugh at her expense I am all over it! So WendyJersey, come watch the show! What part of Jersey are you from? I(we) used to live in Jersey and my father and his wife still does. I also see that you were on a NCL cruise the same month we were, small world! FGM was as well, guess she would have already said if we were on there the same time. Look forward to meeting you, what did you think of NCL?

Anyone up for helping me get momma dukes out of my house on the first of Dec?

 

[TiggersPal]

I cannot wait to meet you! And I can't even say why....

 

[ibouncetoo]

James, James, James after three times posting under you mom's signature, I'd say it's time to get your own. OH WAIT, that would mean you are joining the cult, wouldn't it?

TiggersPal, remember "What happens in Vegas (and the stories told there), stays in Vegas"

I also bought a new suit - guess what .... IN KIWI!!! Closest to Dis green I could get !

I'm so happy - now only for formal wear!

Yes it would, I actually have one but I do not remember it! I am the one that turned my momma dukes onto this forum, IF I ONLY KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW I would do it again. She has met some pretty nice people on here. Thanks All!! PS, Sig is done for now!
