November 12, 2005....7 Night Eastern...Who Else?

[DIS NURSE]

You would all have LAUGHED YOUR HEAD OFF in the check out line in Wal Mart this evening watching me just want to get the Hell out of there!

I am not kidding you about the Star Wars Bar comparison......the clerk checking me out was something out of Saturday Night Live! I honestly could not tell "its" gender! No joke! Seriously....a transvestite between the necessary surgeries and I wasn't about to gander a guess! I just kept my eyes on the Bonine and sunscreen I was buying and said as a reply in a deep voice, "yes, debit". Don't get me wrong...I was also buying a million other things......the total came to $222.12! I also got our kids b-day (DS) and some Christmas shopping done 'cause we are coming home after Thanksgiving broke, tan, and fat.


That trip to Wal Mart about took the cake on what I think of the place and its attractions!

The main reason I am posting about such an empty, disfiguring experience is that I finally found the DIS prize!
I bought myself a real, genuine, 100% for sure......"over the door" thing-a-ma-bob, whick-a-ma-jigger! I am so excited now!

Who needs those dumb cruise docs anyway?
I am now the proud owner of an "over the door whootcha-ma-doo!"....many clear pockets to fill with aimless stuff in our stateroom!....like GameBoy rechargers and band aids! Hey....ya' never know!

i got dd some eeyore pj's the other day at walmart (they have a whole disney collection now).

i can see it now, disnurse at the port screaming "WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN DOCS!".

Hi Guys - off to find out what is happening with the storm....Yes, it is all about me as I do not want this to upset the cruise and am worried we may not haave power back. Keep post 1900 for me please as a celebration,,,,,,

 

[chip&dale&fun]

My boyfriend and I are officially joining this cruise, but this thread is way too long to go back through it all!

Glad you were able to get aboard. Welcome.

how many extra green bands do we have? I think we will have more new friends as the cruise get closer. Stop lurking you guys and start posting.

 

[awoltoday]

most of the places give out free samples of the local specialities so you could go that route, of course you may end up crawling back to the boat

we will likely grab some of our standby favorites, just got to remember to pack the bubble wrap.

Oh, thanks! FREE SAMPLES! I'm in! (hicup)

Here's the status....

I have 4 set aside for Barkley who told me a long time ago that they wanted to get/pay for theirs on the ship.

I have 5 set aside for STB who didn't get hers in the hurricane mail a couple of months ago.

There's 5 set aside for Patzfanjay & 3 set aside for Feratsu, but I don't have any payment arrangements with either of them.

2 new families have requested bands (jmkclee - 7 bands) & (MADCLFAN - ?? bands).

So, NOT counting those I haven't received payment commitments from, I have 21 left , but at least 15 (+MADCLFAN's) have been spoken for.

If I can get commitments on payment from those that haven't paid and we still have a bunch more peopel that want them, we do have time to place another order. Minimum order is 20 bands & I would recommend just getting mediums.

Let's hear from those of you that haven't paid as to whether you still want them & I'll have a better idea (STB & Barkley - you guys are OK).

 

[4formickey]

since I don't drink, I will need some help in picking good wines that I can cook with. Also I need a good rum for rum cakes.

Hi all...

We are just back from a conference in Phoenix and family is arriving now for a birthday party, so really quick...

YES, we still want bands.

Is anyone else flying in on Sat. Nov. 12, too? We arrive at MCO at 8:30 am, so we hope to be okay. We have a transportation service as it was so much cheaper than Disney's transport for all 7 of us!

Gotcha covered jmclee! I'll have your bands at the 3:00 meet. Too bad I didn't know you were in Phoenix. We could have exchanged bands/$$ here

So, if Feratsu & patzfanjay still want theirs, I have 5 left to cover MADCLFAN (I think they only need 2). The rest are extras.

Choc_Marg,

If you have two bands left, I would be interested in buying them from you at the meet. The bands would be for my kids- so if there's more than one size left, reserve a couple of kid sized ones if possible.
I'm off to look for postcards.
Have a great weekend everyone!

You betcha. I have 1 small left that you can have & the rest are med/larges. So, I'll hold 1 small & 1 med for you. They are $2.85 each.

Just wanted to pass along this web site; birthdayexpress.com. They have some really cute pirate items for children. It's getting close to setting sail, but maybe there is still time to order. And, the banners are really nice!
Looking forward to seeing the ship and all of you!

 

[FairyDisMom]

Choc Marg,

I have an extra band I will bring with me and someone can have that one. I believe the extra one is a medium.

Any Costco members out there??? Yesterday the girls and I made a quick trip to Costco and they had really cute velour sweatsuits for little girls. I am not sure if all of the Costco's carry the same merchandise but if they do you may want to check them out. They have several different colors with a different princess on each one.

We got our docs and our packing is well under way....Now if the time would just go a little faster. Can't wait to see everyone.

 

[smola09's mom]

We, too, have been packing today. It is too cold and rainy to be outside, so the timing was perfect for packing and cleaning out dresser drawers and other inside chores. Welcome to all the newbie's. I am going to work on postcards tonight and then its time to unwind.

 

[MADCLFAN]

We got our Doc's Friday...It is really real. At first I thought I was dreaming...Just 20 days to go!!!! Who's counting???
We will not be getting the green bracelets after all ..so if anyone wants them.

We leave Boston,MA at 7:05am and arrive in Orlando at 10:15am...just in time for transport to the Port. .

 

[PrincessHaleysMom]

We are arriving the day of sailing as well - at 9:29AM to be exact. Using FL Tours to get us to the pier hopefully by 11:00!
Haley is dressing as Minnie Mouse for Halloween and kept telling everyone, "I going in few weeks!". She asks every day if we're going so she can "hold Mickey and Goofy". She is a charcter hog.
Getting excited - everyone needs to start doing the "no tropical storms or rain" dance. It goes a little like this:
Do it 3 times each night as you dance around your living room - I especially think the Nurse should do it when her kids are awake so they can think she's completely lost her mind!

 

[DIS NURSE]

Thanks for the laugh! I laughed out loud and read your thread to my DH! Funny and soooo exciting! I want that darn tropical moisture to GO AWAY! Now there is another tropical storm named ALpha! It is just off St. Thomas!

DD is at a sleep over b-day party tonight and DS is so independently amused up in the playroom with a Star Wars video that I actually got to (yes, lock!) myself in our bedroom and do some serious packing!

I spent over 1 hour packing and I still havn't packed one stitch of clothes yet!
I am packing things like coffee filters and Sponge Bob crap for the week after the cruise! I have to say, my "favorite store" has lots of Nickelodeon stuff for cheap.....and I can bet that at the Nick hotel the "stuff" will be 4 times inflated $$$$$! I have an entire duffle bag with "DO NOT OPEN" until the Nick Hotel!

I am daring and am packing wine bottles wrapped in towels (in a very sturdy hard shelled suitcase no less). Do you think I am nuts? Are the Samsonite luggage gorillas gonna' destroy our suitcases? I got away with it last year on a trip to WDW so I game to try it again. Carry on vs. checked luggage is a hard decision!

 

[PrincessHaleysMom]

We pack wine every time and nothing has ever happened. Ben also puts 24 beers into our carry on bag in various pockets. We are cheap - what can I say???
Going to do my dance around the living room now - I totally do not want to be in the middle of a tropical storm on this cruise.... refresher dance course for the late people:
My neurotic behavior is coming out now.

 

[chip&dale&fun]

I've been quizzing some folks about what kind of rum to pick up while we're shopping. Anybody else going to pick some up? So far, it looks like Appleton Estate seems to be the one to get. Any favorites out there? I'm much better at picking out bourbon & tequila, so any advice you have is appreciated.

it probably only matters for the first drink or two anyway...

My DH and you have lots to talk about I see....
