At this rate, we'll probably make it. We've had 73 today alone and I am guessing that we'll have lots more once everyone gets home from work! 100 today easily....

Hi - this is Mickey Mouse - I heard you and the kids were in the Port area and I just wondered why you did not want to come see me. I live on the ship next door - see - just look out the window...But that's ok if you don't like Mickey and Minnie anymore, I will just sail away tomorrow without you.....

don't forget the tear stains on the cards....

then we need a second card for a day or two before the boat gets back...

Hi-this is Sponge Bob-i heard you and the kids came to florida but did'nt come to see me, gary is just sick over it. guess he i will have to play on the hotel slide without you....

Tempting - but still have Hurricane clean-up to do.

Here is a Cruise Question - has anyone contacted the Perfect Gift for a Gift Basket?

I was going to skip it, but Sam has worked so hard to get the house and yard recovered and it will be his Birthday - so I think I will splurge....Any suggestions...come on AWOL and Barkley DH - speak up here....

C'mon, don't make it harder than it should be. He's a dude! Us dudes are very easily impressed. Beer & peanuts will work. POWER tools are good too, but might be a bit much for Shirley to get on a ship You know what he likes, you just have to figure out how to get that into a basket.

I'm having a tough time keeping up with you guys! You just crack me up! We get into Orlando at 5:10pm on Friday night...by the time we get our car and get to CC, I have no idea what time it will be, but I figure you will have already gotten together. The Reef Side Grill sounds great so maybe we will try to find you guys there...we'll look for the green wristbands and listen for the laughter!

First of all, may I start by saying that you all are a bunch of blabber mouths today!? What's the matter! Are you all excited about something, or what?
Okay.....whew! Finally made it to the Center for Health and Learning here in the hospital to yup!...TO TAKE MY BREAK!....and I am sitting here in tears laughing at your comments! There is what appears to be an 18 y.o diva girl dressed all in black sitting at the terminal next to me wondering what the HELL I am laughing at?! What site could I have possibly Googled that was soooooo danged funny?
She keeps looking over here trying to be discrete!

The first mention of ANY of you toddeling over to Ron Jon's made me start sweating....the second mention of any of you joining made me pit out. And the final comments sent me scheeming a way to be very busy at the pool going down the 250 ft. water slide with the kids at around 4 p.m.

Out of the corner of my eye I will be looking at peoples' wrists. Aren't I insane?

To Choc Marg....before I forget....we have been to that very train park you are referring to in Pheonix on our last two trips to visit my parents! So cool! We also love going to Castles and Coasters....I know, a little cheesy compare to anything Disney but our kids had an absolute ball at thier mini golf courses! They still talk about it!
BTW, I am sending you and awoltoday a PM soon.

About the gym on board.....again, LOTS OF LAUGHS . Yup, already have the gym shoes packed and my bandanas 'cause I sweat a lot.
Not sure when I will hit the gym everyday.....sometime in the morning for sure. DH plans on going too....may have to trade off with the kids, or better yet...they'll be quite content in the Club.

 

[awoltoday]

I thought a short meet (and drink - if the pool bar is open) and then dinner - as we take it...Some folks want to walk to the Italien place - others had dinner plans. I think we may head to Ron Jon's Resort as we have never been there - sorta very easy.....and we need to visit the Irish Pub, of course. But whatever.....

They must really be Irish at that pub, 'cause they think Sam Adams is imported...

Finally, caught up with reading all your posts. We have been doing some last minute running around to pick up prescriptions so this weekend can be spent cleaning and packing. Trick or treat was exhausting and with all the candy around here, I am definitely going to be in need of the gym. I hope you are all good motivators. The kids are very excited and have been talking of the trip everyday and telling me what they are putting in their back packs. We are also arriving in Florida on Friday. We get in in the morning and will be spending the night in Daytona Beach with my mother-in-law. We had planned to arrive at the port real early, but it sounds as if that is not necessary with the new boarding policy.

Keep doing the no tropical storms dance.
NO TROPICAL STORMS OR HURRICANES

Glad your back and safe C&D&F

Hi Everyone,

Wow...you have been busy today. I go either way on the gym thing. It sounds like a great idea to go and workout but when push comes to shove I know that I will be sitting on the chair next to Barkley cheering you all on. We are on for the 11th and open for whatever the group is up for (hmmm....let me re-think that statement, you all sound like a wild bunch). LakeworthDad and CD&F I am so glad that you weathered the storm ok. I can't even imagine what your past two weeks have been like. Glad to have you back.

You have to ask??????

 

[STB ON THE BEACH]

OK Guys,,, I am in the official "OHHHHH, CRAP,,,WE LEAVE IN 4 DAYS AND I HAVE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH TO DOOOOOOOOO!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!! I have not begun to pack, get the house ready to leave, accomplish everything that must be tackled prior to leaving work for 2 weeks, etc. etc. etc.... Can you tell I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed and STRESSED!!!

 

[PrincessHaleysMom]

Just thought of of semi-unimportant question.........
On the ship did they turn the clocks back an hour like we did in Georgia? Like it's 8:43 right now so is it 9:43 there? Anyone know?
Makes a difference in Haley's schedule!

 

[4formickey]

Hope this was a successful event!! I'd hate to have you egged and stinky on that bus all day!

I had a window shot out and a few of my coworkers ended up in the hospital, paint ball shot in the face. Most of our fleet was damage by eggs or pellet shots.

Two different places - menu was from Ron Jon's - Irish pub is --- ok forgot the name and gave the "T" shirt away....I will see if I can find it....

I heard they adjust the clocks to the time that the Port we will be in - is using....in fact - I think Barkley DH posted on this a while back.

 

[chip&dale&fun]

Paddy Cassidy's Irish Pub is the name - and it has a variety of Irish beers on tap, including my all time favourite - Smithwicks.......

You are a very brave man!!! Glad you are OK, but sorry to hear about your bus and your co-workers! People are unbelievable. I am constantly amazed by people's obsession to destroy other people's live and/or posessions. Internet viruses are among my peeves. Why not use that energy constructively?

THE MOUSE IS OUT OF THE BAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yup, we pulled it off tonight! dh opened his birthday bag with a grumpy tshirt, cruise docs and a "weekly world news" (airplane reading material)-he read the card out loud for all of us to hear that he was gifted with the wdw and cruise as a birthday present and could choose 3 people to go with him. ds started begging "me dad, oh me dad", dh starts naming friends, co-workers, the cat....ds starts to lose it when dh mentions taking ds's favorite teddy bear...ds is now on his hands and knees with hands in a prayer position..dh names his first choice-ME. the waiting is agony as dh starts naming other possible traveling companions....finaly ds finds out he is chosen! then me ("the evil mom") says "wait he can't go, he would have to miss school for nine days". crestfallen ds suddenly shouts out "wait, let's call my teacher, she'll let me go i know she will!" and starts running for the phone. we assure him it's o.k., if he promises to do any work she sends along we're sure she'll let him go-he does'nt need to interupt her dinner.

happiness abounds at our house-ds tells anyone calling with birthday wishes for dh about "dad's present he's gonna share", dh is napping, dd is now able to say "disney world" out loud, and I CAN PULL OUT THE SUITCASES WE LEAVE AT 4:45 A.M. SATURDAY!!!

oh, and i upgraded our rental car to a small suv-the idea of us going anywhere with a limited amount of luggage just aint gonna happen.

so are we all going to ron juans wearing dis green shirts that say "I disnurse"?

not brave just , The brave ones are the stay at home moms . I could not do that job. My little ones wear me out on the weekends when they are home with me, just think if they where with me, 7 days a week? I dreamed the other night that I was boarding the ship but I didn't have the rest of the family with me. This trip has ben a long time coming and it is hard waiting for saturday when I can board the boat and wave bye to all
