That sounds fine.

I just found us on page 3.

I think we are looking at Sunday in the promenade lounge at 10ish. No final plans as of yet.

That sounds good, but some people might have Palo Brunch shortly after that, but I know what you mean about an earlier start. That just would not be the best idea!

What do you think of this for our cruise logo?

I like the logo.

I forgot about Palo, there are just too many things to consider, should we meet in the middle at 9:30 on sunday?

I just bought my shoe organizer. I already had one, but it was not see through, so I bought one of those. Now I have two, one for the small things and the other for big things that will stick out so that we can see them.

We are heading to Williamsburg, VA this weekend and I will test out my organizers then.

I thought about shopping for clearance sale items and boy are they picked through allready!! It always seems that whatever size I am at the time, they always have one size up or down, but not my size! So Fustrating!

I love it, for our Cruise Logo! You did a great job! It would look cool on T-shirts!

I have been looking for a see through shoe organizer, where did you find yours at?

I think I need to head to Wal-mart, but I really dis like going into our Wal-mart as it is always crazy! But I have a couple days off from work this week, so maybe it would be so bad to try to go there then.

I just found a see through bathroom organizer at a dollar store and a see through shoe organizer at Walmart. Last cruise I went crazy trying to find shoes (espec. the the little kids) and little things we needed. I know these will come in handy.

I agree that a meet-n-greet at 9:30/10:00 on Sunday morning would be good. I hope to be on our way to the pool afterwards. Do you bring your children to the meet and greet?

Morgan4- I was worried about waiting to shop. My sister told me to wait for clearance but I was afraid I wouldn't find the sizes I needed. So I sympathize (sp?) with you. Sending you some luck with the shopping. Enjoy your weekend. I rec'd your PM thanks!

Pixie Dust- I like the logo too. Thank you.

Everyone have a good week. Bye for now.

Love the logo -- Great job!!!

Finally started to get into the cruise spirit here and have started getting our cruise things together. So little time and so much to do!! LOL

I found mine at Target, $5.99. I think there are 24 pockets.

Thanks so much for the Pixie dust!! It worked!! I found 2 pair of shorts that fit perfectly and at $12 each, I was very happy.

Love the pixie dust, it works every time!!

I plan on dragging my darling daughters, and my husband too, to the meet and greet. Hopefully they can find friends there and want to spend more time in the lab. I Love my little angels, but I would like some adult time on the ship. I feel that if they get bored at the meet and greet, then they can go do what they want at the lab.

Hey, today our count down is 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days!!

Thanks, I will check my Target out!

Sounds like we are all in the shopping mode. I found a great outfit for semi formal night, a $60.00 skirt for $9.99 and a $40.00 top for $4.99. I did not think that could go wrong! Yesterday I got a pair of capri pants and a jacket that I have a sequin Mickey I want to put on the back of the jacket. They were both on sale, but I was hoping they would be cheaper. Well, today they are cheaper, so I have to go back toward the mall today for baseball, so I will take them back to be repriced.

I bought a fish extender for my dd from Ebay because I was afraid I would not find one. It was very cute and reasonable.

My biggest problem is going to be the shoe thing. I always want to take too many pair of shoes. I just got the cutest pair of Mickey flip flops at out town festival last week. Now those won't take much room! Our dd said she is limiting three pair of shoes for she and her dh. If my dh gets that idea in his head I will be hiding my shoes in strange places!

Don't you think it would be a good idea to start a photo album so we will be able to recognize each other?

Morgan4-Have fun in Williamsburg-We use to go there every summer, but it has been a long time since we have done it. We always had so much fun!

Woohoo -- congrats on finding the excellent sale items! Putting the sequined Mickey on the back of the jacket sounds really cool.

I hear ya regarding the shoes! My dh threw a fit last cruise because of the "excessive" amount of shoes I packed for my dds and myself. Hello! I was Super conservative by just packing 4 each! (crocs, sandals/flip flops and 2 dress shoes).

I love the idea of a photo album.

Going to go work on our pillowcases now... (Last time I did a photo/clip art collage and uploaded it to snapfish.com -- turned out really nice. Plan to do similar this time around.)

Online reservation booking opening soon! If my count is correct, I will be staying up late on the 25th. Anyone count that differently?

 

[Morgan4]

Pixie Dust - great job, I really need to get back out there to shop, but I need to work today (I'm there now, shhhh )

The weather looks pretty good for Williamsburg, we are looking forward to quality time with grandma and grandpa.

Shoes - I NEED sneakers (for zip lining), walking sandles, dress shoes (formal night), boots (pirate night), my cute wedge sandles, and pool sandles. That is 6 for me. DH gets sneakers, sandles and dress shoes. DDs get the same. I need room for my shoes.

I would do the photo album, but I have no idea how to post pictures. I know you use "photobucket" somehow. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you get the REAS? Then I think you are right. I have to wait until Aug 25th. And I still have to pay off the cruise!

 

[chkdrumr]

I feel like I've been away forever. I was 2 and a half pages behind already. I've been working like crazy (12 hrs a day) and I haven't had time to even think about the cruise.

Stitch's O'hana-I'm actually feeling a little guilty about my dm's bday because she's not coming to WDW with me. I'm meeting my dad and his girlfriend there and that could be awkward. She has to go back to work, so she's leaving the port for MCO.

I need to get shopping. But I'm losing weight, and don't know what size to buy. I certainly can't wait until Oct to buy summer clothes!

Well I need to make some dinner, everyone enjoy the rest of the week!
BTW. I have no clue how to post picture either. So it may take a little while.

 

[mimi'sgirl]

Wow- Like I said in an earlier post. I'm computer illiterate and would also like some help with uploading pictures. I've had so much trouble making door signs too. Looks like I'm going to use stickers instead

Pixie Dust and Morgan4 - Congrats on the good finds. Always better when you get it on sale.

Pixie Dust- Did you buy the 2 pocket extender on ebay. I checked once but need to go back to it. I thought I would try to make my own but I don't see that happening.

Gecko- I'm waiting for the 25th also for ressies.

I'd also like to see who would like to go to the beer,vodka martini and/or margarita clinics. My dh doesn't drink wine so we'll be skipping that one. I'll check the navigators for an estimate of days and times.

Bye for now.

DW is paying off the cruise/insurance today! That gives the TA and DCL seven days to credit my account before the online reservations window opens.

I just need to see that "paid in full" showing when I log on to my cruise! That's when this cruise becomes reality!

I think there may be a clicking war taking place early in the morning of the 26th. Whoever clicks the fastest wins the prime times.

I will have no mercy.

Oh yeah, haven't you heard...they're moving the online reservations time back to 3 AM for this cruise. Don't try before then or you'll be locked out for 24 hours....

So, are both of you going for Dinner, brunch, and high tea? I've got to book dinner, brunch, high tea, an aroma stone massage, a pedicure, a manicure, and our excursion. We're going cheap on this cruise.

P.S. I've started my official trip report for the cruise if anyone's interested:
