Thought this graphic would be appropriate for our cruise (Thanks to kari)

Would you have a problem if you happened to walk by someone else's door and see this hanging? This is great!

Not at all. Enjoy.

Thanks for posting the info on shipping a box!

Now, I better get busy finishing up FE gifts, packing, etc etc...

On the last cruise we purchased a case of water and it was $36.00. Since you can't ship liquids and they don't want you taking any on board it sounds like you have to buy it from them unless you are going to pack it in your suitcase instead of clothes!

I have been trying to get my clothes together today and I know it is going to be another one of those pack too much, so if I start early, I can rethink and take some out! Sounds good, doesn't it???

We are having the most beautiful fall weekend you could ever want. Went to Christmas in the Park today and it was just wonderful, but I really was not ready for Christmas music!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Is anyone booking 2010 cruise on Tuesday??

Is the water that yucky tasting? I am not picky. I just don't want to get sick. And I thought if you can carry it on your person, you could bring water. That is what I have read recently. Any comments??? I am thinking of bringing some water...

Thanks 1DisneyQueen for the info and the link for shipping things off to the ship. I guess you can't send water. That is a shame as they way over charge for that item, don't you think, Pixie Dust? Oh well at least I can get the FE stuff down there and save that extra space for more clothes.

I think it is a matter of what you are used to. The water on the ship tastes fine, but I would rather drink bottled water. I'm not one for drinking soda and I always seem to have a bottle of water with me. The other good reason for having the bottled water is if you plan on going out on excursions it is good to have a bottle of water with you. I would not be able to carry the water I need for the week on my person. So I guess I'll have to fork out the extra money to pay for it on the ship.

What do you think of this for our cruise logo?

Pixie dust - Do you have a larger copy of the logo? I tried enlarging it but it comes out quite fuzzy. I wanted to make a door sign. Thanx. Sue

Both times we went on the Wonder we had no problem bring our own bottled water. We had a rolling cooler with Bottled Water and Gatorade and the porter took it. I understand they now want you to take it with you instead of giving to the porter but that is still okay. We take bottled water for excursions as well. Luckily we are driving so don't have issues with air travel. If you rent a car or have rental service they will stop at a store to get the water for you.

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday, only 3 more sundays until the cruise.

DeAnna, Thanks for the ! Since we are landing at Orlando and staying at the Hyatt I'm sure there is someplace that we can find water to purchase in the mall. Stopping on the way would be a good idea, but when I get in that vehicle, which will be heading toward the ship, there will be only one thing on my mind and that is getting to the Magic. I can't tell you how excited I'm getting at this point. It is 25 days until I leave for Florida and in 26 days I'll be on the Magic.

Before you make a copy of this for anything you might want to correct the words. If you look at the word Magical it is in all caps except the "a" before the "L". I just noticed it now after all this time. I don't know if I can fix it I will try. Give me a few minutes.

Good catch. I can fix it - I just cloned it out and retyped the whole line. I'll wait to post it in case we can get a larger image.

 

[WendyJersey]

Hopefully the picture will show up here:

 

[WendyJersey]

Well I guess I got this to work in Photobucket the first time for the FE and it was beginners luck. I have fixed the letters in the Logo for our cruise, but I can't get it here. I will try again later. Sorry

 

[WendyJersey]

Here is is. Thought I would never get it to come up.

Wendy Jersey, there is a Walgreens within three miles of the airport that would be easy to take a cab to if you need things. It would be just exiting the airport north and just up the road on the right hand side. We live in Orlando so know that that Walgreens is there and reasonable. Don't know if anything at the airport would be reasonable. Are you taking Disney Transporation? If not, this is a worthwhile place to ask them to stop for a 5 minute break, I think they generally have a 12 or 24 pack of water for $3.99 or $4.99.

Don't mean to upset you, but it was suppose to be that way....MAGICal....get it???? The ship....Magic! That was the idea from the beginning. I thought everyone got that, sorry if you did not!

I have my door sign made and I was sure I had it saved and now I can't find it. I will look and if you still need it let me know.

Sorry about the misunderstanding, but I thought everyone knew.

I don't know how to download the sign size of this to the board...Mozart is going to have to step in here and give me some guidance!

I do the signs on Print Shop and from there I am lost as to how to get them to show up on the Disboard.

I need help!!!!!!!!

I got it, I though it was cool how you see it say Magic and then the word Magical~ to mean that we have a Magical Disney Cruise on the Magic Ship! I like it! I have it printed out to put in on our door! I just left it the size you had it, it works for me. Thanks for making it!

Well I went out to Target today and bought I of the things we will need! Also went to Best Buy and picked up more batteries, film for both the camera and video camera! All this shopping has got me even more excited, not that I was not before~ it's just now that I am bouncing off the walls excited!!!!

I really would like to do the fish extender, but I guess I don't really understand how we hand the gifts out. This is my first time with the whole fish extender and the little gifts you give out. So my question is do you give something to each person in the cabin or do you give just one gift for the whole cabin? I have been talking to adam( hi adam, if you are reading this), that is going to be on this cruise and he was thinking on get a small tote bag and do iron ons on the bag. This sounds like a good idea to me too, since I don't have a sewing machine and don't really know how to sew that good. Also is it to late to sign up to do this? Thanks in advance!

 

[MegaMouseHouse]

I have been putting together fish extender gifts and making door magnets all day and am getting even more excited. The last week flew by and I still have so much to do to get ready. I haven't even started getting the packing ready. Looks like a few of you are ahead of me on that. Can't wait to meet you all on Saturday Nov 8th!!!!
