Oct 28, 2007, Halloween 4-night cruise on Wonder

[LisaFB]

We'll be in the parks Oct 23-28, staying at AKL. We're not doing MNSSHP this year as much as we'd like to. Even though we know there's no way to get the kids back to the hotel and tucked in my their regular bedtime (7:30/8) we want to get back as close to it as we can. Because of the timing of MNSSHP, we figure we'd only be able to stay for maybe an hour and we don't want to have to pay for all 4 of us for only an hour. We'll go back in about 203 years again in Oct and take the kids then (of course we'll have the Little Monkey to worry about bedtime then! LOL)

BTW, about to send you a PM, I got outbid on those pirate costumes on Ebay...

 

[Stephieann]

Me, in Charge...oh man... LOL..are you sure you want to do that..LOL. OK now here we go..we gotta do this we gotta do that... everyone pick something to do while i kick back and watch........LOL. Just kidding!!!
So, do we want to meet about 3 at the mickey pool on the 28th?

 

[LisaFB]

Sounds good to me!! Now, how will we know each other? Should we all wear a matching color (sorry, but I don't think any of us own anything green... BTW why is green the DISboards color?! LOL).

 

[rosedawn]

We're going on a cruise next month lime green is the dis color, I don't have anything but Mom and Dad do, Also don't have any little kids but can't wait to see them all dressed up!

 

[Stephieann]

ok... umm... let me think on this. DH does not have a green shirt either... prior to me coming to this cruise i was on another and we were going to do a grass skirt meet on embarkment day where everyone wears a grass skirt to know each other.... what about that..or we all wear leis or something... anyone else have any ideas?
*@*@*@*@*@*
i am going to buy for 10 kids so if we have more then they can just have more or i will give to my stateroom hose!

 

[minnie4me]

we do not have green shirts either, at least lime green, except DS, who will be wearing one probably as part of his Handy Manny costume, best green tee I could come up with. I think I will do 10 or 12 bags too. I hope the activity books are still at the party store when I get there.
Speaking of the Handy Manny costume, we were at the toy store yesterday and DS saw a Lightening McQueen pit crew csotume, and guess he wants to be now...I said "I showed you that costume on the computer and you didn't want it", "but now I do". Yikes!! Not sure if I should just buy it and be done or make the Manny costume, I did tell him there would be alot of Cars costumes between WDW and DCL , but not too many Manny's. So, he might not want to look like everyone else.

 

[LisaFB]

Michele, I hope you get the costume figured out! Right now Jackie's saying she doesn't want her Cinderella one at all and only wants to wear Belle... Um, she has Ariel as well (her fav princess) and if I bought them all for her, she's going to wear them all! LOL

I think I'll do for 10 kids as well. Not sure what I'm getting for the treat bags yet, but I'll figure something out as we get closer.

 

[Stephieann]

Is it October yet? I am thinking about ordering some lei, to wear at the meet, I think that would be a good thing to help notice the DIS group, if anyone would like to have one i would be glad to send some out to you. i just need to know so i can order enough. I will have to order in time to get them to you prior to leaving so you can wear them at the meet.

 

[LisaFB]

I think Jackie & Seth have some leis in their dress up trunk that I can dig out for them. I know Scott won't "want to get leid" in public! LOL Tee hee hee, sorry, I couldn't help myself... I'm giddy on cold meds (I never told you guys I ended up in the ER a few days ago. I blacked out and didn't feel the baby. Turns out I have either pneumonia or bronchitis).

i want what you are having...which cold medicine is it.


I don't have have any leis so going to have to order them. DH and I have never been leid, well not that I can remember. he comes home this month....
I had a dream about the cruise...I dreamed that we were in Nassau and I could not account for the day ahead. I remember getting on the ship, but didn't remember the sail a way party(must have been what you are on Lisa ) anyway, we had some freaky room and they had given us all kind of gifts and stuff. was told had something to do with dh coming home and serving time over seas.. and OH YEA in the dream I had to move our date back because I forgot our birth cert.. and stuff, then once we did get on the ship..I could not find my camera...oh no I forgot it. Now I am so worried I will forget all these things.. :. I am thinking I had a similar dream last year about this time before the cruise. ..I will have to make myself a bunch of notes.

 

[LisaFB]

Stephie, just regular Sudafed and Tylenol!! Hmmm, sounds like you're having PG dreams!! So exciting DH comes home this month!!!!

 

[Stephieann]

I AM MAD NOW!!!!! I am taking a course online and i had a test to take today, well i was 12 minutes into a 30 minute test and i lost interent connection... UGH!!!!!!! With 9 minutes left I got it to come up. I cannot answer 20 questions in 9 minutes. THIS IS NOT MY DAY!!! lol

I don"t know how "lime green" got to be the "official DIS color but it is not just green, lime green and bright lime green at that.

not my FAV but maybe thats why

 

[minnie4me]

The lei thing would be ok for me. I am sure I could find a cheap one somewhere. Maybe just the ladies would wear them, we could spare the DH's that would be embarrassed. Do you guys have a Michaels craft store near you? I think they are all over the US? Anyway I saw the cutest little Halloween headband there for like a dollar or 2 each. Like cat ears, bunny ears, devil horns, and witch hats w/ funny hair. I was thinking of getting one to wear for Halloween, DH & I are not dressing up, but they could be a way to "connect". Who could miss a bunch of ladies with silly headbands? DS wants me to pick a witches hat, but not sure yet. I saw some really nice ones at the local Halloween store, but they were like $5-$10. Not a bad price considering a person could wear again and again, but if the dollar one does the trick, why pay more.
So, I saw the halloween magnetic pages, they were cute. I hate to show my computer illiteracy, but I didn't even know there was magnetic paper. My husband is in computer networking, so he handles all computer details at our house. Anyway, I wanted to put something on our door, mostly to help DS identify it and dress it up for him alittle. So, at the craft store I bought a foam frame and a foam pirate ship for him to decorate w/ foamy details and stickers. We like to do little projects like this. The frame already has a magnet and I can stick one to the boat, do you think this would be okay to stick on the door?

Day 1 meet...Mickey pool slide side...3 pm....what are we going to do to stand out?

[Stephieann]

I am going to order me some leis but i have to order at least 12...if anyone wants me to mail them one, two or how ever many let me know. I have to get the order in quick because there are other things in there i need now.

 

[Stephieann]

Steph,
your pics are great !! It is ugly and raining here right now, so your beach pic and sun/cloud one are very inspiring. Do you think we can get October here any faster? I am thinking of the "see ya real soon" pic as an invite to fun,fun,fun !!
Also, thought the leis were cute. I was going to get one at the Poly, that is where we are staying prior to cruise, but the ones you pictured are so cute and themed I want one !! Well, 2 if possible. I think DS would like one too. He would like the scariest looking one, especially if it had a spider. So, if alot of people want , we will just take one, if you will have enough we will take 2. Just let me know the cost.
Went to the party store yesterday and picked up the little activity pads for our tot !! also DS picked spider rings !! and some gummy lifesavers too. Trying to prepare for both preschool and cruise !! too many in preschool for activity pads though.
Things seem to be coming together for us all !! Getting more excited everyday !!

 

[LisaFB]

Stephie, sorry about your computer problems. Those leis are adorable! How much are you selling them for?

John the only time Scott & I ever did anything lime green was on our Disneymoon... and all we did was tie a ribbon around our camera case! LOL There's no way you'll ever get us to wear that color!! LOL

Hi everyone!!! Did you know we're going on a Disney cruise next month?! LOL
