Hi there Tess and Mindy!!!! Welcome aboard! It sounds like all of our kids are going to rule teh kids clubs...

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Good Evening all........ Kristi have fn camping....we are cAMPING Sunday-tues...in a motorhome of course..LOL I like cooking over the fire but I don't like roughing my sleeping arrangments....and girl I would ditch the in laws and get to the port early....everyone for themselves I say!!!

Tess---I think some have book excursions, maybe once everyone has had the chance everyone doing them can compare so they know who maybe on their excursion. I however am doing NONE!
As for meeting up...I know when I fly in that Robin's (disneydiva) and I may meet up at the airport cause our flights come in 15 minutes apart! and Andrea's family and mine maybe meeting at MNSSHP, but I think that's all a personal preference. I am staying at Residence Inn( that's it right Andrea?--LOL) There are a few of us staying there so we may run into each other at the pool. I am leaving EARLY to get to the port! I wanna number 3(at the least)

Tonight I laminated my door signs and put magnets on them. My dorr is gonna rock! I also made my Disney Dreamer badge. Just a little question----ya know how our logo runs side to side....are u all putting the punch hole(to hang on lanyard) at the top of the ship or hanging it sideways?

Well Off to finish up my signs and update the web page....For those of you who are doing the Secret Mickey---if you haven't sent me back your form please do so. I wanna start setting up who has who....haha a secret only I will know

Welcome to all the new cruisers! I'm sorry I've lost track of who I've greeted and who I haven't.

The summer is going so fast already. Amaya will be back to school in 5 weeks - I can't believe it. But tha's a good thing because once she starts school the cruise will only be a little more than 7 weeks away. Is that right? I just counted in my head.

It sounds like a lot of you are going to MNSSHP - sounds like fun, wish we were joining you. I haven't definitely decided on what excursions I want to do but I guess I better get on it because my 75 days will be in about 10 days.

Does anyone know if you can book on your own for a Dolphin excursion? I read on a thread that you have to book all dolphin excursions from Disney. Anyone know if that's 100% true?

Hope everyone is having a good week. Talk to you all later.

Terri I read on another that people have book cozumel all on their own...How is anyone gonna know who u cruise with? We were gonna book on our own but decided to do MNSSHP instead and wait till Nelia is a few yrs older so we can do the swim instead of just the encounter! Well off to bed, Sydney has her bday party tomorrow for her friends...woohoo a bunch of girls in the pool. Oh and Terri SYdney goes back to school Aug 31st, so we will only have 4 weeks when mine go to school...=) Chat later!

Th reason they know is that one of the mandatory items on the booking form is either what hotel you are staying at or on which cruise ship you arrive. If you put Disney Magic, they will not let you go ahead with the booking. I think they only signed the exclusive deal with DCL about 6 to 8 weeks ago so anybody who booked direct before that is fine.

oh thanks for the info Corinna. I am glad we are waiting then for Nelia cause if we book ourselves this cruise she would be free through the dolphin place, and DISNEY she's not. So at least waiting till she's old enough to do the swim I would have to pay for her either way, I won't feel so rooked. I don't understand why there is such a large diference in price, like why does Disney have to hike it up from what the Dolphin place charges...rip off!

Hey I have never been to Key West...I know it's not that big but if we walk it and just site see a bit, how long will it take and is it worth walking around for the kids???? Anybodies insight would be appreciated!

I am having so much fun with my lamination machine, making my door signs.What a fun toy!! LOL I think I am making a few more. I made some that just go on for Pirate night, golden Mickey's etc. I might have found a FE project for myself, well maybe for my sister in law cause I have enough FE stuff to make!!!

I am watching this info-mercial on Cricut expression...wow now if I had time for scrapebooking...wow I could see I would have to have on of these!!!

So some have asked if we were doing any meets besides the initial one. I have said nothing really set up except football night for the guys and a girls club night out for the girls. Does anyone want me to type something up with ur ideas and then whoever wants to show can??? Just let me know!

 

[dolphingirl47]

Are there any plans for the people doing Secret Mickey to meet up on the last sea day to exchange the main gift and for the big reveal?

Corinna

I never thought abot that for the SM, I thought that Ya'll were gonna have them put in each others staerooms and then when we got home guess on here who had ya....LOL Whatever U guys all wanna do! We have a till we meet again good night set up after the characters till we meet again...ya coould always do it then or well any other time you SM's like!

 

[schmoopiecat]

Yeah I know it's been awhile. I read all your posts, just don't take the time to add any myself.I don't think I was thinking that the cruise won't happen, just so much going on right now. I had knee surgery in April & its lokks like I need to have surgery on the other one also. The short term disability insurance people are demanding more info on my condition & haven't sent me a check for the past month. My dad was dianoised with lung cancer & given 6 months. The cancer is also in his liver & possibbly brain. So I have been a little preocupied. Well now that I have depressed everybody, I'll get with the program & start getting some stuff done.
Thanks Kristi for getting that picture of us to Michelle. It turned out pretty good.Thank goodness that even though it was my birthday I wasn't in by birthday suit! That would have scared everybody away.
I am working on my magnets today and just removed another link from my countdown chain.
I promise to try to do better with posts in the future.

Awww Trina-- Hope this helps! U definately need the vacation girlie! And I think ur bday photo turned out cute...look how young u look girl!! Just made some more prints today to laminate and have a project for my SIL to make her FE. I think it's a cute idea...oh yeah because it's my idea...so if you think it's cute...I am taking all the credit...don't give it to my SIL.... Off to laminate!

I have my FE for the adults Nothing to terrible special but something that will come in handy for sure. I'm not making anything like the rest of you crafters. Not enough hours in my day. I even know what I'm getting for the kids, I just have to go pick it up. I can't wait for that deadline. With all the new people, I was beginning to get worried if I would have enough but, so far, so good. Now I'm anxiously awaiting our room assignment. I check daily like it's going to magically appear before the 30 day mark. Oh how I wish for the upgrade fairy.

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Ok, long day yesterday. SYdney had her friend bday pool party! It was very nice! But a long day! Then I stayed up till 1am... Making my sister in laws adult FE's...I know why didn't I let her do it, well I just wanted it done! I want to feel like we are almost done with everything. and she lives an hour away and may not get back here again until after I start my job...no way I want it all done! I too am looking forward to our cut off date cause I am running outta stuff.

Anything new with anyone....I can't wait till school starts! We will only have 30 days then! How awesome is that!!! Well off to close my eyes again ok I lied, off to fold towel and another basket of laundry, then make a picnic lunch and then to golf lessons!

good morning disdreamers
just checking in - nothing new to say except that I can't find what I want for FE online. guess i'll have to do a drive by to get the stuff i need TTFN

 

[kpflillirpf]

Oh Trina, I'm so proud of you! Two posts in just a couple of days. I'm impressed. Hee Hee Love ya girl!

Nothing new to report here except at 4:30pm today I leave for our weekend camping trip. Should be interesting. The last few times the good Lord threw rain, thunder a lightening and a tornado my way. Hmmmm, what will this weekend bring. UGH And, to top it off, cause the Governor hasn't gotten his act together with the state budget we may be booted out Sunday morning from the campsite cause it'll be shutting down. Oh, and did I mention the things to do may not be running because of this budget stuff. So, on top of a packed van full of camping gear and clothing and food and such we had to pack stuff to do with the kids in case there's nothing to do there. Thanks Gov. Okay, I'm done venting. Will be back Sunday evening and will hopefully find time to get back on the board to let everyone know just how I fared for the weekend. LOL After this I have a couple of weeks and then I head to New Hampshire for a week. Then Lilli's birthday. Then school starts. Then CRUISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hurry up cruise and get here!!!!

Take care all! Kristi

We leave today for Payton's all-star tournament in a little town called Demopolis. Basically nothing there to do. Don't know if I will have access to the internet while I'm gone. I'm taking lots of school stuff to work on. DH has to come back Sunday night after our second game and fly to Boston Monday. Next week is basically Patrick's last week of vacation. He starts band camp on the 20th. It goes every day for 2 weeks, and then part of the 3rd week. After that, school starts. I can't believe that summer is about over. It has gone by so fast.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Okay, I have a question. I am despriately trying to figure out my FE....In all the board posts here and elsewhere refer to a lady on ebay and from the images you guys posted her's were all cute and beautifully embroidered....but when I go on ebay I don't see her on there anymore. Anyone know how to get in touch with her or knows if she even does them anymore? Does anyone know who does do them? Anyone's input would be appreciated.

I would make them myself but 1...I can't sew.....2...I'm not that crafty....so making them myself is a last resort.

Thanks so much.

If you're talking about Tiffany (gradysmommy) she is on vacation until August 6th. I too was looking at her FE and then all of a sudden they were all off Ebay. I contacted her and she said she had taken everything off until she returned from vacation and would have plenty of time for me to order one. Check back after the 6th and I'm sure she'll have some listed.

I also thought about trying to make one but that thought lasted about 2 minutes until I realized I wouldn't have a clue where to start.

So glad it's Friday Well except for the fact I have to go in to work for a few hours tomorrow. But those extra hours on my paycheck can go straight to my cruise fund!

Have a good weekend all.

I have one of Tiffany's FE's but for my sister in law I am making her something simple cause she may never do DCL again(ok I think I can talk her into it) but I didn't want her spending the money if she wasn't sure. SO i got a denim bag and I am ironing on a design (kellybell) onto it and just hanging the handles from the FE...just a suggestion to anyone who runs into an FE problem!

 

[kboysmommy]

Thanks guys!! I appreciate the info...I knew there had to be a reason why she didn't have anything posted.

 

[schmoopiecat]

I did a little more searching online & found everything I wanted for the kiddos FE gifts. Still no ideas for the grownups. It will come to me sooner or later.
I'm starting to order some cruise clothes for DH & me.
Printed out some magnets this AM but I'm not real happy with some of them. I'll just keep trying (on paper) until I get them right.
Wel, pain meds are kicking in so I better go before I make no sense at all. Type at cha later
