Good Idea Allen!! I agree with you...pg 4/5? Yuck! Where are the Mouseketeers! I know these people can chat cause they did for a year before the Dreamers cruise!!
I guess everyone has alot brewing with Thanksgiving in a few weeks and then a few more and it's Xmas....not enough time for me. Well off to bed,,,have an early meeting in the morning and yeah it's Friday!! TTFN

 

[BigRed1]

Check out the new Mickey head. I can't believe I'm making door magnets already...

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

I can't believe I am gonna get supplies to make SOME FE's. and magnets too. I just wanna enjoy making it all and last cruise was my first FE so I was stressed! This time I will start now and take my time!!

 

[kpflillirpf]

Just a quick howdy! I know I haven't been on here much. Life is just so busy these days. Got lots to accomplish between now and Thanksgiving. Hope everyone is doing well!

I wanted to share that our room number is 6599. Obviously that is all subject to change as time goes on. LOL

Anyway, take it easy and I'll stop by and chat again later! Kristi

Ok, I am jumping on to say "Good Morning"!!! I am looking for fe stuff, but need to think of something light weight to travel across country with. I still have time.

Ok, off to work. Gotta make the money to pay for this cruise Talk with everyone soon!!! Where is Norma and why hasnt she posted

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Kristi.....thanks updated the list with ur room number....NO CHANGING!!! LOL
Unless u get me a balcony upgrade with ur move!!

This morning the girls and I are going to get our H1N1 shots. They are soo excited....
I told them no drama cause there will be alot of little kids there and they can't upset them. Sydney has asthma so we finally got the shot here , she's been waiting cause asthmatics can't get the mist. Which honestly is ok with me...I personally am not into something up my nose that is "live"

Then my cousin who is more like my sister(I am an only child--I know alot of u are saying that explains alot) Anyhow...we are going to a craft show today. I am going to find FE ideas.....I told Robin I am gonna take pics of stuff I see.....we were laughing so hard last night cause she said what are you gonna do say" I don't want your craft I just want a picture so I can make it myself" OMG I thought we were gonna pee our pants.
and I say yep! I will be more sly using my phone maybe but I will manage.

I liked Terri's coasters so much that I am making some for family members for their xmas gift. Funds are tight this holday...I kinda spent my xmas fund on the rebooking....I am fine with it but not sure everyone else would undertand Though I know u guys do...

Ok well I am gonna get Nelia breakfast....I wanna get to the health dept a half hour early to get in line! TTFN

 

[disneydiva16]

I just wanted to let everyone know that michelle got arrested for stealing other peoples ideas at the craft show!!!! Bail was set, but Del refused to pay. Michelle should be out in a year (6 months for good behavior).

I believe that this will finally teach her NOT to copy other peoples ideas for our fish extender gifts!!!!

Just kidding Michelle....hahahehe chuckle chuckle

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

OK so I got out on good behavior today!! OK so I didn't steal their ideas, just modified! I found somethings that were crafted and then found things at the craft store to change it around a little!! They are small and cute , so easy to travel. Do U know how hard it is to not share this with my dreamers....Oh and we have another dreamer joining us......I think most of you know since we are like all on FB, but if you don't I won't spoil it, I will let her come on and say so....I am just so excited!! Ok well today I go to the child psychologist to discuss what to do about Nelia and the issues that have arrived from her being locked and stuck in the stateroom bathroom for over 20mins-half hour. Hopefully she has ways to deal with this. Alright well I am off to work...yuck!

TTFN
Mousketeers----All for 1 and 1 for all!!!

 

[kimmcbee]

Michelle- let us know what the dr says. Hope she is doing better.

Kyle had decided that him and I were going to Boston for his birthday next year, he can to me last night... Mom, I have a better idea and a better idea for us to bond. Yes Kyle what is it. I think you and I should go on a cruise! Now if all of you rennet this is the child who was gone first thing in the morning and did not come back till middle of the night or sunrise. He thinks we can bond at dinner time?? Not sure what he is thinking. The plus side for the two of us will prob be cheaper then Boston. Magic will be in dry dock, maybe 3/4 btb on the wonder. Also looking at new rcl boat or carnival.

Back to work. Have a great day

Well, looks like I will be joining you as well. I am in the process of transferring my booking that I made for the EB Transatlantic over to this one.

They have decided at work to only have a skeleton staff on over Christmas. As I don't drive and there is no public transport over Christmas, I have not been rostered and they applied leave for those days. This means that I now don't have enough leave for both Transatlantics. With the paid in full date less than a month away, I had to make a decision. So I had a look on the DCL website yesterday and my favourite cabin (6521) is available. So that really swung it. Now my travel agent just has to work her magic. For now it is just me, but I hope that DH will be added somewhere down the line.

I still have not completely given up on the EB Transatlantic (so the ticker is still there). I am hoping that once the roster for April is published that I might be able to do a bit of swapping and might be able to rebook on short notice. However, there is no telling if this will work out and as availability is still good, I should be able to make the final decision about 6 weeks before. If I can swing it, I will use DVC points for that cruise.

Hey Corinna....way cool...we will hope for u to join us! Ao U are gonna book the same room(6521) for this cruise? OK so you said U may still do the EB........are U gonna do this one with us regardless of the EB or only if you don't do the EB?

Well just a little FYI on the child psychologist appt for Nelia and getting locked in the stateroom bathroom. So the Dr gave me some therapeutic things to do with Nelia to help her realize that most doors unlock. Also she wants me to let Nelia write Disney and in her own words tell them what they could have done better in that situation and how to make sure it's handled better in the future. She said this will give Nelia some control over the situation and hopefully Disney will respond to her and make her feel like she is in control and was heard. Doc said this will be good therapy for her. So we will prolly work on that in the next few weeks!

Ok well I am off to bed, I am so tired and have some Xmas present to work on tomorrow!! TTFN

We are 100% committed to this cruise. Yes, you read correct, we . Graham took me out for my birthday lunch today and asked what I had decided about the EB Transatlantic. I told him that I had canceled it and had transferred the booking to this cruise. He asked me a few questions and then asked me to add him to the reservation. So as soon as I get confirmation that the transfer has all gone through, I will add him onto the reservation.

If I can swing the EB Transatlantic, then I book this using DVC points in addition to the cruises I have currently booked. Anyway, it does not count as one is in 2010 and the other in 2011.

I am glad that Nelia has been able to see a psychologist regarding the trauma that she experienced on the Magic. Writing to Disney sounds like a great idea. I just hope that she gets a response.

welcome back with us Corinna. We are very excited you are coming back with us!!!

This is turning into just one big family reunion!!!! Welcome back Carol and Corinna! We are gonna have so much fun. We will definatley have to do a girls nite out on the ship.

Corinna---I am soooo excited U are in for sure! And glad Graham is joining us as well. Del(my DH) said that it is soo cool...like a bog reunion of our Dreamers cruise! I will add your room number once U are sure u got the 6521.

Today I made my coasters for my family....That was an awesome idea Terri for our FE. Thanks for telling me tips on doing it. My mom and the kids teachers will love them. Especially since I am using personal photos. I have made like 25 so far....Just 15 more to go and I can be done! Corinna I love your cell phone charm idea that I am gonna make some for Sydney's competition dance group with their group names on them for their national competition gift!
Now U guys are challenging me to make something a little different since alot of Dreamers are traveling...can't give u repeat things...LOL I might use some of my same ideas just change to fit this cruise! Anyhow I am outta here.....waiting for pizza man to bring dinner....kinda early but football day around here has no schedule~!

I will try to stop in more often...Michelle...and keep up this time Off to wrap some Christmas gifts...trying to get a head start

Happy Thanksgiving to all

 

[kpflillirpf]

Hi everyone! Yes I'm still alive. Been extremely busy and that won't let up til after the holidays. Our church's Christmas production opens in a couple of weeks so starting this week my DH has to be at the rehearsals with his video team so they are ready to videotape the performances. This is a huge ministry at our church with close to 200 cast members and at least another 150 to 200 more people behind the scenes. Please pray for my sanity as I'll become somewhat a single parent during this time.

Anyway, so glad to hear that so many of our Dreamers are joining together again on this cruise ship. Way cool! As for the FE's, due to financial struggles in our lives right now, we won't be participating. If things change between now and then I'll let you all know.

Anyway, as I said, things have been busy around here. I turned 40 early this month, we had Lilli's Gotcha Day on the 11th (that is a celebration of the day we received her from the orphanage in Vietnam) and now Richard and I are trying to get over a bug. Oye. Thankfully my bug is so far less than his. We'll only hope this continues.

Got a very busy schedule this week (and like I said til all the holidays are over) but will do my best to swing by to visit you all!

Take care and chat with ya'll later! Kristi
