October 27, 2007 - Cruising around the Moon - A Magical All Hallows Eve Part 2

[vital]

You all are sooooo much more talkative than my cruise board for our cruise in a week!!! LOL

J.T. is a boy and will be 6 when we cruise
Kerry is actually a girl and will be almost 5 when we cruise (yes they are that close in age)

and to remember their names.... they are = John Kerry ;-) that usually helps.

I get my cruise fix next week, we drive to Fort Lauderdale on Saturday the 31st and board the Carribean Princess for a 7 lovely days on April fools day!
I am busy stressing about that cruise, so I will be more active over here once we return. We booked two GUAR cabins on that cruise (due to spring break it was cheaper to get two cabins for 2 each than it was to get one for 4!).... but alas they still have not assigned our rooms, so the planner in me will not know where we are logistically until we get there and it is killing me.

We are on deck 7 when we sail with you all.

I am trying to browse through the history on this thread, but BOY you are a talkative bunch, it could take me a year to "catch up"

Trish

Believe it or not, we've actually slowed down a little! We can be a quick group, but a lot have been working more, sick or just MIA!

What state do you live in? You say you are driving to FLL so I'm thinking FL? Do you like how I avoided the word ASSUME?!

Thanks for the design link Pam....I only looked at the first page, but those are great. Will definetly have to remember that when it gets time to make door signs.

Feeling so much better today.....thank you Zithromax Glad tomorrow is Friday!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone up to anything fun this weekend?

Wow to cruises so close together......Paula & tscocer5 must have been extra good this year.

We are soooooooo close to the 7 month mark.

I'm so glad you are feeling better!!!! My Brother's entire family is down with Strep Throat and I was with everyone of them... hugs included, at the funeral yesterday. Rut ro.... As for fun for the weekend... let me describe my work life right now.... OH MY GOSH!! In four years, our "queue" (which is a virtual file drawer full of our loans) has NEVER had more than 300 work items. When I left tonight, the queue had 475 in it!!!

I have a DisDD Geek button that say "In bed with McDreamy," hmmm....

Ps, Kimmielee, I want to add the mickey egg, but I am at photo limit and I got a warning last week. Bad Pj

Pj... Bad? My dear, if you were busted, why not moi?

Hey, no need to play catch up... just start from here and know that it doesn't take long to figure us out. By the way... I'm "that girl"... the one that dumps her friends for a boy... At least that's what Chris (A fat english gent) thinks!!!

FOR VITAL, from Amy's Design thread.

Hi!! Everyone, just peeking in. I got lost on another thread. I still don't have any GOOD news but I am just going about things as normal, I have decided that if I have to I will go to the bank and cash in a CD, DH will probably be pissed but I figure one good look at the MAGIC and some pixie dust and He'll be happy I was so persistent.

Remember as we get closer that I am only 30 minutes from the world and if you need anything picked up from DTD or want me to pick up something so you don't have to travel with it I would be more than happy to help out.

I haven't CUOP'd so I hope everyone is feeling better and that all is well

Cruise Do's and Don'ts is on the Travel Channel right now.
fyi,

I was bad for weeks, then I posted on a thread that the webmaster was reading and bam, infraction, too many pics in signature. You have to get caught.

 

[ohsodisney]

Kimmi, I ment to say a few posts back that I am so sorry about your Aunt. I hope you and Noah are doing better. It is sooooo hard to lose loved ones.

Tonight was a family night at school. I went to the gym prior thinking the entire time " Maria don't sweat Maria Don't sweat",well I did and I am quite sure I wasn't smelling exactly like a flower but I did spray myself a few times with my sample perfumes. OH BY the Way, sample perfumes are a great way to pack alot of scents without having to bring huge bottles. I purchase all of mine off Ebay and it was one of my best vacation purchases.
The girls had such a good time and played all the games. Our principal Mr Ward called the bingo for the kids and you would have thought he has been doing it all his life. He should call Bingo on cruises The girls even won 4 books of course which all had to be read tonight.

Can anyone tell me what the heck the new rules are on the airlines and what we can bring? What about shampoos and hairsprays and lotions ? I don't think I quite understand it. Can I pack all that stuff in my suitcase for non-carryon and not worry?

O.K you guys I did it !!! I made my woohoo appointment . Yes I'm sure many of you thought you heard the last of it , and were probally hoping and praying so. I found an amazing DR up here, I had people tell me only wonderful stuff about him. Plus DH said I better do it now before I spend all his bonuses elsewhere, ya know piddle it away, which I am good at. It is May 25th.

Off to bed for me. I'm sure I won't fall asleep till 12:00 or so but I try everynight, then I get the muchies around 10 or 11.

 

[DreamCruiser100]

BUMP.......GOOD MORNING!! Just putting us up there with all the other October Cruise threads, there are 3 at the top

 

[DreamCruiser100]

Thanks Sean and Christine for the heads up. I was able to TIVO it when it came on again at midnight. I missed the other special that was on earlier but I am sure it will play again.

 

[Kimmielee]

I'm sitting here with wet hair... dreading going into work (which I rarely do that) and wishing it was late September....and we had 30 days to go!

Noah's Pinewood Derby race is tomorrow. I'll post a pic if I can. He had a great time making his car... I hope it rolls!!

Chris and I believe you can bring whatever size you want in your non-carryon. But carried on stuff has to be <3 ounces (each container). And it (the carried on stuff) has to fit into a one quart size plastic bag. If you have any liquid medications, you should pack them in a separate 1 quart plastic bag. Meds don't count towards the limit. Of course, meds should be in a properly labeled container.

Here's a link to the TSA web site: http://www.tsa.gov/311/index.shtm

Hope this helps,
S&C

 

[PaDisneyCouple]

Here is another TSA link. It is the security checkpoint waiting times page. You can plug in your airport, day of flight, and time of flight. It will give you the min/max/average waiting times, based upon recent data. It also gives you the wait times for a couple of hours +/- your desired timeframe.

[tsoccer5]

so yes it is 12 hours, but my kids are awesome travelers, they have to be, because we have not slowed down since we had them

Any hotel suggestions near the port and reasonable for a family of 4? we were so late in jumping on the cruise next week that we are staying up in Boca Saturday night and even through hotwire we paid $114 but it is spring break and we did get a suite at a place that includes breakfast

gotta run

 

[ohsodisney]

Hi Christine, Thank you soooo much. It looks as thou the best bet for us would be to pack all shampoos, lotions, hairsprays and such in our checked bags and other items like Kennas meds in the carryons. Remember when it use to be so easy to pack, not anymore, but I do understand their reasoning.

Oh my goodness can you believe it is going to be 50's this weekend and then mid 60's next week here? FINALLY. However they are calling for a blast of old man winter to hit again sometime around April 3rd, WHAT , how can they predict that so far out?

Have a wonderful weekend everyone

Tomorrow we are going to Wacky Wayetts with my friend from Peru. They have hamburgers there that have the fries right in them HEHE they are unbelievable good. The girls LOVE it there because it place resembles a barn inside with painting of farm animals and such. They also have pretend horses that still only cost .10 cents a ride.

I wouldnt carry on any liquid on the plane. Not worth the trouble. I bout a water after securety and had to throw it out. We are staying atthe Raddison on Friday. Nice pool Tiki Bar with food. I think they might be having a dog show that weekend but it will make things intresting. This weekend is my DGS B-Day going to be 8 and my DD B-Day also going to be busy. Have a great spring weekend everyone

 

[Disneygrl36]

Lovin' the Captain Jack door sign irate: Bet that shows up on Paula's door.

for Maria's new woohoo's

Likin' the way you think Pam

Loved the cruise do/don'ts on Travel Channel...they gave Disney lots of air time. Why cause Disney rocks which is why we are all so excited to go in October!!!!!

Got an invitation to my cousin's bachelorette/lingerie party for next Friday night so I guess that is what I will be doing...good grief. It's hard to think of buying lingerie for your baby cousin (she's not a baby really she's 24 but to me she's still a little girl).

Have a great weekend everyone.....off to see the in-laws tomorrow for lunch. Gotta get my cousin's wedding gift (a wedding cross stitch that I made) framed & out to dinner & possibly to a jazz place with DH as our Saturday night date.

Can we go yet???????

 

[disneyfanforever]

I go away for a couple of days and I miss over 4 pages. Wow!

Welcome tsoccer5! My boys will be 10 and 6 when we cruise. Brady is my 6 year old (he turned 6 on Monday) and I am sure he would love to meet your kids. Do your kids by chance play soccer? That is my boys' favorite sport.

My week has been both good and bad. We celebrated Brady's birthday which was good. My DH left on a business trip for the week on Monday (very bad). I pretty much spent my week running to and from soccer practices and games with the kids and helping with homework.

My boys did however leave bright and early yesterday morning for a week in Disney World with my parents. Their flights made it there safely and they are having a great time. I, however, rear ended another car on the way to work yesterday morning. It was not my best day. Luckily, everyone was okay, but now my insurance will probably go up.

I love the POC Jack Sparrow picture posted here. Do you guys think POC 3 will be playing while we are on the ship? I hope so. My oldest would love to watch that on the cruise.

 

[Disneygrl36]

for DFF.....sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you are ok. Also, hope your boys have a marvelous time at the WORLD.

That would be awesome to see POC 3 on the ship.

 

[pjpoohbear]

POC1 and POC2 are still playing on the ship right now, we will get to see POC 3 on the ship.

POC1 plays on the Dumbotron right after the party and POC2 shows in the BVT right after the party, don't know what they will do once all three are out, lol.
