Hello again!
CruzinCrzy, do you have that fun Sept. synopsis available to share? Sounds PERFECT for a schedule-crazy girl like me! I'm wandering around now online trying to find the Sept. Navigators... I just get too distracted and find other things to look at along the way!

Can't wait! Have been at several dollar stores getting tons of stuff per all your suggestions - also went to Halloween store and got all of us pirate outfits for pirate night!

Are all of you planning on dressing up for Halloween along with your kids? DH and I are planning our costumes now...

Sherri

Just printed out all of those. Thank you so much Jackie!!! I'm getting soooo excited. I need the stress relief from my last 4.5 months of training on my old job! I get to come back to more of it. Sigh. At least I'll have Disney for a while!

I have to get my butt to the gym just at the thought of all the food I'm going to eat at that pirate night celebration. Glad my outfit will accomodate for the stretching tummy!!!

I just got a cute little dress for formal night. Totally packable and not ironable. Are those words???

Anyway, DH and I are celebrating our 10th anniversary while we're down there- 10 years as of Oct. 25th. What a long time! Our first date was a haunted house - second one was a costume party. This is right up our alley!

Anybody wanna share what they're dressing up as? Or is it top secret?

Okay, i know I read last night that at least one of you were making the Fish Extenders.

I know that I cannot make it more than 8inches wide. I know I could create a pattern if I had time to think. Can the person making the Fish Extenders tell me where you found your pattern. Or are you using the directions someone posted for a five pocket extender using bias tape?

Thanks.

I did see the Navigators. I noticed that they have Disney Trivia Quiz Contests, some of them for families. Anybody want a ringer in their family? Bribes accepted.

Mike, Noah and I could use your Disney Expertise! If he wants to do it and isn't "clubbing" at the time we'd love for you to join us! By the way, there's room in our LTT reservation now! Someone had to cancel. Let me know if you still want to join us.

Wow... I'm STILL printing the journals... I think I'm going to have to buy one more set of ink cartridges. I didn't realize how much color there was!!

 

[dizzi]

It's a thing with pockets that hangs off of the fish outside of your stateroom door. People can leave presents and treats in them. I thought the same thing until I read about them on a thread. It's a really cool idea for the kids to check the pockets when you get back to the room.

GOOD NIGHT TO THE WISHERS!!!!!!!
GOOD NIGHT TO THE DREAMERS!!!!!!!
GOOD NIGHT TO THE DISSERS!!!!!!!

May you dream sweet dreams about our disney cruise.............
And wake up refreshed!!!

WELCOME!

Download the fish extender instructions, I think this is the one with the bias tape.

Ok... I need to see if someone would e willing to print the last three journals?

I'm out of ink AGAIN and I've already spent over $100 on ink, paper and folders. I now know why Kinko's charges 49 cents for each page!

Here's my main concern. My computer has this nasty Trojan virus... I don't know if sending the Publisher documents will infect someone else. I feel horrible but it's $47 for each time I buy new ink and now it's eating too deeply into my vacation budget.

I have printed Ethan's, Sam S., Brianne, Sami, Joseph, Alecksis, Taylor, Micheal, J.T., Kerry, Sammy, Tiffany, Derek, Evan, Sydney, and Tyler. I feel horrible because the last order to come in for Claire, Zach and Callen I can't print!

So 1princessesMom - I can attempt to email the three journals to you. They are done! Or, can anyone think of a way to put them on here that will allow them to print properly? There are 20 pages, but only the first one is different for each child, so that's 23 pages to post. Anyone have any thoughts? I feel so badly!

Yes to both. And my knowledge is more of the "classic" Disney as opposed to modern.

 

[cruisecrzy]

PJpoohbear-Thanks for the Fish extender instructions.

To whoever is in need of help with the journals. If no one can help out I am able to make color copies at work for I think 15-cents per sheet up to 11x17. I know it is ridiculously cheap.

I am not in need of a journal, but if no one is able to help I might be able to when I go to laminate my signs. Provided I actually get the chance to finish them.

Has anyone checked to see if the Magic is docking or tendering at St. Thomas? I forgot to earlier today and now I am lazy.

Hi Michelle, I'm the one making the Fish Extenders. Or, should I say, made them! Everyone who requested one (or two) has got theirs, with a couple extras too!

I used those same instructions, but I already had one from last year so I also had a visual clue -- I could keep looking at mine. Now, I did modify the instructions a bit, more to suit my sewing style and how I wanted the Fish Extenders to look. I also didn't use duck cloth for the pockets -- it was too hard to find.

You shouldn't have any trouble making them. The only thing that surprised me is that each one took longer to sew than I anticipated. I thought I could whip off 2 or 3 an hour, but I was taking almost a full hour to make one.

I can't wait to see yours!

I can't believe how fast 13 months have gone by! It was last September that I booked this cruise, and now we leave in just a few short hours. Hubby has already gone to bed -- but I think I'm like that kid in the commercial: I'm too excited to sleep!

Hubby wants to leave about 4 am, so about 3:30 am is when he'll wake me up

Eek! That's only in four hours!

For those who wanted a Fish Extender -- it's sewn! My door sign is printed (found magnet paper at Staples today). My Fish Extender goodies are bought, and I may buy more. Depends on the neat stuff I find when shopping! And my Scrapbook Swap stuff is all bought, and I have the neatest gift bag for it too!

So............off to bed I go, where I shall toss and turn and dream of that big ol' cruise ship -- and finally meeting all of you, of course! I'm travelling with my laptop, so I shall check in during the next week and a half, I'm sure

See you all soon!
