"Holy Bananas Batman!! What's that in my mouth?"

Oh my gosh.... I fully expect a definition guide when we arrive on the ship!

You did it Paula!!! 1000 posts!!! I get to buy you a whole night of drinks...

Went to the DCL site the other day, and started a "wish list" for our cruise. So, I'm assuming this doesn't do much, except help keep track of the things you want to do? Or, once inside 90 days, can I click on items in our wish list and be taken right to the purchase option (as opposed to having to find them elsewhere on the site)?

Wishing...personal training (DW loved her Pilates sessions), 12 metre regatta, kayaking excursions (have our own, and taken classes), and butterfly farm tour.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has done this!

Uh, do you have a platinum card?

OK, I'm really getting on the treadmill now!

 

[Kimmielee]

Good Morning everyone... we were expecting the snow that has been hammering to the north but it is just raining REALLY HARD!!!!

I'm giving a baby shower tomorrow and I have so much to prepare... Hope you guys have a great weekend!

Paula - I have an aluminum card... will that work?

 

[PaDisneyCouple]

Good morning. Can't believe it is December already!

We are also preparing for a very windy & rainy day here in central PA. Flood warnings. We may need a Large Boat to get through this

Have a good weekend!

Where in the world is everyone? Look in my siggy and see what I'm asking Santa to bring me for Christmas!

 

[dmonroe]

I have had a busy week! It took a couple of days to get back into the "school" routine after our week off for Thanksgiving! (And, whoever thought it was a good idea to give them a whole week off anyway? LOL) We've gotten all of the Christmas decorations up, now I get to spend my days making sure that Braden leaves them alone! We are now minus 2 Christmas snow globes!
I hope to finish up the rest of my shopping this weekend. Then I can tackle the wrapping! I have no idea what I'll do with the wrapped presents, since I KNOW that Braden won't be able to leave those alone either!
Oh well, at least it finally feels like the holiday season around here! Yesterday I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, today I wore yoga pants and a fleece! Woo hoo! Finally some nice cold weather! It makes me feel much more festive. It's hard to get in the Christmas Spirit when you're sweating buckets! LOL

Oh my... isn't he a slice of heaven??? If you get him for Christmas you BETTER be bringing him on the cruise!!

I spent the morning at the dentist... then ran around like a chicken with my head caught off trying to get everything done for the baby shower I'm having for my co-worker/assistant tomorrow.

I bought red and white candle holders (they hold tea lights) and Bath and Body Works that are soooo beautiful. I'm putting one red and one white on each table with a poinsetta in the middle... I think it's going to be so pretty. She's not a "girly girl" and wants a very low key shower. The hall that I rented has a fireplace too! It should be perfect since it's so cold here now!

Ok, off to wrap and gather all my stuff... Everyone have a GREAT weekend!

We have a SERIOUS problem here. I got the new Disney planning DVD in today. Ethan and I were watching it and he's asking when we are going back. I said,"I think we should do a Disney cruise before we go back." He just looked at me and said, "NO!" I had to think quickly and spurted out, "When you decide you are going to ride Tower of Terror, Rockn Rollercoaster and Space Mountain we will think about going back." He said he was going to think about riding those again so we can hurry up and go back. Then the water parks come on and he's all yelling he want's to do that and that and this and that. Good grief! Now I'm going to the cruise site and ordering a cruise planning DVD and forcing him to watch. I really think he'll be OK going on a cruise when the time comes. Since we are going to WDW for one day before we cruise I'm scared he'll get mad when we leave and go to the boat. Now, don't forget the trip is still a surprise to him. Please give me some advice on how to deal with this without telling him what my plans are! Do you think I should skip the day at WDW just to make sure he's going to be happy with the cruise or should I chill since it's still so far away?

 

[Kimmielee]

Noah flips back and forth as well. It isn't a surprise to him and I've explained that we could NEVER go to Orlando and NOT go to WDW, even if it was for the cruise. He's happy with going to WDW for 1 day/night before the cruise. So much so that I bought our plane tickets already (I only booked a one day basic pass to MK) and we arrive at about 1:00 and the first thing he wants is the POOL! That first night we'll do DTD and go to the Contemporary for Chef Mickey's... then on Friday we'll go to MK during the day.... have dinner there (we need to coordinate our dinners Paula!) and by then Sarah will join us and we'll do the MNSSHP in costume!

Don't let it discourage you and don't try to change his mind... just tell him that you guys will return "someday" and leave it at that. I'm hoping Noah will be ready for the bigger rides too! Perhaps they can buddy up and do them together for moral support!

I wouldn't ruin your surprise either.... by the time he realizes that you are going to Orlando... ANY vacation involving Disney will be cool.

Remind me to give you a hug also ! Thanks for the words of encouragement! I know everything will be OK. I just had a panic moment and when you put it the way you did, I know it's going to be alright.

I'm going to have to remember "chuck a wobbler!"

I changed our Poly ressies to before the cruise instead of after (thought I better do that since I booked our flights!) and added the Dining Plan... I'll cancel if I decide not to do the Character Dining... otherwise it's not worth it for us.

Right now I'd like to have dinner on the 25th at Chef Mickey's and I'm hoping to have dinner in the Castle the night of MNSSHP on the 26th - how cool would that be while they transform the park? Anyone have dinner there yet? I need to go read the Dining Review board....

I booked our towncar, calculated our priority seating dates for the 2 days at WDW and have started to review the excursions....

Can you tell I just got my 2007 calendar?
