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

[vital]

Kim-I wish I could get the car decal but it sticks from the inside and I have tinted windows. Oh well. I had one on the outside of my Maxima and when we left the car at the lot Ethan piped up and said, "oh well, we'll just have to go back to Disney and get another one." Smart kid! I'm still up in the air about where to eat the Friday night before cruise. Do you want fancy or normal? If we stay at WL, y'all could come over and we could eat at Artist's Point and ride the boat back to MK. The MNSSHP starts early though so we'd have to go back to room, change, eat and get back over there by 430 I think. Maybe we should just change early and meet back at MK for an early dinner. Boy, you can tell I had a cappacino*sp* can't you? I know we have plenty of time to decide.

Our sitter is flying in that day. She'll get to the hotel at about 2 - 2:30 .... so we'll need to go back to the Poly to meet her and change... Based on her arrival time, it's probably best to have ressies in MK or one of the MK hotels?

4/29/07 is our ressie day.... Ressies are available for the Crystal Palace, Liberty Tree Tavern, Tony's Town Square and Cinderella's Castle... Or we could do Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary... Lots of choices, more than I can think of after waking from a nap! I think it's safe to make dinner ressies at 4:00 or 4:30 and by the time we are done the park is open for MNSSHP!!

I've been doing research on Cinderella's Castle for the "Dream Come True" dinner and it sounds wonderful... but I'll have the dining plan so it won't cost us anything... that may be a consideration for you. Not sure if it's more pricey than the other choices. Let me know your thoughts! We only have 4 + months to decide and make ressies!

Here are some projections, hoping I got them right:
105 days from cruise: 7/14/07 Saturday REAS & Suites
90 days from cruise: 7/29/07 Sunday Castaway Club Members
75 days from cruise: 8/13/07 Monday First Time Cruise Members

10/27/07 is the 300th day of the year.

Next schedule airing of DCL on Travel Channel: 12/14 at 1900 Eastern. Based upon web site data. But, I always scan the TV Guide in the paper each week. Disney Food for the Holidays on Food Channel 12/3 at 1800.

Great info Sean!!

The 75 day deadline is 8/13/07 to pay in full, but for those of us that have sailed before... we must be paid by 7/29/07 to make the 90 day ressies too!! My goal is to have the cruise paid for in full by 7/20 and the WDW portion by 7/6. Everything after that is spending $$$!

You better not wait until you are spoken to... you are so funny, filled with charm and I LOVE your stories! Both Paula and I owe you hugs!

If there is one thing I've learned... it's that this form of communication, whether it's text messages or emails... it lacks the human touch and can be misconstrued. So much so, to the point of ending perfectly wonderful friendships and even some potential romances... I am going to be very careful going forward to avoid just that!

Congrats on paying off your cruise! I just sat down this morning and did my budget. Only $200 a paycheck and one portion of a bonus check and I'll be all paid off by early July. Actually, most likely by the end of May. That's my budget - now I just need to stick to it!! I'm so excited to have my 2007 calendar...

 

[Babs417]

Mr Gent please dont stop, you didnt offend me. Im speaking to you dony ever let me stop you from talking! Good on you for paying your cruise off.

That's okay I didn't learn anything standing out in the hall either.

AAAAAH. Nothing like waking up in the south with record breaking cold outside, NOT! It's 20 degrees here! BLAH! That's why I live in the south! I don't like cold weather. If it's below 55 at night it's too cold for me. Oh well, I'll sum it up with the comment E said yesterday morning, "Where's the snow?"
Me, "It's not going to snow"
E,"If it's this cold, it should snow!"
I'd have to agree with him. At least we could get something out of it! I'd like for it to snow Christmas and then be in the 70's for New Years and beyond! I know, I know, you can't have it all!

I hope y'all have a good day. Kimmilee, yes, you are enough dear. We'll just have to show these boys that the gals that are already here are enough! *We welcome any new gals also! You can't have enough potential spa buddies!*

How did my name get changed to Inevitable in Chris's post? Thanks guys... you are stuck with me regardless!

Yesterday morning it was cold... but no snow. Went to Target at lunch to buy some more Christmas Tree lights. Got back to the office at around 1:30 and the snow started.

It wasn't a blizzard or anything, kinda pretty for our first snow... big flakes, slowly falling to the ground... oh wait... as they hit the roads (temp was slightly higher than the ground) they began to melt but the outdoor temp was only 23 and it turned to BLACK ICE!!!!!!!!!!!

It took me almost 2 hours to go 15 miles to pick up Noah from daycare!

Good news: Jeep is still intact!

Bad news: Christmas tree didn't get finished last night.

Good news: Talked almost the entire time to my ex-boyfriend and we are having dinner again this Friday....

More good news: I now have plans for New Year's Eve!

Bad news: Ex-boyfriend but hey.... the guy is trying! I just keep telling myself that my Disney Prince is out there somewhere... has he been in front of my eyes the whole time? My staff refuses to hear anymore drama about the Ex... don't worry, you all will be there soon. (Need smiley that is throwing up here)

Good news: Going to a formal Christmas dance on Thursday with another date (not the Ex) so perhaps I'll be more prepared for the speech the Ex wants to give me!

Off to brave the roads again! I LOVE my Jeep!

Am with Paula "if he aint good enough the first time,he's hardly goner come up to the mark the second time" now is he?....You want/need a prince not his second cousin twice removed......

 

[A fat english gent]

"I LOVE my Jeep!"

Keep loving the jeep,it won't make you unhappy and sad and it will be years before it starts making odd noises first thing on a morning.....

 

[rer1972]

I try my best.

You just made me almost spit Coke out of my nose! I agree Kim, unless you are using him as a, ahem, BC *if you don't know what that is, PM me* Back Away From the EX!!!!!!!!!

BACK AWAY!!!!!!!!!! He's not good enough for you. You've grieved over the loss already and don't need to open old wounds. When you open old wounds, some nasty flesh eating bacteria could get in there! Sorry, nurse coming out! LOL! Really, be careful. We know how the hoiday season can make things seem better but then by Valentine's Day it sucks again!

I totally got the BC reference! Remind me to tell you something about that on the cruise!

I'm so torn... how is it that someone can enter your heart so easily and then tear it up on their way out? I think the whole thing with the Ex is that he knows that someone else has a piece of my heart and that's killing him. As soon as I tell him that it's over with the other guy... he'll get his infamous cold feet in a month or two... that's his pattern. Friday, I HAVE to pick him up for dinner at his house because I *need* to see his Christmas tree and he has presents for Noah!! He's never bought presents for Noah before. It's a ploy to get me on his turf...

Ok, enough about that. I had to tell my staff today that I'm going to have surgery on the 19th and might be out as long as 6 weeks. The timing couldn't be any worse. My right hand at work is my team lead and she's due to have her baby on Jan. 7th! She's going to pop at any time... so my team loses me and my right hand (possibly). I've been scrambling to train some of my senior people to prepare. I won't know until the surgery is over if it's a minor thing or if the Dr. had to do the major thing... it's stressful, worrying about Noah if I'm down for that long... and worrying about my team. I think all the man troubles are a God send to keep my mind off the "real" issues. Ya know?

So... Noah wrote a story in his creative writing center (something new they are trying in the first grade) and it's all about the Disney ship... our first cruise and how he can't wait until the next one. He drew a picture of the ship. It even has the basketball court on the top deck and shows Noah and I on our verandah.... Mickey's head on the stack... I was so amazed at how detailed it was!

Ok, enough of my dribble tonight...
