**@@** October 6th, 2007 Magic**@@**

Hey PlaneJoy1! I'm originally from Atlanta, or to be more exact a little north at the Home of the Big Chicken! LOL As far as lime and hotels and such, there are a few folks going to the P&P party the night before. I think some folks are renting a boat for a fireworks cruise. My group of me and my DH are staying at the Radisson and having dinner with family. There's a button contest going on so we can all have the same button to help find each other, and I think there were rumbelings of a get together at some point.

Keep us posted on what you decide.

Last time we went on Disney a bunch of us stayed at the same hotel the night before. We all had something lime green to identify us. Anything like that going on for this cruise? Which hotel? That night before meeting ended up being one of the highlights of our trip! We met people that we hung out with the entire week and really enjoyed their company.

As for me, I've had an insight today. The time is dragging so bad for me because I've been keeping this secret now for almost a year. ALMOST A WHOLE YEAR PEOPLE! And, I'm sick of it. But, I don't want to spoil the surprise, I mean for crying out loud I've held on this long.

Today my DH finally asked me what hotel I had decided and if I had picked out which park to do which day yet. Now, normally he would have cottoned on a lot sooner that something was up because I'm usually nonstop with the planning and charting and meal reserving, but thankfully it's summer and he's working like a dog and, bless him, he's so tired he just hasn't really thought about it. So today he has a day off and he starts feeling bad that he doesn't know anything about all the work he assumes I've been doing and he's just been missing, so suddenly he wants to know all about it. And here's me, now suddenly such the little woman, don't you worry your pretty little head about this ol' vacation honey, you've got so much on your plate, I've got it all taken care of. :laughing:

I'm trying everything I can to not outright lie, I zigged, I zagged, I evaded, I pretended I thought I saw my mom pull up in the driveway when a red car went by the house, but he finally broke me down. We're staying at Wilderness I say, now very interested in washing the dishes in the sink. He's all happy. And I'm a big liar. But, to make myself feel better, he's going to love this trip and the surprise, and it's a tiny, little lie that's very much of the non-hurtful kind. Right? :scared: Eh, I'll just light an extra candle at mass for my lie. :angel: It's all good.

Thanks for being my planning friends. I think I would have exploded by now if it weren't for you all! :grouphug:
 
It's a SURPRISE! I'll tell you when we get there.

Not that my DH would go for that but it's a good try. So glad you have us to share with. BTW, when do you plan to tell him he's cruising instead of WDWing? It he's been really slammed this summer and your WDW trips are anything like some of ours, the Cruise will be a REAL blessing. He can imitate the guy in the DCL commercials several years ago...napping by the pool, napping on the loungers, napping.....

Hey PlaneJoy1, welcome to our little thread. LauraBearz has a link on page one to the ship with everyone's room identified - at least our currently assigned rooms. We all hope for upgrades - FL resident rates would be great for us too since MIL is a FL resident.

I can't believe you have held out for so long!! I would be lucky to hold out for 1 hour let alone one year- so I think you are allowed to 'white' lie about the plans... :hippie: :love:
You should be proud of yourself for holding that secret... and please share all your excitement! I can't believe we are within the 2 month mark after all this time. Seems like forever..but yesterday! :banana: :banana:
Buttons! I am in the process of designing some more...so be a little more patient. I am designing these last few so you can go in and modify to customize them! So you can put your dis name on them- or anything else! :3dglasses

I think of those staying the night before, we are kinda spread out..no specific hotel. We are staying at the Hyatt. Also, we have found some lime green t-shirts from the disney store.. LimegreenDISBoardshirts**LOOK HERE!** -->not sure who, if anyone ordered except for us...and we are working on buttons and so many other things! Let us know if you are coming along.. always room for a few more!:grouphug:
 
I have added two new buttons and I have left room on them for you to add your own text if you wish!

Check them out at Zazzle!! (see link in my signature)

Have you decied on how you are getting to port - We are a group of 13 and a baby - I am about to start figuring out what to do - there is no way the DCL transfers make financiall sense
 
Hey guys! With all the planning that us moms have been doing - the poor kids thread has fallen by the wayside. My two DD (12 and 9) go in and check almost daily but no one else seems to be "chatting." Are we missing an active thread?

Can you believe we are less than 2 months out? :cool1: We have decided to come down a couple of days early and do the beach one day and Sea World one day. I feel like there is so much to do - but feel a bit silly for packing in August!:rotfl2: Oh well - guess I will make more door signs. Any of you guys done SW? We have never been so any suggestions would be great! TIA!!

WOW! Can't believe the cruise is only 8 weeks away:cheer2: We've been so busy the last couple of weeks getting the kids back on their school routines. Okay, I admit I needed to get back on the school routine too:confused3 Now that we are three weeks into the school year ... I figured it was time to start doing some real cruise planning. DH is working on our door magnets. We have adjoining rooms, so that means double the fun of making door magnets:banana: I have been working on a countdown calendar for my kiddos and tomorrow I am going cruise clothes shopping:cool1:
We will be arriving in Orlando two days early .. still trying to convince DH to do MNSSHP on Thursday or Friday:rolleyes1 Don't think he's going for it .. but I 'll keep trying.

Just letting everyone know I still have that extra IllumiNations Cruise available for Friday night...

If there are no takers soon I will lt the Illminations cruise area know I am camceling..
 
I am soooo excited that we are less than two months out now!!! Before you know it, we will be packing and on our way!!!:cool1:

The buttons I like best are 14 or 15 of the new designs. Does everyone actually weare them on their clothes the whole week? I am thinking of pinning mine to my bag/backpack probably. It should still be pretty visible!

I hope everyone is enjoying the last days of summer! Everyone is starting to return to school so work is starting to get busier for me again.

We actually have the DCL transfers...since this is our first time we wanted to go whole hog...Wonder if the hotel offers any busing? I've heard others renting a car, etc. We honestly only explored other options a little and I can't remember..Others on here would probably be better help. Hopefully we will see you there. More than likely we will be at the pool>>>kids ya know!

For some reason my DD9 just doesn't want to write online..I wish she would, I'd like her to get to know some of the others. She is slow to warm-up and I was really hoping the chat would get her started. She wants me to write for her<sigh> KIDS! :sad2:

With the cruise line....That shall not be named
-That one was my frustration with Zazzle coming out.:rolleyes1 :confused3 ..I just couldn't seem to create a button that they would allow me to keep online(After 13 buttons designed I only had 2 left...). Plus, I had just read the newest Harry Potter book so... :sad1: I allowed myself to get it off my chest! :angel: But I feel better now.:rolleyes: :cool2: :rolleyes1
 
Good Morning fellow Oct. 6th Cruisers.

We have just signed up for this cruise - our first! :yay:

We are from Mississauga, Ontario (just outside Toronto)
DH
DW
DD - 13
DD - 8 (almost 9)

We haven't told our kids yet but hope to get them talking to other kids on the kids thread soon.
 
:banana: :banana: welcome to the ship, the more the merrier.:grouphug: my family, DGD is 9 and DGS is 15 (and a little embarrassed to go on a disney cruise) from OHIO. sounds like we all have kids who won't chat on the kids forum. well, they will get to know each other soon. :cheer2: been pretty busy, haven't posted for a while. :rolleyes1 have been checking tho. just didn't have much to say. seems like we have had several new joiners to the cruise lately. :lmao: want to welcome all of u. we r in for a treat. and all u can eat. fun too for all ages, first cruise, and am glad it's disney, got to be MORE fun.:rotfl: i'm trying to get some sewing done and remodeling some stuff. about the buttons, i like the glasslipper, and #15 and #13b and the door magnet is great too. i like the glasslipper because it kind of identifies us with our door magnet too. keep up the good work. pixiedust: :worship:
 
Where is the door magnet???
The magnet is on the photobucket link in my signature. We can't create that one on Zazzle- it has ears..the Glassslipper one I created for someone in particular-they are going on the Wonder cruise after Magic leaves the dock. I will be removing it as soon as I am sure they have it.
But the door magnet is ok to use because we will be printing that on our own printers. I can change it to match anyone's info if they want- Just send me a PM with the info you want on it. Only takes me 5 minutes to do the changes and upload it. If you send me your email address I will send you the file directly. (I didn't have Glassslipper's email so I had to post it for her to get it.)
It's there for anyone that wants to use it - it's purely your choice..I am proud of it because I had to work alittle magic of my own to get those ears to capture the night scene. It will be on Our doors on the Magic- that I can tell you for sure.
Although I don't think I am going to use the whole magnetic sheet. I am just going print it, laminate it, and use the adhesive magnetic strips. Easier to manage in the printer. (CHEAPER, TOO!) :cool2:
 
Wednesday was 2 months shy of our 30th anniversary, so I presented DW with the PassPorter for DCL. :cool1: Again, having no idea, she said "sure, I'll plan for whenever", so I gave her the ships' layout with our cabin highlighted and notated "We are here on 10/06/07". It finally sunk in. Now she's got two months of planning and anticipation to enjoy:woohoo:

So, see ya (real soon) onboard, I've got to handle door decor, and the rest of the logistics, so I'll keep popping in here.

Thanks for all the ideas and hints!

Ken :wizard:
 
Rdy2Bpampered -- Just wanted to thank you again for the amazing door magnet. My DD9 saw it today and loved it (and she's reaching the age where she is not very easily impressed). Every little bit of magic we spread around before we go on the cruise just adds to the fun. Thank you so much. :goodvibes
 
I got an email today saying one of our passports was on the way!! I hope the others follow soon!
