Offical Check-In List 10/30/04 "Magic"

[vikingfans]

getting hot and humid so it sounds like it's time for STURGIS!!!!

Heading up there on Thursday! Woo Hoo!!!

Less than 90 days all! Keep Counting!

 

[mhb]

Good Morning everyone!!!

It is beautiful here in NJ. The air is off and the windows are opened. The tomatoes are coming in, and so are the cucumbers. We even have a pumpkin. Too Early, but at least now we can carve it for Aug 31st and enjoy it. You know we'll be crusing on Halloween!!!

Hope everyone had a good week. We were in Ocean City for a couple of days. The water was warm, but the waves were big.

I can't believe the end of this month is our 60 day mark. Got to place that call.

disneediva: Hope your DH is feeling better and resting well.

jaypd: I'm still at a loss. I even went on to the Tech fourm, found where you can get the counter and still don't know what I'm doing. I know it's just me being me.

Ginger: I've got my Orential Trading order ready and waiting for me to send it. Are we still at 37 children?

Karen: Glad your holiday went well. I'm heading to the gym now to shed some of those extra pounds too. I'll still be working on it when we sail. Never ending battle! LOL How is your daughter making out? Enjoying her holiday too?

Guess that's it for now, hope everyone has a great day.

Final payment going out tomorrow. Am also signing up for REAS! Convinced my wife it will be wonderful. Neither of us have ever had a massage. Another MAGICal thing to look forward to!!

Car rentals are all confirmed. Hotel for the Saturday night after the cruise is booked. The only ressie I still need to do is a room for the Friday before the cruise. Oh yea, and excursions.

Soon it will be time to start packing!

... and what will we be for Halloween?

Hi,

My family will also be on the cruise as will our neighbors. Is it too late to be added to trick of treat list and how are you planning to work that? (I can go and read through the thread, but didn't have time yet.)

We will be in stateroom 6062.
Brandie (10) and Courtney (7)

I don't know what stateroom our neighbors are in, but I'll find out. They have 4 children (10) (7) (3) and (2).

Thanks.

Hey everyone

We finally finished painting the house What a project that was with a baby around. Anyway, I love how it looks!!!

GINGER: I finally made my ressies for the rad for the night before YEA!! All we need now is the strawberries and chocolate.

SCOTT: I just called DVC yesterday and added the REAS package. I am so excited!! We had that added two years ago and I enjoyed it.

WELCOME wjbc! I don't think it is too late to be added to the TorT list. We usually meet in the atrium at a specific time and go door to door to our own staterooms. It is alot of fun and much less hectic than Disney TorT. The past two years I made up little goodie bags with some candies and goods from oriental trading and just pack them in a box in one of my suitcases.

QUESTION FOR GINGER - Will we be setting a cut off date for adding TorTers like we did last year?

KAREN: Now Brendan is not sure whether or not he wants to go on the cruise. Tell James and Oliver to email him and get a fire under his bum!!

Have a great afternoon everyone!

Hi all, I'm still here, lurking every now and again. I've not had much time lately, been working everyday with just Sundays off to get things done around the house.
We're very short handed at the Post Office. Can't get good people to work, heck, not even bad ones.

Welcome wjbc, I'll add your stateroom and children to the list. Post here, send me an email or a PM notice with your neighbors info. if they would like to be added.

Dena, I think a cut off date msy be a good idea.
I guess we should set a date and time too.

Michelle workout for me too, I need it badly. Maybe it will put me in a better mood. Also help me shed this extra 20lbs.

Got to go work on the list, then to bed.

Trick-or-Treat

 

["Ginger"]

YAHOO!!!!! Dena, sorry I just realized that you posted about the Radisson. I'll bring the chocolate and maybe a little bit of oil

I also saw a few pages back that another Marylander posted.
Welcome!!!! Snowflake.

 

[mhb]

Good Evening all. Just got back from Yoga. Stretch, breath, relax. How the heck am I suppose to relax when I'm holding that stretch!!!LOL

Welcome wjbc. We are from South Jersey. Glad you're aboard. Is this your first cruise? My DD is 11 and would love to meet others from the boards to hang out with. We are going with 3 other families, but none her age. You can PM me and I'll get back to you.

Dena: Hope your painting went well. I need to do my DS's room, but just haven't gotten the will up to do it. What kind of things did you put in the goodie bags for T or Ters? I picked out some things from Orential Trading but not sure if it is what we should give out. Thanks for your help.

Ginger: There must be alot of vacations now. Is that another reason you have to work everyday? As far as the extra "baggage", I find it very hard to lose in the summer. Seems every weekend there is another party or dinner to go to. Very hard to stay on track.

Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow.

Michelle


Still trying to find out how to put a counter up. I must be thick!!!

 

[DMS_cruisers04]

Good morning everyone! Hope this past month has been good to everybody. Been lurking every now and again when I get the chance, but things are busy. Finished massage school, took my state medical board test, and past , and am now trying to work out things to start massage on regular basis. Wish me luck!
No, I will not be giving massages on the cruise, I'm on vacation !

In catching up with everything, I noticed a few of us are getting T or T treats/stuff from Oriental trading and was wondering if those that have think we should start a list of what we're getting so we don't double up too much. Or are we okay just winging it? Don't want to add anything to anyones plate, as it looks like we're all pretty busy. Let me know.

Have a good week everybody!!

 

[KEH]

Hello everyone from a sunny UK! Mind you yesterday we had torrential rain and floods so it may not last.

Dena, I have told the boys to beg, bribe, plead, threaten and od whatever necessary to get Brendan to cruise. They have been looking forward to seeing him again so will be really fed up if he doesn't go.

Ginger, I think we will bring our T or T goodies down to the atrium and give them out before you all go off on the patrol round the ship. Hope that's okay.

Emma has gone to York with her boyfriend today to look round the University. He will go next year and she wouldn't be going till 2006 but it still brings a lump to my throat to think of her leaving home.

If anyone has a teen girl around 16 or 17 in their party for the cruise, remind me as I know Emma would love to get to know someone beforehand by e-mail. I don't think she's too keen on checking out the Stack again. She's tried it twice and it just isn't her scene.

Better go - I'm supposed to be working!

Karen

 

[disney_newf]

Hi All,

It's been a long time since I've posted. Been busy this summer with the nice weather and all.

Mike: I like your idea of somehow finding out what everyone is bringing for the t&t's. I, too, have been looking at the Oriental Company and am wondering what I should get. Around here we usually just give out bags of chips and chocolate bars.

Karen: I have a younger cousin who is travelling with us, Jennifer is 15 1/2 yrs, but very mature for her age (one of the reasons she is travelling with us sans parents). She is in New Brunswick now with cadets but will be home in 2 weeks. If you daugther would be interested in e-mailing her, just PM me.


Talk later,
Kelly

ONLY 79 days to go!!!

 

[mdvasquez]

As far as the TorT bags go, for that past two years I have added (besides candy) bubbles, stickers, whistles, pins, sticky spiders, rings, notepads and glow bracelets. There has always been several duplicates of things, but my DD always loves little things like that.

BTW: Off the cruise topic, Emily is trying so hard to crawl. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks away!

Dena

 

[Rose_Greenthumb]

I don't know why my mum's so worried, all she needs to do is bribe me with a coffee and slice of cake and I'll be home faster than you can say starbucks. Or a disney holiday for that matter!

I really would love to get in touch with someone before this cruise, as great as it's bound to be anyway, it really would be perfect if I didn't have to brave the stack! It's just not for me.

Dena - I can't wait to see Emily, my mum was showing me photos and she's just so cute! I guess if she's my mum's honorary niece then she's my honorary cousin.

 

[Lynda Silk]

Hi everyone!
I've been lurking a bit but haven't had time to post. But I'm working this week so I'm able to check the boards more than if I'm at home!

Dena, Emily just sounds precious! I envy you having a newborn; they are so sweet at that age! Belated congratulations on her birth! You must be having so much fun with her!

Mike, I had to laugh at your disclaimer re no massages on the Magic! When I was reading your post, that did occur to me and then I saw your "no work, on vacation" comment! Anyway, best of luck starting up!

Re Halloween, I was planning to give out candy, pencils and some Canada balloons. I wasn't sure about the balloons; does anyone know if there are any issues with balloons on the ship? I'm not familiar with Oriental Trading so we may be the only ones who won't be giving out their stuff!

Off to Mexico on Saturday for a week! I'm going with the kids and my sister to stay at an all-inclusive called the RIU Playacar in Playa Del Carmen. Too bad, DH has to work. It's our first stay in Mexio so we're all very excited! The cruise is still the "BIG" holiday though!

Take care, everyone! Lynda

 

["Ginger"]

I have been apart of this event aboard the Magic for a few years now. So I'll be honest with you. My DD doesn't care what's in her bag. Her fun is in the actually event itself. I believe this true for most of the children.

So please don't stress yourselves over the goodies bags.

Also, please keep in mind when purchasing treats, packing them. Are they going to be a pain in the tussy for you to bring? If so then they are going to be as much of a pain for someone else to take home. So, I'm asking that you keep your treats small or edible.
We'll have all our excursion days ahead of us, indivdual snack treats are perfect treats to take along. Fruit rolls up, rice crispy treat, goldfish, gummi bears, single candy bars etc....

 

[mhb]

Hello everyone: I finally got my counter!!! Took awhile. I just want to Thank everyone here that tried to help me. I had to go over to the Tech Board and plead for help. They were great. Seems that our pop-up stopper was stopping me.

Hi Lynda: Hope you are out o the range of the bad weather. I think rain is headed over FL, in the Gulf Coast.

Re Halloween: I have picked out small items from Orential Trading that I think MY children would like. Not too much, but some cool things. I like the idea of fruit roll ups, and gummy bears, but was thinking golfish, chips, pretzels would get smashed. I'm not stressing cause I know they all just enjoy going around and T or Ting. I think that's the most fun. My DS, 15, wants to decorate his room. I know he'll do a good job because he decorates at home. It is his favorite holiday.

Kelly: My DS will PM you for your DD, if that is okay with you.

Emma: He'll PM you too, although since this is our 1st cruise he may want to check out the stack.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Michelle

Bonnie will affect the Gulf Coast. Right behind is Charley, coming up across Cuba, etc. and is predicted to head this way after it passes through Tampa. It is expected to even <I>possibly</I> hit central FL (Yes, that includes Orlando!) as a Category 1 (or even <I>maybe</I> Cat 2 if land doesn't slow it down) hurricane this weekend. Even in Daytona Beach, people are flocking to the stores buying out the water, batteries, candles, canned goods and such. It seems "two at once" for tropical storms/hurricanes is a first here. Of course, weather is SO unpredictable around here that it may not get here at all (keeping fingers crossed!).

Orlando/WDW has not had a "hurricane scare" since fall of 1999.

 

[mdvasquez]

EMMA: Yes, I guess Emily is your honorary cousin. When I get the chance I will send you guys some updated pictures.

KAREN: I talked to Brendan and he now will be going on the cruise. He was stressing over how much money it was going to cost him and of course I caved in and told him not to worry about the money.

LYNDA: Thank you for the congrats. Yes, I am totally enjoying Emily I had wanted another baby for quite a few years, and still can't believe she is here! Have a GREAT time in Mexico.

MICHELLE: YEA for you on your counter!! I have been trying to figure out how to post a picture, but still cant figure it out

We are just waiting to see what Charley is going to do to us. As of this afternoon, we have had rain and have been under a tornado watch for the past 2 hours.

Well, have a great afternoon everyone.

Dena
