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

["Ginger"]

Welcome Aboard Bob, I was waiting to hear from you. Bill and I got out the pictures the other night. I have them of our group having dinner. For those who weren't there, we (21 of us) connected our reservations so that we would be dining together. Boy, I bet those waiters were glad when that trip was over. That was a great cruise, most of all a great group of people.

Lynda, I just don't want people coming up to me in the lobby at 11:00 a.m. saying, OH!!!! don't let the children come to my room cause we won't be there. That's what happened last year.
If someone wants to come to the lobby and handout their goodies, that's fine by me, just let me know ahead of time, by 9:30 a.m. Sunday morning by phoning me at stateroom 2052, so I can remove their stateroom number from the list.

BTW- everyone new cruisers the Daily Navigators are placed in your staterooms in the evening so you can plan your next days activies. You can also pick one up at Guest Services.

Thanks to everyone offering to lead a group, I'll let you know.

Ginger, I don't know if you got my email or not, but I already ordered the stuff from OT yesterday. Also, if there is anything you need me to help you with concerning TorTing, let me know.

We are not sure about costumes yet here. DH does not like to dress up at all.
LYNDA: your DH sounds alot like mine when it comes to dressing up. Or should I say not dressing up.

I would like to dress Emily as a fairly, maybe tinkerbell. I am keeping my eyes open for a costume small enough for her. If she goes as tinkerbell, Ashley wants to be captain hook.

Well, I hear Emily waking from her nap. Have a great evening everyone.
Dena

 

[KEH]

Mark is with Michael on this one, Dena. he won't be dressing up either. We girls will just have to rescue the honour of our table! I am toying with the idea of something piratey - it might save on packing as I could wear ir for the Pirate party as well!

 

[Jaypd]

mdvasquez how old is Emily? My son is going as Pan and my daughter (5 months) will be Tink. We found a costume place with small tink costumes thats why I ask

 

[disney_newf]

HI Everyone,

Just one quick question ... has anyone stayed at either of these holtels (what are they like?)..HIlton Oceanfront, DoubleTree Oceanfront or the Hampton Inn? DH has enough HiltonHonors points for one free night at either of these hotels. But since we have never been, looking for opinions!!!

Ginger: Great job on the organizing!!
If you need another volunteer, count me in too!!

Re: Costumes...I think i'll dress DH as a pirate . Definitely kills two birds with one stone. Ryan wants to be Stitch this week, last week it was an army man and the week before it was Spiderman. Got to love 4 year olds!! Jennifer and I don't know what to be!! I haven't dressed up for halloween in at least ten years or more!

So many decisions, SO little time!

Kelly

 

[KEH]

It's Emma, I'm posting on my mum's name because my computer's all the way upstairs and if I log on I'll get bombarded by people on msn worrying about results. I'm waiting for my results of my exams (I can go and get them at 10am so 45 minutes!). I tried to log in as me on this computer but it didn't seem to want to let me which bodes well for my IT result!

Anyway, Dena, Emily would look so cute as Tinkerbell! I'd better not tell my friends though because a couple of them would be over in my suitcase to kidnap her in a shot! That's always my favourite part of Halloween - seeing all the little kids dressed up!

Here's a photo of me in my costume. I can't wait to wear it again!

 

[KEH]

It's Emma again! I thought you might all like to know how I did in my exams.

I got 2 Bs, 6 As and 4 A*s!

 

[mhb]

Good Morning everyone!!

Emma, You got great marks on your exams!!! I'll let Andrew know you were on. BTW, your costume looks great!

Jaypd: I think you should lean toward being the pirate. I know my DH would rather NOT shave for 1 day. It adds to the flare of the costume.

Kelly: I know what you mean about dressing up. I'm not one for thinking of things. Plus I don't want to take up room in my suitcase. Might need another pair of shoes!! Sounds like your DS will change his mind a few times before the cruise. Is it your neice that you are taking? I thought that's what you had said. My DS 15, was wondering.

Welcome Bob and Family: We are a family of 5. DS 15, DS 13 and DD 11. I'm sure the kids will meet in the clubs.

Lynda: Sounds like you trip was great. The food sounds wonderful. Can almost taste those fries!! I DO like desserts, maybe that's why I need to get myself to the gym.

So I better get myself moving. Hope everyone has a great day!!

Judi: Your idea about the boats sounds great!! I collect magnets, and my frig is covered. Can't wait to add another. I'll have to move things around before I go so I have room on it when I get back!! Thanks, again.

Michelle

 

[mdvasquez]

Emma: Way to go girl!! You should be very proud of yourself. Those are great marks!! Are you going to be wearing the minnie mouse costume of the cruise? It's so cute. I am in the process to downloading some more pictures of Em on my computer, I will send them to you either later today or tomorrow.

Karen: My sisters and I were going to dress as the 3 good fairies from sleeping beauty for MNNSHP, and if we do that, I will just take that costume on the cruise.

WELCOME BOB AND FAMILY!

JAYPD: Emily will be 8 months at time of sailing. Where is the costume place? Online? I just realized you live in Bohemia. I was born and raised in Long Island. I have lived in Coram, Middle Island, Selden, Ronkonkoma and my last home up there was in Holbrook. My last job as well as my DH was in Bohemia. Now we have been in FL for 9 years.

Wish me luck, Emily goes for her 6th month checkup today and has to get 4 shots. She does not do well with shots and is usually quite crabby for 24 hours after.

Well, have a great day everyone.
Dena

 

[mhb]

Good Luck Dena. Do they tell you to give your DD something after the shot. They always told me to give them infant ibuprofen.

Seem to help a little. I wish you luck.

Michelle

 

[DVCBob]

My dear wife has informed me that we are in fact not on deck seven but on deck 6 cabin 6045.

Thanks to all for the greetings. We are very much looking forward to the cruise and some sunshine as this has been a very cool gloomy summer.

 

[KEH]

This is Karen reclaiming my id and I just want to say that I am SO proud of Emma. She worked very hard and deserved every one of those results. I love you, sweetheart, and you have made me and Dad very proud.

 

[Lynda Silk]

Hi everyone!

Emma, just wanted to say congratulations on those great marks! I'm still amazed at how many exams you had to write! And have a great trip to China! Boy, that's a once in a lifetime opportunity! I think we're at MNSSHP the same day (Oct 26) so I'll look out for you in your costume! You look great in it!

Michelle, my sister and I thought it was kind of funny that with all the delicious food around us at the all-inclusive, the fries really stood out! But it's so hard to find good fries these days that I was really paying them a compliment when I raved about the fries! I seem to remember that the fries were very good on the Wonder so I'm sure the Magic will be the same!

Dena, hope the shots went okay with Emily! That's one thing I'm so grateful for now that my kids are older and that's that the kids don't have any more shots until they're 15. Although they had to take a Hepatitis A shot for Mexico and they were very put out about that!

I find I'm waking up thinking about what clothes I want to take on the cruise! The summer sped by so quickly so I know it'll be Oct 30 before I know it! Have a great day, everyone!

Dena

I am a respiratory therapist and work in the PICU at my hospital if you give Emily a little pediatric ibuprofin about an hour before her shots it seems to help.

Re costumes: We were considering dressing as pirates since we will be a family of 8, but my mom and sister have these great fairy godmother costumes from two years ago at MNSSHP so we may bust those out if we can convince my DN Gabby to go as Sleeping Beauty.

Emma way to go on those exams.

Thanks to everyone for all the tips I read the boards addictively every day (ok more than once a day) and it seems to just fuel the fire and I am more and more excited about the trip.

By the way we gave my DS a puppy for his birthday and Sir Disney graduated from puupy school last night. My DS was one very proud daddy.He is a 5 month old black Cocker Spaniel and they are so cute together.

Wendy

 

[mdvasquez]

We are back from the Drs. and Emily did pretty good. Thank you everyone for your good wishes and advice. I did give her some infant ibuprofin about an hour before we went and that seemed to help quite a bit. She now is 26 inches long and weighs 13lbs. 13 ozs. She is in the 95th% in height and only 25th% in weight. I keep saying she will be a model!

Karen & Emma, I sent some pictures to you.

Dena

 

[KEH]

Dena, we got the pictures. Thank you so much. That is one cute babe! A model - without a shadow of a doubt. She's gorgeous. You're looking pretty good yourself too if I may say so. I love the picture of you together. Emma hasn't seen the pictures yet - she is off celebrating her exam results with her friends.

 

[Tluvs2talk]

Emma- your Minnie Mouse costume is very cute. Congratulations on your exams!!!!


Dena- I would like to see a picture of Emily too. My e-mail is Tluvs2talk@aol.com

Kelly and Wendy- There are going to be a lot of pirates on the Ship. I think My Husband Rick is also going to be a pirate. We can have our own "Pirates Of The Caribbean".

Bob- WELCOME

Kelly- Are you talking about the Hampton Inn in Cocoa Beach? If yes, we stayed there twice and really liked it. We are staying at Raddisson this time because of all the great thinkd we have heard.

TO Everyone Else- HI


Teri

 

[mhb]

Good Morning everyone:

For those of you that have been on DCL Halloween cruises, what other things do they do for Halloween?

We are having our own T or T, but what does Disney do?

How long do you think our T or T will last? Do we do this in the morning or afternoon?

Sorry for all the ??, just starting to think of more details.


Dena: How did your DD make it through the night? I woke up wondering, don't know why but I did. LOL

Bob: We are on the same deck as you only AFT.

Wendy: Congrats for you DS and puppy.

I've got to go into the garden now. WEEDS, WEEDS, WEEDS.

Michelle

 

[BethC]

Hi everyone!!

Count us in too! We had booked this cruise quite some time ago when the rates first came out, but for the last several months we were almost certain we would have to cancel. But luck was on our side, we found some great airfare and were able to come up with the money at the last minute so we are definitely coming now. Woo-hoo!!

I'd love to sign the kids up for the Trick or Treating, they are so excited for this! My daughter Melanie is 11 and will be Cruella de Vill, and my son Jake is 9 and is going to be Captain Jack Sparrow. We're still working on the adult costumes but are definitely going to dress up, we LOVE Halloween! We will be in Stateroom 6556.

Thanks Ginger for putting this all together, it sounds like it will really be wonderful!
