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

[KEH]

Welcome, Beth!

Michelle, DCL has a trick or treat but it seemed very crowded and disorganised last year and I don't think they were giving away much candy.

We have just about come back down to earth here after yesterday's exam results. The next big milestone is Emma's first day at College, followed by her trip to China, then DISNEY!!!

 

[KEH]

It just struck me - those bouncies wobble in much the same way I do when I jump up and down!

 

[mdvasquez]

WELCOME BETHC.

MICHELLE: Disney usually has TorTing for the kids, but I can tell you it is quite a mad house!!! We enjoy the TorTing that we set up so much better!! Disney also has an adult costume party as well as parties for the kids in the kids clubs. I think we met last year for our TorTing 11:00 am and it usually lasts for about an hour. Disney has theirs in the afternoon sometime.

Thank you for asking about Emily. She did okay. She went to be at 8 and woke at 12 and 5.

Teri: I will send you the pictures of Emily sometime today.

Have a great day everyone.

Dena

Looking at 1 1/2 hours, tops.
I'm moving this forward for those who haven't read it.

Yes, last year the group I led missed 1 room, my fault, there was to many last minute changes and I couldn't keep up.. I'm going to work hard on that not happening this year.

This year we're going to have a check-in sheet. Also no last minute bringing your goodies to the lobby. If you know you're not going to be in your stateroom because you'd rather go to Bingo, that's fine, but let me know before 9:30 a.m.
I try to work it so it only takes an hour for all the children to hit all the rooms. I do this by breaking down the large group into many smaller groups, having each group start on a different deck working their way to all. Looking at this years count I would say that we'll have at least 3 groups, if not 4. I will take one group, my DH has agree to take another, we'll need 2 more leaders. Do we have any volunteers?
Also parents are welcome to come along, we will give you time to get to your stateroom before we come knocking.

We really haven't decided on a time. Knowing that Sunday is a character breakfast morning and second seating for that is 9:45a.m., how would 11:00 a.m. be for everyone? We'll all gather at the Atrium Lobby at 11:00 a.m. check-in with me, take pictures, gather the children into groups with a leader and get them started on their hunt for staterooms by no later than 11:20 a.m.. I'll have the maps made so children return to the Atrium Lobby, where you can meet them if your not along with us. I'm also going to be handing out paper signs to be placed on your stateroom doors. I'll have them on me during check-in at the port. If you miss me there come by my stateroom I'll have them, somehow, in my fishes mouth, take one and place it on you door before the T-orT we'll be looking for them.

Please make sure that you print the finally copy of the list. It will have all this information and any updates on it. Look for that on Oct 3.

Dena i just posted for you to send me a shot of Emily, then I went to check my email and there she was. OH!!!!!!!!!!!! she is so pretty, I can't wait to hold her.

 

[Tluvs2talk]

WELCOME BETH

Dena- I got your pictures of Emily. She is adorable

Ginger- 11:00 for Trick or treating sounds good to me.

To everyone else I hope you all had a great day. It was cloudy but hot here in Charleston. I cut most of my yard today and had to jump in the pool several times to cool off. I was almost finished when a big thunderstorm came up and forced me to call it quits. I guess I will finish the job tomorrow. I am dreaming of the cruise and counting down till D- Day. (Disney Cruise day)

Hi Everyone,

Re: Formal Night

I was speaking to DCL Friday and asked if anyone knew what night "formal night" was being held...her answer was to inform me that "they do not know..you'll find out when you board the ship and look at your navigator."

I hope that it means that it will be going ahead, just one another night. Even though I do not have my dress yet and I'm starting to hate shopping for it (this is a major for a "shopaholic"- my husband's word, not mine) But I have a dress for Jennifer, DH has his suit and DS is getting his just prior to going (little worried of buying too early and him growing out of it)

Emma: Congrats on the marks...Jennifer will be e-mailing sometime this week...having problems with her e-mail, yet again!!

Dena: Happy to hear Emily did so great with her needle!!!

KEH: Sorry, I don't know your name. If it's not too personal
I have noticed lately that you have a purple ribbon saying "For Sophie"... I was wondering if this was for someone close to you?

Ginger: 11:00 sounds great to me!!! fantastic job one again!!



See you on board,

Kelly

 

[KEH]

Hi Kelly,

The purple ribbon is for a little girl called Sophie who is one of the granddaughters of EmmasGrammy who often posts on the cruise board. Her daughter and other granddaughter, Emma, died in a fire last week and a number of us on the boards are displaying the purple ribbon in support of baby Sophie who was injured and is fighting for her life in hospital. The main threads about this are on the cruise board - sorry I'm not sure how to post the links. Look for a thread titled "An indescribable tragedy".

This story just about breaks your heart and I haven't been able to get it put of my mind since it happened. Showing the ribbon just seemed like a way to show I was thinking about them.

Karen

 

[goofymom67]

Hi everyone,

I'll be glad to help lead a group also. I think 11 sounds great!!

Emma-Great job on those grades!!!

I'm assuming since T & Ting is at 11am that everyone wears their costumes to breakfast, is that right? then does everyone stay in their costumes all day?

How do we add the purple ribbon for sophie?

 

[KEH]

There is a thread on the main cruise board titled "Purple Ribbon for Sophie". That has a link for you to paste in your signature.

I found a dress today for Formal night. I have never had a formal gown, since I didn't get to go to my prom in High school 16yrs ago. and I have been on 4 cruises and never bought a fancy dress. So today I went David's Bridal here in Pa and found a ballgown for $49.99 and then got shoes that are going to be dyed to match. Both cost me about $105. Now that I got a dress how do I pack it so that it doesn't wrinkle. It is satin. Can I get it steamed on board? Can I trust Disney not to ruin it? I guess I am scared that something might happen to it.

 

[mdvasquez]

Hey everyone. It's raining in FL today.

alwatlers: I know what you mean about wearing a formal gown. I graduated from a small private christian school, and we didn't have a prom. So the first time I sailed on the Magic I went shopping a Dillards just after prom time and bought two prom dresses that were marked down to under $25.00 each. I was so excited. Last year I did the same thing.

This year, because I still had my baby weight in July, I did not go to buy a new formal gown. So I will have to wear one of the ones I previously bought. Oh well, at least I will be on the cruise.

KAREN: I cried when I read the story about Sophie, Emma and family. It is such a sad tragedy. I think about and pray for that family every day.

Well, that is all of my news for today.

Dena

A couple of years ago I bought 2 basic floor lenght black skirts, one is typered the other is has a more full flowing look. I have different blouses to wear along with them. They have worked out very well for me in the past but not sure if they are going to fit this year.
I went shopping on Friday, just to J.C. Penney. BOY!!!!! I have to tell you that the fashions I saw for this year are just boring and flat out ugly. I would love to get some new casual clothes for dinner. I like things that look tailored with some color, not much but something other than G.I. JOE green.
I saw some really nice things in a mail order catalog but I have problems buying from catalogs. Things never fit me right, too much up top. I keep telling my DH that one of these day I going to find a good doctor(PS) to trim my twin girlfriends down.


We'eeelll!!!!!!!!!!! Y'all I'ma gonna say good nite. See u all in a few days, back to the ole mines for me.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

 

["Ginger"]

Hey what happened? We all just lost our purple ribbons? What do you think that means? I hope Sophie is o.k.. we've been praying very hard for her.

 

[Tluvs2talk]

Hi Everyone,
We had Gason come through here this morning dumping almost 5 inches of rain. My yard is a mess!!! We have limbs and leaves everywhere. I just spent 3 days mowing and cleaning my yard. I guess I will have to start over again tomorrow WE did manage to clean the pool and pool area this afternoon. We had 2 wheelbarrows full of limbs and leaves just in that area. We lost power this morning, but thank goodness we had it restored around 8:30 tonight. Anyway I can't complain to much. We didn't have any damage just mess. I hope everyone had a great weekend.


Teri

 

[vikingfans]

Tluvs2talk,

Hope you have no serious damage. Being in Nebraska, we only have tornados, although those can be just as devistating.

Hope you have no more storms this year

and I hope everyone is ok.

 

[Tluvs2talk]

vikingfans,

THANKS!! SC has already broke a record this year. We have had 4 storms hit our coast so far this year. I pray we have calmer weather ahead.
Teri

 

[mhb]

Good Morning everyone:

Ginger: I had to laugh about your post to trim the girls. I just starting taking golf lessons and they keep getting in the way. They keep telling me to keep my arms away from my rib cage, but the girls keep getting in the way.

Teri: Sorry to hear about the mess you had. Seems like we go 2 steps ahead and 1 step back. Glad you didn't have any real damage.

Judi: Glad you found soemthing at David's. I work at a mom and pop bridal salon, and even with my discount I can't find anything. Don't want to spend too much, where am I going to wear a formal again? Maybe I'll have to book another cruise to get my money's worth out of it!!

Kelly: My DS was wondering when Jennifer would email. I'll let him know she had computer problems.

Karen: I know what you mean about Sophie and her family. I just keep thinking and praying for them too. They have a Memorial fund set up on the main boards. I'm sure you've seen it. Even though I haven't been on these boards long, you can just feel the community spirit. I don't even know these people and I feel like I need to do something. I guess praying is the best thing.

Well I better get up from this computer and go to the gym. I'll be on later. Hope everyone has a good day.

Michelle
