You are so right about "What happens on a Disney cruise stays on a Disney cruise!"

 

[jns]

I celebrated my last day of been 39 instead of been 40th last June , been waiting along time for my birthday present
22 more days to go

 

[Disneygrl36]

So we have 20 days until we cruise now..........

Here's the only packing I have in progress at the moment.
This is the box I am mailing ahead to the ship full of Halloween stuff & treats for my fellow dissers, door decorations & odds & ends, small gifts for our server team & room steward, etc.
Before.......I realized I was going to need a bigger box

Neater in the bigger box

I love your Mickey decoration at work. Looking forward to more!

 

[Disneygrl36]

Woohoo Jackie........we will both be so ready to CELEBRATE good times, come on.....

Melanie I love the Halloween decorations. I need to get some up and soon. I love Halloween but have been very busy.

Thanks for the compliment on the decorations. When you have a Halloween bday you tend to like to celebrate it.

Lynn. Glad to have you along for the ride. I loved that house & those Halloween disney decorations so much. A friend at work told me about seeing them (they were going to get them for me for my bday) but I went straight after work & picked them up & then they were mad at me.: I told them, you all know me & my Disney obsession & about this Halloween trip, did you really think I wouldn't go buy them for myself. DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!

:Welcome: Lennie. Glad to have you here. I trip reports with pictures so that's why I like to include them. I think they make the story more real & help you get to know the people better.

Great plans and I can't wait to hear all about it.

[Fairy_Tale_Bride]

I'm here and I am all caught up!

I love that you are going to be Mary Poppins! I can't wait to see the pictures and I am sure you will be perfect in every way!

You know I love your little Mickey friend! That is my favorite part! I can't wait to see all the food he has to show off this time!

I loved seeing the older MNSSHP pics. It's amazing to see how much they have improved it year to year!

When and where did you get that Mickey trick-or-treat bucket?

Oh, and all that candy looks awesome! I wish I was crusin' with you guys! I'd be hyper the whole time with all the sugar!

I love the Disney decorations at work! The Halloween display is so neat! Did it all come as a set or are those ornaments you bought? I love the Mickey as Peter Pan! He's so cute!

And you will be celebrating your birthday too! Lucky you! I know it's going to be a fun one!

Lindsey.........so glad you made it here. I can't wait for my trip. irate: Mickey is very excited to show off lots of things for the cruise....especially the food. I got the Mickey pumpkin several years ago at Walmart of all places. I got the Halloween display that I have at work at Hallmark. The house was seperate & then there is a set of 4 Disney Halloween ornaments. I filled up the other windows with some paper ghosts & bats. It's really cute. Can't wait to celebrate my bday too!!!! Thanks for reading along.

Dan. Glad you found me. : Tell Candi not to be mad at me. I would hate to put you over the edge on your desire to go on a Disney cruise....... I hope we have time too......I gotta take a daily nap, so I can stay up late or at some point I am sure I will crash.

I will try to get another update up tomorrow.

 

[Disneygrl36]

Well today it happened..........

Our cruise documents came. Yippee It is SO real now that I have my documents in hand.
Here they are with Captain Potato Head & Pirate Mickey....who were so excited to see them.

Notice the color of the luggage tags. I got LIME GREEN TAGS............WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!

In related news.......Mr Potato Head is getting really excited for this cruise as well. He knows we will bring him back some new parts as a consolation present for not being able to go on the cruise.

Here he is showing off his Pirate attire.

Here he is being a chef because he cannot wait to see what kind of yummy food we eat.

Expect to see alot more of Mr Potato Head in this trip report..he's like our 2nd mascot.

I promised some new stuff updates.
Our biggest new thing for the trip is a new digital camera. I wanted a better zoom.....so we got a new Kodak Easyshare z712.

These are my new tennis shoes.......notice the color. A diser has to love some lime green tennies.

Here's is some of the Halloween loot I have bought for the Dis kids trick or treat.

Next up more new stuff & things to be excited about...........

I AM READY TO GO!!!!!!!

Melanie... I LOVE my Kodak .. I have the Z612, bought last year. I hope you love yours!
