Roll call for the 10/23/2004 Western Magic. Who's with us?

[kamgen]

Hey everybody!! It is lunch time here at work, and I am sneaking on to post!!! LOL!
I am sorry I have not been around...things have been so hectic! Well, I am at my new job, which doesn't allow for as much computer time, but once we get settled in to our new place and hook up, I will be here!! So look out!

I am so ready to cruise...and so ready for hurricane season to be over! Looks like Ivan is on his way.....we will see what happens!

Just wanted to say hi!!!! Cannot wait to cruise with all my friends!!!!! :thewave:

 

[Soccermom-Cheri]

I found an old thread called "roll call 10/23/04 Magic w/ kids". I was hoping that we could use that one for our kids to post on. (I had my kids put up something already to break the ice.)

That way this thread stays for the big kids. :

Heidi, I'm with you I WANT THEM NOW!!!!!

We leave in 40 days from today for FL I can't wait but I still have lots to do. We did pull down all the suitcases from the attic. Eugene is the only one that has started to pack. I've been way too busy working.
Hey Sandy long time now speak I need to call you soon.

I'm worrier about Ivan. Does anyone know how CC is doing?

Got to run, lots to do.

Faith

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Faith, long time!!! Call me anytime next week. Yes I am a worrier also. Sounds like CC did fine on the last hurricane. Now we have to wait and see from IVAN. Ron Jons has closed for a short time as well from water damage. If it stays closed, we will probably join you at WDW!! And by the way, STOP trying to get out of parasailing!!

 

[BeanoC]

Gee, we're not starting to get excited, are we now??

Hey Faith, has concierge called you yet? I haven't heard from them, but I expect they'll call within the next week or 2. I got a list of "to do's" ready for 'em!


Gimme gimme gimme! LOL

Hi All....

Just peeked in on another thread and they are the week before our cruise. Some of them have checked on when they are getting docs and it looks like they have about 2 weeks......so I guess that means we have about 3???????

Well with good vibes maybe it'll be sooner!!!!!!!!

Have a good weekend everyone......

We're going shopping today for toiletries etc. for the cruise!!!

I wanna go I wanna go

Smiles,
Ronnie

Cheri, I had my kids post there. Boys of many words (not).

MY MAJOR FUNCTIONS ARE OVER!!!!! Sorry for yelling, but we had a bunch of time-consuming obligations on our plates this early Fall. And now they are out of the way, and I can think about the cruise. Only problem, will there be anywhere left to dock in the Caribbean by the time we leave? Fairy dust to all of you in Hurricane Ivan's path.

Went down the shore Saturday & stayed in Cape May but went over to Wildwood to go on the boardwalk & encountered the "ROAR TO THE SHORE" . It was really something to see - 1,000's of Harley's all in one place!

The weather in New Jersey is beautiful. The sun is up & the humidity is down.

I am still really nervous about the cruise & hope they are working REALLY hard to get Port Canaveral back in shape. Hope all our ports of call are still standing!

Hope you all have a blessed Sunday & a great week. Toodles JEANNE

Hi everyone...

I have some good news to share...I've finally found a job!

Yup...after months of looking and in some cases I guess being too picky...I've finally found something that fits. Actually, it's kind of funny...I was offered two jobs within 4 days. One was something that appealed to the photographer in me...but the other won out due to flexibility, pay and commute. So...now all I have to worry about, if you can call it "worrying"...is about the cruise!

I was going to feel pretty bad going on this cruise and spending money when I wasn't making any...but that's all different now baby! Bring on those sailaway drinks!

-----------------------

And on a very belated note....HAPPY BIRTHDAY RONNIEJO!

I've been so wrapped up in my "worries" I haven't been good about certain things.

----------------------

Can't wait to see you guys!

 

[RonnieJo66]

:thewave: Congratulations to you Dana!!!!!!

I'm sure you are glad that you hung in there and waited for just the right job.......woohoo!!!!

AWESOME....

Thanks for the birthday wishes.......

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I "got" voluteered to help out tomorrow at my daughters school.....photo day!!! Hope I don't have to do anything important!!! ha ha ha ....I can't guarantee how it'll turn out!

Stop me before I volunteer again

Smiles to All,

Ronnie

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Congratulations Dana, that must be a huge relief for you to have found a job!!

Three weeks, I hope I can wait that long!!! I think I will start the countdown to the docs first before I start my countdown to the cruise!!!

I had to re-read: Happy Belated birthday Ronnie. (Sorry, I missed the post about your birthday!!!)

 

[RonnieJo66]

Thank you Heidi for the birthday wishes....see you spread it out and your birthday lasts longer

Bummer about the docs huh?! GIMME GIMME GIMME

Guess we'll have to try to be patient.....

Good Monday morning to everyone!

Smiles,

Ronnie

Hi Everyone,

We did actually get back after labor day, but I have been so busy that I have just been lurking and not posting! Finally, we had decent weather in N. Wisconsin It was actually warm and sunny for 3 days We drove home on Sunday when it started raining up there again!

On Friday we met Denise & John (Skylynx and Impala) for dinner and had a wonderful time. They were a lot of fun to talk with and I am REALLY excited about the cruise now! I even started packing Darrah's clothes yesterday (OK - I'm nuts. It still well over a month until we leave.)

I'm still not happy with my formal/semi-formal options, but I haven't been able to find anything I like. In my closet, I do have "reasonable" things I can wear - I'm just not excited about them.

I have a crazy question for all of the black-glove ladies - does anyone else have a secret desire to wear a tiara? I can remember being quite irritated with my father when I was 8 when I found out I couldn't be a princess because he wasn't a king! Other than a couple of halloween costumes as I was growing up, I've never had a chance to wear a tiara (it was definitely NOT in-style for homecoming or prom when I was in school.) My DH is already horrified about the gloves (too "weird") and would probably freak out if I wanted to wear a "crown" also!.

Hopefully, there will be something left of the caribbean when we get there - I keep checking out the hurricane sites trying to see what is getting smashed now Hopefully, Grand Cayman will recover before we cruise. It sounds pretty good for Castaway Cay and at least Key West doesn't look like it is going to get a direct hit from Ivan.... It isn't clear if Cozumel is going to get some of Ivan or not - I sure hope not!

Have a great week everybody!

Pamela

 

[tchrmom]

Hello everyone!

Looks like Ivan is going to miss Tampa! YEAH!!!!!!!

I know that only happened because I stood in a 3 hour line for plywood on Friday! But............now I have it for the next time!

DD had a gymnastic competition this weekend, so I was really praying that Ivan didn't visit. We have state qualifiers next weekend, then we're off to Disney for a weekend "fix" on the 25th. I'm ready! I even have my Chef Mickey ressies.

(tchrmom looks out the window for Mr. UPS. She KNOWS what "Brown" can do for her!)

No docs yet!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday RonnieJo!!

Congrats Dana on the job! I am so happy for you.

Pamela, every girl wants to wear a tiara. On our last cruise there was a "joke" with all of us about a feather boa and tiara. Give up the gloves for the hubby and wear the tiara. Heidi actually bought a very small one thinking that she would wear it on the cruise. She just hasn't had the time to try it on yet.

 

[DudetteTwo]

I tried to talk the other Disney Dudettes into wearing tiara's on the last cruise but they just wouldn't go for it. "All girls are princesses".

DANA: Congratulations on the new job!

RONNIEJO: Happy Belated Birthday .

Getting VERY excited. Just hope the Western Caribbean is still standing!

Hope you all have a stressless week. Back to work for three in a row tomorrow. Disney Dudette #3 daughter gets married on Saturday. I hope the rain they predict doesn't come. Toodles JEANNE

Hi, Everybody

As Pamela reported, we had a chance to meet for dinner on Friday and had a wonderful time getting each other wound up for the cruise. We found out we have lots in common (other than geography) How nice to meet someone not just on our cruise, but in our neck of the woods! One of the many reasons why I love disboards.

Pamela, I'll bring my tiara (and wear it), so if you get one and want to wear it, you won't be alone ;-) Besides, Dan might just warm up to the black gloves and/or tiara once he sees how gorgeous you are in them!

Dana...congrats on the job. I'm still waiting for that elusive full time offer while teaching part time at a junior college, freelancing instructional design, freelance writing corporate newsletters, dogsitting, and, yes, even working for the Disney Store and getting my short but satisfactory chance to be a cast member (while Disney still owns the DS). You can really enjoy the cruise now, guilt-free (though I went on another cruise just after I got laid off and managed to postpone the guilt trip until AFTER.) Sounds like you'll be needing an "I'm Celebrating" button!

John has managed to find a white tuxedo jacket on eBay, and plans to live out his James Bond fantasy by wearing it one night to dinner (he's British, so very good at this role). At least until he gets barbecue sauce spills on it. He will be alternating between that one and his black tux, as we continue our campaign to be voted The Most Overdressed Couple Onboard.

Wondering how Grand Cayman fared Ivan. Our Chicago Tribune had a cartoon that showed a car passing a "Welcome to Florida" sign on a highway and the "o" in Florida was a graphic of a circling hurricane. I cut it out to save.

Happy Monday, everyone. Time to dig out the fins and send the glam gear to the dry cleaner!

Iwanted to say hi to beano.kamgen,tchrmom,tarzan, dmoss and to whomever else i forgot...I was w/ you guys on the 10/18/03 cruise w/ my daughter Calina & husband Ted. Wish I could cruise again, but I just delivered twin boys on 8/9.. How different my life is from a year ago. Calina still talks about the cruise!!! Have a bunch of sail away drinks for me!!
