*Sept 10th 2011 WB Transatlantic* - From Spain to Space Mountain - Part 6

[PFlamingo]

I wouldn't think anyone would mind if you didn't wear a dress for formal ... nice tops and trousers can look just as elegant, and you can bling them up with a bit of jewellery. I am totally casual at home, so the cruise is my one and only chance to try and feel a bit glam .... so I do like wearing dresses to dinner. Whatever we wear, we are sure to have a ball !!!!

Same here! I believe I've mentioned living in the cultural wasteland of the universe, where getting "dressed up" means removing one's baseball cap. Dennis and I plan to dress to the nines - formal, semi-formal, Palo, Villians - any excuse we can find.

I like the idea of a personal packer, do you think they would have the knack of compressing the clothes as they pack !!! that would be really helpful in my case. Sarah I think that makes 8 dresses, which is much less than my 21 so in my eyes I think you are doing great so far

No don't tell sarah that, because it makes sense !!! being practical just isn't in my game plan

I'm up to 6 dresses - so far. Practical? What's that mean? This is why I'm buying that second checked bag.

I certainly wouldn't mind seeing you in pants and nice tops. I DID feel somewhat offended at the man who showed up with his shirt tail hanging out and his baseball cap on, though And the man in the muscle shirt with hair um.

Eew, eew, eeeeeewwwww!!! And you're already familiar with my views on wearing baseball caps in restaurants.

The problem is I have two semi-formal dresses that I really want to wear .. one because I love it and the other because I think it is flattering ( flattering = drapey fabric that hides a multitude of sins )

Hel-llooo - one for semi-formal night, one for Palo. If you can only bring one, make it the one you love.


Okay, so I was trying on a dress I bought on ebay, and it has a side zip, which I couldn't seem to get to the top. So I asked Dennis to zip it for me and... he caught my skin in the zipper. Owww! He apologized profusely and raved over the dress (it did look pretty good), and I said, "Okay, unzip me," and... he did it again, only lower! The poor guy felt sooo bad, and I had to explain to him that there were assorted fat rolls on me and he needed to zip and unzip slooowwwly!

Good grief!! Not only did they not ship it for signature only or insure it, they JUST SHIPPED IT!!!

Stay tuned!![/COLOR]

That's insane! I hope they are on it big time.

Noel, I am pretty sure that the Post Office at the incorrect zip code will just make the correction and send it on.

Prayers and that happens but I haven't had very good experiences with the USPS with other packages!

I am looking for opinions on this: I work in a very public place, so I always get a flu shot in the fall. It seems a bit early, but my local Walgreen's has a big sign announcing that "FLU SHOTS ARE AVAILABLE NOW!" Since we'll be flying in germ-ridden airplanes and stopping in germ-ridden airports, I am wondering if it might be smart to get the shot before I go. What do you think? Better early?

Thanks for any advice,
Karen

I would check with my own Physician to see what she or he thinks. I got my first one last year before we went on the WBTA.

:Sounds lovely!

I shall have 1 choice of color - Black. Black with black. black with silver. and just plain black. All the better to make a background for all you lovely young things

Thanks Linda. I hope it will make for a nice photo, but who knows what our faces will be doing when they are caught on film We like to meet the characters, but rarely do the photo ops too.

I will probably bring a black dress for the semi-formal but I'm torn b/c I really am a color person, in casual wear and in fancy dresses, I just like color! But that makes it hard for travel due to shoes, so I don't know what I'm going to bring. I am going shopping with a friend this weekend though, so there may be a whole new dress (or shoes, or both!) added to the menagerie.

Yes, they are as I paid with a credit card. I have told them I will contest the bill as I specified insured UPS and paid extra for insurance.

If they don't find it soon, I am demanding they make news and ship overnight at THEIR EXPENSE!! If not, I will just contest it on my credit card and they will be out the cost as I have all my correspondence with the company.

I have a question. Sorry if it has been answered on here before. I am able to keep up with facebook but this thread goes so fast. Has the Mickey Mouse Club disbanned for this trip? I remembered seeing it a few weeks ago but I don't see it on this thread. I am trying to update my notebook with planned events and get shirts and transfers ready.

I laughed so hard at these two descriptions. Here in Texas dressing up is accomplished with a CLEAN baseball cap, still worn to the table!!

Noel, you were so wise to build in the 2 week buffer. So sorry you are facing this headache !

Good question! Was wondering same. . .

I love that we can either dress to the nines or slip on something comfy for dinner and all will be well. What a wonderful thing is a Disney cruise! I think as long as you aren't dripping from the pool or wearing a saggy, armpit-showing tank-type undershirt (fellas, this is for YOU) to dinner my appetite will remain healthy. Have sat next to both these options on various cruise dinners, and it wasn't pleasant

I would just like to wish a very safe weekend to everyone else on the East Coast who is in the potential path of Irene. Looks like its going to be bad... Not looking forward to sunday. RI hasn't had a bad hurricane in a long while. I'll be surprised if we don't lose power.

 

[STLUCIELADY]

Ok, looks like we really don't have any more info on the Mickey Mouse club event other than it will be on Sept 19th (at least that I can see ). I'll just wait and see what is planned before I buy anything.

 

[dylan'smom]

...Mine just mopes around when he sees us packing. No screaming or surprises in our bed, but a pouty face and very sad eyes to look at. Something like this:

OMGosh......! This is seriously sad....
Poor puppy..... and so effective...I even feel guilty!!

Our dog acts up more than usually..when it gets closer he just looks sad..it doesn't seem to bother the other ones.

My dog always pouts... She used to get in my suitcase while I was packing.. and not looking.. and she would leave a little present.. guess she wanted to pack her s***. Anyway one time my DH was leaving to go on a trip for business. I told him not to leave the lid open on the suitcase if he was not in the room. He listened and all was well. Well... sorta... he was getting dressed the next morning and he was about to put his shoe on when..... well something came rolling out! She found a way to make sure he did not forget he left her at home!.... and really she is house broken!

Does anyone have a photo of the Mickey Mouse Club graphic?

Awwww, poor puppy too!! Just wanted to pack her stuff too!!!!!

Good thing Danny didn't miss it & put the shoe on first, I'm thinking though....

I know.. he is lucky.. he said he lifted it and sorta turned it as he was putting it on... and it fell out... how did a 5 lb dog do that? We still laugh about it every time we think about it.... soo soooooo funny!

For those of you with GTY awaiting rooms... maybe they are working on them. I had looked a couple days ago to see what other category 9Cs were around me, and it showed the standard seven random cabins, plus I could specifically look up numbers around me and found several right around me (not listed in the standard seven that popped up). Today, you can't even choose 9C.

Just thought I would share... thinking they have blocked those out to start doing some assigning!!

Larry has been checking availability several times daily , just because DCL seems to be making changes by the hour. What's available in the morning is gone by noon, then back an hour or so later. Sometimes one or more GTY cat is showing, usually none. He finds it entertaining ; I find it annoying! (OK, self, breathe in, breathe out....let it go ...we will have a cabin)

You OWN 21 DRESSES????

WOW. JUST. WOW. I have lots of clothes, but I'm not sure 21 pieces of anything I own all fit at any one time! I have my normal wardrobe, as well as larger sizes (just in case ) and smaller (I really will exercise and lose weight....).

I did go shopping today and bought four new shirts, two pairs of shoes, and a pair of pants; they were all on clearance and were a steal . I also picked up fabric markers for pillowcases and computer labels for my FE's/Candy Swap bags. It's all coming together now .

I'm excited to hear when the Mixology/Mojito tastings will be ...yum.

I got mine in the Atlanta airport (the shot, not the flu) on the way to Hawaii one year (but I think it was January, well into flu season) - same reasoning - I was potentially going to be exposed to a variety of strains of viruses (including the flu), so better safe than sorry. It does seem a little early in the season - but I agree with Noel that you could ask your MD/NP.

LADIES, this goes for you, too.

I have a shirt and my ears (personalized) - we don't have to DO anything, just wearing them on the same night makes me smile.

Were there specific activities you were interested in? maybe you have experience with this; I haven't been on a DIS cruise where they did MM Club night.

although the one I used said "Member" at the top. I'll keep looking.
