I am finally caught up again. I was not too far wrong when I said that I doubted that the old thread would last beyond the end of June.
Happy 4th July to all who celebrate.

Corinna I love the second picture - think that's the Ivory one isn't it? It looks so unusual and pretty! Like the first one too though just love the detail on the second one!
I think they are both meant to be white, but as they are completely custom made, they can be made in any colour and I prefer ivory to wide. I think I am kind of leaning towards the second one as well.

Oh, I must go and have a look on Ebay. last time they only had the bigger one, and I want the smaller one. They do have another bag though, but it is quite thin and I'm not sure how much i would get in it.
I had been watching Ebay for ages and they never had this style bag. I had pretty much given up, but when I got the email from Overstock saying that they cannot confirm my order, I decided to have one last look and lucked out. I am hoping that this might arrive tomorrow.

Hey Everybody - I have not caught up yet because I was not on the boards yesterday - we received some bad news. My husband lost his job yesterday so we are in limbo. I am still on the cruise!!!
I am so sorry to hear this and hope that a new door will open for your husband soon. I am glad that you are still cruising with us.

I love both dresses. I do like the strapless style a little more. I know with wedding dresses you often have to try them on to see which style looks best on you. For my DD's wedding, she must have tried on hundreds of gowns until she found the perfect one. Just as for me, when she tried on the "perfect" dress, she know that was the "one".
Just my thoughts...
I intend to order it from Ebay again and just hope for the best. So far I have not been disappointed. My actual wedding dress was love at first sight. We had met my now mother in law in London for my birthday for a meal and a musical and then went back home with her for the weekend. We went shopping on the Saturday and she convinced me to go to one of the local department stores that had a bridal department. I wanted something very plain. I would have been mortified if anybody had suggested something as intricate as the two dresses I am considering now. The first dress I looked at was absolutely perfect.

Sarah- did you know that kiwi allergy is a cross-reaction to latex? Have you had any problems with latex? With our line of work it is so common...
I found that as a bride recently (DH told me tonight that we had been married 177 days today ) the strapless gowns are difficult to, um, not have slide down over the course of the night with dancing and everything. And I found as a bigger chested gal that they made my chest look humongous and more towards my waist than they are! I found I liked the support of straps and a place to hide bra straps if needed/wanted. Just my two cents.
I did not know that kiwi and latex allergies are linked as well. I know that banana and latex allergies are linked. Fortunately my latex allergy is fairly minor. I just get little blisters when I touch anything containing latex.
I know what you mean about strapless dresses slipping. My formal gown should be fine as it will be laced up tightly, but I have detachable clear straps for my other "strapless" dresses. Fortunately my favourite clothes store has the good sense to put little loops for detachable straps in all their strapless dresses.
Hi, we just booked this cruise! Problably too late for all the plans you guys have been making! But since we've cruised with a lot of you already, we're going to have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious time!
on board.
Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself (Lynne). My husband, Terry, and I will be on the TA cruise in Sept. We anticipate a great time, and can't believe how quickly it's approaching. Looking forward to getting to know everyone over the next couple of months, as we discuss the cruise. Have been in contact with Noel, and we will be joining you on the tour in Madeira.
This will be our 2nd
Disney cruise, although we have cruised other lines several times. We are big fans of all things Disney, so are eagerly awaiting the TA on the Magic....especially since it's our first time in Europe!
on board.
The other theme night, going on what I have read, is likely to be a "Villains" night. No dressing up, but a parade in the atrium of guests wearing masks "made" earlier in the day. There is a Villains show in the theatre, and presume a Villains menu?
On the Med, we had a Villains Menu, which was rather nice. I did not bother with any of the shows last cruise, but I am planning to see Villains Tonight this time round. People did not really dress up for this, but there was a couple of mask making activities during the day and then there was a kind of fashion show after dinner.
Hi. DD and I signed up at the beginning and had to cancel. I re-booked it the other day.
Last Wednesday, the 23rd, I had to have emergency eye surgery for a detached retina. Because of the procedure used, the nurses in the OR said September 16 might be too early to be allowed to fly.
Anyway, I don't know where to even begin to start reading and catching up on everything. Is it too late to participate in things and where do I find them? Please everyone, I need lots of Piixie Dust because I go to my doctor on Tuesday and hoping he'll tell me I can join everyone and be allowed to fly. Would love to see my old friends again. Actually, would love to 'see' better.
Bev
back. Hopefully you will be given the all clear to join us next week.
Good Morning everyone. Hope you don't mind another last minute joiner. Yesterday we found this great deal on this cruise and decided we couldn't pass up the opportunity. I booked my cabin and air ticket. Now I'm in a panic. HELP
We are coming in to Barcelona on the 14th and need help deciding where to stay and what to do. We have traveled in the US and on Disney cruises but never Europe and we don't speak anything but English. Disney lovers are the best so I feel ok reaching out for your help and asking you to share your knowledge with us.
Look forward to meeting all of you and sharing the excitement of planning for this cruise. Oh, we live in San Francisco so if any of you are coming to the west coast when the Wonder is here next year we would be happy to share info about our side of the country. We just came back from an Alaska cruise and have learned so much about that beautiful state.
Bob & Val
on board.
Nope - I don't mind at all. I do a lot of things like this at work - spreadsheets, pivot charts, power points... I can do it at the office nd no one will be any the wiser... I can also make it a pdf and post it to my photobook so people can have it ahead of time...
OK - does this work?
This was very easy to do and it will be easy to maintain - just remember that when you pick up your list check the outside of the envelope for changes. People can put the change on the outer sheet - or leave me a phone message and we will add it to the list if that is easier.
Thanks for doing this for us.
Well, Hurricane Alex, though no longer in most peoples' minds, created havoc in the area of Mexico where our mover was planning to cross to come into the US. He was stuck in Monterrey, MX for 2 days waiting for the rain to stop and the roads to become visible again, so our move is now totally off kilter.
We've been told he's crossing today and we should expect him in L.A. in 2 days. We now expect to be on the road on Tuesday! We are back to having dinner in Phoenix the first night!
At least we haven't turned the internet/cable system off yet! We can surf, we can surf, we can surf!!!
We are surrounded by boxes and we still have a few small things to do. The good thing about packing up - we found about $400 in Disney Gift Cards that we didn't know we had! That will definitely help pay that final bill onboard!
Michael
I am sorry that the weather put a spanner in the works as far as your move is concerned. Hopefully it will go smoothly from here on in. Well done for finding the gift cards though.
Does whoever created this design have a larger format of it they could either post or email to me?
Thanks!
The design was created by Brooklyn, who was supposed to come on this cruise, but then changed to the EBTA and first Med cruise.
A lanyard pin is a pin you attach to your lanyard by pressing the pin through the lanyard and fastening in on the back. I use special pin holders to be sure the pin is safe. You can buy the fasteners where ever you buy your pins.
Here is a picture of a pin that you would attach to a lanyard.
I love this pin. I collect Figment pins, but have never seen this one before.
All going well, I have my video appointment for my custom jewellery to go with my formal dresses on Thursday. I am so excited. This has not gone entirely to plan either. I got the beads that will be used in the jewellery. I have chosen white pearls and Swarovsky crystals in various shapes in pink white and light blue. Of course, this was all planned when I thought my second dress would be blue and pink. When I got my dress, I was close to going back to the drawing board, but I decided against it in the end. I am sure it will still look lovely with the dress.
Corinna
How scary!! I'll chek it later.....Have to laugh about the panty hose though (we call them 'tights' by the way 
) as I don't actually own any......
