Cool I wouldn't dare to eat something in that dress.

The white one is VERY BEAUTIFUL. I was thinking about sth similar but a little shorter plus purple...

How do you guys pack all those dresses???

I havent packed my dresses as of yet. I plan on a few folds then rolling them.
The white one is really a pale ivory, just shows up white.
The purple one is a bridesmaid's dress. We have one formal/bridal shop here and a Dillard's.
Most of the dresses looked like the should be for the "Pimp and Hoe Night" and since Disney wasn't doing THAT night I went for the bridal shop!

This was Thursday's heat... not that uncommon here

Looks like you all will need to turn on the fans soon.

Off topic, but DH and I are planning on buying a class C motorhome next year. We want to drive to California, Utah, Arizona, Montana (taking a month+ - it's about 5000+ kms each way). We also want to return to the Canadian East Coast again (about 5000km return), and back down to DW (about 5000km return also). So with 3 big trips planned in the next 6 years, as well as our love for camping locally, we are thinking it would be a great thing for us. I can't imagine taking the huge drive to California in our minivan - my ears and um, butt, (or nose, really!) couldn't take 5 or 6 of us in a van for that long, even if we took it slow. It is a dream to show my kids the lower 48 plus the Canadian provinces - all of them. We have done about 12 US states so far by road, and 4 Canadian provinces. If you can't torture kids with roadtrips when they are young, everyone loses out!
Anyone out there have a class C?

We have a class A, but would love to talk to you about RVing across country! We took our first trip in winter 2008/2009 and went to 23 states over a 5 month journey. You will have a wonderful time!!! Our nephew and his family just stopped by our house for a couple of days in a class C that sounds just like what you are looking at. They loved traveling in it - 2 kids and a dog onboard. Plenty of room and not difficult to drive and find a place to park (unlike our 37 foot class A!) We parked them in our drive for 2 nights, plugged in their electric. We learned LOTS of things on our journey that we would love to share - money saving tips, etc. We should get together over a cup of coffee on the cruise and talk. We planned another trip this summer to cover the northern states, but....life got in the way. So, hopefully next spring/summer we will be on the road again.

Thanks! The one we are looking at is 31 feet long! Eeek. But has bunkbeds so gives us lots of sleeping room.

This sounds just like the one our nephew was in. Very, very nice with everything you will need to be comfortable and safe.

What was that film? the hilarious one with the motor home, like the hotel in orlando? my brains frazzled.

Yep, RV with Robin Williams! Very funny movie. We bought it and watched it in our RV (parked at our house) just after we bought the RV. The one they used was made by the same company that made ours....same seatbelt issue.

Wheres all the kids

Thrown overboard by the wave???

 

[Hoagie Pie]

Wheres all the kids

Well 2 things that are missing - first, it was so cold everybody was in sweatshirts and secondly, all the pools were closed. We were not allowed in any of them - closed because of weather! It sounds like a bummer, but it was actually very fun. They had tons of stuff for us to do in Diversions, Promenade Lounge, etc. If you could stand and walk, you were in good shape because it was choppy.

 

[UKANGEL]

for the princess night

and for villian night

shoes are still on the look list

Annie

What beautiful dresses Annie!

Talk about freakish weather! We are in Northern Virginia (near Washington, DC) and this year we have had the snowiest winter, the hottest summer-almost 100 again today-and an 3.6 EARTHQUAKE this morning! I've lived here all my adult life and have never heard of an earthquake in this area. Next thing you know, it'll be raining cats and dogs

Andrea

Wow! That must have been scary, the only time I've experienced anything like that was on a Greek Island, but that was more tremors than a quake...but quite enough for me!

They are silicone bands as thin as rubber bands formed into different shapes, that have enough memory to return to their formed shape when you take them off. There are some designs that are large enough for an adult to wear, but some of the smaller designs can be a bit tight.

Silly Bandz is the main brand around here,

but there are tons of knock off brands (groovy bands, etc.) Disney just licensed a line of Disney character and Princess bands made by Forever Collectible.

I LOVE these....must look out for some when we're over in the US! Becky would love the dinosaur one.... (she's a Geology/Paleobiology student)

I guess if you are going to show yours I should show mine.

Here is my formal night dress and shoes. I just need to accessorize with maybe a mink stole, a cowbell necklace and tiara.

Found one:

Brilliant!

Finally caught up reading. Couldn't reply....

But please sign me up for the champagne pink boas thing! I am so there!!

Single digits!! 9 weeks. YAY!!!!!

Welcome to the Champagne Girls, Steffy!

This was Thursday's heat... not that uncommon here

Annie

OMG! I would never survive that! We think it's hot here when it hits 80!!!

I think we reached half that this week!! Oh, and it IS summer here.



(Must add we have had a bit of a heat wave a few weeks ago, but it has gone now. So I really mustn't grumble, but I will!!)

Still very warm here 'dahn saff' Marilyn, though we have had some rain on and off...sorry!

It sounds like a great plan Connie. You're doing such a good job. I hope my info helped. If you have any other questions or need any other help, just let me know. I'm so excited for all the new Champagne Girls to be getting together to have some fun!! I'm anxiously awaiting your pictures.

HI PJ.....I miss you!!! I love your Mickey avitar....very nice. I should have been on this cruise. I know you're all going to have a great time. It's a great group of DISers. Cheers!!

Deb...you know you should be here with us don't you? I shall be raising my glass to you on the cruise...and then we get to do it properly after

We were on the 2007 WBTA, and we crossed the Atlantic with warm, sunny weather and amazingly calm seas. We are hoping it's the same this time, but know that was NOT the norm, and we were lucky.

Here are some pictures of the calm sea during the crossing:

Here's hoping!!

I LOVE YOUR DRESS!!!

Can someone tell me what days we are supposed to be wearing our tiara's? I did not write it down....


My DD got home safely from Russia and we were back at home by 2am......approx 30 minutes ahead of schedule. So now it is time for ......

Glad dd is home safe and sound..enjoy the laundry and the catch up

This isn't my picture but was the best one from the EBTA

We had scenes like that on our NCL med cruise last August...very rough seas near Gibraltar, but wasn't a problem for us luckily.....and dd slept right through it....

[granmaz]

OMG!

Oh, enjoy it. I thought it had cooled down everywhere. Not that I have been looking much this week.

We are in for a wet week on and off I think.

 

[Frodo UK]

I know the two cruises were completely different! Amazing. But it wasn't too bad, I just felt sorry for the entertainers. Luckily, our family has no trouble with mal-de-mer!

Connie, did you see the girl juggling with the sun lounger in the crew show, while the stage heaved from side to side.

Great sense of balance, didn't skip a beat.

 

[Frodo UK]

In my experience when you are not in the US you can not call a toll free (800, 888 or 866) number. There is usually another number to dial when you are outside the US.

I think, from memory, that you can use the 800 number from the UK, with the international prefix, but you are advised when you get through to US that the call is not free and will be subject to your normal charges.

 

[FrauP]

That is the one... I liked a lot...

But still not sure how much money to spend on my formal dress...

(I am also still thinking about my "dirndl"... )

Thats a lovely dress, what colour?
Oh yes, bring your dirndl, that would make for great photo ops.
