[TotallyAngelic]

Oh I love it! Shes one step closer to us now so to speak lol! 7 weeks now it will almost be 1pm and I assume we will be onboard eating lunch!

OMG !!!! I just almost burst out crying reading that comment after seeing those photos. What is the matter with me .... soooooo emotional !!!

 

[TotallyAngelic]

I bought a note pad to day, gonna start making a list, you are making me scared Sarah
I thought you were joking about a spread sheet for clothes ,you are nuts in a nice/my way


I am going to internally combust I am so excited seeing they photos, thanks

Isn't it desperately sad that I actually am doing a spreadsheet
it's mainly to make me realise that I have got enough clothes and can stop buying dresses on Ebay ... bought another 2 yesterday

and I feel very too !!!!

No, it is not sad. I've had my clothing spreadsheet completed for some time now. It helped me to be able to mix and match which then allows me to bring less clothes. I always want to bring things that can be worn more than once. The spreadsheet lets you see that right away. I've deleted about one third of the clothes I was thinking about bringing.

Not at all. I make spreadsheets as well. The main one I use is a calendar type one I set up that has all our information for the trip, day by day, starting and ending with all the flight information. It has all flight and hotel info with confirmation numbers and phone numbers if I should need them. It goes in the travel folder in my backpack and is easily accessable if needed, and I have needed it in the past.

Sorry to make you cry (almost) I've posted on their thread and added more too......have loads on photobucket....

Great idea ... I will add the flight / hotel details and phone numbers etc to it too !!

 

[Steffy]

woooooooo hooooooooo ...it's Saturday !!!!!!!!

and we all know what that means ....



ONLY 7 WEEKS UNTIL WE BOARD THE DISNEY MAGIC

Woo Hoo!!!

Exactly ... now I don't feel so sad.

Aaaw, I almost cried at your almost crying!!!

Don't worry Sarah! Its been a long time coming so trust me you aren't the only one feeling emotional!

I dread to think what we will all be like when we are all there in the terminal. My "cry" moments will be

1. seeing everyone for the first time
2. actually stepping over the threshold onto the ship
3. and "When you wish upon a star" ( considering I cry hysterically if I watch this on YouTube )

I will probably walk around all afternoon on the first day with glazed eyes, a vacant expression, unable to say anything other than " I can't believe I'm actually here" ( I expect the cast members will be checking they still have a straight-jacket on board !!)

Noel and Angie, I am the same, low BP, the doc always re-tests because a chubby chick like me shouldn't have low BP in her eyes. I also have low blood sugar and low iron, and good cholesterol level, she never believe my test results.
Pj

Im in the same boat... Run low BP and for some reason people are shocked by that...

I am sorry - I feel like I have overstepped things - I just saw people asking about stats and things and did not realize how easy Sue and her hubby had them to get at. I used the website to make my list for wristbands so I could put them in ABC order by DIS name so I could find people more easily - and just added the other fields out there too to capture info.

The bracelets will be done this weekend and I will take down my spreadsheet as I had no intention of confusing people with other places to put information in. I did not mean any harm - again sorry.

I will finish up contacting on the bracelets through PM's and get answers back directly.

again I am really sorry.
Krisann

No need to apologize!! No worries!! Be happy!! I can not imagine anyone is upset with you!!

ABSOLUTELY no need to appologise!! We are all just so excited about everything!!!

CRUISE SHIRT UPDATE

Okay this is what I have left over ....

"Drinks" shirt Captain Jack on back with rum bottle

Okay this is how it will work ....This is First come First serve .... PM me what you want from the list above , I will then send you back a PM with total and PayPal information ...then please take care of Pay Pal as soon as you get .... If I dont reply to you , that means one or all the shirts your requesting has been sold ......Fear not...once these are gone and we have enough to make a second run , I will do that ......


*** If you are international we will have to figure something out on the shipping***

I have Very Very limited room in my bags ...


We should probably clear these out fast .......If so we will start a new ordering on Sunday Night and take orders till the following Saturday night ...

Hope everybody understands ... Good Luck ...PMs are time stamped , so they will be dealt with in the order they come in ....


TAKE WHAT YOU CAN !!!!!!

If there are not too many more going over seas, I can take them. Todd - if you want to hold my box a bit longer just to see what pans out, that works on this end!

I get more of the nausea then dizzy, I have had spots in front of my eyes at times.
Pj

Pj - are we twins? I get nausea as well - and once that hits there is the getting dizzy and spots. I was at football jamboree a couple years back and was running around like crazy and paired my low BP with lack of eating and fluids... Not a good day at all!

Does anyone know the correct address to send photos for the web site?

Photos@transatlanticpirates.com

We are working on adding stuff to the website this weekend and will add any photos we get! Bring 'em on!!

Sue - I basically need:

Dis name, Stateroom numbers, Names of those travelling and the age of any children if possible, If they are travelling with anyone

I was also going to add which Fish Extender exchange groups they were in and candy exchange groups but I can always leave this off.

Yes - we can get you all of this!!! I am guessing that you will want in excel so you can manipulate

Don't worry Krisann I think it was me that did that not you!

STOP!!! I'd like to think that it was a misunderstanding, as not many people would build a database for their cruise website! What can I say, we both work for software companies, and Glenn is a bit geeky at times. He wanted to do a lot more - but never got direction. Now he has some... Watchout!!!

Oh I still have some to do too:

1. Call wdw to arrange Magical Express for retrun to airport
2. download music onto Ipod touch
3. get euros and dollars
4. inform CC companies of travel dates.
5. trial packing and weigh baggage
6. spreadsheet for outfits
7. get insurance
8. order Dan's suite

Im sure theres other stuff too! ARG!!!!

Oh does anyone know whether there's anyway to get a Disney World reservation back from Dreams Unlimited? I ask because my TA seems to be ignoring me! I've emailed about 3 times now asking for info on whether Magical Express is booked correctly and have had no information back. The only thing I got was an initial email that says that we are being picked up and sent to Pop Century on the 8th October which is the wrong way!

Shoot - your list looks like mine... And I find that I have days that I stare at it and get nothing done...

For the DU stuff - post on the main board - their owner watches it and will make sure that you are taken care of. Who are you dealing with there? I had been working with Tracey, who was fine, but didn't get back to me same day. Then when we did our upgrade it was Kelsie that I was working with. She is awesome - and I swear she must not sleep much if you look at the times she emails...

I tried to post it but she said she couldn't see the post-it note I stuck on my computer. Bring back the age of the typewriter.

Jon

That is just too funny!!!

WOW Fantastic photos Mandy ... you got really close!! How did you not smuggle yourself on board That would have been like torture !!!

Look at all those people on their balconies .... you should post these on their meet thread so that they can spot themselves

I second that - it would have been hard to be so close nad not be ON the ship!

There used to be that "DCL Is this YOU?" thread where people would post pictures they took that had others in them...

I bought a note pad to day, gonna start making a list, you are making me scared Sarah

and I feel very too !!!!

OK, Sarah - Im going to side with you here... Not about EBay though... I have packing lists in excel for everyone. 4 tabs - one for each, and then a list of anything other than clothes that goes in a bag on tab 5. I put what I think we are bringing in it prior to packing, and then add subtract items as needed. Then I print the pages and use them to re pack at the end of the trip so I don't leave stuff behind. Learned the hard way last year - accidentally left stuff in the cabin or at the last breakfast and we never got it back, as it was never found...

As of now, I have Beccas stuff 95% packed and the list is updated. I have what I think I am bringing, and have packed about 50%. Glenn and Stephen are not started - but only because I lef thtem tell me what they are bringing for the most part... For the extra stuff, I have all my swap stuff packed completely so I can finish it up when we get to the ship. (Candy included!) And anything that I don't need in the next 44 days is in a bag!

LOL! Honestly I'm never booking a cruise 2 years in advance again as I think I'm gonna be the same! I have "when you wish" as my alarm in the morning and get way too excited! Dan is ready to throw my phone out the window for it lol

 

[gismo1554]

Yes - we can get you all of this!!! I am guessing that you will want in excel so you can manipulate

Brilliant thanks Sue! I'm gonna pull the full version of the navigator together around the 18th of Aug so if I could get that around then it would be great.

Updates after that can then be done via PM cause I think from then on most people will have room numbers. I heard the med people were getting cruise documents at a month out so I think we will all have rooms by then!

STOP!!! I'd like to think that it was a misunderstanding, as not many people would build a database for their cruise website! What can I say, we both work for software companies, and Glenn is a bit geeky at times. He wanted to do a lot more - but never got direction. Now he has some... Watchout!!!

LOL thanks Sue! Im just impressed that you can get it into Excel for me!

Shoot - your list looks like mine... And I find that I have days that I stare at it and get nothing done...

Oh yes! I even started looking at insurance this week and still haven't sorted it! Its silly really! I need to stop procrastinating and just book it already!

For the DU stuff - post on the main board - their owner watches it and will make sure that you are taken care of. Who are you dealing with there? I had been working with Tracey, who was fine, but didn't get back to me same day. Then when we did our upgrade it was Kelsie that I was working with. She is awesome - and I swear she must not sleep much if you look at the times she emails...

Kathy seems to be the one dealing with me. Didn't think of posting over there! Will do that now!

 

[Candy Apple]
