Wow...we ordered new luggage today......This past weekend DW told me since we are only going to check 2 pieces of luggage to Spain we should consider buying new lightweight luggage. OK....I agree....so last night we go to Kohls and they have nice 29" lightweight Samsonite on salefor $239.00...normally $399....so we decide to think about it....so today I go on the Kohls website and the same luggage is on sale for $180.00....and in 3 colors--not the 1 color they had in the store. So....I get free shipping cause it is over $75.00....and we get an additional 15% off since DW has a coupon....so the $399.00 luggage costs me $153 each....yes....I bought 2.....one in blue for me and one in dark pink for DW...so with tax it came to $332.00 for both....but wait.....there is more....we got Kohls cash....for every $50.00 you spend you get a coupon for $10.00 for a future purchase....so we got $60.00 in Kohls cash.....so basically I got $800.00 of luggage for $270.00....may bring some of the money I saved and might just spend it on the ship....so if you need luggage...check out Kohls.com......I think we got an awesome deal!

Nice! Maybe that will be some laundry money.

Once disappointment from the med cruise was being told we were not entitled to the $100 per person shipboard credit we had been given for booking early was not valid as we had amended our booking. This amendment was to accept the upgrade to cat 3 that we were offered that was not available when we made the original booking (we had requested cat 3 at this time). So we booked nearly two years in advance, then paid more for a cat 3 but lost the thank you for having our money all that time! I have just sent a mail to DCL asking for their comments. Exactly the same applies to this cruise. Don't suppose i will get anywhere, but worth a try....

Lorraine

That does not seem right.

Surgery went well, they are keeping me overnight for observation. Thanks for all the well wishes.

Glad to hear it went well!!!

Darn, wish I knew last night when we were there. But then again, we had limited time and were on a back to school mission. I'll have to swing by again tonight. In the past when they had Crocs though, I didn't care for the selection.

That was my problem too, but it never hurts to check again.

I can't believe how quickly this cruise is now creeping up on us. When I booked this in October 2008, I though this would never arrive. I also thought that I was fairly organized this time round, but there is still so much to do. Hopefully I will have the components that I had custom-made for one of the Fish Extender gifts by next week. Then I can make the last gift. This is not too heavy, so if they don't get here in time, I will just pack this in my carry on. There is one Fish Extender gift that I have to make some more of and the materials for that have no arrived. So hopefully I will get those done tomorrow morning. On the weekend I will then package the gifts and label them so that I can ship them next week. I also need to ring DVC Member Services to arrange Magical Express back to the airport and to add the dining plan to our booking.

I had confirmation that both my luggage scales and my Passporter have shipped. They are both coming from the UK so with a bit of luck, they will be here tomorrow.

We finally got the voucher through for the spa day that we won. I started to get quite worried that we would not be able to fit this in before the cruise. We were lucky to manage to get this booked for Sunday. We are both going to get a massage andscalp massage as well as the use of all their facilities. As the spa is at the other end of town, I decided to book an additional treatment for myself that I will pay for. I might as well make this worth my while. I will have the Ginger and Lime Salt Glow. I love this treatment and I will get this at a fraction of a cost than what the same treatment would cost on the Magic.

By the weekend, I will definitely need a spa treatment or two. I am having a very stressful week at work. I am doing performance reviews with my team for the next two days and then I will have my own performance review with my manager on Friday. I will be glad when the weekend arrives.

Corinna

Enjoy! You certainly deserve a good spa day.

So glad to hear that! Now rest and recuperate .

Hi everyone

so in terms of meals looking at Navigator V 1 there are a number of themed nights

20th Gibraltar Theme – Prince & Princess Menu

24th At Sea Theme – Villains

26th At Sea Theme – Pirates of the Caribbean

27th Mon At Sea - Master Chef

28th St. Maarten - Tastes of the Caribbean

29th Tortola - Around the World Semi Formal – Captains Gala

what are these what do they entail whats the food, I know that the pirates of the caribbean people can and do dress up .. on the 28th is the mickey mouse club house t shirts (which i guess is unofficial and purely DIS)

so whats the deal with the different theme meals whats so special about the night that is villians or prince and princess menu - will there be characters out that fit the theme?

Thanks
Jason

I want to know if anyone is dressing up on prince and princess theme night or villain night.

 

[MrsMork]

I want to know if anyone is dressing up on prince and princess theme night or villain night.

I believe Princess and Pirate is on Gibralter night. That is a formal night. I will be wearing a formal dress and Dennis will be in a tux. Some folks are wearing black and purple for villain night and a few may be dressing as their favorite villain.

Hmmmmm maybe I can wear a crown with my gown? and become a princess

Hi, neighbor! I'm really sure it's going to be just fine on our end of the Magic! The luggage deal is outstanding!!!

Surgery went well, they are keeping me overnight for observation. Thanks for all the well wishes.

Excellent!!! I hope you get some sleep tonight. Indeed make sure you follow the doctor's orders! We need you in tip top shape in 3 weeks!

Lorraine

Are you KIDDING me? Sorry for you, and thanks for the heads up. I had upgraded to a Cat 9 from 10 in May 2009. Lovely.

I want to know if anyone is dressing up on prince and princess theme night or villain night.

Absolutely! I really enjoy getting all dolled up. There aren't many opportunities to do it, so I'll be dressed up on both formal nights. I also will have a villain costume.

....Hmmmmm maybe I can wear a crown with my gown? and become a princess

Please do! Many of us women will be wearing tiaras, and we hope to get a group photo!

I'll be a villian!

And I'm bringing my tiara (actually 2, in case one breaks - they're not too sturdy, I bought them at Target)

 

[su_kraft]

Well we have just returned from school and Danny managed to pass all of his GCSEs .... 2 x A grades, 3 x B grades, 3 x C grades and 1 x D grade ( Maths ... not his strong point ). Still waiting on Art and Design result.
So we are all really proud of him as he will now be accepted at college to study Media Production.

Also just heard he got an A for Art and Design

Well done Danny!

I have just sorted our FE gifts, and I think I almost need a suitcase just for them. Goodness me!

I have a suitcase full of FE gifts and candy... Wonder what they will say when they scan the bag...

Does anybody now if there only will be a paintclass whit Ducky or also a free one i where he's talking about his job?

Connie

There ae supposed to be oppertunities to book short session with him ($$), and there are also going to be "seminars" (free).

Does anybody have the dvd from Disneycruiseline 2010? And can copy it for my? I like to have a dvd but can't get one because i'm living in europa.

I sent mine to Hayley, but am more than willing to order one for you. Just not sure that we would get it in time to bring... Maybe Hayley can make you a copy?

I have been thinking about whether to do laundry or send it out and after doing a lot of reading about the trials and tribulations of the laundry room, I am going to also put aside money for laundry. I originally had decided to have my one gown dry cleaned so it would be freshly pressed and one other dress that I needed cleaned as well. To come back to the room and having the item hanging in my closet will be my treat to myself.

They should just offer "wash & Fold by the pound" like the laundry mats do... I'd be all in for that!

A while back on the the main board there was a woman that asked if she could offer to pay her stateroom hostess to do her wash... I have to wonder how she did with that...

Surgery went well, they are keeping me overnight for observation. Thanks for all the well wishes.

Glad that all went well. Rest up, follow Dr's orders and we will see you in 3 weeks!!

I want to know if anyone is dressing up on prince and princess theme night or villain night.

Glenn and Stephen are doing tuxedos, I have a gown and tiara as does Rebecca.

I don't have any purple, but have a red and black for villain night.

We all have pirate outfits as well...

 

[LittleDisneyLovers]

Oops! Didn't notice - but then it was about 5 a.m. and I was getting ready to go to the airport, so I claim temporary insanity!

Well, your photo matches your claim of insanity

I have just sorted our FE gifts, and I think I almost need a suitcase just for them. Goodness me!

Maz, I have 1 full large suitcase or FE's, Choc swap and gifts, as well as Bella's cabin bag which is full of her sweet bags, and some other stuff spilling into the other suitcases. At least I have spare luggage space once it's all gone!

Thanks for offering to check on the Uggs for me, very nice of you, but I think I've explored everywhere, including the main Ugg website, and they don't make the sandals I love any more. They may bring something like them back next season according to the guy at the UGG store in Union Square. They are just slip-ons, no between the toes strap, suede with the lambs fur in the suede. Maybe they were considered slippers but I don't think so 'cause your toes aren't covered. Anyway, I live in them. I wear a 4.5 so it's hard to find shoes that fit well (small feet big a--, not funny mother nature). val

I will look at our Ugg Outlet store next time I'm there, if I see anything that looks like your description I'll take a photo and send it to you to check. My mum is a size 5 and has a hard time getting shoes, the one good thing is the gets them on sale quite often.
And...Mother Nature sucks!!!!

Little britain

"the computer says no"

Love those guys, they crack me up!

Well, it's been over a month and one installment of the cruise meet that I've missed since we've moved to San Miguel. A bit stressful at times but now we have most of our household goods and we can start putting the house together. We just got back from a weekend at the opera in Santa Fe, NM and it's back to reality now.

Sounds like your getting organised
See you in a few weeks!

GO GO GO it's one of the best places i have ever been, Disney is amazing, the city is wonderful, the people are fantastic, i just love it.

Of all the places i've been it's Tokyo I dream of returning to.

SW

It's on the bucket list, maybe I should learn a little bit of Japanese now....
We haven't been to Hong Kong either, Just CA, FL and Paris. I heard a rumour a while ago that Disney were considering Australia for a park in the future, I really hope so!

I have the sling back ballerina types and love them to bits! Not slippy at all..more mountain goat on rocky beaches. But not sure re the normal crocs, prob a bit too much for my small average feet

I have them, in red! Love them

Surgery went well, they are keeping me overnight for observation. Thanks for all the well wishes.

Fantastic news, One step closer to a happy and healthy cruise for you!

Have heard from DCL today on the tastings. They are coordinating the times and dates and are working out a Mojito seminar. In addition, while they can't do the drink if the day, they suggested the mixology class. I stressed that we were really interested in the Mojitos, and that we would also be interested in the mixology class. (Hope that is OK!) I will post the old DOD list - please PM me if you are NOT interested in the Mixology seminar. If I don't hear from you I will sign you up. Cost is $15.

So, we are now waiting on the beverage manager to slot us. Once that is done, I will have dates and times. I will need to divide the larger groups and will work on conflict resolution as well.

Thats it for now!

I will have a gown for the first formal night and a tiara. I will have a purple and black gown for the villain night. Would love to have a group photo.

:

That is so nice of you to offer. I usually can only find size 5 and few of them. Does your mom have a hard time getting socks to fit? The girls sizes aren't really big enough, especially after you wash them and the ladies, even the smallest, the heel is up around my ankle. Darn Mother Nature - I use to ask my mom why she didn't bind my thighs instead of my feet when I was baby? val

But dont forget you will be getting FE Gifts and more candy from the others.......I sometimes end up with more than I brought!!

Looking forward to getting back into the swing of things here on the boards and can't wait until we head out in just a few more weeks!

Welcome back!! Sounds like things are beginning to settle down for you - just in time to gear up for the cruise!!!!!

Surgery went well, they are keeping me overnight for observation. Thanks for all the well wishes.

Great news - now like everyone else said, get plenty of rest and follow doctors orders so you are ready for this cruise.

Wow, talk about last minute stress!! I got your PM on this and will respond there. thanks again for all the work!!!
