Yes, it is sneaking up on us. While I have some preps done, I still have much to do! I am sure it will all fall together. I work best under pressure!

See you all soon.

The only stress I am feeling right now, is that the Stateroom that I plan booking while on-board will sell before I am able to book it. I hope it will not sell in the next 16 days, but it is a gamble I have to take to save half the deposit.

uH Uho...my Kenmore elite stainless dishwasher (5 years old) just went UP IN FLAMES:, electrical fire, with water still running all over it....I ran like a little girl....down the stairs to secure the power...flames went out ...smoke smoke smoke everywhere.....now gotta get a new one. I went on line to to check and apparently their are many of these Kenmore elites torching. I am glad I was home when it went up....from what I have been reading folks have lost homes due to this problem. check you gear for recalls periodically


Now I have to drop 600 on a new one.....snffle, good-by dolphin push.......hello straw market in nassau. maybe not, but all we will see

Wow!! You really have much to be thankful for. If you had started the washer then run the kids to school, you would be in a MUCH worse place. Someone was smiling over your family today.

I am very sorry to hear about the damage and the fright caused to your family.

OHHHH NO! Sooooo glad this didn't happen while you were out the house. Funny how things seem to happen right before you go on vaca. Just makes your cruise even more relaxing

Hello,

We (me, my mom, my 4 year old daughter and my aunt) will be coming aboard. The FL residents rate made it took good a deal to pass up, since we're going to be at the World for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party anyway. We also added a couple of days at Disney's Vero Beach Resort, which I've never visited. Should be fun! This will be our 3rd Disney cruise. We did a 3 night last September and then the 10 night Med cruise this past May. I think we're thoroughly addicted now.

I do have alot to be thankful for, yes, yes I do, Not sure what was worse, the actual event or me a 45 year old man running down the stairs squealling like a little girl when I was going for the breaker panel

OHHHH NO! Sooooo glad this didn't happen while you were out the house. Funny how things seem to happen right before you go on vaca. Just makes your cruise even more relaxing

Yes, that would have been bad, Just one more thing to add to the list before we go, could have done with out it though, that's okay when life gives you lemon dishwashers make really weird secret mickeys out of the good parts

The visual you just gave me, absolutely made my night!

I am so happy everyone is okay.

Two weeks, 14 hours until boarding begins!

Awwwww, at least you are able to laugh about it now. We also are dealing with our usual DH work drama that always seems to happen before vacation. He owns his own business, and it just never fails that some deadline that he has to meet gets moved up right before we leave for vacation. He'll be working 18 hour days for the next week so we can make our vacation happen, no doubt. BUT, we are certainly thankful that he has the work, so no complaints there.

 

[Eeyores#1Fan]

Alex, that really made me laugh!

I feel everyone’s pre-vaca drama though. So my last two weeks has been full of:

- 1 car broken into, radio stolen and now they can't replace the dashboard
- 2 Raccoons in my attic for yet the 3rd time (lots and lots of mulah to have them removed)
- 3 Dog sat for a friend who's puppy had fleas (just a good thing she was contained to my 4 dogs private room!)

So needless to say DH has been on the phone with insurance and critter control daily and I've been fumigating like mad! I HATE bugs!!!!!

DCL...take me away......

Sorry for your PTD, my brother had a pet raccoon when we were growing up...and he was a TROUBLEMAKER, I don't see to many up here in Virginia.

I hope your car gets fixed, crime sucks,

Gina, can you come help us pack

Crystal, Please wish DH good luck wrapping that project up. My wife is doing the work drama this week, the go to guy in her office is moving to a new division so they want her to step up. Problem is she is already sooo overloaded that she is stressing and working a lot of OT right up until the cruise

Promenade at 3pm, looking forward to meeting up.

I have to finish my secret mickey, I cant quite get the dishwashers drain hose to hold the shape of mouse ears. perhaps more glue I made from the burnt seals will do it. someones in for a real treat,


two weeks to the this very minute we will somewhere off a the coast (Port St lucy, Jupiter inlet?) making way through the night sea (which will hopefully be calm, I do not...repeat DO NOT like my personal calculations on what will be Hurricane "IGOR" I show him passing very close on the 22nd, but past us and ashore in florida on the 23rd, if that holds true we will have "cloudy" water. I like the surrealism of hurricane churned waters in the Bahamas they really are something to see, but they we mess up our snorkeling real bad. But maybe it will uncover some lost booty at castaway cay.

Need to order more pirate costumes (worried about them, bordering on the short side, but will make the girls wear scull leggings so they are more appropriate. All I could afford for myself was a eye patch and boots, so I will have to find a pirate buckskin to offset it..

 

[SucalT]

I find myself a little short on the Secret Mickey too. I did not have the fortune of a major appliance blaze to give me unique ideas for gifts. Perhaps something will hit me before too long.

(For any higher powers reading this, that was sarcasm. I am not interested in any disasters, natural or otherwise!)

DD(6) and I will be on Deck 3 at 3:00 PM. Look forward to seeing everyone.

WOW...a Pet Raccoon...yeah so not happening. When we got this house we caught 7, then about a year later 3. This go round they got 2 and 1 got away. Guess it doesn't help we have nothing but trees on one side of our house and all behind our house. We really don't have a backyard. I'd let them stay in the attic as we don't use it if they 1- went to sleep at night vs the day and 2- paid a bill We have a full basement too (half man cave) so we store everything down there.

Timika, thanks so much for keeping track of all of this!

Regarding the DIS meet, is that the first day we board the ship or another day? Also, have we decided on a "reveal" for our Secret Mickeys? Can't wait!!

DIS Meet will be on Thurs. right before the firedrill.

As for the reveal...I was going to leave that up to each individual. Group..do we want to meet to do the reveal? Maybe in between CC and the early dining? Or later that night (Sat night) back in the lounge???

 

[MamaPoppins]

Gina, can you come help us pack

I sure canI luv packing actually...I like to roll everything...fits more

 

[SucalT]

Crystal,

So glad you are still going to come. My DD(6) will love meeting your little girl. There will be plenty of "non-traditional" family units to visit with. Goodness knows mine is "non-traditional" !!

We look forward to seeing you on the 23 rd. Hopefully your daughter can show mine the ropes! This will be Brenna's first cruise.
