Sept 4-8 2005 Wonder S.S. Member Cruise! Part 2

drove around town while the girls napped in the car,

At the price of gas that's one expensive nap. But I hear ya. I did that too when the kids were little. I always hated when they'd fall asleep 10 minutes from home and they considered THAT their nap. Whereas if you could just GET them home and GET them in their bed you'd get a couple of hours from them! Many a trip we were singing at the tops of our lungs trying to annoy them enough so they'd stay awake!

Does anyone have a good version of the cruise logo? Not "our" logo but the Happiest Celebration at Sea artwork? I was thinking of attempting to add it to the front of our awesome group shirts ... has anyone added anything to the front of their shirts? We're wearing these shirts to the sailaway party right?

No - the only version I have shows lots of pixels when you try making it bigger.

Yes we are wearing our DIS DVC DCL shirts on sailing day. We'll wear ours to the port and the 3 pm DIS meet. Depending on what time we get as far as dinner rotation we may change for dinner between the drill and sailaway so we can stay up on deck longer and watch us leave (we have early dinner).

I see it isn't the one on Blond Giraffe but a shop called Kermit's Key Lime shop that sells many many things with Key Lime...from candles to cookies to candy.

Kermit's is where we always go. Yummy stuff there. There is also a Kermit's in Mount Dora in FL if anyone is close to that. Grandma Lightbulb will ship us things from there now and then.

My sister is here for the week and the first thing I showed her were my blinkies and guess where I have to take her tomorrow??

On a cruise????

And you wonder why they are giving Mike the gross tasting Bertie Botts Beans (I'm sure I killed that spelling).

It looks like a cool place with lots to choose from. We may have to check it out.

Gary & the kids went to work on the 1800's farm today. They try to keep it as close to that time period as possible. They left here about 6:10 this morning and didn't return until almost 10. The house was so quiet, I got to sleep in until the dog started wrestling to go out. Sometimes, I just can't win.

Cindy - I never heard of this. Where is it?

Huh? I've been out of the loop....
Isn't main dinner 6:00? Or did I miss something? (I wouldn't be surprised if I did!)

And you wonder why they are giving Mike the gross tasting Bertie Botts Beans (I'm sure I killed that spelling).

Yeah, I warned them NOT to give me any gross ones b/c I can't drive, laugh, and cough and sputter at the same time. I did eat bacon (tasted like bacon bits) and grass (tasted like pulling a stalk of hay and chewing on it) But I drew the line at vomit and booger!

On the Wonder they are trying different dining times for each rotation. Say if you start at Triton's your seating starts at 5:45, then AP starts at 6:00 and Parrot Cay starts at 6:15. It is supposed to help with congestion and lines for before dinner photos etc. I think it is still going on so we may see it on our cruise.

We found it b/c it was part of the walking tour we took back in May of '04. Then we went back there on the 10 day. We *may* make it back this time. Depends on how Grandma Lightbulb is feeling and if she's up for the walk. We're thinking maybe just pirate museum b/c it's close to the dock. No real plans....I do like that. Relax, relax, relax!

I think, (I think, don't quote me on this!) there are 3 main dinner times now for each seating, 5:45, 6 and 6:15 to break up the mad rush for dinner!

Oh, hmm....KT won't like it if ours is 6:15...that means 15 minutes later getting to the kids' clubs! Typically that first night we do the "can they have their meals when we have our appetizers" trick....to get the kids out early.

That's our plan as well. Relax!

Speaking of Grandma - how is she doing? Haven't heard from her lately.

Got an email from her today. She's been exhausted. Tires very easily. She's doing some sort of weekly maintenance chemo. Starting to pack for the trip. She's getting very excited.

Thanks - I'll have to drop her a line. I'm glad she's excited about the cruise!

I know, I actually said that to Chris. We can't do that, gas is too expensive. But, his logic was that it was maybe $3-$6 dollars, or very aggitated children this afternoon. I went with the drive. We actually were driving real slow in all the fancy neighborhoods with mansions on waterfront property. Basically, we were dreaming!!!
