Please don't worry folks, I have total FAITH in this angel... she's never let me down.

P.S. but not a frown face a Vicki just sent me a dog in FARMTOWN!!!! Ok, I know I was resistant because I'm already addicted to Farmville on FB - but they have DOGS in Farmtown and she knew I wanted one - I got one today! It's my first day and I only have 3 trees and about 4 spots of plowed land - but I HAVE DOG! Vicki you made my day - see - now wasn't THAT easy?

lg3, have you ever tried the creamy tequila in Mexico called Tequipal? They have 4 different flavors. I can't wait to get back there to stock up!!

Anything new with the cruise or here since I left?

No!!! I haven't tried that - I must asap. Sounds fantastic.

Now did I say I wasn't going sign-up for the tequila tasting? Just try and stop me! I tried on the Panama Canal cruise but it was all booked up.

I think the tequila tastings are (almost) up there with nabbing Palo ressies. It is the first thing I do when boarding, always outstanding. I think I saw it on Sunday afternoon from the most recent Tortola navigators. Let's try to get a DIS table together for it.

For anyone who is wondering (and I know it's alot of you...)

Mom and I have set a cut off date for when we can safely book the cruise...

It is Sept 4th so it still gives me time.

Michelle, I hope you join us.

FE list was sent out. I had problems sending to one person and have sent you a PM. If anyone else didn't get it let me know.

 

[woody73]

. . . JUST GET BACK ON BOARD ON TIME!!
(I have seen people racing across the port as the ship (not DCL) pulls out.
They had to charter space on the pilot tug and climb the jacobs ladder.
Pretty interesting for the rest of us.)

We saw this happen on the Magic at St. Thomas.

The all aboard time came and went. The ship started to leave, then some people ran up to the dock, waving frantically.

They hired a water taxi to bring them to the Magic. The ship stopped, and the crew lowered a rope ladder.

It was quite entertaining.

Was finishing up my tags for the FEs we're giving out (gotcha covered kimlovesdisney!) and the sample didn't quiteturn out like I expected. Gotta tweak it a little and maybe change some things. How are you all doing on your FEs?

Lordy! Lordy! What have I gotten myself into? Guess I never thought about gift tags. Do all of you do that? What do you put on them? Just your name? Is there a Disney site where I can find them to print? Do you wrap the gifts also? HELP!!!

Joanie

 

[sssteele]

And only 3 points for a cup (that's an 8 ounce serving, or 236.6 ml for our metric friends). Now that is totally worth it!

What happens if I get my Dole Whip at the Poly and take it to the pool bar and have them add a shot of rum for my poolside sipping pleasure?

Joanie

No need to feel overwhelmed. The only reason I'm doing tags is because my cabin gifts that I'm giving out is something that you can take with you and as they are the same I thought that I would attach tags that you could write your name and room # on it so that if you left it behind it could be returned to you. So don't sweat making tags, not necessary unless you want to. And I'm not wrapping my cabin gifts, those I'll just put in their FE. I may put the kids' gifts in a simple treat bag, just so I can get it together at home beforehand and not take up cruise time separating them for delivery. Just do what makes sense for you. From what I have read, everybodydoes it a little different. You can't be wrong, so relax and have fun with it.

Peggy,
It makes my day to make your day. I just saw the dog and he was so cute-it's what I would have wanted. I'm glad it cheered you up after the past few days. I'll guess FT will be my next addiction!!!!!! Vicki

Like Linda said, no need for tags, unless it's something that will help you distribute the gifts, or if you want to say who it's from, or something about the gift itself. Ours will probably just have a stateroom noted on it somewhere for distribution purposes.

Michelle, hope you are and Barb are able to join us!

Has anyone received their cruise docs yet? My DH and I just moved from Central Florida to MAINE and everything's been turned upside down for the past few months. I called DCL a week or so ago to make sure they were sending my cruise docs to my new address (I changed my info online over a month ago) and they still had my Florida address as the primary address. They told me that I should be receiving my docs any day, and I still haven't seen them Just wondering in anyone else has gotten theirs?

 

[iankh]

What happens if I get my Dole Whip at the Poly and take it to the pool bar and have them add a shot of rum for my poolside sipping pleasure?

Joanie

Add another 2 points for the shot of rum, total 5 points. Sounds totally worth it to me!

No documents received here yet. I think just the overseas people have received theirs. I would expect that we will start seeing docs here domestically either late this week or early next week.

 

[TweetyB]

I have a correction to the FE list....

for TweetyB, we are in room #8008, not the #8088 listed on the spreadsheet.

Thanks!!!
