3 days of work this week (counting today). Why didn't I take more time off? I've still got a lot of packing to do yet.

 

[dr&momto2boys]

We are PACKED! A couple things to throw in here or there, but pretty much done! We have 5 suitcases and 1 garment bag. Plus a stroller, a diaperbag, a computer bag, a video player, and a purse/document carrier. I hope we fit into the limo that picks us up at 5am tomorrow!

 

[KayR]

Anyone going to MNSSHP on Friday? We have decided to do that instead of BMG - thought the kids would have a blast (DD was only 5 weeks when she last went). Now to get costumes for the kids!

DH and I are going - no costumes though. DH did have an orange t-shirt that said "This is my Halloween Costume" but I think that's long gone.

I wish we were going to MNSSHP, but just the cruise this year. Oh well, at least I have MVMCP to look forward to in Dec.

That is hilarious. My uncle had that exact same shirt when my cousins and I were little and wore it to every fall festival we had at church. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he still didn't have it.

Anyone who is in Disney now...

How is the weather looking? Are the 40% scattered storms practically everyday just the normal summer showers that blow by?

I am about to order our MNSSHP tix and dont want to drop $120 to walk around in the rain for 4 hours.

Hello Sept 12'thers!!!

If anyone thinks of it onboard, I am trying to find our FAVORITE head-waiter Simone from Italy. Not only is he dreamy to look at, but was so supremely helpful when it came to my daughter's food allergies.

So, if anyone happens to have him as their head-waiter, can you please ask him if he will still be on the Magic the week of Thanksgiving? and drop me a PM if you think of it when you get back.

I've requested him but don't even know if he will be on the ship or not at that time.

Much appreciated and happy sailing!

 

[TiggersPal]

Oh....I see what your talking about now. The one coming off Africa. Man. Fingers, toes and eyes crossed that it heads upwards!


Nicole

Let's TRY and be positive ...

Good morning Totolians...

Here's the current update on Atlantic weather conditions. This system sounds more and more like it will turn into a storm in the next day or two. Let's hope it stays well clear of our path.

You can follow it here. I think they update it every 6-8 hours.

Safe travels everyone.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 200 AM EDT MON SEP 7 2009 FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO... A CONCENTRATED AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CENTERED ABOUT 150 MILES SOUTHEAST OF THE SOUTHERN CAPE VERDE ISLANDS IS ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG TROPICAL WAVE. CONDITIONS APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR THIS SYSTEM TO DEVELOP INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION WITHIN THE NEXT DAY OR SO AS IT MOVES WESTWARD OR WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT NEAR 20 MPH. LOCALLY HEAVY SHOWERS AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS ARE LIKELY OVER THE SOUTHERN CAPE VERDE ISLANDS TODAY. THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE... GREATER THAN 50 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

Again positive thoughts BECOME positive actions.

if you look on weather underground - all of the models show it going northwest - very north - like not even close to US - keeping fingers crossed, but it looks like we will have good weather

ONCE MORE: Positive thoughts...

I can't remember if Monica said where she would be handing out the lanyards in the terminal. I would think she should be pretty easy to find though.

I'm all ready to start packing. I've finished my finals, did pretty well, except for math, which could have been better, but I'm not going to let it get me down. I've just got to get through 4 more days of work and I'll be all ready for a magical vacation. Friday can't get here soon enough.

YES Monica will be handing them out in the terminal and the DIS MEET 3:00 PM _ BE THERE!!!!

Just checking in here too. Spent the day at Concord Mills (shopping center) here in NC.

Did the "Honey-Do" list. Will be getting the last minute things tomm. Then biding my time till 9pm Thurs night when we leave. It can't come quick enough!!

Going to try to get as far as we can. Hopefully we'll get to Savannah, GA. UGH!! so much to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nicole

NICOLE - CONCORD? My brother who willbe on this cruise is about 2 miles from THIS MALL! That's where we were shopping in June for some of our cruise stuff - love the POLO outlet - WHY didn't you say before you were right down the street from him and my sister-in-law - SMALL WORLD!

It's been hot and humid with little rain - I've spoken to the crazy FOURSOME everyday and it's been over cast in the a.m.'s and pretty much PARK friendly weather


YE OF LITTLE FAITH!

 

[TiggersPal]

I had a very productive weekend and I only have two items on my list to do - bank and dog food OH and PACK!!!! Let's all just PLEASE keep positive about the weather ok - cuz you ALL ARE KILLING MY BUZZ!

 

[rotary2808]

I am on pins and needles right now!!!! We might be joining you at MNSSHP after all!!!! My dad was telling my mom last night that now he wishes we had gone down a couple of days early and done MNSSHP and WDW instead of having to get up at 3 am on Saturday to fly down. (Of course when I suggested this to begin with it was a no go, but we'll look past that) We can get a room, we can get MNSSHP tickets, we've got AP's, now we've just got to convince dad that it's worth the extra cost to change our airline tickets, a little costly, but so totally worth it in my opinion.

If it works out, we'll be flying out Thursday night!!!! Wow, I need to start packing.

The weather has been pretty good. Very hot but very little rain, only a bit I the late afternoon. None in the evening.

I just realized the poor dog is going to be sad while I'm gone. She is going to be in her kennel the whole week while Paul and the kids are a work/school

Oh well, she's a dog and I have a cruise to attend

 

[nskjerven]

Ian, if you are still reading this...Ask Cheri if I have permission to leave my Canon big camera at home

I figure with the drinking we will be doing the shots would be too blurry for use anyways. I'll have my little pocket Cannon for crime scene photos, of the choc cake and goose incidents.

Hey I saw some lemon goose the other night and thought of you. we need to find that orange kind. I want a taste of your drink that night.

 

[wispy204]

On the subject of "It's a Small world" here's one for ya.


At the pool this summer, I made a friend named Kellie. She's from Ohio. Turns out that she's married to the nephew of my High School Gym teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I grew up in NY.

So the world is very very small sometimes.
