The Bahamian Rum Runners! May 18, 2012 - 5 Nights on the Magic!

[cruisinwithmaandpa]

Same here, looking forward to spending the day with our family.

hope everyone had a nice easter!!

 

[trinaweena]

Should we rename ourselves the Banana Bunch? Haha!

Hope everyone is doing well, this should be a slightly calmer week than usual for me so i'm hoping to get my FE gifts all done. I might end up using a tote bag or something as my extender, if everyone would be fine with this?

Hmmm... The Bahamian Banana Bunch...The Bunch of Bahamian Bananas...the Banana Bahamian Bunch It does have a certain ring to it.

But my FE's for the Bahamian Rum Runners are all done. Too late to change now!

On the other hand, maybe the banana can be our totem, icon, symbol... It's more kid friendly than an empty rum bottle!

********

FE: Tote bag is fine with me. I've seen it done before. Add a little personality to it with some decorations and it works!

My two adult children will probably do a (small) tote bag FE.

********

Right now I feeling a bit overwhelmed. I'm off to Europe tomorrow and still have a ton of things to do before then....

I am happy to announce that I received Mickey Mail today!!
Your luggage tags should be on the way, usually it takes forever to get our mail here in the great white North.

I doubt anyone is going to care - go for it!

Did you book directly or go through a TA? We haven't gotten ours yet - but we also booked through a TA so they would go to her first and then us... right?

Normally, unless you've made other arrangements, if you book through a TA you luggage tags, etc, will go to them for delivery to you.

Fortunately, we've plenty of time for them to reach you.

Hi Jen,
I booked directly through Disney... I think they send the international ones ahead of time in case there are issues.
Keep your eyes open, it should be there any day now!
So excited, getting ready now to get the fish extender gifts all set! And just waiting for our fish extender to be finished!!
Off to study for an exam, have a great day everyone!

Me too!!! Had a really crappy day today and I could have really used the lift those documents would have given me.

We booked through DU and my agent actually lives not to far from me so hopefully once she gets them she can send them my way and they get here FAST.

I can't believe that just ONE MONTH from this coming Sunday (the 15th) we start driving towards Florida. We always take it slow and make the road trip part of our vacation. We even stop at the same hotels along the way and have been for years. We average driving about 8 hours a day. First stop Baton Rouge, second stop Tallahassee and then Cape Canaveral! I LOVE a good road trip.

I am trying to decide if we want to push it a bit and try to get into Cape Canaveral in time to have an early dinner at Grills or Fish Lips and watch the Dream leave port on Thursday. Our first cruise 6 years ago we did this. And just as the Wonder passed by they sounded the ships horn. Totally not expecting it.. about jumped out of my skin - then.. sappy me.. I started crying! It was awesome!

 

[jc10282000]

prozac... are you the one who posted all the clip art and journal pages? do you mind if i use some of it for my fe gifts?

 

[MrsPotatoHead425]

Jen - that's hilarious.. only because I know I would have been crying too!! LOL

Carl - I don't know who posted some of that clipart, but some of it I posted on there, and I don't care what you do with it! (although at least two of them I've used on something for part of my FE gifts hehe)

 

[jc10282000]

cool, thanks! Still no tags today

THANK YOU because I watch the horn videos on YouTube, or the "clap and announce family name" videos and BAWL! I hope I don't do this in front of all of the crew or all yinz! If you want a real cry-fest try this one: http://youtu.be/OPZaRXxjQik

Yah I've been collecting for a while so I put a lot of that stuff on there! Enjoy, I stole all of them from the DISign board anyway!

So I have a question, if any of you can help me. As I've mentioned before, me+the hubs are on reservation 1, linked to mom/dad/sis/grandma-in-law on reservation 2. Stacey (sis-in-law) lives here in Myrtle too and is driving down with us. All others from PA and are flying down morning of. I put all 4 of them on reservation 2 under my mom-in-law's account for charging purposes.

So I printed out the online check-in signature form for spending purposes and to acknowledge the wave phone charge, yada yada. Since Stacey will be with us and getting to the port earlier, should I have 2 copies of that form signed by all 4 of them (1 for Stacey and 1 for the other 3?) I assume charging privileges could get changed at guest services after boarding, right? I really wasn't thinking when I did this, now I can't change it (at least online). If no one knows the answer no biggie, I'll call DCL. Thanks friends!

I watched the youtube video with the battling horns and was crying!

 

[DVC Jen]

Prozac - that was an incredibly sweet video. Thanks for sharing it.

I am also sooo glad I am not the only sap. My family laughs at me because I cry when we drive under the WDW sign and I cry when we leave. At least this time I know I won't be crying alone.

im sure you can change it at guest services but im looking at the online check-in and it says you cazn change it up to 2 days before we sail

I got MOST of my Fish Extender supplies. I am having such a HARD time picking things out for the young adults/teens. I have one (Taylor is 19) but she's pretty happy with anything Disney so I'm struggling. I think she would like the things I got for the pre-teen girls, but she isn't most kids.

ARG!

 

[cruisinwithmaandpa]

I had the same problem. There is not one girl in our family, so I don't have a clue what they like. I did finally come up with something for the girls though.
