Traveling Turkeys Part 2 11/22/08

[cruisecrzy]

Hi Michelle,

I appreciate you posting the link, I might use it also. Now, how does it work, you just fill out the form and then you have permission to make reprints. I'm sorry I've never done it before. Thanks!

Teresa

You fill out the form and it generates a "letter" with the information that you can print out. I have had to use it at Walgreens and one other place (cannot remember where) when I made copies, but now when I did it at Winkflash.


One of our friends had two shirts signed and they did honor the request of all the siggies.

Judy, if it is on board and they cannot get it back to you let me know. One of our crew friends gets off Dec. 20 and I can ask her to grab it and bring it.

I also have an idea of someone else we can contact or even something else PM me if you would like those.

I didn't even see him on stage! I was in the spa and decided to finish packing. The girls came in and told me that he was in the show.

We are not home yet but on the way. We spent yesterday at Kennedy Space Center, the kids cried and cried after we left the Magic.

We are HOME

Traffic was really bad and Mr. Funny Guy DH lost his sense of humor before we got out of Florida. It probably didn't help that we were crammed into our tiny car. He was really embarassed in Daytona because we went to Friendly's right across from the speedway where the Turkey Rod Run was happening. He was telling the muscle car people how great their cars were and they looked confused when they saw him driving a Civic.

Thanks again, we had a lot of fun! No more Disney cruises are scheduled (I really tried ). DH says we have to try other places for vacation. Our next cruise is scheduled for spring break 2010. Anyone going on the Oasis?

Thanks for putting together the meet. It was great to put some names and faces together and I loved Sandy's "nametags" We all needed those.

Judy my daughter and her Auntie loved to light up your FE.

Like Chuck we chose to do a few deliveries to work off all those desserts.

I was truly amazed at all the great things that were in there and we ended up with two drawers full. It was so great. Thanks to all who included us in your big packages.....my husband was not happy when we left with as much if not more than we came with. When we were packing he said you must get rid of all these FE things and we better come back with more space in the bags. We cannot wait to listen to the CD.

My DD did not want to leave the ship and we were one of the last off. We dropped our bags off and went to meet a few crew members who were getting to do their Xmas shopping at DD. So for my daughter she felt the trip was extended a half a day and then her cry fest began. Now I have a bunch of packages to take to the post office for them so my house is a mix of laundry we finished today and packages...at least the laundry is done.

Chuck Amy recieved her gift Saturday morning and said thank you. Ohh and if I forget to send you an email about your computer send me one to remind me.....Crystal asked me to relay a message.

Was there someone who needed the shutters shot of the two ships? I thought I remmbered reading it earlier today? PM me if you did.

Well off to do more emails from students

Were they selling them in shutters? We didn't see them.

 

[ICEMANPAD]

Was trying to link my shots from 2005 of the two ships together, but I don't have the right account setup, or I don't know how to do it properly...or both...

Oh and I also brought home a nice sinus infection...hello antibiotics...but at least it waited until Saturday morning to hit me...blasted allergies...

[ICEMANPAD]

One more thing...I'll bet we were much happier with last week's weather than the current trip...they were in Key West today which is not all that far from here...and it has been very windy and pouring, torrentially at times, most of the day...

 

[gentah]

Cindy, your husband was so funny on stage. I'm sorry you had to miss it.
It was great!!!

Is he the one that ate the marshmallow? They stole the show! They were better than the magician.

 

[gentah]

Judy, I dropped off pillowcases and had them delivered to our room Friday night. The only problem was that we asked for all the characters and they were only signed by the Princesses. DS is less than thrilled, ha ha.

We left 2 pillowcases and they were delivered on Friday evening. They were both signed the same--it was Mickey, Minnie and the gang. DD would have liked to have the princesses, but is happy with what we got.

Yep, that was him.

 

[cruisecrzy]

Yes they were with the stock photos near the main check out point. It has both ships with the flying dutchman in between.


Chuck load them to a thing like photobucket. Then copy the image link and paste it into your post. does that help??

 

[Suzy Mouse]

We saw a ton of cast members trying to get their "Bonus" picture. Rumor had it they get paid for a good shot. I have a ton of them but I was curious to see how theirs came out.

I didn't know they had the photo of the three ships together until we were getting off of the Magic (early for our 11am flight.) When I went to Shutters to get my very own copy, they had sold out of them! I decided to wait for the reprints. They were practically running them back from the printer twenty minutes later. It's a beautiful shot, and I'm glad I waited. I'll be scanning my pictures and posting them to my flickr album tomorrow. I'm at 11 posts now, so I can link to them!!

Good evening! Is anyone else as tired as I am tonight? I got up early this morning and did eight loads of laundry, got groceries, took DD to volleyball practice, got the Christmas tree put up, and went to my sister's for a great turkey dinner. They said they really didn't feel too bad for us (since we missed the family dinner), but they were kind enough to cook all over again.

I really enjoyed getting to visit with so many of you on the ship. Judy, we rebooked for the 5 night for 2010 also, but we'll probably have to change it due to my son's baseball. If so, we may rebook for the Thanksgiving cruise for 2010. However, I have to admit that we're tossing around the idea of the Oasis as well. We're booked on the Wonder for next Thanksgiving, so that will give me my Disney fix for 2009. LOL! My DH is also wanting to try other places and other things, so I'm not so sure how long I will get to keep going with the Disney theme for our family vacations.

I'm glad some of you are enjoying the cd. I had a lot of fun making the gifts for the FE's. It was so neat to receive things, and several people stopped as I was either going in to my room or leaving to ask about our fish extender. It was a ton of fun!

It's definitely back to reality for me tomorrow, so I had better get to bed. Again, I really enjoyed getting to meet so many of you in person. It was so much fun to feel like I knew so many people and to get to visit with many of you from time to time. Michelle, it was me that was wanting the release for shutters, so thank you! I went to Wal-Mart today and printed all of our vacation pictures. We enjoyed looking at all of them tonight and reliving the Magic!

Have a great evening and a good week! I met some of the Nanaheads at the rental car place, and I sure hope they end up with weather similar to ours. I've never had such smooth sailing on any of the cruises I've done, so that was very magical in itself. We were very lucky!

Michelle -
Thanks so much for the offer. I never got a chance to call DCL today but I will tomorrow. Hopefully they have them!
Lexington is home and I couldn't be happier. He's been hangin' with me all night. What a guy. Nothing like a Golden retriever to make you feel loved!
Tim realized tonight that he lost his camera. We have looked everywhere and it may be at the restaurant we ate at last night. It has the card still init so there go all of his pics if we can't find it. We lost a lot of things this trip, eh?

 

[rlcook]

Oh, Judy,

I'm so sorry that Tim lost his camera. Hey we live close enough to each other that maybe we could get together. I can always make a copy of my disk. Even though it wouldn't have pics of you guys in it.

Let me tell you a little story, and it may make you feel better. We took Mackenzie to FL when she was 4. My parents also went with us. My mom has Alzheimers and we knew that it would be the last vacation with her. We spent a day at the beach on the gulf side, a day at the FL aquarium in Tampa, 2 days at Sea World and a day at AK and finished the week at MK. Just before the 3:00 parade, I was checking my camera to see how much memory I had left. (Had just gotten our camera about a month before) It asked if I wanted to reformat and I chose yes and DELETED the whole vacation. The only pics I had were the ones we bought that the places took.


WELL, we lost Melinda's suitcase. We don't know if it is at the terminal or at Union Station. Making phone calls this am about that. ALSO, Bob has lost a lot of vision in both eyes over the week and never mentioned it. I will be on the phone in just a few minutes to get him into a retinologist. He had this happen over Thanksgiving in 1997, and had to have surgery on both eyes.


Have a good day everyone.

Well, its trully back to reality . . . .

I am sitting at my desk eating a Lean Cuisine when at this exact moment last week I was at Palos. Its just not the same . . .

I must thank EVERYBODY for such a great trip. This is the first time we did the FE and I must say it put the silver lining on the proverbial cloud. Kiah could not wait to get back to the stateroom every night to see what we got, I could not wait to see the expression on her face. There were so many well thought out and great things left . . . . Thanks again.

I got a chance to meet and get to know some people I would normally not have gotten the chance to due to the Dis-Boards. I hope that we all can keep in touch. Judy, who knows, maybe we can go to a Superbowl party together and watch the Bucs beat the Steelers??

I did find one extra souvineer on my way home Saturday. A massive head cold. Cant say this to the boss, but I'd rather be sick this week at work than last week!

 

[HerrQSmee]

Reality starting to set in... Yesterday was spent doing laundry, putting things away and catching up on our sleep. Dh and I came home with major congestion- not sure if it is a cold or allergies- results the same.
Can't stop thinking about last week- what a great trip! Thank you all for the great FE gifts. My girls loved returning to the room to find all the new goodies! They also had a great time delivering them to all your rooms.
It has been so great sharing this trip with all of you!

What is the Oasis I keep hearing about? Something I need to look into?

RC's newest ship due next year. There are mixed feelings about it, some say it is too big. DH won't go on another Disney cruise (he will only do things one time) so this is something different for us until the new Disney ships are ready.

 

[rlcook]

Hi,

Did anyone get any good photos of the characters on the stairs at the fairwell party? I got a couple, but they're not the greatest.
