Wild Turkeys and Dancing Banana Heads Cruise 11/25/06

[woogal]

Oh boy! This morning Guido cost me ... let's see ... about 31 DCL cocktails! Honestly, I would love to leave the vet someday under $200 !!! Can you imagine if something was really wrong with him?! He was having some itchy ear problems (no big deal, just needed new ear drops), and at 15-1/2, he's having a few senility issues, so new med for that to see if it helps at all. Plus he doesn't hear much anymore and his cataracts are really bad. Hey, but other than that, he's doing great! Oh well, wouldn't buy him for $1, wouldn't sell him for $1,000,000!!!

Jan, we saw Spamalot a couple of weeks ago ... it is HILARIOUS!!!

GO BUCKEYES!

Good morning all, Had a lazy morning. The kids just got home. DH is a bit depressed that our Tigers lost The Halloween party last night was a blast! It is always fun to see what people come dressed as.

Tonya, Can't wait to see the T shirts. Thanks again for doing that. Congrats on the Cardinals win. Us Tigers fans are bummin this morning. I am glad the Tigers made it as far as they did

Shell I am glad Guido is doing ok. I know those vet bills can add up. We have 2 cats.

Jan Have fun in Kalamazoo with your grandkids.

Jeff I hope you daughter is well soon. My kids just got over a nasty cold. I am hoping and praying that we all stay healthy for the cruise.

Hope everyone has a good Saturday.

Howdy,
well we went to Mt. Dora for the craft festival but there were so many people we couldnt even find a place to park. Shell didnt see your mom and dad or I would of asked to park in their driveway
So we headed back and stopped at the mall and got a few things for making my door signs and Christmas.
Will try to catch a couple local church craft sales next saturday, at least I can find a place to park.

We are a nice 74 degrees today but quite windy.

Tiggerking, I was wondering the same thing about the EHM people.
Maybe it has to do with the Year if a million dreams celebration the Disney is having. Guess we will have to wait and see.

Ugh! So far today, we've had:
1. Thunder
2. Hard rain
3. Wet sleet
4. Lightning
5. Intermittent sun
6. Hard, pellet-like sleet
7. Fragmented blue skies
8. Wind gusts up to 50 mph
9. Light rain

You think YOU'RE ready for a cruise? Ha! Stand in line!

Cold and rainy here. Had company and we were going to go out s hopping, but it was so miserable, and they slept in, so we wound up not going out. She is a computer wizard so we collaborated on a digital scrapbook page, and I learned a lot. Can't wait to try it out on my own.

That's the last of the company - now we can concetrate on getting ready for vacation. I'll have to go shopping tomorrow - I have a list and it's mostly stuff for the cruise or wdw.

Dimples wants the spiderweb witch outfit from the buildabear store - she thinks she'd look good in Orange. But I tell her she'll wear it once and then into the closet it will go with the other eleventy two outfits!

The girls at dinner last night agreed the tiara is fetching! Hope all the ones that are feeling under the weather get better soon!

Later!

[BelievesinFairies]

Thanks to all for the warm invite to post on the board. I have been lurking and I am not ashamed to say I am alittle overwelmed with the number of pages this thread has!

My dh, Kirby, DDs Riley (5) and Kyra (2) will be sailing with you all one month from now! We cannot wait. It is our first EVER cruise. So the excitement is building daily! I have not started packing...but have devoted an entire room to all the "stuff" we have purchased to bring with us!

We are cruising with our family...my sister and her dd, my mother, my brother and friend, my aunt and uncle and their two children (6 and 3) her MIL and two more of my Aunts. It is sure to be a lot of fun...and we are all in a row of rooms with my Aunt being in the Roy Suite!

Can't wait to meet you all.

 

[BelievesinFairies]

so hello again....

 

[cmaelltt1]

Welcome BelievesinFaries, (I didn't catch your real name)

This is our families first cruise as well. It sounds like you have a big group so that should be fun. I have done no packing or buying at all. I would also like to make some signs for our room doors, but haven't started that either. We have been doing a lot of work on our house though, and that has kept me very busy.

We did book a room at Downtown Disney at the Buena Vista Spa for the night after we disembark. My husband thought I was crazy when I first suggested the one day DW trip on Saturday. Now I think he's more excited than I was. I just hope it's decent weather. Now I have to figure out a good price on one day tickets. We are pretty sure we will go to the Magic Kingdom. The kids will like it more, and my son who is 3 months shy of turning 5 is not even close to 40 inches to ride Soarin. He would be so mad if we rode something and he didn't get too. We are now going to have to try to keep this side trip a secret. I'm a big blabber mouth so it probably won't happen.

 

[BelievesinFairies]

Hi there...I am Laurie. I should add that to my signature I guess!
We are staying two nights at the Radisson before the cruise and three nights at the Polynesian after. We're probably going to just do MK and we'll go to Crystal Palace to meet Pooh on Monday. We'll lounge around the pools or go check out Christmas Decorations...and Saturday night we have ressies for Mickey's Barbeque at Fort Wilderness. We talked about Sunday doing Animal Kingdom...but I don't want to be too busy. But, that is just with our family...so we have some time with just us.

I would love to make my door signs too! I just haven't had the creative streak yet.
I can relate with the secret stuff...I talk about the cruise almost everyday! I am worse than the kids! LOL

 

[Dixielady908]

Hi all !!!

I am Wally, Denise's husband. I cannot wait to meet all of you. She has told me how much of a fun group of people you are on this site. I liked the green t-shirt idea. This cruise will be my first, and hopefully not my last. I really don't know what else to write, except for see you all in about four weeks. This is Denise's site, so I will sign off for now. My e-mail is Suds0805@comcast.net . Take Care and have a Great weekend!

P.S. don't forget about the time change....fall back.

Wally, a.k.a. Denise's better half.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Good morning to all,

Laurie,
boy you are a BIG group.
we do have a cruise meet the first day at 2:45 on the Promenade lounge for all the families. Please come and say hello, bring everyone!!!
Also some adults are meeting at 1:01 ar Signals bar to say hello.
We live in Florida, not too far from WDW but we decided to spend Friday night at the Radisson too. Maybe we will see you, I cant miss a big group like you.

Ask Shell send you the cruise meets list and you can see our picture so maybe you will recognise us. Lots of us have pictures posted on the list.
No kids with us this time, just 4 adults.


Wally,
It was great to hear from you!! We are very excited to meet you guys too. It wont be long now. Glad you dropped by to say hello. Of course now we expect you to stop by and say hello a little more often!!! We dont bite, well Mutt bites, but the rest of us wont bite.

Well it is only in the mid 40's this morning, so guess I will have to put on long pants to take Minnie for her walk this morning.

well time to check my mail so will check back later with everyone,

Kathy

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Laurie,
You dont have to be creative to mqke door signs, I am NOT creative at all, but I do it everytime. Ask the kids to help, they can be really creative too.

here is what I do.
Go to wal mart and buy some magnetic sheets of paper, you fins them in the stationary sections with the computer paper. They are in a red package.
Then check out some tropical or disney themed stickers in a craft or scrapbooking store. Most card departments have them too. I like Michaels or JoAnne's or scrapbooking store for stickers. yiuc an get about anything you can think of.
Then simple arrange the stickers on the page, add some letter stickers to it and your done.
Words could say some thing as simple as Disney Magic 11/25/06 or
Making Magical memories, When you wish upon a star anything can happen, we're cruisin with the Mouse. we be crusin with pirates, just anything that goes along with the stickers you placed on the sign.

One thing that makes it extra easy, I cut out the stickers from the sheet, leaving the back on them so they WONT stick yet, then I rearrange them around the page until I get them the way I like the best, then remove the backing and stick them.

Have fun with it, there is NO right or wrong, just do what you feel and it will be great!!!
Now I expect to see a sign on your door, I will ask you for your room number when we meet so i can check it out , maybe you should have one on each door from the Roy suite on down since your all in a row, then I can find you easily even without an exact room number. Yep, now I expect to see a row of signs there Better get busy Laurie.

Good Morning All ,
Well with the clocks back what is usually 5:30am was 4:30am that Ds was up !! DH got up with him and I was able to go back to sleep!! It was windy today!! DH went to a Baseball Cards Show with his Dad and I am home with DS. I wrapped my regional gift and put in my carry-on diaper bag so I would not forget it!! No exciting plans for today. I am going to TRY to relax. Well I am off to look for an Elmo Christmas DVD on ebay for DS. Talk to you later!!

Question: Can I bring a Hot Iron on board??? Will it fit in the outlets because my blow-dryer did not on 1st cruise??

I really have to start my door sign!!

Laurie and Family!!! My name is Lynn. I am traveling with DH and DS ( 7 months). It is great to have you aboard!!

Shell: Hope you have better weather today?

JD99: How is DD feeling ??

 

[LindaBabe]

Good Morning, All!

Welcome Laurie and Family and extended family and all! Those are great rooms - but be prepared to feel the boat motion up there. I had the next room to the Roy on my first cruise and my head wouldn't stop rockin'. lol.


Hi Wallie - nice to see you too!

Today, I *WILL* go and do the shopping I didn't get to yesterday. and start packing . . . because we'll be gone two weeks, not one. Including thanksgiving. In a villa. What was I thinking?

Happy Day!
