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

[GordonE]

Hello...I want to thank Kathy for pointing out this thread. This is my first time doing this (both threads and cruising on Disney). Sailing with family (in-laws). Hope to meet some of you. Thanks for putting up with a newbie.

Works for me...but you will need to discuss it with my manager (that's your DW BTW)

And all this time I thought Mutt was a guy. . .

Rubberband Man -- great song! We used to play it in pep band!!! (I can play the air drums if needed on karaoke night! )

Good Morning Everyone!

Welcome Gordon - glad you joined us.

I am putting out a desperate plea for all of the well wishes and get well pixie dust this thread can put together...our son still isn't feeling well and is still running a fever with a pretty bad cough. I am taking him to the Dr. as soon as I can get in there this morning...I'm almost hoping it's some sort of sinus infection or something...couging doesn't sound like it's in his chest..more in his throat and stuff. If it's an infection we can get an antibiotic and get him feeling MUCH better in a day or 2. I'm really getting worried that we might have to cancel the trip. I'm fighting back the tears as I type.

I'll check back later and let you know what's up.

Thanks-

Kelly

Gordon!! Glad to have you join our humble, quiet little group!!!

Everyone here is very friendly! Just add a couple with each post and you'll fit right in!

I'm Cheri, we're from far northern Illinois. DH Bill and DD 5 Jessalyn will be on our 2nd DCL cruise.

I'm sure Kathy and the others will fill you in on DIS meet times and other bits of information.

Welcome aboard!!

Shell - Help! I wanted to make your pork chop recipe and I didn't write it down. I tried to scan the thread for it but it's taking too long. Would you mind posting it again for me?
OR - anyone who copied it down please send it back out! Thanks

Welcome new family!

Ok, enough sickness for one small group! EVERYONE think good wishes and for all!

Happy Birthday to Lynn's husband! Wow there are a lot of Nov. birthdays!
Kathy - got your e mail - Thanks.

I've got too much to do in a few short days! I'm beginning to feel overwhelmed.

Good morning!!!

Andrew!!!

Kelly. Keep us informed!

Lauri -- great picture of DS. Lynn -- also loved the newest pic of DS you posted a few days back!

DBW -- I'll also be right up there in line since I guessed the movie quote correctly!

Not much happening here. Went to "the mall" Saturday -- Lynn, you should be proud! -- only went to Sears for vaccuum bags & Disney Store for stuff for DD. Grabbed the rest of the necessaries (like paint chips from Home Depot!) yesterday so hopefully we're all set!

Went to Huntley for the birthday party Friday -- I did see the sign advertising the Turkey Test**** Festival on the 22nd. Since I can't bring any as the regional gift, anyone want to place a special order???? I'm sure we could have them sent straight to the ship as a welcoming gift.

Going to get ready for work. (my last day in the office till December! )

Have a great day!
Cheri

P.S. Kathy (and the rest of you Floridians), let's see what you can do to bump those temps up into the 80s for Saturday!!!

Cheri, My DH is with you on that one...he offered to play the air guitar

Wendy

It could become Tiara Bob and The Dreamboats featuring The Fresh-Air Band.

 

[pgfour]

I think Catherine Zeta-Jones should play me. Or Kathy Bates.

Go with C Z-J! Angelina Jolie can be me!

 

[TiggerKing]

Good morning everyone!

35 degrees when I woke up, with a high of 47 today and the mention of s*** flurries tonight! What is up with that? This is Georgia! We don't do that stuff the week of Thanksgiving. Oh well, it just makes me pull out the Buffett and dream of Saturday!

 

[TiggerKing]

Has anyone else noticed the "Sand Santa" right in front of the Two Palms Cam? Maybe now we can figure out exactly where this camera is located!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Kelly , prayers and for DS.
Remember kids are tough, thye bounce back a lot faster than we do!!
You still have a few days

Gordon,
so glad you found us
we are a bit crazy here.
Do you sing??
A group of the men here have formed a group called Taira Bob and the Dreamboats for Karoake night. From what I have read they still need someone who can sing. They are can lip snyc but that is about it.

Our family meet is at 2:45 in the Promenade lounge the first day. It will be easy to find the lounge, it is open air and you will walk by it as soon as you walk out of the atrium when you board the ship, they will urge you to go to the left fo rlunch and you will walk right by it on your left.
We will be easy to spot because of all the bright lime green shirts you will see. That is where you want to be.

Plus some of the adults are meeting for a drink at Signals bar by the adult pool the first afternoon at 1:01. If your on the ship by then, please drop by and say hello.

If it gets confusing, just ask someone where Kathy is and I'll introduce you to some people. I am easy to find, I am the semi old lady with the BIG mouth
Looking forward to meeting you soon.

gotta zip out to the bank, will check back around noon to see what is happening here today.

Keep those posts coming

Kathy

Shell - Help! I wanted to make your pork chop recipe and I didn't write it down.

1. Brown pork chops (don't have to be cooked all the way through)
2. Place chops in crockpot
3. Cover chops with 1 box of prepared pork-flavored Stove Top stuffing
4. Cover stuffing with 1 can of apple pie filling
5. Turn on the crockpot; cook on medium for about 4 hours

Good morning everyone!

Welcome Gordon We are the official Canadian representatives on this cruise - eh.


Well, there was snow on the cars this morning I suppose it just makes the cruise look better and better!

I got most of our packing done this weekend. DH has still not given me ANYTHING to pack. So....if you see a missing-link-orangutang type thing running around do not fear, it is only DH.

Re: the pedi discussion - I go for pink - and Lauri, I too have a flower and some 'bling' on my toes. Although my right 'bling' came unglued (tick me off!) so I am kinda mismatched

So far the family is holding off the sickness. DH was complaining about a bit of a throat tickle this morning so I demanded he dose himself today. Fingers crossed.

I roped a friend of mine into helping with the pillowcase iron-ons and I think they look quite nice. I haven't ironed them on yet, but will hopefully tomorrow. I have to buy one more pillowcase today and then all should be done.

My pirate costume is still MIA - I am PRAYING it shows up tonight. It will be my luck to come home Wed after look and have one of those UPS stickies on my door saying to pick it up, but the store will be closed and won't open in time for me to get there before we have to leave! Anyway, I am trying not to think about it

Otherwise, things are good here. I think I have all my directions mapquested and all my confirmations printed out.

Bob - what time are we meeting at Grills Friday night??

Only 3 days of work for me - we fly out on Thursday. Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[jd99]

So Illness has visited the JD99 house once again and this time, it's ME. I am not worried about it as I WILL soldier through and get to this cruise if they have to take me on in a stretcher. What I am worried about is the girls catching anything from me. I'm trying to keep my distance and have washed my hands so many times in 24 hours they are raw. So I could use just a little pixie dust. Send the majority to Kelly - I just need a shot to make sure the kids don't catch whatever I have!

Happy Monday to all. See you all in a few days. (YIKES)

 

[cindalu]

Hi everyone,
I hope everyone has a great day. I am so excited. We are mostly packed. My 2 DD and I got our hair cut on Friday and we are getting our nails done tomorrow night after work. Wednesday will be a busy day.

Four days and counting. We are leaving early Friday morning.

Have a great day

[TiggerKing]

Bob - what time are we meeting at Grills Friday night??

Sarah, we are meeting at 7:30 at Grills. That will allow Tonya and her family to make it to Cocoa from MCO. I will wear one of my lime green shirts so you can spot me!

Gordon: Welcome aboard. Beware of the ones called Wendy and Shell...they are DANGEROUS!

Jeff: Fell better, buddy! I am going to the doctor to get drugs for a sinus infection either today or tomorrow. Not worried about that, as the salt air will help it. My biggest concern right now is the level of pain in my left knee. I hope it doesn't infringe too much on my ability to snorkel and walk. That would REALLY cause me pain to not be able to do those things!

 

[favoriteslave]

Good Morning all.

Welcome Gordon. When you see the SEA of green coming toward you, you are more than welcome to just join us. Glad to have you aboard. hehe

Well I got some packing done yesterday. Bathing suits, tiara, t-shirts. As if I need anything else. Anywho, Sarah DH has only packed his bathing suits, so I feel your pain.

We cleaned house this weekend, really didn't want to come home to a dirty house. So at least thats one thing off my list.

I hope that Linda is having a great time in FL. But I wish it would be better weather for her. But you take the world anyway you can get it.

GET BETTER to all of those are sick. DS came home with a cough from his fathers, he got double the vitamins this morning, and extra b-12 pill, OJ and some toast. So hopefully we can get this stopped before it starts. I will be praying for all of you that you stay healthy before and during the trip. We don't want to be like that other cruise line and end up with a majority of us sick for the cruise.

Have a great MONDAY, for next MONDAY we will be at sea. arhhh.....

 

[JanDave]

Welcome Gordon and Family!!!! Cruising will be me and DH Dave (our 7th DCL cruise), and friends, who have never cruised, Bob and Gitta. We live in mid-Michigan. Snow flakes were falling yesterday.

Kelli: to your son, Kelly, for a speedy recovery.

Jeff: Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. Hopefully, Mina and the girls will stay healthy. So, excessive washing of hands, a little OCD, huh? Just have to get a smile out of you. No excuses in missing this cruise, as you owe me two drinks!!!

Pedicure: Going for my first pedicure tonight. Thanks, ladies, for all the suggestions. Hope the polish doesn't wear off before you meet me at 2:45 pm on Saturday.

Packing: Dave and I finished packing yesterday, except for a few last minute items to pack Thursday afternoon. By the way, Dave does his own packing. Months ago, I mentioned that 2 cruises ago, he was packed a week before the cruise but forgot to pack pants. He wore shorts the first night, then luckily he found a black pair in Treasure Ketch that fit him.

Shell: Thanks for the pork chop recipe. Dave won't like it with apple pie filling -- too sweet for him, but I'm going to make it when we have company sometime.

Any DVCers on our cruise? We signed up with DVC as being interested in the cruise and hope to book the 2007 DVC member cruise on 12/2. I'm going to ask DVC if we get the discount as we would be booking within the 3 day window post-cruise.

Have a great day everyone. See all of you in a few days.

Jan
