[DisneyDreamer8]

My goodness are you a chatty bunch today!!!!! :banana:

7 pages since this morning!!!

:bday: To Rebecca!!!!

Happy Anniversary to Kimberly and to Ken and Shari! :grouphug:

Not a great day at work today... all I kept saying is "4 weeks from this minute I will be on a bench in Epcot"....

Have to pull out the "30 days before" list and see what we have to do.

Debbie

:cloud9: Hey Peter.....are you too busy today :cloud9:

Thanks Debbie :flower:

Hope your day at work tomorrow goes much better :wizard:

[EpcotKilterFan]

(I am just trying to catch up with all of you...so I will post a bunch at one time :earsboy: )

I have a techy question......

My computer will not let me into disneyland.com.... or really any of the parks websites. When I go to them they shut my browser down completely. I can go to disney.com, but that is it.

Anyone have any ideas?!?!? I really want to order my tickets online, but my computer won't let me.

Debbie

[JenKatt]

You might want to run a spyware removal program, like Adaware.. sounds like you might have something bugging your computer...

I did Adaware and Spybot. Nothing. There was another one a friend sent me, but I have no clue how to use it! I have to send the results to someone and have them debug it (I guess) http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/

Thanks :)

[karaeric]

Has anyone realized the Master List is over 10% of the capacity of the Magic?

This is based on the Magic being SOLD OUT!

WOW :earseek:
Oh my! That's quite the statistic...I guess :disrocks:

[DisneyPinDiva]

Does anyone know if there are any discounts for DVC members at Disneyland? Merchandise, Dining etc??

[karaeric]

What's the scoop on the wine tasting? I'm not sure who is orginizing this and I would like to find out when and where in hopes that I can make this along with the wife.

.Bryan

Well, the event is being sponsored by Dreams Unlimited (through the ever-fabulous WebmasterRegina) who is coordinating snacks and a location for us to hold the event.

If you are interested in attending or have questions about wine that you would like to know the answer to, PM me. I am the keeper of the attendee list and have also volunteered my father to speak about wine. Sort of a mini wine seminar for free. My parents are wine-grape growers and my father also works in a winery, so he is quite knowledgeable and a very good teacher...(sorry, I'm very proud of my Dad :blush: can ya tell?)

[karaeric]

I'll throw out an offer, if anyone can use this.

DW and I own a business, and are located three miles from Disneyland. We have full shipping accounts for both UPS and FedEx available, along with packing tape, etc.

If people need to ship things home after the cruise, we can probably help. Shipping costs would be up to you, but they would be at our rates, which are better than what you can get at any walkup location.

If any one is interested, please PM me, and we'll see what we can do for you.

Tony
Wow Tony! That is really generous of you! We won't be staying to play in the parks, unfortunately. Shipping directly home to our critters. But I'm sure there will be some who would love to take you up on your offer.

NO ORANGE HARDHAT! That's where I draw the line! A parrot hat maybe, but no hardhat.

BTW--PHINS UP!

[Hygiene99]

Oh! And welcome to all of the newbies!! :Pinkbounc :grouphug:

Ask questions!!! We are happy to answer them....it will also remind us of things we may need to do yet! :rotfl:

This Saturday night at 9 pm will be a chat with the August Repositioning cruise. You can PM Peter for the link and the password. We had a gret time at the last one, and you can ask alot of questions there too.

Debbie
bump thanks Kmiles

We Have the location and The pasword If You Need it Again...

I have sent her a couple of PM's regarding linking late dining and haven't heard anything. Please PM me if you know!

[seaulater]

Okay, just finished my first night's dinner on the ship with my fantasmic dinner group at our table on the Magic. Yep, that's what I will be doing 30 days from now.

And now getting ready for the new Opening Night show!!!!!

I'm so excited.

Linda

P.S. :confused3 :confused3 Where is an icon with a picture of the Magic anyway? Note to webmaster...................................... :rotfl:

I am so bad.
:bday: TO YOU!
I think that I missed some anniverseries also. So Happy Anniversary to them also.

[moocow35]

WOW! Pages and pages since this morning. I think if I had internet at work, I would be in serious trouble! (maybe thats why they put that stinking internet cop on our computers)

Happy birthday Rebecca! :bday: Enjoy your special night!

Happy anniversary to Ken and Shari, and Kimberly!

Welcome to our newcomers! Renae and family, and Bruce, Sandy and family! Glad you were able to book and found us!

:banana: :banana: The docs are printing and will be mailed next week!?? :banana: :banana: That is the best news ever!

Thanks for the reminder about bug spray. I bought some stuff from Avon, but asked my derm, and he said anything with deet.

Robin (aka Brunhilda Pink Toe pirate: )

Boy Guys!

I loved reading about our sailaway... I WAS RIGHT THERE! I would LOVE to help with holding up the banner! :Pinkbounc

I have a request for all of you prayer warriors out there... :goodvibes This Saturday I have to take a Civil Service exam. As a 12 year State of NJ employee, I've taken my share of these things, BUT this one is different. Due to falling through many cracks in the antiquated system, I must now take an exam for 2 titles down from the work I have been doing for the past 3-5 years. After managing a new project for the past 3 years, and passing the Manager test, and winning Civil Service appeals, the Dept of Personnel decided I shouldn't have been allowed to take the Manager exam. When they got to my name, they requested my name be removed from the official list... and it was. Yes, I am still doing that job, but a new PM has been brought in so the team looks balanced on paper.

I havenot programmed in 7 years, and have been told that this test is designed for programmewr/analysts. Those in the group who I've been supervising will be taking the same test along with me.

I guess the humiliation :blush: everyday, of coming into work, with everyone knowing I've been taken off the list, and must now take an entry test after being consumed with project planning, deadlines, personnel, etc. (I've been there 12 years, and now due to reg changes, and title consolidations, I must take and pass this test)

It's just been so tough. I've been so upset over this, :sad2: I stayed home today in bed, with my heart racing like I've just run a marathon... totally wiped out. Yjese past 6 months have taken their emotional toll. I'm feelling better now, but the mountain on Saturday sure looks big to me!

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Poor Joe (DH) hates to see me so upset. I'd really like to quit, but with retirement and pension 6-7 years away, it's just not realistic. Thanks for letting me ramble... :listen: and thanks for your prayers and your support! :lovestruc

Happy Anniversary to everyone celebrating!!!!!!

Can't wait to meet everyone.....only 30 more days!!!!!!!

[moocow35]

Hi everyone! :wave2:

I heard from Susan this week, and the pins are being delivered to her in about two weeks. Apparently there were some delays getting our order in with the company and John adjusting the design or colors, so we are cutting this really close. Susan will take out the Eastbounders orders and then mail them to me.

I know some of you wanted me to mail the pins in advance, but since we are cutting this so close (the stress is killing me) I don't think this will be possible. I plan to bag them all up, label them, and pass them out in the terminal, and at the sailaways. If I miss you, make sure your stateroom number is on the master list so I can deliver them to you.

Hopefully the two week time she gave me is accurate. If not, the alternate plan is Sarah (Malificent59) will get the pins from Susan and bring them along with her to the port.

One month from today I will be sitting at the show. Funny Linda, I did the same thing at work all day today! My co-workers think that I am nuts!

Happy Birthday :bday: :cake:

Happy Anniversary :thewave:

to everyone CELEBRATING - Hope you enjoyed to the fullest......

so many to keep up with right now..............

Once again, WELCOME to all the newbies - everyone is catching on real fast

GEORGIE: You know you can do it. Take a deep breath, close your eyes and do what you have to - show them............ You'll come through with flying colors. I know, easy to say on our end -----

Keep the faith, kiddo

WHERE IS THAT SAIL AWAY BANNER AGAIN :cool1:

Good Luck Georgie!!!!!


You will be great! :Pinkbounc :cheer2: :cheer2: pirate:

[Scott H]

We leave for our 5 mile dog walk and you guys chat up a storm. Gotta love this group. My road trip starts tomorrow and looks like I will be out about 7 days. The good side of the trip is I will get to another Walmart and maybe Sierra Trading Post. (Kelli not the Cheyenne one)

Happy Birthday Rebecca.

Leslie, re DVC I kinda recall getting a discount on some places at DTD and even in the emporium on Main Street. I tried to go to the DVC member site and it was too busy to get access.

Georgie, All I can say is I understand and thoughts and prayers will be there. Funny how what makes good old common sense is not the way things work when it comes to state Government. Hang in there. The pension these days is worth it not that I have 2 years one month and 16 days till I finish up. But who is really counting.

[DisneyPinDiva]

Georgie: Good luck... prayers and pixie dust will be with you all day Saturday! While you're testing.. just keep thinking... 4 weeks from today I'm sailing away!!! Keep those calming ocean breezes in mind!

:bday: Rebecca!! Hope you have a great evening!

[Kevin&Randall]

We leave for our 5 mile dog walk and you guys chat up a storm. Gotta love this group. My road trip starts tomorrow and looks like I will be out about 7 days.

Chat up a storm? Chat up a storm? Today was a Category 3 hurricane. I went to work and got back to 10 pages of posts. I'm exhausted reading everything. :faint:

Scott, if you are gone for 7 days, you'll catch up about 4 days into the cruise. Let us know how close we were to being right on some stuff.

Welcome new members. Congratulations birthday / anniversay folk. :cake: Those taking tests, you'll do fine. Jenn & Jeff, I hope you can function on a few hours sleep. You are going to get flooded with room numbers soon. And to those waiting for pins, hats off to Susan and Robin for keeping track of everything. :worship:

I'm off to bed. When I wake up, I'm sure there will be 10 more pages of posts to read. We all need to get a hobby. :rotfl: Latch-hook rug making anyone?

Randall

:earsboy:

[Az Pirates]

I loose cable service for a day and I'm pages and pages behind!

Happy Birthday Rebecca! :cake:

Happy Anniversary Ken & Shari :hug: Kimberly & Carl :love2:

Welcome to all the new cruisers! Now maybe I won't be alone trying to get everything done in the last couple of weeks. I told DH we should get the suitcases out and his comment was "it's way too soon for that"
:rolleyes:

Georgie, prayers and pixie dust being sent your way. :wizard:

Robin, Just another thing to look forward to... getting the first glimpse of the pins on the ship. If they cut it too close we can have a sort and package party on board!

Lynda, if you don't post a picture of your house - bring one with you so we can check it out.



Doc's being printed now :earseek: HOW EXCITING!





Peter, I'm with Debbie. What's up with that?
:cloud9: ;)

[videogal1]

Lynda,

ooo, a top!

I thought we only have the neighbors from H*#&... They actually built 8 feet onto our property and then we had to spend 5K dollars to get them off. This was one of the minor things that they have done... Stand your ground girl !!!

Bye, Kim

I did..Been here 20 years now...It wasn't my only tangle with the neighborhood association...just the first...
I actually don't have next door neighbors...Bought 5+ acres and built on the ravine side of it...Just call me cautious...only have someone behind me...The neighborhood black sheep. The guy's a nut...His wife invented clumping cat litter...

Sorry to hear about your neighbors...best to avoid 'em but I think my backyard neighbors have done the same to me...

[icunurse_celeste]

If you are considering ordering your Disneyland tickets from Disney- DON'T.

Go to www.hotwiresavingsclub.com- get the free trial. You can save 10% and they are the same tickets with the $10 ESPN and early entry. Shipping is free- mine took 5 days and were delivered by DHL.
Just a thought!
Celeste

(I am just trying to catch up with all of you...so I will post a bunch at one time :earsboy: )

[Scott H]

Randall, luckily I will have my laptop with me so should not get too far behind. Holiday Inn’s are getting pretty good wireless service these days. So I should be set.

My co-workers know I am nuts, but every now and then it is a good thing. Should help me out during the middle of next week.

Bob, great mix, Bimini Twist covers a pretty special place for us, add to that One Particular Harbor, I’d swear that song was written about Alice Town on North Bimini, even though I know it wasn’t, it sure fits it to a tee. Pirate Looks at 40+ these days sure fits me.

I would add Key Largo, kinda fits Lynn and I, Actually a Red Sovine (sp) song “ Jackson Hole Wyoming is the Coldest Place I know) fits better. After Lynn and I met she moved here to Wyoming so we could be together. A day after she arrived the temps went to –64 and stayed there for a week. Wow that was back in the winter of 78-79.

Will we be far enough south to see the Southern Cross? It was well after dark when we landed in Tanzania and my first thoughts were to find the Southern Cross and there it was for me to see on the Far Side of the World. I woke up beneath the African Sky just me and my Swiss Army Knife. Wish I could take that knife with us as together we have had some pretty neat adventures.

I will be printing out a sky map for this trip after the first of May and will check out the southern hemisphere just incase. The site is www.skymaps.com should anyone be interested.

Gotta go into my office tonight and send myself some emails, with work documents. New system with no access from the net. Makes working and travel kinda difficult.

[icunurse_celeste]

Georgie-
I know I am new to the group- but not new to test taking.
After taking the GRE and the NCLEX (the test to become a registered nurse) and all the current tests for grad school-
Just remember-
Always go with your first instinct. If you change your answer or over think it- it will probably be wrong.

Hope this helps!

;)

It is my understanding that we should be able to see it. Course, my "pretty sure" information could be off also.

[Scott H]

Bob, Just checked the charts and our southern most lat will be about N 7 degrees. Time for some research, the game is afoot, oops I am supposed to say that at work not here.

Could have added "Back to the Island". For some reason, at the adult beach at castaway cay, they play "He Went to Paris".
pirate: Considering this crew, maybe "Send Lawyers, Guns and Money". pirate:
Then if one was drving down to port, then the "I-95 Song" may be appropriate.
Thank goodness I have a mp3 player to listen to everywhere else. :)
I can listen to everything.

[3DAN]

Georgie, We're behind you ....
Tried reverse M&M for Billy. Looks good. Krinkled in the dryer since I didn't turn it inside out.
Welcome to all the newbies. Celeste, Angela and I are both internal medicine. Think we might have a meet for CME???/ :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Maybe CPR training?
Don't forget to order your shirts.

http://www.earthsky.com/shows/shows.php?t=20040519
says the following- JB: European explorers sailing south of the equator discovered this fact as well. They watched the Big Dipper -- the signature star formation of our northern skies -- disappear to the north. Meanwhile, the most famous Southern Hemisphere constellation -- Crux also known as the Southern Cross -- came into view in the south.

DB: But it is possible for the Big Dipper and the Southern Cross to shine in the same sky. On May evenings, the Big Dipper and the Cross reach their highest points in the night sky in concert. At this magical evening hour, the Southern Cross can be seen at latitudes as far north as southern Florida or Texas.

JB: At the same time, the Big Dipper can be seen all the way south to mid-Australia. For star charts showing the Big Dipper and Southern Cross, come to earthsky.org. .
Hope they're right..."when you've seen the Southern Cross, you understand just why you've come this way" :rolleyes1

[JenKatt]

That would be awesome to see the Southern Cross again. Last time we saw it was in the outback of Australia... it's amazing how bright the stars are when you're thousands of miles from the nearest city and light pollution...

[Q's My Princess]

Georgie,

Keep your head up :goodvibes You can do anything you set your mind to!

We will all be sending good vibes to you from now until Saturday!

BEST OF LUCK! :wizard:

[Scott H]

Pretty much found the same info, sounds like we have a night time mission. Off to earthsky.org. So true Jen ya gotta get away from the city lights to see the neat stuff.

[BobandLee]

So if we rise early...and stay up late, when do we sleep. I'm too old for that. :rotfl:
late now. night.

[Scott H]

I could teach the O2 and CPR and AED stuff if ya want. LOL

Went back to Bob's list as I was curious and wanted to see if I knew his #1

Nope. ;)

[myfairygodmother]

Wow!! I go out of town for a few days and have 28 pages to catch up on!

Welcome to all the new cruisers! With all the planning/research I've done over the last year, I have no idea how I'd be able to get everything ready in just a month???

I did make it to Wal-mart today and found my blinkie flippie floppie thingies -- had such a hard time deciding what color...

Sounds like we have a growing list of medical personel on the cruise(Mechelle and I are both RRT's)--may come in handy for drunken Twister!

Someone asked about private transfers from LA port to DL area hotels. We have booked exclusive van service through Supershuttle. I don't have the price with me right now but it was a good bit cheaper than private car service and the only difference is that we have a van to ourselves instead of a car to ourselves(more room for luggage :) ).

Liz
a.k.a. Dirty Ethel Vane

In 28 days 9 hours and 35 minutes we will be heading to Florida :banana:

[kellib36]

Had teeth pulled and discussed implants but decided not to go that route. Many $$'s involved.

:sunny: Sending some sunshine your way...even tho by the time you get this, you'll have been back to work already.....

I've worked 12+ hours both yesterday and today, and get on here to over 200 emails.....KNOCK IT OFF~~~!!! :sad2: How will I ever survive these next few weeks?!?!?!?

[kellib36]

I sure am feeling the pressure to get the blinky flippy thingies! Sounds like a great excuse to venture to Walmart this weekend...


Go ahead and cave, Kara!!! It feels good!!! :teeth: My sil tried to embarrass me at Curves the other day by talking about my need for a pair of lightup flip flops (she doesn't know the technical name!) and I told her I *had* to get them, not optional. How else would we know each other at the port?!?!?!?

We came through our audit with flying colors, the best we have ever done and the CEO gave me a bonus! I'll give it to myself on next payroll April 30, just in time for the cruise!!!!

Way to go, LINDA!!!!! I remember you were pretty stressed about it at the time!! Glad to hear you'll give yourself a raise...if you want my routing number, I could use one too! :teeth:

[ImprovGal]

Don't mind me. I'm just sitting here waiting for it to turn 12:01 so I can check in for my SWA flight tomorrow to MCO. It's only a 3 night trip, so I figure I should be returning to 50 unread pages on Monday. ;)

... and now I'm trying to return my heart rate to a normal speed.
Here's my little caution for those of you flying Southwest --
There seems to be a bit of a delay (a couple of minutes?) between when your flight is listed as available for checkin and when you can actually use the online checkin. During this delay, if you try to check in online, you may get an error message telling you your flight is closed and unavailable and you need to call reservations to make alternate travel plans. Silly me thought that perhaps because the flight was sold out they were going to bump me out of it since I used rapid rewards credit. Crisis averted, panic mode off.

*pant pant pant*

[kellib36]

It's just been so tough. I've been so upset over this, :sad2: I stayed home today in bed, with my heart racing like I've just run a marathon... totally wiped out. Yjese past 6 months have taken their emotional toll. I'm feelling better now, but the mountain on Saturday sure looks big to me! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Poor Joe (DH) hates to see me so upset.

Aw, you poor thing! :guilty: Hang in there, and think POSitive!!! :goodvibes And if anything happens, we'll all come break their kneecaps!!! :teeth:

I know how it feels to make yourself sick over worrying. My Mom taught me everything she knew about worrying unnecessarily!!!! I'm SO sorry this is happening at all, and especially right now. Don't those bozos know you've got other things to worry about? Let us know how it turns out! Will you know the results Sat night?

:cloud9: <-----Bonzie on our cruise!!!!

[kellib36]

The good side of the trip is I will get to another Walmart and maybe Sierra Trading Post. (Kelli not the Cheyenne one).

I know where!!! :teeth:

[QUOTE=Scott H]Randall, luckily I will have my laptop with me so should not get too far behind. Holiday Inn’s are getting pretty good wireless service these days. [QUOTE]

We are then flying back to Chicago on Tuesday, the 31st from Santa Ana

Ummm....I wasn't going to say anything but I've just been informed that I will be wearing my pretty new hand/thumb/wrist immobilizing cast while cruising...It appears that I have developed a repetitive stress injury in the only hand that works...bummer...Must have something to do with drilling dozens of holes in all manner of hard things...No more Dremel, no more driving, no more housework...no more...what was that ??? oh, a silver lining...

Hey Scott,
I never did do a rundown of my "chillin 'til the cruise" cd
her goes-
1.
2. Celebration-song played as we set sail
3. Jump In Line

SNIP

20. One Particular Harbor-Castaway Cay is (one of) my favorite places
21. A Pirate Looks Forty- pirate:

There could have been more, but the cd only holds so much.

Bob --

Have you considered a "greatest hits" album? A festive multi-CD collection of songs to sail by.

If you take requests may I recommend:

Two Tickets to Paradise -- Eddie Money
Sailing -- Christopher Cross
Cool Running -- Boz Skaggs
Lido Shuffle -- Boz Skaggs
California Dreamin' -- Mamas & the Papas
Good to Go to Mexico -- Toby Keith

and for all of us who have to fly, how could we forget

Leaving on a Jet Plane -- John Denver

29 days! 29 days! 29 days!

Goodmorning Kim! I have the info copied: I have to get my box together this weekend!



To ship a package to the Disney Magic:

Address Package to:

Disney Cruise Lines
9001 Marlin Street
Cape Canaveral, FL 32920

bottom left corner of package put the following information:
ATTN: HOUSEKEEPING
STATEROOM #: xxxx (GTY if you don't know your # when you send pkg.)
PASSENGER NAME: NAME OF PASSENGER ON RESERVATION
VESSEL: DISNEY MAGIC
DATE OF SAIL: 5/14/05
NUMBER OF BOX(ES) (I.E. 1 OF 1 or 1 OF 2 AND 2 OF 2; SO ON AND SO FORTH)

She said you can ship as early as you want and you can ship it anyway you want (Fed Ex., UPS, US Parcel Post, Slow boat from China). All you have to do is pay the shipping costs to get it to DCL, they do the rest.

WOW!!! I had a lot of catching up to do! Yes, the Downy wrinkle stuff does work (I know..I know..that was like a million pages ago! :sad2: ) I use it all of the time and brought it on our last cruise, and it saved me a couple of times. I did use it one night on DH dress pants and shirt, worked fine!

Thanks for all the Anniversary wishes! :grouphug: Hope everyone else had a good night. I ended up working late, getting pizza and hanging out with our guests. I went in to see where my DH was, and he was sound asleep! AWWW :cloud9: Oh well, we will celebrate on the cruise!

Have a great day everyone!

Ok, I'm back. I haven't made any forward progress on the magnets, but I'll be plowing through them this week ahead. The cruise list is fully updated with all pictures and all cabin assignments. The amount of purple at the aft of deck 6 and 7 is amazing.

Good Morning, fellow cruisers!
Anyone still looking for Disney pirate wear (from the ride) can get some at the Mega Store site. They claim they'll ship out in 1-3 days, so we still have time...

Don't forget to order your shirts.

I have to renew my ACLS in July- how about a mock code!
Just don't give me any of those funky odd tachycardias! I like to good old standards- V tach/fib, asystole, and Torsades.

I think we should do a CME on "Addiction to Disney- cause and effect"

I have ordered my shirt for the first day.....and the "cruise ship pin" shirt.

Are there other shirts?


Celeste

[angelaj]

Anyone who's still trying to figure out what to wear on Pirate Night, check this out. It's from the Disney Ink Shop on Zazzle. You can make your own semi-custom shirt! I chose Captain Hook with the phrase "Walk the Plank!". There are two Captain Hooks to choose from on page 1. You can choose your shirt color and your phrase (another cute phrase to choose from is "My ship. My rules.). It's a lot of fun, less expensive than a full pirate costume (my shirt cost $20something), and fast. I ordered mine Sunday and got it yesterday in the mail.

I'm planning to wear my shirt with a denim skort and my blinkie flippy floppy thingies.

Here's the link. Scroll down almost to the bottom to see your Captain Hook choices.

Okay, I know it's been discussed here before, but I haven't been reading the thread long since we've just booked the cruise and I can’t read all 8,000+ posts. But I need your help on what to do after the cruise. We’re scheduled to fly out of LAX at 10:30pm on Saturday, so we plan to rent a car at the port, spend a short day at DL then drive to LAX (talk about a long day!).

My dilemma is, I don’t know where the ship docks in LA so I don’t know where to rent a car. Can someone give me the name and address of the port in LA? And yes I do feel silly that I just booked a two week cruise and I don’t even know where I end up! :confused:

The ship docks at the Port of Los Angeles which is in San Pedro CA. The only rental agency close is Enterprise which is across the street from the terminal. The rest of the agencies are located in Long Beach across the St. Vincente Thomas Bridge. Most either have a shuttle or will give you cab fare to come to their agency.

To Book through Enterprise you have to call locally as there is a $25.00 drop off fee for leaving the car at the Airport. I know some of the other agencies are not charging a drop off fee so you might want to check around.

I am impressed by your ambitious schedule. I certainly hope you get to sleep on the plane on the way home.

We are also looking into renting a car. For those of you who are familiar with LAX, is it difficult to get to the car rental return places or are they pretty well marked? We've never flown into or out of LAX and the only thing I know about it is that it is very big :earseek:

I'm trying to find some way to go home to see my documents but since there are only 5 of us in the office, and I already told everyone there we got our documents, I can't very well fake sick!! :rotfl:

It's bad enough that work won't give us internet access at our desks that I had to go to our office library (shhhh I told them I had to do some research!!!!)

I also won't be going straight home after work tonight :sad1: 'cause I have to get some more life savers because I don't think I'll have enough with all the new people joining in....but as soon as I get home I'm ripping into those documents....

I travel alot for business and in my personal opinion LAX is one of the worst airports in the country to get in and out of. My home airport is O'hare in Chicago and would take it anyday over LAX. The problem I have with LAX is the freeways to it are congested almost all the time, the rental car agencies are miles offsite, but what I really hate is the security. Many times they have them on the street going into the airport checking cars. I have lined up numerous times on the sidewalk outside the terminal to get into the security screening line.

Many of the older terminals only have maybe a 100 feet from the curb to the security checkpoint so lining up is difficult. Checking bags there is also a chore, remember one time security would not even let me pull up on the curb to drop my wife and bags off.

My final comment is just allow yourself alot of extra time maybe 1 1/2 hours to drop the rental car and get back to the terminal.

[meb51]

Thanks Tap & Dance. I appreciate your reply. I'm still wavering on whether or not we should rent a car or do supershuttle. We're staying in Annaheim and want to tour LA on Sunday. (We fly out early early on Monday). I think I'll keep exploring options. :moped:

Too funny....EH ?......( we have super mail boxes on each street) ..crazy..EH ?

[bettemom]

Hi everyone,

Well we have finally decided after running all the numbers that we are going to rent a car from Enterprise ( across the street) to get us to the hotel at Disneyland, and then on to LAX on Monday. The price was basically 1/2 of super shuttle and 1/3 of the cost of a private car service. This way if we feel like touring we can...

Does anyone who is renting from Enterprise and staying at Disneyland want to form a little car caravan and drive to the area together ?? My mom is in charge of the map reading, ( already warned her) but in reality we could end up in Mexico ( she knows she is really bad at maps) , however she wouldn't drive in LA for anything...

So if you are interested in forming a car caravan to Disneyland count us in.

Bye, Kim

They didn't care that they were scrapbooking scissors, they just took them till we got back :sad2:
As for the Serentity Bay snorkel meet, I've never seen this wreck, which way is it when you enter the beach? We always go to the sunken machinery and thought that was it... :confused3 is it farther out? :sunny:
thanks all,
Renae

[DisneyDreamer8]

Elaine,

How exciting!!! I can barely sand the wait anymore!!!

As for the flippy floppy blinkies, I am trying to be so good and not bring too many shoes (me, the Imelda Marcos of my friends and family). But you have me convinced that I need to make the trip to Walmart.



Janis

OMG Janis....that is what my DH calls me :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

I can't help it...a girls gotta have options :rotfl:

[DisneyDreamer8]

Elaine,

How Exciting!!!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana:


And to everyone...

Thanks for the Birthday wishes...you all made my day extra MAGICal :wizard:

[krdisneybound]

Hi everyone,
Well we have finally decided after running all the numbers that we are going to rent a car from Enterprise ( across the street) to get us to the hotel at Disneyland, and then on to LAX on Monday. The price was basically 1/2 of super shuttle and 1/3 of the cost of a private car service. This way if we feel like touring we can...
Does anyone who is renting from Enterprise and staying at Disneyland want to form a little car caravan and drive to the area together ?? My mom is in charge of the map reading, ( already warned her) but in reality we could end up in Mexico ( she knows she is really bad at maps) , however she wouldn't drive in LA for anything...
So if you are interested in forming a car caravan to Disneyland count us in.
Bye, Kim

That would be a very good idea, but with everyone getting off the ship and getting all their luggage and keeping their family together and waiting in line to get the rental car/van, there would probably be a traffic jam, if we were to wait on each other. I'm sure there is no waiting area for that. Most of us are going to the Anaheim / DL area anyways. I think that would be hard to do.

For those on late breakfast, it would be impossible. I know, if I were ready to leave, I wouldn't want to wait on others to eat and then disembark and get their car/van and I wouldn't want others to wait on me. If it works out, that would be great, though.

I know the route from Long Beach to DL well and if we are out at the same time as you, we would be glad to head up the road at the same time. Not a problem at all. :moped: :moped:

[NEM]

Doesn't the first person who receives their docs get to buy everyone drinks? Congratulations on that honor Mickey&JoshNut!

Yeah, I heard that was the rule....I'll take a margarita...

Yay for you Elaine!!

Michelle aka NEM

[tap & dap]

It is almost 2:00 pm Central and no one else has got documents yet? That does not seem fair that only one person got them today! Maybe we are all working and they are waiting at home for us?

:confused3 :confused3 :confused3 :confused3 :confused3 :confused3

[Janis]

Rebecca,

Remind me to tell you a funny story about shoes when we meet!


Janis

P.S. Hope your birthday was fabulous!

[NEM]

we are going to have to have a reunion after our cruise in the future. :grouphug:


SHHHHhhhhhhh!!!!!! Dont start talking about it being over....it hasnt even begun!!! What a grand adventure!

[NEM]

Sharon,

“Honey, I just found out somebody is sending us some mail, I guess we should go out and buy a mailbox.” :idea: :p

Very funny....I was thinking the same thing...how strange to have to go buy a mailbox to get your docs....what does your mailman do with your mail now?

Just curious...

Michelle aka NEM :confused3

[krdisneybound]

SHHHHhhhhhhh!!!!!! Dont start talking about it being over....it hasnt even begun!!! What a grand adventure!

Thanks :sunny:

[Scott H]

Kelli that (Cody) is where I may be later in the week. I think several folks would enjoy the mural in the Bottoms Up Bar at the Holiday Inn in Cody. I am in Casper till Tuesday for sure. Up in the air after that.

On the way over here I stopped in Riverton at the Walmart Super Center and scored those Blinky Flippy Floppy Thingies for Lynn and I. Boy those Walmart security dudes have no sense of humor when you dump all the Flippy Floppy Things on the ground and start slam dunking them to find the flashy ones. LOL……

Peter, What is the Holiday on Monday?????

Bob, maybe add Mexico to the CD??? Randall sorry will pass on the John Denver.

Elaine, you lucky duck getting the first docs. Will have to call Lynn when she gets up and tell here to keep a weather eye out. She is working graves.

Regis and Kathy Lee are on their own. DIS folks are much more important to me.

Renae, the wreckage you are referring to is about one third of the way out to the wreck we will be trying find if the tide is high. It is visible when the tide is low. It is a ways out there.

Lynn and I were talking about heading to PO for breakfast on 5/12, will you be there then??

[tap & dap]

:confused3 :confused3 :confused3

Well Nothing Here In At Home Keep Looking At The Mail Box & Porch But Nothing Should I Go Talk To My UPS Dude Saw Him Earlier But He Just Waved Hummmmm

:moped::moped::moped:

[meb51]

I know that a number of us are going to Anaheim for a couple of days after the cruise. How many are going to tour LA? There are several tour companies that will pick you up at your hotel (Gray Line, Star Line, VIP tours, etc.) Has anyone used any of these in Anaheim? I searched the Disney California boards and saw Star Line and VIP mentioned several times. They seem to have the most variety of tours. We plan to go to Disney on Saturday and tour LA on Sunday. I'm wavering as to whether we will rent a car of do Super Shuttle. I want the last couple of days of our vacation to be as stress free as possible. :Pinkbounc

Has anyone tried on their blinkie flippy floppy thingies? Are they comfortable? :sunny:

Marie

[auntrenae]

Scott,

So.... you like those beignets too? ;) I don't know if I'll be there in the morning or not. I don't start OJT for 2 weeks, :hourglass and won't get my schedule until then. :confused3 Since it's a new dept. for me, I'll have NO seniority at all, I suspect the shifts won't be the best, :rolleyes: but during training I might be working days. I'll let you know when I find out. :earsboy:

Anyone else staying at PO before the cruise? ::yes:: If I do see you, I'd love to know that you're Dis'ers! :grouphug: That would be so fun! I know I'd get all flustered and :bitelip: forget what I was doing :confused3 but it would be an early thrill before the official meets. :cheer2:

Thanks for the info on the wreck. :boat: I always thought the machinery was quite a ways out there, :rolleyes2 but it's worth it to see something new :fish: :boat: :fish: lunch afterwards will be a great reward! :mickeybar :drinking1

can't wait to meet you all,
Renae :earsgirl:

[Scott H]

So.... you like those beignets too?

Yes we do.
Wishing I were wiping the powder sugar off my face to answer, Note to self, don’t wear black that day.

[kpros]

Yes we do.
Wishing I were wiping the powder sugar off my face to answer, Note to self, don’t wear black that day.

Hi Scott

While you and Lynn are getting covered in powder sugar, we will be zooming around Epcot on the Segways. I hope you have plenty of time to get that sugar rush out of your system before Dive Quest. ;)

Ken

[Scott H]

Ken, It is a new theory I am working on to eliminate a weight belt.. LOL

Segways are fun, bad thing is you want to buy one after the program.

[kpros]

Ken, It is a new theory I am working on to eliminate a weight belt.. LOL

Segways are fun, bad thing is you want to buy one after the program.

I used one on the Magic back in 2003. It was fun, but it got boring quickly just riding around in circles on the basketball court. I'm looking forward to actually going somewhere on it.

Scott: We have one and it is just awesome. DH goes to the store shopping with it and puts the groceries in a bag we have hanging on it. He knows everyone in the neighborhood now and I know no one.!!! He lets some of the older kids take a short ride on it but he is very - very careful about it. Can be very tricky with any move you make. You would not regret it if you were to purchase one. I take it that you have riden one before. Come to our house and you can ride all you want, anytime.

For me, I like my :moped: much better right now.
kay

[Scott H]

Would have to have snow tires for one here in WY, Maybe when we move to FL.

Thanks for the offer, we did the Segway tour last May. It was fun.

[SandraLee]

Such a strange question, but . . . I know Minnie always wears the white, flowing, sparkley dress on Formal night for the pictures. But, what does she wear for Semi-Formal night? Is she out and around? I'm thinking that DD may wear the Minnie costume for semi-formal night -- I'd love a picture with them...

Az Pirates (Sheila), Does Cammie have a Minnie Mouse costume? Any other around 6 year old DDs (Kaylin?) have Minnie Mouse costume? What a marvelous picture that would be!??

[bonzie1]

Ken

Ken... Joe rode one back in 2003 too (DVC member cruise)... wonder if you were in the same group. He liked it so much, we BOTH took the Segway tour in EPCOT last year! It was GREAT. To ride through EPCOT during the Flower Show in the early morning... just BEAUTIFUL!!! :flower:

I was proud of myself for taking it... it was rough going at first. In the "training area" we were in pretty tight quarters, and the girl next to me couldn't stop... you guessed it... BAM!!! right into me! My confidence was shaken after that. :rotfl:

HAVE FUN!!! Tell us how you liked it when we catch up on the cruise.

[bonzie1]

:cloud9: A BIG THANK-YOU TO EVERYONE :cloud9:

I was in pretty bad shape last night when I posted about tomorrow's Civil Service Exam. So many of you wrote such encouraging thoughts. Words could never truly express my gratitide. Please know I was really touched.

My plan is to get a good night's sleep, and go in expecting to do my best with God's help. I'm greatful His mercies are new every morning! :goodvibes

I've been told the test was designed to be very hard, and will consist of 20-minute problems (don't know how many). The test will take 3 hours (from 9 to 12). I don't know when the results will be posted.

I definitely felt a BIG group hug. :grouphug: Thanks for reaching out! See everyone soon!

:cloud9: THANKS AGAIN :cloud9:

Okay... One more post, then I'm going to look at moreBoolean Logic problems! :rotfl2:

DH called the cruislline this morning and found out the following moviesare tentatively scheduled to be showing on the Magic during our cruise.

No Star Wars, but that could change. We'll have to call back closer in. They have things like National Treasure, Pacifier, Ladder 49, Mary Poppins, Incredibiles, Pirates of the Carribean - stuff like that.

I was wondering if they would be showint Pirated the night of the POC Party! Wouldn't it be cool if they had a LATE showing (say after the deck party) and we could all go in our pirate garb!

I'M HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ripped open my box and checked out my documents!!!!!!!!

Included was:

1. Our travel booklets
2. Passport to Disney Magic booklet
3. Disney Cruise Line Gift brochure
4. Information about the Port of LA
5. Gov't of Bahamas Immigration Arrival Card
6. Formalwear brochure
7. Immigration document reminder
8. New Castaway Cay shore excursion card

all enclosed in a really cool box that looks like a suitcase!!!!

Now I really believe that we're going!!!!!

YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elaine

P.S. For all you that said I had to buy drinks....I can only afford the ones at the Deck 9 drink station...remember we're Canadians and it costs us more to get a US dollar (well actually about $1.26 CDN for $1 US) !!!!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[auntrenae]

Is anyone besides us using DCL transfers to get to/from the ship? My DH called and found out that they will take us from Long Beach either to the LAX or DL after disembarking. It sounds less complicated to me than renting a car and worrying about traffic etc. in LA. It's going to be one heck of a party on those buses! We usually just drive out to the port, but this time we can't, or we'd have to go back out there to pick it up afterwards.
Renae

[Hygiene99]

OH NO!

Now in addition to the great hammock race on Castaway Cay we will also have the great Acapulco polo shirt race.

Watch out Roberto!

Go Peter!
:cheer2:

Thanks so much for all the great info Roberto!
I've seen your thread on the CC boards. Glad you found your way to the Dis!

Mom & I are using DCL transfers to get to/from the ship. We are staying at Disney's Grand Californian after the cruise.

I just thought it would be easier for us - I've heard that the freeways in LA are crazy.

Thanks for posting that Georgie. I hope they update that list a little bit more before we sail...those are, for the most part, the same movies that were playing when we sailed in December. Now, I love the Incredibles and National Treasure, but both will have been released on DVD by the time we sail. Usually DCL tries to have more current stuff running don't they? Especially for this long of a cruise. People will go see movies more, both because it will be a nice respit from the heat and because we will have more time on the ship.

We Want Star Wars! We Want Star Wars! Common, chant with me now!

We second that...they really need to give us Star Wars.

.........Found the blinky flip flops at our Walmart today..so if any of you in South Florida still need them, they had a good assortment of colors and sizes at the Cooper City Walmart on Flamingo and Griffin..check both sides of the racks..all the blinky flips were not together...they are all spread out.

[auntrenae]

I don't know if they will take us to any other hotel, you might want to call DCL about that. I'd hope so, but...

That's too bad!!!!! I can't believe that no one else got their documents today!!!!

And just for the record...we don't say eh!!!!! (well not that much anyway) :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Elaine

P.S. I'm not sure if UPS will just leave the box - my Mom had to sign for our documents.

Hi Elaine:

The UPS man showed up just as I got home. A package for my son. Then I get on the board and realize I should have held him hostage pirate: for my documents. If I'd only known.

Oh well, congrats on getting them first. We all envy you.

[Hygiene99]

I'm sitting here reading all of the posts, and the door bell rings. Outside, the brown UPS truck. I'm about to jump out of my skin. This is it!!!!! Our documents are here! We are recipients #2!! :cool1:

I open the box and inside is... :Pinkbounc

are you ready.... :bounce:

this is so cool.... :cheer2:

I'm so excited.... :banana:

Okay... One more post, then I'm going to look at moreBoolean Logic problems! :rotfl2:

DH called the cruislline this morning and found out the following moviesare tentatively scheduled to be showing on the Magic during our cruise.

No Star Wars, but that could change. We'll have to call back closer in. They have things like National Treasure, Pacifier, Ladder 49, Mary Poppins, Incredibiles, Pirates of the Carribean - stuff like that.

I was wondering if they would be showint Pirated the night of the POC Party! Wouldn't it be cool if they had a LATE showing (say after the deck party) and we could all go in our pirate garb!

pirate: YO-HO, YO-HO! A PIRATE'S LIFE FOR ME!!! pirate:

We Saw Ladder 49 at the PremEAR At Sea. LOL :wizard:

How exciting!!!! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :banana: :banana:

When I read that earlier today I immediately e-mailed my TA.... she checked with Cruise Planners...and they had not gotten them yet :(

But she is having them sent direct from Cruise Planners instead of sending them to her first.

So who will be #2!

P.S. For all you that said I had to buy drinks....I can only afford the ones at the Deck 9 drink station...remember we're Canadians and it costs us more to get a US dollar (well actually about $1.26 CDN for $1 US) !!!!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:


Congratulations Elaine! No docs here yet. It's after 8:00, so it looks like it will now be Monday.

[moocow35]

Is anyone besides us using DCL transfers to get to/from the ship? My DH called and found out that they will take us from Long Beach either to the LAX or DL after disembarking. It sounds less complicated to me than renting a car and worrying about traffic etc. in LA. It's going to be one heck of a party on those buses! We usually just drive out to the port, but this time we can't, or we'd have to go back out there to pick it up afterwards.
Renae


Renae, we are taking the DCL bus from the Port of L.A. to the Disneyland Hotel. I am renting a car at MCO (gulp) to drive to Ron Jon's on Friday. Hopefully all the luggage will fit :rotfl2:

Robin

[Mickey&JoshNut]

We Saw Ladder 49 at the PremEAR At Sea. LOL :wizard:

Peter by any chance were you on the 4 day Wonder cruise - November 28 - December 2, 2004??? We saw part of the Ladder 49 PremEAR (Mom & I started to fall asleep 'cause it was showing at 11pm)???

Elaine

[Janis]

Renae,

My DH and I are taking DCL transportation to the Grand Californian. One thing he insists on when we go to Disney is that he does not want to drive anywhere. He says that's the best part of the vacation!

What about "Ice Princess"?

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is a Touchstone picture and should be showing on our cruise. It would be great to have "Star Wars" but have they ever had a non-Disney released film on the ship?

[auntrenae]

Robin,
I'd worry about the luggage too! Since we just booked, I can use all the packing ideas anyone has... 4 7 day's, 1 4 day don't come near to telling me what I need for 14 days! I think I need a new garment bag... Help?
Renae

[auntrenae]

We'll look for you guys on the bus. We're staying at Paradise Pier. We try not to drive on vacation too, especially in LA! Scary!

We were on the Wonder on Easter and they had the PremEar at sea of Ice Princess at 3pm and Midnight on Nassau day. That was a little weird, but I guess a lot of people don't go into Nassau, so that's probably why. The other movies on board were Ladder 49, National Treasure, the Pacifier, the Incredibles, and a couple more we didn't see. A 4 day is sure short!
Renae

[Az Pirates]

Such a strange question, but . . . I know Minnie always wears the white, flowing, sparkley dress on Formal night for the pictures. But, what does she wear for Semi-Formal night? Is she out and around? I'm thinking that DD may wear the Minnie costume for semi-formal night -- I'd love a picture with them...

Az Pirates (Sheila), Does Cammie have a Minnie Mouse costume? Any other around 6 year old DDs (Kaylin?) have Minnie Mouse costume? What a marvelous picture that would be!??

I just started gathering some of Cammi's stuff together today. If anyone has enough clothes to pack away 14 days worth with more than enough left to wear now - it's her!

She does have a Minnie dress and shoes - I'll have to get them out and check the size though. I'm afraid they might be getting smallish.

We've never done the dress-up thing at the parks because I thought it would be too uncomfortable for our typical commando style touring. Might be really fun for dinner one night though.
She has a really beautiful princess dress too (Cinderella) but we will have to see how the luggage space is holding out as that one is pretty poofy!

So are other little ones bringing along Minnie or princess wear?
It would be a really great picture!


Now adding my chant to the rest:

We Want Star Wars!
We Really, Really Want Star Wars!

[Tink33]

While I would love to see Stars Wars, I am hoping to see the 2 part finale of LOST. I am hoping that it will be showing as it is an ABC show. Anyone else watch LOST?

[DisneyPinDiva]

What about "Ice Princess"?

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is a Touchstone picture and should be showing on our cruise. It would be great to have "Star Wars" but have they ever had a non-Disney released film on the ship?

You will be missing Star Wars Weekends at MGM so the very least they can do is show the movie onboard for all you SW freaks.. uh I mean fans!!! ;) They have deals with Speilberg so they can pull it off if they really want to I'm sure. If they're looking to occupy people on sea days... that sure would do it! :goodvibes
Kara is right.. that list of movies is what we had (minus Pacifier) on the Christmas cruise... let's hope they update a bit.

[DisneyPinDiva]

Renae: We are staying at Paradise Pier too!!!

I might have to look into the DCL transfers... what do they charge if you don't mind my asking... my TA never mentioned anything about transfers.. and in my excitement of booking I never asked!! I thought I read somewhere $59/person... which I thought was really high.

Any DVC members know if we get a discount on merchandise on the ship at all?? :confused3

Got my Disney Rewards card today... whooo hoooo! Now I just have to keep from using it for a month...:rotfl:

[meb51]

Do you know if DCL will take us to a hotel/motel that is across the street or close to DL?? Or just to one of the DL resorts??

We are also staying close to DL but not at a DL resort. I'm planning to call Supershuttle next week to find out about rates. I believe the rate from the hotel to LAX is $15 pp. I'll let you know what I find out about the rates from the port to the hotel. I think people posted this info a while ago but I've gone back and forth so many times about transportation in LA that I'm dizzzy. :crazy2:

Marie

[BethE]

While I would love to see Stars Wars, I am hoping to see the 2 part finale of LOST. I am hoping that it will be showing as it is an ABC show. Anyone else watch LOST?

YES!! I am totally addicted to it! Do you think there is any chance they would actually show it on the ship?

The movies mentioned for the cruise thus far do not impress me -- the only one I would bother to see is Ladder 49 -- I've seen most of them either on the December Mousefest cruise or on my own or I'm not interested.

I would join the chant for Star Wars, but I wonder if there is any hope at all for that, since it's not Disney.

Lost, on the other hand, I can hope for, since Disney does own the network....

Beth

[auntrenae]

Leslie,
It is $59, and we usually don't use it because we're so close, but for peace of mind in LA I'm willing to do it this time.

Anyone planning to watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition on Sunday nights and 'How'd they do that?' on Mondays? We LOVE those shows, but if w absolutely Have to, we can have our DS tape it for us... EMHE and HTDT were showing on ABC in our stateroom tv. I didn't see 'lost', but we weren't looking for it. I think they do most ABC programming that is remotely popular.

For all those princess mommies out there, there's a new show on the Castle forecourt at WDW called 'Cinderellabration' that has the most awesome princess gowns for the 'girls'! Tinkerbell's treasures in Fantasyland has matching (read $$$) ones for little princesses. If you don't want your little ones to know that, you're forewarned, but they are gorgeous! I'm grateful I don't have granddaughters yet, or my resistance to these would be nonexistent!
Soarin' has opened at Epcot, the new stunt show is open at the Studios, and the water rollercoaster has opened at Typhoon Lagoon. I haven't been on any of these yet, but we shall see if I get a chance before the 'training' vacuum pulls me into it's full time vortex.....aaaarrrrrrooooowwwwwwwwww! With a sailaway party at the end, I can do it!

Re: Super shuttle

I got a quote of $92.00 from the port to Disneyland area.
That was for dedicated service with no other stops and 6 people.
I'm sure it varies depending on how many in the group.
You can't book service from the port online.
The number they gave me to call for dedicated service was 1-800-BLUEVAN

Hope this might help someone a bit.

She does have a Minnie dress and shoes - I'll have to get them out and check the size though. I'm afraid they might be getting smallish.

Now adding my chant to the rest:

We Want Star Wars!
We Really, Really Want Star Wars!
Sheila,

I am bringing at least on Princess gown for Quincy. I agree that would be a really cute picture!!

[Q's My Princess]

While I would love to see Stars Wars, I am hoping to see the 2 part finale of LOST. I am hoping that it will be showing as it is an ABC show. Anyone else watch LOST?

DH & I love LOST!!! :cool1: :cool1:

We are sooooo bummed to miss the finale! Too bad we don't have Tivo! :guilty:

Amen to that. We have had it for almost 5 years now, and I don't know what we would do without it. We are clearing the drive before we leave so that there is plenty of room for everything to record.

My Brother in law gave us a 20gig model for Xmas a couple of years ago. Then we upgraded to a newer 40gig model about 6 months ago. Then we upgraded again to a 80gig model just last month (the price was right). So right now, we have 3 units running. Can you say "overkill". But at least we are going to give the 20gig model to a TiVo newby.

If you bring a blank -R DVD with you......I can burn you a copy of the show. I have the Tivo with DVD recording capabilities. :)

[danicaw]

Wow!
I have been out for a couple of weeks and the boards have been BUSY!
I tried to catch up but think I might have better luck, just trying to keep up from here on.
My Mom had surgery last week to remove an egg sized mass from behind her ear. So, I went down to help her when she came home from the hospital. We didn't know about the surgery until the day before it happened, it all went so fast. She is doing well now. Then the day I got back hubby was off to a conference. Ugh. Its been a nutty week. We are soo looking forward to this trip. And to hear that docs are coming ...YAHOOOOO!
I have been spending all my spare time ;) shopping for the trip, and I think should stop, or we will need bigger bags.
So, have you guys talked about vaccinations? Our health dept. says we should make sure our Tetanus and Hep A are updated. Has anyone heard anything different?
TiVo! Oh, how we love it.
We bought ours years ago and then last year when we realized how small it was compared to what was on the market now, hubby convinced me to let him void the warranty and hack into ours. So, he replaced the hard drive with one that never seems to get full (I can't tell you how many shows are on it right now, pages and pages). And now we can log into it from where ever we are and schedule things or delete things from it. Which comes in handy when we are on trips and realize we don't want 2 weeks worth of news or "Good Eats" waiting for us when we get back.
I like the idea of multiple TiVos. Hmmmmm, we will have to see if we have any money left after the cruise. ;)
Hey, anyone else see the lime green Mickey antenna balls at the Disney Store? I just can't pass up a new antenna ball. :cool1:

[bonzie1]

What about "Ice Princess"?

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is a Touchstone picture and should be showing on our cruise. It would be great to have "Star Wars" but have they ever had a non-Disney released film on the ship?

Bruce,

DH mentioned something about an Ice Skating film too... could that be it? I just copied the note he sent me at work into the post. At least with Ice Princess, there will be one new film!

I've been on 3 prior Disney cruises, and never watched a movie, so I'm not sure about non-Disney films being shown...

[bonzie1]

While I would love to see Stars Wars, I am hoping to see the 2 part finale of LOST. I am hoping that it will be showing as it is an ABC show. Anyone else watch LOST?


Yes! That's a Wednesday night "date" for DH + me! There will be a 2 part finale. We will be at sea for BOTH of them. I'm hoping my Mom will do the taping for us! (Now... I'd Rather be at sea! But I really don't want to miss these episodes!) :goodvibes

[bonzie1]

If you bring a blank -R DVD with you......I can burn you a copy of the show. I have the Tivo with DVD recording capabilities. :)

Serena... Could you possible make us a copy of the Lost finales too!!! I will gladly bring a R DVD!

Now I'm REALLY exposing my lack of knowledge of the world of gadgets! I just now had to ask DH,

"Hey DH... what is Tivo?" :confused3

He knew! (what guy wouldn't)! We don't have it... He's going to a computer show this morning with a friend... I the purchases aren't too high at the show... maybe, we'll start looking at Tivo!

Sure sounds lilke it would be nice to have.

[bonzie1]

Okay! I'm up early! Getting ready to leave for the test! Thanks for the well-wishes! :goodvibes

I'm off!

It looks like I could change my flight from LAX to Orange County (SNA). Should I do this? The times are the same, but the airplane configuration is different.

How far to Orange County airport from port? I'll request another limo price and see what comes back.

So, post away with comments about SNA vs. LAX. Thanks.

I really need to make a final decision on this and the transportation soon! I'm tired of thinking of it. :rolleyes1

Not exactly sure of distance, but I would guess it would only be an extra 10 or 15 miles more max. from the port to SNA than to LAX.
Given that choice I'd change in a heartbeat. But I REALLY HATE LAX. We always try to use John Wayne (SNA) or Bob Hope (BUR) in Burbank when we fly into LA.
Notice that LAX is the only one of the 3 without a celebrities name - probably because no one wants to be associated with it. ;)

SNA is about the same distance from the port as Disneyland they are within 15 minutes of each other. I love SNA compared to LAX, so much easier, rental car is in the garage next to terminal, and much better facilities as they are brand new.

Would take SNA over LAX any day. A word of caution to those flying out of SNA as the take-off is kind of weird. Due to noise abatement for Newport Beach, the jets go straight up blowing the engine noise back down to the airport. Once they reach Newport Beach they pull the engines back and fly level until they reach the coast. If you have never flown out of there it is a very wierd feeling the first time on take-off when the pilot cuts back the engines on a take-off as it is unexpected.

You all will not believe where I am. I'm at WORK! We were just notified yesterday afternoon that we have to work for the next 4 Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. I'm so hopping mad! That's every Saturday between now and the cruise.

We've already had a couple of people in our office RESIGN because of it. I might've resigned too if I hadn't just paid thousands of dollars for this cruise - ha ha ha!

Sadness for me. :guilty:

[Q's My Princess]

Anjela,

What do you do????? 4am - 8am????? Ugh! :sad2: :sad2:

[angelaj]

I work for a physician staffing firm. Business isn't so good right now, and it was our new owner's idea for all this Saturday stuff. UGH! No one is happy about it, to say the least!

We have to work 8 a.m. till 5 p.m. for the next 4 Saturdays.

I'm support staff, and my boss has asked upper management if support staff can be excused from further Saturdays and just require the commissioned people to come in. Keeping my fingers crossed!

[seaulater]

HAPPY SATURDAY MORNING TO ALL THE VERY FIRST DISNEY MAGIC EASTBOUND TO WESTBOUND CRUISERS!!!! ONLY FOUR MORE WEEKS!!!!

The Magic is in port, getting all spruced up for our arrival. They really have no idea what is going to hit them unless those CM's that check the boards have been spreading pre-cruise rumors about us! We'll see who gets the last laugh! :rotfl: :rotfl:

Jamie's 13th birthday today. Lots to do, up late last night and trying to get last minute stuff done for her surprise party with her 14 dance/singing buddies at Fat Jack's Pizza and Thunder Bowling for dinner and glow in the dark bowling. The bowling balls actually glow in the dark when you bowl. How cool is that?

Okay, now I am headed to the Scrapbook USA Expo to get any last minute new ideas for scrapbooking class.

I'll check in later. Have a great day everyone!!! ::MickeyMo

Linda

[seaulater]

Oh......Georgie you should be just about done with the test about now! When you get home take deep breaths...........................deep breaths...................I'm sure you did just fine! Pixie dust to you while waiting for the results.

Linda... I get exhausted just reading what you are always doing! I wonder if you ever just stop and sit... put your feet up and relax... or is that what the cruises are for?? :rotfl:
What on earth is a Scrapbook USA Expo? Do they actually have stores with all scrapbooking stuff? I only see it at Michaels... and a wee bit at Wal-Mart. I think I would go nuts in a whole store of stuff.... :crazy:

:bday: Jaime!!! Sounds like you have a great day planned for her! Please give her our best wishes!

I am also at work but can get away to this site every so often. It helps for sure.

Happy Birthday to Jammie, Glow in the dark bowling would be better if they made Blinkie Bowling shoes.

[first timers]

No documents
I live in the Disney "neighborhood" and Canada gets documents before we do! How does that work? UPS, beware your next delivery on our street, we may have to hold the truck for document ransom. Alex

[krdisneybound]

Geez, it sure is beautiful outside in Ft. Lauderdale today. Just took my grandbaby for a nice walk. She wears me out terribly. Wish I had her stamina. Came inside and made some Ambrosia for us and it was delicious and fresh...

Getting ready to watch Men's Bowling on ESPN. Then take a little nap before supper. Bobby Rubino's sounds real good right now.

Yep, no UPS on Saturday. Monday we will all get bombarded with documents.

How many days left, 27 - WOW - right around the corner. Anticipation is just killing me. :cloud9:

Hi Danicaw,

Welcome back. Glad to hear your mom came through surgery and is doing well.

Everything I've read indicated no vaccinations were required. I hope that is correct!

Wow, your husband sounds like he's very handy with computers, to be able to do that with your TIVO!

I haven't been to the Disney Store, so haven't seen the lime green antenna balls. Nor have I seen them on any cars around here.

Hi Beth,

I can make you a copy too. :) If anyone else would like a copy let me know. I'm also going to be taping a lot of other shows(I'm obsessed w/ TV). If there is anything else that you don't want to miss, let me know and I will tell you if I'm taping it or will have space to tape if for you. :O)

To answer your Tivo question,
The monthly fee for Tivo is 12.95/month(or $299 lifetime subsciption) any additional Tivo's in the same household are 6.95/month.

Thank you so much!

For $12.95 or $299, I guess I can live without TIVO for a while yet. I can see it would be a great convenience at times, but I mostly gave up TV when I got connected to the internet, so it wouldn't be cost effective for me. I watch about four shows a week and only Lost has me seriously hooked. Thanks again!

Kelly, Acupuncture is not that bad, both Lynn and I have used it. Mine was for work stress related, and it was rather plesant. Worked well for me and I would do it again when needed. Actually a DCL or any Disney vacation, or any vacation works wonders for me and stress levels.

[Serena6010]

Geez, Kelli, what were you doing to hurt your knee? Haven't we warned you enough times that you're getting too old to participate in the long jump? ;) ;)

But don't worry about the acupuncture -- I've had it and it didn't hurt (much). I have to say I enjoyed my pool therapy more, though. So maybe you should hold out for that. :earboy2:

Seriously, take it easy and get better quick!

We have a small world here in the Bay Area.

Kara, DH, Steve & Amy are all going to the Jimmy Buffet concert.

DH & I are on the same plane to Orlando as Steve & Amy.

Gotta love coincidence!! :wizard:

To all of you going to the concert tonight, I am really envious! We still have to wait 4½ months, but I'll be listening. Have a good time.

Don't forget to keep your "Fins Up!" "FINS TO THE LEFT" & "FINS TO THE RIGHT" :cool1:

Good day everyone :wave2: Four more weeks and I'm still doing last minute shopping online (Leslie, I'm right there with you in shopaholic-ville) :teeth:

I don't know if it will work, but it did for my order. Chadwicks sent me a 20% off code (cause they missed me :blush: ) The code expires May 26, 2005, and it is off any regular priced merchandise online. The code is: 2151-05284-066 just put this in when you are checking out.

Georgie, I've been thinking good thoughts for you all morning. Let us know how it all went. (Mickey bars are always good comfort food :mickeybar , you deserve one)

I'm off to get a couple boxes for mailing, I hope to do that next week sometime?

Have a great day everyone!

With all of our luggage and extras we are taking with us, the ship is bound to sit in the water a little lower. Wouldn't ya' think? :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Anyone on deck 1 might have an under water view!

[JenKatt]

For all those Saturday workers, I'm in there too... Jeff works weekends at the mouse so I'd rather be home during the week. I'm off next weekend since my best friend is going to be down here but other than that every weekend between now and the cruise is work.

If anyone is still looking for shorts, Victoria's Secret has a ton of shorts right now. I did a quick look online and they have all sorts of lengths...

I am NOT doing the wetsuit!! Everytime I put one on I feel like a beached whale! In spandex, no less!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

:rotfl2:Yeah.. I have a feeling that's what it will be like. Never had one before.... but I am a wimp in cold water and the west coast water is a LOT colder than our gulf stream warmed ocean!! Even Castaway Cay water will not be as warm in May as it is later in the summer. :cold: I don't want to miss out on the snorkeling adventures so Moby Leslie it will be!! :rotfl2: A new species... the great PINK killer whale! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

:cool1: :wave2: I'M BACK... THE TEST IS OVER :wave2: :cool1:

I got back around 3:00! I can never thank ALL of you enough for your prayers and thoughts :goodvibes

I KNOW that's the reason I didn't get unnerved by the whole thing. I've never been a good test taker, and get flustered and sometimes "shut down" before I can finish. At least I can say given the nature of the test, I did my best. :flower: I only wish I had more time.

The test was unnecessarily hard. It would have been almost a fun challenge, if we weren't under the gun to finish. The one guy next to me kept turning the pages back and forth, and back and forth, noisy rustle, noisy rustle. I wanted to reach over, grab his book, and whack him on the top of his head! :rotfl: (We sat FACING EACH OTHER at a round table... CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!)

:idea: Hey, Hygiene99, now that I've taken this exam... maybe I can write up some of the scavengert hunt clues using the same principles. :laughing: :rotfl2: That would keep all of us going for DAYS!!! ;) At any rate...

:jumping1: YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST. :jumping1: :laughing:
I could really feel the support while in the test. Right now, I'm feeling overwhelmed at the amount of support you've all given me. :grouphug:

After the test, DH took me out for a late lunch and then ice cream at Cold Stone! :love2: I got a Berry, Berry, Berry Good... the next best thing to a Mickey Bar! :mickeybar

Thanks for helping me get through this time!!

:boat: NOW... ON WITH THE CRUISE PREPARATIONS! YIPEE!!! :Pinkbounc

[bonzie1]

You all will not believe where I am. I'm at WORK! We were just notified yesterday afternoon that we have to work for the next 4 Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. I'm so hopping mad! That's every Saturday between now and the cruise.

We've already had a couple of people in our office RESIGN because of it. I might've resigned too if I hadn't just paid thousands of dollars for this cruise - ha ha ha!

Sadness for me. :guilty:

How unfair that is. That's such a long day, especially for a Saturday... AND not to get any compensation for it :sad2:

I'm hoping you can fill your thoughts with GOOD things while you are there... like this upcoming TRIP! :banana:

[bonzie1]

Hey Kay and Bill!

Are your gutters clean yet? :rotfl2:

[angelaj]

Congrats on getting through your test, Georgie! I'm sure you did well, and now you can breathe a sigh of relief that it's over. Yay for you!

:cheer2:

[videogal1]

At least I've started packing already. She hasn't even begun yet! :earseek:

I laid out little piles of daytime outfits on the bed yesterday then took a good look and packed them...Suitcase full. Now all I have to do is pack my formal stuff, the stuff thee seamstress is finishing, and the things for Cash and I'm done....Mailed a package off to my Mom for the California part of the trip today. Now for a nap.


Come on Georgie.....you can do it!

[BobandLee]

Yes, Georgie. Congrats! I am sure that you did quite well. Especially with Mr. George Boole's algebraic theorems. :)
Now, deep breath.....relax.

[krdisneybound]

Hey Kay and Bill!
Are your gutters clean yet? :rotfl2:

Mine are clean, he has been playing around and neglecting everything. I'm gonna tell on him, if he doesn't get his ducks in a row. :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

He is lagging behind.

[Q's My Princess]

Does anyone have a current coupon code for Zazzle. The old one expired 4/13/05. Thanks! :sunny:

[DisneyPinDiva]

Okay.. as I've said before... I've lost my list of lists.... and I can't keep track of anything.... :crazy:
Who is doing the Bounty Adventure in Curacao??? Has anyone booked online? Will they pick us up at the Ship? Can someone send me the link .. I think we are definately going to do this now that we can't do the Papagayo whitewater rafting in Acapulco.:sad2: Anyone who might have been waiting for that... I got an email from the public relations director of that tour since I was going to book online directly... she said they will not be doing any rafting tours in May because of the low level of the river. :worried: Guess we'll go see the divers after all... :rolleyes2

Georgie... glad to see you made it thru the test. I'm sure you did fine... we have faith in you!! That berry berry berry good ice cream sounds BERRY GOOD! :rotfl2:

Leslie,

We are doing the Bounty Adventure. Also, Serena & family, Amy & Steve and maybe Sandra & family.

I booked online and Capt. Perry emailed me back that they would pick us up at 9:15am in front of the security gate.

Come join us...it will be fun!1 :sunny: :sunny:

[kellib36]

Geez, Kelli, what were you doing to hurt your knee? Haven't we warned you enough times that you're getting too old to participate in the long jump? ;) ;) Beth

I was thinking I should have kept my mouth shut......hoping no one "in the know" would ask that question!! :rolleyes: Actually, this is the 3rd and most serious swelling since Feb---but no bruises, and no pics worth posting on the web this time!! I DID NOT HURT MYSELF THIS YEAR, but my knee is wanting to prove me wrong!!

Thanks for the opinions on acupuncture, I'm not completely averse to the idea, but Bill Engvall's latest CD is still fresh in my mind. If she sticks a cotton ball on the needles and lights them on fire, I'm oughtta there!!! :earseek:

pirate: Heading down to Whole Foods for a class on making sauerbrauten soon. That's why I was babying it all day, gotta choose my battles......

Kelli

[Scott H]

Kelli,
Acupuncture is great, I used to have chronic head aches, the acupuncture cured me of them, you don't feel the needles after they are put in, and it is a very relaxing session. I come out feeling very relaxed.

[Mickey&JoshNut]

Serena - thanks for the link to the finales - I'm glad to see that the Amazing Race will finish before we leave.

Georgie - I'm glad your test is done and I'm sure you did great. I know what you mean about that guy disturbing you - when I was writing my professional accounting exams I had a guy beside me that kept sighing and it was driving me nuts - but then again I probably drove people nuts when mid way through our 4 hour exam I stopped and had a chocolate bar and a pop - I needed to rest my hands from all the writing because I suffer from arthritis - just 10 - 15 minutes was all I needed but I did get some pretty strange stares - I didn't care - I passed my exam and I know you will too!!!

Just think everyone at this time in 4 weeks the horn will be sounding and we'll be starting our adventure....I can't wait to meet everyone.

Thanks Jeff & Jen for updating the masterlist with the pictures - now to remember what everyone looks like!!!!

Elaine

[kellib36]

Lynda, Saw I Scion at the PO this am. The lady waiting in the passenger seat looked like she wanted to duck down when I was looking at that monstrosity!! :wave: I can definitely see Cash hanging out there! ::yes::

Georgie, VERY happy you made it out alive....that rustling-papers guy was a plant to confuse you! Cold Stone is a VERY close 2nd to :mickeybars....and the berries are wonderful!!! Sinless sweet cream with strawberries, blueberries and raspberries for me!!! (Unless I intend to be REALLY bad, then its coffee lovers!!! And don't forget the black forest chocolate cherry one!)

Glad our closest is in Fort Collins--oh wait, that's where Whole Foods is too.....maybe dessert for the road home....

Kelli :wave2:

Yes, it is my goal to re-arrange all my excursions and get that done early next week. I am doing to cancel my day room at the Hilton and do the Bounty Adventures and the Sea Aquarium. I'm going to cancel the DCL cliff diver thing and do it on my own. And, I can't remember what I booked for Cabo, but my DH is thinking of just hanging at Cabo Wabo!

[Mickey&JoshNut]

Hi Jen (JenKatt)

I just noticed under you user name it says you're an Itty Bitty Baby Nurse - one of my good friends is a neonatal nurse at our local Children's Hospital.
