[tinksdad]

But I'm pretty sure they know NOW!

Know what?????

























hey, who pushed me?? :rotfl2:

[tinksdad]

Mary, we made that big an impression on you that you don't think you met us yet?!!!! :rotfl2: OK, I know it was only for a few minutes at Project X, but I thought that counted!!! :lmao:
She's old, you'll have to remember that...........









Wait,

What was I doing????? :rotfl2:

[Mikem861]

Might that be from one of those fine schools in Michigan?
Ahh..unfortunately not! He is graduating with a degree in accounting from DeVry University...in Columbus OH!! He is a U of M fan though :teeth:

[ohiominnie]

Ahh..unfortunately not! He is graduating with a degree in accounting from DeVry University...in Columbus OH!! He is a U of M fan though :teeth:


WHAT????????????? He stayed around here long enough to GRADUATE?

We didn't run him out of town yet? Someone is slacking!!!!

DeVry is not in my zone for intimidation of U of M fans...it's too far east for me. But I'll call one of my colleagues and he'll get right on it!

[ohiominnie]

She's old, you'll have to remember that...........

:rotfl2:

I think this :duck: :duck: :duck: :duck: is a much more appropriate smile for you. YOU are in BIG trouble when Mary logs on and sees your post!!!!

[Mikem861]

You cruised with me then too.....but we never really bumped into each other much on the DVC cruise. We did share a nice bus ride from Port Everglades back to Port Canaveral, thank you very much, Ophelia!!!!!

Oh Yea..how could I forget that bus ride :rolleyes1 At least our bus had the box lunches :sunny:

[tinksdad]

don't call mr. scuba a moron! he can't help it....he's from that state! :lmao:
Aren't you the one that doesn't like water??? :scratchin :stir:

[Mikem861]

WHAT????????????? He stayed around here long enough to GRADUATE?

DeVry is not in my zone for intimidation of U of M fans...it's too far east for me. But I'll call one of my colleagues and he'll get right on it!

He LOVES to live dangerously...he goes to parties and wears his MICHIGAN hat during football season..!! Believe it or not, he is even going to live there after graduation!! We were just down to see him for his 21st B-day last weekend!!

[tinksdad]

I think this :duck: :duck: :duck: :duck: is a much more appropriate smile for you. YOU are in BIG trouble when Mary logs on and sees your post!!!!
Yep, been there, done that!!


Must be feeling ornery this afternoon. Kinda like you!! :rotfl:

[Mikem861]

Now THERE's an oxymoron!!! :stir:

I'm gonna let that one slide for now :lmao:

and get a TOP while I am at it :teeth:

[WDWLVR]

Oh Yea..how could I forget that bus ride :rolleyes1 At least our bus had the box lunches :sunny:

So you didn't have Dan, because Dan likes a clean bus!

[WDWLVR]

She's old, you'll have to remember that...........









Wait,

What was I doing????? :rotfl2:

I may be old but I'm not dead! BTW the web page has been updated and put up.

[WDWLVR]

Web page update!Something I've been wanting to do for a while but just haven't had the time. I've added deck plans to the web page. Pick a deck and when you click on it then the deck plan will pop up. All the DIS rooms have been colored lime green. Enjoy!

I'm impressed. I didn't think anyone graduated from Ohio. :lmao:

[dzneprincess]

I didn't take any pictures ... sort of wish I had. There is clean-up progress being made. I didn't see much rebuilding going on yet. There are lots of gutted houses & businesses. As Irene has said about FL, I think the problem now is getting workers to actually do the work to rebuild & repair.

Someone sent me this website. It is from the Biloxi, MS newspaper. Some of the after pictures looked exactly as what we saw this weekend... so not much has changed.

http://www.sunherald.com/mld/sunherald/news/special_packages/renewal/before_after/

I'll have to see if I can find a website that has the same sort of thing for LA.

Thanks you for this. I know Biloxi fairly well and to see these things is just.....WOW I dont even have the words.

[scuba diver]

It's only been over 9 years, 158,000 miles, and many dives trip....but today the dive van got traded in. It's a big day for us, we are without a minivan. :cool1:


I ended up getting the Honda Pilot because it can haul all our dive gear.

It was hard getting rid of the van, but once the head liner started falling down on Sharon I knew it was time.

Love my Pilot and hope I can say that in another 9 years, 150,000 miles later.

[dzneprincess]

Hi there! I'm new to this group, but admittedly have been lurking on and off for awhile! It is intimidating for me to jump right in since you all already have well over 1000 pages to this thread!!! :eek:

I'll start off by introducing the fam:
We have my DH Paul :goodvibes , DS1 Adam (15) :music: , and DS2(13):thumbsup2 , as well as myself, Susan :wave: . We live in CT where it is 33 degrees and are looking forward to the May 27th cruise which will be our 2nd DCL cruise.

We have 6pm dining rotation and are linked with MIL & FIL and another family (friends of ours).

We look forward to meeting new friends, so please ask questions and I'd love to know more about all of you---w/o reading every page!!! :surfweb:

susan

Welcome Susan!
Now we have 2 Karens and two Susan's! We are starting a collection......:teeth:

[dzneprincess]

Hi Susan! WELCOME!!

My name is Shiann...I am a "lurker" (too!). I'm wading, ever so slowly, into the tide of chatter...'bout up to my knees! :rotfl2: This is a great bunch of folks (oh, I'm from the south...we talk like that)!! :crazy2:

I have Dd Savana (14), Ds Kace (10) and Dh2b Roy. This will be Roy's first cruise and our second.

I look forward to hearing more about you and your family!

Shiann,
Question please... how do you pronouce your DS 10 name? Is it like K.C or is it like case?? Also, I love your name but I find myself reading it as "she-ann" fow whatever reason! LOL then it dawned on me that it is probably like the city, Cheyenne, right? I am a doofus....:teeth:

[Mikem861]

I'm impressed. I didn't think anyone graduated from Ohio. :lmao:

It takes someone from MICHIGAN!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: I can feel the :furious: now! :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[armyfam]

Hello again!

I can't believe in all of my excitement to introduce the family...I missed my DS2's NAME!!!! Please forgive me, DOMENIC!!!!! :worship:

Thank you all for making us feel welcome. My whole family got a real kick out of reading all of the replies with me!! :scratchin :rotfl: :rotfl2:

Just so you know, both of the boys are on the handsome side--i'll have to send a photo to the webpage.

Adam has a question for tinksdad: "How many other 15 y/o guys get asked that question????!!!" :smooth:

Someone asked what part of CT---we live on the Shoreline....just off the interstate.

We can't wait to meet all of you too! party:

Welcome Susan and your family! Be sure and check out Mary's website. We will have an order form up in a few days to order shirts and excursion bags. My son is also 15 and I have a daughter 11.

Good analogy on the short track. You're right. Got me a little dizzy, too.

Jim - congrats on the new car, er dive vehicle. Will it still work as a shuttle on cruise morning?

Kace...like case. I understand the She-ann..I've worked at the same place for over 18 yrs..the guard has ALWAYS called me that. But it is like Cheyenne... You are NOT a dofus! You would have to know my Mom :crazy2: ...my sister's name is Shazan (NOT Shazam!).

Welcome to Susan from the other Susan. We are also a military family. However, we're Air Force. No competition like the Michigan/Ohio State crew. We'll keep it nice.

[DVCcruise]

Love the updates to the webpage. Seeing the rooms in DIS green is so cool. :cool1:

:banana: Cruise is paid off :banana: Well it's on the Discover waiting to be paid off. I'm ready to book excursions on Sunday. And, no I'm not getting up in the middle of the night to do it!




Stacey, what are those times that you booked for snorkeling at Castaway Cay? I want to book on of those. Probably the first day is better for us. .

[BWVPam]

Maybe this will be a top!

We booked the afternoon snorkel on the first CC day, because we figured the kids would not want to get up early their first morning on the ship. And I booked the morning snorkel on our 2nd CC stop, just for Jay & I...no kids.

You know guys, it takes me an hour to read just four pages on this little Treo.....can we PLEASE keep the chatter down to a minimum?? I really am trying to stay caught up by reading at night in bed....but I keep dozing off. Not that y'all are boring......

[justmestace]

Welcome "new" Susan and family. I'm Stacey, & cruising with me is my DH, Jay, daughter Jordan who turns 16 in May, son Jared, almost 13 at cruise time, and Jordan's friend Amber, 15.

Mary, will take a look at your site tomorrow, can't keep my eyes open, but it sounds pretty cool.

Congrats on the new car Jim & Sharon!

Oh....btw....Diana DID twist my arm to come on this cruise.......and if you believe that, I've got some oceanfront property in AZ that I'll sell ya.
Weather has been beautiful here...but supposed to get cold again by Sunday, when I leave. Maybe it was me who brought the nice warm weather? And the luck to the Powerball winners. Ha. If I had that kind of power, I'd win the Lotto myself. Take care everyone.....I miss chatting!!!

[scuba diver]

Congratulations!! Now you can say your pilot uses GPS!!

Are you getting a new plastic dive bin too??

New plastic dive buckets would be way to exciting. The old one fits fine, but I'm sure there will be some upgrading happening.

Your DS needs to go back a few pages to see what 15 & 16 year old female DISers will be traveling with him.

Kevin & Stacey, it might be time to break out the GPS bracelets. Matt is a little older now. :rotfl:

I'll keep my post short so you don't have to scroll to much on your hand held. :hug:























Have a good day Stacey. :hyper:

[TiggerInNY]

Good morning all. I've been up since 5:00am which is better than waking up at 1:00am, I guess. I was at my brother's yesterday, it was his birthday and found out that they are going on a cruise next week. They leave on March 5 out of Tampa on RC's Legend of the Sea. They have a stop in Cozumel. I was hoping to get some first-hand info about the island, but when brother found out you had to tender, he wasn't too keen on the idea. I will speak to him again and try to pursuade him to go. They are also stopping at Costa Maya. Anyone have any questions for him or things to check out? This is his and SIL's first cruise. They are very excited especially after I showed them a picture of the Jr. suite that they have booked. They are going with another couple who have 7 cruises under their belts who actually booked the cruise for them. I'm curious to see HOW much they LOVE it.

Gotta go and make DH his lunch.

When is the maiden voyage scheduled?

Will a bottle of Banfi be ceremoniously be dangled, but not smashed, on its hood?

[chip&dale&fun]

Must dash - must take Cat to the vets.....wonderful, the day before we leave, so must board cat if medication is needed.

Oh well, the joys of pet ownership...

No... Ray is cooking tonight... we had dinner out with friends from Boston on Monday night and in Jacksonville on Tuesday night... so a good home-cooked meal is in order.

Went to a great place Tuesday night though... new in this part of the country, but I know other places have them... Ted's Montana Grill... mostly buffalo on the menu.... YUM!!!!! The buffalo pot roast was incredible!

missed it last night. too pooped from so many days of staying up late. hit the sack early last night. had to save myself for skating tonight. :)

Kace...like case. I understand the She-ann..I've worked at the same place for over 18 yrs..the guard has ALWAYS called me that. But it is like Cheyenne... You are NOT a dofus! You would have to know my Mom :crazy2: ...my sister's name is Shazan (NOT Shazam!).

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought "she-ann" too....

but that's probably b/c of Survivor a couple seasons ago had a "she-ann"

smack me if i pronounce it wrong on the cruise!

Cool, an unexpected TOP shared with Kace, Shiann, her mom, and Shazan!

[TiggerInNY]

Kevin - the fish you have in your siggy, is that a trigger fish? Really neat no matter what it is. Just curious.

[CajunGirl2]

Hey Laura & Julia,

When y'all drive down to the port, do you go through Jacksonville or stay on 75 to the turnpike? I'm trying to decide what to do. If we don't leave until after Emily gets out of school on that Fri., I can't see us driving all the way to the port that night & was thinking that staying in JAX area would be an option. If we do leave earlier, we'd probably ask my sister to stay with them so that we could have a brief visit (beside, it's looking like a lot of places at the port are already booked up).

Same family as the trigger. A white spotted Filefish. This one was striking in its color and spot definition. Thanks, I thought it was cool too!

[Mikem861]

Good morning everyone!! :sunny:

I was wondering...how many are planning on doing a Palo's brunch? On our first 7 day cruise, We had a group of DIS'ers who all had brunch together in the private dining room in Palo's. I'm not sure how it was arranged..I know we gave our cabin number to a lady from the group and she set it up. Does anyone think that is a good idea?? If so..does anyone know how to set it up??

Mike :earsboy:

[Dancind]

Shiann, you have missed this explanation. But our daughter goes to a Performing Arts HS. The "eligible" girls outnumber the "eligible" boys by about four to one. So she is really, really looking forward to this cruise. As her parents, we are looking forward to this cruise with some trepidation.

The picture is way back on page 1825. Blabbermouths, remember?

Hi Stacey! Hope you're staying warm in NE! Good job on the lottery!

[Dancind]

:cheer2: party: :bday: Kiki!!! :rockband: :woohoo:

[CajunGirl2]

Where is everyone today? Our celebrating Kiki's b-day? Or honoring Stacey's request not to be too chatty? Thought I'd have a few posts to read after lunch. Anyway, hope everyone is having a good day!

Ang

[goingthedistance]

Greetings everyone :wave: ,

I do not know if there is any way that I can keep up with a 27500+ post thread, but I will give it a try!

I wanted to stop in and join the thread and hopefully get to know some of the people who we will be sailing with on the May 27 Double Dip! On the cruise it will be my wife (Beckie - not on the DIS) and myself.

We did the Wonder in January 2001 on our honeymoon, but we were unable to dock at CC because of weather :sad: . I am excited about the double dip, this way we can finally (5+ years later) make it to CC.

Paul

[BWVPam]

Welcome Paul -- We are almost neighbors. Live in El Paso Texas. There is another family here on this thread from Albuquerque as well. Check out this site www.monorailgreen.info (http://www.monorailgreen.info). Mark and Mary have this wonderful website where they are keeping track of everything for us. We will have some custom buttons that Mark and Mary are making, and T-shirts and Excursion Bags we are ordering special for our cruise.

[tinksdad]

Wow!! :welcome: We ARE neighbors!! and you're from Albuquerque??? :thumbsup2 How can this happen :lmao: ???

You don't scuba dive do you??



Jump on in and have a ball!!


A TOP with the new guy Paul!!

Ang

It's easier to go through Jacksonville. The hardest part of the trip is usually getting south of Atlanta -- then we feel like we're "on our way!!" I believe the mileage from our home to the port is 530 - so your's should be comparable.

[dobelover]

I din't realize it had been that cold in Ohio. Don't hurt yourself skating tonight. :rotfl:

Ang

Our November cruise was fun, but as you said different. We were not as chatty as this group. But we had a group that went through Katrina, Rita and Wilma, so we all supported each other.

We ordered green neon bracelets and it was quite fun to see each other at the port.

There was lots of chat about DD and DS and the kids programs....I think we all talked each other into buying new formal wear!!!!!

It was great fun bumping into each other at events on board....

Hi Paul & Becky! I'm the better half of the couple from Albuquerque. We are cruising with our 15 year old daughter. So, newlyweds, huh?

[ljml]

Hi-I am Linda from Iowa. I have been reading this thread for approximately 2 months and decided to take the plunge and join in. I have 2 children, DS-John almost 8, and DD-Meighan age 6. I am looking forward to my first official vacation in 10 years-in addition to my first cruise experience ever!! :thumbsup2 I don't have any questions yet-the DIS is a great place to obtain information, and I have learned lots. I wish everyone a great rest of the day!!

[chip&dale&fun]

Greetings everyone :wave: ,

I do not know if there is any way that I can keep up with a 27500+ post thread, but I will give it a try!

I wanted to stop in and join the thread and hopefully get to know some of the people who we will be sailing with on the May 27 Double Dip! On the cruise it will be my wife (Beckie - not on the DIS) and myself.

We did the Wonder in January 2001 on our honeymoon, but we were unable to dock at CC because of weather :sad: . I am excited about the double dip, this way we can finally (5+ years later) make it to CC.

Paul


YEAH!!!! Another one joins the group - Welcome......

We did the 4 day in January 2005 - now we are hooked on DL!

The car went in for service yesterday. When I picked it up last night, I noticed that the antanne Mickey had it's ears glued back on. The shop apparently saw Mickey needed fixing, and they did so....


Nice... :earsboy:

:welcome: Paul! We're really looking forward to CC too! On our previous Magic cruise, we did make it into port, on the 3rd and final try; but the day was so windy that all the excursions were cancelled. Even with "nothing to do" it was GREAT!!



:welcome: Linda! You could not have picked a better cruise line for your first cruise experience!! :woohoo:

[ohiominnie]

Where is everyone today? Our celebrating Kiki's b-day? Or honoring Stacey's request not to be too chatty? Thought I'd have a few posts to read after lunch. Anyway, hope everyone is having a good day!

Ang

Sure...if celebrating Kiki's birthday involves an appointment with my ob/gyn!! :lmao:
and piano lessons.
and a trip to Graeters for ice cream....mmmmm

Stopped by the optometrist to see if my glasses were ready yet (I'm becoming blind as a bat and NEED my new glasses) They said "sure, we just need to check them in....have a seat." So I wait 15 minutes and another lady walks by and says "we're almost done checking your dh's glasses, should just be a few mintues...and, btw, yours weren't in yet."

DUH. Why would I want to take dh's home?

So I said "don't they need to fit him to make sure the ear pieces are bent right?"

"yeah"

"duh"

So I left, glassess-less.

P.S. Linda, I spent a week in Iowa once. LOVED IT there!!! I was near Cedar Rapids visiting my sister after she had her second baby. And I'm SOOO proud of him....he was the LAST baby born in Cedar Rapids in 1989. Cool, HUH? :lmao:

Speaking of the test....

I've thought of this on several occasions. Wouldn't it be fun to have a "pop-quiz" on obscure facts that you have learned about the ppl on this thread?

And the winner gets free dinner at Lumiere's or something???

Ok, Ok, the winner gets *some* token to show they have good memories (or spend way too much time on the DIS!)

They had one for the member cruise....and it was kinda fun hunting down ppl getting information.

Although they'd have to be obscure...things that ppl may or may not remember you sharing. They couldn't be easy like "who meets men from the DIS in Vegas?" and "who is referred to as HH?"

Hmmm.....hmmmm....anyone interested? I'll put it together.

[kikipug]

Nope... though my day wasn't any more interesting... certainly wasn't 'celebrating'...

My boss has just opened a new business... high end (read HIGH DOLLAR) deep sea fishing tackle... retail shop just opened this week, and we're in the process of shooting the pics for the online store... I am the default Marketing Director for the new business as well, and, (no)thanks to past experience, am handing the inventory coordination in the computer, and the retail merchandising. Wouldn't you know it, a few days in, the guy running the store (and the only other person who knows the computer) is sick as a dog... so guess who THAT leaves to run the computer and keep the place functioning... Happy Birthday to Me! I have spent most of my 'work' hours there for the past 3 weeks (its 2 buildings down from my office)... so I have gotten very little of my 'real' work done... and today was no different.

(Can't DIS from there either... which is why my post count is dropping like a lead sinker.)

[ohiominnie]

Yeah, I really hope Sasha wins! I like her, she's so musical and dancerly (ok, not a word) when she's skating.

Mike turned on the radio on his way home from work and they cut from weather RIGHT TO the results of Olympic figure skating without warning. So he knows.....but won't tell me. He's heard results of several different big things the same way. I keep telling him to listen to CD's or his iPod and NOT the radio during the Olympics...
but does he listen???? Nooooooooooooooooooooooo

[ohiominnie]

Yeah, I really hope Sasha wins! I like her, she's so musical and dancerly (ok, not a word) when she's skating.

not a word, but I LIKE it!! "dancerly"....has a ring to it.

yes. she is grace and beauty. Not just athletic-ly ;)

[armyfam]

I was wondering...how many are planning on doing a Palo's brunch? On our first 7 day cruise, We had a group of DIS'ers who all had brunch together in the private dining room in Palo's. I'm not sure how it was arranged..I know we gave our cabin number to a lady from the group and she set it up. Does anyone think that is a good idea?? If so..does anyone know how to set it up??

Mike :earsboy:


Hi Mike!

I forgot to answer your note...
My husband and I were thinking about going to Palo for brunch...what morning did you have in mind? (We're hoping to get Palo dinner reservations on Tuesday pm.)

Who else is up for brunch??? party:

We have my DH Paul :goodvibes , DS1 Adam (15) :music: , and DS2(13):thumbsup2 , as well as myself, Susan :wave: . We live in CT where it is 33 degrees and are looking forward to the May 27th cruise which will be our 2nd DCL cruise.

We have 6pm dining rotation and are linked with MIL & FIL and another family (friends of ours).

We look forward to meeting new friends, so please ask questions and I'd love to know more about all of you---w/o reading every page!!! :surfweb:

Hi Susan!

Well, I guess we are going to go whichever day we can get it for. Since there are only 2 sea days..it might be hard to book. We will know on Sun! :)
We haven't really decided on what day to do the dinner..it will probably depend on when we get the brunch. I do like the idea of dinner on Tue night since it is formal night anyway. So if it works out OK, I guess Thurs would be best for brunch. There will be my wife and I and our daughter for both occasions. :goodvibes

[BWVPam]

WELCOME, WELCOME all of our new people. Seems like it is a busy day with our new folks coming on.

I have a little shirt/bag update -- We should have the order form in by early next week. I have been in training the last two days at work, but have touched bases with the vendor and she is making some changes we requested.

Also, instead of the flat $10 shipping, it is now going to be based on actual costs. I was concerned because we had some people just ordering shirts and others just ordering bags. I hated for the people just ordering shirts to pay $10. Unfortunately, we won't know the actual costs until the packaging is done and weighed and it depends on what zone it will go to. It may be a few dollars less then $10 or it may be a couple $$ more than 10.

We have also changed the deadline date to April 7. I want to have time to get all the orders and go through them to make sure nothing is missing before turning them over to the vendor. Because we can't fit anymore onto the form, if you are having your shirts embroidered, you will need to attach a sheet and print out your name/size for each shirt you want embroidered.

Okay -- any questions, please let me know. I will try to check in this weekend, but it will be very busy with the kids. We have a jazz festival for the older son on Saturday and Ashley has her season swim championships this weekend.

[goingthedistance]

It truly is a small, small world. (lets all sing together...it's a small world after all.... :rockband: )

OK enough of that! It is nice to see that some other people from Albuquerque will be on the cruise.

Kevin, I do not scuba dive unfortunately. I am a distance runner (marathons, 1/2 marathons, etc.), and I am considering taking my running shoes and getting a run in at CC. That could be a lot of fun. I am wondering when (if) I will even find the time to do any snorkeling during the cruise.

We have not decided yet on our excursions/spa treatments. Any recommendations?

We have a DD who is almost 2, but she will not be going on this cruise with us. My in-laws will be taking her to WDW for the week that we are on the cruise. It will be very hard to leave her behind, but I figure that give me the excuse to rebook for another cruise next year!

If I can ever figure out how to post pictures, I will post a picture of my DD. :badpc:

Thanks everyone for the welcomes!

Paul

[McFamily2]

Okay, PIF and 90 days is coming up. Can :banana:

Are the "Ages" on the online excursion booking suggestions or rules? We want to do the dolphin excursion at CM but DS is 4 and the age is 5. (Also have DD7 and DD8)

Same question for CC excursion that includes bike rental. DS4 can ride well with training wheels and won't be happy in a seat behind me.

Mostly plan on doing absolutely nothing on whatever beach we happen to be on but would like to do the above and a little snorkeling.

Always open to suggestions.

Paul, there is no reason why you can do both, scuba and running. I'm just starting the distance running so I am not in your league. I'm hoping to run the Disney 1/2 marathon in January. Possibly the marathon next year.

I've been thinking about a run at CC too, but is it possible to find a place to run that is not full of people?

By all means, bring your shoes. There is always deck 4.

BTW - I just got my new Garmin FR 205.

WELCOME all new our new cruisers. Can't wait to meet y'all. Let me introduce myself & family. I'm Maria, DH-Augie, DS-AJ(10), DS-Anthony(6). We're from NY and this is our first DCL cruise. We are so looking forward to it.

Please don't be intimidated by our post #s. Most of it is fluff. As you can see, it is getting to be mostly cruise related now. Don't forget, if you're interested in getting a T-shirt or bag to check out Mary's (WDWLVR) website for all the info.

Carry on people....

[TiggerInNY]

Cruise question!!

Is it true that Costa Maya has a Dolphin experience? I think I saw someone mention that. Would that be through Disney or privately? Since Coz is up in the air, that would be great.

Between the Stingray encounter past adult beach and down the shellrock road - but it is not a long distance.

[chip&dale&fun]

Very tired this morning as I was up watching the skating - so sorry to see the falls of everyone, not jst the favourites. But the winner was splendid....I will not about to try to post her name - And Japan has a medal - how wonderful for her as well.

Now that it is over, I will tell - I was rooting for little Kimmie......she seemed so "on" in the short program.

Good morning cruisers!http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_9_10.gif


Happy Friday!




McFamily - ages for DCL excursions are firm. They won't go below them. Sorry.

Paul - if you want you can send me the picture of your family along with the rest of your information and I'll add it to the photo gallery on our web page. My e-mail address is marygums@monorailgreen.info The web page can be found by clicking in the link in my signature below. Please put May cruise or 5/27 in the subject line. I'm doing a page for our October cruise as well and need to know which cruise you are on!

If anyone hasn't pm'd about buttons and the mini-navigator there is still time but the earlier we get it done the better. Makes production go faster if we can do most of them at once. Thanks!

As Mary beat me to it above - DCL's age limits are firm, While you can sometimes make the same arrangements directly with a vendor - if it is through DCL they will not allow you to go if you are under the age, and since they have your information - no way to let it slip by.....

Sorry.....

I am a distance runner (marathons, 1/2 marathons, etc.), and I am considering taking my running shoes and getting a run in at CC. That could be a lot of fun. I am wondering when (if) I will even find the time to do any snorkeling during the cruise.
Paul

Hi Paul! You & my DH Bruce may get along. He's a runner too. He has done 1/2 marathons but is not up to marathons yet. He doesn't DIS. I'll have to see if he plans on bringing any running gear with him. He may not though as that would leave me with alone with DD-5 and DD-3.

Cruise question!!

Is it true that Costa Maya has a Dolphin experience? I think I saw someone mention that. Would that be through Disney or privately? Since Coz is up in the air, that would be great.

Hi Maria!

Diana watches it. I stopped by the TV on the way out to get DD at dance and watched that routine. It WAS HOT!!! :banana: :banana:

I really laughed at Drew's response to one of the judges statement he was ready for Brokeback Mountain the Musical!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Scoopie, our mascot still has plenty of time to visit! His website link on my signature has his itinerary. If anyone still wants to host him, just PM me!

His website is updated with photos, but my host doesn't like it...I'm supposed to ask permission or something like that - guess I forgot to ask " Mother May I"- I'll get John to work on it this weekend...

[CajunGirl2]

Question for Kikipug or Scuba family or anyone else that may know ... I think I'm going to make a reservation for us to sleep in JAX area the night before the cruise. Do either of you have a suggestion on a hotel in that area? We'll be coming from I-10. I'd prefer that it be close to the interstate ... not dirt cheap but something reasonable ... cleanliness is a must!

Edited to add ... Ok ... where was my mind this morning? Jacksonville ... Daytona ... not quite the same place, huh? :confused3 So neither one of you may have any input for me.

Thanks,

Mike :earsboy:

I contacted them -- the are like a hotel and they ony sell the dolphin excursion to their hotel guests. The only way to do the dolphins is to book through the cruise, or at least that is what they tell me. There are two excursion times for the dolphin swim (10 and 11:30 a.m.) as I was told by a Disney CM. If you are in the earlier one, it is more time to spend on the beach (Uvero) I think a lot of people will be trying to book this one. It will be interesting.

[RachelTori]

We skipped the Olympics last night in favor of watching Dancing with the Stars. Is anyone else into this show. My goodness Drew & Cheryl's freestyle routine last night was HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!! I got into it last season (with all the controversy over who really "won"!!). This season was even better! Can you believe the legs on Stacy Keebler? 41" - WHOA!! I was rooting for Jerry Rice early on, but it soon became apparent that it would be between Stacy and Drew. OMG - Drew and Cheryl's performances last night were awesome -- and, yes, that freestyle was HOT,HOT,HOT!!!! Sunday night will be interesting because they each have one more performance that the judges will score.

[BWVPam]

I caught the end of Dancing with the Stars and saw Drew and Cheryl's dance. That was incredible. I hope he wins. Stacey is good, but I like Drew. I really couldn't believe that Jerry Rice made it into the finals. I really thought that Lisa and Louie were better. Oh well

I definitely agree! Lisa started out a bit slow, but by about the 3rd week, you could really see her talent. I think how Jerry stayed in so long is that he had a larger "fan base". :confused3


Oh, COOL!!! A TOP with Pam, Drew, Cheryl, Lisa & Louie!!!! :banana:

Pam - I'm with you about Jerry Rice. I think they only kept him because of WHO he is. Guess football players don't take ballet anymore. I like Drew. He's good and sexy. And I was upset when Lisa and Louie didn't make it. She really improved. My oldest son loves to watch this. I wouldn't have if it wasn't for him.

Is anyone planning on taking the Chaccohoben Mayan Ruins tour at Costa Maya through DCL? We are thinking about doing this, since we really want to visit some Mayan ruins and it looks like Cozumel (and, therefore Tulum) is not going to happen.

If you have your heart set on a specific excursion you may want to looking at booking it independent. Many of the excursion companies do not have the same age restrictions that DCL has.

One opened up near us recently and I've heard good and bad, is it worth trying??? Having the big buffalo outside looked kinds weird to me to make me go in there and eat him!!!!

Hey Laura & Julia,

When y'all drive down to the port, do you go through Jacksonville or stay on 75 to the turnpike? I'm trying to decide what to do. If we don't leave until after Emily gets out of school on that Fri., I can't see us driving all the way to the port that night & was thinking that staying in JAX area would be an option. If we do leave earlier, we'd probably ask my sister to stay with them so that we could have a brief visit (beside, it's looking like a lot of places at the port are already booked up).

Ang

We have done both, I think DH prefers to stay on 75 and we are going to try leave earlier before school is out, we normally stop for something to eat and get to the hotel around 10ish depending.

[itdjbw]

It's easier to go through Jacksonville. The hardest part of the trip is usually getting south of Atlanta -- then we feel like we're "on our way!!" I believe the mileage from our home to the port is 530 - so your's should be comparable.

We just go with whichever when we get down there depending on how we feel, we are going down the weekend before to Weston so that will be 2 long drives and getting out of Atlanta is the worst!!

[itdjbw]

Hi-I am Linda from Iowa. I have been reading this thread for approximately 2 months and decided to take the plunge and join in. I have 2 children, DS-John almost 8, and DD-Meighan age 6.

I wish everyone a great rest of the day!!

Welcome Linda and good luck keeping up with this board - it takes me days to try catch up.

[itdjbw]

Paul, there is no reason why you can do both, scuba and running. I'm just starting the distance running so I am not in your league. I'm hoping to run the Disney 1/2 marathon in January. Possibly the marathon next year.

I've been thinking about a run at CC too, but is it possible to find a place to run that is not full of people?

By all means, bring your shoes. There is always deck 4.

BTW - I just got my new Garmin FR 205.

You could probably run on the old runway at CC.

I need to stay home more and keep up with this thread. You guys are moving!

Just made final payment. Yep, waited until the last minute. Bought travel insurance too, we're going with Travelex this time. I sure like that "Insure Your Trip" site.

Loved Drew & Cheryl's routine last night, so cute! Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy. Cute and naughty. They kept saying it was the final, was it the final? Then how does the dance Sunday night count? I'm confused. Yes, I really miss Lisa and Louie. They were so cute together.

Alicia's dance team has a group class every Friday for everyone, all ages. They are having a ballroom class tonight, and we thought Dad should go so she can have a partner. The director told me he's welcome, but they really don't need partners. How do you dance ballroom without a partner? This I gotta see.

[TiggerInNY]

I had my first "cruise dream". It wasn't a dream it was more like a nightmare. When I was checking in at the port, they had a different cabin number listed for me. It didn't have a verandah, only a window and they didn't have any more verandahs left and they wouldn't upgrade me. Boy, was I upset.

Hope this doesn't happen in real life!!!! I wonder how many more of these dreams I'll have? :confused3

Gotta go now, DH wants to take the family out for dinner...wwaahhooo!! I love that guy.

Diana,

We went with Travelex too. (thru "insure..." They sent the policy right away.

Last night was the "finals" on Dancing but they're dragging it out a bit. Sunday night the couples perform one last dance that the judges will score. Sounds like they'll tally everything up at that point and declare the winner.

Everyone must be out tonight or watching the olympics.

Julia
I am here what type of rest is Bridgetown?

[RachelTori]

Hey,
I am alittle sad tonight. My husbands boss said now it might just be better if stay in Dallas instead of moving to Altanta :(
I like it here, don't get me wrong, but if we lived in Atlanta we would live closer to my family and WDW ;)

Don't be sad. Look at it as a little speed bump in the road. It may still happen; and if not "this" time, don't lose faith - it will happen if that's what y'all want! pixiedust:

[dzneprincess]

Yep, Its because of reorg. in the company so, his boss is now saying that due to the reorg, it might be better we stay here, but that maybe they can work something out?? Those darn company reorgs! :headache:

Understand and have been there!!! I really hope all goes well for you and your family!! It can really give you a major headach :headache: I can for sure understand why you need to wait and tell your children. I hope you all can go!

Thank you.....I guess that has something to do with why I am in such a foul mood today..I just wish I was at WDW on on DCL in fantasy...I like fantasy better than reality....sigh..........Really, I have no choice but to pay the final payment and go...because our FP is due on the 10th. We wont know anything about the job until the 15th....

Cool! I was trying to remember waht month we (my friend and I) saw it but I do not recall. Iremember we saw Madonna's Drowned World Tour and POTO within a month of each other because I remember commenting to each other on howd we'd been out 2wce so close togehter! LOL I know we saw Madonna in August! Woot woot ! Awesome show by the way! SHe is touring again this summer! I just hope it is not during this cruise, and I hope that she comes to ATL again and most importantly that I can AFFORD to go! LOL

Do not fall for it! It is a trick! Slip quietly into the doorway of their rooms immediatly and see what they are REALLY doing! LOL at least that what I do when mine go wuiet...

[dzneprincess]

[Disney Fans]

Are you all going to do the string ray at CC? My son says he wants to! But I don't know if a 6 year old can? I think they can?

Yep- Girls rock and rule for sure :cool2:

[RachelTori]

Amanda,

Here's PD for you pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: Have faith - things will be OK.

Sorry, it doesn't look like there are any "takers" on your kids tonight! :lmao:

Have a good night, ladies (and gentlemen if there are any out there!!!)

:sunny:

[Disney Fans]

We have talked about it the Med cruise. But is it a for sure thing??
And also the cost, if it is as high as some say, I don't know about that then, I think we might need to do something else? We will have to wait and see I guess and meanwhile I will feel like :eek: this if the prices are too high!

I'll never forget the date we saw it..... September 10, 2001. We all remember what happened the next morning :sad:

I haven't heard any dates for Madonna - will have to find out :banana:

No MED cruise for us. I'll be interested in hearing the pricing though :eek:

Well, now I really do have to run. Nite!!

[Disney Fans]

This is the most I have ever talked and now you all are starting to leave :sad:

I don't know how you all do it. I guess I can't do two things at once, so its hard to talk to much like tonight on a reg. basis due to the kids asking me for this and that :crazy2:

It came from Shelley actually...Bibbidy...
We were saying that if we didnt go to Coz than we would like GC because then we could do the stingray city again...Shelley said that they gave her the heebie jeebies and no way no how! LOL That she didnt mind dolphins cause they were cute...someone else said that stingrays were cute too! Tadaa.....a new siggy was born you can use it too if you want to...We will not do the excursion at CC BUT if we go to GC instead of Coz we will do Stingray City again...Ireally enjoyed myslef last time and I was like SHelly, I thought they would give tme the heebie jeebs..

[dzneprincess]

oops forgot to add..somehow the manatees got thrown in there..not quite sure how that one happened....but since Mark hosts the image he can chnage it to whatever he wants to! Be careful we could all wake up with an " I am a loser" siggy one day! LOL
