5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 6

[ohiominnie]

TOP!!!


You all make it too easy. I go away for awhile and when I come back, it's time for a TOP!

[tinksdad]

how does a smart kid who generally LOVES to read FAIL READING!!!! I am so mad right now I could spit.
You could always blame on the Gators!! :rotfl2:

[ohiominnie]

YOU READ MY MIND!!!! AGAIN!!! Why is it that we 'Karen's' seem to think alike pretty often!!! (Especially when it comes to weird stuff...)

SCARY, huh? Although I prefer "great minds think alike!" ;)




OMG.. what a day... meeting after meeting... and I'm sitting in my last meeting of the day and my phone rings... I answer it, (we hadn't quite started yet), and it's Elizabeth... bawling her eyes out... seems that there wasn't much progress from the AWFUL mid-term report to the EVEN MORE AWFUL report card!! She FAILED reading... how does a smart kid who generally LOVES to read FAIL READING!!!! I am so mad right now I could spit.

I have officially grounded her until mid-terms come out again, taken the phone out of her room, and am working on what else will happen... I'm just to disappointed to think clearly right now. She was supposed to go to MGM on Saturday with our church youth group... it's killing me not to let her go, but I've GOT to get through to her. She is a smart kid- she's just not doing the work, not turning it in, not studying, not paying attention... not... not... not... you get the picture. It has NOTHING to do with ability.

OK... I guess I'm done venting for now... Calgon, take me away!

:grouphug: Man, I'm glad I don't have to deal with this kinda stuff. If mine aren't trying hard I crack them in the head that day....no need to wait 9 weeks around here for a good head cracking! ;)

[ohiominnie]

....no need to wait 9 weeks around here for a good head cracking! ;)

now, where IS the Tag Fairy when you need her!?!? HA!

[Scoopie]

Hey Scoopie! How you doing? While you are there maybe you can make Megan smile a bit. You have that effect on people! :)

Megan was here, and I did make her smile. In fact, I made her laugh. She said "WHAT is THAT?" and when Stacey told her she laughed. I'm glad I was here to make her happy.
Plus, she liked holding me in front of the dog to see if he wanted to play with me. That made her laugh, too....but it made Stacey mad, so Megan left.
:confused3

[justmestace]

Long day...I'm tired. No news from Jay's brother.

Jordan is at a game, so we're going to take Scoopie someplace for dinner before we have to go get her.

[Dancind]

Ack, Kiki, that's a tough one. When did we have that discussion about our ADD kids? Sometime back about nine months ago, I think. Most of us expressed frustration with our kids and their attention/effort/organization problems. If one of us could find the answer to that question we could make millions.

I was kind of thinking we would book something about eighteen months out on the cruise, and then figure it out when new itineraries are announced. I'd love a trans-Atlantic, but not sure the family would (no scuba diving).

Playing catch with Scoopie is fine, but NOT fetch!!! :rotfl2:


Besides Diana just cleaned him all up. :faint:

[scuba.mom]

We'd better get thinking about what the NEXT cruise will be. After all, think of the let down on June 3rd if there isn't a plan in place!



That is exactly what Jim said - we better figure out the next trip. What would we do without looking forward to some more time with our friends. Any ideas for 2007???

[ohiominnie]

Hey, is the Ohiomouse family still on tap to get Scoopie at the end of January? I think that was the original plan. We were going to take him skiing. Well....as we have no ski trip planned we'll have to find SOMETHING fun to do with him!

[Disney Fans]

Our semi-formal night picture is the one on Mary's website from our cruise 06/04
http://monorailgreen.info/May06/photoindex.htm This is what we did for our formal nite on our 6/04 cruise. Since DH doesn't own a tux, and we don't want to pack suits if we don't have to, we rented a tux from the cruiseline tux service. DS wore a suit and tie, and I had on a short black dress. This year both DH and DS will rent the tux and I'll be wearing a dressy top with a black skirt for formal night. We had brought DS's Easter dress shoes on the cruise not realizing that he'd outgrown them. We have several pictues of him in his suit with sandals!


Thanks so much for the info!
:sunny:

[Disney Fans]

Speaking of crazy......silly.....


You guys aren't silly! You both look so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Scoopie]

Well....I finally got to go to the Bad Donkey. A pretty interesting place...they have lots of donkeys there.

I'll come see you next...you'll have to send Stacey your address.

[Scoopie]

I was going to get ready for bed, but I might stick around and see if I can get my first T.O.P. I hear that's fun.

[mickeymo]

yep, you're on the schedule for end of January...if we can pry Scoopie away from Stacey's dog... :teeth:

[Scoopie]

WHOO HOO I got my first T.O.P. !!

(What's a T.O.P.???)

[mickeymo]

Scoopie, you didn't get it - but, how about we share it?

[Scoopie]

Mickeymo! Stacey says you are a princess: pirate: !




:sad: :sad: :sad:

[Scoopie]

Okay....it's nice that you'll share. :hug:

[mickeymo]

I'm willing to share!!! :hug:

[mickeymo]

ooo great minds...we chose the same hug...awwww....

Does that mean my brain is frozen or mush????

[justmestace]

Wow....who'd have thought an ice cream cone could yell that loud??? :confused3

[justmestace]

ooo great minds...we chose the same hug...awwww....

Does that mean my brain is frozen or mush????


Careful, there.....I think Scoopie had a little help. tee hee...

[mickeymo]

Haven't checked mail today - I really don't want to be disappointed and do the "dead cockroach" again today - So, I'll wait until tomorrow to see if our kit came...

[mickeymo]

So, is it just the two of us? Where's everyone else???

[justmestace]

Haven't checked mail today - I really don't want to be disappointed and do the "dead cockroach" again today - So, I'll wait until tomorrow to see if our kit came...


Ours didn't. I have a feeling that it may have gone to my TA, but she's off having fun at WDW. Who can blame her? She has to deal with ME! LOL

[justmestace]

Don't feel bad, Monica...it's me...every time I show up, everyone else disappears.

:confused:

[justmestace]

Maybe they're watching something good on TV. Jay has the remote, and he's watching something boring. He actually made me change the channel last night from the Golden Globes to Antiques Roadshow! The nerve!

[ohiominnie]

Don't feel bad, Monica...it's me...every time I show up, everyone else disappears.

:confused:

I'm here. Again. SO not ready to begin real life again.

[mickeymo]

I'm procrastinating picking up around the house...the kids just went to bed...
Maggie told her Jazz teacher today that she met Jordan because Jordan also teaches Jazz. I think Jordan made a really big impression on her...

[ohiominnie]

we still have to watch 24 from last night. Sunday night we fell asleep during the second hour (that was our travel day....the one where nick decided to puke at 4:30 am)

so last night we watched that second hour but couldn't watch anymore.

still waiting for mike to get home, but i'm about ready for bed now....

not sure i can keep my eyes open....even for keifer :)

[justmestace]

Oh ... maybe that's why DCL can cruise in US waters. My understanding was that on the catamarans out of the BVI, we were dumping EVERYTHING! :eek: :crazy2:

Stacey, we went through a company called The Moorings.

Ang

I looked at The Moorings...but the contest/drawing that I entered was for Elite Island Yachts. Those are some pretty gorgeous catamarans.

But I think Jay wants to go to an island and stay for a week or 10 days in 2007. Maybe no cruise for us that year. We're looking at finally using our timeshare, and going to Turks & Caicos.

[mickeymo]

I have a 1/2 hr left on last night's 24 - John was a sweetheart and set the timer, without realizing that I had planned to tape it, tried and given up...

[justmestace]

I'm procrastinating picking up around the house...the kids just went to bed...
Maggie told her Jazz teacher today that she met Jordan because Jordan also teaches Jazz. I think Jordan made a really big impression on her...

That's pretty cute. Too bad you guys don't live here, Jordan would have a blast teaching Maggie "extra" stuff.

[justmestace]

I'm here. Again. SO not ready to begin real life again.


I'm not sure I know what "real" or "normal" is anymore.

[ohiominnie]

We had the BEST serving team on our cruise. Got Nick raspberries and blueberries EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! :) And he only had to ask on the first night. Every night after that they were just there waiting for him!

Unfortunately one of them is leaving mid-April and not coming back until mid-June. The other one is leaving MAY 27th. The NERVE!! We tried to convince her to stay another week, but she gave us this sob story about getting back to St. Vincent's so she can see her little girls (ages 7 and 4)

Funny thing is....we did Nick's birthday on night #2 (he wanted it in Parrot Cay) and for some reason they did....

Happy Birthday dear Patrick......

And it stuck. From then on Nick was "Patrick." Got to the point where we didn't have the heart to tell them that wasn't his name. They probably got our tip envelopes that said "From the Patrick family" and thought either Nick had a lot of power in the family or that we are sick people naming our kid "Patrick Patrick." ;)

[mickeymo]

Just turned in my West Wing season 5 discs 1 & 2 to Netflix...Working on season 4 of MASH (yes, I've seen them multiple times, but just got the seasons 1-9 for Christmas. And just picked up Season 1 of "Everybody loves Raymond" at the library...

oh, and also from the library, Season 3 of "Rocky and Bullwinkle" for the kids - yep for the kids, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :teeth:

[ohiominnie]

cute - I know a Roger Rogers and used to know a Thomas Thomas...

[justmestace]

Stace,
I was reading the thread with Nate on my lap (2) he say Megans pic and said thats mommy! LOL We do kind of resemble a bit, at least in black and white!

Yep..he's right...I think so, too.

[ohiominnie]

cute - I know a Roger Rogers and used to know a Thomas Thomas...

There was a kid in my hometown (small little place)

His name was Anthony Anthony Anthony.

When he was confirmed he chose "Edward"

So he became Anthony Anthony Edward Anthony.

[justmestace]

Jordan *teaches* jazz?

She helps teach the littler girls class that starts before one of hers, and she loves it.

[justmestace]

cute - I know a Roger Rogers and used to know a Thomas Thomas...

Reminds me of the song we used to sing...."My name is Yon Yohnson, I live in Visconsin, I vork in the lumbermill there".....
Okay, so growing up in Nebraska was a little boring.......

At least we weren't singing songs about FISH HEADS.

[mickeymo]

o.k. speaking of "reel" life(I know you said REAL) - I think I have my movie character narrowed down for our costume party Saturday night...

Ginger Rogers - I have the wig now, and a dress but, I'm having a hard time looking at myself as a blonde...

Thought I might do Molly Ringwalde in either Breakfast club or 16 candles- it's scarey enough that I could probably put together her entire outfit of clothes I still have in my closet including my prom dress - if they'll fit is another question...

Then John came up with Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct....flattered but, no....

[justmestace]

Then John came up with Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct....flattered but, no....

:earseek: :earseek: :earseek: Gotta love him for that, though!

I love the Molly Ringwald idea. No one (except me) is old enough to remember Ginger Rogers. She used to come to Omaha (although I don't know WHY) and when she did, she came to our church. My brother used to love to sit on her lap. He was 30.



Kidding! He was only 3.

[mickeymo]

There was a kid in my hometown (small little place)

His name was Anthony Anthony Anthony.



Now, that takes some imagination for someone to actually think of doing that for all three names....

Although my brother was threatening to name my nephew "McCawley McCawley"-didn't do it - just driving my mother crazy - my nephew's name is Matthew...

my movie obsession is Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers - actually anything with Fred Astaire...never really a big Gene Kelly Fan...
my favorite movie is Breakfast Club - so, Molly would be perfect...

I'm reading Ginger Rogers' autobiography now...I'm having fun introducing Maggie to their movies...

But I think Jay wants to go to an island and stay for a week or 10 days in 2007. Maybe no cruise for us that year. We're looking at finally using our timeshare, and going to Turks & Caicos.

How about an all inclusive at the Turks & Caicos? The Beaches has a family one at the Turks & Caicos.

[scuba diver]

All of the talk about bags has gotten me thinking about doing another wine for this cruise, private label.

This time I'm thinking of winebroker.com/Wine.asp?code=JRB (http://winebroker.com/Wine.asp?code=JRB). Very smooth mild everyday drinking red wine from Southern France. Mild tannins, semi-dry flavors of black cherries. Very popular with clients for many years!

Any interest?

For those who do not know, I did this on the 10 day and carried it on board for those who wanted a bottle or two. Actually, my children carried it on for us.

[WDWLVR]

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


Happy Wednesday!








Wow that Scoopie was quite a little poster yesterday!

Good morning all!

It's a little chilly in GA this morning.

I have a follow-up dr. appt. today. Part of me is hoping he'll say that I don't have to wear the brace any more but part of me thinks of it as my security "blanket". I just think I'll go back to being fatigued again - mainly from muscle fatigue. But every day is still a better day and I've got this cruise to look forward to.

Jim, I think I'm in for a bottle of wine.

Over the weekend I asked Bruce where our next family vacation would be. The girls have been dying to go back to DW so he said probably there. Even though it was in Sept. 2004, Ashley doesn't remember anything and Emily doesn't remember much. Back to the conversation with Bruce ... then he threw in "if we like the cruise, maybe we can do that every other year." That shocked the heck out of me! Maybe he's looking forward to this more than I thought!!!!

Getting my Passporter back from a friend today. I'll be doing some reading again. Not sure there is anything else I REALLY need to know but it's just my obsessing!!!! But I know y'all understand.

Hey, Angie! I have the feeling your whole family will be "hooked" after this cruise!! My DH could have taken it or left it before our 1st cruise. By the time we were back at Port Canaveral, he couldn't wait till our next cruise!! :hyper:



Jim, I think we're game for a bottle too!! :drinking1

[kikipug]

How about an all inclusive at the Turks & Caicos? The Beaches has a family one at the Turks & Caicos.

Elizabeth might still be grounded in 2007, so we can't make any vacation plans yet... :scared1:

What makes me even madder at the whole situation, is that the 'House Leader' signs all the report card and puts a note on them... it is 100% obvious that she doesn't even look at the grades, because she wrote 'Nice Job' on Elizabeth's report card... HELLO... she got a 2.0... NOT a good job. This just makes Elizabeth think that it's not so bad after all... I am horrified, and am seriously thinking of calling the House Leader to give her a piece of my mind... just not exactly sure what I want to say to her, besides, "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND???" (Yes, I'm yelling...)

On the other hand, I just left an award ceremony for Christopher... he got "Outstanding Achievement in Science" for the first half of the year... he was thrilled. This is the first year that he hasn't won the "Enthusiasm" award... he's got the bubbliest personality, but HATES getting that award. (His report card, BTW, was great!!!)

Ang,

I just got my Passporter in the mail this week and I feel like you, don't know how much I WON'T know in the book, but it's my obsession that gets me. It's nice to have something right at your fingertips, too. I know exactly how you feel.

I hear you girlfriend...I hope you can get back into a "routine" from now on without anything else happening. Even though it may be a mundane one at that. Like someone else said, things seem to come in 3's and I think you're done. Please know you're in our prayers.

Maria

[TiggerInNY]

We are having some crazy weather here in NY. It has been sooo windy and raining. The wind is just whipping around. Trees are down. Some people don't have electricity...I DO thank God. From this past weekend it's been like this. What did we do wrong to get Mother Nature so mad at us??? :confused3 Anyway, I'm starting to grow webs between my toes. This weather is only good for two things...umbrellas and ducks.

Lisa would like to get her nails done on the ship if she continues to do well in school. Does anyone know (or if someone is cruising prior to our trip could they ask) if an almost 12 year old would be allowed in the Salon to have her nails done. I know they can't go in the spa, but I would think the Salon would be ok. If someone knows for sure, please let me know. THanks. Sharon

This isn't a 100% for sure...but Jordan got to go have her hair done for Megan's wedding. She was 11...or maybe just turned 12. The thing I don't know, is if they only let her go because of the wedding.

[justmestace]

OMG!!! Looked at that site. Nice place, but are those the "daily" rates??? :scared1:

Yes, but for all four of us, it's still cheaper than a cruise....and we're talkin' timeshare!
There are a lot of places that are really nice, though...and cheaper.

Hi all -- Charley came home from the hospital last night. He has to go back next week for follow-up visits with cardiologist and nuerologist and our regular doctor, but at least he is home. He can go back to work on Monday if he is feeling up to it.

I know they can't go in the spa, but I would think the Salon would be ok. If someone knows for sure, please let me know. THanks. Sharon

Yes. I just asked this on our cruise last week. They can go for a manicure/pedicure in the Salon. They also have special mom/daughter appointments. Maybe I'll do that next time....give me an excuse! :) Not sure on cost.

Pam, glad to hear that Charley is home from the hospital.

Things went well at my dr. appt. The dr. said that the bone is fusing ... said it's already at 60% bone growth. I was quite surprised. I am now wearing a corset rather than the brace. But I only have to wear it when I'm out & about, not at home. The corset is like what you see stockworkers wear in a grocery store ... those elastic "belts" that go around your torso. I am now able to lift up to 30 lbs. and can bend/twist up to 2/3 of what I would normally do prior to surgery. I need to work on strengthening my muscles in my torso. So it was a good visit! I go back on May 24. Hopefully at that time he'll tell me no more corset. I'd hate to have to be in it on the cruise! I did ask him if the cruise would be ok ... just to double check. He said "Have fun! Where are you going?" I also go the ok to make the long car drive back to LA in Feb. to attend my grandmother's 90 b-day celebration and to go to a Mardi Gras parade.

We are having some crazy weather here in NY. It has been sooo windy and raining. The wind is just whipping around. Trees are down. Some people don't have electricity...I DO thank God. From this past weekend it's been like this. What did we do wrong to get Mother Nature so mad at us??? :confused3 Anyway, I'm starting to grow webs between my toes. This weather is only good for two things...umbrellas and ducks.


TTFN,

Sounds like hurricane season here in Florida. :rotfl2:

[scuba diver]

Should I ?? I know Sharon's light is on....maybe...

but no one is home. Is that what you are saying about my wife? :rotfl:

Hi all -- Charley came home from the hospital last night. He has to go back next week for follow-up visits with cardiologist and nuerologist and our regular doctor, but at least he is home. He can go back to work on Monday if he is feeling up to it.


YIPPIE!!!! Hope all goes well at his follow-up visits. :)

Well, I've typed a couple of posts, but they have gone to Never-never land. I've been told I need to clear my cookies, so maybe it's me. So, keeping my posts short.

[Dancind]

Any DVC'ers have their handbook handy? Any DVC trades to Turks & Caicos?

[Dancind]

Why yes there is! Answering my own question, it's the Alexandra Resort and Spa! Stacey, would Jay mind if we come with you on vacation for the rest of our lives?

[dzneprincess]

How about an all inclusive at the Turks & Caicos? The Beaches has a family one at the Turks & Caicos.I want in on that! I have really been wanting to go to Beaches T & C but everytime I price it, a DCL cruise is less expensive....

All of the talk about bags has gotten me thinking about doing another wine for this cruise, private label.

This time I'm thinking of winebroker.com/Wine.asp?code=JRB (http://winebroker.com/Wine.asp?code=JRB). Very smooth mild everyday drinking red wine from Southern France. Mild tannins, semi-dry flavors of black cherries. Very popular with clients for many years!

Any interest?

For those who do not know, I did this on the 10 day and carried it on board for those who wanted a bottle or two. Actually, my children carried it on for us. me and me!!:teeth:

Hey- To those of you that live in GA!!!

There is a very very good chance we will be moving to GA this summer!! We will most likely look for a house around Sandy Springs, Alpharetta or lower Cumming areas.
It would be so nice to live closer to WDW and DCL! LOL We could then drive instead of having to fly if needed. Anyway it would be nice to at least have the choice.


Hey I think I just got my 1st top!!!!

If you need info, I'm sure there are a few of us that will help you out. We live in Alpharetta (well, it's really unincorporated N. Fulton) - very close to the Fulton/Forsyth county lines. I think it's Julia that lives in Sandy Springs.

Where do you live now?

Guess I should get off my guff and pack for our trip! OMKaren...packing tips for this time of year?

[WDWLVR]

Bag Info!

Pam sent me a photo of the bag and it is now up on the website along with a brief description. She was concerned how the cone logo would look on the red background so we also are showing that. Since the one scoop was kind of red it didn't show up well so we changed that to green.

Here is a look.

Guess I should get off my guff and pack for our trip! OMKaren...packing tips for this time of year?

I packed for a 7 day in one afternoon and one evening. My advice: extensive, pre-made packing lists. Packing is SO easy (other than finding out nothing fits!)

Since our vacations rarely vary (cruise or WDW) we have lists so we don't forget anything. :)

The only thing we *forgot* this time was zip ties for the luggage. Landed in Orlando and realized nothing was secured. I know I packed them.....just can't remember WHERE!!! :rotfl2:

[ohiominnie]

yeah but you were not Capt Kirk!!!!:rotfl:

Oh...see, I had no idea what Mark's reference was to. :)

No. I'm not Capt. Kirk, nor do I play him on TV. Actually (GASP) I was never a Star Trek fan. :faint:

[ohiominnie]

Bag Info!

Cool! What if we just leave the cones blank and take a Sharpie with us and fill in the ports as we get there......just in case Cozumel isn't up and running!!! :rotfl2:

[ohiominnie]

btw, I can't catch up if everyone keeps talking.....I find myself reading the new stuff instead of the old stuff.

I'm afraid NOT to catch up because I'm sure SOMEWHERE in there Sir Scuba was doggin' me and I'll need to get him back for it! :)

I have to agree. I think black would be better to see the lettering on a red background.

[BWVPam]

Hi all - Thanks Mary for posting the pics. Please everyone, post your thoughts on this, especially what you want on the bags. I don't want to arbitrarily decide. I talked to the vendor today and she is going to come over to my office on Friday. I have to place some orders for work, so we are going to take care of discussing the bags as well. So, please, send all of your comments.

Well -- it is really nice to have Charley home. life is a little easier not running up to the hospital.

[dobelover]

I had a post deleted on the cc board. We were having a discussion about accessible cabins and I said DCL was the only line requiring a medical form. It got deleted cause I was giving info people could misuse.




Sue

[BWVPam]

I called my TA today to make a payment and asked about the cruise kit. She didn't know anything about it. Anyway, she called DCL and asked them to send it directly to me. So hopefully, I will receive it in a week.:teeth:

[TiggerInNY]

So glad to hear that Charley is back home. Running back and forth to the hospital sure does some good wear and tear on the mind and body. Please wish him the best from us. I'm sure he's happy to be home, too. Sleeping in your own bed does a body good.

TTFN,
Maria

[itdjbw]

Hey, Angie! I have the feeling your whole family will be "hooked" after this cruise!! My DH could have taken it or left it before our 1st cruise. By the time we were back at Port Canaveral, he couldn't wait till our next cruise!! :hyper:





We were hooked after our 1st, this will be our 9th cruise with 2 more booked for later this year and our first was 5 years ago!! :rotfl2:

[ohiominnie]

nevermind

I saw this before you neverminded it. I was off checking it out.

I agree. Silly.

[ohiominnie]

We were hooked after our 1st, this will be our 9th cruise with 2 more booked for later this year and our first was 5 years ago!! :rotfl2:

I hear ya! We just figured it out. Our first cruise was May of '03. We just sailed on #7! That's 7 in less than 3 years. Only have the Double Scoop planned now....
and that one that may turn trans-atlantic, although I'm trying to get finances under control and if it's an obnoxious price I may have to be the bad guy. :(

[itdjbw]

We'll probably use the timeshare, so this is the place we're looking at.

http://www.alexandraresort.com/about_the_resort/about_the_resort.html


I think it's the only one listed in our timeshare book.

We have stayed in some amazing places around the world using our timeshare and most of the resorts sure beat a hotel. Enjoy it.

I like the idea of another contrasting color for the lettering as well. Since we are going with black and red, then black seems the logical choice. Would gold work?


Glad Charley is back home! :teeth:

[BWVPam]

Angie -- great news about your back. Sounds like you are improving daily. I know you must be relieved.

Thanks for everyones well wishes while Charley was in the hospital. It was nice to have a place to come and vent! I want the next four months to go by quickly so we can go on a cruise.

[WDWLVR]

Ok I guess this is a case where having a moderator on the cruise might be a blessing or a curse. Bottom line there are some agents and some websites that have been blocked by the filters here. If you don't agree with that blocking you will have to take it up with the admins. We as moderators are only to make sure that people don't try and go around those filters. Going around the filters is against the guidelines of the board as well. So typing out the names with spaces, or using other ways to try and get your message across will get your post deleted. You will also be warned. If you ignore those warnings you could lose your posting privledges.


Again our job is to make sure that doesn't happen. So again if you don't agree with any of this please direct your questions to admin@wdwinfo.com

Edited to add - if anyone has a problem with the above message (not the rule itself) please feel free to pm me.

Now enough of the moderator stuff and back to the cruise. :)

[WDWLVR]

Ok in response to changing colors on the text and in response to Karen's good point that there is a slim chance we won't be going to Cozumel. Here is another look at the logo:

Interesting!
I was saying that toungue in cheek, actually. :) But it works for me. :)

[DVCcruise]

I like the Island names on the bags, even if we don't go to Cozumel. ;)

The green is DIS green, but we don't have to use it. I'm so glad this group is starting to mend. Everyone needs to be healthy by May.

[WDWLVR]

Pam - glad to hear that Charley is home!


Angie - happy to hear about the progress on your back. Keep up the good work!

[MarkRG]

And a few more things to throw out there, the pics Mary posted are heavily resized, and not the final product to be given to Pam either, so are kind of rough cut and pastes at points. More just to put the idea together. Especially the way the image/text merged with the red background. It'll look a lot sharper on the actual item.

Second, I have just finished a full evening of scanning in the entire DCL booklet they sent, all 50-60 pages. I'll put it together into something a lot more presentable tomorrow and should have something up tomorrow night. :)

If you need info, I'm sure there are a few of us that will help you out. We live in Alpharetta (well, it's really unincorporated N. Fulton) - very close to the Fulton/Forsyth county lines. I think it's Julia that lives in Sandy Springs.

Hey!
I will take you up on the help for sure when I find out for sure about the move. Thanks
Right now we live in the Dallas, TX area.

Cool! B4 or after the cruise? I am further south than you are looking to move, but there are a few who are in the Atlanta area, which to me, is everything you just named off! LOL Where do you live now?

I would think we would try and move after sometime in June or July. Yuck it will be hot!
When do schools start in GA? Aug or Sept?
I also think if I am not mistaken my son and yours were writting emails to one another but I think mine wrote last and haven't heard from you lately but then again I haven't been on the web that much the past couple of months, LOL Sorry if I am mistaken but if not hello again long time no talk LOL

We are in Sandy Springs, my family all live in Roswell and south Forsyth.
Wecome down to GA, where are you now and how old are your kids???

Thanks! My kids: I have one that just turned 6 ! Monday and another that is 3 years old. both boys!!!
How old are yours!
Do you like Sandy Springs alot!

I love the Flower :flower3: & Garden :flower2: show. We have been able to see it the past two years when we went in May. I didn't know they would still have it in June. That is really great to hear because we couldn't leave to go to WDW before the cruise due to my youngest being in school this year. Thanks for the letting me know!!!

I wish we could stay after the cruise...but we've been gone too many days in the last year....work will be calling.


As for that Turks & Caicos thing......FAMILY is always welcome! O'Hana !!

Personally, I don't think any vacation would be any fun anymore without our DIS Family........ It WAS my husband who asked "Who's coming with us?".

[scuba diver]

I'm afraid NOT to catch up because I'm sure SOMEWHERE in there Sir Scuba was doggin' me and I'll need to get him back for it! :)

Everyone had better at some point - it is the real precruise packet with all the excursion and gift info. If you don't have one soon and are booked thru a TA, yell at them; they're holding onto it.

Saw the skating show too, and have to admit to being quite impressed. The non pro sketers all did very well after only a month of training.

[CajunGirl2]

Really? We just saw the previews and it looked HORRIBLE. I couldn't believe anyone would want to do all of that falling on their head or being slammed to the ice. They must have showed the worst of the worst for the commercial.

We finished up Monday's 24 last night. Can't believe they are making me wait until next week to see another episode!!

Do you like Sandy Springs alot!

I have 2 girls girls about the same ages as yours. Emily is still 5 but in K ... she's got a late birthday. Ashley turned 3 in Oct.

Not sure if anyone answered yet ... school starts in mid-Aug. here.

As for the temps, we love it here. It can get hot in Aug. & Sept. but that's it! The humidity will be higher than in Dallas but the temps will not. We're originally from south Louisiana and absolutely LOVE the weather here. Last summer we only hit above 90 degree temps on a few days (probably less than 5 total).

Pam,

Glad to hear that Charley is home from the hospital. I hope you can get some rest now. I know how worn out Bruce was when I was in the hospital.

[tinksdad]

About that time again. TOP!! http://dkeddy.com/pictures/monkeypirate.jpg

[Dancind]

Missed the skating show, but agree with OM. It looked too painful, I don't actually enjoy seeing people get hurt! Glad to hear they didn't do that the whole show. I am starting to watch American Idol again, if only to get a glance at the people that might make the top 24 or 32, not sure which it is this year. And of course, LOST!

No booklet here either. :sad1:

[WDWLVR]

Just for fun went over to the DCL site to price out our cruise. Cat 7's (which we are in) are still available. If the two of us were to book today it would be $1600 more than when we booked it onboard back in Dec. 2004. :eek:

[TiggerInNY]

I have never watched American Idol, but was watching it last night. Too funny. Some of the people have REALLY good voices. Some people....OMG...WHO tells these people that they could sing? That one girl, they brought in her mother. I think she was 17 or something. They were laughing cause she looks just like her mother. I don't like watching people make fools of themselves, but I have to admit, it's sometimes funny.

Just my two cents.

Maria

[chip&dale&fun]

Yes, really have fallen off the face of the earth.

Take care....Later.....

[mickeymo]

We finished up Monday's 24 last night. Can't believe they are making me wait until next week to see another episode!!


I just finished it up too! I'm not sure I like watching it "live" I think I like watching it on DVD - don't have to wait so long...

[TiggerInNY]

Just for fun went over to the DCL site to price out our cruise. Cat 7's (which we are in) are still available. If the two of us were to book today it would be $1600 more than when we booked it onboard back in Dec. 2004. :eek:

Mary, funny you should post that. I did the same thing yesterday for us. We're in a CAT 6 and if we were to book now, there's only 2 staterooms at that level left, it would be about $3000 :scared1: more than what we paid in January 2005!!! Amazing.

Maria

[mickeymo]

Second, I have just finished a full evening of scanning in the entire DCL booklet they sent, all 50-60 pages. I'll put it together into something a lot more presentable tomorrow and should have something up tomorrow night. :)

:worship: :worship: I can't believe you'd do that for us poor unfortunate souls that have to resort to acting like two year olds because we haven't received our booklets yet... :worship: :worship: :love2: :hug:

We're going to pay off our balance next week so, we'll talk to our TA.

Until then, let's see acting like a 2 year old - I'm up to crying, whining, stomping my feet, doing the dead cockroach, holding my breath until my face turns blue, and sticking my lower lip out looking absolutely pitiful...

[mickeymo]

No Cat 11's broom closets left and a cat 10 is well over double what we paid for our cat 11 last February.

[ohiominnie]

I love you guys! All this talk about checking DCL.com and comparing prices got me thinking....


So I checked. I SAVED $3386 by booking this cruise early!!!! WOW!

PLUS....I noticed that our FAVORITE stateroom is open again. It wasn't when we booked so we "settled" for one near it....

But it's open now.

Called DCL, but it wasn't showing up b/c I was "holding" it by being in DCL's site, so I have to wait 10 minutes and call them back! :)

OK - Interesting that a Cat 5 is less than a Cat 6......

Also interesting that our Cat 3 is cheaper than either a 5 or 6..... Glad we booked early too...... The prices are for 3 adults and 1 tween....

can't tell you! still trying to get it from DCL. it's still being "held"...possibly because I clicked on it when I put in my dummy reservation. grrrr.

I'll tell you after I get it! :)

Irene, where did you go?

[ohiominnie]

Maria

WOOOOOO-HOOOOOO!!!

Got it! Stateroom 6060. It's our favorite b/c it's the one we FIRST cruised it. Kinda like "home." (although it was 6060 on the Wonder, not the Magic)

An added bonus is that we are now a couple of extra staterooms away from Sir Scuba so I won't have to take his abuse....as much! http://dkeddy.com/pictures/1poke.gif

A TOP shared with Maria, my favorite stateroom and Sir Scuba :)

[ohiominnie]

Mary, could you change me from 6056 to 6060 on the Double Scoop webpage please? THX!

And Maria....we are now nearly DIRECTLY across the hall from one another! :)

And I'm right NEXT to Disneydizz (Jodi) :)

[BWVPam]

My cruise is now $3,500 more than what I paid. I only paid $3,200 to begin with. Right about now I sure wish we had gone ahead and purchased the room with the verandah instead of our inside cat. 10. However, that other money will pay for our excursions.

Mary/Mark -- I like the cone they way you did it without the island names. That looks pretty cool

[justmestace]

Wow...took me a while to catch up, just since last night. I had written a long post last night, and after I clicked "Submit" I found that they had closed the Boards. Bummer.

I must be the only one who liked the bags WITH the names of the islands.....:confused3
As far as the lettering....black or gold...doesn't matter.
I like the islands on there, because it will always remind us of where we went.
But I want to hear another opinion on why you like it the other way....maybe I'm not seeing or thinking something. Honest.


I love the idea that we are SAVING money by going on this cruise. That's MY KIND OF THINKING! Same as when I get something on sale......"But Jay, look at how much money I saved!". LOL

[ohiominnie]

I like the islands on there, because it will always remind us of where we went.
But I want to hear another opinion on why you like it the other way....maybe I'm not seeing or thinking something. Honest.

My orignal point (although I meant it sarcastically, but Mary liked it so I'm sticking with it) was that if we DON'T go to Cozumel we'll forever have "Cozumel" on the bag. I REALLY want to go there, but I'm not holding my breath. I know DCL will do whatever is best for us and the reputation of DCL. :)

So my original idea was just meant to be a "what if" we don't go to Cozumel kinda thing (hence I said take a Sharpie and fill in the islands when we actually dock there!)

I *do* like the island names on there b/c you can see CC twice....whereas the new design, unless you know what "double dip" means, ppl will have no idea we went there twice. Then again, those are ppl who aren't in our group so WHO CARES WHAT THEY THINK!?!?!?!?

[scuba diver]

Irene, where did you go?

Maybe she is heading to WDW for V&A on Saturday night. Getting a early start?

[scuba diver]

Is that closer to our stateroom?

Guess I missed the white type. Sorry to hear you are moving from us. We will all be so disappointed. :rotfl:

[ohiominnie]

whew. he didn't notice the white type. that was a close one! :)

I forgot - must e-mail the TA - she said it was being sent out Monday (ok, I know there was no mail delivery), so it should be here by now.....I will stamp feet :paw: :paw: :paw: one more day and send e-mail reminder Monday - or maybe today.....

Mine is 6142 ---- only stateroom for Jan and Nov. 2005 cruise. For May - same location - one deck above.

Hi Diana - I wish Sir Scuba was right and we were at V/A's....have been traveling for business - long days, long nights - to west coast and back - lunch on the road etc.

And trying to get the Christmas decorations put away.

Thanks for noticing I was missing.... :grouphug:

[justmestace]

Unless there's another (biting my tongue and fingers) hurricane between now and May...there's no way we aren't going to Cozumel. We were there in December, and they were already making GREAT strides to be back up and running. The only thing that will still not be ready for us by May is the pier. We'll still be tendering. But they have that down to a science...and huge, nice tender boats.
I can't say for certain, but I am 99.999999 % postive that even Chankanaab and the dolphins will be ready by May. Those people are true workers, and want to start making some good money again. And they aren't blaming God or anyone else for their misfortune. (hear that, New Orleans??)



Dare I even think that we may end up back in our DCL home??? Ohhh, UPGRADE Fairy!! :wizard: :wizard: :worship: :worship:

[chip&dale&fun]

Everyone had better at some point - it is the real precruise packet with all the excursion and gift info. If you don't have one soon and are booked thru a TA, yell at them; they're holding onto it.

Mark - haven't gotten back as far as your post - but a Thank you in advance. :goodvibes

[chip&dale&fun]

Pam,

Glad to hear that Charley is home from the hospital. I hope you can get some rest now. I know how worn out Bruce was when I was in the hospital.

Ang

Pam - echoing what Ang posted -- glad he is back home....Will try to find your original post and check on details. :)

[tinksdad]

I'm with Stacey! I've heard from other sources that they project that one of the piers will even be rebuilt by April of so. Don't know if that is the one that DCL uses, but it does show progress.

I believe that we will make our scheduled stop in Cozumel!! :cheer2:

Thanks for the setup on the TOP Stacey!! http://www.dkeddy.com/pictures/monkeypirate.jpg

[chip&dale&fun]

How many of you are staying around WDW after the cruise? I want to talk my DH into staying for a few days he thinks we might get to tired for that. What do you all think? :confused3

We will be going home. Our flower and garden trip is planned for April...Hope Everest will be open...Plus we are thinking of diving the Living Seas then....if I can get reservations.

[tinksdad]

Alicia and I dove there with Jim and Matt almost two years ago now. It was a hoot! Alicia spent the entire dive blowing kisses to the kids and grandma's behind the glass.

You can get a discount I believe by using your Disney Visa. I know that SSI and PADI have a discount as well.

http://allearsnet.com/btp/tour_div.htm

Good to hear about Cozumel. I hope we go there too. Want to do the ruins. Of course, Nick wants to do the dolphins. He's the youngest, he gets trumped! ;)

We're doing the ruins with Mark and Mary. I feel even better about that, now that I heard the boat over there and the bus, are air conditioned!!
Plus...we'll have our nifty bags to put drinks and snacks in!!

[Dancind]

Actually, the discount our group used for the Living Seas was the DVC discount. Irene, you have that, right?

[RachelTori]

I have just finished a full evening of scanning in the entire DCL booklet they sent, all 50-60 pages. I'll put it together into something a lot more presentable tomorrow and should have something up tomorrow night. :)

Thanks, Mark! I know I'm not going to get the KIT from my TA. (1st and LAST time I ever use her!) :confused3



Disney Fans: We love living in Georgia too! We've lived here 18 years already (YIKES!!) - 17 years in Cobb County (Marietta) and now one year in Gwinnett County (loving it!). The biggest complaint I have about metro Atlanta.........TRAFFIC!!

Hmm, trying to remember. Maybe we were going to use the DVC discount for Dive Quest, but Jim got the same discount for Disney Visa, so he booked it. I'm a little fuzzy on dive things.

The secret to dealing with Server Busy, keep the posts short.

Still trying to catch up - and the back button would not work - server busy - lost place-

Shirts - mark - I liked the background color and the cone that you had posted - that had the islands. Sorry, but I like the islands.

[chip&dale&fun]

Second post on shirts to keep it short.

OK I broke my promise that I would not comment on logos, shirts or bags....but would go with the group consensus.

[kikipug]

:banana: :banana: :banana: I JUST PAID OFF MY CRUISE!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana:


Let me rephrase that... I just gave my TA my cc# to charge the rest of it to my Disney Visa so that I can get more Reward Dollars... then I'll transfer it to my line of credit for the (much) better interest rate and pay it off with my tax return...

Maybe NOW I'll get my 'magical mailing'... she said that she's gotten lots of them, but not mine. :guilty:

Cruise questions.... We aren't really planning on doing any DCL excursions... but I was looking at them anyway.

Is the Chakannab snorkeling off of a boat, or just out in their snorkelling area? If it's from land, how on earth can they justify that price... last time we were there, we took a cab for $10 (4 of us... $2.50 each) and brought our snorkel gear... a far cry from $47 each!

And a HAPPY DANCE :banana: :banana: :banana: TOP to end my work day!!

[chip&dale&fun]

Hi all -- Charley came home from the hospital last night. He has to go back next week for follow-up visits with cardiologist and nuerologist and our regular doctor, but at least he is home. He can go back to work on Monday if he is feeling up to it.

Gotta run for now.

Pam - Found it - Great news and continued good wishes and pixie dust for Charlye. :wizard:

This is for Kikikaren :badpc: and me.

[chip&dale&fun]

I believe the Chankannab snorkeling is from in the park...

We did the Catamaran and the kids had a blast - I was a bit concerned as a lifeguard (lifeguard + mom = extremely parinoid combination.) because the current was extremely strong where we stopped to snorkel. Several families and kids were having a hard time making it back to the ladder. The photographer fed the fish to get photos and once she finished, the fish disappeared. But, from the kids' perspective the beach was lots of fun as well as the party on the way back...

Not sure what we're doing, yet. We may just go hang out at Chankannab...

[TiggerInNY]

We are not planning on doing any excursions, either. The only thing my DH wants to do is the parasailing at CC. I think my DS (AJ,10) wants to join him in a tandum sail. Other than that, I think the only thing we'll do is the Chakannab beach. My guys are too young for ruins or castles. Maybe next time. I know my little guy (Anthony,6) will not stay more than a couple of hours looking at anything educational.

I booked our trip in Dec for the May 27th cruise and did a search to find some info - I had no idea all of this was going on - wow!.

We cannot wait for the cruise. My oldest will be 10 and my little one will have just turned 3 on the 21st. Hopefully he will be potty trained for the oceaneer club. Has anyone had exprience with the club and a newly trained 3 yr old. I'm stressing a little over this. We would love a little down time. Thanks again.

[Hedgie]

I have arrived at Stacey's house...safe and sound. Had a lot of fun with the Tink family, Kevin, Diana and Alicia!!

We are going now to take the dog to the vet. I hope they don't see me, and give me a shot, I don't like shots.

Mrs. Ohiominnie, please tell Nick I am sorry he had to go to the dentist today and I hope he feels better!

Scoopie - I am really glad that you are having fun and traveling around to meet everyone. I cannot wait to see you again when we cruise.

Your Friend....Hedgie...

PS - Irene still hasn't posted our pictures of our cruise together. She is very lazy and complains about having to work.....when she could be posting pictures of a cute Hedgehog and cone - geeze....

We cannot wait for the cruise. My oldest will be 10 and my little one will have just turned 3 on the 21st. Hopefully he will be potty trained for the oceaneer club. Has anyone had exprience with the club and a newly trained 3 yr old. I'm stressing a little over this. We would love a little down time. Thanks again.

Welcome Aboard.....Sorry -- I cannot help with the kids either....But just wait, I am sure someone can. Plus, you may want to search the main thread - this is an all too common subject.

Stressing is NOT ALLOWED..... :wave2:

Did you have them on late dining?

If so...I got them first!! HA HA HA :rotfl2:

Actually, those are the servers that we de-glued. We put the kids in their section, and us old fogies sat next door. They weren't really very nice to the kids/teens. If we do this again, I plan to have a little chat with the servers. As in, we'll still be tipping you as if we actually sat there, so please be nice to this table!

Amanda has a three year that I think has been in the club. Maybe it will be his first time too. oh, Amaaaaanda...

AH. No wonder they were so nice to us....because we weren't you guys! HA HA HA. Actually, Ancel was alright. Colin, IMHO, was awesome. Then again, he was great with the kids. If you're great with my kids, you're a-OK in my book! :)

Not sure what we're doing, yet. We may just go hang out at Chankannab...

That's our plan... when my sister and I went there a few years ago, we grabbed a cab, headed over to the park, and hung out all day- it was a great place to do a whole lot of nothing.

It was there that we met a couple who was on DCL, who raved and raved and raved about it... they convinced me that I HAD to do it... that was 3 years ago, and we're finally getting there.

(Gotta remember, we got sidetracked by moving 1400 miles away in between... that slowed us down a bit.)
