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

[dzneprincess]

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:

Thanks Laura! I keep trying to tell myself that things all work out...but it is sooo frustrating...right now I just feel like waving my white flag and saying I surrender you win!

[dzneprincess]

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!

Not officially for sure, ut yeah pretty much! LOL I have a feeling the cost is going to be bad! But even if it werent, there is no way I would want to deal with a trans-atlantic flight with 4 kids (heck the price of that alone would probably equal a 7 day cruise for us!)

[Disney Fans]

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..



They are both cute photos !!
I love animals so I think they are all cute!! :love:

[dzneprincess]

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!!

I am waiting for bated breath for the Madonna dates and cities! She hit ATL on her last 2 tours so hopefully she will do so again!!!!! the only question is ticket prices she is not known for cheap tickets...sigh...how come I am destined to live a champagne life on a beer budget??!?!?!I needd to win the mega millions...did you see it is at $212 milllion??

[dzneprincess]

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:

simple priorites..what matters most? kids or this thread??? easy answer..ignore kids:lmao:

[Disney Fans]

Not officially for sure, ut yeah pretty much! LOL I have a feeling the cost is going to be bad! But even if it werent, there is no way I would want to deal with a trans-atlantic flight with 4 kids (heck the price of that alone would probably equal a 7 day cruise for us!)


For sure because we only have two kids and it is costly! I wonder if it will really be more for those who live over in Europe?

How long of drive is it for you to go to WDW? I am thinking around 8 hours if I recall correctly? :confused3
Would you all ever move from GA if you needed too?
Oh man here I go again thinking about the move, I need to slap myself :mad:

[dzneprincess]

They are both cute photos !!
I love animals so I think they are all cute!! :love:you know how to add it to your siggy if you want??

[tinksdad]

But we ARE going to have quite the "Princess Parade" at dinner, aren't we??
Gosh, you are SO right about that!!! :rotfl2: I must remember to bring the camera to dinner!! :teeth:

[Disney Fans]

you know how to add it to your siggy if you want??


yea, that would be cool! How do I do that?

[dzneprincess]

For sure because we only have two kids and it is costly! I wonder if it will really be more for those who live over in Europe?

Would you all ever move from GA if you needed too?
Oh man here I go again thinking about the move, I need to slap myself :mad:We are 400 miles to Orlando...Once I hit Orlando I stop couting because in my eyes I am there! LOL On a really good trip with only 1 stop for gas I can get there in about 6 hours...on a normal trip with all the hooligans with me and potty breaks it is a little over 7 hours...It takes me just as long to get to I-75 S in Valdosta as it does to get from Valdosta to Orlando! LOL Yes we would move from GA Our ultimate goal s to get to FLA....hopefully Melborne or Cocoa Beach......

[dzneprincess]

Gosh, you are SO right about that!!! :rotfl2: I must remember to bring the camera to dinner!! http://disboards.com/images/smilies/teeth.gifwell lookie who decided to join the party!

[tinksdad]

I am waiting for bated breath for the Madonna dates and cities!
Would you like a breath mint??? :scratchin

[dzneprincess]

yea, that would be cool! How do I do that?right click on one of ours, and click properties....copy the url it should be monorailgreen something since Mark is hosting it....then go to quick links in upper right and click on edit signature...... when that screen comes up click the tiny picture that looks like a montaina range and paste the url there and click ok and save signature...tadaa

[tinksdad]

well lookie who decided to join the party!
Just checking in. Thanks for noticing though... :eek:

[dzneprincess]

Would you like a breath mint??? :scratchinaww shcks I meant I am waiting with bated breath...but yes I will take a mint if you have one...you know what they say never turn down a mint or gum chances are you need it if the other person is offering it! :teeth:

[dzneprincess]

Just checking in. Thanks for noticing though... :eek:should I not notice??:teeth:

4 TOPS in a row guess I should shut my trap

pdfg :tink:

[dzneprincess]

PS I am still offering kids for cruise fare....

[dzneprincess]

PS I am still offering kids for cruise fare....:crazy2:

[dzneprincess]

wow looks like I have begun repeating myself now...guess I hae scared every1 away even HH

[Disney Fans]

I have been tying to add the photos and no luck when I get to the little mountain thing. But now I guess I need to get go cause my DH is now yelling for me to come and watch a movie with him. I will try later and thanks and talk to you soon !!!

[justmestace]

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.

Hey, hey, hey!!! I resemble that remark!!!!

[justmestace]

Holeeeeeey Cow! I finally got all caught up.
Welcome, welcome to ALL of the new families! How exciting is this?

Amanda, I tried to GIVE my kids away on here once...including free shipping, no takers.

So here is my reply to all the posts:
Yes! No. Not hot. Haven't seen that. Didn't go there. Can't afford it. LOL Cute pics! No Med. Drew over Louie, no matter which Drew & Louie it is. Snorkeling & ruins. Work should not interfere with cruising. Dinner at a great place. I'm sorry. Glasses..bummer. Scoopie. Makes me sad too. AND....I WILL get even with Sir Scuba.
Whew!

[justmestace]

So I brought Megan with me to share this guilt trip...for protection and to deflect some of the criticism....unbeknownst to her. Or so I thought. She figured it out by day two...and was ready to go home. By now, she's so mad for dragging her along on this joy trip, she has threatened to put a pillow over my face while I sleep. So....if you hear something on the news....make sure that they do an autopsy. It was murder.

[justmestace]

Linda, it just dawned on me....right now we're neighbors. I'm in Omaha visiting my parents. Where in Iowa are you?

[justmestace]

Not sure I miss the two younger kids yet.....but I REALLY miss Jay. Nothing like absence to make the heart grow fonder.
And at least he doesn't wake me up in the middle of the night to tell me that I'm snoring. I'm sneaking Tylenol PM into Megan's water tonight....at least I'll get some sleep.
And I don't snore, anyway.

[DVCcruise]

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 any one has done this before, or has any information on it, we would appreciate your thoughts. :scratchin
A few families are doing the ruins with David and Ivan. They run a local tour...here's the website: www.chacchobenruins.com. Our family is doing an 8:30 tour for 1/2 day. They have great reviews if you'd like to look them up on the main boards.

[justmestace]

Looks like we're going home in the nick of time...the weather is turning cold again. Guess I'll take my nice weather back to AZ.
I do kind of like it here, though....I've been "carded" twice. Was told they have to ask everyone who appears to be under age 30. No kidding! And some lady asked Megan last night if I was her sister. Gotta love that!

[justmestace]

Going to bed...eyes are closing. My goal has been met....I wanted Post # 27777,,,,,those Lucky Sevens!

Hi Susan! Late for you, isn't it? I've heard good things about David and Ivan.

'Night! Miss everyone!!!

[scuba.mom]

IBetter order another GPS bracelet, Jordan's bringing a friend, remember?? Matt's going to be out-numbered. Good thing we have at least a couple more teen boys going! But we ARE going to have quite the "Princess Parade" at dinner, aren't we??

To be followed by the "Princesses in Training"(Pre-teen) Parade!!!

Yes, I am up early. We are off to Tampa this morning for Lisa Gymnastics Meet and Jim is running a 5k in Tampa as well. So, I am having breakfast while I read before we start our early day.

[dobelover]

Good Morning All - This is early for you, Sharon. Good luck to Jim and Lisa.




Sue

[itdjbw]

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 ;)

Sorry to hear that, we were looking forward to having you here. I'm sure things will work out.

[itdjbw]

Julia
I am here what type of rest is Bridgetown?

It has jamaican kind of food, jerk seasoniong etc, just felt like something different, mostlw served with plaintains etc.

[itdjbw]

Amanda,

Bridgetown is Caribbean!! Julia, you must be getting ready for a cruise, eh?!! :goodvibes

Yip and we mostly discussed cruising as our friends who live diagnally to us and were neighbours in our last house just got back from a 4 night RCCL and were very disapointed with the food and service.

[itdjbw]

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:

My company seems to be constantly reorganizing and our dept just did, I was one of the few moved and still deciding if it is a good move or not, I will get to do some traveling for this project, mostly to Chicago with my first trip around the middle of March.

[itdjbw]

Yes I know all about the darn comp reorgs...we are awaiting anouncement of surplus on the 15th.....we know it is coming we just just dontknow how many and who....kinda stinks since our fianl payment is due on the 10th...one reason I have been holding off telling the kids about this cruise...it will really stink if I send final payment to CC on 10th only to be told layoff on 15th ya know...


Hopefully that won't happen and at least the cruise will be paid for - hence best to just go and enjoy it either way!!

pixiedust: pixiedust: and :grouphug: for you

[dobelover]

My company seems to be constantly reorganizing and our dept just did, I was one of the few moved and still deciding if it is a good move or not, I will get to do some traveling for this project, mostly to Chicago with my first trip around the middle of March.


The traveling was what I enjoyed most about my last job. My career was winding down so I could pretty much pick the location and length of stay.



Sue

[itdjbw]

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!!

On the night of September 10th DH and I were flying back from Biloxi MS, we were at the world trade centre in the July, the line to go up to the observation tower was over 3 hours long so we decided to wait for our next trip, we had been before but the kids had never, we learnt not to put off some stuff for next time!!

[WDWLVR]

Good morning Cruisers!


We sail in 13 weeks!
party: Woo Hoo - another week closer to cruising! party:

[dobelover]

I have been over the shore excursions many times. The only one I will book in advance is on CC with the stingrays. Nick and Liz can go, Jeanne and I will enjoy the view. In Costa Maya and Coz (or wherever) we will see what is there. Nick loves the beach so he won't be hard to please. Sue

[itdjbw]

We are 400 miles to Orlando...Once I hit Orlando I stop couting because in my eyes I am there! LOL On a really good trip with only 1 stop for gas I can get there in about 6 hours...on a normal trip with all the hooligans with me and potty breaks it is a little over 7 hours...It takes me just as long to get to I-75 S in Valdosta as it does to get from Valdosta to Orlando! LOL Yes we would move from GA Our ultimate goal s to get to FLA....hopefully Melborne or Cocoa Beach......

My DH goal was to move to FL, he really likes Boca and hence he is in ATL hoping to afford it one day but a change of plan since we visited Australia last year he is now hoping to convince me to move to Brisbane, I said I would go if the kids were happy to go and if I could go with big $$$$$ so I would not have to work or want for anything - I sure know how to rain on his parade!!!! Plus we would have to get all our cruising done as it is really expensive to cruise there, plus, plus, plus!!!

[lunsusie]

A few families are doing the ruins with David and Ivan. They run a local tour...here's the website: www.chacchobenruins.com. Our family is doing an 8:30 tour for 1/2 day. They have great reviews if you'd like to look them up on the main boards.


Thanks for the link, Susan. I'll take a look.

Good luck for Lisa and Jim and you for having such an early morning and long drive!!

[itdjbw]

The traveling was what I enjoyed most about my last job. My career was winding down so I could pretty much pick the location and length of stay.



Sue

I'm kind of looking forward to it too, I have been up there to our office before and done some travel before but nothing regular. It will be good to have some time to read and relax in the evenings. The kids are getting older and DH helps with carting them around etc so they probably won't even miss me!!

[itdjbw]

Good morning Cruisers!

Whoo hoo it's getting close!!!

[itdjbw]

I am not booking anything, we are just going to hang out at the beach and snorkle at CC, we have been to CM a couple of times before and hopefully hope not to get off in Coz.

[tinksdad]

Looks like we're going home in the nick of time...the weather is turning cold again. Guess I'll take my nice weather back to AZ.

Tell Megan THAT's why you brought her! :hyper:

[itdjbw]

Oh I forgot, My friends cruise went to Coz, they tendered in and she said it was really bad, she also said the people were really haggling to sell stuff and it was very unpleasant. I never asked if they went to the beach or anything but will.

[tinksdad]

To be followed by the "Princesses in Training"(Pre-teen) Parade!!!

Yes, I am up early. We are off to Tampa this morning for Lisa Gymnastics Meet and Jim is running a 5k in Tampa as well. So, I am having breakfast while I read before we start our early day.
Cool!! I do love a good parade!! And TWO, wow!! :rotfl2: :banana:

[dobelover]

I am not booking anything, we are just going to hang out at the beach and snorkle at CC, we have been to CM a couple of times before and hopefully hope not to get off in Coz.



I am looking forward to the beach time! Park Jeanne under an umbrella with an umbrella drink ;) then Liz, Nick and I will get in the water. Story about Liz, she had never been in the warm, gentle 'caribbean' ocean til Bermuda. Then when we were in GC last month she walked right in. Can't get her out now! I took pix so her DH would believe me.




Sue

[RachelTori]

How long of drive is it for you to go to WDW? I am thinking around 8 hours if I recall correctly? :confused3
Would you all ever move from GA if you needed too?
Oh man here I go again thinking about the move, I need to slap myself :mad:

In Atlanta, depends where you live as to how long a drive. With no traffic problems it would be about 8 hours. The tricky part is for those of us who have to drive THROUGH Atlanta :eek:

We would have no problem leaving GA, but would depend "where" we were moving TO!!!! My DH is from northeastern SD (yes, South Dakota!!!) and I can honestly tell you that's one place I've crossed off my list!!!!

[ljml]

Linda, it just dawned on me....right now we're neighbors. I'm in Omaha visiting my parents. Where in Iowa are you?

We live about 1 hour south of Omaha-I am
potentially travelling to Omaha today to shop/run errands-depending on how Meighan feels (been a little under the weather lately)-I will PM you if we go-it would be fun to meet or chat on the phone (I have an Omaha area code cell phone). Tell your family hello :wave: , I wish we would have had a repeat of yesterday's weather.......Sunday is supposed to be around the 50s.

[tchrmom]

We are off to Tampa this morning for Lisa Gymnastics Meet
Good Luck to Lisa!!!! pixiedust:

Kel competed last night and did VERY well..........even pulled off a 9.075 on the beam, WITH a fall!!!!! (something she has NEVER done in a competition! :eek: )

Her gym even took first place. :cool1:

We're just happy to have a Sat. at home. :)

Guess we'll be setting our alarm for 3:00 AM so that we can go online and make our ressies tonight. Anyone else that crazy?????

Happy Sat. to all!

:teacher:

[mickeymo]

Yep, I'm setting the alarm so dh can get up and make reservations- he doesn't know that small detail yet....

oh, and honey - if you're lurking - you're supposed to be paying attention to the professor - not dissing... :rotfl2:

[mickeymo]

Still not sure if we're registering for shore excursions. Just hanging out sounds appealing... Kids have already said they'd rather be in the clubs...We will make Palo brunch and dinner reservations...

[tinksdad]

Good Luck to Lisa!!!! pixiedust:

didn't say they were good ways..... :crazy2: :duck:

[WDWLVR]

Cruise Question!


So we were talking on the way to grocery shopping this morning. Who is planning on dressing up for Pirate night? If a lot of the group is we're up for it. If not we're cool with that too. So who is going to dress up.

[WDWLVR]

We plan on going to church tonight so I can get up in the middle of the night, make our reservations and then sleep in tomorrow morning.


We are looking at High Tea at Palo, the Stingrays on CC, and jet skis on CC.

[tinksdad]

Tux, suit, pirate outfit, scuba gear. It's ALL in there!!!

Mary,

We would love to dress up, but I know we will just end up wearing "tropical" attire -- or a shirt with flowers on it, anyway!! :lmao:

I saw so many wonderful Pirate costumes at MNSSHP; wish I had the talent/creativity/patience.... :worship:

[RachelTori]

3 a.m. - wonder how long it will actually take to get through????

(server busy; server busy; server busy......)


And a TOP to go with the busy server!!!

Last year I took some hats and stuff for the kids, they didn't care about wearing them cause there friends didn't dress, may take some this time or may just make some T-shirts for us all to wear with our bandanas etc.

[dzneprincess]

We will just be doing tropical attire as well... I try to pack as light as possible, and I will never forget when we went on the Halloween cruise, I had to have one entire suitcase JUST for our costumes and another one just for the treats we handed out for the DIS trick ot treat...I never want to do that again! LOL I cant believe we are only 13 weeks away! WOW

[RachelTori]

Hi, Amanda! So, how did you do on Mega Millions last night? I came out as usual - nada!!!

[RachelTori]

We have sat for 4 hours just trying to get thru ATL traffic on a Friday afternoon and now try leave around noon especially on a Friday so we can miss the rush 5 hour!!!

Rush hour on a typical (non-holiday weekend) Friday starts between 2:30-3:00 :eek: The window between the morning/evening *rush* continues to shrink!!

[dzneprincess]

Hi, Amanda! So, how did you do on Mega Millions last night? I came out as usual - nada!!!

well...you see there is a flaw in my plan......in order to win the mega millions you actually have to buy a ticket!!!!!!!!!No one told me that! HAHA

[itdjbw]

Rush hour on a typical (non-holiday weekend) Friday starts between 2:30-3:00 :eek: The window between the morning/evening *rush* continues to shrink!!

That's what I was saying we have 5 hours of rush in the morning and 5 hours in the afternoon with very little in between and all the road works are killing our traffic even more!!

[itdjbw]

Okay I'm going to check DH ticket which is something we seldon do, he buys them every week but then we don't check them - I'm sure by now we should have got the big one or even a little one would be good.

[WDWLVR]

Its the same up here in Chicago which is why Mark switched to a job without as much driving. It seems like you go right from morning rush to afternoon rush with no let down in the middle. I'm lucky in that I only have a 7 or 8 minute commute to work and none of it is on a major road.

[itdjbw]

Nothing for us last night but I checked some others and got $7.00 from the 2/17/06 draw.
Nothing to help those dream trips come true so back to work I go come Monday!!

Mary, I'm so jealous. I think it takes us about 8 minutes just to get out of our subdivision :rotfl2: (that's actually me on the floor crying, kicking & screaming!)



Julia, I'm sure you've heard about the newest road project - 3 years to reconfigure the Hwy 316 and I-85 interchange. Most places I need to go require that I use that interchange :eek: I'm either going to have to learn some "back roads" or just stay home for 3 years! :crazy2:

Yes, I have heard about the one, you will need lots of pixiedust: for the next 3 years.
I deal with 400 everyday going to work, it takes about 15-20 min to the office but last week took me 1.5 hours when there was a diesel spill!! I was not a happy camper!!

[itdjbw]

You're $7 ahead of me and Amanda!!!

But DH spends minimum of $6.00 a week he has something about buying 3 tickets a time :confused3 it hasn't brought him any luck either :confused3
So how far behing you are we??

We will probably do tropical wear on pirate night. pirate:

Cruise Question!


So we were talking on the way to grocery shopping this morning. Who is planning on dressing up for Pirate night? If a lot of the group is we're up for it. If not we're cool with that too. So who is going to dress up.

I will probably just wear the pirate T-Shirt I got at Key West and my DW will just wear something tropical...I don't know what my DD will do..probably something tropical. :cool1:

Just checking in all. We have been at the swim meet. Got a break for a few hours, so I decided to drive home so Ashley could rest before finals tonight. Her relay team came in first and she qualified for finals in the other three events she could swim in. So tonight she will be in the 50 back, 200 back and the 100 breast. Finals start at 5, so I hope we will be home by 8 tonight so I can go sleep for a few hours before getting up at 1 am to do our reservations (Mountain time), then we have to be back at the pool by 7 tomorrow morning and it is about a 40 minute drive from our house. We will have another round of prelims tomorrow with 3 events and will have to wait and see if she finals in any of those. She is doing well, so I think she has a good shot. Of course by tomorrow morning, she may be exhausted, I know I will.


Good luck with everyone getting resv. tonight. Will check back in later.

[itdjbw]

Fine, NOW you tell me.... :lmao: :lmao:

Thanks, I am just trying to prepare to make our booking even thou I will probably forget to make them later.

[Dancind]

Alicia and Kevin have pirate costumes, I don't. Well, I've got a t-shirt. They will probably bring them on the cruise. I think I have a lot less stuff than anyone else in my family (no scuba gear!).

Still have not decided what to do on Cozumel. Tulum sounds like a long day. Guess I'd better decide soon, huh? I think I am already registered on the DCL site. Can anyone tell that we are on our third DCL cruise? I don't even have a spread sheet this time!

[tinksdad]

We got an "Islandgram" from DCL today and they are talking about a Pirate Scavenger Hunt on Castaway Cay for families. If you want to take part you will get a map the night before the ship arrives with clues.

Sounds like yet another way to have fun on CC!!! :Pinkbounc :woohoo:

Yes, normal delivery. Didn't give more details. I guess the website, or on board they will have more info.

[itdjbw]

DH brought the mail.'m getting off the couch to go check and see if there is anything exciting for me besides bills :goodvibes

[itdjbw]

No disney mail for me.................. :confused3 :sad:

[Disney Fans]

Hey Everyone!

We are coming in the night before the cruise. What time should we try and get to the ship? When will they starting letting us check in and board?
When we have gone before it was the land and sea so Disney took us to the Wonder about 1:00pm so I don't know if we should try and get there before then? :confused3

[mickeymo]

it depends...

Some are planning on getting there early at terminal opening (around 9:00?) to be onboard as soon as possible (around noon) Others a leisurely sleep in breakfast and stroll in the port and onboard mid afternoon.

Several also have either Radisson shuttle reservations at 10:00 or 10:30 and/or rental car shuttle plans in the morning too...

A week or so ago, we've also talked about a mini-meet at Grills before breakfast before heading to the port.

Probably the majority will be at port between 11:00 and noon...

As for us - we have plans for all three - Radisson shuttle ressies at 10:00, dh plans to drop us off at port then return rental car. Not sure which we will actually do, so went ahead and made the Radisson reservations. We're also planning on an early breakfast at Grills - or, I'm planning on getting the family up early for breakfast...I'll be too excited to sleep in!!!

[mickeymo]

DH brought the mail.'m getting off the couch to go check and see if there is anything exciting for me besides bills :goodvibes


Just sent the dd and the dog to go check mail (is there a finger's crossed smilie???) - hopefully, I won't have to start the breath-holding, foot-stomping, whining and dying cockroach routine again. Still haven't received the planning kit - Thanks to Mark, I can have a virtual planning kit! I'm so glad you put that up!

[mickeymo]

Trying to decide if it's worth booking in at WDW post cruise for Saturday night and doing 2 days at the parks - our flight leaves at 8:00pm Sunday. Just looked at the WDW website - POC will be closing for refirbishment on 6/3... :sad: Couldn't they wait just one day - for me, pretty please???? Went I went 2 years ago, I missed It's a Small world by a day, too... Don't they realize, I'm visiting???

[CajunGirl2]

Hi all! Just checking in today .. well, I've been catching up on posts all day & am finally caught up!

MegaMillions ... we play at work ... 18 of us chip in $2 each ... actually the whole office minus 1 person. We only play when it gets about $120M ... greedy aren't we???

Decided to go ahead & get passports. I need to take care of that this week, hopefully. I just need a renewal as mine expired last year. Everyone else will need a new one. This just means that we'll have to go out of the country again to make them worthwhile.

No pirate gear for us ... too much to pack.

Good luck to everyone making ressies tonight! We still have another 15 days to wait to make ours.

Going out for Mexican tonight. I'll catch up again later.

Angie, which mexican do you go to, we have not enjoyed the last few we have tried and unfortunately don't go too often as it is not DH favorite.
I hope I remember to make our ressies tonigh/tomorrow.

We are booked on the 12pm shuttle, DH decided the kids can swim at the hotel so as long as we get our ressies done before we will be fine and hopefully have no wait to get onboard.

[McFamily2]

The stingray excursion on CC....

Once again, the age limit is 5 and my DS won't be 5 until Aug. Is there a place he can go and get up close without the snorkeling part? I assume the snorkeling part is the reason there is an age limit. (But then again there is a age limit of 5 on the float rental also)

Off to a PTA Bowling night tonight!!! :woohoo:

[yippeeDCL]

:wave2: This has been a day!!! OF ALL DAYS...my computer crashed this a.m.!!! :badpc: :eek: I've lost lots of info but, I was much more concerned that I would not be able to make my ressies....

I decided it was time for a new one! I'll have the old one repaired and the kids will now have their own.

Gotta go sign on DCL...just to calm my nerves! :wave2:

[WDWLVR]

Alarm is set for 1:30. My notes are on my desk and I'm ready to book. :)


We went to church tonight so I can sleep in tomorrow morning.

[dzneprincess]

Have fun ladies!I feel like yall are gonna have a slumber party w/o me! LOL but alas I am not PIF and I am not seeking any ressies..I hope it doesnt come back to bite me in the butt later!!eek

We frequent El Azteca - mainly because it's around the corner from the house & is family-friendly. They do have a few locations but I'm not sure if there is one near you.

I mentioned to DH that my sister wants us to spend the night with them the night before the cruise. Our plans may be changing. I'm going to talk to Emily's teacher. If they don't have parties on that last day, I think we'll pull her out at noon or earlier & head down to FL.

Amanda, before our cruise in September I didn't bother to make ressies, when I woke up I called DCL and was told they only release some of each thing for advance booking and keep some back for on-board. we went early to check in and booked when we got on board, there was no line and we never had a problem getting the ressie for Palo that we wanted, they year before we never got a booking but such is life, we had as good a time either way.

We have a Tiauana Joe's right outside pur SD but the last time we went there it was really bad and the time before so-so. We have tried a couple of others around here and weren't impressed but like the Los Bravos in Dunwoody althought we havent been for a while.

We were supposed to go to friends for dinner but she is not feeling well and DD is still hot and not feeling good and then caught her finger in the hinge side of the bathroom door so is not a happy camper.

Julia when did you cruise in Sept? Iwas on the Wonder on the 18th...

[dzneprincess]

Are we still gonna try and have a book exchange? And that reminds me..no one remembers the name of the book place you all were talknig about months ago? For the Ipod?

[itdjbw]

Julia when did you cruise in Sept? Iwas on the Wonder on the 18th...

We were on the Magic over the labor day weekend, I think we left on the 3rd, too many dates for me to remember in my old age.

Have you read any Janet Evanowich books, I love her 'Plum' books and have DH reading them now, to me reading is 'popcorn for the brain' I just like light fun stuff.

[itdjbw]

Checked with DH, it was the 3rd, this year we leave on the 2nd for 14 night cruising and I cannot wait for that.

[goingthedistance]

Yep, I knew this thread would have lots of activity!

I think that I will be taking my running gear, and at least running on the ship. I can just picture what my Garmin will be giving me if I do a run on a day at sea while the boat is moving. Probably won't be too accurate, huh? I imagine we would be able to run on the same path that the bikes use at CC, right? As for when I will get my runs in at CC, I guess that depends on my luck in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow. I would definitely enjoy some company on these runs.

Jim, I say sign up for the 1/2 in January at WDW. It is a nice medal and I actually enjoyed the half more than the full this year. The half was fun and fast, and there are parts of the full that I don't remember! I am thinking about going Goofy again next January, but it could be difficult to pull off another WDW trip after the cruise and the DL 1/2 in September.

Mary, I do not know if we will be packing our pirate costumes for the Pirate night. We bought some for last Halloween with the intention of using them on the cruise, but it will ultimately come down to available space in the luggage.

As far as dining is concerned, is it too late to get us linked up with the late dining group?

Good luck to everyone on getting their spa/excursion/palo ressies. 90 days and counting!!

I am later going to ask DH to help!! :worship:

[dobelover]

My dog has been outside barking and running around the house (fenced in yard) for 1/2 hour. This is the 3rd night in a row. Gonna call a hunter, trapper, exterminator, park ranger, doesn't matter. A family of something is moving around. I have smelled skunk for the last few mornings so maybe that is it. We were outside the fence today walking all around. Didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Yep! I want to book Polo brunch and the wine tasting? I don't really know of anything else? Since my Mom is coming with us and this will be her 1st trip, I don't want to leave her for any of the reg. dinner meals. So thats why I thought doing the Polo lunch would be nice?

[itdjbw]

We have never done Palo brunch, hmmm maybe we should try that.

[itdjbw]

DH says he would rather go for dinner and doesn't want to do both, he says once is enough.
So one less booking to worry about for me.

[RachelTori]

Seems like we have been deserted

I'm back! If I can stay up, I want to go into the website just to see that I can do it!!! We'd like to do a Palo dinner (maybe brunch too) so I might try to get those. DH wants to Parasail at CC so I'll try to get that booked tonight/tomorrow!

For me, it's more the thrill of "look, it worked!!!" :rotfl:

Good luck to everyone :goodvibes Lots of pixiedust: that y'all get what you're wishing for!!

Yes, You should! We did it on the 4 night Wonder and it was really fun. We had the kids in the kids club and had a nice peaceful lunch together! I think its nice to do it on one of the days a sea! :goodvibes

DH says he would rather go for dinner and doesn't want to do both, he says once is enough.

We've done the brunch - it was nice, but I can't eat huge quantities of food that early in the day!!! I would rather do the dinner -- and I want to make sure I try the chocolate souffle which I've heard so much about!!!

The chocolate souffle is devine, on the last cruise I ordered one to take to the cabin for the kids, DS ate his and DD both first thing in the morning and loved them, he does not have the same issue with eating in the morning that I do!!!

[DVCcruise]

You say you are moving to Al? Where, I am from Mobile. :sunny:
We are moving to Maxwell AFB in Montgomery. We're not quite sure which city we will live in, but it'll be in that area. How far is Mobile from there? Maybe we could meet while we're house hunting?

Good luck with your move (or no move). We always know we'll be moving which makes it a little easier. I guess we won't do a mini-meet. Oh well! Will you be down for Friday night dinner before the cruise? I'm looking forward to finally putting faces with this screen names.

No, we are not getting into MCO airport until late Friday and will need to wait on my mom flying in from Mobile. So we are going to stay near the airport and then go to ship this next day.
But maybe we can meet up on the ship. I have not added my name yet to the list but need to. I wasn't for sure we were going on this trip until this past week!! YAH pixiedust:

Hmm, why does SATC remind you of Buffy? A lot must happen later on! We just watched the second episode of the third season. Moving right along.

Hey,
Why do we have to wait until later in the night? Why not 12:00pm EST? Last year we were able to do it then(midnight EST) when they 1st started doing it for our May cruise of last year? I don't know if I can stay up another two hours :crazy2: :eek: :scared:

Hey A,
Did you see my thread to you earlier about not been able to add the photos?

[Disney Fans]

Is anybody out there :scared:

[justmestace]

Popping in to wish everyone good luck with their reservations!!

I have a pirate dress, Jay has a shirt and pirate hat....but the kids will only have pirate t-shirts.
Not bringing a particular "tropical" outfit, instead I have a Mickey dress.
Heading for bed. The plane doesn't leave here until 1:30, but I doubt if I'll get online before then.
Linda, sorry I didn't get to talk to you....didn't get my messages until we were just heading out to meet my niece.
Talk to everyone from HOME!

[WDWLVR]

My thinking is they want it at a time where it will be the same "day" for everyone east or west. Perhaps they got complaints in the early days that west coasters missed out because they didn't know what day to book.


As for us we are looking for 3 things:

High Tea at Palo - always a favorite of ours

Stingrays on CC -new and we love stingrays

Jet Skis on CC - missed out on these on the 10 day cruise when the excursions got cancelled.

Stacey - have a safe trip home!

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



Happy Sunday!






Since I'm up might as well do the good morning! :sunny:

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

Hi,
I have been SO busy lately (started a new work-at-home business) and everything else going on. I would like to ask if anyone can PM me any important information that I may have missed out on in the past week or so on this thread. I haven't had time to catch up and at this rate I doubt I ever will. :rotfl:

I would really appreciate a PM about anything "need to know"- such as about any scuba changes... I don't even know if we're still a go for Cozumel or if we're booking scuba somewhere else in case we go to that "somewhere else" instead of cozumel? info about the excursion bags and if we're supposed to order them now, any info or changes to dismeet on ship, etc. I would really appreciate it and heart you forever if you could do that for me! :)

hugs-

[tchrmom]

Fran - no I don't recall getting a pm. Just checked and it isn't in with the ones I saved for the may cruise. Can you resend in the morning.

Will do!

Sleep well!
Fran
:teacher:

[BWVPam]

Well -- I am a little upset that It won't let me do anything for Palo Brunch. Keeps saying I need to update filters and it won't let me. I guess I will try calling in tomorrow morning to see if I can add that. Do we just call the general DCL number or who do we call for that type of thing.


I am off to bed. Have an early morning back at the swimming pool tomorrow.

[scuba.mom]

Well.........got up and got everything we wanted! :banana:


Got parasailing on Sunday. 10:30 :woohoo:

Good, now maybe I can get some good rest. HAd a nightmare about missing it..................

Good night.hope every one else got what they wanted too. :sunny:

Mary, did you get my pm the other day?

Fran
:teacher:

Who from your family is parasailing at 10:30 on Sunday. Our whole family is booked on that excursion.

[scuba.mom]

We are set for reservations. The only ""glitch"" we ran into was because we are in two different rooms, Jim is all set for Palo dinner, but the time we had requested for Jim for Palo- 8pm on Tuesday was gone by the time I tried to make my reservation. I think we are good to go because it says the reservation is for one or two people. I will call on Monday to see if we can add my name to the reservation as well. Otherwise we are good to go:


Parasailing on Sunday @ 10:30
Banana Boats on Friday @ 10:30
Spa for me on Cozumel Day (if we are there)
Lisa all checked in. (Did you notice that because we have linked dining, the names of everyone in that group is listed as possible people to be responsible for the child being registered. Don't worry, I didn't check any of your names. BUT, Jim wanted me to check Stacy's)

[Mikem861]

YEA !! We got everything we wanted!!

Stingrays at CC Sun 1pm

Palo Brunch Mon 11am

Mayan Ruins tour with David and Ivan Tue 8am

Palo Dinner Tue 8:30 pm

Fury sail, snorkel and beach party Wed 12 noon (if we go to Cozumel)

Banana boat Fri 1pm!!


Back to bed for me!! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Mike :earsboy:

[scuba.mom]

Lisa's meet was very confusing, the combined Level 8's and Level's 9 together. The judges kept changing the order of when the gymnasts competed at their event. Instead of doing the normal rotation process, they would put all of the 8's first, then the 9's. The next group of judges would want the girls in order by which gym they were competing for, etc.

Anyhow, despite all of that, Lisa was first in the all around. She has one more meet next week to tune up for States the following weekend. That is the meet that really counts the most for her.

[Disney Fans]

Up and tired!!! :crazy2:

We got:

Palo Brunch

Palo High Tea

CC- Sting-Rays

CC-parasailing (hoping I can get my nerve up to do this one!! :eek:

and a couple of spa treatments( hoping I can do them pixiedust: )

Very Tired and going to BED!!! :crazy2: Are we all CRAZY!!!!!

Have a Good night everyone!!!!

[chip&dale&fun]

goodMorning All

Was able to log on from the hotel at 3:00 and got Polo dinner - but was unable to retrieve any other Polo ressie - so no brunch - kinda sad --- even still we have enjoyed thise twice and some folk have never tried. error messages from 3:15 to 4:00 and it now says booked....

Got Seahorse but not for the times we wanted...1:15 both days....the sytem will not let me check for availaiblity for other times...oh well.

More on the manatees later...great dive but today is a washout....


Take care......

[chip&dale&fun]

MANATEES - This was a great trip once the people left. There must have been 8 boats around 3 sisters springs - so we snorkled the springs first - then the main canal/river.

I was swimming along and bump - here is Mr/Mrs manatee - oh my, they are so large - what impressed me was their eyes - not at all like a large cow ye - rahter - small with long starred eyelashes. But as soon as there was one manatee, the people flocked around -- too many really. I wanted to swim with them in peace.

I found a good stakeout and saw several including Mother and calf...

They "bump" you - it is said to play.....perhaps..

We will see if the pcitures turn out.


And I still cannot get Paolo's brunch.....

[WDWLVR]

Will do!

Sleep well!
Fran
:teacher:

Fran got your pm this morning and will update. Sorry if I trashed the other one. I've been trying to keep the May ones filed away :)

[ohiominnie]

My dog has been outside barking and running around the house (fenced in yard) for 1/2 hour. This is the 3rd night in a row. Gonna call a hunter, trapper, exterminator, park ranger, doesn't matter. A family of something is moving around. I have smelled skunk for the last few mornings so maybe that is it. We were outside the fence today walking all around. Didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Sue

I know everyone here wants to know this, but February is skunk mating season. So that's why you'll see lots more dead skunks on the road in February. :)

I've seen lots. Even have had to slow down to avoid missing the live ones crossing the road. ;)

[ohiominnie]

Stingrays on CC -new and we love stingrays

hence your signature. ;) :lmao:

[ohiominnie]

Got dinner on Monday night. 8:00 :woohoo: (yes, I know it's formal night :thumbsup2 )



Well, I DIDN'T get up at 3:00 am and here's what I got.

Tried for Palo on Tuesday night, but the only option was 9:00 pm....WAY too late for us (especially considering I got Tulim on Wednesday morning....if we got to Cozumel)

So opted for Palo on Monday at 7:30---might just have to double dip dinner b/c of formal night. Hate to leave the kids alone on FORMAL NIGHT. ;)

Then again, I am NOT a huge Palo dinner fan. I did this for Mike.

COOL, unexpected TOP shared with Fran, the kids, and Cupcake. :love:

pixiedust: pdfg

[WDWLVR]

Darn internal alarm clock. I was up until 2:30 booking and even turned off the alarm this morning (which usually turns the radio on at 5 am), but still woke up at 6. I see a nap in my future this afternoon!

[WDWLVR]

Sharon - Mark and I are in the same room and it would only let me put it in one name. It did say it was for 1 or 2 people so I think we are both good to go.

[scuba diver]

It's been 20 years and I still don't understand my wife....guess I never will.

She won't get up in the morning for anything EXCEPT for gymnastics and DCL.

Saturday morning we are up at 4 am and on the road at 4:45 am heading to St. Pete for a gymnastics meet. Not a complaint, was happy all the way.

This morning up at 3 am sitting at the computer booking DCL. Happy and not a complaint.....

But come tomorrow morning....Hell has no fury like Sharon waking up at 5:30. :confused3

[WDWLVR]

Lisa's meet was very confusing, the combined Level 8's and Level's 9 together. The judges kept changing the order of when the gymnasts competed at their event.

Congrats to Lisa! :cheer2:

[scuba diver]

Sharon - Mark and I are in the same room and it would only let me put it in one name. It did say it was for 1 or 2 people so I think we are both good to go.

That's what I told her, but she wanted her name on it. She is concerned about who I would take to Palo's.

[scuba diver]

Yesterday was a good day.

Lisa placed 1st overall in her gymnastics meet. That means she earned a bottle of Banfi.

I ran a 5K while she was at her meet and I ran a personal best so I earned a bottle of Banfi too.

Just happen to drive by a Fresh Market last night on the way home from Tampa and Lisa found our two bottles of Banfi. :cool1:

I'm glad she works so hard at gymnastics for Banfi! :lmao:

[scuba diver]

I think that I will be taking my running gear, and at least running on the ship. I can just picture what my Garmin will be giving me if I do a run on a day at sea while the boat is moving. Probably won't be too accurate, huh? I imagine we would be able to run on the same path that the bikes use at CC, right? As for when I will get my runs in at CC, I guess that depends on my luck in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow. I would definitely enjoy some company on these runs.

Jim, I say sign up for the 1/2 in January at WDW. It is a nice medal and I actually enjoyed the half more than the full this year. The half was fun and fast, and there are parts of the full that I don't remember! I am thinking about going Goofy again next January, but it could be difficult to pull off another WDW trip after the cruise and the DL 1/2 in September.


Paul

You ran the Goofy....impressive. For people who don't know, that is running a 1/2 marathon on Saturday and than running the full marathon on Sunday. Someone has to be Goofy to do that.

I've decided to do the 1/2 in January. That will be my first. I also noticed that Disney has a Race for the Taste 10K in October so I will sign up for that one. Hopefully they will pass out wine at the waterstops.

[RachelTori]

Well -- I am a little upset that It won't let me do anything for Palo Brunch. Keeps saying I need to update filters and it won't let me. I guess I will try calling in tomorrow morning to see if I can add that. Do we just call the general DCL number or who do we call for that type of thing.

Pam,

I got the same thing when I tried to go back a 3rd time to check for High Tea! I believe at that point all available reservations were gone. You can call the DCL 800 # - they may be able to find something. I'm just going to wait and see if I can get it when we get onboard.

Hope the swim meet today went well for Ashley :thumbsup2

[WDWLVR]

For those of you who didn't get the Palo slots you want I have heard that they save some slots for those who don't have internet access. Just be sure you go to the Palo location as soon as you get on board. High Tea was the first thing I booked and when I went to book it both brunches teas were up. By the time I came back the Monday brunch and tea were already gone. Seems like they went fast!

[mickeymo]

Congrats Lisa! My dd 8's basketball team earns ice cream certificates for "perfect 10s" 10 rebounds, 10 steals, 10 shots, etc... I think I like your incentives :rotfl2:

[ljml]

Popping in to wish everyone good luck with their reservations!!

I have a pirate dress, Jay has a shirt and pirate hat....but the kids will only have pirate t-shirts.
Not bringing a particular "tropical" outfit, instead I have a Mickey dress.
Heading for bed. The plane doesn't leave here until 1:30, but I doubt if I'll get online before then.
Linda, sorry I didn't get to talk to you....didn't get my messages until we were just heading out to meet my niece.
Talk to everyone from HOME!

Hey Stace-hope you had a good time in Omaha-maybe we can meet up the next time you return to visit. Wishing you safe travels........ :sunny:
Linda

[tchrmom]

Who from your family is parasailing at 10:30 on Sunday. Our whole family is booked on that excursion.

We're all booked on this excursion. Just don't tell Kelly that you "land" in salt water. She can swim like a fish, but HATES salt water.

Glad Lisa had a good meet too! Was it really loud there yesterday? I heard there was also going to be a cheerleading competiton on the other side of that blue curtain.

Fran
:teacher:

[LOVETHATMOUSE]

Well, my kitty woke me up to snuggle at 3:20 am, so up I went to the computer to start the ressie rush. Thanks to Sophie I got everything I wanted!

Palos Brunch on Thursday at 11:00 (was able to get table of 4 so other couple we are cruising with can come with us - none of us has done this before)

Palos Dinner on Tuesday at 6:00 (this way my dd can eat with the other family we are going with and we all can do the show together afterwards)

Spa Treatments for Monday, Thursday and Weds (Coz day incase they
change it)


Parasailing Sunday (10:30) for dd and me

Parasailing Friday (1:30) for dd and me incase DCL cancels Sunday for any reason.

Swim with the Stingrays on CC Friday 10 am (anyone out there done this yet? Is it worth it?)

And of course the traditional rental of tubes/floats for Castaway Days and registering dd into the clubs.

Not back for 20 minutes lack of sleep.

[RachelTori]

Sounds like a good # of this group will be Parasailing Sunday @ 10:30!!! :thumbsup2

[WDWLVR]

Debbie - nice to see you posting on the thread. It does sound like the 10:30 Sunday boat will be full of DISers. Always fun when you can have a boat full of DIS families!


We'll look up in the air at you all when we are finishing up the stingrays!















pdfgpixiedust:

[DVCcruise]

I'm guessing that my TA never completed my paperwork, so DCL doesn't know I'm paid in full. Under status, it says "booked". :confused3
Since it's Sunday, I have no one to call or complain to, so I'm patiently waiting until Monday. We wanted Palo on Tuesday night, but it looks like that may be impossible. We'll have to see. I'm not all that stressed, we'll get what we get. :sunny:

Off to church.

[WDWLVR]

Susan go ahead and try and book. The status doesn't change from "booked" to "paid in full". We've been paid for a month now and it still says booked and let me book what I wanted.

[LOVETHATMOUSE]

Thanks Mary - You'll have to let me know how the Sting Rays went since we have them booked for Friday.

[itdjbw]

oh yes! I just finished Eleven On Top!!! Too funny! If you like the Plum books you would probaly love the Undead seried by Mary Janice Davidson! They are even funnier than Plum....they are about vampires but it is like Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Sex in The City! LOL funny!
That reminds me Diana are you all still wathicng Buffy?

I haven't read Eleven on top yet, did you read it in softcover?? I have looked for it in SC but not seen it.
I will look for Mary Janice Davidson and try her books.

Funny I noticed that too and also thought about checking Stacy's :rotfl2:
I also noticed my DD gender is Male!!! :confused3

They do as I called before our last cruise and was told that, we went once on board and got what we wanted.

[itdjbw]

I got Palo for Sunday night 7.30pm
registered both kids but only did this this morning at 6.30 when my internal alarm woke me!!

[itdjbw]

We have blue skies again today, yesterday was a dreary dreadful day.
Off to clean house and do laundry before BB practice.

[tinksdad]

Mark or Mary,

I was starting to work on our magnetic door sign and would like a larger copy of the double scoop logo than you have posted on your site. Do you have another??

[yippeeDCL]

Thanks Mary - You'll have to let me know how the Sting Rays went since we have them booked for Friday.

This may be a dup..sorry, I'm having problems with posting this morning.

WE are scheduled for 10:00 Friday.

THe only problem I had was The Villas..ultimate package...maybe they were all booked? I did book the "couple (?)"...looks like just a little shorter time. We have Palo in Thursday..I'll never get the kids dressed-up twice (and still enjoy the cruise). I made no other shore excursions....I'll just wait to see where the wind take us :cool1:

[Dancind]

That's what I told her, but she wanted her name on it. She is concerned about who I would take to Palo's.

Tell her not to worry, you will only replace her if someone offers to bring a really good bottle of wine/port.

[scuba diver]

Mark or Mary,

Well, I'll be..... a TOP!! Thanks Jim!!

[scuba diver]

:lmao:

[Dancind]

I had technical problems this morning too. We were not booked as returning cruisers, so I couldn't make reservations. Couldn't find my CC card either, but it would not have mattered. Called DCL this morning and they were nice enough to do it for me, so I didn't have to wait to get hold of the TA. Of course, the Palo dinner reservation we wanted (Tuesday) was gone by then, and there were no brunch or high tea times showing at all. So I got one on Thursday, since Tuesday was the ONLY missing day. Also booked the Seahorse Snorkel for Sunday afternoon and the Tulum tour for me at Cozumel. Still not 100% certain about that, but at least I can now go if I want to!

[whnim64]

It was really strange to see all of these names in the list to pick up DS from the lab. It was especially strange to see the last names of everyone.

Love the Janet Evanovich 'Plum' series, but Twelve Sharp isn't due out until the end of May; not sure it will be out in time for the cruise.

[scuba.mom]

Diana - I just PM'd you. Please read and let me know what you think. Sharon

[Dancind]

So, was registering the kids the only time you could tell the reservations were linked? I didn't look for it.

[whnim64]

I didn't get on to make ressies until around 7 this morning. We have stingrays Sunday at 10, banana boat Friday at 10:30, and Palo dinner Friday at 6:30. I couldn't get high tea or brunch. I'll have to try to get those after we're onboard.

[whnim64]

So, was registering the kids the only time you could tell the reservations were linked? I didn't look for it.
That's the only place that I noticed anything 'strange'.

[WDWLVR]

Yeah Sandi! We'll be doing the stingrays together! We should be able to get pictures of each others families that way. Very cool!

[WDWLVR]

Kevin I'm sure we have a larger one someone. Let me check.

[whnim64]

Yeah Sandi! We'll be doing the stingrays together! We should be able to get pictures of each others families that way. Very cool!
:cool1: :teeth: :thumbsup2 :) in just 13 weeks!

[mickeymo]

Love the Janet Evanovich 'Plum' series, but Twelve Sharp isn't due out until the end of May; not sure it will be out in time for the cruise.

Here's a few more to try in a similar genre...

I'm also hooked on Jennifer Cruisie's books - similar goofy romantic mystery genre... Added bonus - she's a BGSU grad and teaches at OSU - or is it the other way around - don't remember...

Julie Garwood's suspense books are good too - I also like her earlier romance stuff. Steamy, goofy but strong female characters...

Kasey Michael's "Maggie" series is also good - 1st is Maggie by the book...

For all you foodies - Diane Mott Davidson's "Goldie the Caterer" mysteries are a good, fun read - complete with recipes... :thumbsup2

Sharon Kahn's "Ruby the Rabbi's wife" mysteries are also light and fun - the titles are hysterical...

Crossword Puzzle fans might also like Parnell Hall's "Puzzle Lady" mysteries - 1st is "A Clue for the Puzzle Lady - fun, goofy and each mystery is complete with a crossword puzzle or some type of word puzzle...

o.k. - back to laundry...otherwise I just might go to the library and get another stack of books...between reading and DISing - I'll never finish the housework...

[scuba.mom]

:teacher:

It was VERY loud and distracting. I really don't like the Gasparilla Meet for that reason. With Lisa at ACE next year, I don't know which meets they tend to do. I don't think I saw them on the list of gyms this year. Maybe we are done with the madness for a while.

[scuba.mom]

So, was registering the kids the only time you could tell the reservations were linked? I didn't look for it.

It was the only time I saw it. It didn't even show Jim & I linked, or I think it would have been easier to make reservations. I had to have two windows open to alternatively book us excurisons, etc.

[dzneprincess]

I haven't read Eleven on top yet, did you read it in softcover?? I have looked for it in SC but not seen it.
I will look for Mary Janice Davidson and try her books.
Julia,
Nope I borrowed the hardback from the library....I foubd the first Undead book by accident at Sams..it was the SC and it was like 3.xx It is called Undead and Unwed...

At 3 this morning Sharon mentioned the listing of people and who would be responsible for Lisa. Sharon was to nice. I tried to get her to link Lisa to you, but she would not do it. :rotfl: I figured we could unlink it some time later, but she just would not budge.

[McFamily2]

Okay from what I understand the Dolphin excursion at CM is at the same beach as jungle beach break and you can stick around at the beach afterward. But online the earliest Dophin Ex is 10 am and earliest Jungle is 11. But the boat is in port at 7:30. So what do you do for 3-4 hours until your excursion leaves. I want to make the most of all of our port stops, not hang around on the ship for 4 hours waiting. Can you get your own transportation to Uvero beach and just go over to the dolphin place?

[TiggerInNY]

I e-mailed the website for the dolphin excursion and they said that it's only offered to the hotel guests. Can anyone book it? And how?

Thanks.

[kikipug]

KikiK you been awful quiet lately too..you must just still be enjoying the company of your parents.....

Yes, they are still here... but I tend to do most of my DIS-ing from my office... which I haven't been in very much lately, thanks to helping to get my boss' new business started... plus, I'm coming up on my busiest week of the year... Bike Week officially starts Friday, so preparations are well underway.

Spent yesterday at Busch Gardens for Elizabeth's birthday... me and 4 12-year olds... now I am EXHAUSTED!!!! We left at 7 AM, got back at 10PM... long day to be with those kids!!! Love them dearly, but was MORE than ready for that day to end!!

I took Elizabeth birthday shopping Friday night... found her something to wear for formal & semi-formal nights... one more thing to cross of the list!!!

Congrats to Lisa & Kelly... way to go!!!

All this talk about everyone making ressies has really got me :sad1: . Sounds like we'll never get anything booked by the time we're able to!!!!

[TiggerInNY]

Hi everyone,

Just got back from an overnight at the Indian Reservation Casino in CT (Foxwoods). Won a mess load yesterday but gave some of it back this morning. Still had lots of fun. Hit "27" 4 out of 5 spins last night at Roulette. THAT was exciting.

Whew!!! I had to read through 12 pages of posts. Man, you guys are chatty. We first-time cruisers will have to wait until, what..March 13th, right? If an excursion is "saved" on your wish list, does it just automatically get booked? Sorry, but I'm a little confused....help!!

Someone I work with went to Foxwoods last weekend and she came back with $6,000!!! She's so excited, she doesn't know what to do :hyper:

I had technical problems this morning too. We were not booked as returning cruisers, so I couldn't make reservations. Couldn't find my CC card either, but it would not have mattered. Called DCL this morning and they were nice enough to do it for me, so I didn't have to wait to get hold of the TA. Of course, the Palo dinner reservation we wanted (Tuesday) was gone by then, and there were no brunch or high tea times showing at all. So I got one on Thursday, since Tuesday was the ONLY missing day. Also booked the Seahorse Snorkel for Sunday afternoon and the Tulum tour for me at Cozumel. Still not 100% certain about that, but at least I can now go if I want to!
I called DCL also, and they told me that there was no way that they could make reservations for us. They do not have that capablity! I am very angry right now! Don't they know that DISers talk to each other.

I callede DCL - as I was getting technical errors. They told me ressies opened up at midnight EASTERN time and everyone else got them before we were on line at 3:00 am. And they could NOT make them for me...hum////
