12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 10

[goofyforlife]

found really good closeup of DH's coat buttons so i can get similar ones...

[MrsMork]

I need to order the beads. TONIGHT!! Time is running out! :hourglass

[MrsMork]

I still need a suit for Aaron. I may just get a tux off Ebay.

[goofyforlife]

I will not be a character...more like a wench in similar clothing..

I got enough fabric for DH's vest so that i can have a matching bodice...

[MrsMork]

I'm just thinking he might get another wear or two from a suit - maybe Christmas, church, etc

[goofyforlife]

I still need a suit for Aaron. I may just get a tux off Ebay.


Oh shoot that reminds me...........DH you have to get measured at a tux place...

[MrsMork]

I'm just going to be a fluffy wench too! They will be wanting the redhead when they see me! :lmao: :rotfl2:

[goofyforlife]

Still need Gaucho's for DD's costume...... saw a pair for $20...


and need boots or boot covers for at least DD and DH

(skirt will cover mine)

[MrsMork]

I see pirates lurking. They need to HELP us! :surfweb:

[MrsMork]

My skirt is long also. I'll just wear some sandals

[goofyforlife]

40 &*%^($ rule pirate:

[MrsMork]

I won't be able to get back on until tonight. I'm obviously taking my lunch time now! ;) :surfweb:

[goofyforlife]

and i still need plane tickets for the ride home...

but we're not going home right...............

[MrsMork]

pirate: pirate:

[MrsMork]

Oh man! I know the 40 sec rule will get me now! pirate:

Oh, it didn't! :woohoo: pirate:

Now to work!

[goofyforlife]

i at least am going to get out our luggage this weekend to start the whole packing process... Can pack shorts or bathing suits

[brack]

pirate:

[goofyforlife]

see my problem (too much info) :blush:

back to work

[brack]

Good pirate: Angie. I was trying to catch up before lunch and thought I had some time before the next milestone and then all of a sudden it was there! You all are way too quick.

[pjpoohbear]

So why are you sucking up? What does she have on you?? :lmao:


I am just a sweet Canadian girl!

Pj

[brack]

I'm gonna get fired! And so close to retirement! :surfweb:

I'm just glad that my boss is away today but my DW is here. It's almost lunch time and she will give me "the look" if she sees me DISing at work! :confused3

[BuzzBoyMom]

Whoever said a few posts ago that they were going to get fired.....today's the kind of day where I WANT to get fired. I can't believe all the crap I have to do in a short period of time.

I'm now in avoidance mode and sitting here on teh dis. ugh.

okay...probably won't be back till tonight.

hugs everyone.

[bubbasmom99]

I'm in a lull before more work gets thrown at me (aahhhhhh)...

36 more days....

[lbgraves]

Oh man! We will put you and the kids in our prayers for sure, Lisa. Let us know how it turns out. :grouphug:


I am just here for a quick break from school. I have already done a sign & packed up what I need to take back this afternoon.

I think this is OK because nothing has been done yet today. :thumbsup2 Kathryn & I were joking about it this morning. If they suspend our kids, we will have to be home with them. That means they don't have anyone to run the carnival. ;)

Also great news today regarding the kid in DD's class! :cool1: Last night when I asked how her day went & if he had bothered her at all she said that he went to another teacher's class who is in Kindergarten. I confirmed that with her assistant this morning! :woohoo: Hopefully having identified a major issue he was having will help his behavior. I would think that a child who is that far behind would act up because he can't do the work. As a parent of a child in the class....I am very relieved. Part of me is concerned about the kindergarteners he is with now though. :(

[GoofyforGoofy]

Maybe there is something I can slip into everyone's drink CC day that will make them "faint" like the goats on their sprint to the beach! He he :teeth:

Yeah, I'm thinking a little rum, some cocanut, maybe a pineapple...put an umbrella on it and I may just sit down and take a break... :thumbsup2

[lbgraves]

I don't know if trip insurane would cover it??? :confused3 I did put in for a quote with DU. My niece keeps saying she couldn't afford it, but if I hear that her DH will be back in time and would have to time off to go, I will find a way to make it happen. :teeth:

Caroline, why don't you call DCL & explain the situation to them. It wont be about your reservation so you should be able to talk to them. I am guessing that with it being a deployed member of the military they would allow them to move their reservation to a different date if they needed to. I am hoping that companies are giving a little more leway to members of the military who are at war since they have no control over when they can come home. I would also call the travel insurance company to see if that would qualify. If his current orders say that he will be home & his orders change, that may be covered. I would get it from someone who knows what they are talking about there though...maybe a supervisor.

[GoofyforGoofy]

...but give something back to your DIS friends!! :Pinkbounc

You know I wouldn't deny anyone a good spot, I may even save an extra spot or two....I tend to get to my spot (family beach) and have three chairs and an umbrella...sometimes I get near a hammock; I could be persuaded to hold a few extra chairs and a hammock for some lucky winners...(Rumrunner, all I have to say, Rumrunner, should I spell that?) :rolleyes1

[lbgraves]

The Princess one right?

Yes, we saw it at the center that is at a metro stop. It was a total surprise! They didn't know until we picked up our tickets & I had DS read them. :)

[lbgraves]

I'm sure the kids have fun with it, but the name sounds gross! :rotfl:

That's why the kids love it! :thumbsup2

[lbgraves]

But then you will be saying NO a lot more, right? ;)

I wont be saying ANYTHING!!! :rotfl:

[lbgraves]

And you will not cause her any stress on the cruise?? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[GoofyforGoofy]

Angie's just so nice! :teeth: I don't share with non DISers though. Some guy walked past the hammock I was enjoying about 11 am one year and made some comment about people who get there early then don't let others use the hammock. I managed to open one eye and told him perhaps he should get out of bed earlier. :rolleyes:

Thats funny. Really, I was walking one time and saw this woman in a hammock and I said...oh wait. Ruht Roh.

I think we need a pirate flag to stake out areas...and a big sign that says, Dead Man Get no Hammock pirate: !

[lbgraves]

You know it is cutting into your moderating duties Lisa! ;)

What is? :confused3 Carnival or this thread? :rotfl:

[lbgraves]

Oy! She got sick on top of everyting else? :guilty: Lisa, I want to come and help you!!!

Yup! That was the week that DS was up at 12:30 Wednesday throwing up all night then DD was up Friday night. It was not fun...but it was nearly a month ago. Better in September than December. :thumbsup2

[GoofyforGoofy]

Oh shoot that reminds me...........DH you have to get measured at a tux place...

Find a store in town and see what I have to do. Its the least you could do to get me in that monkey suit. And downtown that I could walk to during lunch? you could go with me and make sure its done right...<no laughing!>

[lbgraves]

Whoa...did I miss something? Are you saying that your DD got sick after eating a powdered donut at the party???? If so...I may have to scratch that idea!

Brandi, she ate the donut, a hotdog, chips, cookies, and fruit. That was the week the tummy bug was going thru the school. DS had it Wednesday night & DD caught it from him a couple days later. All of the kids at the party either had it already or caught it the next week. I just mentioned that because I felt badly at first that I didn't realize she was sick. We were at the party almost 3 hours and she didn't start looking run down until the last 30 minutes or so. She was running around playing in the house & the backyard. I felt better after seeing her on the video because she didn't look sick there at all. She was smiling and having a good time. She would have gotten sick that night if we had gone to the party or not. :thumbsup2

Oh man! I know the 40 sec rule will get me now! pirate:

I'm glad things have improved in school. I thought the same thing about the kids new class.

Good idea Lisa. I do have to call DCL anyway to see if they lowered my Repo balance from the lowered port charges. I just got an e-mail from DU for their quote, so I will go check that out now.

[pyramid2000]

Hmmmm, the quote is a little more than I thought, but still good. $1,578.24, CAT 11, 2 adults, one 1 YO.

[lbgraves]

Whoa...did I miss something? Are you saying that your DD got sick after eating a powdered donut at the party???? If so...I may have to scratch that idea!


NO! It was a tummy bug that was going around that's all.

[lbgraves]

Did anyone see Dancing Wednesday night? I got home from choir in time to see that Jerry got kicked off. I was glad. The others are far better dancers.

http://www.wdisneyw.com/forums/images/smilies/dance.gif

Yes, that was a pretty good week to watch. :) I think that Jerry tried as much as he could...unlike that Diddly person last year. OY BOY!

[lbgraves]

Speaking of receiving things ..... shouldn't we be getting our docs soon? Whoever gets theirs first had better yell. I know that I will! :Pinkbounc :woohoo: :cloud9:

:rotfl: I wont be seeing our docs before 12/2/06. We never get them earlier than a week before the cruise.

[lbgraves]

Just this grandma's opinion, but I think we have gone WAY to far with the "no tolerance" c**p. Kids are going to be kids, there are going to be squabbles and occasionally a push or a shove. They get consequences for that and learn proper behavior, but suspending from school at the drop of a hat is obsurd. IMHO.
One of DG's friends was attacked by another kid (this is HS, NOT elementary) and refused to defend himself because he knew he would get suspended if he "fought". He took several punches because he is a very good student and good kid and did not want to risk having a suspension on his record. He was able to get hold of the kid's hands and hold him after a few punches, and they were even threatening to suspend him for THAT!! Now you got me going!

You can get suspended for even being involved but not throwing any punches. Somehow that really bothers me because a kid could get beat up & suspended...like in the case you gave, Angie. His dad was teasing him because he was "beat up by a first grade girl" and he is in 5th grade. She told me today that I don't have to worry about anyone messing with DD or trying to take her away. Her son has a bad bruise on his leg where she kicked him (she was wearing harder Church shoes since it was picture day.)

[lbgraves]

Maybe there is something I can slip into everyone's drink CC day that will make them "faint" like the goats on their sprint to the beach! He he :teeth:

You could keep them all up late at the chocolate buffet the night before? :rolleyes1

[becka]

Just checking in on my lunch break real quick before I have to get back to testing. :sad:

All this food talk on the thread makes me so hungry. I am still trying so hard to be good...most of the time. ;) I have lost almost 8 pounds now and I would like to lose a few more in the next 6 weeks but I might have to attack a chicken pot pie (with crust :rotfl: ) soon!

I did discover another Lean Cuisine that is pretty tasty. I had the Sesame Chicken one today and I really liked it. And it was only 7 points! :yay:

I hope everyone has a great afternoon! :wave:

[lbgraves]

You bring up a very good point! What is the victim supposed to do?? Heck, it sounded like Kaitlyn was trying her best to protect her brother!


OK, after a couple days of talking to all four kids we think that we have pieced it together. Her DS said let's wrestle and they started to roughhouse. Totally normal for 5th grade boys. My kids do not know how to "play fight" and when he pushed DS too hard & he fell down DD kicked him in the leg. Somehow my kids started fighting each other & he tried to break them up by wrapping his arms around their shoulders...which ended up being their necks. DS twisted around alot which caused his neck to get red marks on it and then he ran into the school to get us. DD kicked him again because now he was trying to hold her still and didn't like it. That really hurt & made him mad, which is when I ran outside & saw him pinning her down on the ground.

I have talked to both kids about the fact that they could have gotten suspended & still might. I also went over what else they could have done at each step.

[klineyqueen]

Umm...yeah. Queensland Chicken and Shrimp with a starter course of Cheese Fries. Washed down with a Yngling Lager....

When I used to travel for work, we would book our hotels and flights and stuff and always find the closest Outback to our hotel...it was our official restaurant for all out of town travel. :rolleyes1
Do you mean Yuengling? "America's Oldest Brewery." The only reason they are the oldest is due to the fact that they are in the mountains and they never stopped producing during prohibition!!!!! That is about 10 min from my house...people seriously come from far and wide to tour it. I have never toured....I was in it but never "officially!!!!" I went once to take it but I had on sandals and you must have on regular shoes...who knew!

[pyramid2000]

That would be a site! Everyone sleeping in the stairwell with chocolate all over their mouths! :lmao:

[klineyqueen]

I heard on the radio this morning that our local HS has the number one team in the state in water polo for BOTH the boys and girls teams! :cheer2: Go Newberg! :cheer2: We have not won one football game, but water polo and wrestling they are great! :cheer2:
I seriously can not name one school that has a water polo team in our area. I wonder if that is a western thing... :confused3

[lbgraves]

I'm just thinking he might get another wear or two from a suit - maybe Christmas, church, etc

Walmart has them for $35. :thumbsup2 They are nice quality fabric & DS looked really spiffy last year.

[klineyqueen]

Cruise fever is starting to infect the whole family except for Allie who really does not understand what is in store for her just yet. ;) Nathan keeps asking how many days and I love to see his reactions as he realizes that it won’t be too much longer before we are on the Mickey Boat again. His excitement is contagious. I did tell him about Samantha and Haley (Vanessa’s girls) and how we would be eating dinner with them on the Mickey Boat. I was able to show him the pictures on our website and that excited him even more. He loves that they have been to WDW and on the Mickey Boat before too – just like him. :yay:

We leave in exactly six weeks!!! I know several of you actually have even less time before you leave. I am going to be an absolute mess within a few more weeks. It still does not seem real a lot of the time.
This post just got me so excited!!!! I could jump up and down!!!

I seriously can not name one school that has a water polo team in our area. I wonder if that is a western thing... :confused3

My high school in south central PA had water polo (and this is a public high school). But not many other schools had teams; they had to compete against some schools pretty far away.

[pyramid2000]

I have to get the girl's costumes together. We only have about a half an hour from when they get home to get ready before leaving for the GS party. Actually less than that since we have to stop and pick up the pizza. Oh, and I found a black and white striped sweater for Amanda yesterday at Fashion Bug. She can wear it later too.

We went to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in NYC 2 years ago. Jason and I got up at 3 am and left our hotel room. We walked 1 block to times square. We got curb side spots. We waited HOURS for the parade to start. We had several people try to push in front of us. :furious: I don't think so!!! It was funny there was a wave of people from about 3 - 3:45. We all got curb side. Then at about 6 am everyone else started to pour in. There was NO WAY they were going to push me out of the way!!!

Oh, and can you believe their behavior at dinner last night? Shouting across the dining room something about Taking Back or Never Giving Bananas. :confused3 Not only that but I think some of them were wearing bedazzled jeans on formal night. How geeky! What are they some kind of cult?

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[MMcCarthy]

Help!! I need a disfix but can't do it. the person who is under me is out sick with bronchitis and her sister is dieing. I don't expect her back until late next week. Unfortunately that means I have to do all of her work and my work. the day started at 8:30 am and will end after 8:00pm with another meeting. I have to get the check run done and it is not even ready to go. I just needed to whine a little. I hope you guys are having a better day than I am.

I just spoke to a very nice CM about the situation with my niece. He wans't sure how it worked if they were already overseas (if they were here and had a ressie, then got orders, they waive the cancelation fee). In my niece's case, nothing can be done so he said it was best to wait to make the ressie. :guilty:

[pyramid2000]

Missy, that sounds like a horrible situation all around! :grouphug:

I took DME last October, but did not receive my tags, due to delivery method. It took over 7 hours to get my bags, lol. This time I will have tags, so maybe just 5 hours to get my bags.

Note to self: pack in day bag clothes for MVMCP.

Pj

so glad you mentioned this PJ, I need to make the same note. Our plane is scheduled to land at 3pm and we have tix for MVMCP that night, that's not much room for error.

Ooooo. I'm still bitter about the people who pushed in front of DD and me at the Magic Kingdom parade 3 years ago. I felt like screaming at them "HEY! This is Hannah's first trip ever and first parade and we have been waiting a long time! And now this six-months pregnant woman is forced to lift a 5-year-old up so she can see the princesses." But all I did was give them the evil eye. I should have had some DIS geek friends then.

I actually recognize all of those teams. I am surprised about Pottsville. That is about 10 min. away. I don't recall ever even seeing them listed in the paper as having a team. I guess that sport just isn't "important" in this one track minded (football) area.

Do you mean Yuengling? "America's Oldest Brewery." The only reason they are the oldest is due to the fact that they are in the mountains and they never stopped producing during prohibition!!!!! That is about 10 min from my house...people seriously come from far and wide to tour it. I have never toured....I was in it but never "officially!!!!" I went once to take it but I had on sandals and you must have on regular shoes...who knew!

DS had a great time this morning with his Preschool. We went on a wagon ride then walked through a corn maze. The kids each got to pick a pumpkin. Then we rode the wagon back to the store area. The kids got to go down a slide, through a DARK tunnel, and other outdoor activities. Then they went inside for a snack and they each got to pick something out of the treasure chest. The kids cost $3.75 each and the adults were $2.50. I didn't think that was bad at all! Jake had a runny nose...but other than that he was fine. It was fun to see him in that atmosphere. He was very very quiet! I was rather surprised!

Ooooo. I'm still bitter about the people who pushed in front of DD and me at the Magic Kingdom parade 3 years ago. I felt like screaming at them "HEY! This is Hannah's first trip ever and first parade and we have been waiting a long time! And now this six-months pregnant woman is forced to lift a 5-year-old up so she can see the princesses." But all I did was give them the evil eye. I should have had some DIS geek friends then.
Angie would say something...nicely of course. "EXCUSE ME!!! Get out of my child's way! Get here early if you want to be in front!" DrHug would likely have to pretend he doesn't know me again! :rolleyes:

It took us a couple weeks to receive our reward card but I've heard it can take up to 30 days so you should cash out soon.

Keep in mind that your card can have rewards added to it so once you have the card you can add more rewards to it without a waiting period BUT you have to have $10. in rewards to cash out. So say you have an odd amount available like $23. I'd say get the card with $13 of it and then after you receive the card have any remainder added a week before the cruise.

I hope that makes sense.

We went to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in NYC 2 years ago. Jason and I got up at 3 am and left our hotel room. We walked 1 block to times square. We got curb side spots. We waited HOURS for the parade to start. We had several people try to push in front of us. :furious: I don't think so!!! It was funny there was a wave of people from about 3 - 3:45. We all got curb side. Then at about 6 am everyone else started to pour in. There was NO WAY they were going to push me out of the way!!!

This happens at WDW for any parade or fireworks. We rarely stay less than a week and usually it is longer. I do not rush through a park and like to get a good spot for these events. Therefore I usually "stake out" the spot I want at least two hours ahead of time. Everytime someone will come up near the time to start and want me to let them "share" this little spot.

OK, after a couple days of talking to all four kids we think that we have pieced it together. Her DS said let's wrestle and they started to roughhouse. Totally normal for 5th grade boys. My kids do not know how to "play fight" and when he pushed DS too hard & he fell down DD kicked him in the leg. Somehow my kids started fighting each other & he tried to break them up by wrapping his arms around their shoulders...which ended up being their necks. DS twisted around alot which caused his neck to get red marks on it and then he ran into the school to get us. DD kicked him again because now he was trying to hold her still and didn't like it. That really hurt & made him mad, which is when I ran outside & saw him pinning her down on the ground.

I have talked to both kids about the fact that they could have gotten suspended & still might. I also went over what else they could have done at each step.

So close ... every other year recently we've been in Williamsburg for Thanksgiving; this is not a Williamsburg year. My side of the family (the ones who are doing the cruise) will meet there when it's our year for Thanksgiving. (Since family is so spread out, we alternate Christmas and Tgiving with my side and DH's side. My side gets Christmas this year... and the cruise is our Christmas visit.)

What do I do? We also could fly in Thursday evening for the same price and stay at WDW and visit a park on Friday if we wanted. Of course we would have the added hassle of the car seat, rental car, less luggage, etc.. What should we do?


FLY, 30 minutes in the airport is way better then hours in the car.

Becka,

This is the one I bought I love it already, haven't practiced with it as much as I should have, but I have a week at Disney before the cruise. And you have kids to practice on, lol. Has lots of cool stuff and I was able to start shooting right out of the box, super easy.

DrHug just called. Do I want to meet downtown for dinner tonight? :confused3 Uh, no I think I'd rather go home and cook. :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl: We're going out!

[GoofyforGoofy]

is anyone near Williamsberg, VA or Charlottesville VA? We'll be in those two places the week of Thanksgiving... I am so jealous of you East coasters who get together all the time it seems! Maybe I'll just drive down to... Kansas? Missouri? I think that's the closest anyone is to us here in MN.

Remember how there was a glaring lack of midwesterners in the Dis geeks map? I think it's cuz people here just don't get the concept. I don't know why, but all our friends think we're totally nuts to go on a Disney cruise. Personally, I think it's insane not to go on one, LOL. But I don't know if we ever would have done it if my parents, who live in VA, hadn't arranged it last year. Now we're hooked.

Our friends just go to "the cabin" usually for vacation, or visit rellies. I need a vacation *after* I do either of those!

There's a couple of us in Maryland!

Sorry Becka, I missed part of this conversation. Are you saying that you can either fly in on Saturday or you can fly in on Thursday night and you'll save enough to pay for WDW resort and tickets? I would say go for that. We're going down on Thursday, Magical Express to WDW, limo to port, then DCL transfer from port to airport. So no car seats or rental car... but luggage, well there is luggage and we will have to pack it up twice and lug it a bit from our rooms to the limo. But I am excited to see the Christmas party thing so I'm very happy to go to WDW, even if just for a day.

If you want to stay at WDW before the cruise, call and make your ressies now as I am afraid all the rooms might be gone already -- you'll have to stalk them for an opening, but hopefully it will work out!

OH tell me about this Unknown place..tell me of the people there....What color is the sky in their world?

[TanaL]

OK all you CC sprinters, would anyone be willing to adopt my dh and show him where to go? Last year on our first CC day we didn't go out until later, we were lucky to get a few chairs together in the back. The second day my Dad went out and got some chairs closer to the front, but still not fabulous and nowhere near a hammock. The only hammock I saw was really far from the water. Really we were just in awe of the whole place and happy to be anywhere on the beach!! It doesn't seem like it should be so difficult to find The Perfect Spot, but I guess there isn't much time to mess around if you are a *serious* beach spot finder. Just so you know, dh is very very punctual, always early for appointments, and he can run fast, he won't slow you down! He'll even carry your beach bag ladies <hint hint Angie>.

Now me and the chilluns are just too slow to get going in the morning, we won't even try to be out with the sprinters.

Pick me pick me.

I m not sure if there are any hammocks near the water. Hammocks need trees so they are back off the beach, between the beach and the walking path...not terribly far though.

I will be off early and the beach is fair game...Im sure we can help him. Are you thinking of the family beach or the adult beach?

Brenda, I get to ride the subway each and every work day, so I like the skinny book for the ride, lol. I like harlequin presents and blaze, but If I bring them on the ship, I will make a book cover, lol. I can read one in about 3 hours for the shorter ones and 5 for the longer ones. They are junk food for the brain and chocolate for the heartstrings, ;)

Angie and Brack, you guys convinced me on the Disney Visa. I just went to apply.. and found a $50 gift card bonus so that was a happy perk! And while at the disney store I found PJ's for all the family for Christmas Eve... gotta have the matching Mickey jammies!

Now I am afraid y'all will convince us to buy into DVC too -- I am easily persuaded, not so sure about dh.

[goofyforlife]

DVC tends to sell itself but if you have any questions just ask away....

I'm always happy to talk about our "home away from home." (well that and we could use the referral credits....)

Kristina, do you still need that Mickey Waikiki dress from disney store online? I am placing an order now so I will get it for you.

[klineyqueen]

you guys have me thinking I should get the Disney Visa. I usually use a Northwest Airlines card but it's like that commercial with David Spade, I want to use the miles and they say NO. Actually they say sure, but it will cost you 50k miles per ticket instead of 25k. Totally bugs me. I've started using my Amex now just cuz the points are more usable. But a lot of my vendors still don't take Amex, even though it's btb (argh), so I need some kind of visa or mc. Questions for those who have this card:

1. Can you use the points to pay for your DCL cruise, or just for your stateroom account?

2. Do they ever offer bonuses for signing up, or do I just go ahead and get one now to start racking up the points? ;)

thanks for the help!
I got a 40 point bonus!

I think we need a pirate flag to stake out areas...and a big sign that says, Dead Man Get no Hammock pirate: !

We should transfer pirate flags to the beach to stake out our territory!

They will probably just think something like this:

There goes those crazy lime green people again. :rolleyes: Really what is wrong with these people? Did you see them sprint to the beach wearing numbers on their backs? Oh, and can you believe their behavior at dinner last night? Shouting across the dining room something about Taking Back or Never Giving Bananas. :confused3 Not only that but I think some of them were wearing bedazzled jeans on formal night. How geeky! What are they some kind of cult?
