10/24/2009 - Bash on the Boat (I'm with B.O.B) - Thread # 30

[GOS]

This is Thread #30 of the BOB threads and our cruise starts this Saturday.

Welcome to the "I'm with B.O.B., are you?" Cruise Thread. This cruise has been dubbed the BOB cruise because there are so many cruisers who are celebrating something on board and because of this, it was originally called Bash On the Boat which eventually got shortened to B.O.B. There actually is no one named Bob on this cruise (our KK1 Bob is sadly not joining us this time) but I'm sure all the non-bobers on this cruise would love to be with Bob too :goodvibes


If you're new to our group, you're not alone. Several of us have sailed together before (on the 10/20/07 Western Cruise - a.k.a. Konked Kruisers) and several more are new. To indicate the ones new to the group, we have put an * infront of their DIS name.

The following is the same as the other first posts. For those of you new to our DIS Meet thread - WELCOME. There is plenty of good info in this post.

As usual, I'll be back here to update this post periodically. I will try to keep important information up here for all to reference as well as for all our new friends who come to cruise with us. If something of importance comes up, PM me and I will add the link.

We have dubbed this cruise "The Bash on the Boat" because so many people are celebrating birthdays or anniversaries on this cruise. You will also see "KK2" in the title. As you will read, many of us just sailed together on the 10/20/07 Western Cruise. So, with many of us returning here, we are dubbing this KK2. For those of you who didn't sail with us, please don't feel that you are not part of the group. We are a very open and welcoming/friendly bunch. We had such a great cruise last time, but feel it will be even better this time. Come along and enjoy the fun.

A good place to start for planning this trip would be Cass' website. She has done a great job to organize almost everything you'll need for this cruise and posting here on the BOB board. Here is the link to Cass' site Cass B.O.B. Information Site

Here are links to posts that we found important through this and the previous threads.

TRACKING YOUR DOCS
About 2 weeks before your cruise follow this UPS link.
http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/reference?loc=en_US

In the shipping reference put your cruise confirmation #. In the zip code put your zip or if you used a travel agent put their zip.

This will track your documents. It will give you up to date delivery information. If you used a travel agent it will be sent to them and they will have to get it to you. Most of the stuff that is in the pack you can do online ahead of time now.

DIS TAG
As of August 13th, 2009, Dis Tag participation is CLOSED. In order to give everyone sufficient time to buy and prepare their Dis Tag gifts, we needed to have a cut off date and that date is now passed.

In case anyone is wondering what the FO game we play here on the B.O.B. cruise meets thread, here is the explanation:
FO is a game (for lack of a better description) that was started on the Konked Kruiser thread that some of us belonged to for the October 07 cruise. The term FO was started by afeg.

Anyway, the game in a nutshell....if you post, and your post is the beginning of a page, then you try to get the second post on the page also. It means you have started a "Fresh One".

Now, this isn't always as easy as it seems - if there are multiple posters on at the same time, and someone else gets the second post, you don't get to "claim the FO". The 40 second rule between postings comes into play.


And finally here are two very handy links for your cruise...

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party Tips and Tricks



Remember, you can gain entry to MK as early as 4pm on the day you are attending MNSSHP. Use the turnstyles to the very right-hand side
and don't forget to get your wristbands and TOT bags when you enter!

Here's some tips for those of you who have never gone....

-Get there as early as 4pm, use the entrance at the very far right. Make sure they give you your wrist band and trick-or-treat bag!

-Between 5pm and 7pm is the best time to do the rides as most people are leaving the park!

-If you think you will be there until the end of the party, do the second parade as it is less busy. During the first parade, do the rides as everyone is at the parade.

-If you are watching the first parade, make sure you claim your spot about an hour before the parade!

-Watch the fireworks near the hub/tommorowland entrance to get a good view of the witch flying down from the castle! (The witch takes Tink's place during mnsshp)

-Check out the storefront windows along Main Street, they are decorated for Halloween!

-Make sure to ride Haunted Mansion, it is a totally different atmosphere there during the party.

-You can only buy the mnnshp merchandise (pins, t-shirts, music) during mnsshp party hours, so if you want something party specific, check the stores after 7pm.

-If you want to see characters, there's tons in Tomorrowland (near Carousel of Progress usually) and Fantasyland! Some are only ever seen during the party!

-Don't waste your time getting your fortune told, it's cheesy and the lines can take forever!

-If you want lots of candy, stop by the treat stations near the end of the night, they usually give out handfulls then!

-Make sure to enjoy the atmosphere on Main Street USA and the entrance area, especially if you got there at 4pm when the Halloween decorations weren't all up!

Saw your post about the cats and the luggage. Ours will be doing the same as soon as we make some progress on packing! Matthew hates it, but I do better packing the night before. I'll need to wash some things Thursday, so I can't pack completely. But we are starting a staging area!

[disgrits]

Hi Beth, Angela, Angie, and whoever else is here.:goodvibes

[Tinkerbell.RN]

Goodnight everyone. Dream about the cruise...not about everything you have to do to get there!

I know what you mean, Beth. We put everything in the family room downstairs.. to minimize the "intrusion" I usually wait till the last minute too, but it seemed easier packing ahead for summer when it's getting cold here now! :) The cats are so funny about the luggage.. they KNOW something's up!

[Tinkerbell.RN]

Hi Beth, Angela, Angie, and whoever else is here.:goodvibes

Hi Paige.. Sorry to run, but I have been on here way too long and I need to do a few things before bed!

Ours usually get suspicious too. And the family room is our packing place, too. I'm gradually getting things down there!

Question - looks like Wendi's family & mine are going to be the last ones to leave. Do we still need to turn out the lights when we leave, since #29 is closed? :lmao:

Hey Wendi - how are Rachel & Hannah this morning? Hope they are feeling better! No getting sick this close to vacation! pixiedust:pixiedust:

Good morning everyone...

I didn't make it on the thread too much last night. I just wasn't feeling doing anything that required a lot of concentration. I guess I was mentally lazy. I am at the point of the week where the cruise seems close but yet so far away.

Anyway, Elaine packed up Jay last night and told me that I need to pack today/tonight. I am working today, but don't have too much to do so I will probably come home and do some housework, yardwork and packing done.

Each kid is going to have a small suitcase and Elaine and I will share a large one. We will also have a garment bag. We will probably only have to check 2 bags coming home on Airtran. I will probably just check all of them on JetBlue going down.

[thegrays]

Ok, before too many people head to Florida, I want to ask a question. I know that many are not staying at the Radisson, but are still coming to the DISmeet on Friday night.

Lets do a roll call for the Radisson DISmeet. I am thinking 8:00 or so will be primetime after we all get dinner and do any shopping in the Cocoa Beach area.

My family will be there!


I accidentally posted this on Cass' trip report. I had a tab open for "compose a message" for her thread and this thread and I got them confused. :lmao: Once it posted I saw the different color background and thought, "uh oh, I screwed up!"

Well, my Dave doesn't watch sports, but he LOVES comic books and legos and action figures and toys (something called mini-mates)... so this show is RIGHT up his alley. It cracks me up too!

We also love How I met your Mother..... All the charachters are great, but neil Patrick Harris is the absolute best!

Wow are you lucky Angie!:thumbsup2
I so hate sports, luckily Bob doesn't watch TOO much :rolleyes:

My son doesn't like them at all either, he's ultra geek. Too busy building computers and fixing them and gaming.
No sports though.

my other DVR'd shows, I'll start this one;)

[Scouter]

Well, I'd probably guess that since he doesn't like them he'd probably not
date someone who is into that.
I'm better when he does start dating (he's not interested at all right now)
that she'd better be a geek too, and super smart or he won't be interested
to begin with.
He already rolls his eyes at everyone who can't understand all his computer talk.:headache:

Wait, I think there is just one as soon as you get on the Beachline at MCO and head to the Cape. I remember it now because I had a slow car and I had to "nail" it to get moving out of the toll booth.

[ciao_gina]

We'd love to join you all but I think we won't be in the area until at least 9pm, so don't count on us.....

[ciao_gina]

So I had this weird dream that I was at Walmart people watching and then I was shopping with a friend who kept putting really strange things in my cart so that when I was checking out I had to omit half of it. Then I walked up to the United check-in (you know, the one at every Walmart) and didn't have my driver's license so I tried to use a Costco card and they wouldn't take it. I was really upset about it of course. Thankfully, Douglas woke me up at this point. Why can't I have nice dreams about vacations?

That's quite a dream. Usually I split up our outfits when I pack but this time all of Dan's dinner clothes are in tone suitcase so if it should get lost on the way down he can't eat!!! Seriously, I guess he'd have to go in shorts or buy something really expensive on the ship!




Where are you staying tomorrow night Dan? We will be in Portland Thursday around 6:00 PM.


We are staying at the Hampton Inn by the mall because we have a 6AM flight on Thurs. By the time you get to Portland we will be in FL at OKW.

Sometime later today I have to cash in all of the cans that have been filling up a corner of our garage. That will be money for the kids. Jay has to have his arcade card!!

I saw some posts about classes on the ship but I don't remember who said it. Does anyone know if they have water aerobics classes? That's what I really like.

We are staying at the Hampton Inn by the mall because we have a 6AM flight on Thurs. By the time you get to Portland we will be in FL at OKW.
My kids want me to pull them out of school early on Thursday but Elaine said, "NOOOOOOOO, I need them out of my hair so I can make sure we have everything"

I like our flight time because we can sleep in, relax and eat lunch before heading to the airport for our 1:55 flight.

Uh oh, I just noticed my next post is #5000

[thegrays]

Sometime later today I have to cash in all of the cans that have been filling up a corner of our garage. That will be money for the kids. Jay has to have his arcade card!!

How about, "Come Sail away, come sail away, come sail away with meeeeeee"

Domo arigato!

Ok, before too many people head to Florida, I want to ask a question. I know that many are not staying at the Radisson, but are still coming to the DISmeet on Friday night.

Lets do a roll call for the Radisson DISmeet. I am thinking 8:00 or so will be primetime after we all get dinner and do any shopping in the Cocoa Beach area.

My family will be there!


I accidentally posted this on Cass' trip report. I had a tab open for "compose a message" for her thread and this thread and I got them confused. :lmao: Once it posted I saw the different color background and thought, "uh oh, I screwed up!"

We'll be there :cool1: We're looking at doing Grills for dinner. Chris, didn't you say months ago that you were able to get a coupon off their website? I can't find one there.

[Dee73]

Hi Joanne! I may be up for early morning walks ... especially if I want the clothes I've packed to fit me by the end of the cruise and for the next week that we are down there :lmao: Some of them are kind of iffy already.

[Renysmom]

I am sure you guys (and gals) are running around like crazy getting the last minute things taken care of before you head to the port later this week for you wonderful vacations.

Just wanted to wish all of you a great cruise and ask that you not use up all the warm air, sunshine and pixie dust as you will be turning the Magic over to me upon your return for my 7 days at sea.

Have a WONDERFUL cruise, can't wait to read all your trip reports when you get back. Enjoy and travel safe

[goslingl]

Welcome to my pain. they are so hard to understand.

I hate talking to India. They are nice people but they do not have a clue about retirment plans. The CFO is going there next week and said he hopes he does not pick up something while he was there. I think he is the only one that was at dinner that hopes he does not. ;) OHHHH that was so bad of me.

Okay, I'm off to try and "reduce" the amount of stuff I've got packed. My dear hubbie thinks that I should be able to cut it in half.

I just don't want to be too hot, last time we were at WDW in October it was so hot that we had to buy tank tops and cooler clothes, and when we went to Disneyland in Nov2007 it was record low temps and we froze and all had to buy hoodies and warmer clothes. I've got us packed for pretty much any weather. What to leave out??? :confused3

Saw your post about the cats and the luggage. Ours will be doing the same as soon as we make some progress on packing! Matthew hates it, but I do better packing the night before. I'll need to wash some things Thursday, so I can't pack completely. But we are starting a staging area!

Yup, me too.
I'll be packing Thursday, I hate to pack early. I'm better at last minute.
Also because one of my cats will be laying all over stuff and then there's the ferret.... she'll be in and out of everything and stealing stuff as I put it in:rotfl:

No sports though.
I told him he'd make some girl very happy one day:hug:

Ditto. Our flight gets in about 6 and we will be staying at the Embassey Suites and I have no idea how far that is from the Radisson. We will see everyone at the terminal.

Thanks for the compliments on the lyrical 5000th post. :thumbsup2:goodvibes

I just spent the last two hours redeeming our cans and bottles that have collected in our garage over the past year. I was not able to cash the receipts in yet as there was a long line at the customer service booth and I didn't feel like waiting after being there all afternoon, but I am guessing I the kids will have $40-$50 dollars to split for their own spending. I consider the State of Connecticut to be their annual savings account for vacations! :lmao:

Just a quick post to say safe travels to all. It has been a long time coming but finally here.

See everyone on the ship, or before if our paths cross.

Oh, and happy anniversary to the KKers. 2 years ago today we sailed on KK1. And actually at this time 2 years ago, we were at the Mickey Pool meet. Seems like just yesterday.

I am usually an overpacker, but with the baggage fees, I tried very hard not to over pack. Now, of course, I'm worried that I haven't packed enough! Especially after reading Cass's report about how cold it has been. We will be wearing jeans and hoodie sweatshirts on the plane (we're planning on leaving our coats in the car) and those are the only cool weather clothes we're bringing, really. I am now wondering if I need to bring coats and another sweatshirt, etc. I think I am going to drive myself crazy!

It is truly hard to believe that it has been 14 months and 21 threads since I booked this cruise in August 2008,

and here it is upon us.


Great friends have been made

Great times have been shared

I can't wait to see people on Friday and Saturday


















ok, I'll stop before I ramble :lmao::rotfl:

Well said Chris.

[GOS]

Ok, before too many people head to Florida, I want to ask a question. I know that many are not staying at the Radisson, but are still coming to the DISmeet on Friday night.

Lets do a roll call for the Radisson DISmeet. I am thinking 8:00 or so will be primetime after we all get dinner and do any shopping in the Cocoa Beach area.

My family will be there!


I accidentally posted this on Cass' trip report. I had a tab open for "compose a message" for her thread and this thread and I got them confused. :lmao: Once it posted I saw the different color background and thought, "uh oh, I screwed up!"

If we get back from Grills we'll be there.

Good morning peeps!!! :banana:

Heather have a safe trip! I am so excited!!!! :dance3: I did my dinner with the bosses last night and was nice so I am really ready for the cruise. We were informed that more jobs are going to India. I was very proud of my self because I did not hurl anything across the table at the CFO's head. :rolleyes1 My job is safe because I am client facing. I need to go back and finish thread 29.

We will be wearing jeans and hoodie sweatshirts on the plane (we're planning on leaving our coats in the car) and those are the only cool weather clothes we're bringing, really. I am now wondering if I need to bring coats and another sweatshirt, etc. I think I am going to drive myself crazy!

:crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy:
We are wearing hoodies and jeans on the plane as well. I checked the forecast for Maine on Friday and the high is only 49. I will leave my jacket on my parents house, if I even take it at all.

[GOS]

Anyone know how much the tolls cost to get to the Port? :confused3

On the Greeneway they were $2.75, if I remember correctly.

[GOS]

Ok so it looks like everyone is packed and ready to go. Just want to wish all of you safe travels and a Magical Cruise. Hug everyone for me, and remember do everything I wouldn't do ;)
I'll be sitting by the computer waiting to see the BOB signal (the glare off of Mike's bum as he moons the camera):scared1::sad1:
I expect lots and lots pics and stories when you all come back.

Love ya guys!

You got it Sis.:hug:

[GOS]

We'll be there :cool1: We're looking at doing Grills for dinner. Chris, didn't you say months ago that you were able to get a coupon off their website? I can't find one there.

Joanne said you show your room key and get 10%

[Scouter]

Working 12 hours today! 2 hours of regular overtime 1 1/2 X's pay and 2 hours of V time pay 2X's pay..... means more drinking money for the cruise:thumbsup2:cool1:

But I'm so tired:headache:

[GOS]

Okay, I'm off to try and "reduce" the amount of stuff I've got packed. My dear hubbie thinks that I should be able to cut it in half. Maybe if I remove his stuff :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Okay, not true, I've overpacked all of us. I just don't want to be too hot, last time we were at WDW in October it was so hot that we had to buy tank tops and cooler clothes, and when we went to Disneyland in Nov2007 it was record low temps and we froze and all had to buy hoodies and warmer clothes. I've got us packed for pretty much any weather. What to leave out??? :confused3

Thought we had overpacked but the heaviest suitcase was just over 20kg. :woohoo::woohoo:

[GOS]

Just a quick post to say safe travels to all. It has been a long time coming but finally here.

See everyone on the ship, or before if our paths cross.

Oh, and happy anniversary to the KKers. 2 years ago today we sailed on KK1. And actually at this time 2 years ago, we were at the Mickey Pool meet. Seems like just yesterday.

Good to see you Jeff......2 years ago. Who would've thought.:cool1:

[GOS]

Wonder if I owe either or both of you a smoothie? :rolleyes1

Both :rotfl2::rotfl2:

[millerpjm]

Thought we had overpacked but the heaviest suitcase was just over 20kg. :woohoo::woohoo:

What is the maximum weight you can have? For our airline it's 50 pounds (about 22.7 kg) ...

I weighed my largest bag this morning and it was 40 pounds.

[millerpjm]

Last year- boys close your eyes- I forgot to pack bra's:scared1:. Luckily I had the one I had on and one in my after cruise bag!! If was only a four day and had to CC days, so I was in my bathing suit most of the time anyway.


Oops!

Better make sure that is on my list!!! :goodvibes:goodvibes

[GOS]

Nows the time...
to say goodbye....
to all my fellow BOB'ers

We'll see you all soon...
At WDW or the port....
and hope that I don't scream to much!

Take care everyone. Safe travels and we'll see you soon.

[GOS]

One last FO perhaps?

We're allowed (at the moment) 2 x 32kg cases each.

Safe trip across the pond tomorrow. We will see you Friday evening. :thumbsup2

[KSFrogge]

I have a bad habit of always checking to make sure I have my legal documentation for the cruise, ie birth certificates and now passports.

Speaking of which, I have to sign our passports and fill in the current info page in pencil.

AHH! Thanks for reminding me. I'm the same way about documents. I'm a freak about checking every 5 minutes that tickets, docs, ID's etc are not GONE somehow...:eek:

[myfourkitties]

Hi, it's Robyn and Jayson checking in.... :goodvibes

I CANNOT keep up with you all on the posts! I had to give up about 100 pages ago! :scared1:

I'll try to keep a watch on this thread, but I think this may be my last post before we all meet. I still have housework to do, not to mention PACK!!! :eek:

We didn't make shirts, but we will have nametags on at the port. I don't think I can post pictures, as I haven't made enough posts yet. If you want pics of Jayson and I, you can look us up on Facebook. My page is located at

http://www.facebook.com/rbentley74?ref=name

and it shows Jayson as my husband. I have a few pictures of all of my furry children, too!

I hope everyone has a safe trip down! See you there!
:dance3: :cool1: :yay: :woohoo: :banana:

[KSFrogge]

Glad I am not alone!!! :thumbsup2:lmao:

Oh no, you're not alone. That's the one thing I'm really obsessive about.. I'm sure I will check my bag over 100 times between home and the ship. I will get pangs of fear if my envelope is not immediately found in my bag. Then I will franticly check the contents of it again. :rotfl: I sound crazy :crazy: I'm not.. really.. :laughing:

It was such a beautiful afternoon here about 60 degrees that I dicided to jump on the lawn tractor and work on picking up and at lest getting one truck load of leaves before we left and it neatins up the yard a bit and its that much less i will have to do when we get back. I quit thats enough work.

[Dyerneeds]

It is truly hard to believe that it has been 14 months and 21 threads since I booked this cruise in August 2008,

and here it is upon us.


Great friends have been made

Great times have been shared

I can't wait to see people on Friday and Saturday


ok, I'll stop before I ramble :lmao::rotfl:

well said my friend.:cool2:

Ok, before too many people head to Florida, I want to ask a question. I know that many are not staying at the Radisson, but are still coming to the DISmeet on Friday night.

Lets do a roll call for the Radisson DISmeet. I am thinking 8:00 or so will be primetime after we all get dinner and do any shopping in the Cocoa Beach area.

My family will be there!


I accidentally posted this on Cass' trip report. I had a tab open for "compose a message" for her thread and this thread and I got them confused. :lmao: Once it posted I saw the different color background and thought, "uh oh, I screwed up!"

underdog and his sweet polly will be there.:hug:

Last night I dreamed that I forgot to pack my dresses for formal and semi formal night...:scared1:and that my parents were with us......:scared1: and that my mom kept passing gas in from of our cabin host....:scared1::scared1::scared1:

:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

Count Chuck and I in! :thumbsup2



Too funny Paige. I just told Chuck this morning that I had a dream that I forgot to pack part of my formal wear. I checked the suitcase and sure enough, I did forget to pack it!! :scared1:

:rotfl2:

[Scouter]

Douglas only watches 49ers games and he watches them on Tivo so he fast-forwards half the game. Perfect!

:thumbsup2

[Scouter]

I am sure you guys (and gals) are running around like crazy getting the last minute things taken care of before you head to the port later this week for you wonderful vacations.

Just wanted to wish all of you a great cruise and ask that you not use up all the warm air, sunshine and pixie dust as you will be turning the Magic over to me upon your return for my 7 days at sea.

Have a WONDERFUL cruise, can't wait to read all your trip reports when you get back. Enjoy and travel safe

Thanks! Hope you have a wonderful cruise also:hug:

Seasons of Fun---in a week...

600, 4thousand 800 seconds
600 4thousand moments so dear
600 4 thousand 800 seconds
How do you measure, a time so dear
in daylights
in sunsets
in midnights (Rockn Bar D)
in cups or smoothies
in inches,
in miles of laughter and smiles
in 600, 4thousand 800 seconds
how do you measure
a week on a cruise?

How about fun????
How about fun????
How about fun???
Measuring fun

Season of Funnnnnnnnn
Season of Funnnnnnnnn

600,4 thousand 800 seconds
600,4 thousand moments so dear
600 4thousand 800 seconds


or (Courtesty of JetBlue Airways)

So if you dare to find me,
Look to the southern sky
as someone told me lately
Everyone deserves a chance to fly!
But I'm not flying solo
I'm certainly not flyin free!
To those I'll see,
Take a message back from me
Tell them I'm defying gravity
on my way to the cruise
Defying Gravity!
And soon we'll be there in the end
And nobody, or swine flu or cold
is ever gonna bring me Down

(Chorus fills in
I hope your happy,
Look at him, he's giddy
Join him!
Join me,
And I'll see, You on the the cruise! (mega crescendo)
oh ah ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (my best Idina Menzel imimatation)

Cool!:thumbsup2

And I love RENT too!

[Scouter]

Hi guys. Just wanted to pop on and say hi. I haven't been able to catch up on the old thread and won't have time to do so. Sooooo, I will see you all on Sat at the port or at the party on Thur night!!!!
We leave tomorrow to start driving down. Going to get to Orlando on Thursday and see Sean and Cath then head over to the party.:banana:
We still have packing to finish. :scared1: I don't know how it will all get done before tomorrow, but somehow it will.

Bye Lori, see you soon! Safe and happy travels:hug:

[Scouter]

You don't need a coupon, just show them your room key.

Really? Cool!

[Scouter]

Chris, you are my new best friend!!!! Two broadway adaptations in one poem!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Love me some Rent AND Wicked - probably because I'm a HUGE Idina Menzel fan... even saw her in concert last year here in Richmond)

:worship::worship::worship::worship::worship:

O! Didn't know second part was from Wicked. Haven't seen it yet but I've read both books and loved them.
Waiting to see the play sometime.

[Scouter]

Guess once again I'm the only one on here trying to catch up.
