August 28, 2004 "LOST AT SEA" Cruise

[Mjasp]

Lyn...I can't believe it, I was just telling the story about my DD yesterday, you didn't have to play..."can you top this" LOL It can be damgerous when you are allergic. But you will be everyone's favorite person on board, I mean with the pain killers and all.

I am trying to get through this week unscaved (sp?) This was the week last year where everything went wrong.

[pattiteach]

That sounds good, I will be at the meet after the drill.

[missinshadow]

I live in Citrus County Florida Which is about an hour north of tampa on the gulf of mexico side. You know where Hurricane Charley may hit :scared: :scared1: ugh!!
Hope they all (huricanes)stay away on our cruise.

[missinshadow]

We will also try to be at the meet after the drill. See you all then.:bounce: :Pinkbounc

[missinshadow]

:cool1: :cool1: :flower1: :flower1: 16 DAYS!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!! :cool1: :cool1::flower1: :flower1:

[missinshadow]

Sorry i forgot to answer you:yo-yo: :yo-yo: (<- me lately)

We are driving in on Saturday. 16 of us. It would be great for your DD and my DS to get together with the other kids. He hangs out with everyone. He's an only child so he's happy when others are around he has cousins coming but he's the youngest by a few years so they will probably do things he can't. He will be in the lab about half of the time.

House is getting crazy now that we are so close to crusin'

[natdencro]

Feel very sorry for anyone with tooth problems, especially during a cruise! Anyway, just wanted to say that I had dental problems on our Western cruise last year, and needed urgent treatment. No dentist on board the Magic, but was directed to the new Medical Centre in Cozumel. Although it's in a dodgy area (take a cab: too far to walk) it is bright and very new. The treatment was first class: I was seen and treated within the hour, and was back at Carlos and Charlies in time for lunch with DD (CM). While at the MC, we saw a vast number of crew from other cruise-ships who needed medical/dental treatment, so it is well-known. The Mexican dentist spoke little English, but the nurse did: on my return to UK I saw my own Dentist, and he said the Mexican guy had done a first class job!

While I hope NONE of you require treatment on your vacations, I thought it may just be of help to anyone, should they need treatment. Happy hols to you all. Nat:Pinkbounc

[SeaSpray]

Bobby: I sent you a PM with our info. Thanks! :)

Nat: Thanks for that info. It is good to know, just in case an emergency comes up while on the cruise. :)

[pattiteach]

Bobby- we are in room 8062 The DeLuca's and our favorite character is Goofy. That for doing such a great job!!!

[Mjasp]

Nat...Thanks for that info, its good to have

Pattiteach
You were looking for other 10 year olds. My granddaughter, Allysa, is 10.
My daughter Laurie & my granddaughter & I are going. This will be our first cruise.
We are from Jersey:sunny:

[Mary Anne]

Welcome trinibjill. Glad to you you sailing with us!

[O'BWV]

Welcome to our group trinibjill!!

Lot of great people here! I'm from Jersey too - Old Bridge.


pattiteach - I have a 11-year-old son, he'll be in the lab. He's a sports nut.



-Mary Rose

[Reenieny18]

Stay safe and let us know how the storm hits TAMPA area...
I have my family in KW and they had to get boarded up. They sent the family an email telling us the conditon at KW. This is their first full yr down there, so new experience for them. I guess the gov't wants the bars to close at 10pm so all the town drunks will be home when the storm hits. I guess this is a normal thing for the bars to stay open and last out the storms,,,lol

Welcome trinibjill We are a great bunch of poeple.
Mary Rose: did I tell you my son is 11 as well and love SCIENCE and all that fun stuff... he too plans on being in the lab all day..
Lynn : are you feeling better?:hug:Natdrenco: Thanks for the great advice. I will have to tell you guys the story of Busch Gardens Water Country in Vir. and my husbands broken face after colliding with my head on a water ride... Talk about a BAD vacation....:headache:
Doreen:wave2:

[SeaSpray]

Welcome, trinibjill :) :wave2:


I hope everyone stays safe from this storm. Jason and Travis, how are you doing? Doreen, I hope your family stays safe!! In 2 weeks I guess WE will all be keeping a very close eye on the weather!

[Samsara]

Hi all--

Thanks for all of the well wishes. It's a pretty ordinary night here in Tampa Bay so far. Well, ordinary for us at least. The St. Petersburg Times is reporting that Pinellas County (us, Clearwater-St. Petersburg) and Hillsborough County (Tampa) are under a Level C Evacuation. Between the two counties the evacuation covers 800,000 people.

Travis and I went to get some supplies earlier today and the stores were packed. I don't think there is a gallon of water or a single C or D battery in the county! Luckily, we were able to stock up on cat food and human food and a few goodies from ABC Liquor. ;) (Anyone want to join us for a hurricane party?)

Here's a picture of the "water" section from Super Target taken earlier today. Notice the, um, lack of water! :)

http://www.knology.net/~jwoodrum/target.jpg

The roads were jammed much earlier in the day but things have died down quite a bit now. Pretty calm and quiet as far as the weather goes too. Generally, we always see really nice conditions when a hurricane is out in the gulf. They tend to suck all the moisture out of the air which gives us a break from the humidity we're so accustomed to! Very quite out there now with no wind or anything.

I guess they are predicting that the hurricane will make landfall around 2 P.M. tomorrow or so. Travis gets the day off as everything is closed and boarded up around here.

It's funny because with all the news surrounding the NJ Gov. the storm has been pushed to the back burner on the main news sites! Well, at least here in Tampa Bay we think the storm is a bigger story! ;)

We'll keep you guys updated!

[sandygirl]

WELCOME trinibjill! Another Jersey town represented. There are quite a few of us. Does your grandaughter also live in Florence? We brother counseled in an elementary school there. She might know him.

Glad you are onboard.

Darlene

[missinshadow]

Not sure where Jason and Travis are. Hopefully they evacuated if they are in the evacuation zones. We are in a house so no evacuation needed for us but all mobile homes and people directly on the coast have to be evacuated. We are expecting winds of about 70-120 mph. Gusts up to 150 mph. We are buttoning down and getting ready. Last warning puts it going right over us.

Send some Pixie Dust our way and Jason and Travis's way for a safe day tomorrow:(

That's a good question, Jason. I actually have a pair of black capris that are scalloped on the hem and my co-workers call them my "Pirate Pants". Wait until I tell them that I will be right in style for Pirate night. They already think I'm crazy so it can't hurt! They're a bunch of Brats.

I'm thinking a bandana on the head and a peasant blouse and an eye patch would work. Think that is a little over the top?

[missinshadow]

Glad to see my fellow Floridians. As I posted You guys also posted so i'm glad to see you guys are prepared as well.

Carolyn:D

[sandygirl]

To all our friends in Florida: stay safe. Thanks for the report Jason. I mentioned on another thread that my sons are not too far from you. Our prayers are for personal and property protection from the storm. Carolyn, glad to hear that you are buttoned down. Can't imagine winds that strong. Hope they pass over quickly and move on out of there before any damage can occur.

Carolyn:D

I'm prepared, I got a fresh bottle of Scotch tonight. :teeth: Anyway, no evacuations for us, we're not in a zone. I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings. Could be quite a storm. It looks like it's making the turn to the north like they predicted. The national weather service official track http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ftp/graphics/AT03/refresh/AL0304W+GIF/130318W.gif puts it right at the mouth of Tampa Bay sometime tomorrow. Of course we know that could change, but surprisingly the forcast hasn't shifted a huge amount though.

[nuts4sn00py]

Hi all! :wave2: Welcome Trinibjill! I too have a DD who is 10...soon to be 11. I don't think she plans to be with us at all on the Cruise! Except to go to the pool, which she would live in if she could!LOL! Jason & Travis: Batten down those hatches! My DH's Aunt lives in Clearwater & we know how bad the storms can get for all of you! I would only be too happy to attend your Hurricane Party! Cheers!:drinking: :drinking1 I need no excuse to attend a party. But seriously, stay dry & stay safe, and Travis...enjoy your day off! Kathy :wave2:

Hi Carolyn!

Glad to hear you guys are not in an evac. zone and have everything prepared for the storm. We're in North Clearwater. Basically, we're not too far from where the Courtney Campbell Causeway hits land on the Pinellas side.

We're also not located in an evacuation zone and we'll be here thoughout the length of the storm. Although, I think if I was in an evac. zone I would have left long ago! :)

Talk to you soon and take care.



To all--

Thanks a bunch for all of your well wishes! We do appreciate them! :)

[winnyis]

Jason & Travis... I hope that you both continue to stay safe and enjoy that hurricane party.

Trinibill... we are your neighbors.. We live in Burlington Township, NJ .. we have a 9 year old DD and a 6 Year old DS


One more week for me... I am having a "pool party" today for a bunch of people I work with.. unfortunately mother nature doesnt look like she is gonna cooperate so more than likely I will have an indoor party.. too late to cancel... I spent a fortune on food and booze.

Ginny

[SeaSpray]

Two weeks to go!!! :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

So who is the first of us to leave for vacation?? I know some of you are leaving a week before the cruise, to start your vacations. :sunny:

It's raining all the way up here in Massachusetts. I think it's a good day to get the suitcases out and start packing!!! ::yes::

[SeaSpray]

My DH really needs a vacation, badly! LOL

Poor guy........ remember he fell down the family room stairs last week? Well yesterday he dropped his travel mug full of coffee as he was getting into his truck yesterday morning. And, just now, before he even got out of the house, he walked past the kitchen table and must've brushed against one of his travel mugs full of coffee and knocked it on the floor, making a HUGE LAKE of hot coffee, splashing on his pants and shoe. LOL I'm glad it's nothing more serious than spilled coffee, but he really needs to get away. LOL

He is NOT usually like this, I know he's had a lot of stress at work. I hope he makes it another 2 weeks till the cruise!!
:scared: (Guess who got the "fun" of cleaning up the spilled coffee???? LOL)

[O'BWV]

Doreen - Not only are our DSs both 11, I believe our DDs are close in age too (mine 14). I'm hoping she'll spend time at the Stack, but I'm not so sure. She does love movies though and has purposely not seen the latest films so that she can watch them onboard.

To all our Fl. friends - Please stay safe and sound!!



-Mary Rose

[winnyis]

Terry - I leave next saturday the 21st @ 7AM for vacation so I may be one of if not the first to leave.

Who's next???

[admepo]

Hi everyone!

Well we are expecting Charley here in the next few hours...rain is beginning and some wind but nothing too bad yet! Hopefully will all be ok. Our house is in the surge zone but no evacuation here either. The canal across the street is direct access to the Caloosahatchee River so we are a little worried about water. It took FOREVER to take down the backyard toys (trampoline, swingset, etc) and supplies at Walmart, Publix etc were hard to find but we have plenty of stuff and I, being the candle nut I am, have plenty of candles to light the house! The scents in here should be interesting with all of my Partylite boxes! Our area (Ft. Myers/Cape Coral) has been going nuts - most houses are boarded up. They are still saying 80mph wind gusts for us and the eye passing by us at around 2pm where it will have been increased to category 3. Should be an interesting ride! :rolleyes:

Good Luck all fellow Floridians in Charleys path! Hopefully will be able to talk to you all soon!

Melanie

[Karel]

We leave Tuesday morning, the 23th at 3 am.

trinibjill - my daughter, Katie, is also 10. My younger son is 12 and he'll be in that same group. His name is Kyle.

There'll be a lot of Dis kids in that age group.

Our best wishes go to everyone in Florida. I have a brother in law in the Keys and one in the panhandle. We plan to give them a call tomorrow. The other one in Ft. Lauderdale should be out of the storm path.

[lynr]

Our prayers are with everyone in Florida. I hope the weather men are wrong and it passes you by and goes out to sea.

Let us know how you are!

Lyn

[SeaSpray]

Just want to say again that I hope EVERYONE stays safe through these storms. DIS friends, please check in during the day, if you can!!

**************************************************

PRE-CRUISE PARTY: Anyone having one? I just sent out "evites" (www.evites.com) to DH and DSs. They had a "Bon Voyage" theme that I used. I'm going to have a pre-cruise party for our family on the Sunday night before the cruise. That's when we'll all sit down together and fill out the documents, and I plan on having party food, and I'm going to make up some DCL trivia questions, and give out prizes. LOL I'll see who's been paying attention to all of my cruise chatter for the past year! LOL I'll probably get some Disney Dollars, some of those light-up glo necklaces, and anything else that might appeal to teenaged boys, as the prizes. I'm going to ask trivia questions such as "How many pools are on the Magic?", "What's the name of the tropical theme restaurant?" "What's the left side of a ship called?" etc. Any other ideas for the party that you can think of?? :sunny:

[Mjasp]

First off...Well wishes to all our Florida friends. Sounds like you all are prepared. True Floridians, no panic, just getting the necessities, wine, scotch, candles. LOL But in reality, what else can you do. Our friend just moved to Cape Coral, I wonder how she is doing. What is Cape Coral expecting?

Welcome to our new DISer Trinibjill.

2 more weeks :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc One pinkbounce for each week.

Today is my kids last day of camp, wish me luck for the next 2 weeks until we cruise. I'm bored... will start at 4 PM today as soon as the bus drops them off.

I will check in later, all our Florida friends, if you have power, please post during the day to let us know what is happening first hand.

Good Luck
Joanna

[admepo]

Joanna.... I live in SW Cape Coral and they are all going crazy here because the surge they were expecting at 4-6ft which would have been bad has now changed to 8-10ft which means major flooding and home flooding as well. I live right across the street from a small canal not even a mile from the Caloosahatchee river so we are definitely concerned about water! We have the garage reinforced but that won't stop the water. As you said, no true panic here, but definite concern about flooding. They are changing the sewer/water in our neighborhood (if your friend lives in the Cape she can fill you all in about the water project they made a mess out of here) which causes our road to flood when it rains so I can't imagine what it will look like after today!

Just watching the news and heard that Tampa area may turn off all power to downtown Tampa to salavge it! So that can give you an idea what is going on down here. They are giving our area now 80-110mph gusts and the movement of the hurricane possibly moving more to the east more which will be a major problem for our area and Charlotte county area below the Tampa area. They keep saying "wobbles" in the track of Charley that they have to keep a close eye on to possibly go more NE instead of NNW track they were thinking of! Who knows!!! :) We will "ride out the storm" just the same.

Making my mudslides early in case the power goes out and the blender won't work! LOL

Thanks for all the well wishes and more to all of the rest of you as well!

Melanie

[winnyis]

Melanie you are a girl after my own heart.. making mudslides before the power goes out... too funny.

Seriously though... to all our florida friends.. be safe and please check in if at all possible so we know you are ok... you guys are like our extended families and we are all concerned about your safety.

Ginny

[Reenieny18]

I agree with ...Ginny . That must be the thing to do in a storm... DRINK:drinking1
Joanna . My son has been away all week too. I get him about 5pm and then they have a family dinner...before we all leave the camp. its about 2 hrs from home...
Terry : we leave Wednesday for WDW.. WHAOO..:sunny: Keep your DH in a bubble... Karel: check your dates Tuesday is the 24. Monday is the 23,,, dont want you to miss the boat.

Stay safe Florida families and friends.

[Mary Anne]

I think I may be the 2nd to leave, we leave Sunday the 22nn, relaxing at the OKWest till Friday Morning when we move over to the Radisson!

All of you in Florida and in the path of the hurricane stay safe.

[admepo]

Well seems Charley wants a mudslide with me because it is coming through to Ft. Myers and Cape Coral! Will hopefully talk to all of you soon! Gotta go finish prepping!

Melanie

[Reenieny18]

Stay safe Melanie.. Protect the MUDSLIDES at all cost..lol

:teeth:
Doreen

[nuts4sn00py]

Doreen: You & I are going to get along real well on this Cruise! Protect the Mudslides is exactly what I would be doing!LOL! Seriously, though, my thoughts & prayers are with all Floridians who have to go thru this. I hope Charlie loses some of its power as it hits land & no one has too much property damage or worse! Stay dry & stay safe! BTW: I hope to be bringing mudslide mix on board, anybody know a good place to pick this up when I get down there? I usually buy TGIF's brand with the Liquor already in it, unfortunately I won't have my blender, but I can make a mean ready made mudslide! :drinking1 anyone care to join us? Kathy :wave2:

[missinshadow]

Hope all is going well for you. Sorry to here your in the path. We were but then it moved to you guys. We are getting outer edges of it. Keep us updated. Stay safe!!!!:boat: :grouphug: :umbrella:



Carolyn

[missinshadow]

:rockband: 14 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rockband:

[Samsara]

OK, Melanie, we hope you guys are safe and that Charley didn't give you much trouble.

We pretty much escaped without seeing any rain or even any wind. Lost a few branches on some trees around here when the early, early feeder bands went through in the AM.

Please let us know if we can help with anything.

Jason

[missinshadow]

Are we able to change a person who is going? If someone can't go can we put someone else in?

[Samsara]

Carolyn--

I think you can do that with relative ease as long as the "main" person on the reservation isn't the one you want to change.

I think that if they have already sent out the docs and you request a change they may charge you an additional fee to send out new ones.

[missinshadow]

Thanks for the info. I would think that since we have to scratch out and rewrite all of the info on all of our docs anyways ( all wrong) it shouldn't be a problem. They even have completely wrong last names and addresses on most of our docs not just misspells.

Anyway, thanks for the info. and i am glad you didn't receive much of the storm either. We were very lucky once again.

Carolyn

[missinshadow]

There are two new tropical depressions brewing in the Atlantic.

Praying they stay away for our cruise. We all should be spredding gallons of Pixie Dust around to help.

Hope everyone is almost ready for the cruise. i am just about done packing.

Glad all is well with you guys, Melanie, let us know as soon as possible how everything is going over there. My mother in law and sister and brother all live in Orlando and they were having bad winds the last time we spoke with them. I have cousins and an Aunt and Uncle in Brooksville, Tampa and Spring HIll. Glad it wasn't that bad, but what is it with 2 more storms brewing. I guess if they are brewing now they will be gone in 2 weeks.

Good Night
Joanna

[Reenieny18]

I hope everyone survived well, with minimal to no damage. It seems that the storm hit areas that were not excpected.
Did you see that the Orlando airport is closed until 12 noon?
I can't imagine the folks that have arrivals for cruises today.Melanie: are you safe?? Please tell me the mudslides were safe?? I wonder if my SMOOTHIE MAKER will fit inthe carry on..lol
Seriously, I hope everyone is well.

Well, my son is back from BSA camp.. real muddy and so tired. I think I will let him sleep in. Good thing the cruise is after his camp.. he needs to be pampered after a week of wilderness.

Weather channel is the station to watch :listen: Lets hope that Tropical Depression comes and goes without effecting us.

:grouphug: to all
Doreen

[Mary Anne]

I keep thinking about those people sailing today. DCL Travel has major problems on their hands, not to mention the poor people stressing about the flights. All the early flights from all the airlines out of NYC to Orlando have been cancelled. Assuming they can get these people on late morning noon flights they should make the 6:30 sailing tonight.

I am now a wonderful wife having the foresight to say we spend the week in disney before the cruise. I figure I've built in a six day cushion. We'll be watching a lot of that Travel Channel in the next week.

I have a really big favor to ask, could I leave someone my cell phone # before I leave in case something goes on with changes to the cruise due to weather. I will not have any internet access for the week before and while I will be @ disney, we all know all the important information will be posted here first :lol :lol

I know someone else will also be at the OKWest the week before, do they want to exchance cell phone #'s also. If another storm does kick up I figure we'll be in the same boat LOL so to speak.

[winnyis]

Doreen.. I think we are somehow related... DH and I had a party last night and he said the same thing to me - Do you think we can fit the smoothy maker in our carry on...LOL.

As far as the hurricane... my brother in law's mother lives in Punta Gorda - where the eye hit.... her house was destroyed.. thankfully she is not hurt but of course is terribly upset. BIL is trying to get down there but has been told that even if he flies into Tampa or Sarasota and drives down , that local officials are not going to allow him to get near where his mothers house was. BIL, of course is totally stressing and to complicate matters his father is in a nursing home in Punta Gorda and they dont even know when they will be able to get to see him.

I hope all our DISers fared better than that and we all continue to be safe.

Ginny

[Mary Anne]

Ginny, so sorry to hear about your family. That is terrible. I will keep them in my prayers. Please keep us updated.

[Reenieny18]

Maryanne, when do you leave for WDW. I think I am there before you. Sad thing is, daughter and sister will go to Magic Kingdom, while DH, and DS will drive to Daytona for the day. Both areas are pretty barron today.
I read on the main board that RCL(I think it was them) left the port 3 hrs earlier. Can you imagine if you missed the boat.
I agree will all of you go there a day or two earlier . Ginny: My prayers with your BIL mother. How terrible. Here I am worried about going on a cruise... while others lost lifes and belongings. May God hear our prayers....

But still,, the selfish side of me says,, pack less to fit the SMOOTHIE MAKER :hyper: :teeth:
Ok where is MELANIE we have heard from Jason and Travis.. anyone else is that area??

I know what you mean, Doreen! Here I am getting ready to go out shopping this morning for "prizes" that I'm going to give to DH and DSs at our "pre-cruise" party next weekend. I'm making up a trivia quiz and I'll see how carefully they've been listening to me for the past year while I've been planning this cruise. LOL But it does seem selfish to think about prizes after what happened to so many people down there :( Oh well. :worried:

I hope Melanie can check in with us soon. Is it just Melanie, and Jason and Travis, from our thread, who live down there??

[Mary Anne]

Doreen, we leave next Sunday the 22nd for 5 nights at the OkWest, then moving to the Radisson Friday morning.

I know what you mean about feeling so badly for those people who have lost so much, while we are going about our planning. Very thought provoking.

[winnyis]

Thanks for all your thoughts and kind wishes for my BIL's mother...She is such a sweet lady and has been through so much this year that my heart just breaks for her.


I was just talking to my best friend in Sarasota and she said they fared ok but she was very scared. She said that because they expected the storm to hit closer to Tampa/Clearwater area.. they had told residents in those areas to head south to the Port Charlotte/Arcadia area... right where the storm changed course to and hit. I feel terrible for those people who thought they were doing the right thing only to be heading right into the worst of the storm.

I am so sorry to hear about this, Ginny :( :( I'm glad she wasn't harmed, but I can't imagine how it must feel to have your house destroyed :( :( All of those poor people down there, dealing with this today :( :( :(

[DisneyMagicTravis]

I just hope that Melanie and her family are alright. They are in Cape Coral right near Captiva Island there why eyewall hit. That area is in very bad shape right now. I'm sure they are probably without power and everything. I hope their home is ok. It is extremely torn up down there. Hopefully we will hear from them! I'm sure chatting on the internet is the least of anyone's worries down there though right now.

[lynr]

My heart breaks for all the people in Florida and our prayers are with them.

I hope all of our DIS friends are ok.

Ginny I am sorry to hear about your family. I hope everything works out for them. I can't imagine how awful it is not to be able to get to them when something like this happens.

Has anyone heard from Melanie? Cape Coral was hit very bad.

I feel selfish now worring about how we would get to the cruise ship if this happened when we were going.

Pixie Dust to everyone we will keep you in our prayers.

Ginny...Our best to your BIL and family.

DH spoke to his mother this morning, she lives in Orlando, about a mile from Sea World, they have no power, and some shingles were blown off their roof, but otherwise they are OK.

I do hope Melanie and her family are OK and their home survived without damage.

Now tonight and tomorrow is the rain for us from Charley.

[Mary Anne]

I have gone into Yellow Alert in my house. We are going to be packed and ready to go by Thursday evening.

We're due to fly out next Sunday, in the event the next tropical storm hits and it looks like there will be a problem with us either flying out of the NYC area or into Orlando on that day and flight, I will start to try and get us on a flight (any flight) starting Friday.

My kids are LOL The last Disney cruise we took 4 years ago, something happened last minute and we ended up flying standby earlier in the day then we were supposed to and we were split up on different flights.

I've decided to be prepared!

[winnyis]

I am also doing the same thing... DH and Kids are totally packed,, Im just waiting for the last load of laundry to finish mine. I will be done this weekend except for toiletries.

We leave saturday AM and I want to make sure I am prepared should we also have to try to get out of NJ earlier.

Ginny

Anyone heard from Melanie yet????

[missinshadow]

Hope all others in Florida are doing well.

Ginny: I hope your BILs' MIL is doing okay. At least she is safe that is what matters most.

My prayers are with Melanie and her family. THings look pretty bad and she probably won't have power for a week or two.

We faired okay where we are but today we had some tough weather. 13 days and we are out of this mess for a week.


Hope everyones packing up. Have a great Sunday!

Carolyn

[Reenieny18]

I didnt know you were in Florida as well. :wave2: Glad you got through it well. We were watching CNN and MSNBC tonight and can't fathom the destruction that was created.
10 more days here till we leave...
Melanie: here is hoping its just because of power lines down..:scared: . and where is Bobby and Cindy? They were having a party as well.. but they are here in NY right??


Have a safe night everyone and a brighter tomorrow:sunny:
Doreen

[sandygirl]

Glad to hear from those in Florida. Melanie is still in our thoughts.

Spoke with my son in Plant City. He said everything was fine there. My son who lives in Tampa was evacuated and he rode out the storm in Plant City. My daughter-in-law in North Carolina said the wind lifted her car and really shook the house. But she is ok and was more worried about the family in Florida. She's so sweet. She did say the dog had a rough time with the weather, barking and all.

It's raining here now. Not sure what to expect tomorrow. The forecast doesn't seem very stable.

Our prayers are with all those who lost so much. Pray that they get the services set up quickly to bring them relief.

11 more days until we leave for Florida...

Hopefully no more storms, especially on the drive down...

See you all soon..

Bobby

[pattiteach]

What are the chances of another Hurricane hitting again this hard when we sail??? I am flying down that morning, and to change our airfare will cost us almost 1,000. I am really scared now.

Nice to hear from you. I tried to PM you and the system was busy. I'll ty again today.

We're packing too. Asked DH what he was bringing with him and didn't get much of an answer. Good thing he packs himself. He lost so much weight that none of his jeans fit him. So, I guess he will be traveling sans jeans.

I have been trying to find all my lime green clothes so I can pick something to wear for the DIS MEET..lol. You think you guys will notice me?
I checked out a few of the other
cruise meet boards most of them only have 7 -15 pages of bantering back and forth. We are up to 139 now,,lol What a great bunch of people we are..
Can't wait...:Pinkbounc


Melanie where are you?????:worried:

Doreen

We are the Driscoll family! Me, my DH and my DS16. Also travelling with my DMom, DSis, DNiece11 and DNephew8.

Hope everyone in Florida is OK!

[Reenieny18]

Looks like you may be the first of us to go.. Make a safe path for us to get there ok? We have kids close to the same age, but my daughter is 15 and son is 11...:wave:
We have friends that go to Vero Beach the day before the cruise. They live in Norton Mass.
Still no MELANIE??

Doreen:jumping1: :cool1: :thewave: so excited....

[Mary Anne]

I have to preface this with the words, I am directly challanged.

How far is Vero from the Port?

I was very bad today, did very little of stuff to get ready. I'm going to pay for it dearly next weekend.

[sandygirl]

I can't tell you how much fun it has been planning this cruise with you all. All the humor and special touches have made it so interesting. Seeing Bobby's magnet today just put me over the top. This has all been such a great distraction. Thank you all.

Darlene

[Mary Anne]

I know what you mean Sandy, I'm going to miss this thread and everyone on it. We're going to have to move to the community board.

[trinibjill]

Thanks everyone that welcomed me to the group.
Winnyis - I used to live in Burl Twnshp (Bridle Club 12 yrs) Sold the house went to live nearer to my DD's. The money from the house paid for this cruise.
I knew about the DCL board - copied the cruise guide. Purchased the passporter's guide - it's awesome. I met Fred the one who did the dis meet in Apr in Jersey. There was a man there who wrote a new book on Disney Trivia. Very - very informative.
I didn't know about the threads of people that are going to the same place.
My other DD (tiggerwannabe) told me to look for a disboard like yours. I found you last week.
I ordered my magnet - booked the excursions - & my DD & DGD & I have been talking about what we are bringing (etc)
We are looking forward to meeting everyone.
Jill, Laurie & Alyssa

Norton, MA is close to me! A few of DS16's friends live in Norton. :)

[Karel]

We put the car top carrier on the van today!

I've decided to re-vamp my whole packing plan - packing two suitcases of dress up clothes and two suitcases of shorts, shirts ect. so we don't have to drag every suitcase into the Yacht Club.

I would like to see the new "Pirates" dinner menu. I had planned Palo's that night but now I might change.

Ah, I love these kinds of decisions...

[mikesmom88]

Looks like you may be the first of us to go.. Make a safe path for us to get there ok? We have kids close to the same age, but my daughter is 15 and son is 11...

We are leaving on Thursday morning (driving), staying at BCV for 3 nights and then off to VB until the morning of the cruise. My DS16 is pretty shy so I hope he meets up with others at the DisMeet the 1st day onboard. My Dniece11 on the other hand, makes friends so easily.


How far is Vero from the Port?
It is about a 1 1/2 hour drive form VB to the port.


We put the car top carrier on the van today!
We did that today also. Just about finished packing and can't wait to get going!


Looks like you may be the first of us to go.. Make a safe path for us to get there ok?
Pxie dust to all for a safe trip and good weather!

[missinshadow]

Anyone think we'll hit 200 pages before we go? What an awesome board and you all are a great group of people.
Thanks for all the info.

Hi Ellen: I think our DSs have been emailing, so I hope they hit it off when we finally all get to meet on the ship :)

[Mjasp]

One Million still without power in Florida, I'm sure that is why we haven't heard from Melanie.

So what do you all think with us getting a hurricane when its our time to sail, do you think we will have crystal clear waters and sail the Western Caribbean OR outsmart GASTON and visit the Eastern Caribbean. I like what someone else said on another thread that "Gaston" the name for a storm with a "G" has a score to settle with Disney LOL

[lynr]

In 2000 we had a very interesting cruise with Disney. We didn't know from one minute to the next where we were going since we were out running a hurrcaine. We found it to be great. We stopped in Cozumel, Freeport and we did Castaway Cay for 2 days. The captain kept us out of the storm and we didn't even see a drop of rain.

I feel as long as we get on board everything will be fine.

Last year we left for our cruise the day after the big black out in New York, all of the planes were either cancelled or very late. Some of the cruisers didn't make it to the ship at all and some chose to start driving to another state to get a plane.

Right then I knew that I had made the right decision to travel the day before the cruise and that I would never travel on the same day the cruise leaves, too many things can go wrong.

So there's already a storm named Gaston?? LOL I'm not too worried about what would happen once we got on board, it's just getting TO Florida and onto the ship on time that I'm a concerned about. I just hope we all have good weather so we can make down to get onto the ship. After that, I know the captain would keep us all safe, even if we had to divert to other ports or just stay at sea.

I am trying not to say much here at home, but is anyone else worried about the weather, pre-cruise, like I am? We are flying in the day before, but if there's bad weather that day, I'm worried that we still wouldn't be able to get on another flight in time. I know there is nothing we can do about the weather, and usually I don't worry about weather, but after waiting ALLLLL this time for this cruise..... Well, you all know what I mean. LOL

P.S. (I don't mean to make light of those poor people in Florida who lost their lives, homes, and those still who have no electricity :( )

[Mary Anne]

I know just what you mean Terry.

My 13 year old just came down and gave me the weather forecast for NEXT Sunday. Granted a lot can change by then, but so far we're in the clear to get out.

I too am not concerned once we're on the ship. I've sailed in a hurricane before (Andrew in '94) We were fine. OK I admit one night it was a little rocky LOL.

[nuts4sn00py]

All right you guys...now I'm really starting to get worried. We had no choice but to fly in the day of the cruise, sooo now I am officially worried! :worried: Our flight is at 7am, so I'm hoping we would still get there in time. If not, I guess we'll be doing Disney. I'm still trying to find one more dressy outfit for either semi-formal or formal night. Not having much luck! Well, I'll just have to keep looking. Are all of you bringing your kids to formal & semi-formal night? I figured that would be the one or two nights I would let my kids skip dinner with us.(Not that I think they have any plans on joining us for dinner!)LOL! I really hope someone hears from Melanie soon, I really hope her & her family are ok & we haven't heard from her due to electrical being out. Anyway, hope everyone has a great week! Kathy :wave2:

[winnyis]

Kathy - we will probably bring our kids to formal night dinner.. I like getting dressed up that night and hope to get a nice family portrait to have made in to xmas cards.

Once dinner is over though, we change the kids and put them in the clubs... my DS (6) can only stand a suit for so long.

I cant believe our cruise is almost here... I am all done packing except for a few last minute toiletries that I cant pack til friday night. I have 5 suitcases and 1 cooler for the beer and smoothie maker!!! and the camcorder bag.... I did much better than I thought I would.

Have a good week all.


Ginny

[missinshadow]

Someone sent me a PM and I don't know how to retrieve it. Can someone let me know? Thanks

[paulinewdw]

Checking in and hoping that all are well and sad to see all the devestation(sp?) caused by Charlie!

We are flying out Friday Aug 20th and will be at Universal and then OKW on the 23rd.

That would be me who is in the SAME BOAT(LOL)...I will pm you with my cell phone # and other info...we can actually meet before the cruise!

So far I think I will be the first to actually arrive on August 20, we are arriving at 10:15 PM.

Bought the boys all suits yesterday...they so wanted them...now
lets hope they all wear them. My 10yo wanted to look like daddy

We are one of the later families to leave. We are driving from NJ and we are leaving after my DH gets home from work (around 7 pm) on Thurs. 8/26 and driving to Richmond VA. We hope to arrive around 7 - 8 pm at the Radisson on Friday night. All depends on the weather of course.

What time is the DIS meet at the Radisson?

CRUISE DIS MEET

Is there a DisMeet scheduled once onboard the Magic? I haven't seen a final time or date. Thanks.

Ginny, I need your room number for Ice,,lol... The Dis meet on the ship is at JASON site.'three ************' But Iheard it is after the life boat drill on the Promanade deck I think.. about 445.. jsut before the send off party...:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc single digits here.....

[trinibjill]

did you check your e-mail?
If not check the last post for trinibjill I sent you a message.
maybe we used to be neighbors
:wave:

[trinibjill]

can some one please explain how the excursion time is earlier than the docking time.. My DGD is afraid we will miss it.
Thanks:wave:

[winnyis]

I never got any email.. I live in Churchill Downs which is the newest section of Steeplechase.

[invaderzim]

The excursion time listed is the time you MEET on the ship in the designated spot. Then you leave the ship as an excursion group. If you are tendering in from Grand Cayman, your group would have tender priority since you are on an excursion.

[trinibjill]

thanks for explaining. Now I understand.

winnyis

we live about 10 mins away. It will be cool to have a neighbor on the cruise.

SeaSpray

I saw you were on the disboards for a dismeet in April. You missed a real nice meet. Did you ever talk to tiggerwannabe? She is my DD. I also meet Verandah man at that meet:wave:

I did originally sign up for the NJ meet but then I found out we couldn't make it down there that weekend. It looks like everyone had a great time though, sorry I missed it. I get to NJ fairly often since I'm from there and all of my family is still there. I have family in Sayreville, Toms River, and Freehold.

[MoranClan]

Hello Everyone..

After what Happened in Florida, I feel selfish about asking this, But I have to..

Jessis's dog "Mickey" got hit by a car today..

He is alive and in ICU..Internal bleeding..

Please say prayer for him..He is going to need it..

Also..Does anyone know If trip insurance covers such things as this?..

We may have to cancel the Trip, in case he comes home..

Any help would be appreciated...

If we do cancel, I will give MJASP all the magnets..

Thanks

Bobby

[sandygirl]

I think we are one of the last to leave (we'll turn the lights out!).

We will fly out of Atlantic City on Friday afternoon. Hoping to arrive at the Radisson early evening. Looking forward to being there the night before instead of traveling early morning and being tired the first night on the cruise.

All those heading out early, have a great time and fair weather.

This is not selfish at all. Bobby, I am so sorry this happened.

[Mary Anne]

Bobby that is just so sad about the poor dog. I will say a little prayer. They are like members of the family.

[pattiteach]

Bobby I am so sorry for you and will keep you and your dog in our prayers. I hope you will be able to come sounds like you need relaxation.

Nuts4snoopy- I am in the same boat as you. Flying down on a 7:00am flight out of Philly. About ready to have a heart attack.....

Can kids come to the Dis meet? I thought it was in a bar that kids were not allowed?]

[SeaSpray]

Bobby: I am so sorry to hear about "Mickey" :( :( They really are members of the family :(:( I hope the dog will be OK and that you and your family will be on the cruise. *HUGS* to all of you.

[Reenieny18]

Send Jessie some Pixie dust***** My dogs are my babies as well. I do dog sitting and I stay there with the dogs since I hate them to be alone. Start looking now for some reliable care for the dog... You need this vacation.
I am starting to get scared about cruising with such Bad luck people.. Just kidding. I hear that misery loves company. This AM my husband got a ticket for tinted windows in his SPORTS CAR... the cop was rude,,, and huugghhh... We need to get away... Figures the court date is the Tuesday we get back..
WINNY: Fine I will bring my own ICE and SMOOTHIE MAKER... but I may need to borrow some of your cooler supplies,,lol (just kidding).

Prayers to Jessie and her dog...:( :grouphug:

[Reenieny18]

SANDY GIRL: keep the house light on when you leave.. and bring in the paper..lol

Reenie

[gdulaney]

Bobby,
I hope that Mickey makes a full and speedy recovery. Not sure about trip insurance...there are some folks who don't understand that part of the family just has a little more fur. If it doesn't cover it, do you know if your vet would board your recovering fur-baby? At least then, your daughter (and the rest of the family) would know that he is in good hands.

Key West has a wonderful store that is geared to dog and cat owners. I can't remember the name, but it's on the shopping in paradise guide. You could get Mickey a really nice get-well gift.

Ginny D.

[trinibjill]

Bobby - I know just how you feel. I had to rush my cat to the hospital a couple of weeks ago. I thought he was dying. I had to leave him there. I cried my heart out. He's my best friend. Fortunately with IV's & medicine he is much better. There is always hope.

The passporters guide says "Trip interruption/cancellation coverage is great for circumstances beyond your control" It also says "This insurance plan covers trip cancellations, travel delays, emergency medical" - etc

I hoe this helps. God speed:flower3:

[Karel]

Bobby - I hope your dog recovers quickly. Our Westie spend five nights in the vet hospital last year. It was a very stressful time.

Will your vet board him for you while you're away? We were going to do that last fall when Cody was recovering but we ended up getting a house sitter.

Karel

[missinshadow]

Bobby-- I hope "Mickey" will be okay. Our prayers are with you and your family through this difficult time. I am a pet groomer and my heart breaks when I receive a call that one of my clients has passed. I think the owner ends up consoling me because it upsets me to here these things. All of our pooch prayers are with you for Mickey.

Carolyn:grouphug:

[winnyis]

Bobby -we will keep Mickey in our prayers for a speedy recovery.
Please give Jessie and big hug from all her Dis friends.. that poor kid must be so upset.

Doreen... or I may borrow your cooler supplies... Good thing is that at least we know if one smoothie maker breaks - we always have a back-up.

Ginny

[O'BWV]

Oh Bobby :grouphug:

I'm so sorry about your puppy dog! Tell Jessie we are thinking about all of you and praying for Mickey. I second the idea about maybe having the vet take care of Mickey. In 1995 our epileptic (sp?) dog had a grand mal seizure in my sister's care while we were at WDW. The vet took care of her during the rest of our vacation and allowed us to call everyday for an update and even more than once a day when "Snookie" took a down turn. Even though we were really sad during that vacation, I know our pup was in excellent hands and was well cared for. Of course, as you might imagine, the care was not cheap, I just thought I should mention that.

I don't know whether trip insurance covers this type of happening or not, but I wish you all the best and hope everything works out positively over the next few days. Under the best of circumstances, care of our pets is the hardest part of any vacation isn't it?

-Mary Rose

[invaderzim]

Bobby: :( So so sorry to hear about Mickey's mishap. We have had dogs all our lives and they are not pets, but an active member of our family. My heart goes out to you and your family. They are such devoted creatures and their love is so pure. God bless and much pixie dust sent your way.....

Cathy

[Mjasp]

Hi All...I just spoke to Cindy and Bobby...They are all devastated. As anyone who has lost a dog knows, it is hard. They are going to the vet now to see how Mickey made it through the night and for hopefully a good update. The bad thing is he has internal injuries, which means internal bleeding. So who knows about a good update.

Hopefully they will post when they get back.

Joanna

[Mary Anne]

Mjasp, please let him know I have been thinking of them all morning. So very sad.

[Reenieny18]

Cindy and Bobby and kids.. my prayers are with you this AM.. Make the right decision for Mickeys comfort:grouphug:
Ginny: I will share..lol
MELANIE::::>>>> come back soon.GINNY won't share...
who wanted to echange cell numbers?? I will give you my home or cell... But I leave Wednesday..I am not surethat helps you at all.

I had to put my dog down last JUNE,.,I cried for days. I have 2 others... But its still is not my CHELSEA....I got a frame from Discovery Store and made her paw print and A pic of the two of us.. Its in a big frame in our HALLWAY!

Big hugs for you and JESSIE:grouphug: :guilty:
Doreen

[winnyis]

Doreen or Kathy (or any other mudslide junkies) - have you ever had the TGI Fridays Mudslides that come in the bottle with the booze already in it. Im thinking about buying that to bring with us so I dont have to bring separate bottles of Absolut, Kahlua & Baileys.

My DH makes the best mudslides (he adds really ripe bananas to them) so I am spoiled and just want to make sure the Fridays stuff is semi good so Im not disappointed.

And Doreen... I will share honey - dont worry!!!

Ginny

[Reenieny18]

I have not had TGIF mudslides,, I use the KAHLUA brand already mixed.. I have the Good House Keeping Blend It Book.. lots of good recipes.. :goodvibes

We have a bottle of this in our fridge right now, along with their orange "Creamsicle" mix. We like the TGIF mixes, they taste pretty good! They might not be as good as your own recipe, but I think they've convenient. I bet you could get some bananas on the ship and add them in when you make them. I've never had a Mudslide with banana in it, but it sounds good :)

[Reenieny18]

Where do you get TGIF mixes? Do you go to the Restaurant??

Lynn PM me when you get a chance. I have to ask you something...

They sell them in most liquor stores, very easy to find.

(I left out the word "not" in my first post, I just fixed it. lol I meant to say, they're probably NOT as good as your own recipes, but they are still pretty tasty!)

[winnyis]

Oh Terry - I forgot all about the Creamsicle ones... I LOVE THEM TOO... God I hope the cooler is gonna be big enough for DH's beer with all my stuff in it...

If we weren't flying down (and trying to pack light) I'd be tempted to mix up some frozen drinks on our verandah!! :teeth: Yes, the Creamsicle ones ARE very good. :sunny:

[paulinewdw]

Those mixes are pretty good...I always add vanilla ice cream...mmmm!!!!

Hello Everyone..

Thanks for The prayers and Pixi Dust:wizard:

Mickey is Home Safe and sound..

Internal Bleeding stopped and his Bladder is fine..

He will be in pain for the next few days, and a few Cuts and bruises..But He is Home and Fine..

He sure is one tough Dog..He actually had the tire run over his body..Poor Dog..

Thanks again..

Bobby, Cindy, Katie, Jessie, Bobby Jr. and Mickey

[Mary Anne]

Bobby, that's the best news I've heard all day.

[Reenieny18]

That is the best news we have heard on this BOARD, :Pinkbounc :earseek: Jessie must be so happy. So happy for all of you!
I called DCL this AM and got the list of movies. They are:Around the World in 80 Days. Brother Bear, Conf. of a teenage Drama Queen, Hildago,Home on the Range, Nemo, Remember the Alamo,Lady Killers, The Village, Miracles, Pirates of Carib.,Princess Diaries 2 And Raising Helen.. That is a lot of movies in 10 days.
I am sitting here Ironing most of this afternoon. I figure, if they get to wrinkled.. I can steam them from the showers....

Again,Cindy and Bobby.. so happy for you :tongue:

[lynr]

Doreen: I sent you a PM

Bobby:

Glad to hear eveything is ok. Great news!!!

Lyn:earsgirl:

[Mjasp]

I know all of us DISers have the SPR. Who are my neighbors again?

I think its Ginny (Winnyis) Am I correct? I hope so because TGIF mudslides are good, are you really bringing a blender?

Remember Ginny "Love Thy Neighbor" LOL

[trinibjill]

Bobby - that's great news. I know you are ecstatic.

This probably sounds really stupid! But, what is a spr .

In addition to mudslides does anyone like kamakazis?:crazy:

Good looking out on the movies. I didn't know you could call DCL for that info.
:wave:

Hello..

SPR is Secret Porthole Rooms..

I Love anything with Alcohol..hehe..

Bobby

[Mary Anne]

I'm getting so excited.

Tonight my DH and I sat and read the menus together. He's now decided that he want to skip AP the first night and do Palo Dinner that night. He also thinks the Pirate night food looks pretty good, I don't care for it. Guess, I'll jsut graze that night.

Ladies, feel free to hate my DH. Tonight, day's away from the trip he tries on his tux. Fits perfect. Shoot, he bought that close to 25 years ago. Who the heck is still able to wear something you bought 25 years ago and have it still fit.

[trinibjill]

thank you for that explanation, Bobby.

I plan to bring the ingredients to make kamakazis & will be willing to share.:crazy: :wave:

[MoranClan]

Thanks..

I will be Bringing Wine...probably Blush..I like it with Ice..

I wish I can bring my Own Tap Beer..Cans or bottles just dont taste the same, so I am going to buy The 20oz DCL glass and refill it at the regular price..

They say it takes 6 refills to break even...

I figure..after the summer we have had here with injuries and such...

That will be within the first hour when we get onboard..hahahahaahah

Ok, I hate your DH! LOL I just tried on a dress I bought 2 months ago and its tight! :( :( My DH has to try on his suit soon...if he needs a new one, we'll need time to shop!

[MoranClan]

I have a Pair of Socks That still fit...Does that count...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH:teeth: :teeth: :teeth: :earseek: :earseek:

Bobby

[winnyis]

Bobby - so glad to hear that Mickey is ok... wonderful news.

Joanna - yes it is me who is your neighbor and yes I am really bringing a smoothie maker. Its already packed and ready to go. Were probably gonna bring corona and heineken, cuervo margaritas and mudslides or maybe those creamsicle drinks.. Terry has had me thinking of those all day since she mentioned it..

Trinijbill - Kamakazis huh - wow those bring back some very fuzzy memories or lack thereof from my younger days.

3 more days for me and were off....

Ginny

[MoranClan]

Thanks again for all yor kind words, prayers and Pixie Dust...

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders..And Trust me I have big ones..

Almost done with all the magnets...

I hope you all like them...and are Big enough..

Have a few surprises...

If anyone wants these at the radisson....Before we go...Call my room and we will get together..

Also..The Dis meet on Board is for everyone..Including children..The Promanade is for everyone..

Like i said before..I feel like a new person after Mickey got home...

Bobby

[O'BWV]

Bobby - What excellent news about Mickey!! :bounce: Hope he's all better real soon. Hugs to Jessie too!

Mary Anne - I have one of those husband's too - same body today as the day we married twenty years ago. Don't you just hate it :rolleyes:

trinibjill - I love kamakazis! Am I invited?:chat:

Ginny - Is your smoothie maker small? I love mudslides and pina coladas and after Terry mentioning creamsicles I'm thinking this might be a worthwhile purchase. Can you please tell me a little about yours? Thanks ;)


Anybody have any further info about the Radisson meet? Is it poolside or something, and what time.

Thanks guys,

Just look for the Big Guy, Crew Cut, Double Fisted beers and tattooes...

Bobby

[Mary Anne]

[MoranClan]

OK Mickeys home and ate chinese fried rice with us for dinner. Bobby's giving Bobby Jr. a shower and Jessie's getting her tooth bonded on thursday.....SOOOO,
I would love to join you GINNY for fuzzy drinks, because I think I need one. Unlike big Bobby, I am not a beer drinker, one daquerie (is that how you spell It?) and Im ready for a nap!

We are all packed. I have ironed all of our clothes and Im ready. I even went to get my nails done last Sunday. Hope it lasts until we get home.

Thank you everyone who sent prayers and pixie dust our way, It was really appreciated.

I couldn"t resist taking a picture Of jessie smiling with her broken front teeth hugging her dog with bandages .

Mary Anne - where did you find the Pirates menu? I wanted to eat at Palo's that night but I'd like to see the new menu.

Thanks!

[O'BWV]

Cindy - I'm so happy about your poochie and I'm so jealous that you're all packed already!

Bobby - I sure I'll be able to spot you guys around the pool not only because I see your beautiful family picture at *****************, but also because in addition to your tattoos I figures you might just have dozens of lime green Mickey head magnets stuck all over you :hyper:



-Mary Rose

[winnyis]

Mary Rose... my smoothie maker is medium sized. Just got it last week at Kohls - only $15 with my moms senior discount.. so its not a big deal if it gets broken etc...

The brand is Back to Basic Smoothie Blast. We tested out last friday with margaritas and guavaberry coladas and it worked pretty good.

Cindy - your welcome to join us.. you need a drink after all the stress youve been under lately. Im like you I cant drink alot or I get tired too. I had friends from work over last friday and we drank from 2PM - 10PM... I was a wreck the next day.. I dont know how they do that all the time.

We will be at the Radisson pool around noon on Friday... my kids are looking forward to meeting some new friends.

Ginny

[SeaSpray]

Welcome home to Mickey the dog!! :sunny: I am SO relieved to hear that he's OK and that the Moran Clan will be sailing! I have to say, I was a bit down today thinking of the possibility of your family possibly missing the cruise. It's so hard to be so excited about the cruise, then to hear bad news like Mickey, and those still effected by the hurricane. What a roller coaster of emotions!

Regarding the Radisson meet: Our flight arrives in Orlando around 2:30pm on Friday. We'll be heading directly over after we get our luggage! Hopefully the weather will be good that day so we can all meet around the pool. :sunny: I'm sure I will recognise Bobby, but who else will be there? Anyone else who has a picture on Jason's web site?? lol Do any of you have lime green ribbons or anything, so we don't walk up to total strangers, asking if they're from the DIS boards?!?!? LOL

Karel...The thread with the menu is on the main cruise board. ( I don't know how to put a link here)

Ginny...Glad you are my neighbor, now I know you won't be able to pass me (with a drink in your hand) without offering me a drink LOL

Tinibjill...Please let me know who will be with you and where you will be staying pre night.

I would say poolside for the DIS meet unless it rains then we can meet at the bar inside. I would recommend going to the far side of the pool, not where the tables for the restaurant are, so we will be out of the way (of people who want to have a quiet vacation) LOL. Looking at the pool (all the way to the left)

We will be arriving very late afternoon, must stop at the liquor store first.

Getting excited but am having reservations about going, having a bit of illness here (nothing catchy) but it has me concerned.

Have a great evening, and what is the deal with Jason and Travis now. WHERE ARE THEY???????????

Melanie Is really concerning me, I was hoping if Adam went to work he may inform us. My brother lost some of his shingles and soffitts, but thank God that is all. Am getting excited about going to the Atlantis hotel if we get sidetracked.

Joanna

[O'BWV]

Ginny - Thanks for the info! You got a great deal. That smoothie maker at Kohls.com is $39.99. I'm going to go into the store tomorrow and I'm going to try Target too. Thanks again.

When I get there I will be giving out the leis, and then you can also where them to the terminal the next day and then to the DIS meet at the Promenade Lounge. Sound good?
Joanna

[DARWIN91]

Ok - I might be a little delayed but did I see someone mention what movies are playing on the ship? I was trying to find out as DD 7 is in summer camp and they are taking them to see Princess Diaries 2 tomorrow and I told her to hang back at camp and wait to see it on the ship with her other young cruisemates. DH is concerned she will sit there and say " Hey, this is what happens next"! if she goes now and then on the ship. LOL

That sounds great, Joanna. I actually will have a small little "surprise" to give to everyone on Friday night, too, so we will definitely be noticable! :teeth:

Hi Darwin91: I have read in a couple of threads that they ARE playing Princess Diaries 2 on the Magic now :)

[sandygirl]

MORANCLAN - I am so glad to her Mickey is home. Hope the healing is quick and complete.

We will be at the Radisson early evening. Do you think you will still be by the pool?

For those of you who are packing smoothie makers and mixes and other assorted alcoholic treats: tell me what the heck you are doing! I've been reading this thread forever and I am still trying to figure out how and when you make your drinks. Do you carry them around ship, up on deck, or do you have them pre-dinner while dressing? I know I sound like a moron, but I really have been trying to figure this all out. On past cruises I have indulged on the "Drink of the Day" and it can get costly. I was thinking of bringing a few bottles of wine and a corkscrew to enjoy in our cabin. But you guys seem to have this whole thing under control. LOL Clue me in!

[O'BWV]

Joanna - That sounds great. Unfortunately I won't be arriving til around dinner time but I'll be looking for all of you at the far left side of the pool. I'm sorry to hear about your illness concern and I hope it corrects itself ASAP :hug:


Terry - We don't have a picture on Jason's site and if I describe us we'll just sound like millions of other people as there is nothing too special about us. But, the one thing I can tell you is that I have one of the strongest Brooklyn accents you'll ever hear. I say this with great pride in being born and raised in Brooklyn - one of the greatest places on earth. But honestly, it draws comments everywhere I travel and you can't miss it. My kids have a Jersey accent by now and alas they don't sound like me LOL!


-Mary Rose

[SeaSpray]

Joanna, I hope whatever your health concern is, that is goes away soon. I have a back molar that had a root canal MANY years ago, and suddenly it has become very sensitive to hot and cold in the last 2 weeks! I'm hoping it doesn't crack or anything. Someone told me that a molar with a root canal should've had a crown or cap put on it when it first done!

Mary Rose: My mother was from NYC, I love the accent :) My sons have been living here in Massachusetts since the ages of 9 and 6 (they are now 16 and 13) and they don't have one speck of a New England accent! (Which I am glad about. lol) :teeth:

[Reenieny18]

OK I ironed from 4 pm till 8 or so... and we are all PACKED:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc I didn't close the garmet bags yet. Will do that next Tuesday night. Ginny : and anyone else who is a FROZEN drink conoursiere(*sp) I have my SMOOTHIE maker in my sons bag.. I can't believe I am bringing this. We have the one from QVC ( cooks essential). Fresh fruit, ice and ice cream,, talk about PARADISE
I am not to happy with the PIRATES night menu.. the names are longer than the dining time,,lol. Oh well.. See DH is so fussy so I have to explain to him what he is eating.. He doesnt do fancy foods.:sunny:Terry: I was thinking the same thing about Cindy and Bobby not making it.. Felt sad after feeling like we know you guys.. So glad your coming.
Now let's all stay HEALTHY people and fuzzy friends. DARWIN: I posted the movies a page or 2 back. and yes that movie playing on board.

~Doreen~

[winnyis]

You cant miss my family... Im 5'11 with blonde hair, DH is 6'1 with light brown hair and our kids are tall skinny wild blondes... we have a picture up on Jasons site and we all pretty much still look like that.

Sandy... DH and DBIL will definately walk around with their beer, I even got them a little soft sided 6 pack cooler to bring to the pool. As for the smoothies..... we will have happy hour while getting ready and I have no problem walking around with my own drink.. I'll buy one of the drinks of the day from DCL and then keep the glass and I will just blend it with everyone else.

Mary Rose... Wow that was a good deal I had no idea it was that expensive.. they had a big sale last week where smoothie makers, quesadilla makers and an electric griddle were all $17.99.. My mom got the extra 15% off for me so it was a great deal..

And how right he is. LOL

Am thinking myself of doing another Palo or Topsiders on Pirates night. Unless I just get the plain Sirloin Steak (That is always an option) We'll see, have plenty of time to decide.

I'm sure we will still be at the Radisson at night, just try to get the kids away from the pool.

[trinibjill]

mjasp
Anyother time I drive to Fla. My DD wanted to fly. We are going same day. I guess I'll meet everyone on the ship (can't wait). Am planning another cruise next year.

o'bwv
absolutely!! you are invited f/kamakazis. In fact shots all around for all.::yes::

[DARWIN91]

Mjasp - there is always Dominoes (oh that was Vistana) I mean, Pinnochio's Pizzeria and late night room service!!!;)

[pattiteach]

Bobby- I am soooooo glad Minnie is doing better, you brought tears to my eyes!!!! I can't wait to meet everyone. Who are my neighbors on the 8th deck? We will be the ones with filled wine glasses and more than willing to help refill any DISers........

[Mjasp]

Darwin...Too many drinks at Vistana??? It was PIZZA HUT


I like the chicken Tenders on the Magic. Actually I'm thinking of just showing up at Palo's one night to see if they have availability.

[Reenieny18]

absolutely!! you are invited f/kamakazis. In fact shots all around for all.
I have not had those since college..What other liqour do we need so we all bring something to share??

Doreen

[missinshadow]

BOBBY: SO glad to hear Mickey is home and recovering. What a relief you must be feeling. They are our family members aren't they? ALl our prayers worked. Now it's time for CRUISIN'!!!:Pinkbounc

Every one stay safe.


Carolyn

[trinibjill]

Reenieny18 - I'm sure whatever liquor you bring will be appreciated by all

Jill

[Karel]

Thanks for posting the menu. The beef tenderloin sounds yum! Guess I need to re-evaluate my Palo night.

Bobby - glad to hear your dog is doing well.

I'm not sure when we'll get to the Radisson. I want to enjoy the Yacht club as long as possible.

Looks like Earl fizzled out. I'm glad for the people cruising this week. l can't finish packing till Sunday as we are still wearing our shorts and bathing suits! Plus there's mice in the basement and I not enjoying my trips to the basement laundry room. :eek:

[Karel]

Oh, wait, the Pirates menu takes the place of Mexical.... on Wed night, right? Ok, good, now I can go to sleep now, LOL. Palo's still for Tues. ( I hope) Do not want to miss Thursday surf and turf!

[missinshadow]

:jumping2: :jumping2: 10 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :jumping2: :jumping2:

[nuts4sn00py]

Hi Everyone!:wave2: Moran Clan: I am so happy to hear Mickey is doing better! I can't even imagine how upset you all must have been, thankfully the Prayers & PD helped! Ginny: A girl after my own heart! TGIF with the liquor already in it is very good, I of course still add some of my own Kahlua & such to enhance it, but that's because I' a lush!::yes:: LOL! I'm so glad we are on the same deck....this way when one of us runs out of mix or liquor we won't have far to go! I would love to bring my blender, but it is just too heavy. Mary Rose: What part of Brooklyn are you from? I currently live in Marine Park area. I, too am known for my Brooklyn accent! Hopefully the others will be able to understand us when we get excited. Cindy is also originally from Brooklyn, so this should be fun!Trinibjill: I'm new to all this too! I'm not sure when I will be drinking my mixed drinks, but I know it will help to keep my bar tab down, even if it's just before or after dinner! Mjasp & Terry: Don't forget about those of us who won't be there till the day of the Cruise! Save a green lei for me, save a green lei for me!:bounce: :bounce: I am really looking foward to meeting all my fellow Dis'ers, this is going to be a great vacation! I only hope the kids get along as well as all of us do!::yes:: Watch out Magic....here we come!:wave: ::yes:: Kathy :wave2:

[Mjasp]

Kathy...For those not at the Radisson, I will have leis at the DIS meet.

As for Brooklyn it was Bensonhurst for me. I don't think I have an accent though, but some say I do. (I don't think so )

10 days to cruise...9 days to pre night:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

[Mjasp]

oops forgot...For those getting in on the 27th we are in the SINGLE DIGITS:Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc

[SeaSpray]

Single digits for us! 9 days till we'll be flying down to Florida!! :sunny:

[admepo]

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally back with power last night after losing it Friday at 2:30pm!!!

Thanks so much for all of the well wishes and worrying. We were lucky that the eye of the storm stalled a little near Sanibel or it would have went over our home. We made it out with minimal damage - trees, roof (nothing at all bad), etc... but we are fine and that was my concern. We had to drive to Naples on Saturday morning just to get a phone signal to notify family we were ok (Dad in CT was ready to drive down to find us) and then to locate Mom and my sister (Who are in Charlotte County!) was awful!!! They are both ok - home damage but they are ok and homes can be rebuilt.

I would have signed on last night but it took forever to clean out the house - the fridges were disgusting and all the food we lost really aggravates me! The boys are out of school until Thursday. My poor youngest had his 1st birthday yesterday! What a way to celebrate! We had to cancel his party for this weekend and will do it when we return from the cruise. We are still going on that no matter what! We will be canceling a few excursions due to money needed during and after the storm, but we are still going which was my main concern! :)

Again - can't thank you all enough for worrying and kind wishes! Hope those of you who are in FL or have family here made out ok also!

Melanie

[O'BWV]

Melanie - Thank goodness you're okay! Sorry to hear about all you have been through. We've been so worried and I hope things can get back to some sort of normal for you and your loved ones really soon!


Kathy - I grew up in Old Mill Basin- East 54th between L & M to be exact. My DH grew up right around the corner on E. 53rd. Looks like we were neighbors (which of course explain the similar and terrific accents) In fact my DMom still lives there but she is moving to Old Bridge with my DSis & her family sometime this summer. My other DSis still teaches at P.S. 203 on Ave. M, she commutes from Freehold everyday :earseek: I see you're a tad bit younger than me and DH (43/44) but my one DSis is 40 and my DBro is 39 turning 40 in Nov. (yes, they are Irish twins 10 1/2 months apart) Wouldn't it be funny if you know one of them. I really miss and love Brooklyn and I always loved hanging out at Marine Park!

Joanna - Did you grow up in Bensonhurst during the "Saturday Night Fever" heyday?



-Mary Rose

[SeaSpray]

It is SOOOOO good to hear from you, Melanie!! :grouphug: I'm so happy and relieved that you and your family are all OK. I'm sorry to hear about the damage, though.

It looks like our families are neighbors. I grew up in Sayreville, my father and one brother still live there, one of my other brothers is an Old Bridge cop. And my sister lives in Freehold. :) "It's a small world afterall....." LOL

[natdencro]

Wont be long now you lucky guys! Wish it was us sailing too! If any of you are staying at the Hyatt overnight on the 27th, look out for 2 lost Brits(Maria and Simon) who are sailing on the Magic 28th. DD's best pals! Ive given them LOADS of hints and info, but if they look confused then maybe you could just point them in the right direction for me. It is their FIRST Disney cruise, and first time in USA for Simon, so its VERY EXCITING for them. Gem (DD in Palo) is SO happy that her best friends will be cruising on her last week before her vacation. Hope you all have a really MAGICAL time. Nat:Pinkbounc

[winnyis]

Melanie - we are all so relieved to hear that you and your family are safe... we were really starting to get worried.

Ginny

[admepo]

Thank you everyone - sorry we worried you !

Now that I have read through all of the pages of posts I missed:

Bobby and Cindy: So glad to hear Mickey is ok. I am sure that was so hard for all of you - especially the kids! :)

I see some people did have family and friends in FL areas that were hit - our thoughts and prayers go out to them!

And I see we have still had people hit by this little pre-cruise curse of sickness and accidents so I hope everyone is doing better and feeling better! We are in the home stretch now so no more getting sick or hurt - OR HIT BY HURRICANES!!!!!!!

And did I see something about TGI Friday drinks !!! My gallon of MUDSLIDES had to be thrown away!!!!!!!! :eek: The horror!!! Thank god there was only a little bit left so it wasn't such a waste! :rolleyes: Looking forward to many more on the ship.....

If I missed anything (trying to read the posts quickly) I'm sorry! But VERY happy to be back on the boards again - restores some sort of NORMAL back to things! :)

Melanie - Charley stole your bottle of Mudslides - horror! Seriously though I'm glad you're all okay and that you have electricity back and can start to return to normal. I feel so sorry for the residents of Fla. that were so hard hit by Charley. Some areas look decimated!

Terry - My son just attended the Old Bridge Youth Police Academy Summer Camp. It was run by OBPD officers. My DS absolutely LOVED the program and I wonder if your brother was part of it. I'll get your maiden name on board. Those officers were terrific to the kids. My DS lives in the OBPD baseball cap he received as part of the program and I'm sure he'll be wearing it onboard.

Nat - We'll be on the lookout for Maria & Simon. Will you pass on the details of our DIS meet: Location: Promenade Lounge Time: Embarkation Day, just after the lifeboat drill. Maybe they'd be interested. Tell them there is alot of information about our group at *****************

Been going through the newpaper adds to find the best deals on Liquor.. is it any cheaper in KW???
Again.. Melanie. glad your safe.. We will help you make up for your lost mudslides.


:wave: :Pinkbounc Doreen

[winnyis]

Doreen - we are staying at the Hampton Inn in Lake Buena Vista from Sat-Wed, then we go to the Royal Pacific at Universal so we can get that FOTL access then the Radisson on Friday.

As far as booze in Key West... we bought some last year at a place close to the ship and it wasnt any bargain but was still cheaper than onboard the ship. I remember Shirley from Perfect Gift saying that there was a Publix on Key West that had better prices so I think we may also check that out. There is a liquor store right down the road from the Radisson that has a big selection we usually stop there and load up.

[Mary Anne]

Goodness, I think I'm in big trouble on the cruise. I went to bed about 9:30 last night and got up this morning to 4 pages of posts :crazy: I can see this is going to be a night time party group!

We leave Sunday and while I haven't packed at all yet, I do have some stuff laid out. Today, I'm doing the kitchen and bathroom tomorrow I shall pack.

Catch up with you all later.

[Reenieny18]

Maryanne,
are you moving to Florida? Ok I am blonde but what are you doing today in the kitchen and bathroom?
Ginny, I will have my cousins take me to their FAVORITE Liquor store at KW as well...

Doreen....:sunny:

[Mary Anne]

LOL Reenieny18, I mean to say I was cleaning the Kitchen and bathroom so they would be done before we left. I've told everyone I'm done cooking and they're not permitted to use the bathroom till we've returned (LOL) so they will stay clean. (yeah right LOL )

Moving to Florida is on our todo list to. Only, I doubt it will get done this trip

[Reenieny18]

I found J and T on another board. They got booted here. They send best wishes...
Doreen

[paulinewdw]

My you are a chatty bunch...first off...MELANIE...glad you are safe and minimal damage...BOBBY and CINDY...glad to hear that Mickey
is OK!

Now, we are leaving on Friday and ACKKKKK I have to pack and clean the house since my dear MIL is stopping over each day to feed the CAT!

I will pick up some liquer(sp?) to SHARE....we won't be at the radisson the night before...but you should be able to spot us...
DH is 6' 4'' and I am a foot shorter, we have three boys oldest is as tall as me and the othersare very tall for their age.

Looking foward to meeting you all! (Since DH and the kids are from Boston, they do not pronounce their r's, however I maintain my Western Massachusetts accent most of the time.

Pauline

[winnyis]

Doreen - why did J & T get booted?

Ginny

[Reenieny18]

Ginny I PM you...

[SeaSpray]

If you go to their web site, ********************** , they have set up a message board there. There's a link at the bottom of their main page. That might answer some questions. I'm always so out of the loop with these things, but I happened to notice the link on the site, so I decided to check it out. lol

[Reenieny18]

Terry,, I PM you.
Doreen

[turtlekrawl]

Melanie & Adam... so happy that you and yours were spared, although it must have been scary....

Bobby & Cindy....so good that Mickey is recovering nicely....

Natdencro....we'll be staying at the Hyatt on the 27th, arriving around noon, flying in on Song airlines from Boston. We'll be sure to keep an eye out for Maria & Simon. Will they be taking DCL transportation to the ship on Saturday?

I kinda wish we were staying at the Radisson, it looks like we'll be missing a great party.....


Jim

[Reenieny18]

Bobby I have a PM for you,, hang on.....

Doreen

[O'BWV]

Hi All!

Just paid J & T a visit. This is sad :o


I also went out today to pick up a few last minute items and will now probably need another suitcase LOL. I picked up a Smoothie Jr. at Target for $30. Ginny I looked all over and this was the best price. Good for you, you really got a steal! I also stopped at the Liquor Store (we're driving down and have the room) and I bought three big TGIF bottles. 1) Amaretto Mudslide 1) Pina Colada and 1) Creamscicle. They were on sale for $11.99 each. I seem to remember paying $17 or $18 for the big bottle so I think I saved a bit. I also bought two four packs of Kahula brand White Russians for DH. When I was paying at the counter it looked like I had enough booze for an Army. Each of the big bottles states is makes (18) 10 oz. drinks. I know this is more than DH & I can consume, so please stop by cabin 6110 for the Foo-Foo of the day, otherwise poor Mary Rose is gonna look like this all week: :crazy:

Looks like this might be the booze cruise! LOL


-Mary Rose

[winnyis]

Mary Rose - your gonna be sorry you gave out your room #. That Doreen is a lush and she will probably be camped out outside your door begging for ice and mudslides..

What store did you get the Fridays mixes in... maybe I will pick them up here in NJ.. I have room since the cooler is presently empty except for the smoothie maker.

Ginny

[O'BWV]

Ginny you're a riot!!! So what'dya think Doreen, are you on my deck? Are you coming over? LOL

I bought my booze at Buy Rite. I'm not sure but they look like they could be a chain. There is no bar in the back of the store, and they have huge selection. I don't live in NJ that long, but most of my local liquor stores have a very small selection and they have a bar attached in the back. That's fine in a pinch but I needed the heavy artillery for this trip ;)




-Mary Rose

[MoranClan]

MaryRose I wanted to reply to something you posted, but I've just caught up on 4 pages of posts, so I can't remember....by the way I am a blonde also.....
Melanie I do remember that I'm happy you are OK, we were worried about you!

Mickey is doing great, If he was a cat he would have used up at least 5 of his lives since Monday. He won't leave my side. I had to take him for a ride to 711 with me this morning for my coffee, and his treat.

Im so looking foward to this trip!!!!
Cindy::MinnieMo

[O'BWV]

Cindy - Was it about being from Brooklyn, I understand you are too. So glad about Mickey. It's a miracle that he was actually run over on Monday and came home on Tuesday. What breed of dog is he? We had a dog name Mickey, he was a doberman - the most wimpy doberman you ever saw - he thought he was a poodle. He didn't have a docked tail or ears and that really changed his look. He looked just like an over grown hound dog.



-Mary Rose

[trinibjill]

winnyis _ Ginny, Try canal's on 541 & sunset road or Roger Wilco on 130 That's 2 near you. I believe there's a liquor store somewhere near the Roebling Bank on 130 & there is also one by Mills Harley Davidson on 130. We are surrounded by alcohol.

I also got your e-mail. Who knows maybe I've passed you in the mall. Can't wait to meet everyone on the cruise. I can't believe it's only 7 days away

Jill:crazy: :wave:

[MoranClan]

Mary Rose he is a black lab/pointer mix. Bobby and I lived in Marine Park when we first got married. I taught 8th grade at Marine Park JHS for a while. Oh yeah....you'll know us because we have that Brooklyn accent and yell out of the windows for the ice cream man!!! Only kidding:hyper: (now that we live in LI we only yell in the yard)

[trinibjill]

Moran clan
I sent you a pm
Jill:crazy: :wave:

[O'BWV]

Cindy - My DBro taught English at Marine Park JHS for a couple of years in late 80's before moving over to Huddy (sp?) JHS near the junction. Oh yeah, and when you yelled out the window for the ice cream man did you then eat that ice cream on you front stoop? I recently called a local charity here for a clothing pickup and I told them I'd leave the bags on the stoop. They asked me "just to clarify" does that mean the front porch? LOL




-Mary Rose

[MoranClan]

After we ate the ice cream we played stoop Ball!

[MoranClan]

Jill I hope the pm is for bobby because he didn't show me how to read those...he just put a little icon on our desktop so I can pop on and off!

Cindy::MinnieMo

[Mary Anne]

OMG, I have to have one of the Amaretto Mudslide drinks. Name the price.

I'm so ashamed. I've not bought one bottle of liquor. I shall have to stop in Wal-Mart's on my way to the ship.

yes, I'm one of those who drinks her wine out of a screw off top :eek:

[O'BWV]

aw shucks......there's no price for you Mary Anne! Stop by any time! Would you like me to pick you up a bottle? Also, does Walmart sell alcohol in Fla?



-Mary Rose

[trinibjill]

Hi Cindy
Yes, it is for Bobby. It's about the room #. They changed it.
If you go to the top of this page - to user cp -click on that - then it should take you to the spot where it will tell you if you have any pm's.
Jill:crazy: :wave:
Thanks

[Mary Anne]

Wal-marts sells Wine in Florida. I usually pick up a gallon or so while we're at the DVC villa. I'd get more only DH doesn't care for it, I have to drink it myself. :tongue:

You know, I never, take a drink of hardly anything when I'm home, but, I hit Florida and Walmart's is the first place I hit to get a bottle of wine :rolleyes:

I know I'm going to kick myself down the road of saying this but I'll pass on you picking me up a bottle. I do have to have one though. OMG that sounds soooooo good.

[O'BWV]

Mary Anne - I am more than happy to share. My DH doesn't drink thick, creamy drink (hence why I bought him white russians) and now that I trying to pack it all WOW it's alot. Not only that but it weighs a ton. (maybe I should leave the creamscicle home, ooh but I do love them, darn, decisions, decision.) Anyway please do come and share. That goes for everyone - after all I can't take it back off the ship again. Thanks for telling me about Walmart, learn something new everyday. I use that info when I stay in the Boardwalk Villas!

Oh and Jill, I'll be by for a kamikaze, so you'd better come help me devour my frozen drinks OK?


-Mary Rose

[trinibjill]

Mary Rose

I's be more than happy to help you with the frozen drinks. In fact, kamakazis - the colder they are the better.

They changed my room number - we are now in 7098.

Oh are we going to have a good time or what?

Jill:crazy: :wave:

I know I just returned to the boards but can someone explain to me why J and T were booted or what it is you are talking about???? THANKS!!!!!!!!!

Melanie

[O'BWV]

Jill - Did you get an upgrade? That'd be awesome! And yes, we are going to have a blast!!!




-Mary Rose

[trinibjill]

O'BWV

Yes, we did get an upgrade from cat 7 to cat 5. I was so so excited. The agent called me today. She said they DCL called her & told her to call me & change my bag tags.
It was really eerie - I was thinking of calling her today & booking a Eastern cruise for next year..

The guy that booked my cruise originally doesn't work there any more. He told me that we were going to be in 7120 originally (the one they downgraded because of the partial view) When I went to pick up the tickets I was in 7122. I told her I was disapointed.

I think I blew her ear drum out when she told me the news.

Jill

:crazy: :wave:

[nuts4sn00py]

HI ALL! JUST ME YELLING FROM MY STOOP! Heh, heh! We are "stoopsitters." Everynite we either sit on the stoop or my neighbors backyard. MaryRose: My brother &SIL live on E56 between M & N. She has lived there most of her life & she is a year younger than me, so she might know your family. Also, I will certainly be by to help you drink those mudslides & such...you bought the same exact drinks I buy when I get the TGIF bottles! Cindy: How long ago did you teach at MP Junior high? My nieces & nephews all went there, so you might know them! Will have to discuss all this "Brooklyn" business when we are on the cruise. Happy to hear Mickey is feeling better. Melanie ..glad to hear you're doing okay & you had minimal damage, but darn...you didn't listen when Doreen told you "protect the mudslides at all costs." (just kidding)! Booze Cruise ...I think you are Absolutely right (no pun intended), but we're going to need this booze...remember we have a Speedo among the group! Kathy :wave2:

Bobby..

[trinibjill]

Bobby
I;m glad you hadn't printed it yet too. Yes, It is 7098

I miss my rock yard. The house I lived in before didn't have a single blade of grass. I had pavers, bushes, trees & rocks & a huge stoop.

This new place has a yard & a deck. work work work.

Jill:crazy: :wave:

[Mary Anne]

I could never live without a stoop.

When I build my home in Florida, it will have a Florida room on it AND a STOOP on the front!

Took my boys to be measured for their tuxes tonight. My oldest is almost the same size as my DH.

So you if you see a middle aged lady with three handsome men in tuxes; you'll know it's me! I know a lot of people don't like to dress up but we enjoy it.

Doreen

[Mjasp]

Hi All

Melanie...Glad you and your family are OK.

Box Ball, how about skelly (sp?) you know with the melted wax in the bottlecaps.

[winnyis]

Doreen - You are so funny... I cant wait to meet you!! I know we will have a good time.

I am also normally not a big drinker... but on our last cruise on Navigator of the Seas - I got drunk every night.. of course it helped that we knew the head bartender and he told the guys behind the bar to "take care of my friends". Well lets just say the cosmo's didnt stop flowing and we actually had to tell them no more so we could go get the kids from the kids club.. We had a great time!!! I didnt pay for a drink all week - but I did tip them very very well

Ginny

[O'BWV]

Jill - That's great about the upgrade Hooray for you!!!


All of you guys are hysterical! We're gonna have the greatest time!

Kathy - I do know some people on that E56 bet. L & M aka Church block. Wouldn't that be funny!


I have decided to bring all my mixes. I put them in a cooler that is a backpack, which is good because it must weigh 100 lbs!



-Mary Rose

[winnyis]

100 lb backpack full of booze.. now thats a girl that knows how to party.. Can I be your best friend??

LOL and despite what Doreen says - I dont bite and its only her I wont share ice with

LOL

[Reenieny18]

I SHARE ICE>>> Jason has it listed that Ginny wont share ice,lol SO funny. I am cracking up here and my son is asking whats so funny now!!
100lb back pack.. Stretcher Deck 8
I am so excited...:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

Doreen

[O'BWV]

Well okay I confess - I exagerrated just a little. (Sorry I can't spell tonight for some reason)

But it is heavy LOL!




-Mary Rose

[Reenieny18]

MARY ROSE:;;I exagerrated just a little. (Sorry I can't spell tonight for some reason)

[MoranClan]

With everyone bringing their own Stash onboard,,,,Phew..What Cabin and hallway parties there will be..

Me and Cindy just read the last 10 posts and were laughing like idiots..

Very Funny...We Will share Our Ice..hahahaahah

Now the Question Is....I know they say you can bring a carry on..How about a Beer ball on wheels?..

Bobby

[winnyis]

Bobby - only if it fits in your carry on !!!

Ginny

[Reenieny18]

Maybe it can go on Mary Rose's Stretcher after she pulls her back out...

Doreen

[winnyis]

Were gonna have to have a desigated person each night to make sure we all get back to our cabins safely. And of course Joanna has already volunteered to stand between Me and Doreen and hold us up.. What a nice group of DISers we have here... always looking out for each other - LOL

[Mary Anne]

I have an idea I will end of being the designated walker. LOL
