Is anyone booked on the 10 - 29 -05 Magic yet ?

Luckey

[luckeylasvegas]

Trick or treat ?
Bump

[luckeylasvegas]

Still looking for Halloween 2005 cruisers.

[tandis]

I think we'll be going on that cruise as our first ever. It's all dependant on getting my business off the ground. I can't think of a better incentive than this. I'm so excited.

[quackattack]

Luckey,

We are skipping the 2004 Halloween cruise to spend the week in the parks but have booked for the 2005 Halloween cruise. I will fill you in later. I have to get ready for work tomorrow. I have to work 2 days then I am free to plan for our week at the WDW parks.

I will get back to you soon.

I think I will be on this cruise...I will be booking in January when I get my tax refund. My first DCL...It will be my mom, me and my DD (7 at sailing).

My sister (tchrmom) is the cruise expert, but does anyone else have any suggestions about booking..should I go through Disney or DU?

[matty204]

Greetings,

we will be on the 10-29-2005 curise.
DW DD 15 DD13 and me

[DisneyDmbNut]

HI MATTY!!!

I can't wait to book...I hope the holidays will make the time go faster..that plus we are buying a house on Dec 1 so January will be here soon!

[luckeylasvegas]

Let the count down Begin! 365 days from now we'll be on the plane.

Luckey

[luckeylasvegas]

Betsy : My DD will be 8 this December.
She's and only child and makes friends very easily. Maybe they'll hang out.

Luckey

[DisneyDmbNut]

WOO HOO!!!!

365 days till we are eating breakfast at the Radisson...doing some last minute packing!

[quackattack]

Okay, so I don't have anything new to post. I am just excited and ready to start planning our next Halloween cruise. :hyper:

I guess I could tell you who will be cruising in our group. That would be:
myself :cake: Celebrating my 10/24 birthday a little late.
DH :bday: Celebrating his 10/31 birthday.
DS-age 5 at sailing.

My Dsis and possibly one of her daughters.

We will probably not be part of the Radisson group for this cruise. We attended MNSSHP last month and have decided to try to do it again before the cruise.

I guess I had a little more to say than I thought.

Trishy,

welcome...

Is anyone keeping an email list... my daughters are looking to get to know others in their ages before the cruise....

[quackattack]

Good Morning Trishy and Matty.

I am glad to see someone else posting. I had thought I had posted to the wrong thread. I had also found a "Halloween Magic 2005" thread that had also been started by Lucky but no one has posted to it since 10/29/04.

Maybe I am just impatient. :Pinkbounc I realize that the cruise is still almost a year away and not everyone is thinking about the cruise every day. This will be our third Halloween cruise and I can not wait.

I am looking forward to communicating with you over the next few months.

Hi!

I just found that thread (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?threadid=663101) you were referring to. Boy, the Halloween cruise pro "Ginger" offered to help organize - you really can't beat that! Hopefully, someone with experience on a past Halloween cruise can be <strike>project manager</strike> I mean leader of the Dis TorTing on the Magic. ;) (No pressure, Rochelle) :p

[DisneyDmbNut]

Hey...just checking in and BUMPING!

[jel0511]

Hey there everyone, is there room for one more!! We just got off the 11/6 Magic and will be joining you for the 10/29 Halloween sailing. It will be me, DH, DD7 and DS4. We're really looking forward to our 3rd DCL sailing. I'm already trying to think of some great Halloween costumes for our family!!! I am sure we're going to have a GREAT trip.

[DisneyDmbNut]

My DD (7.5 at sailing) has TOLD me that she is Tinkerbelle, I am Wendy and my DM is "one of the boys"
LOL

LOL That's funny!!! We're thinking of going as the Incredibles!! I don't know about myself getting in that lycra suit, but we'll see. My DD is also going to be 7 1/2 at the time of sailing, her birthday is May 11th. As we get closer, and their writing skills improve, we should try to get them to e-mail each other so they'll have a pal on the ship!!!!

[trishy]

Officially booked in two cabins on Deck 7 - really looking forward to it now. (and another excuse for a *bump* back to top):D

Hmmm...a lycra suit. Brave...very brave.:p

[quackattack]

Hi everyone, :grouphug:

It has been a while since I have checked in. I am glad to see we have more posters joining in.

Trishy: Of the past Halloween cruises, the last one is the only one that we participated in the DIS T or Ting. I was not really in on the planning but I will see what I can do. I will probably need a lot of help. (Hint, Hint)

Going to a Christmas party tonight, I guess I had better get away from the computer and get something done. I will be glad when this house learns to clean itself. LOL

Hi everyone ! We changed internet service and the I lost my Dis name and password , so I started from scratch. It seems that we will all have girls around the same age traveling, that will be great! My DD just turned 8 on 12/20. I'm sure we will have alot of princesses in on the TorT. Cassie wants to be Ariel but I'm sure this will change 50 times before we cruise. I hope you all had a great holiday season . Lets all try and keep in touch. :love:

Happy New Year From Las Vegas !!!!! :cool1:

[Soccermom-Cheri]

Hey everyone! We wanna come too! This will be our 3rd or 4th (depending if we go this summer in CA) cruise Disney-style. We have a Cassie, too. She'll be 7 in October. Timmy will be 12. This is our favorite itinerary and our favorite time to go.

It will be fun getting to know everyone before hand :grouphug:

Lori--

This is like deja vu!! Not 5 minutes ago, I responded to a post you made for the July 9th west coast cruise (on another thread), and here you are posting for the other cruise we are booked on for Oct 29th!! Unless I'm completely out of my reckoning, over 2 cruises we'll probably get to know you and yours quite well before the year is out!!

Our daughters might be good candidates to hang out together. Ours (Cassie) will be 7 at the time of sailing.

We're still booked on this sailing, but we are thinking of cancelling and going on the Eastern during 7/06. We've decided to wait until after the 7/9/05 cruise and decide if we're going to be ready to cruise again so soon, probably will. So, it looks like we might be seeing A LOT of each other between 7/9/05 and 10/29/05. We're also going to San Diego a few days before our 7/9/05 cruise, so it seems like I'm stalking you!!! HA HA HA!!! :cool1:

[DisneyDmbNut]

Well..I just did my taxes..and it looks REALLY GOOD!!! Better than I ever expected...gonna be booking the cruise on January 21 ( the date of the direct deposit) so...here is my question..which is better..booking with Disney or DU?
My sister always books Disney...

[jen-n-greg]

Hi Everyone :wave: Count us in for the 10/29/05 cruise :earboy2: This will be our 2nd Disney cruise-- the 1st was Oct '03 -- not Halloween though. I'll introduce us: I am Jenny, my DH is Greg and we have 3 children: DS age 5, DD age 8, and DD age 11. They are very excited to meet some new friends , they met some last time and had a blast. We will be heading to the parks the week before the cruise -- can't wait :Pinkbounc

Jenny

[DisneyDmbNut]

Jen, my DD will be 7.5 at sailing...maybe our daughters can get together!

[luckey-lasvegas]

soccermom & soccerdad: Do we all have DD named Cassie?
My Cassie just turned 8 in December and is very excited about being in the lab!'
She loves science!!!
She is going to be Ariel for her character spotlight in her figure skating competitions this year so she will probably use the costume for TorT while on board. It will be cute to get a picture of them all together.
Luckey

[luckey-lasvegas]

Ok I just figuered out that soccermom & soccerdad go together.
I'm a little slow on the uptake these days.

Luckey

[4wood4one]

We will be joining you all on the halloween cruise...7 of us in total..My self, my wife...my daughter ---she will be 16 and my son..he will be 7. My BIL/SIL and their 11 year old boy will be joining us. This will be the first disney cruise for all of us. Will there be any special halloween celebration? I am sure there will. Also..will there be any ice breakers for the teens. My daughter is a little shy and I am a little concerned about her finding kids her age to hang out with...I would appreciate any info you can offer...

Thanks.. :cool1:

No worries. As Soccermom oftens reminds me, I also sometimes forget that we go together :teleport:

These forums are the place to be if your DD is looking to make friends (aka arrange a "posse") before the cruise. That's the whole point for all of us.

We're all glad you're joining us. Is this your first Disney cruise? You can be sure there will be special Halloween activities on the ship during this cruise week. As for your "shy" daughter, this forum is a great place to identify families that have sons and daughters that are her age in advance of the cruise. What we've done with our kids is to set up an e-mail arrangement where they can correspond with potential friends before the cruise begins. However, you never know what will happen. On our last cruise, our DS had made contact with several kids his age (through this forum), but ended up being best buds with a boy whose family happened to be seated with us in our dinner rotation, and spent most of the cruise hanging out together. You just never know. The bottom line is, your kids will meet and become friends with numerous other kids, no matter what. Disney is really good at creating environments that encourage that kind of thing.

Chris

[luckey-lasvegas]

Hi everyone ! Just checking in. Lots of rain here in vegas today.
Hope you are all well.

Luckey :grouphug:

[Soccermom-Cheri]

:guilty: holy cow! lot's of rain here, too! kinda makes you wish for the drought again. 10 years wasn't so bad, was it? I'm really missing the sun at this point :cool:

Is anyone the "obsessive planner" type? On the October cruise we had one who basically investigated all of the different non-Disney excursions for the different stops. (The Disney ones are ok but tend to be a little crowded and can be more touristy). So, speak up if anyone wants to surf the net and check things out. I'll buy you a drink on board :drinking1 - ok maybe two, for your hard work.

[luckey-lasvegas]

Cheri: I've been trying to check out the excursions. The only thing I really found out so far was the Dubloon web site. I'll keep you posted if I find anything. There is also a shore excursions . com I think. And the snuba web site looked fun but a little $$$ for the time you got to be out in the water.
I'm thinking we are going to do the self tour most of the time. We went to Trunk bay for our honeymoon (holy cow 14 years ago !) by sharing a cab with another couple.
Luckey :umbrella:

[jen-n-greg]

Hi Betsy :wave: That would be great if our daughters could meet up :D

[DisneyDmbNut]

I was looking at the DCL website and when I was checking the rates for me, mom and DD..it showed the breakdown as Me and DD full price and the 2nd adult at half...WHY??

[d0peychik]

another cruiser here!! We had our engagement cruise october 2003 and this will be our honeymoon trip!! can't wait. I love halloween so it will be nice to see the kids dressed up on the boat.

[soccerdad-Chris]

Soon-to-be Mrs. Dopeychik (or Mrs. Dopeydude, I guess)--

Welcome, welcome. You know, it's not just the kids who are in costumes on Halloween. You better start thinking about whatcha gonna be!! pirate:

Chris

[luckey-lasvegas]

Welcome aboard Dopeychick.

[Soccermom-Cheri]

We all know that "Tropical Night" has been changed to "Yo Ho Pirate Night". Anyone want to be be brave with me and go as tavern wenches? I think this trip will be all about dressing up both in halloween costumes and adult costumes (for me a fancy dress, heels and hose is a costume). Why not add one more? :scratchin Could be kind of fun. Any brave souls out there?

[4wood4one]

This will be our first Disney cruise and the first cruise ever for DD and DS. DD is going to be 16 at time of sailing. Any other 15+ out there? It would be great for them to share some emails and meet on the cruise...
We are all deciding on costumes (must win the contest) and counting down the days. Don't forget the bubbles. I hope some other teens are going as well....
Since this is our first Disney cruise...advice is welcome... :jumping1:

[soccerdad-Chris]

DD is going to be 16 at time of sailing. Any other 15+ out there? It would be great for them to share some emails and meet on the cruise...


Because it's still a little early in this thread, it might take a little time for the teenagers to come out of the woodwork for your DD to hook up with (we're hoping this thread will begin to "heat up" soon). However, there is sure to be quite a few on the cruise. Not long ago, Disney converted the ESPN sports bar that was on Deck 11 to a club called "The Stack", which is reserved for teenagers (adults strictly forbidden). In addition to whomever she meets on the DIS in advance of the cruise, your DD is sure to meet lots of friends to hand out with there.

Chris

[luckey-lasvegas]

Hi all: Found us all the way on page 4, so I'm bumping us up !
Not sure about the tavern wench thing. Is pirate night on Haloween?
DD is going to be Ariel I'm thinking of maybe Ursula for me and Eric DH although I don't recal Eric having dunlaps disease. :earboy2:

[tinkryansmom]

Hello all! We are booked on the '05 Halloween Cruise also! And yes, I may be the obsessive one you've been looking for!! I booked through Costco in July '04!! My best friend is sailing in two days and I have given her more than enough info....

I AM SO EXCITED!!! :Pinkbounc It will be our first cruise: myself, DH and DD 5.5

I would be happy to help coordinate T or T'ing and a DISMeet on board.

Anything to take my mind off of this horrible, horrible California weather. :umbrella:

The wench thing...I could do that! Halloween costumes....top secret. Daughter says tinkerbell....I am thinking a family, group thing. Trying to keep the obsessive thing curbed a while longer!! :D

Otherwise I would start packing today. LOL I'm really not that bad...really.

[soccerdad-Chris]

tinkryansmom--
Welcome to the "we're all so excited we want to cruise NOW" club. :jumping4: :jumping4: :jumping4: :jumping4:
Your DD is 5.5 now, or will that be her age in October? We have a DD who's 7. As for meets and that kind of thing, you can rest assured that by the time we cruise, there will be sail-away party meetings, parties in suites for the people who meet here on the board, Palo brunches, group excursions, and all kinds of stuff.

Okay, it is time for bad news and good news.

Unfortunately, we will not be joining you on the 2005 Halloween cruise as planned. DHs vacation did not work out as we had planned. :charac2:

Now for the good news. We are not cancelling our cruise. We are just moving it to 2006. Maybe we will cruise with you then. :boat:

The next bit of good news is that we will be going to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party again this year. We had a great tme last year. :hyper:

I hope you all have a great time. :grouphug:

[luckey-lasvegas]

We're sorry you won't be going with us Quack Attack ! I fully understand though. We were supposed to be on the January 8th cruise this year but had to move it back until October. I think it was a good decision you have to do whats best for your family.
Good Luck! :grouphug:

Is anyone booked on the 10 - 29 -05 Magic yet ?

Luckey


I am.....

[luckey-lasvegas]

Join the crew Bonnie Lyn !

We just got home from Disney on Ice Monster INC. We had a great time and great seats for only $10.00 !!!
Can't wait till October. :magnify:

[Pacha]

We responded to the othe 10/29/05 thread, but as this one has taken over, will post here. There will be me, DW, DD 11 and DS 8(almost 9). We will be in #6608. We are staying at the Hyatt at the airport the night before. As for halloween costumes...i don't know about our kids yet, but my DW wants to be a 1920's flapper and I have to come up with something to go with that I guess.

My daughter, Ryan, is a christmas eve baby, so she will be just getting ready to turn 6 when we cruise. I am sure our daughters will meet up in the club.

We are thinking of staying at the Hilton in Cocoa Beach the night before. My best friend stayed at the Hyatt at the airport but I want to be closer to the ship when I wake up!! :rolleyes:

Hope to meet you all at some point.

RonnieJo!!

Cheri (soccermom, of course) and I have been wondering when you guys will enter the posting fray!!! :cool1: :cool1: The cruise last October was a total blast, and we were totally psyched when we found out we're cruisin' with you guys again. Give my regards to Beano. We are all anxiously awaiting his grand entrance to this thread!

Disney fanatics?? You guys?? Naaaawwwwww!!

Chris

[BeanoC]

Hey Chris!

I have been hesitant to post thus far, since we weren't sure about our normal 'traveling group', and therefore not sure if we would even be going. But we feel pretty sure now that we will... can't give up that suite so easily!! :D

I have to admit that it will be different than what we are used to, but we are very excited nonetheless. Tim plans to join us, but nobody else from our group of regulars will be sailing.
But that's ok - the DIS party is still in my room!!!!



'Beano' :cool:

[soccerdad-Chris]

Beano, Beano, Beano!!

Great to hear from you, buddy!! Even though we won't have the same gang this time, I have no doubt, using the immortal words of that famous philosopher "Pink", we'll "get the party started" anyway!!

The DIS party will be in your room only on the days when it's not in ours!!

Chris

[BeanoC]

Hey Chris, sounds like a plan!

But mine's bigger than yours...

And so is my suite!!! :earboy2:


'Beano' :cool:

[Soccermom-Cheri]

Hey, now, you boys play nice or we will have to separate you! :tilt:

Ronnie Jo! Glad to "see" you! How's everything with band and all? Keeping Beano out of trouble?

Tomorrow is Monday --- yuck! - but at least it gets us one day closer to cruisin'. :jumping4: :Pinkbounc :jumping3:

How are all of you out east fairing? Hate to tell you how beautiful it was today. Sunny blue skies. (anyone know of a "smilie" for "face laying out getting tan"? -lol)

Hey RonnieJo,
I sure hope it's nice there. I'm in NYC this week, and it's absolutely %#@!&$ freezing here. Send some CA weather my way, will ya?? :cool1: :cool1:

Chris

[RonnieJo66]

:wave: Hi Chris...

Well, the best I can do is a small patch of blue sky :sunny: sun hasn't been around the Central Valley for a while...we have been having gray days I'm afraid. But I guess nothing can compare to what you're in.........BBBBRRRRRRR!!!! Not me man!!!! Me no likey cold!!!!

Have a safe trip home....

[rvc]

Our family of seven will be on the ship Four adults and a 5, 7 and 10yr old! We can not wait!!!

We have gone to DW every year for the past 5 years but this is our first Disney cruise.

[BeanoC]

Welcome aboard, rvc!!

You'll love the Disney Cruise experience. The parks are great, but this is a whole new world... (if Aladdin and Jaz will forgive me).

The food, the shows, the ports, the kid's clubs, the nightlife... it's all there, and we wouldn't be going for the 6th time if it wasn't awesome. :)


And uh, Chris, sorry about being on your case already but, um, wait - no I'm not! And another thing - you snore!!


Ok, I need an aspirin. :headache:




'Beano' :cool:

[soccerdad-Chris]

And uh, Chris..... you snore!!
'Beano' :cool:

Beano,
I thought we agreed that we would never speak of that again. Well, at least you didn't get into how you found that out!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Cheers from the Big Apple,
Chris

[tinkryansmom]

Hey RonnieJo: :wave2:

Since we are in the same area, just wondering which airport you fly from and which airlines. We generally fly Southwest (DH has travel rewards :-) but from Sacramento the earliest I can get to Orlando is 5:30 pm assuming their schedule stays the same.

So much for my day at the beach before we cruise!! :sad2:

Just wondering - do you fly a day early? :confused3 And where do you generally stay at the airport or at the coast?

[DisneyDmbNut]

Ok...countdown timer is looking GOOD!!!

I have my DU reserved..payment to be made in full on Friday!!

[BeanoC]

tinkryansmom - I am answering for RonnieJo, who just happens to be my wife! :love:

We do one of two things, depending on available airfare :

We fly American out of Fresno to Dallas, then on to Orlando. That's a couple of 2 and a half hour flights on an MD80, and Fresno Airport is only 25 minutes from home. But more often, we've flown out of LAX, directly to Orlando, also on American. I like the direct flight much better of course, and it's also on a 757, but the 4 hour drive to the airport I can do without! And then we also have to pay for gas, a hotel, and parking.

So it really depends on the fares and the flight schedules, but either way we prefer American Airlines. And we always fly out at least 2 or 3 days early, and spend time at DisneyWorld, or if we don't have time for that, we stay at the Radisson in Cocoa Beach, which is just 2 minutes away from the port!


'Beano' :cool:

[tarzanman]

Beano! You didn't think that you got to have all this fun without Tarzanman did you? I thought not. Hello all!!! This will be Disney Cruise #8! Nice huh? I definitely cannot wait for this one. For all of you newbies, it is the people on the cruise that make it magical. This is a great group of people and as Beano and RonnieJo know, there is no one that you would rather be on a cruise with than Tarzanman! I need to start losing weight so that I can gain it back!

[soccerdad-Chris]

Tim the Tarzanman!!!

How you doin'?? Cheri and I are looking forward to cruising with you again. The cruise last October was mui excellent. October 29th seems so far away, though. The good news is that we're on the July 9th West Coast cruise, so we get to "warm up" for the Halloween cruise!!!

Let the fun begin now.

Chris

[DisneyDmbNut]

This will be my first Disney Cruise...I am kinda going through withdrawls..I usually take my big WDW trip the first of February but decided to skip it and take Dave and Fran's advice and try DCL!

[RonnieJo66]

:wave: Good Morning to you all...

As I sit here I begin to dream of my favorite drink.....SAILAWAY DRINKS!!!! :drinking1

Hey Cheri...wanna sip a sailaway drink with me?? :)

As the date gets closer, day by day, our group :grouphug: should be growing a bit!

Can't wait to squish my toes in the beautiful Castaway Cay sand!!!!!!

Nice day to all..

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower1:

[tarzanman]

Hey DisneyDMBNut! I am huge DMB fan! That is awesome. I have seen them in concert about 30 times or so. Very nice! You are coming on the cruise from a recommendation from Fran and Dave? Then you must be alright. They are great! So much fun!!! Are they cruising with us too?

[Soccermom-Cheri]

Ronnie Jo- just name the time and place (or times and places :wave2: ) and I would love to join you. I look forward to some girl chat. And, ah yes, that Castaway sand.... can't beat it, can you. I kind of like Head's Up, too. We did miss the cookies though. We'll have to remedy that this time. Up for a little shop?

Strange as it seems, we live less than an hour from the border and the last time I was in western Mexico I was 10 (that was ..... 15 years ago me thinks :rotfl: )

And, hey tarzanman! nice of you to drop by. I'm with you - gotta start taking off the pounds. Why do they go on so fast and come off so sloooooooowly?

Hope you all back east are thawing out. :cold: It was cold here last night. :umbrella: and 45.

Is it time yet :hourglass ?

[BeanoC]

Cheri - I agree, we definitely need to get to Cookies this time, and chow on some ribs, burgers and of course - cookies! Then we can go back to Head's Up and wash it all down!

tarzanman - I kinda remember you from the last cruise, but you'll have to refresh my memory - who are you again? :confused3

Chris - We were booked on the cruise the week before yours in L.A. this summer, but we cancelled. We are just going to DL instead. Besides, this cruise in October is mucho expensivo! (And with Cheri and Ronnie drinking together, it could cost me even more!!!!)

I better start saving now. One penny... two pennies...


Only about one million four hundred thousand pennies to go! :rotfl2:




'Beano' :cool:

[tarzanman]

Did I mention that it was 77° here today and could reach 80° tomorrow? I don't remember. It was a sunny day here today. Very nice. Too bad that I worked until the darn sun went down. Just got home at 10:30PM. Luckily I am working only a half day tomorrow. Maybe I will get to use the pool. Miss you all. This cruise is not coming fast enough. That is for sure.

[Soccermom-Cheri]

Hey t-man,
stop bragging and send some of that sunshine our way. no fair hogging. I'm losing my tan, man.

[soccerdad-Chris]

I'm in NYC this week. Yesterday it was 1. Fahrenheit. No, that's not a typo...I didn't forget to type the first digit. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Glad to be going back home today, even if it is a frigid 45 in sunny SD.

Chris

[DisneyDmbNut]

WOO HOO!!!


T-man - Fran and Dave are my sis and BIL...DMB is my "thing" were you in West Palm..I had 3rd row center both nights

[tarzanman]

DMBNut - Haven't seen DMB since 2003 due to busy work schedules and life events. I think that a few Disney cruises have gotten in the way too. Hope to see Dave this year sometime. Maybe Brazil.

[RonnieJo66]

Tarzanman Tim!! :love2:

There you go!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kisses for you!!!

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower1:

[tarzanman]

Thanks sweety. :love2: Right back at ya!

[luckey-lasvegas]

Hi Y'all ! :teeth:
I'm just wondering what most of you are doing about dinner seating.
We chose second seating because of some advice I read at mouse savers.
Is anyone else in second seating? I'd hate for Cassie to be the only kid in the group that had a differn't time for eating and I really would like her to eat with us as much as possible.
It sounds as if we are going to have a really fun group on board! I hope the Vegas crew can keep up :banana:
Luckey

[RonnieJo66]

Definitely late seating for us. No rush to get ready in the evenings, and we're done with dinner just in time to hit Beat Street! :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:


'Beano' :cool:


Oops! Didn't realize I was logged in under my wife's name. That's ok - we eat dinner together sometimes. ;)

[DisneyDmbNut]

i have first seating, but I wonder if I can change that...I would prefer the second seating for the same reason Beano said...no rush to get ready.

Well..I changed my stateroom ..2571..It is a Cat 10 and I saved about 300.00...I hope I made the right choice???!!!???

[RonnieJo66]

:bday: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHERI!!!

Happy 29th.......again!! :rotfl2:

Many happy wishes.....

Hugs,

RonnieJo & Beano

[BeanoC]

Hey, Cheri... I'm gonna have to buy you a birthday drink. Might be nine months late or so... but who's counting? It's never too late - especially when it comes to free drinks!! :drinking1

And, being the gentleman that I am, I would never tell people your age. I mean, what would I do that forty? I mean FOR! :rolleyes:

Hey, if I was 25 or so, that would have been mean. But 40?? Been there, done that!

Where's my Geritol??? :confused:


'Beano' :cool:

[luckey-lasvegas]

Personally I think that 1965 was an exceptional year to be born !!

Luckey ;)

[BeanoC]

I agree, luckey!!

1963 wasn't a bad year either... unless of course your name was Kennedy, and you lived in the White House. But here's some advice, in case you decide to take your motorcade to Dallas that week:


DUCK!


Ok. that was tacky. But since that was the week I was born, maybe I am the reincarnation of JFK's ill fated soul.


I kinda doubt it, though. After all, he saw a grand vision for our nation's future.


All I see is nekkid women with big cha-cha's. And lot of frosty mugs full of beer.


Hmmm... Maybe we ARE the same. :)



'Beano' :cool:

[luckey-lasvegas]

Happy Birthday Mr. President------ Happy birthday to you.

To remind you of Marilyn. :rotfl2:

I do agree though my big brother is a 63 and he's fantastic!
It must have been a great decade.

Luckey

[Soccermom-Cheri]

I haven't the foggiest idea what any of you are talking about .. :rolleyes2 but I'll take the free drinks anyway. Make mine a cosmo, no wait a rum runner, no wait a bahama mamma, no wait just bring 'em all and put it on Beano's tab!

And even if it was my birthday I'd get a wish, right? :wizard: OK, I wish to be 30, a size 4 and be on the magic, cruisin' along.

[BeanoC]

Sure, just put it on Beano's tab!

It's not for you to understand, Cheri. Suffice it to say that there is something terribly wrong with me. :crazy:


Guess I'll have a beer.




'Beano' :cool:

[RonnieJo]

:Pinkbounc Cheri: ME TOO ME TOO :Pinkbounc


Don't feel as though I need to be 30 again, but the size 4 and cruising I'm SO down with ya' on that one!!!!!!!

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower1:

[RonnieJo66]

:rotfl2: Me a size 4.......NOW thats funny!!! ::MinnieMo ::MickeyMo I WANT TO SEE THE MOUSE!!!! I am jealous....I have a friend who is in WDW as we speak!

9months from today we will be trick or treating on the Magic!!!! WOO-HOO!!!

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower1:

[soccerdad-Chris]

RonnieJo & Beano,
Have you guys thought at all about what you're gonna do with that piano? If you expect someone to actually play it, we better start taking lessons. If I have 9 months, I could probably learn a version of "Redneck Woman" that RonnieJo and Cheri could sing to (since we never got the Karaoke version last time).
Beano, I suspect you have several ideas on this, none of them having anything to do with music. :rotfl2:

Chris

[RonnieJo66]

Chris:

You mean you're supposed to "play" the piano??? :rotfl2:

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower1:

[soccerdad-Chris]

Chris:
You mean you're supposed to "play" the piano??? :rotfl2:

Hugs,
RonnieJo :flower1:
I dunno, RonnieJo. That's the gist of the question. This is new territory for me--I don't even have a piano in my house, let alone in a SR on the Magic. Since this is a Halloween cruise, I thought of going as Billy Joel or Elton John, but that whole mystique will evaporate the second I put my fingers on the keys.

I can think of lots of things that a piano can be used for, but my lack of musical talent means that none of them involve the production of music of any kind!! Since Beano's imagination is much more advanced than mine, I figure he's got even more ideas, which is what prompted my question.

Beano, this is a time when only your much revered, though dubious, level of wisdom is needed. What is the fate of this piano on this cruise??

Chris

[DisneyDmbNut]

So...I have a early dining...not late...Does anyone else have this??

[tarzanman]

Sorry DMBNut. Have late seating. Need time to make myself look pretty so that Beano will still hang out with me.

[DisneyDmbNut]

Beano can SEE while on the cruise?? with all the drinks sloshing around, I wasn't sure!
LOL

[soccerdad-Chris]

Beano can SEE while on the cruise?? with all the drinks sloshing around, I wasn't sure!
LOL
If you've cruised on the Magic as many times as Beano has, you do not need to be able to see to get around. I'd wager a round of drinks that he can walk blind-folded from any part of the ship to any other part without touching a wall or bumping into a chair.

Chris

[RonnieJo66]

:mad: Chris:

I'm sure it was not your intention, but that was not a very nice comment you made about my husband.

RonnieJo :flower1:

[RonnieJo66]

Chris:

Thank you for the edit.

RonnieJo :flower1:

[DisneyDmbNut]

:cool1: *Beano the tour guide*
What is the drink of the day...I mean, I know they have a different drink...but what are they usually?

[BeanoC]

Hey Chris - I am much harder to offend than that. Careful though - paybacks are hell! :earsboy:


And for the record : I've spent LOTS of time on those dang treadmills in the ship's gym, usually first thing in the morning - you know - before the bars open!


'Beano' :cool:

[soccerdad-Chris]

Beano,
Maybe if I say 100 "Hail Marys" and have the concierge have a six-pack of chilled Miller Lites waiting in the Walt when you arrive, my debt will be paid?!? :scratchin

Chris

[soccerdad-Chris]

....oh, I almost forgot....

I better also have one of them fancy sail-away drinks waiting for RonnieJo and Cheri, too...gotta keep the ladies happy, 'cuz if they ain't happy, ain't nobody gonna be happy!! :teeth: :teeth: :teeth:

Chris

[BeanoC]

Chris - I see 2 problems: First, I didn't know beer even came in 6-packs !!

12 oughta do it. :rotfl:

Second - Miller light? Nah. Coors light! :sunny: And the sailaway drinks are definitely a good idea too.


As for the piano, I am not sure, but if they bring any more food for the DIS party this year than they did last year, we'll need to use it as a table!
(I know a great piano joke, but I think I might get flamed for telling it on the DIS!!)

tarzanman - You'll always be cute enough to hang out with me. You 'da man!

:worship:

DisneyDmbNut - The drinks of the day include Yellow Birds, Rum runners, Bon Voyage drinks; but it seems kinda meaningless to me, since they have all of those everyday anyway! I mean, I don't think they even give you a better price when it's the drink of the day. When they make beer the drink of the day, and make them 50 cents, THEN I'll pay attention!!



'Beano' :cool:

[soccerdad-Chris]

OK, Beano, 12 silver bullets it is!!

DisneyDmbNut,
Just one additional bit on the drink of the day: never buy them from the servers running around with trays full of them. If you want one with the correct amount of alcohol in it, go the the bar and order one made. Much better that way.

Chris

[RonnieJo66]

:drinking1 I totally agree about the pre-made drinks on the trays.......VERY BAD CHOICE!
I will definitely have to go and find either Anna or Mark...those 2 KNOW how to make an awesome sailaway drink!!!!!

Sailaway drink in hand, deck 10, the horn blows and its "Magic" time!

So who's with me???? :boat:

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower1:

[soccerdad-Chris]

Hopeton is my guy for drinks. From Jamaica, mon!!!!!!!!

Is it October yet??? :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Chris

[DisneyDmbNut]

I was wondering if they made them cheaper...guess not, hmm.

I think I have heard Fran mention the yellowbird...I am a martini girl..straight up, little dirty..ahhh..that is heaven!

ps..y'all can call me Betsy..it is easier than typing DisneyDMBNuT!

[soccerdad-Chris]

Betsy,

Glad to know your name. The other one took too long to type.

Martinis straight up, now that's a drinker!!! I'd be on my *booty* after only a couple of those. The drinks of the day that we've been discussing are big, fruity mixes of juices and some alcohol, and a pineapple slice and umbrella for looks. You're talking about something altogether different: serious drinks with pure alcohol. The advice that RonnieJo and I gave you is mute here: you won't find any servers running around the deck of the Magic with a tray full of straight-up martinis. You'll definitely have to visit one of our recommended bartenders for those.

But, I must say, you sound like someone that likes to have fun!! :drinking1

Chris

[RonnieJo66]

The part about not buying drinks from the 'walk-around' castmembers with trays is definitely true! The drinks are weaker, and they've been carried around in the 90 degree sun for a while so they're melted and slushy too! Yuck. Go to the bar and order one; and if it's a blender drink, and nobody else has ordered one, they sometimes even give you the extra from the blender, for free! Free is always good!! :drinking1

I agree Chris, Hopeton is the dude! If I remember correctly, he was usually at the bar at the adult pool on deck 9. I think he was tending bar on CC too, at 'Conched Out'. The man pulls a mean beer! ;)

Chris and Cheri - last year's DVD is FINALLY on it's way to you! Sorry for the loooong delay. Real life can put such a cramp in my style sometimes! Sorry you guys aren't in it all that much - we didn't really know you very well yet. So this year... you won't be in it at all!!! LOL

Just kidding... and for all of you who've never cruised with me before, be prepared to be photographed and videographed constantly. Camera in one hand, frosty mug in the other - that be Beano! :wave2:


Smile, you're on BeanoCam. ::yes::



Oops, did it again! Posted under my wife's login. I can easily edit a post, but why can't I figure out how to delete one? What am I missing here - anyone?? Used to be easy.


'Beano'

[DisneyDmbNut]

Ugh...I have a hard time with Fruity drinks...make me ill..too much sugar! Now..a nice martini with a breath of vermouth....mmm

[luckey-lasvegas]

Do they have the Margaritas or Daquris from the machines like big adult slurpees? Or do the they blend everything ? I work at a Margaritas by the yard resturaunt in Las Vegas (LA SALSA @ the LUXOR) and I love the ones from the machines. Here's my tip: A Hurricane made with Mango infused :drinking1 Malibu rum , oh it's to die for!

Cheers!

Luckey

[soccerdad-Chris]

Luckey-
They blend everything from scratch, as far as I've seen. What you describe sounds good, but I think a Hurricane infused with almost anything is going to be yummy.

Personally, I like a 22-ounce Disney souvenier mug infused with beer. :drinking1

Chris

[luckey-lasvegas]

I think I'll stick with the girls and the fruity drinks, although I have been known to do a shot of Tres Generations from time to time.

Did the soccermom and dad grow up playing soccer or is it only the kids?
I played in AYSO Reg 59 Orange County my whole life, Then at Pacifica HS, College ball at CSULB and finally the OC womens soccer league on the sting.

Don't ask me how I wound up with a figure skating daughter ! princess:

Luckey

[soccerdad-Chris]

Soccermom played some while growing up---also in Orange County. Soccer was one of my passions growing up, and still is (though I mostly watch now, and coach a little). As a kid, I played on competitive teams that travelled around the state.

Our DIS screen names, though, are inspired primarily from the fact that DS Timmy is a young soccer-stud, and a fair number of our weekends are spent on the road at soccer tournaments (e.g. last week we were in San Bernardino, and this weekend we'll be in Lancaster (yeccchhh!!).

Chris

[RonnieJo66]

Lancaster?? Oh Boy!! :sad2:

Beats what I'll be doing this weekend though, I assure you. :rolleyes:


I'm with you on the beer mug thing, Chris. Mine got swiped out of my suite last year though! I think housekeeping picked it up amongst all those wine glasses we had all over the place.
Now I only have 4 of those mugs at home! :rotfl2:

You and Cheri should be receiving a DVD from me in a day or 2. It's pretty silly, actually, but I hope you get a laugh out of it. Word of warning though: it is NOT child appropriate! :p

Anybody catch the recent news article about the new Disney ship?? They're waiting for the dollar to gain on the euro before they get going on it, but at least it's more than just a pie-in-the-sky thought now! Still, it could be years before she sails. Put me down for the, um, Eisner suite, man! :Pinkbounc

One of the moms from my skating rink was at Disneyland last Wednesday and it was a very slow day , so she began to talk to the CM's there. She said that they were very excited ablout the new Disneyland President who used to be in charge of DCL. They also said that the west coast cruise would become a permanent thing. She did'nt ask about a new ship but we wondered if maybe they'll do west coast during Hurricane season until the new ship is ready. It will be a great thing for us west coasters! :cheer2:

Luckey :cool1:

[DisneyDmbNut]

Put me down for the, um, Eisner suite, man!

Well, it is the weekend!! Time to shop!! Is there a list anywhere of what nights are what?? Like Tropical night, formal night?? There is a new Tommy Bahama shop in my mall and I am going to go see what is "Cruise Worthy"!

[soccerdad-Chris]

Betsy,
I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes (often, some would say), but I missed the correlation between the Eisner suite and shopping at Tommy Bahama. Did I miss something? :confused3 :confused3
Chris

[DisneyDmbNut]

no..I was laughing on the floor with thoughts of an Eisner suite...then my mind snapped right back to shopping ( where it usually resides )

Could ya stick a bottle of pepsi in the piano for me if I'm real nice?
Remember I work in a bar in Vegas so I could come in real handy from time to time.

I seem to recall from an earlier post that Luckey likes Hurricanes made with Mango-infused Malibu rum. I'm sure something like that can be arranged, but it might make a mess if we put it inside the piano along with the silver bullets (or keg, as Tarzanman suggests).

Luckey, did I get that right?

Also, I was kind of assuming that you and Tim basically bring each other to everything, making you a natural dancing pair. That's what brought the old quote to mind.

Chris

[luckey-lasvegas]

You have a good memory Chris you are exactly right, although I'd probably nurse that Hurricane for an hour or so. I'd be more than happy to play bartender though.
We could always put a splash of rum in that pepsi anyway.
Luckey

[DisneyDmbNut]

Luckey is going from Pepsi to Pepsi with a splash to MAngo infused Hurricane!!! Sounds like the bartender might be alot of fun!!
Is it possible to have some Miller Lite in the piano or is that too trailery?

[BeanoC]

Well, since I don't really want to have to walk the plank, I probably better not hollow out the piano... but I will definitely have an ice chest or two!
Miller lite, Coors light, Bud light, Pepsi, bottled water... anything else? :)

We'll also have a huge spread of food, much like the one you might have seen in the pics on our website. Now all we need to do is come up with the day and time for the party!! :banana: :banana:


'Beano' :cool:

[DisneyDmbNut]

Do we all get Lime green shirts??

I have decided that I will not be taking any dive excursions this time...a family friend passed away on his cruise Tuesday and I am a big believer in SIGNS!! This is my big sign NOT TO GO DIVING!

[RonnieJo66]

:confused3 I'm afraid that Lucky will have to make due with Coke products since thats what they stock on board...Beano, are you gonna pick up "special" Pepsi for Lucky??

MMMMMM, Disney Magic...... :Pinkbounc I wanna go I wanna go :Pinkbounc NOW!!!!! :goodvibes


come sail away...come sail away, come sail away with me! :boat:

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower1: :mickeybar

[soccerdad-Chris]

Miller lite, Coors light, Bud light, Pepsi, bottled water... anything else? :)
You can count on Cheri and me bringing some quality wine and champagne--we might even have a glass or two!!
Chris

[BeanoC]

Betsy - Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. Was it a diving accident or ?? :sad1:

And yes, we generally wear lime green shirts so we can identify each other!! Trust me - when we walk into the port, Tim and I are not hard to spot! We're a bit shy though... :rotfl:

Chris - champagne, wine... sounds good. Plus beer, rum runners, hurricanes, JD shots...

Does concierge provide aspirin and EMT's??? :crazy: :crazy:



'Beano' :cool:

[DisneyDmbNut]

Thanks Beano...he jumped into the waters off a Catamaran in Aruba and never surfaced..I found out today, they were just snorkling...I just couldn't imagine going on a cruise and coming back a widow!! Ok..enough sad stories!


EMT you say??
DH is a paramedic...should I have him give me a brush up on my CPR skills?? I can be the groups nurse!

[RonnieJo66]

:sad1: Betsy....so sorry about your friend....pixie dust to the family.

Time to give soccerdad-Chris a hard time! He has had way too much fun on his July thread...he has been teasing everyone for many, many pages about what he does for a living.

:Pinkbounc Hey Chris...do we get to play any games on our thread??? :Pinkbounc :rotfl:

Oh, by the way Betsy.....if'n you wanna be a nurse for a bunch of guys, does that mean you're gonna dress the part (high heeled nurse in a short skirt) :rotfl:

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower1: :mickeybar

[soccerdad-Chris]

RonnieJo,
Someone on that thread started that last night, wondering what I did for a living, and it exploded into a "What's My Line?" thingy throughout the day. That thread went nuts today!!! :crazy: :crazy:

It just ended a few minutes ago with the secret being revealed.

Actually, while that was going on, I was thinking how fun it would be, for the people on this thread that don't know Beano, to have then guess HIS line of work. I think that would be far more interesting a discourse than my boring ole corporate job.

Chris

[DisneyDmbNut]

Oh, by the way Betsy.....if'n you wanna be a nurse for a bunch of guys, does that mean you're gonna dress the part (high heeled nurse in a short skirt) :rotfl:

LOL!! My high heeled/mini skirt days went out the window when I traded them for Mommy clothes!! :rolleyes:

It is COLD here this morning...46 outside my office door!!! :cold: :cold: :cold:

[RonnieJo66]

OK EVERYONE...its time to play "What's my Profession" (well not mine actually...Beano's)........and no you can't play if you already know what he does! NO CHEATING :rotfl2:

I'll give you all a start: he owns his own business and deals with people

it's a start...you go from there


Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower1: :mickeybar

[DisneyDmbNut]

I am out...Dave told me what he does ...LOL

[RonnieJo66]

Bummer Betsy...forgot your connections! :rotfl: Man I think that only leaves Lucky ....maybe we should guess someone elses profession. Who doesn't know much about any reguler poster...??? Who can we choose :confused3

Rainy day :umbrella: here today.....I want some sun :sunny:

...and while I'm at it, I guess I can saw I want to see the mouse too!!!! ::MickeyMo

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower1: :mickeybar

[DisneyDmbNut]

We can try me..

I work in restaurants, firestations and schools..my office sometimes has wheels

[RonnieJo66]

First thing that came to my mind was a mobile librarian... pretty sure that not it though :confused3


anyone ... anyone ???

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower1: :mickeybar

[RonnieJo66]

Does it have anything to do with safety???

RonnieJo :mickeybar

[DisneyDmbNut]

Does it have anything to do with safety???


I deal with safety, but it really isn't what I do...

Hint2:

If I don't get my work done right, my boys get angry...then London Bridge WOULD be falling down ( well...sorta )

[RonnieJo66]

Construction office on sites...????


RonnieJo :mickeybar

[DisneyDmbNut]

Construction office on sites...????

DINGDINGDING!!
I am the office manager for a construction company...we build HOUSTON'S RESTAURANTS, Fire Stations, Schools..our biggest client is Houston's for all their maintenence...AWESOME restaurant! :love:

[RonnieJo66]

:banana: yeah I WIN I WIN :banana:

WOO-HOO for me!!!!

yeah, small things amuse me :rotfl2:

Hugs,

RonnieJo :mickeybar




wanna guess for me now????

[DisneyDmbNut]

:banana: yeah I WIN I WIN :banana:
wanna guess for me now????
ok...go

[RonnieJo66]

Hint : first let me say I USED to do this! I worked half days and had a team mate.



RonnieJo :mickeybar

[BeanoC]

You guys have WAY too much time on your hands!!

Hey Ronnie Jo, do I get to guess about you too?? :cool1:


'Beano' :cool:

[RonnieJo66]

:rotfl: NO BEANO...you are already know WAY TOO MUCH :rotfl:

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower1: :mickeybar

[DisneyDmbNut]

You were a school crossing guard?

[RonnieJo66]

Not a crossing guard....

hint: i played all day and I know my zoophonics, do you?


Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower: :mickeybar

[DisneyDmbNut]

Preschool teacher??

What the heck is a zoophonics?

[RonnieJo66]

:banana: YES :banana: Preschool Teacher is the correct answer!

Zoophonics are a teaching technique to teach pre-school kids the sounds letters make...

such as :

Allie alligator lives in a "A" and says ....ah

I have graduated many students who are reading before kindergarten....guess it works huh :goodvibes

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower: :mickeybar



who's next????

[BeanoC]

Hmmm, and here all this time I thought zoophonics was what you had to learn to be a tour guide at Animal Kingdom. :confused3



'Beano' :cool:

[DisneyDmbNut]

YES!!!!

ok..here is a question I need answered quick and my favorite BIL is not around to answer...are you all staying at the Radisson?? ( well, I think Beano and RJ are at WDW??) anyway..the Radisson has a "Cruise Package" that is $139.00 a night and free parking for the week..they also will take you to the ship on the shuttle..anyone done this??

[BeanoC]

Yep, we've stayed at the Radisson a few times before the cruises. We've usually paid around $95.00 per night, but we don't need parking. So, I'd say $139.00 is pretty good; that's about 40 bucks or so to park, which is reasonable. It's a really nice place to stay, and the shuttle ride is a mere 5 minutes to the port! If you stay there, don't forget to try the pizza at Kelseys! ::yes::



'Beano' :cool:

[tinkryansmom]

Hi everyone!! :wave2:

I am way behind on the fun you all have been having!!

OK- A construction office manager, a pre-school zoophonics expert and chris and beano....hmmm..did I miss those reveals??

For Beano, I thought...let's put together Kingsburg and beans. HMMM.... farmer. :rotfl: But the "works with people" is throwing me.... works with people doctor, works over people professional debt collector :smooth: , works on people counselor... Am I close yet!!?

Chris is corporate...went to NY...lives in SD... and plays soccer...Paris Hilton's PR manager!! :Pinkbounc

Hey - this is fun!

Me, not as exciting. I stay home - OK supposed to stay home - and am paying for my cruise with my home business. Yep, think stay at home mom direct sales type thing.

Ronnie Jo - don't send the rain to Tracy.... I am sick of it!! :umbrella:

Betsy - sorry to hear about your family friend.

OK- I think I am all caught up!! :cheer2:


Johnna

[BeanoC]

Johnna - Sorry, I'm not a farmer!! Although that is a very good guess, since this is one of richest agricultural areas in the nation...

I DO, however, plant things. ;)



'Beano' :cool:

[tinkryansmom]

OK- works with people
Plants things

do you "plant" people? :teeth:

[BeanoC]

Quote : Do you "plant" people?


Um.... YUP! :angel:


Ok, you got it... that's what I do.

So, with all due respect to those we serve:

We are honored to serve the public which calls on us. We strive to bring dignity and meaning to the memory, and memorialization, of those who have passed. No loss is taken lightly and we are very proud of what we do.


With that said... without a sense of humor, I'd have been in a straight jacket long ago!

SO ...


You guessed it:


Beano is the body farmer.


The gut plumber.


The last one to let you down (Six FEET Down).


The one who knows if you're REALLY a true blonde.


And so many more things that I am certain you really do not care to know!



'Beano' :cool:

[tarzanman]

Yes but what does Tarzanman do? He works with people too.

[BeanoC]

Ah yes, tarzanman! I was hoping you'd enter the 'game'!

My man Tim the tarzanman works for a Fortune 500 (or are they Fortune 100 ?) company, and I dare not say much more so y'all can guess just what that job is.

Chris, put a sock in it buddy! You already know who he works for. Suffice it to say that while this conglomerate peddles its wares around the globe, it's guys like Tim who keep their assets flowing in positive directions... Ok, n'uff said. What does he do????



'Beano' :cool:

[soccerdad-Chris]

Chris, put a sock in it buddy! You already know who he works for.
Don't worry, Beano. If you have seen the July 9th thread that started this whole thing, you'll know that I've had more than enough of the whole "What's My Line?" thingy. Lordy, that produced almost 50 posts in one day!!! Sheesh!!

Have a good weekend everyone. We were supposed to go to Lancaster again for Timmy's soccer, but that got rained out. That's the good news. The bad news is that a rain-out only postones the inevitable: a fun-filled weekend in beautiful, exciting, cultured Lancaster.

Chris

[BeanoC]

Sorry Chris, I know how much you guys love Lancaster! ;)

Well we're off to the "Disney blowout store" today. They open up a temporary storefront and sell all the closeout stuff from Disneyland at ridiculously low prices! :cool1:

Shirts that were originally $50 sell for 10 bucks, etc. Ronnie goes nuts in there! :crazy:

Have a great weekend all !

Anyone figure out where Tim works yet??



'Beano' :cool:

[luckey-lasvegas]

Sorry I missed all the what's my line fun. That's what happens when you work the swing shift! Hope everyone had a nice weekend ! :sunny: :flower: :sunny: :flower:
Luckey

[Soccermom-Cheri]

Hey, guys! :wave2: Miss me? (stop laughing) Hey, Ronnie Jo, what did you pick up at the Disney blow out? - inquiring minds wanna know...

:Pinkbounc :bounce: it's good to be back on the boards :banana: :banana:

[DisneyDmbNut]

I went to the Disney Store this weekend and got Kate Disney jammies for next winter. I also got her pictures taken at Sadies for spring...gee, what happened to my baby??
Well, pizza is here..
Have a great night!!

[kamgen]

Thanks for giving it away Beano! Now everyone has it narrowed down to at least 100 companies. They will get it easily.

Tarzanman

[BeanoC]

Aw, pipe down, Kamy! Or I'll give ya 'da back of me hand! :goodvibes

100 is a lot to choose from... could be Microsoft, or Shell Oil, or General Motors... or even Beano Enterprises! No wait, we're Fortune 37000! (Ranked 36,988th, I believe!) :rotfl2:


It puts a smile on my face to see you post here, Kam. My family's experiences with DCL are SO much about you!!! :earboy2:


'Beano' :cool:

Oops, just saw that it was really you, Tim. My bad!! But the same is true for you - our Disney Cruise memories include you in just about everything. :love:

[RonnieJo66]

:wave: Hi Cheri!

Bummer, didn't find anything for myself, but did get DD 2 t-shirts. (they need to get bigger sizes!) :rotfl:

Where you been anyway???? :confused3

Tarzanman: maybe you need to give em' a hint or two...

Happy Valentine's Day to me!! Beano and I went out to an adult dinner ( no kids) and he had a limo pick us up!! woo-hoo, I love surprises!!! :love:

Hope you all have a wonderful day as well!!!


Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower: :mickeybar

[DisneyDmbNut]

Happy VD!!!

Had to run out at lunch and get DD a card...I am a bad mommy and forgot..

[tarzanman]

Here is my hint. I work for the world's largest debt issuer. Have at it!

[soccerdad-Chris]

Here is my hint. I work for the world's largest debt issuer. Have at it!
Uhhhh, Tim..... I think you mean the world's *second* largest debt issuer. You forgot about that guy with the white beard, top-hat, and red-white-and-blue suit (i.e. Uncle Sam).

Besides, folks, let's not forget: this "What's My Line?" thingy is supposed to be about guessing what Tim does, not who he works for. Even if you get the company right, this particular employer has hundreds, if not thousands, of distinct occupations within it. I already know what he does, and for whom, so I will not add anything here, but Tim, even if you told everyone who you work for, that will not make it obvious what you do...... :earboy2: :earboy2: :earboy2:

Chris

[DisneyDmbNut]

Here is my hint. I work for the world's largest debt issuer. Have at it!
Amex??

I am trying to think what is in Ft Lauderdale??

[justice&jordan'smom]

I was checking online for rates for upcoming cruises. I noticed this date as I would love to cruise on Halloween. Could anyone tell me the best place to book, actually the cheapiest? I have to find a resonable price to get DH to agree. It's funny he is sick of Disney World but loves the cruise. I will take what I can get.

[DisneyDmbNut]

I booked with Dreams Unlimited
DreamsUnlimited (http://www.dreamsunlimitedtravel.com)
they were $300.00 less than DCL offered and I got a $50.00 onboard credit on top of that.

[BeanoC]

We booked on board last year, so we got a $200 on board credit for this cruise. Then, I rolled it over to DreamsUnlimited, and got another $100 rebate!

I'd say booking with DreamsUnlimited is as good as you're gonna do...



Betsy - Don't think in terms of Ft. Lauderdale. The company Tim works for has offices in every major city in the United States (And half of the rest of the countries in the world!) That help?


'Beano' :cool:

[DisneyDmbNut]

Nope!!! I am not very good at this game...is he a lawyer?

[tarzanman]

Chris,
You make an excellent point but that was the idea. Knowing the company will help. Sorry about that little debt statistic. When speaking in terms of corporations they leave out governments most of the time. Largest corporate debt issuer is what I should have said. Hopefully that will at least nail down the company. Then we can get to the actual job that I do for them. Good luck.

[RonnieJo66]

:wave: Hi Betsy...

Nope, Tarzanman is not a lawyer. Try again ;)

Betsy, just have to tell you that your DD is a beautiful girl!

As it is raining here, I am dreaming of being on CC at The Heads Up Bar...I'll just take that Nutty Buddy to go please :drinking1 I'll drink in the my lounge chair at the edge of the water :love: aaaaahhhhhhh!

Nice Day to All!

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower: :mickeybar

[DisneyDmbNut]

:wave: Hi Betsy...

Nope, Tarzanman is not a lawyer. Try again ;)

Betsy, just have to tell you that your DD is a beautiful girl!


Thank you very much...she is a cutey!

Mmm...debt issuer...for me that would be Louis Vuitton and I don't think that he works for them..but if you do Tim..I am your new best friend!!!! :rotfl:

[luckey-lasvegas]

We booked through Vacationstogo.com we are cat 12 GTY which is as cheap as you can get because they don't rent out the life boats ! :rotfl2:
Now we plan to spend as much time as possible with Beano and Ronnie Jo in the big suite! (just Kidding)
Betsy your DD is adorable ! I can't wait to see all the princess's together! princess: princess: princess:
What is the plural form of princess that dosen't look right but I'm sure it's not princi.
Hey Beano my Uncle worked for a people planter all through high school, then went on to bagging in Viet Nam and is now an Orange County Coroner. He worked in LA for a long time also. He always has the best house on the block for Halloween.
As far as Tarzanman I'm going to guess B of A or Citybank as the company.
But not sure of the profession hmmm maybe Bank President.
Hope you all had a Happy Hearts Day! Lots of weddings in sin city yesterday and lots of crappy tippers!
Luckey

[RonnieJo66]

:wave: Hi Lucky

Beano and I WILL be having a party on our suite.....and of course you have to come!! :grouphug: Kind of a tradition for us!
Beano lived and worked while in school in LA area...maybe he knows your uncle??? We are usually gone for Halloween or we too would love to "scare" :scared1: the locals with our home... :rotfl2:

As far as your guess for Tarzanman...try again!

You'd think if people were gonna get hitched in "The Vegas" that they would drop alittle $$...sorry that it didn't go your way

Hugs,

RonnieJo :mickeybar

[luckey-lasvegas]

Ronnie Jo: My Uncle's name is Joe Luckey he is originally from the Paramount area , but has lived in Garden Grove for the last 25+ years.

Thank you for the invite I'm sure we'd love to go.
As far as the tipping it comes with the territory!
Usually I wait on some very lovely people.

Has anyone done the Not so scary thing ?
Or is anyone planning on going this time?

Luckey

[RonnieJo66]

:cool1: Lucky:

We have done the MNSSHP the last 2 years...it's great fun! We're not doing it this year as we will be onboard for Halloween. Now I gotta figure out sumthin' for us all to dress as :rotfl2:

What to be, what to be...that is the question~! :rotfl:

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower: :mickeybar

ps...as far as our party goes...we will let you know when it'll be so everyone has the info as well :goodvibes

[DisneyDmbNut]

DD has decided that she is tinkerbelle, I am wendy and mom will be Smee...this is fine with me because all I have to wear is a long blue nightgown and maybe carry a pice of felt shaped like Peter pan's shadow...mom as Smee..THIS I gotta see!

[BeanoC]

Lucky - I worked for BKBS mortuary (which, sadly, no longer exists) in Anaheim, right in the heart of Orange County. We also had locations in Garden Grove, Pacific View, Whittier, Norwalk and Long Beach, so I spent lots of my time at the OC Coroner's Office, as well as the LA Coroner's Office, for one funeral home or another! I most likely worked with your uncle; sorry to say I don't remember him specifically - it was quit a few years ago!

Yes, by all means you must attend our DIS party. I told you - I need a bartender! :rotfl:

Just kidding. Come and enjoy the fun. As the cruise draws closer, I would like to know when people are doing excursions, or more importantly, when they're not, so we can try to schedule the party at a time most convenient for everyone. :bounce: :Pinkbounc


We had fun at it last year... so I'm told. Kinda foggy on the whole thing. :rolleyes1

Beano,
We plan our excursions around when you schedule your party. Just say when, and the excursions will fall into place from that!! You're a pro at this, so I know I don't need to say that scheduling it the day before a day-at-sea is a given!! :earboy2: :earboy2:

I seem to have the same non-recollection of last years party as you do!! I recall Minnie and Snow White, an "appetizer" plate from room service that would have easily fed everyone on the ship for a month, a buncha bottles of Cakebread chardonnay, a case of silver bullets, and....and....and....

...everything in between is a blur...

Sure was fun, though...that much I do recall!!

Chris

[luckey-lasvegas]

So I'm just wondering who grew up in So Cal?
I myself am a proud member of the Pacifica High School :cool1: ( West Garden Grove) class of 1983.
And the class of 89 @ CSULB.
My Hubby graduated from Edison (Huntington Beach) in 1972.
Although he stared out as a Huntington Beach High pirate:

I know there is at least one other California Girl on Board and you know what the song says !!!

[pmcougar05]

Whats up Homie! Long time no hear. Can't wait to go on the cruise again with all of you! I will try not to get sick mid-week this time and miss your party again. Just got another phat raise...they must like me around here or something, but i tell you what....WORK SUCKS! Anyone have a winning lottery ticket i can split with them? Well just a quick drop in...can't wait to see everyone and their costumes for halloween this year....only...too long to go, till the next cruise.

[DisneyDmbNut]

I am a Florida girl...born in Ft Lauderdale ( Holy Cross, tarzanman) and never moved. I live in Palm Beach County now...about 1 hour north of where I grew up.

I am looking forward to DH retirement in about 8 years....we are going to move north!!

[pmcougar05]

Betsy, are you NUTS!! It is cold up here, stay down there in the nice warm weather, although, i don't think you have skiing down there.

What's up Timmy...sorry i couldn't come down this weekend, flights were rediculous! But i will come down there soon i promise. Always eager to get away from work, even though they keep throwing money at me. Now i have the power to hire and fire people...guess i should start practicing....YOUR FIRED! It's not you its...no wait it is you...YOUR FIRED! Wow you are hot and sexy...your HIRED!..haha Ok back to yelling at my employees

patrick

[RonnieJo66]

:wave: P-Dawg! What up man!!

Glad to hear from ya! Here's to hoping that you make it through a "whole" cruise this time :banana:

The power to hire and fire huh...bet the office will soon fill with pretty girls! Wonder why that is :rotfl2:

Nice Day to All..

ps: Luckey...grew up in San Jose, I am a CA girl (but alas no blonde hair for me) :rotfl:

[tarzanman]

More hints about my job. I just moved to FL from Michigan last summer. Hmm...

Hey Pat! I will see you this weekend I hope. I should be in Virginia at least one day but maybe two. We will work something out for you to come down and chill in Ft. Lauderdale. The nightlife is just starting to spice up again. Warmer nights mean more scantily clad ladies! :smooth:

[DisneyDmbNut]

i feel like a dummy...you are in Insurance??

[pmcougar05]

Sweet tim, i don't think i am doing anything this weekend so sounds like a plan to me! WORK WORK WORK! I swear, does anyone around here know how to do things?? I am starting to get rude with coworkers...haha. Well it is lunchtime just wanted to drop in and say....WHATS UP!!!

p-dawgy!

[BeanoC]

Pdawg!!! Nice to see you back with us, young man! :sunny:
This cruise will be here before you know it! They always seem to come up on you fast, even though 8 months seems like a long time. I'll be watching your sugar intake this time. Don't make me whoop on you! :sad2:


Betsy - Remember when I told you that Tim's company has offices all over the country? Well, some offices are bigger than others. And the one he recently moved from was quite large... ;)


Well my new computer should be here in a few days, so very soon I'll have my home network running full blast. That means that Ronnie and I might be posting at the same time from home. Have mercy! Guess I better install CyberNanny on my kid's computers now, huh?


'Beano' :cool:

[pmcougar05]

It is a cold 38 degrees here today...why can't i be in florida about to cruise again! I swear this year i am gonna find some secret spot to hide in and just stay on the ship. As of right now, heidi will be joining us on the cruise. Then i may be a west coaster afterwords.

Hey there beano, i don't think i had too much sugar on the trip, i had talked to a nurse friend and i explained what happened to her on the ship...she even said i had food poisoning...so it wasn't my fault! Besides, did you try the sugar free desserts?? NASTY! And all i have to do is shoot up a bit more, no biggie.

Got my new pay on this paycheck...woo hoo, slowly working my way up in the company! Although, alot of stuff is going on lately that i may have to get out of soon. But till then i am gonna eat them up on my paychecks.

Well just dropping in for a quick hello.

p-dawgy

[RonnieJo66]

P-Dawg!


You and Heidi cruisin' together :love2: ...something else we should know?? :teeth:

It'll be great to have you two along for the ride!! Be sure to plan on coming to our party...

Hugs,

We have this...Rick will be on the computer downstairs and I will be in the bedroom upstairs on the laptop...fun with naughty instant messages!!
:rotfl2:

[pmcougar05]

Can't wait to see all of you again! I had a blast on the cruise, and it should only get better saying i will actually have someone with me this year rather than looking for someone, although...the ones i did find were pretty darn hot!

Heidi and i have been talking ever since the cruise, unfortunately we haven't been able to get together due to conflicting schedules but we are planning something soon!

Hey, what ever happened to the dvd?? Did beano finish it? I would like to see a copy if i could. I can give you all my new address since i moved again.

p-dawgy

[BeanoC]

Pat, I can send you a DVD if you'd like; just email me your address...

I am SO tired of this wet weather! :cold: Castaway Cay sounds pretty darn good right about now!!

'Baby let's cruise away from here'... :boat:



'Beano' :cool:

[pmcougar05]

What is your email?? Mine is pmcougarman@aol.com, just shoot me an email there and i can send you my address. Thanks man, i made a dvd but since i don't have dvd software at home i just kinda threw something together on a dvd burner, didn't turn out too bad, but i am sure you have alot of things that i missed in those two days.

pdawg

[tinkryansmom]

Hello all! I am having trouble keeping up with you guys! So much to do, so little time....

First of all, to Beano: in the "guess my line" game. Please know I meant no disrespect to you or your profession. When you replied "plant things" ;)
I thought I would be cheeky and just put the two together. I was really thinking landscaping or orchard consultant (again with the ag thing) I hope you were not offended. On a more humorous note, when I relayed this game to my DH over dinner, I mentioned the "plant things" line and his first and really only thought was..to put politely...a plastic surgeon who specializes in breast augmentation. What is up with that! :earseek: Must be guy humor.?

Tim: I would have guessed Citibank also, but if you just moved from Michigan, I am thinking automotive. How about GMAC? :confused3

Betsy: You daughter is adorable. princess: How old is she?

Luckey: I went to Monsters Inc Disney on Ice last night with DD5 We won tickets so it was worth it..but DD not too happy about the scream test at the beginning. Pretty good production though. I am from So Cal. Grew up in Riverside County and went to high school in Fresno County (Sierra HS) college was SDSU and UCSB.

OK- think I am caught up again. PMCougar needs to join the "whats my line" but since y'all have cruised together before, myself, Luckey and Betsy are the only guessers. HHMMM...I cannot wait to meet everyone!

We're on deck 7, cat 11 - kinda hoping for an upgrade since we booked last July but am told, at best to expect cat 9 on deck 2. So heres my question: would you take the upgrade and move down that low? or stay on deck 7 only a few doors from the "private deck" which is why I picked that stateroom.

Johnna - Absolutely no offense taken. You gotta have a sense of humor in this business. :crazy: And believe me - I've heard 'em all !

In my opinion, you're better off in cat. 11 on deck 7 than to move to deck 2.
That 'private' area on deck 7 is great, if you can get it to yourself! Just my opinion.

DW found a great deal on airline tickets, so I think I am gonna go ahead and buy them now. Round trip from LAX for less than $900 for all 4 of us! :banana:

Then all I gotta do is pay for the cruise!

And the resort at WDW.
And the Epcot tickets.
And the Mickey's BBQ tickets.
And the limos.
And the excursions.
And the bar tab.

And our trip to Disneyland in June.

:scared:


Better ask the boss if I can get some overtime. Wait... something's wrong with that idea...


'Beano' :cool:

[Soccermom-Cheri]

Holy cow, guys. I'm gone for a few days trying to work and BAM! the board is nut-so again.

Patrick - hey, dude! Glad you're coming with us. Soon it will be time for a little Redneck banter on the boards, don't you think?

Ronnie Jo, save me a seat near the water and I'll bring the Nutty Buddies (and the Rum Runners and the Bahama Mammas and the cookies).

tarzanman: can you take my kids snorkling this year, too?

And whoever asked for the California girl: :earsgirl: I'm your girl. Born and bred! Mission Viejo (Capistrano Valley High '83 - hey that's makes me one of the older ones - but not as old as Beano :rolleyes1 )

:hourglass is it time yet?

[BeanoC]

Cheri - NOBODY is as old as me ! :sad2:

Me thinks there'll be no excursions on CC this year for me. No banana boat rides, or parasailing, or snorkeling. Been there, done that. Just eatin' at Cookies and drinkin' at Heads Up! :sunny: (Ok, I've done that too, but it's worth repeating!)


We are also repeating our trip to Paradise Point on St. Thomas. The view is breathtaking... and the Bushwhackers aren't bad either, eh Ronnie? :bitelip:


'Beano' :cool:

[RonnieJo66]

Beano, you ain't old..what you talking 'bout :goodvibes

Mmmmmmmm, Bushwhackers! Yes, they are SO good! Knock your socks off, but so yummy!
I already have my coupon ready....can I go now?? :cool1:

You have to be over 18 to drink in the U.S.V.I.........um, yeah I'm old enough :rotfl2:

Cheri: you know where I'll be...sitting in my chair by the waters edge :cloud9:

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower: :mickeybar

[Soccermom-Cheri]

And Paradise Point is...???? Do tell.

[RonnieJo66]

Cheri:

Paradise Point is a tram you take up the side of the mountains to a plateau...over looks all the ships in port etc....BEAUTIFUL!! And as a bonus there are shops, bird shows and a awesome bar! BUSHWHACKERS BABY!!! They are soooooo good! They have a couple of great photo ops as well....we did our Christmas card photo there 2 years back :)

If you want to take a look..http://paradisepointtramway.com/index.html

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower: :mickeybar

[Soccermom-Cheri]

OK, finally got a look at the famous Beano video. Got a few questions fer ya': where exactly was tarzanman when he was wearing a full indian head dress of feathers and no shirt? How could I have missed an event like that? And, who did that lovely singing during the music video portion :rotfl:

I guess the message to everyone else who will be meeting you, dear, is "Beware the Beano when his camera is rolling!"

Ronnie Jo: you looked wonderul, simply smashing!

[RonnieJo66]

:cool1: Thanks Cheri!

.........but to what are you referring :confused3

Tarzanman was in the "Village People" dance...Rockin' Bar D..70's night

as for the singing, all I know is it wasn't me :rotfl2:

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower: :mickeybar



ps....what did you think about Paradise Point???

[Soccermom-Cheri]

Ronnie Jo,

You looked great going down the water slide at the Poly, at Costa Maya, etc. You just looked like you were having fun, smiling, tan, all that.

And that tram thing up the hill ... looks way cool. Could have me a few drinks overlooking everything. It's just right at the end of the pier, right? Or you have to take a taxi. Both St. Thomas and St. Maarten kind of run together in my mind.

BTW, what do Matt and Kimmie do on board? I assume your DD doesn't hang in the Lab since DS is too old. I'm also assuming that Timmy will be "too old" and BTDT by October. I hate to just have him "run wild" with his Key to the World Card and Quarter Masters being the only thing for "tweens" to do.

How's everybody's weekend? What's it like in Vegas, Luckey? We have beautiful blue skies. No, wait, it's raining. :umbrella: NO, wait, it's blue skies again. :sunny: NO, wait, here comes the rain. :umbrella: NO, wait..... Just bring back the darned drought so we know what to expect :crazy:

[RonnieJo66]

Thanks Cheri :love:

Paradise Point is within walking distance via the shopping of course!!! :rotfl:

Matt and Kimmy kinda make up their own fun...we trust em' and they have never let us down, so we go with it! :cool1: This year they can both be in "The Stack"...Kimmy turns 13 and Matt will be 15, so it'll be nice that they can go together if they want to....and that's a big if (ah, sibling rivalry) :rotfl2:

:umbrella: :sunny: :umbrella: :sunny: :umbrella: :sunny: Yeah Cheri, sure would be nice if'n the weather would make up it's mind! :crazy:

Hope everyone has a great weekend... :goodvibes

Hugs,

RonnieJo :flower: :mickeybar

[luckey-lasvegas]

Hi everyone ! Yesterday was rain all day but so far today it's blue skies and puffy white clouds. I hope it is like this on Monday we hope to do a little hiking at Red Rock. DD is out with her friends taking full advantage of her 4 day weekend. Does Tarzanman work for Disney? I know their a serious cause of my personal debt !

[BeanoC]

Hey all...

Luckey - No, Tarzanman does not work for Disney. Although he and I both send major portions of our paychecks to Disney! :goodvibes

Cheri - You and Chris will have to join us for the trip up to Paradise Point. The view is spectacular, and the drinks are even better! And of course, as Ronnie says, you have to go through all the jewelry shops on the way back; an added plus. :guilty:

I'm not too excited about St. Maarten, personally. We've been there twice already, and there ain't nuthin' there I need. Might have to stay on board and take advantage of the relatively empty pools, etc. :sunny:

Ok, Beano is ready to cruise now. Let's go.



'Beano' :cool:

[soccerdad-Chris]

Beano,
Spectacular views, great drinks, good friends....I believe Paradise Point sounds like a good plan. Count us in, buddy!! :moped: :moped:

As for jewelry, two Cat 3 cruises for us this year means that Cheri will likely be hocking jewelry in St. Thomas, not shopping for it. Of course, I'll be sleeping on the couch tonight for that remark.

Re: St. Maarten, I generally agree. The beaches there are nice, and there is the occasional spectacular "view" on them. The problem is, for every spectacular "view", there are 10 that are, uhhhh, well..... let's just say that there are some things should never be seen in public. :rolleyes1 :rolleyes1

BTW, the DVD is cool..very well done. I'm thinking of taking a vid cap of Cheri's nice "gesture" on her entrance to Heads Up and makin' it the wallpaper on my laptop--you know, the one I do client presentations on!!

Chris

[RonnieJo66]

Oh, c'mon Chris! If I had your money, I'd throw mine away! :rotfl2:

And we're doing back to back category 1's, so no talk of hocking jewelry! :sunny:

Thanks for the compliment on the video. You guys will be on camera a lot more this year, most likely. Might have to have an nc-17 rating on the next DVD !



'Beano' :cool:

Oops, posted as Ronnie again. D'oh! :crazy:

[pmcougar05]

Good to hear from everyone! I will have to think of some redneck words when i am feeling better. It was not a good weekend...wait weekend, after holding a trash can and sitting on the terlet, i had a weekend! I don't wish this flu on anyone! Hope everyones weekend was better than mine. Ok, well since the boss is out, i better do some work today. I will not miss this years party even if i have to bring the IV up with me...haha. Talk to yall's later

p-dawgy

[luckey-lasvegas]

p-dawg I hope you are feeling better. Look on the bright side better now then October 28th ! The Californai rain has finally made its way to Vegas and DD has a cold so there goes my hike. I hope most of you are enjoying a three day weekend. I myself will be serving the masses tonight but that's ok cause it's a double time kind of a day !!!! :cool1: God bless the Culinary Union! :love:

Take Care everyone :grouphug:
Luckey

[pmcougar05]

Damn government employees! Gotta love double time! I am trying to put down some chick-fil-a chicken soup.....slowly! Looks like it is only you and I on the boards luckey. I got sick on the last cruise, that wasn't fun either. I missed beano's party because of it. I did make a doctors appointment for tomorrow though. Hey beano, can you hook me up on a good autopsy..;) Maybe a 2 for 1 special, just throw me on top of another corpse...haha. So what is that game you all were playing, who's line or something like that?? Well, back to moping around the office, wonder if anyone would notice if i crawled underneath my desk.

p-dawgy :sad2:
