Hello all! I have a silly, but hopeful question. I was over on the DCL site and noticed the online check in service they now offer. I thought it was cool, but wouldn't it decrease your chances of an upgrade? I am still planning on checking in at the port to see if I can buy an upgrade if I don't get a pixie dust upgrade. Just curious what you all thought.
 
Look what they said at Passporters...
"The Flying Dutchman, nautical star of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest has dropped anchor at Castaway Cay, the Disney Cruise Line's private island. Guests renting a boat during their stop at Castaway Cay can get a closer look at the Flying Dutchman, a 175-foot ghost ship. Keep an eye out for Captain Jack Sparrow on Castaway Cay as well! The pirate is said to have been spotted lurking around the island and while hard to catch, is happy to chat and sign autographs once he has been found."

wouldn't that be kewl to see Jack Sparrow and get an autograph? pirate:

Amanda01 - I thought the same thing... I'll wait until the day before we fly out and do the online check in. I have heard it's not much faster than filling out the forms in the terminal. And you have to check in anyways....
 
Hee hee hee...just noticed the Oregon fair logo with the peach! WldWcnWmn...didnt you say no canned jams! From what youve told me about the fair, and some of the pictures I saw, that peach is starting to resemble a certain body part :lmao:

Aaahhh...anyone else feeling like the days are dragging along till our cruise?
 
Peach looks like a B**t...I swear, I thought the same thing yesterday?!?!? :rotfl:
Mekayla saw a Georgia quarter and said, "Mom, it's a Country Fair quarter!" :rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl: (There's a peach on that quarter, seashells) not testing your intelligence, but I know you're in Canada...
Anyway, I laughed out loud! Anything around here with peaches is probably "Fair related" the OCF newspaper is called the "Peach Pit"...

It's really quite over here...ya'll must be working on mad (crazy wicked mad) door signs.... :artist:
 

Hello all. Well I have been door sign busy. I realized that some of my signs don't have my name on them and I want to make it harder for someone to steal them. So I am tweeking mine a bit. I am also making a new one for Pirate night. But I having so much trouble. I don't get it, last time I just made them all in a matter of hours, now I am having a hard time finishing one. The way I am acting, it's like it's a school project. :teeth:

Wow, looks like a lot of DISers for David & Ivan... it might be an all DIS event! :banana: :thumbsup2
 
I haven't been here for a while, and this thread has really grown! We have had so many vacations planned for this summer (I know, poor me!) that I really haven't had time to concentrate on the cruise coming up. But I'm now starting to get that familiar feeling, that longing to walk through those Mickey ears to the best vacation on earth!

DH and I are just starting to plan excursions. I think we are going to try for David and Ivan's tour in Costa Maya, if they are not all booked up. And in Coz we will do the beach break. And one of the CC days we want to try the Stingrays. We are thinking we would try for Palo on Semi-Formal night. We are in a Cat 3 so I am hoping concierge is going to help us out with that!

Do they have the staggered dining times on the Magic? If so, does anyone know for sure what rotation gets you the latest "early" seating? We were on the Wonder back in March and had the 5:30 seating, and HATED IT! But with an 8 year old, I'm not sure we can do late seating.

EDIT: Oops, nevermind my ?'s on the dining times. I just read the double dip navigators and have figured out that LAP gives you the 6:00pm seating. That's what we are going to try for. If we don't get that, we will try for the earliest "late" seating.
 
Hi Judy :wave:

Favorite Disney Pricess Amanda - Have fun at your Madonna concert tomorrow! :Pinkbounc

Amanda01 - Hey girlfriend...where ya' been? I could use some door sign inspiration... mine suck...

Seashells - we're going to the Stingrays at 11:00am on Sunday...if for some utmost bizzare reason we don't meet before Sunday Morning (It'll never happen) look for us 'cause we'll be coming as you're going!

And look what my new friend "J" gave me! It's me and Cindy at the Stem to Stern seminar

And this one is us at the beer master's seminar

:rotfl: :rotfl2: :lmao: She's gonna' poke me in the brain when she sees this :rotfl: :lmao:
 
Alright Thea here's what I have. The second one that has everyones name on it is actually a full page but the page keeps getting cut off in the download. And I still can't think of what to do for a Pirate sign. Hope this helps. :wave:

PS- If I forgot anyones name on the second one, if you can read it please let me know and I will add it.

All Hail the Graphics Guru Amanda :worship:

Wow...back to the drawing board for me :badpc: .... I especially like the "You are Here" one. I don't know where (GTY) my cabin is...but I want a "You are Here" Doorsign.
Amanda, You Rock, Babe'! I am not "Graphically" inclined...I have no skills there...even this children's program I bought is causing some extra beer runs in the house....(spend an hour on a picture...mess it up...go get a beer...spend another hour....go get another beer) maybe it's the beer? Ya' Think? :drinking1

I was gonna' tell ya'll what I am doing today...but I gotta' go or I'll be late, so I'll tell ya' later what I did today.... Have a GREAT SATURDAY everyone! :wave:

Mekayla and I are watching (well, it's on the TV, I'm typing) Hercules the movie on Toon Disney, and I just told her Herc the Musical is not on The Magic anymore
My Baby is Seriously Bummed...we still do the "show hands" that Pain and Panic did on the show...I knew she "liked" the show...I didn't know she was looking forward to seeing Herc again...I asked her if she wanted to do a 4 day instead of the Double Dip (Herc is still showing on The Wonder) and she said, "Nope, I am Good" real fast.

Hey trust me when I say it's super easy to make these signs with the power of the internet. I just thank god for the power of Google. I searched out pictures. I do have a cheap Disney program that I bought years ago that cost all of $10 that has lots of little silly clip art, but you can find all that online now a days. If you need any help finding anything here is a great thread that helped me tons!

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=838817

There are links to pictures, fonts and some great ideas!
 
I was going to post what we did today (and I will, later...much later) but it was for the purpose of sharing with you how to make a little $$$ for the cruise.....
It seems like not a lot of people are posting here lately, I was hoping our thread would grow like the Blabbermouths...but it's not to be....
So...after I logged off, DD and I got dressed and commenced to start our day. I have a wooden fenced in carport and a Kia Sportage...this is going somewhere!
So, I open the wooden gate and start the car like I am going to back up the 10 or so feet it takes to clear the gate and shut the fence (gate) door when I ask DD if she'd get me something out of the front seat Yeah, you know where this is going...
DD hits the engage and puts the car in reverse and she would have been fine as it's a straight shot out the carport, except the driver door was open and it caught the 4x4 post that holds the fence posts and it literally bends the driver door back to the front fender. (I am yelling at Mekayla to "hit the brake" "hit the brake" she hit the gas :guilty: ) So my daughter clears the gate and jumps out of the car (door's wide open) and the car continues to roll across the street and ends up over the curb into the park across the street. Thank the Gods and Goddesses that no one was in the street or in the park (we live in a quiet neighborhood) the neighbors were sititng on their front porch watching me run after the car to stop it from rolling on its own. It was going all of one mile an hour...but it wasn't stopping... All in all, Mekayla walked away with a scratch on her left arm in two places (like falling off a scooter, no blood just a little scraped up) I walked away with what I think is a broken bone in one of my metacarpals (I grabbed for Mekayla between the car door and the fence) they both won over my hand and a broken fence that we spent the remainder of the day repairing...neighbors were not happy...a car that looks really bad with the driver door that WILL NOT SHUT and a rental car at the bargain price of $225.00 a week. I think I have traumatized DD for life she will not ask to be driving at 15! My son is 15 and he did a 3 hour road trip with me about 2 months ago and he's helping me drive to Crater Lake next weekend...the question is will it be in a rental or the Kia?!?! I don't want you guys going and calling Child Services...I already beat myself up today...and someone smarter than me was watching over us cause it could have been really bad, but we're o.k. After about two hours DD said, "Thanks Mom for not yelling and freaking out" I told her there's no point in freaking, it's just gonna' cost us $$$ I wanted to spend on the ship; and we both walked away fairly unharmed with a good story that will be funny in about five years.
So instead of making the extra money we were setting out to do...the day ended up costing me $$$. But I called my boss and told her what happened (I'll be late to work Monday finding someone to fix the Kia) and she said, "let me put it in perspective for you...one of your co-worker's sister died last night in a car wreck, so she won't be coming in Monday either." Yup, that did it for me. She said "kiss Mekayla for me and we'll see ya' whenever on Monday." My boss and I are close, we're both single parents with daughters...so we have a common bond. Prayers for Co-Worker's family and a big huge "Thank You" to whoever or whatever was watching over us today. :grouphug:

So, how'd everybody else's Saturday go? popcorn::
 
Thea, Im glad to hear you both are okay!!! I can imagine how traumatized Mekayla must be. It also nice to know you are handling this so well, cause I know I would still be in a knot over it for a few weeks!!!

Yes Im sure we will meet up before the stingrays....me being a brown midget and you with your broomstick, how could we not :teeth: !!!!

amanda01 very nice door signs!!!! I soooo want to make one but I lack the skills to be creative on the computer...im still stuck in the 80's, give me scissors, a ruler and glue and Im good to go..pathetic..i know :blush:
 
Thea I am so glad you guys are ok. Life is way too short to sweat the small stuff. There is pleanty to do on the ship that doesn't cost lots of $$$.

Amanda, those are great signs. I am not very good at this computer stuff. If it's not excel I can't do it.

We sepnt the day at the beach. It was wonderful. We went to the resort where my son works. Sat in chairs like real tourists. The kids jet ski'd and kyacked. Since my son works there it didn't cost them anything. I just floated in the gulf. It actuallly flet like a day of vacation. Too bad when it was over ther is still laundry, grocery shopping and housework to be done.

Have a good Sunday.
 
Thea, I am so glad that you guys are alright. I hate that this happened to your daughter. It's really a very common thing though. My cousin works for an insurance company, and she tells us stories like this all the time. If you have full coverage insurance, they will pay for the damage. My brother did this exact same thing with his first car in high school, except it was the passenger side door that my other brother left open. They weren't as lucky as your daughter though, because believe me, my parents freaked out, yelled and made them pay for the damages by cutting grass for neighbors, family and friends.
 
Oh Thea I am so sorry to hear about the car. I'm just happy to hear that you and Mekayla were not hurt. At least you know that someday you will tell this story and laugh about it. Probably not today, :blush: but someday. I hope you have a great time at Crater, I love it there.

Thanks everyone for the kudos on my signs. :blush:
 
:thanks: Thanks guys for the support. I knew I could tell you and not get beaten up for being so stupid. I will never leave the ignition on and not be in the car, again. :sad2: I called the one reair shop in town that was open at 1:00pm on a Saturday and the mechanic who answered the phone said, "believe it or not, it happens all the time" I felt a little better until he told me that he was getting ready to walk out the door and wouldn't be able to even look at the car until Monday. I am trying to figure out what to do today for fun. I told Mekayla yesterday that I would take her to the coast so we could go to the ocean and get cleansed, grounded and veg. But I am not up for the hour (up and back) drive. Plus even in the hottest summer weather the ocean is freakin' cold. :cold: So we'll probably end up at the community pool. I know going on about finding fun seems strange, but Iam the kind of person that could end up in bed until tommorrow morning over this. I am trying to keep things light for Mekayla. I have insurance but with a $500.00 deductable and I do not have renter's insurance for the rental car, so this is kinda' spendy for me. But we're o.k. and the money will come. My hand looks better, it's a little blue but I think I'll forego the doctor....Mekayla says she's "fine" she said she was sorry again today...I really feel bad that she feels bad about this. Oh well...I am done taking up fun cruise time on this thread...thanks for the support! :disrocks:
