09/18/11 - DVCers Take Over the Dream (S.S. Member Cruise 2011) - Thread #12

[Hoosier John]

Hey Milford,

What if you let me know when Thread 13 is up, and I will make the second post of What's Goin' On? We still have several times and locations to nail down. That way I can edit them. Alternatively, if you prefer we can do it as previously and I can send you the changes. Either way works for me.

 

[DizDragonfly]

Okay, thanks Terri. I thought that was kinda odd when I read it, because I didn't think you were on that boat. Re-thinking it, I think the boat position for Illuminations will be better than for Wishes anyway. I'm sure we can find 4 more people to fill it, even if it's just talking to people on the cruise.

There's also the Facebook group you could post the availability on.

 

[DizDragonfly]

Good evening everyone!!

Congrats!!

Yes, I know. I try to avoid facebook, but maybe I'll get over there before too long. Thanks

Thank you very much to those above who work extra to make our cruise experience more enjoyable!!!
Please let me know if I should add/subtract your name or other details. Thanks, John

I would suggest that you use another color, like Blue, for the older changes. Makes it easier to discern. Maybe not as pretty, but more functional, I think.

WE INTERRUPT THIS THREAD FOR A BREAKING CRUISE QUESTION ... WARNING! AN ACTUAL CRUISE QUESTION FOLLOWS!

Do we need to bring bug repellent on the ship? Are there mosquitoes at sea?



THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS BREAKING CRUISE QUESTION. WE NOW RETURN YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED THREAD POSTINGS!

I haven't heard of any need for bug spray, but I have heard about sea lice issues at Castaway Cay.

 

[DizDragonfly]

What makes you think I'm lurking? Because Sue is on? I've been watching TV!

Can I nail anudder?!

Congrats!

 

[DizDragonfly]

Congrats!

 

[DizDragonfly]

Karen, Kelly, and Terri are often well hidden when they lurk!

Crouching posters, hidden lurkers?

 

[DizDragonfly]

Can't wait to see them. I know everyone has been putting so much time and talent into making their FE presents.

Yes, I agree. I never thought even the 'dark orange' was very readable. Thanks Dan
