Oh, man... The hardship! The suffering! You poor, poor guy! That is truly a sacrifice on your part. I'm so very sorry for you.

It's tough duty, but somebody has got to do it

 

[Hoosier John]

John, this looks awesomesauce!! Nice job!! Thanks for doing this. Can't wait to see your "mini navigator"!!

Thanks Kelly!

I'm just waiting to establish time and/or locations for the DISmeet, Pirate Photo, Basketball game, and Room Tour.

I hope our food on the ship is as good as that sounds!

This was practice eating for the cruise, We are getting stoked for our sailing

 

[Hoosier John]

Hello all,
Just back from our dining out to benefit the Houston Bank. Yes had to endure crab cakes, romain salad, a delicious Filet with blue cheese risooto topped of with Creme Brulee. All in the name of charity

Wow, that sounds delish! Especially for someone in the eastern time zone who hasn't eaten yet.

It was really good, and I mean really good

Hey Mike,

Did you ever hear anything about the "officially sanctioned" Parrot Head party. I'm guessing that your contact would have been presenting it to the board right about the time the Jim Lewis et al firing was climaxing.

It so sucks to have to eat charity meals.

No I have not and I have not pushed it because of the DVC turmoil. I plan on calling tomorrow to see what I can find out. Stay tuned

How was dinner with Pops? Where'd you go?

Indeed, it hurts so good

 

[M & N Potter]

Still haven't managed to locate that oh, so very necessary sarcasm font!

When you do, could you please share it with the rest of us?

Thanking you in advance!

I have a back up plan to present to him as well. I f they can't do a Parrot head gathering, I am going to suggest a Pirate Head gathering to tie in with talk like a Pirate day. Gonna keep trying to see what happens

 

[calypso726]

This party is going to be AWESOMESAUCE!!!
I think we will actually be meeting some of the elusive plain clothesed Disney security!

Disney plain clothes security I can deal with. As long as security from the Embassy in Chicago doesn't show up I think we're good

Not only were we not invited, we have been directed not to "crash" the ceremony or risk being brought up on charges...

That is such bull spit Gee ... I hope nothing catches on fire during the cermony

I suppose I could be talked into doing some testing for you.

Excellent!

Cool, and good luck. Initially you were just thinking about playing mp3's on your own, weren't you? I guess that is Plan "C"

That plan was to get the music from the bar on the island to be Buffett music with two for one tropical drinks specials, and yes I will talk to the cruise director on day one to see how to make that happen. I am a stubborn son of a gun.

Here is another actual cruise related question - - -

Should we bring beach towels for Castaway Cay or do they provide them?

They provide them. We picked ours up right after leaving the ship. They had tables of them set up. You drop them off before reboarding.
