09/18/11 - DVCers Take Over the Dream (S.S. Member Cruise 2011) - Thread #13

[friends with mickey]

The Dream has set sail!! one cruise closer to our cruise is in session!

The SSMC is the 5th cruise in September and the lucky B2B'ers will be on September cruise #4. Since cruise #1 is underway we are really getting close now

I just saw someone go by on the aquaduck! Can't wait till that's me.

AWESOMESAUCE!

I can't wait to ride it either!

 

[Steamboat WillyNilly]

That's what, maybe 12, Konk Koolers?

 

[Hoosier John]

Attendees. Anne, Ron, "G" (10), Owen (7), Julianne (4).
Stateroom #8130
We area driving down and won't be in until the middle of the night Saturday/Sunday night but will be staying in Cape Canaveral for the post cruise time.
I can't find which seating we are at.

What other information would be useful?

We're leaving southern IN Friday and will probably stay overnight on the way. So if you see a really full (4 adults + 2 kids) black Lincoln Navigator with Indiana plates broke down on the side of the road, be sure to give a friendly wave.

Now that we have SO many Elizabeth Swans and Pirates there is a danger of them all toppling over! Can't have that, so we now have a "bookends" contest. ​

Earn a bookend for every pair of posts ending in 98 and 01​

Note: final winner of and winner of will be exempt from "bookends" contest, so everyone's still got a shot here!​

If anyone out there plays Fantasy Football , good luck in your drafts. Ours is tonight. I have been in the same league for 25 years with the same guys. My son was a baby when we first started, now he is a team owner and I get three chances a season to beat him. It always makes the NFL season a bit more fun

I'm in one this season for the very first time. Our draft is next Tuesday. We'll see how it goes!

I logged into this website 6 years ago and feel bad that I haven't posted but a few times. I'm sitting here at work and eager for the Member Cruise. We have been banking points to do the cruise this year. I am so excited that I wanted to know what to expect. So, I came back and found you all. I just want to say Hi, and as soon as I can remember my reservation number I'll submit all our information for the cruise. This is our first Disney Cruise. I couldn't figure out how to change my signature. It wasn't pasting anything.

Hi Anne and to the thread! Happy to have you aboard! Please feel free to ask any questions, everyone on here is super friendly and happy to help. We DVC Member cruisers tend to be a chatty bunch but all questions do get answered, just not necessarily on the same page that the question was posted Please feel free to dive right in to the insanity if you're on the cruise and you are on this thread then you are already family as far as this bunch is concerned

You will enjoy it and now we have something else to help each other with

I may need your smart phone help while we are on the cruise and at WDW, that will be two weeks of the season to keep up with our teams

"Football" "Draft" "Season" "NFL" Oh right, I remember this from last year, it's that foreign language ... sports. Really, it's that time of year again?

Yeppers, you thought we guys were crazy before, the NFL season really gets us revved up. At least you have your books

I wish you a great big, hearty

Glad to have you aboard!

I think I speak for most of us when I say that we are a rather subdued, quiet, and retiring bunch... Oh. Wait. No, no, no... That isn't us at all! We are a friendly and helpful bunch. The vast majority of us didn't know anybody else until about last October or so, and we have learned a LOT about each other since then! Sue (clayfolks) who is my wife and I met Hoosier John and his wife and youngest daughter in London last spring, and we have had a couple of Chicago dismeets, (1 of which Wally and Terrie (W@LL-E and calypso726) came up to Chicago to attend!) and both Sue and I are very much looking forward to meeting the rest of the people we haven't yet met IRL.

I want to know what to expect too! I don't know if I have a very good idea other than that there will be a lot of fun and friendly dispeeps with whom we will enjoy the cruise! I know that there are a lot of group activities planned before, during, and after the cruise. The first page of this thread (Thread 13 for those keeping track at home) will have the latest schedule of events for all that. Other than that, I have gathered that there are a lot of special surprises, guests, and incentives available on the SSMC. This is our first Disney Cruise, our first Member Cruise, and our first cruise together, as well as my first cruise as a passenger on something other than a USN vessel. I am looking forward to meeting you! Post away, and you don't need to worry about anything. Somebody can answer your questions, about almost anything you can imagine asking a question about. This group seriously rocks!

"ATTENTION! ATTENTION PLEASE!

NOW PITCHING NUMBER 13."

(Finally in from the bullpen! )

It's only the beginning!

Good Luck Mine is Tuesday! Do you guys do Auction Style or Snake?

Are you saying that I talk a lot? Or are you just saying that I'm a dweeb?

Yeah, I guess I went a (ahem) bit overboard in welcoming Anne!

(Did somebody say that we don't talk about nautical things like cruising on this thread yet?)
