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

[dvc deernut]

Hmmm ... For just two people, maybe an empty carry-on, plus a little room in another bag?

Might be something like 2 of each of these:
6x8x12" mini suitcases
10x10" shadowboxes or 8x8" globes (not allowed as airplane carry-on)
large thin books
collector pins
maybe something the size of medium stuffed animals (sourcerers hats)

Plus what ever souviners you purchase.
Returning DCL passengers also get one beach bag per cabin half full of goodies for the beach.

Now that's the way to celebrate

I often shop at a very exclusive and famous French store that has a branch here.

Maybe you have heard of it?

Tarjeah. ...

We have another french store here, Jacque C. Penney's

We do have those two here. We also have Walmehr. There is even a web site dedicated to this exclusive shopping establishment for those who may be seeking out the latest fashion trends CLICKY

I too have succumbed to the pressure of posting a photo avitar, so feast your eyes on my lovely wife. I am the other one in the photo

Aaaw, that is sweet Great pic Mike!

I bet THIS will make you guys laugh...

I am the only one in our branch that does our loan closing packages. And corporate only has one closer for the rest of the company. (five branches) Nobody else can even access the closing screens. So I emailed the closer at corporate and one of the "higher ups" at corporate reminding them that I would be out and our branch has 40+ loans in our pipeline. I got an email from the "higher up" telling me ALL of our branches are swamped and proceeded to ask if I could cut my vacation short.



AS IF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I emailed her back and explained that I've had this vacation planned long before we knew our other company was going belly up and we would be bought by this company. And I apologized for taking vacation when we were so busy and reminded her we have no way of predicting when we will be busy or slow in the mortgage industry any more. She replied that she just figured she would ask just in case.

Good thing that was all via e-mail. I don't about you but I could have never contained the laughter at that request over the phone

does everyone that goes on this dvc cruise buy the t-shirt they sell before we went and get onboard? My girlfriend ordered ours for us also.

We ordered ours

We all are, You shoulda got it!

Don't forget that the people who made it to the Chicago DISmeet are all supposed to be wearing the Chicago Disney shirts on the first day of the member cruise








Hey!! Who's the guy without a cruise shirt!

Still better than, "Did you see the Dude wearing the thong on the beach?"

Thanks!! I know I won't win any awards for the most, but it sure is fun winning one once in awhile.

And that thrill never goes away

Question for y'all - I found some name badge insert refills at work today and I was thinking I could print them out and we could put them on our lanyard where we keep our room keys. I was thinking I could do our real names, disboard name and maybe our avatar. What do you think - worth it or not?

For more on my previous beliefs of the where 'Hoosier' comes from Wikipedia elaborates on those and adds a few others.

I would love to have a Friends With Mickey one, but doing them would be a lot of work. Once again the spirit of generosity on this thread is incredible

I am thinking about what kind of bag would work better on a plane for all these gifts. A duffle style bag or a large beach bag style. I know this is gonna bother me. I do know this will be the first thing packed in my suitcase laying flat. So what do you all think? I do know whatever I use will have a zipper. last year coming home from WDW I had an open bag and it fliped over in the above compartment in the plane and I lost my new mickey sunglasses. so I learned my lesson to us e a zipped bag.

And I just happened to think, possibly a little more this year due to the new Dream, 20th anniversary of DCL, and 10th for DVC ... or should that be 20th for DVC and 10th for DCL???

Happy lovely evening Dispeeps! bes
Just wanted to say a quick while I am on break.
I didn't realize how much FE stuff I bought!
I enjoy making party favors anyway, just figuring out how to pack up
The sword to make way for the banana boat and slingshot action.

It is 20 years for DVC, and we have been here for 19 of them

Tenth year for DCL.

Great picture Mike!

Thanks. Now that you know what we look like if we see you heading the other way when you see us at the pre cruise Dis meet, we will know that we must find a new way to get to the port and back

That would be excellent, but how much work do you want to get yourself into? Maybe just those who are on here and ask for one? Then bring blanks and a black Sharpie if others want one.

It's been my experience that you should make the proper first name large and bold. At least they do that a conferences where salesmen want to act like they remember you. Then maybe the Avatar and screen name on one line and smaller, but not less than half the size?

You make it! I'll wear it!!
Can I get a thong version?
