John - I sent you a pm.

We need a pole for Karen! This looks like a poll!

It's BYOP!
Bring
Your
Own
Pole!

 

[Steamboat WillyNilly]

I am sure a thong would be easy to make, but your not getting one! At least not from me (only because I think you might actually wear it)

Pole!

But... Don't we ALL want to see her dancing?

We don't have any Poles around the house. Can I bring a Czechoslovakian?

Suggestions


Bail Money
Dessrts

How many pizzas do you think we'll need??

This is the sign up sheet. Need head count and suggestions of what to have.

One deep dish with everything will work just fine for me,
seriously we probably need to determine that at the party and make a food run

The on board meet is earlier, I see. Are we still in the 687 District? Is this where they do the on board Palo, Remy and dining changes?

I am going to be so disoriented, first time on the Dream. The Wonder/Magic feel like home now, so the new ship will be different for sure.

I keep watching those reports of the pesky hurricanes that are forming as tropical storms first far out there. Hope they all stay away!

Have a good nite all..

Good question Carol. As you saw, right now I have it listed as 2:30 social hour and 3:00 meeting in 687 Lounge (the Muster Drill is at 3:45 or 4:00 depending on which Navigator we go by, April or July).

Any other thoughts? Any experience with DISmeets, especially on the Dream? Anyone read recent Trip Reports that might help? Jennifer suggested 2:00, but I'm still not exactly clear why.

Keep watching this thread, Page 1, Post 10 for the latest changes.

Are you on the FE list?

Time for That 70's post is near

 

[Hoosier John]

If that happens can you strap us to the roof rack of the Lincoln Navigator

Uh ... Well ... the strollers are up there, but I guess we can open them up and put each of you in one, like on Chevy Chase's Vacation.

Great we now have a solid back up plan and way to grab That 70's post

Do they have a pole in the Fitness Center ... No wait, they have one in the Mens Health Spa, don't they?

I think a pole is one of the perks on the Concierge deck

How is everything in the World?

Glad y'all are having a great time

Hi Karen, what have y'all done so far?

Things are great! We started out at Universal's Royal Pacific Resort. Really nice place. Great room, on the top floor. Service was outstanding. Much better than we expected! I was wondering if it was because they may have noted that I was a travel agent from when I made my reservation, but not everyone would have had that info.

Junior, I have some coupons for restaurants and things at Universal, if you text me when you get in, you are welcome to them.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter blew me away. Really well themed and I couldn't stop grinning while walking through the castle. They did an outstanding job!

We did our first day on Labor Day and the park was empty. We did everything we wanted to do between 8 (early entry time) and 10 am. The other things we wanted to see didn't open until 11 or 12. And the guys didn't want to do the water rides so early in the day. So, we left and went back to the hotel and napped. Came back, did the rest of the stuff and went to Margaritaville for dinner. I had a great time at Margaritaville. The Bahama Mama I started with really knocked my socks off and I really enjoyed the place probably more than it really deserved. LOL The live band was really great though!

We slept in the next day and then packed up and had them hold our luggage while we did the other side of Universal. We had a good time, but the heat was getting to me. We did everything we wanted to see and then left for OKW about 4:30pm.

I have to say, I LOVE OKW!!! This is our first time here. We got the room location I asked for and I sat out on our balcony and watched the Illuminations fireworks. It was awesome and completely unexpected!!

We did Epcot today. Got there for rope drop and there may have been 50 people there ... maybe. It was dead! No crowds, only line we saw was for Soarin' and there was only a 20 minute wait at 3pm and Fast Passes were only about a half hour out. The CM who checked us in for lunch at Le Cellier said it was supposed to be one of the slowest, if not The slowest day of the year! Had the fabulous Mushroom Filet for lunch. YUM!!

Dinner, unfortunately, wasn't great. The guys ordered their burgers from T-Rex medium and they were pretty rare. Like not cooked in the middle at all. Had to send Stitch's back to be redone and then it came back without the lettuce, tomato and pickles on it. Our server was quite nice though. Made sure she got a good tip. Kitchen issues aren't her fault. The nachos were good though.

I'm enjoying some quiet time now while Jason and Stitch are out at the gym and the pool. Grumpy is off in their bedroom listening to his music, as he's been doing for days. Walks around the parks listening to his iPod. He's so strange.

Tomorrow is DHS rope drop!

They probably winter near Corpus Christi, many "snowbirds" flock there every winter and we Texans welcome them.
