09/18/11 - DVCers Take Over the Dream (S.S. Member Cruise 2011) - Thread #4

[Carmouse10]

I really hope the delay is due to extra ceremony and working bugs out, rather than normal for the larger passenger load, because I don't want to get up at 4am to start debarkation

Maybe it is because there is a 70 foot tall bird sitting on the Starboard side...

The bird looks like a hawk (or some bird of prey). I say Disney posted it there for the "viewers at home", and will turn into _________ when the Dream casts off. Need some help with Disney movies, I never really saw many. Are there any birds of prey in them, and what would they do at their climax point in the movie?

Maybe that explains the listing of the ship that Debbie saw?

And who's balcony is it on ... I wouldn't want to clean up the crap from a bird that size!

Someone in another thread said it was an osprey.

GOOD AFTERNOON FROM GREAT WHITE NORTH. DID I MENTION NO SNOW HERE YET. WE HAVE ONLY HAD A DUSTING A COUPLE TIMES SINCE WINTER STARTED. HAVENT HAD MY SHOVEL OUT OF GARAGE YET
SUE, WE ARE GOING BACK TO OKW FEB 20th FOR 4 DAYS CAN YOU NARROW DOWN WHERE YOUR PHOTO IS. IN DEC I SPENT AN HOUR LOOKING. I WANTED TO TAKE PHOTO OF IT AND POST IT HERE.

BY THE WAY WE ARE IN NATIONAL MOURNING UP HERE IN CANADA. OUR JUNIOR HOCKEY TEAM LOST TO THE RUSSIANS NOW I CANT SAY CANADA RULES HOCKEY UNTIL NEXT YEAR. WELL I CAN AT LEAST SAY WE RULE HOCKEY OVER THE USA!!!!!

Canada beat the USA - Correct, Russia beat Canada - Correct, USA threw Russia off their plane for being drunk in Buffalo and made them wait a day before releasing them - Absolutely Correct!

 

[Hoosier John]

Gonna have to go covert for a while. Lara is on her way home, and my honeydew list is a mile long and growing.

PS As I sit here openly enjoying a White Russian, I can't help but think, isn't that one of the signs of an addiction ... hiding it from friends and family?

I caught part of that news story yesterday from the kitchen, but didn't hear all of it. They explained that Russians have no drinking age, and that they were under 21. That explains "the rest of the story" for me.

Unless the rules have changed, pilots are not allowed to let anyone who is already intoxicated onboard, but it appears ok to get drunk in-flight (as long as a critical/emergency situation isn't caused by the passenger(s)).

Today's sailing of the Dream is for Disney Cast Members and family. Reportedly the ship will only be 50 to 60% full.

I guess being right there in Orlando, you get the inside scoop on everything Disney. Thanks Michael

I can shelve my concerns about being forced to get up at 4am on debarkation day for a while.

She's on the move!

Has anyone else tried connecting the the Radisson's webcam? I have Java on my computer but it just keeps thinking and thinking and thinking and it won't connect.

Ian, if it is that early, I would just finish my last drink after I close down the bar, and head straight for breakfast.

PS And to be polite, we should allow those who have farther to travel (say those who live north of the states) to be allowed to disembark first.

PPS Making mental note of Ian's Cabin Number, in case he pulls this off.
