<clipped> Do we have a meet planned on embarkation day? Would love to meet everyone on board..

I _think_ someone is going to work on this. John, maybe?

Thanks Kanen, I think you're right that I volunteered for the onboard meet. From what I've been reading the 3:00 meeting won't work. Here is what I have kinda gathered so far (no guarantees on accuracy though):

Noonish First groups allowed to board
12:30-3:00 pm AquaDuck is Open.
1:00-3:30 pm Palo & Remy Bookings and Dining Assignment changes
1:30 pm Allowed access to room for first time
1:45 pm ? Possible New DisBoard Meet and Greet time?
2:45-3:30 pm Adventures Away! Sail Away Celebration, 45 minutes.
3:00 pm? Old DisBoard Meet and Greet
3:45 pm Mandatory muster drill for all passengers (except for those who just sailed B2B?).
3:45 pm All Aboard.
4:30-5:15 pm Adventures Away! Sail Away Celebration, 45 min

If I have the above times close, then a meeting on the Lido deck ready to watch the Adventures Away! Sail Away Celebration might be a good idea. Then we would have good positioning to watch the show.

Has anyone else seen this conflict, or have any suggetions?

 

[Hoosier John]

AWESOME! I am glad he finally committed to a hotel. Hopefully he is not always this indecisive otherwise you must have drugged him to get him to marry you...

Well it did take her a number of years to convince me.

Now that John has finally gotten his act together, here is another update for your reading pleasure.

AFTER
BLT
Hoosier John, Laradenise, Laran, Caydennsmommy, Cody, Caydenn 9/22-25

Looks good Andy (although a little harsh )
Thanks, I told Lara you would see it without quoting your previous version. :

Edit: I saved the wrong stay. The before stay looks good too.

Happy Birthday Kyle!!!

(Mom, he'll be starting Drivers Education after the next birthday)

John, I could be wrong (it's happened before, it'll happen again!) but I think there is only one sail away party now. Maybe Kelly could clarify that since she was just on the ship a couple weeks ago. Or Shawn & Milford or Terrie & Wally since they'll be on the ship in less than a month.

 

[M & N Potter]

Happy Monday Everyone, hope everyone had a good weekend and their sports teams did well

Mine did well ... McLaren takes the win with Lewis in China.

I'm from the other side of the state, but Muncie is home to Ball State where David Letterman went to college. It is named after the Ball canning jar company which was lured here from out east when 'free' natural gas was discovered. I don't know what might remain of the Ball canning company, but it evolved into Ball Aerospace (satellites), which is located somewhere else, I assume.

Topographically, I think that part of the state is the highest in Indiana, but that's probably still less than 1000'. It's near twin city, Anderson, supplied quite a bit of General Motors with Delphi Electronics (and possibly others components). This might be how Ball got into aerospace because one of the satellite radio companies was originally Delphi (then sold to whichever it is now: Sirius or XM?).

Unless he is interested in something above, I honestly can't think of anything to do/see there.

Isn't Auburn close to Anderson? I think that there is the Auburn, Cord, Duesnberg Musem there ...

Happy Birthday, Kyle!!

Glad your mom is doing better, too!!

Thanks and thanks!

Happy Birthday Kyle!!!

Thanks! I don't know about the driving thing. His older brother still hasn't gotten his license. He'll be 17 in 7 months.

I read that too. I also read they are only doing two shows a night as well. It's been interesting watching things shake out and change through trip reports.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KYLE!!!! ​

What I find interesting is one TR mentions all their horrible experiences and how horribly designed the ship is, and then another TR mentions how awesome their vacation was and the ship is beautifully designed. That's why I always read the TR's with an open mind...there are just too many people with too many different expectations, perspectives, and standards.

I know, right?

Well I justbooked our SEPT flights. I had to twist my arm and added 2 extra days before the cruise. The flight on Jet Blue was cheaper on Thur. So we are booked in at OKW Thur FRI and SAT. We arrive in Orlando before 10am. HMMMMM an extra 2 days at DISNEY. Went to book MNSSHP but they told me the schedule wasnt out yet.

I mean Must....start....diet!!!!!!!!!

After reading some TR's that pretty much all say the terminal gets super crowded...I think we are going to wait until around noon - 1:00 to get there. That way we will just pull right up, check our stuff and walk onto the ship. But then again, I'm indecisive so I might change my mind.

 

[Truffle]

Hello. Sorry about the delay in posting. I have been busy catching up on stuff since we got back here, like work, birthdays, and necessary home projects that have been put off for far too long. See you all soon.

Hi Ian! Isn't it funny how us DISers know what's going on at WDW before the CM's do sometimes? How dare they try to tell you the schedule wasn't out yet! DUH...haven't they seen the POSTED SEPTEMBER HOURS yet? Did you watch the hockey game last night? Did you see the presentation they did for the injured vet from NW Indiana? He's from the city right next to us. I know a couple people that know him and from what I've been told he is just a true inspiration. When he was first in the hospital he received a care package that included socks. (he lost both of his legs in Afghanistan). Well, I guess he laughed about it. I think most people would have probably had a total breakdown at that point. So, all I have to say about him is WOW!

P.S. I didn't watch the game, I just watched that part to see him

 

[dvc deernut]

HI DEBBIE, NO I WAS BOWLING, DIDNT SEE THE GAME. PLUS I hAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL, MY DAD HAS PNEMONIA. HE IS 93.
