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

[susieq55]

You know the worst part is that because of this darn and competition I almost overflowed the bathtub. It was inches from the top.



I told DD to get in very slowly. She loved it.

Okay, I need to get a handle on this problem now and get my priorities straight.

Oh Lisa - you mean this ISN'T a priority! I know what you mean, I was almost late for picking DS up from soccer practice because it was close to the and ! Silly us!

Those are really cute Sue. I don't remember them from SSMC09. Really cute idea.

I've had an idea for this cruise for quite a while now but it would be a pretty big undertaking (at least for me it would) so I would need to get started soon...at least with the planning. Need to see if it is managable though.

You had beautiful FE gifts last time. I can't wait to see what you are thinking about for this one!

Have a great day everyone!!

It's time for me to get off of here and get ready for a conference call with our SAS 70 auditors this morning. Wish me luck that I can wrap things up on this call and I will be done with this review.

And then only 3 months until I start preparing for the next one. Ugh!

Thanks for sharing. These are great! I think Ian should make these for the fish extenders for everyone!! Maybe ?!?

Yes! They would all be Dudley's offspring. Either that or we could have a Dudley contest where we all make our own inspired Dudleyesqe companion. I'm naming mine either Studley or Marvin

I'm having a problem uploading my photos - it's been awhile since I did it and now can't remember how!

Where are you trying to upload to? Photobucket?

With Photobucket (and virtually all of them) click upload and then navigate to your photo(s). To make it easy for yourself make a folder on your computer in the documents directory that is named DIS uploads and put whatever you want to upload in there. When you go to photobucket and click Upload Images and Videos your documents folder will open and you should be able to see your newly created DIS Uploads folder. You can upload whatever you need to from there just hold down the CTRL key while selecting your pics if you want to add more.

Once your pics are in photobucket you can resize them smaller if you need to and just copy and paste the links. At the top of the reply window (in DISboards) you will see a little square yellow icon that looks like it has a mountain on it, click that and paste your photobucket link that you copied. ***This is important*** When you click that icon it already has the http// there for you, photobucket also includes that little http// so you will have to backspace one of them out in order for you link to work.

Hope this helps You probably knew most of it already but figured I'd jump in and try to help.

I'm going to go work on my sig today

eileen i noticed you were in st croix, we were there last feb. I will post a photo. We took van to other side of island had drinks at a bar on the water. There is a huge oil refinery there

REMEMBER THIS PLACE IN ST CROIX?

 

[iamdaisyduck]

I don't remember that, but it looks like it was a lot of fun!! I actually don't remember much about St. Croix at all...now I have to go look at my pictures to see what we did lol. At first I thought it was Paradise Point but that was at St. Thomas...that was a lot of fun (and terrifying to take that sky ride).

That photo was taken on the other side of the island. We like finding someone to drive us somewhere and or we walk around the non tourist areas where ever we go.

My wife and I also got married at Disney World, though back when we could afford a Disney Wedding on 01/01/01. I thought it would be perfect, because I could always remember the date and easily calculate how many years of wedded bliss. Slightly wrong on both counts.
Picture this. New Year's rolls around, often we're at Disney. A half hour before midnight, I must have the family stationed to watch the fireworks, then dash off to stand in line for champagne for two and drinks for the kids. Rush back trying not to spill too much, hopefully in time for the countdown to ring in the new year. "..3-2-1-Happy New Year" and kiss my lovely bride while the kids are blowing horns, etc. But Wait! Almost forgot, "Happy Anniversery." It is too easy to forget with all the hoopla. I forgot the very first year, but have done better most years since.
Also the problem with, "How long have you been married?". My thought was simply take the last two digits of the current year. For example 2010, would be 10 years. But, in reality its been only 9 years, so I must always remember to subtract 1. Shouldn't be too hard for an engineer, but on the rare occasion I am asked, I still have to think about it before answering.
Congratulations on the Disney Wedding. Was it at the wedding pavilion? Did you spring for Cinderella's carriage? Ours was no-frills as far as Disney goes, so nothing extra special.

We got married at the Wedding Pavilion as well we didn't get the carriage because we were only going about 20 feet to the Grand for the reception. So we would only be in it for like 10 seconds. But it was an awesome wedding Mick and Minnie come to to Cut the Cake with us.

I believe there were approximately 70 people participating in the last fish extenders on the 2010 cruise. (we gave gifts for the amount of people in each room) More came in after the July deadline but we only brought enough for the amount of people signed up by the dateline. I think this years numbers will be higher especially if the crazy Canadian keeps bringing his hideaway passengers.

How do we sign up for the Fish Extenders? We want to participate.

We really should do that too but we never know what we are doing so we wind up going near the ship and not venturing too much into the island. Next time we go we are going to have to be a little more adventurous.

The picture of that bar is great!

Wow, that's not many at all, I would have thought there would be a lot more!

we had a fun group, laura and i have done 4 member cruises and 3 other disney cruises. This was first time doing fes. I never knew what an fe was until the 2010 cruise. I guess every cruise the total varies.

 

[Mantle1509]

I had the list broken down last year between forward, aft, and midship. It made it quite easy to go through the whole ship and not walk a million miles while doing it!


That's is a great Idea! When do we sign up? What are good gifts to give?
