Sounds like a really fun party! Your goodie bags sound cute and I like the idea of taking everyones picture in front of the Ducky drawing.

 

[krdisneybound]

I will post some pics shortly. Getting my e-bay items shipped and waiting on TV guy to tell me whether I need a new big screen TV.

THAT IS A BIG "UGH".........................

back later

Okay, I'll post real fast about the party, and then Kay you can post whatever pics you want since I'm at work and don't have them with me. The party turned out great. We had 25 people and 1 call in from our friends Scott and Lynn.

We played Disney Trivia and I told about Ducky and then everyone drew a Mickey and we had prizes. The kids colored pictures and then we ended up giving them all the goofy pirate bandanas that DCL sent in the box. I have a poster that Ducky did for the 35th anniversary of WDW and it has 35 hidden Mickeys, so everyone looked and if they found the 35 they put their names in for another drawing.

Then we ate food, then ate more food, and I had wonderful chocolate covered strawberries that were really good. Except I never had one because they were all gone! I made Mickey Rice Krispy treats too. That was fun. Kay has never made rice krispy treats. I gave her the recipe off the cereal box. She liked eating them when they were warm right off the stove!

I gave each family a gift bag to take home and it has a bunch of stuff I threw in like DCL shampoo, cond. etc., and the DCL cruise brochure, some pins, stickers, and then I had giant hershey bars which I created a custom cover for based around DCL.

Then I had the picture that DCL sent from Ducky and I framed it Saturday and then everyone had their welcome aboard photo taken in front of it. Then I emailed everyone their picture after the party.

I think I about covered it. Kay...did I miss anything?

Pixar has done it again. I did not know about this movie until last night when I was browsing Trailers On-Demand on my cable box. This movie is going to be HUGE!!! Picture and trailers are all over the internet. Google "wall-e" and tell me what you think.

Maybe folks from Pixar will be featured on this cruise?!?!?

Sounds like you did a great job with the party, Linda! Assist to KAY!

 

[Crissup]

but sometimes they are full of smokers

The Cove Cafe is my favorite place to kick back with a hot mocha and a nice cigar and watch the sea pass by. It's cheaper if you buy your cigars before the cruise, but their prices aren't too bad.

Just thought I had to get this out . We just got our daily paper and one of the articals is about a local actor from Yarmouth Maine who has been preforming as Jafar in Disneyland Calf . He just signed a contract with Disney Cruise Lines the Wonder to preform in the Toy Story and Buzz Lightyear. So I think the way it sound to me thats what we will be seeing. Maybe I have scooped Disney on this one HA HA. WE Will see

A quick heads up to anyone planning on driving to the port. Parking at the port has gone up to $15 per day.

here are a few pics of Linda making Mickey krispy bars and some misc pics.

one of the pics Linda is standing next to the "host litho by Ducky Williams".
It is an awesome Litho....
It is labeled something like: if I remember correctly --- the first Inaugural DCL House Party Litho


the video from DCL was playing during the whole party

the one pic of the STATEROOM DOOR (refrig) was awesome also - that was a cool idea:

AND, OF COURSE, WE GOT A LOT OF HELP FROM SEBASTIAN - as can be seen:

 

[acourtwdw]

Great pictures!! How did I miss the Walt/Mickey shirt? Was that for sale on the last cruise? I want one.

Hope everyone is feeling better and has a great night!

Kay and Linda...The party looks like it was alot of fun! Wish I could have gone to one! Love the Walt and Mickey shirt...Gotta look for one of those!

 

[cobbler]

Mary thanks for the tip on parking fees increasing. That isn't a lot - I think $12 overall, but if you are caught off guard . . .

At least we earn points for free gas that we can use through MI and IN from Speedway.

 

[krdisneybound]

The shirts are from the 2007 DVC cruise. They were in MIckey's Mates the whole cruise . I can't believe you missed them.

The ones that were left, they took off the ship the day we disembarked along with the other DVC items. I went to Property Control last week and they didn't have them there either.

From my understanding, they discarded all the items (that I really don't believe).

Every time I wear my shirt, I get raves about it.


Forgot to say that with those omarshmallows - they were part of the strawberries. On a skewer stick she put a strawberry and then the marshmallows on top. They were the best. They were very colorful.

OK - gotto go and get ready - it is 4: 25 am and I have to get ready for the voting polls. Gonna meet everyone in my area that I haven't seen in years. ha ha

This is too darn early to be up..............

Good morning everyone! That's great news Dan. Looking forward to this new show.

We're coming under a winter storm warning so should be a fun day ahead - not!

Have a great day everyone!

 

[JOANNEL]

$15.00 is still cheaper than Disney transport so we will still park there. Thanks for the update.

Dan- are the Pats nervous????? I hope the Giants can pull it off, even though I doubt it.



Have a great tuesday.

Oh I hope it's not a blow out. The superbowl should be a good game. Maybe we will have some good comercials........

 

[WDWLVR]

I think the commercials are the best part!

Tina - no leaving until 5 for me. Good thing is I don't have a long commute. Hopefully it won't be as bad as they are predicting.

My guess is he is probably headed to Toronto to do the rehearsals and then will go on the Wonder sometime the first week or so of March. The show is suppose to premiere around March 15th on the Wonder. They are taking Hercules off. Luckily, Kay and I are on the Wonder February 28th, so I'm going to make sure I see Hercules before it goes away. I love Hercules, so Toy Story better be great since it is replacing one of my favorite shows!
