I've been entering the one for dreams, but I don't know where the one is where you enter your picture.

And, yes, I heard you under your breath how warm it is in Florida.

I have been entering the dream contest too. Just found out about it 3 days ago, so I missed a few days. I am always entering contests for free Disney trips. Free is free, even if they do send me to a value

The photo contest is for the Disboards, the photo contest for some prizes. It's part of the Dis podcast.

brunch is ONLY on sea days. So there will be only one day we can do Brunch at Palo.

Brunch at Palo's is awesome! It was so good, we did it twice on our last cruise.

 

[figmentnnemo]

Oh, okay. Just thought maybe you forgot (you know...one of those senior moments )

Speaking of the scrapbook queen of Disney Cruise Line (me), I am running to lunch and going to.......the scrapbook store! I have to say the scrapbook for the PC cruise is coming along nicely! (and to think, it is only February!).

Since my voice is still gone, I am getting lots of work done! It's going to snow here again today and then, the weatherman promised it might warm up to the 30's and we should get a little sunshine!

Ok scrapbook queen, have you ever seen anything Figment?

 

[figmentnnemo]

Eeyore77...that sounds like so much fun....have a great time. We used to get pit passes at Dover Downs....that was great!!!!

Where did you get your figment icon

Ok scrapbook queen, have you ever seen anything Figment?

I haven't looked, but I'll start looking when I am out. Anything in particular you are looking for?

 

[acourtwdw]

did you book with DVC? Did they charge you the $95. for non-DVC resort??

Yup! But what can you do? I wish we didn't have to pay for the exchange, but it is a last minute trip. I can't wait! The snow is too much and we are getting more this weekend.

Even though my bday was Sunday, Amanda said that she will get me the bday pin and we can celebrate it all over again in my favorite place! \

Mary- I hope your ankle is feeling better.

Well we are on board ready to cast off the shuttle launch was amazing!
Kay ill see you on board Sunday!
Kamy good to see you again!

First of all I am so envious of you. I covered the shuttle Launch yesterday for my TV station and it was amazing to see it from the Media area yesterday as you have a view closer than anyone. I would have given all that up to have been watching it from the deck of that ship yesterday. As I was driving in yesterday I saw all the buses and I just wanted to run to the boat and then when we got up on the bridge even with all the fog there she was off in the distance. Oh well I will just have to wait....:sad1 I will say to all of you that if you have not seen a launch in person it is amazing and if you wanna see one you better not wait. The shuttles will be retired in 2010.

I totally agree! My favorite was when John Glenn went back into orbit. We got to see that from right across the water. Awesome!

In December of '06 we were at WDW during a night launch and got to view it from the dock at the Poly. That was breathtaking as the sky lit up.

On last years Member Cruise the launch was on our sea day. We had just finished up brunch at Palo and I got to see the launch up on the dumbotron and then they announced where to look in the sky. It was way in the distance but we could definately see the contrails.

 

[acourtwdw]

When does the shuttle come back?

 

[kamgen]

Thanks for the welcomes!!!
We are really excited abouty this, it is our first member cruise!
Do we have any idea when they will announce the theme? Our DVC guide told us that the incentives and promotional stuff will be the best ever....guess we have to wait and see on that one!

Wasn't that just awesome!!!?? I had forgotton my camera so if anyone has a picture they could email me I would love it for my scrapbook.

Overall last year's cruise was amazing. The guests, the shuttle launch was definatly something neat that we just loved. Plus there was to be about a 60% chance of rain on our first CC day and it turned out to be the most perfect weather.

Pixie Dust was definatly with us on that cruise

 

[krdisneybound]

I definitely have some awesome pics, as were standing on Deck 10 looking at the sky and the Dumbotron.

If you need some of them, I'll be glad to send to you.

Just let me know and I'll need your e-mail address to send them to.

My shuttle launch pics from the member cruise, 2007:

We ran out of Palo's too. It was great. The captain even turned the ship around at the right angle for us!

 

[krdisneybound]

thanks, Linda - you must be home sick today - fell better.

 

[WDWLVR]

Great pictures Linda - thanks for sharing.

BTW I almost forgot to tell you. Remember the Scuba family from the 10 day Christmas cruise? We're seeing them this weekend. They are in Chicago for a gymnastics meet.
