[@GoofyNut]

3 ?'s .....

1. How do we find out if anyone famous (BESIDES the infamous
DIS CRUISEARS) is going on the ship?

2. Is our ship goiing to be full capacity?

3. Any word on the Shuttle Launch?

Just curious...

 

[papa]

Cathy go to Shuttle for space info. For the official Nasa shuttle pageNasa Shuttle Page

The website is only showing cats 4,5,9 open so I guess it will be at full capacity.

What we are not famous enough or should I say infamous enough

Babysitting today and trying to keep one eye on the front porch jic.(just in case) Mike

PS Mike J we wait on photo equipment, gps stuff, sugar glider stuff etc.

With all you people chasing down the Fed Ex Guy looking for your docs, I was reminded of the song Wells Fargo Wagon from The Music Man. So I reworked the lyrics a little, and voila....

[sung to the tune of Wells Fargo Wagon, with apologies to Meredith Willson]

Oho, the Fed Ex Driver is a-comin' down the street
Oh please let it be for me
Oho, the Fed Ex Driver is a-comin' down the street
I wish, I wish I knew what it could be
I got a box of PS2 games on my birthday
Last year I got my docs from DVC
And once I got some coupons from Mypoints
Amazon.com sent me a camera and a new CD

Oho, the Fed Ex Driver is a-comin' now
Is it a prepaid surprise or C.O.D.?
It could be scanners
Or printers
Or a new computer
Or it could be
(Yes it could be, yes you're right, it surely could be)
Somethin' special
(Somethin' very, very special now)
Just for me

Oho, the Fed Ex Driver is a-comin' down the street
Oh don't let him pass my door
Oho, the Fed Ex Driver is a-comin' down the street
I wish I knew what he was comin' for
I got some DVDs from Disney last December
And I expect some new clothes to wear
I hope I get my docs from Disney Cruise Line
Before I pull out the remainder of my thinning hair

Oho, the Fed Exth Driver ith a-comin' now
I don't know how I can ever wait to thee
It could be thumthin' for thomone who ith no relathion
But it could be thumthin' thpecial just for me

Oho, you Fed Ex Driver, keep a comin'
Oho, you Fed Ex Driver, keep a comin'
Oho, you Fed Ex Driver,
Don't you dare to make a stop until you stop for me


I know it's Friday, but I suspect my employer would really like it if I got back to work now...

MikeJ-

LOL!!!!!!!!! I can just hear little Ronny Howard singing that!!!

Am I the only one that got doc's yesterday??? Did anyone else book direct with DCL? I'm just trying to figure out why I got mine and nobody else did.

Question for all you veteran cruisers...

How many pieces of luggage can we fit comfortably in the cabin?
Since we will be at WDW before the cruise, I have several days for which to pack. I know I'll be doing some laundry, but I don't want to spend the whole cruise in the laundry room. Has anyone used the laundry facilities? Comments? Has anyone used the laundry services? How expensive is it?

All info appreciated.

Kimber

Mike J---That is so funny. We should coordinate a time so we can all sing it together across the country and Canada as we await the FEd ex man/woman. My DS is at home today so hope he will wake up if the doorbell rings to get the docs. Yea right. This is the same child who last summer slept through a police incident near our house where they evacuated our neighborhood. The police pounded on our door 3 different times to make sure no one was in the house. Dogs barking like crazy and the 18yr old slept through it all.

It's Friday and I hope everyone has a good weekend. Another week closer to our cruise.

Kimber-- The washer is $1 and so is dryer $1. Though it took about $3 to dry my clothes. I went early in morning as it gets busier during the day. I had the perfect stateroom last cruise, only 4 doors down from the laundry. So could go back and relax between washer and drier. Luggage can be fit under the beds. We had 4 big suitcases, put 2 in closet and 2 under bed.

It's Friday and I hope everyone has a good weekend. Another week closer to our cruise.

Sorry about the double message, I didn't realize the first one went before I was ready to send it.

Hello,

And no documents here - but it is early- . MikeJ thanks for the song - I can hear myself singing it - as I sit here waiting for the sound of the big truck coming down my street.

@Goofynut - I was thinking the same thing - what famous celebrity would we see on the cruise? But then I thought of the times I saw celebrities in WDW. Tracey Gold from "Growing Pains" - not a nice person - walked around World of Mickey like she was just going to buy everything in site and pushed little kids, too. <not mine, of course, she wouldn't even dare> I would rather not see a celebrity, we are the celebrities.

Beth - another boring drab day in Newark - those people are so obnoxious up there - I wish I had a direct path to the building no site of anyone else. Lucky me - I get to go at least two more times before the cruise.

Sitting and waiting for my docs.

 

[Twinave]

Wow! I had some minor problems with my computer cable hook-up. Got it fixed today, and found I had pages and pages to read in order to get caught up. Love the song Mike. Took the day off today, we are leaving this evening to drive to Charleston. Rellingtwin is hosting this years family reunion. Spent all morning doing laundry, packing, and cleaning. Looking forward to seeing all my siblings and thier families. Not loking forward to the 10 hour drive. No docs here yet. Maybe they will be here when we get back. Stay happy, and healthy. Later, Ave'

 

[eshannon]

That poor Fed Ex Man!!! Offered him an ice cream cone: and he took it!! They are here!!!! Since they were shipped day before yesterday it took two days. Will wrtie more later. Elaine

 

[papa]

Kimber we booked directly with DCL. Our last name begins with W so we are always last in line for anything

If our documents shipped yesterday it will be Monday before ours arrive.

Ave you Mary and family have a wonderful reunion and everyone buckle up for the trip. Give everyone a big hug for us and we will be able to eyeball you soon.

Mike

 

[eshannon]

Have a question.... We had planned on taking a collapsible cooler on with sodas etc. We didn't do it last time but and I know lots of you do. On page 4 the important messages coupon, it says no coolers. Is that just a formality? Did it say that last time also and I just didnt' see it? Thanks Elaine

 

[@GoofyNut]

Mike ... Don't feel bad we are at the "W" end of things too! My only problem is that the Fed Ex guy usually just leaves whatever on our front porch and I have to remember to check when I let the "Queen" out to potty.

Ave, Chrystina and anyone else that is doing any traveleing .... Stay Safe! HAVE FUN but STAY SAFE!!!

Anyone interest in doing the Hidden Mickey Hunt - I made up some booklets ... first come, first serve!

Does anyone know if that tanker fire they had near International Drive will affect our getting to the port or WDW?

Back to work.....

 

[rae519]

No documents yet, but next best thing!
My info packet from Shirley! The woman is marvelous!!!! Lots of info especially good for those who have never been to Key West. Getting hungry for conch fritters now - whatever they are!

Have a nice reunion Ave and Mary!

Hope you are doing well Papa -
Loved the Fed Ex song! Can just hear us singing it now!

And yes, please GoofyNut for the Hidden Mickey Hunt! We'd love to be part of that!


Soon!!!!
Rae

 

[disvaclub92]

Hi all,

My docs are in ...... just not with me. My TA received them yesterday. <ok I called and had the Fed Ex package tracked - and was informed that the TA received it yesterday>. Did my TA call me? No of course not. So I will call her on Monday.

Goofynut - yes - Hidden Mickey Hunt sounds good to me, too - the girls would love that.

Nancy - your son sounds like me - I could sleep through anything.

Ave and Mary - have fund at your reunion and drive safely.

Take Care

 

[papa]

Cathy to answer your question go to tanker I sent a link to your email. Mike

 

[Rikersmom]

No docs here. Grumble, grumble. We booked directly with DCL and our last name starts with "H"--no fair.

After reading some of the other threads and posts, I'm really getting hungry. Sounds like our dinner companion Rae is my new favorite friend for dinner. I like food, too.

The guys probably won't appreciate this, but I bought a really neat long black dress at Macy's today. Marked down, marked down, marked down and then an extra 15% off with coupon. I have a Disney tee-shirt that says "Shopping is an art form"--my motto. Not sure if this dress will make the cruise with me, but it was a true bargain.

It is hotter than Hades here. I usually like sunshine, but some clouds and rain would be truly welcome.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Karen

 

[eshannon]

Yes please, We would love be part of/ have one of the booklets of the hidden mickeys.

I also got the stuff from Shirley. Thank you so much. HOpe I had enough postage.

Our state fair started today. Might go tomorrow for a little while. We love the food Am trying not to eat too much. Saving for the cruise.

Hope you all have a very magical weekend. Elaine

 

[padisneyfan]

I had just written a post and ready to send when AOL booted me off again. So will make short this time.

Jul---Glad to hear that your documents are in. Plus your week is over, and we are one week closer to the cruise.

Hope everyone who has been sick is now feeling better.

For everyone traveling have a safe journey.

Karen---You need to bring that black dress it sounds so elegant. I have been out bargain shopping and now have more dresses than night to wear them. Guess I will just need to keep on cruising to get use out of them.

Cathy--- If you have enough of the hidden mickey will do, but give to the families first.

Will be spending the weekend getting both of my sons the necessary items they need to go off to college. DS#1 will be a sophmore so he doesn't need many of the big items, just all the little necessary things. DS#2 needs everything since he is a freshman. He is to get the refrig so we went hunting for that tonight, plus he wants a George Foreman grill. I guess he plans on cooking at school. Went to Wal Mart tonight, what a zoo. I should have know better not to go on a Friday night. I thought DH was going to have cart rage. My DH made his one trip for the week there, so I'm on my own for the rest of the weekend.

Signing off for now before AOL kicks me off again.
