10/24/2009 Bash on the Boat Cruise (I'm with BOB) Chapter #10

[JLDSMD]

How cool! -Golden Mickeys - I wish I was with them

So do we. We saw Leesa as soon as we boarded and she asked if you, Neil and Ellis were on the cruise with us too. We sadly told her no, but you will be in October of 2009.

She is on the APL rotation (5:45) but we switched off that one a month ago for the LAP (5:30) - better rotation.

Hiya Jeff - Have you gone already? Did I miss you by seconds

I hope those new tablemates of yours are living up to our high standard

Say hello to her for me if you see her again.

We're all soooo excited for you. Theres some great photos of the Magic sailing away on one of the other threads.

Tell Suz she must have a konked Kooler for me when you get to Castaway Cay

 

[Karen Mouse]

I should post some questions from the treasure hunt book and make you go find the answer onboard

Keep the reports coming, Number Boy! We're so happy for y'all and love hearing about it.....I think it makes us all feel like we know celebrities.....

Hey, are you ratting me out?

Sorry, I always go to the PM's first people. That's why, if you have a question, shoot me a PM.

Anyhow, it is a bit cool today, which is what I thought it would be the first day. The sea temps I think are only 77 in this part of the ocean, so not too warm. Water is calm and we're moving pretty good.

The BOB group is having a great time together. Our assistant server was off her game big time last night. I'll try to post more later (what I will do is type in Word off of the DIS and then copy and paste).

We have the 500 minute package ($150) so I will check in on the sea days. Have some good pictures already (I'll see if I can get them uploaded - may need Andy's help if it takes too long ).

Here's the funny thing, I'll drop $150 to get an internet connection but am hemming and hawwing on a $250 watch. I think I may have it bought by this evening (formal night).

Anyhow, I'll check back later. Again, PM me important stuff because I won't have time to read it all.

P.S. The Darkside is as annoying as we thought. Not all of them, but mainly the core group. And the "captain", I think any comments will be "*" out.

Good to hear from you Jeff Have a fantastic cruise

Good Monday morning everyone. I'm starting out my week taking Emily to the doc. She hurt her ankle while she was boating with her friends (and her friend's dad) yesterday. I am hoping it is just sprained so it doesn't mess up her cross country running.

I want to be on the repo.

Me, too!

How did it go Sistah P? Hopefully, everything is ok.

Anybody else think that the lady third from the right MIGHT be Heather???

Could be.

Nevermind...I just read her blog and she's wearing something different

Edited to snag my FO

Thanks Mel!

Wait, I'm changing my answer. No.

It's 85 hot and humid here Jeff and it's only noon. You never should've gone.

Hi everyone!

Wow, my first post on thread 10 and it's on page 8??? I'm falling way, way behind in the post counts... I also haven't caught up on the end of thread 9...hope I didn't miss anything important!

We spent last weekend at Pete's family's cottage at a lake about 1/2 hour from here. We had fun boating and swimming, but no internet access to say hi to everyone. Also, no pics since I forgot my camera!

Today, however, I am just exhausted - I can barely keep my eyes open at work...fortunately I have less than 3 hours to go.

Hello everyone,

I am very sad today, would like to say the pictures helped but they didn't!!! Only joking...

I WANT TO BE ON THE REPO!!! I'm 24 and need to get over this obsession with holidaying in Mickeyland with my parents!!!

I am trying to work out if a glass of wine pre-7.30 is acceptable. I know turning to the bottle won't help, but neither will a cup of tea, so that's my reasoning!

Brenda - We are coming in Oct 2009, I have decided, dont you worry, even if its just to secure my place haha! You have my word i will not let you down. Just imagine how easily we will be able to wear him down in three weeks time when he is back off the Maj...he will be itching to get back on that boat i tell you!!

Nancy - Glad you got to talk to my pa, i know you all think a lot of him as he does you guys!! xxxx

Hello everyone! I see the 9th chapter finally closed.

I saw the cam pics of the Magic sailing. I would love to be on there! The long cruise would be great. After all, our first one was 11 nights!

I guess I'll spend a few minutes catching up on the 8 pages already posted here.

 

[Tinkerbell.RN]

Ok, question for everyone:

Name a resort you DREAM about staying at someday that perhaps you have not yet stayed:

Ours would be the Grand Floridian castle view!

Well, we didn't have the castle view, but the Grand Floridian was my first taste of WDW! Matthew and I stayed there on our honeymoon in 1989! It was an amazing experience for this then 22 year old!


I would love to stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Hopefully I can talk Matthew into booking us into the DVC rooms on one of our future trips! We didn't want to add points there because that would split them into 3 resorts (We have points from Old Key West... which was the ONLY DVC site when we bought!... and Beach Club Villas)

 

[Tinkerbell.RN]

Hi all,

from a newbie you guys are great and very friendly and welcoming.

I'll second that emotion! The kore KK group have been very welcoming!

 

[Tinkerbell.RN]

To answer a few questions.

Weirdest food eaten on a cruise? Don't eat weird food. EVER!

Look forward to food on cruise? Watermelon and ice cream.

Resort of my dreams? Definitely Grand Floridian. Can't wait to stay there.

I forgot about these questions from the end of the last thread!

I agree with the first...if I think it is weird, I'm not likely to eat it! BUT we tried watermelon soup on our first cruise (the Med!) and it was great! I wish they would add it to their regular cruises.

Looking forward to food? Anything. I don't get to eat as much cuisine in real life!

I wanna be on the Repo too Jess. And I'm putting you in charge of making sure afeg doesn't change his mind about next year. No pressure there huh kiddo?

It's so nice to hear from you Jess. Keep it up. You'll have more posts on thread 10 than your dad does on 1-9 all added up together.

I don't know anything about the views...but Grand Floridian would get my vote also! Second choice would be the Polynesian....

My one and only trip to WDW we stayed at the Contemporary in the Garden wing (I think it's the one they tore down/are tearing down) and it was really nice. I loved being on the monorail!

Just back from the doc. Just a sprain. She will have to keep off of it for the next week, then slowly start putting pressure on it......

So glad there was no break.......
