I guess we must check the boards every hour to keep uppopcorn::popcorn::.

IDL, I am lost again.:confused::confused::confused:


So, to get it straight The Stingrays on Grand Cayman bite your feet and Hypermom has a Firefighter calender over her pc ????

Or is it, OMG, KC help me out here, too many DM's:eek::eek::eek::eek:
 
Palos on Monday???

Nobody told me:sad2::sad2::sad2::sad2::sad2::sad2:

It's been discussed rather extensively, but at the furious rate at which this group posts, it's easy for things to fly by.

So if your plans allow....Brunch, Palo's, Monday, 10:30. Your reservation window is 90 days right? So, you should be in time to make ressies for this. If you can't get brunch ressies right at 10:30, get them as close as possible and then we're going to link all our brunch ressies after the 75-day mark.

OMG, what should I do????
 
Hi...everyone...

XXCELL is having a break down...

He has not checked posting for a few days and cannot believe all the posts...he can't keep up. He compares this to two women talking to eachother about 2 different subjects at the same and yet they understand eachother...and...like most men is lost in the confusion :confused3

Good job...girls...always keep the guys guessing :rotfl2:

So...I just got home from work...and he begged me to log in and check everything out. From now on, I'll be checking out the posts when I get home too and will do my best to keep up.

I loved the Lanyards,, we want to contribute It is awesome --- you are a talented and fun group! :dance3:

I will be going back through the posting -- to educate myself -- and may have questions. Otherwise, I think we're all set...except for Palos..can't get in on 10:30.

P.S. For all those who wrote back on sting ray city...it's actually XXCELL who has the Steve Erwin fixation.:rotfl::rotfl:
 

The lanyards look great. :banana:

However, I am still stuck on the FE because I am late to the game. I saw on an early post that someone purchased them but I was wondering if there is a pattern available anywhere? Anyone have any ideas?

Also, since I am such a rookie I can't PM yet. But I did get a gmail account and did e-mail hypermommy so I could get added to the worksheet.
 
Hello all!

As we are getting closer to the cruise it is time to get going on some of the great things we have planned!
I am putting together lanyards for everyone who would like to one. These are a great way to meet your fellow disers as well as an awesome way to keep your stateroom key handy!! I love when I recognize a disboard name and am finally able to match it to a face.

I am posting a photo of my "mock-up" so you will get an idea of what they will look like. The lanyard is from a past cruise but since we will be using red, I thought you would like to see it.

Instead of asking everyone to pitch in a few dollars I would rather ask if anyone would like to donate to the project. I need 10 people willing to donate at least $10. (More is always appreciated.!) If enough is donated we will get the lanyard with our Logo "Double Dip Delight".

***I will make a Fish extender for the biggest donor!***
PM me if you would like to help. I have a paypal account if that makes it easier.

When I have enough to cover the cost of lanyards, badges, card stock, and printing I will post that our "Team" is Full. If any of our team members want to help out I will also be looking for people to help man the table in the terminal handing out lanyards.

DEADLINE for Joining the Lanyard Team is SEPTEMBER 14, 2009
Thank you in advance!
Cynthia

Wonderful. Count me in for two lanyards (DW-Sandra and myself-Richard). DW is not on the DIS, so she doesn't have a username.

Here is the link to the Fish Extender thread. Lots of photos and in the first few pages directions on making your own pattern. The most Important part is to have fun with it. You can go as fancy as you want or even make a no sew version. Let me know if you have any questions.

You know, if you're not crafty, you might look at Christmas Card holders - you just want to make sure they're the right size. I know that disneyshopping.com had one last year that fit the size perfectly. Something like this:

OMG! We first time DIScruisers are starting to panic! Can't make ressies till day 75 and I'm afraid everything will be gone. YIKES! DW says she doesn't care if we get into Palo. She says it will all be new and special to us. But I want her to see/experience Palo. DW and DD-6 made our FE today, and we gathered some FE gifts from Ocean City, MD. We have a couple of surprises too.

How hard should I try for Palo ressies. How disappointed should we be if we can't get it this time?
 
Hello all... things are looking great. Will be happy to help at the table if someone can keep my DH from getting in to trouble .. haha
 
Man, Cynthia!!! That looks GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But could you include the latest graphic (it's in my sig and a link to a 10x10 version is also in my sig). The globe in the latest is a bit more spherical. Also, if you need any space under the graphic, I notice you a have the dates there. They're in the graphic but you may want them larger or something by putting it under the graphic too. Just in case you need the space. But boy, does that look great!!!!!

Hello and Thanks for the heads up on the graphic. I tried the link and it said it was invalid. ?? Don't know what I did wrong. Help Please! Now I NEED this graphic!!! Ha Ha :rotfl2:

No worries. They hold back slots for us first-timers at 75 days. Just try to be online at 12:00 am Eastern Time on Day 75 to make your ressies. If you can't get ressies right at 10:30, get them as close as possible. Later, we're going to link them all and try to get the private dining room.

Hmm. I had the same problem, even when I tried linking from the meet website. Fortunately, I have it in my webshots album. Try it from here. Hopefully, it's a size that you can use.

Not very hard. And not at all!

Palo is nice. But if you don't get to eat there, you won't miss it. Besides, you most likely *will* be cruising again.

If you don't get it at 75 days out, when you board, ask the CM who greets you where to go for Palo ressies, go there right away, and you will most likely get one.

If by some odd chance you don't get it then, you can waitlist. The waitlist comes through often.

It's totally NOT worth freaking out over.

Bamfield, there are links in the cruise faqs sticky to both "sew" and "no sew" fish extender instructions.

Will somebody please explain the "secret mickey" thing to me again?

:rotfl2::rotfl2: Now you have me confused (which isn't very hard, mind you). A firefighter calendar? Where'd the come from?

Hi...everyone...

XXCELL is having a break down...

Good job...girls...always keep the guys guessing :rotfl2:

:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

Yep.. he's probably totally lost because we do carry on several conversations at once. That's just what talented people (read: women) do. Actually, I heard of a scientific study one time they did where they put people in a room and had two radio shows playing at the same time. The women could tell you about bits and pieces of each of them but couldn't tell you the whole story of either one. The men could tell you all about one but nothing about the other. They figure it's an evolutionary thing... we were minding the children and gathering fruits and nuts and watching out for creatures that might attack, etc., etc. Men? They had one thing to concentrate on -- kill the woolly mammoth. So we (men and women) learned to focus differently.

That's one explanation for it.

Personally, I think the intelligence gene is carried on that last little leg of the X chromosome that they don't have. :rotfl2:

/me ducking and running (mostly from KC)

Also, since I am such a rookie I can't PM yet. But I did get a gmail account and did e-mail hypermommy so I could get added to the worksheet.

I got your email and saw that Becky sent you the link. Let me know if yo have any problems and we'll get 'em fixed up. And thanks for joining in the fun! :banana::cool1:

Wonderful. Count me in for two lanyards (DW-Sandra and myself-Richard). DW is not on the DIS, so she doesn't have a username.

Last cruise we did, I put the cruise logo on the back of the shirts and put a DIS green Mickey head on the front where a pocket would be. I put KC and my board name on the Mickey head but had a time figuring out what to put on the boys'. I finally ended up putting DS12 and DS14. This time, of course, I'll put EM#1 and EM#2. But that's an idea for a nick to use. Maybe not a great idea....... :surfweb:

How hard should I try for Palo ressies. How disappointed should we be if we can't get it this time?

Don't freak. I didn't do Palo at all when we cruised last time. Our family's just not into the "fine dining" thing. In fact, we ended up asking our servers for regular meals if it could go a bit faster. There's so much to do on the ship that we didn't want to spend 2 hours eating. :rotfl2:

The only thing that's making me really want Palo this time is the group thing we're doing because I LOVE going out to eat with a bunch of friends and that's the kind of thing this will be. Unfortunately, we might not be able to make our ressies at the 90 day mark becuase I'm still waiting on a check from the client (not really their fault, not mine either... just a long story). Anyway.... so I may end up not being able to get the right time either... BUT I know they open up more slots at the 75 day mark so my butt will be on this computer at midnight (if I don't get it before then) on that day so I can give it a try.

So... bottom line is dont' freak out. If we don't get to do the Palo thing with the group then we still get to do the Lumiere's Luncheon. And quiet honestly, there's so much to do onboard that the only thing that would bum me out about missing the Palo thing is not hanging with my cruisehomies!

Hello all... things are looking great. Will be happy to help at the table if someone can keep my DH from getting in to trouble .. haha

We can try... but quite honestly it's the "grown up boys" that are the most trouble, isn't it? The 15yo and the 13yo ... they usually mind pretty well. It's the 50yo that gives me more trouble than anything.

(shhhhhhh... y'all don't tell KC. The first thing my momma taught me is to let a man feel like a man and that means letting him THINK he's in charge while we actually quietly take care of everything behind the scenes :rotfl2:).

Hello and Thanks for the heads up on the graphic. I tried the link and it said it was invalid. ?? Don't know what I did wrong. Help Please! Now I NEED this graphic!!! Ha Ha :rotfl2:

Thanks for letting me know. I discovered this morning that it was missing from my 4shared account. I put it back out there and updated the link in my signature. Hmmmmm... wonder why it was gone. I sure hope we're not having copyright issues again. Why can't people understand that you can't copyright 3 circles... even if it is suggestive of a certain rodent. Harumph! :rotfl2:

Oh, and thanks for not getting upset with me. After I posted that I got to thinking that maybe I should have PM'd you with the request to use the newer logo. Hope I didn't offend.... sometimes I'm just socially stupid.

Hmm. I had the same problem, even when I tried linking from the meet website. Fortunately, I have it in my webshots album. Try it from here. Hopefully, it's a size that you can use.

Thanks!!! I should have known you'd take care of it. I REALLY, REALLY appreciate all you're doing to help keep this shindig organized. Thanks!
 
I am totally onboard with trying to keep up with posts. Mind you I LOVE THE CHIT CHAT but sometimes things get lost. Could we try posting specific cruise related things in red so that if somone needs to do a 5 or 6 page catchup, they won't miss anything???

Or not - everyone's call.

Cynthia-

It looks great. If you still need contributions-I'm in. Just PM me. I have missed a couple of pages the last couple of days. I'm at the kids' dentist right now waiting. I'm not sure about the table yet-what time? We are driving in that day from St. Pete area, so not quite sure when we'll get there.
