11-29-08 Nana Heads 3: Tiara Bob & The Dreamboats reunion Cruise CONTINUED THREAD #7!

[CruisingCamper]

My mom had a lot of cousins whose kids were older than her.

Also, our accountant has a niece and granddaughter the same age. Guess it's not really that uncommon...

I have 1st cousins, a lot of them, that are 25 -30 years older than me. My grandfather was married the first time and had 5 kids, the wife died and a later in life he married my grandmother, who was a lot younger than him and they had 8 kids. So my mom has sisters and brothers that are 25 years older than her, and their kids are that much older than me.

Afternoon all:

Well I bought new luggage this year also. But I really dont call it collecting luggage. (but I guess I have over the years )....anway, I have not started packing yet, but am getting ready to. since I have to change out my summer for winter clothes, I am going to just start putting them in the luggage..(not really packing) but only the clothes that I'm going to bring.......
ok, it will be all my summer clothes in my closet and drawers!!!!! I still havent figured out what I will leave home and what I will pack..... This way, an early start will help with that!!!! I think!!!! I hope ....


Well have a great day all and will be back later

Answers to some below

Ok, now for some real cruise questions...

1. On the Magic TV channels, do they have Mickey Mouse Clubhouse? DS loves the show and sometimes...well we NEED IT VERY BADLY, if you know what I mean...and I read somewhere that they do not have DVD players, so bringing episodes from home will not be happening.Yep they have the Disney Channel

2. Do they have Dr. Pepper? I am an addict. Nope but I think they have Mr. Pibb but I may be wrong on that.

3. Do they offer from laundry services, where on a day that you can fill a bag with clothes and have it cleaned for a good price? Like $15 or $20 for the whole bag? I am so hoping to NOT have to pack a lot. I want to pack for 4 days and wash the rest. We normally budget about $50 for laundry services. I pack us 4 pair of pants and we send them out.They do offer laundry service but not by the bag- by the piece. They do have laundry rooms throughout the ship and it's pretty easy to deal with. The one thing I have started doing is sending my shirts to be pressed the first day. VERY reasonable cost for that.

4. If we stay at a Disney Resort pre-cruise, will they check us in there? And we won't have to do anything at the pier except board the ship?That's what they did when we were at the Grand Californian this summer so I assume it works in Florida the same way though we have never stayed on property just before a cruise.

5. Pictures- Are they handled the same way as at the Theme parks, ona Disney Photo Pass Card?Unfortunately no. It's all through the dreaded Shutters. You will spend many hours scouring the boards for photos of you and then you have to buy a package and keep up every day on what photos you want and which ones you don't. We all really wish they would move to a photopass type of system.


Sorry for the questions, but you guys have been before on DCL... I am so grateful to have found such a nice bunch of folks to cruise with.

I can only answer a couple of the questions:

1. I know they show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse some mornings on the Aerial view screen on Deck 9. Don't remember if it's actually on the TV's. I only know there are 2 channels running Disney movies round the clock.

2. Don't think they have Dr. Pepper at the drink station -- I believe it's Coke products (?)

3. Not sure on laundry prices, but you can send out for the service. I only know it's $4 to have a gown pressed. You can probably find the price list for other stuff elsewhere in the cruise forum. There are also self-serve laundry facilities.

That made my brain tired. I'm sure someone else can answer the rest!!

Whoa there Cheri...come back to reality.... we are not on the disney channel..

 

[jd99]

Have a great afternoon everyone. I think it's time for me to head out and get some stuff done since I'm getting NO work done. Then pick up from school, homework and swim team. Maybe I'll stay up late for actual work.
Later.

If I buy anymore luggage, my husband may pack it for me and set it on the doorstep for me to really use!!!

Afternoon Nana's!!

We had a little accident while getting ready to leave for Park City.

Holly tried to open the fridge and knocked our big "Maglight" flashlight down on her head.

It hit her hard enough that it split her forehead open all the way to the bone!

Since it was a head wound it bled like crazy which made it seem allot worse!

We rushed her to the emergency center where they put stitches in her.

She's back to acting like her normal self now.

We're headed to the pool. I'll try and check in later.

 

[woogal]

sheesh!

 

[Mjasp]

Oh Boy...You can tell you are a pro at that Greg, got stitches, now lets go to the pool. She has the cutest little face. Glad she's OK

Shell...Before you send an updated list of cruisemates out. Let me know so I can send you the list of excursions to attach to it.

I'm ready whenever you are. I was hoping for some more pictures (Gailyn, Steph ... ) but well I'm still hopeful ...

 

[mruhaak]

Just stopping in to say Hi!

I'm sure everyone is having fun preparing for November... wish I was one of you!

 

[pgfour]

Greg -- to make the rest of the day uneventful!

Glad she's feeling better already!
