12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 13

[DisneyVegas1]

So now we have "Pricing" "Matress Flipping" and now a " Green Lei" , Boy these DIS code words can get confusing ...Can someone print a book "DIS for DUMMIES"

Or better yet a "DIS to English" translation book

 

[lillygator]

All bets are off when they walk into the terminal. There is no way for anyone to be descrete after that point! LOL!

I can see them fleeing to the parking lot now.....

Oh, I wondered whether those Golden Bears were gummi bears. See, I learned something new today I never knew they had another name.
Gold Bear

Ok
in case anyone is wondering...I filled out the online forms ahead of time.

Here's what came in the package.

Bahama's Customs forms
Luggage tags
Checklist
Orlando Airport Map
New Celebration packages for purchase
(1) ticket for family (listing Sailing Info and room but not dining)
Ground Transfer Purchase option form

 

[lillygator]

is this what they normally send?
The celebration packages, are they the same as on the website?

 

[virginiamama]

LOL , did I mention I even had my teeth casted so I would have the same gold gaps on my teeth as well ...they do snap on and off but they are a perfect fit ..lol

I have a gold crown way in the back, and DS6 has a platinum crown that is very visible. We call them our pirate teeth! He's getting ready to lose his two front teeth also, so he'll be very piratey!

 

[lillygator]

and I guess since my TA has my documents...it means no upgrade.. Oh well. I am truly surprised though that no one in our group got upgraded. Party time on deck 2!! Yippee!!

Thanks, I was thinking maybe they added a DIS Geeks room celebration......
so is someone bringing a printer? Did PJ mention she is redoing the room assignements at the port for those who upgrade at the port?

OK, here's one for Becka. Hope that it makes her smile. I was trying to keep myself from cracking up last night & waking up DH. DS has had major relapses this weekend with the bathroom bat that lives in this house. We have been listening to Disney Christmas music all week. For some reason the Monster Mash popped into my head.

I walked in the bathroom, late one night.
When my eyes beheld a eerie sight,
what was splashed all over, oh what could it be
it was lots of little puddles of pee.

It was the bat, it was the bathroom bat,
It was the bat, it couldn't aim at,
It was the bat, it even wet the bath mat,
It was the bat, it was the bathroom bat.

I can't share this with ANYONE else!!!!

I did laugh when I read about the celebration package including a magnet. I guess they do read the boards.

 

[tynkerbell]

For my 100th post let me say this....

they didn't come by mail, BUT I LOVE UPS

MY DOCS ARE HERE

I need to hound our awful TA today and see what is going on with ours.

 

[lillygator]

I wonder why some go to the TA and some direct even though you used a TA?

 

[lillygator]

I don't know why I am at work today, I am getting NOTHING accomplished...all I think about is CRUISE CRUISE CRUISE!

Yeah!

 

[MommyMinnie]

awww!! My DS7 just lost one of his top front and the bottom front are missing already!

This age is sooo cute.

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Ok...this is my 1000th post. Not a big deal for some but a sure sign to confirm my addiction here....BUSTED!

First of all, I wasn't waiting for the perfect post to respond to...although I've been scanning 3,000 of John's posts all morning...just kidding John. But if I have to see the words "Mac", "banana", "speedo", or "Wii" one more time...

I was watching the Travel Channel Disney Cruise Line episode last night....its enough to drive a person crazy. Just nodding my head and saying, "yep, yep" because by now everything on there was sooooo old. Except for the clips about the rainforest spa: No thongs? Guess we need to write the Travel Channel about that - they must have filmed in the wrong place. The show is going to air again Dec 14, 15 and 18th if anyone is interested and...wanted to stay home to watch it.

Only 10 more days of posting left...yes, I will be posting as DW is screaming around the house trying to get the last minute packing done, usually the night before the flight 3 am....she mentioned that we need to start packing; no, we haven't started. I'll wait until the night before - she'll rattle off the list and I'll throw clothes her way; I don't pack, I fill orders...

In a little over a week, I will have to put my memory to the test and try to recognize everyone. I am trying to remember all of the photos that have been posted since I got on here and put the login names to them, then try to remember the real names...its a lot easier when I put the photo to the login, then the login to the name, then the word WANTED and an image of a post office, not sure why that is...but it helps!

Top 20 Things To Look Forward To, or...errrr...Look OUT For.
1. Deck 6 Streaking - Look out! Get in the elevator at 5 and push 7! Do not push 6, nothing to see here...
2. Seeing the black limos and security detachment as Lisa pulls up in front of the terminal....body doubles with clip boards running in all directions trying to disguise the true Leader...
3. The Terminal - Look forward to (Look out, for the DISers who haven't made that "announcement" yet (confession??, whatever). The sea of lime green and the weird looks from non-DISers - not looks of "wow, that's weird" but of "what have we gotten into?" - I think DCL should setup a Cancellations line at the terminal - they'll probably need it. It'll be right next to the DISer UPGRADE line, right?
4. Going "wireless" at Baltimore / Washington International Airport...depends if Karen is in front of or behind me, and how close the exits are - LOOK OUT!
5. Pirate Night - Look Forward to - haven't seen the costume completed and if last nights call from DMIL is any indication...(I thought DW was going to jump through the phone... - LOOK OUT!
6. Dinners - Look forward to....there are going to be so many clueless faces of DHs who are still recovering from the Terminal Incident, as it will be called. I hope I can keep a straight face..And Brunch at Palo...Look forward to....Have to remember to ask for my Soufle without crust!
7. Counting the number of times that the word "crust" is used when ordering at dinner - Look forward to.
8. Reading the extra page of the Navigator, devoted to the DISGeeks...subtitled "Non-Disers Beware" (catchy title)- Look forward to.
9. Meeting all of the twins...ok, first finding out who the twins are..THEN meeting them. Look Forward to.
10. Watching the boarding of the Flying Dutchman, or the capture of CJS as he TRIES to board the boat...umm ship, yelling TAKE WHAT YOU CAN! - Look forward to, in either case.
11. Discussions about poor math during the Remedial Math Class - LOOK OUT!
12. Hearing the master speak, "Stealing Pirates : Prepare to be DISBOARDED", seminar by Brack - Look forward to.
13. Finding out what other DisSurprises DW has in store for me - she planned this trip! - Not sure, guess it would be Look forward to...
14. Bathroom Bat Goes on vacation - Nathan relives the Bathroom bat incident in the Goofy Pool - LOOK OUT!
15. Jeep tour - Look forward to. I think the shear number of jeeps in the group will look like a small army invading the beaches of Cozumel..."They came by boat, so many good Corona's and Margaritas were lost that fateful day...
16. The night at Jelly Rolls - Look forward to. Always.
17. Run for the Hammocks - In this case, look behind to see where John is...OK, Look forward to...Does everyone have their numbers?
18. Seeing the posters of John in the banana suit posted on decks 4 through 9...funny. LOOK FORWARD TO! Wait, did I let that out of the bag, sorry.
19. Heated battles over Mac vs PC at dinner, in the corridors, at the pool, on the beach, in the spa, etc....LOOK OUT...And debates over the need for a tripod and it relationship to the size of equipment and bags, again LOOK OUT.

And, last and most important....

Number 20. Watching Lisa work her Magic for the crowds...LOOK FORWARD TO.

Everyone ready? Ipods ready? Disney Santa hats on? Kids clothes coordinated by color, dining assignment, day of the week, phase of the moon, and alphabetical order? Liquor on board? I repeat, Liquor on board? DIS Goodies in hand? All Wireless items secured? Copy of US Maritime Law in hand? (Caroline, are you sure?)

Great...ready to go! Warning - Loud Noise!

And I have two words for you too -

Wooo Hoo!!!

That was fun to read!!!!

 

[DSharpe]

I don't know why I am at work today, I am getting NOTHING accomplished...all I think about is CRUISE CRUISE CRUISE!

Yeah!

V - Today...I left the fireplace on, I let a pot almost boil over, I left the water running in the bathroom sink (to heat up) for a looooonngggg time (not sure how long, but I think I mowed part of the yard while it was still running!!)...guess my mind isn't 'here' either!!
