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

[lbgraves]

We're interested in a family snorkeling excursion. We're looking for good reviews as to which port would be the best for this. Any advice?

I know that John & Amy have. They should be around later.

ok I;m a little mad...I ordered $80 worth of stuf from Disney the other day because free shipping was $75 and up , now it's only $50, and I am ordering the lime shirts...ughhh!!! This could be cruise money!

Try calling them to see if you can add the shirts to the order. I was able to.

 

[lillygator]

it shipped already!

 

[lbgraves]

ATTENTION ALL WDW AP HOLDERS!!!!!

You have to check out this thread! There is a $50 discount now on the cruise. IDK the restrictions but call DCL now!!!

Well, that stinks!

 

[DisneyVegas1]

Were they out of them in the kid's sizes already? Did you talk your sister's family into getting them?

Oops , did they have kid sizes ?????

Yes she will oreder hers tomorrow .....

Okay, so my husband and I are looking into renewing our vows and are horrified at the $1000 price. All we want is something simple that would involve our two kids (DD, 11 and DS, 8). We recently found out that the priest who married us is no longer with the church among other things, so doing this would be meaningful for both of us. Is it possible for a fellow passenger being a judge, captain or clergyperson do the ceremony? If so, is there anybody interested?

Penny - Awesome newsletter - you got me to fix my printer too - some of the ink was out.

Lisa - were you talking about us? Amy has NEVER gone snorkeling in this lifetime . . . Alex and I did the Stingray City Tour at Grand Cayman on one cruise - which was fun. Your DH Mike and I did the Golden Eagle (actually my second time on that one) and that is an awesome fun time, but it is at St Marteen. Not sure what would be good snorkeling on this cruise.

Brandi, when we were just down at WDW this May, we celebrated our 20th Anniversary!

As far as car rentals, we typically use budget. I'm not sure what we will do this time . . . we used Emerald at WDW last time, and while drop off and pick up at WDW was pretty easy I HATED the vehicle we got. A Monte Carlo 2 door! When we have flown in the day before, to rent the car and drive to the port has usually been around $75 with all taxes, etc, included. We will probably rent a car instead of "Magical Express" - I was not that impressed with the Express, but it WAS Free.

Lisa, DU asked if we were AP Holders when we filled out our reservation. I knew about the $50 - but guessed we were maybe not eligible due to the group thing? I'll drop DU an email and ask.

Can you see it now - the LIME GREEN ARMY at the Port Terminal? I suggest we all get together for a group photo (if everyone is there - or for whoever is there early) in front of the ship model with our shirts on. That way we don't have to worry about it later on the ship - and it would look awesome in the terminal.

Amy says my post is too long. Of course, SHE doesn't post this long . . . but I had a lot to catch up on!

Have your sister order an extra.

Any word on the straglers?

 

[lbgraves]

OOPS!!! I meant to quote the post about the car rentals from the airport to the port.

gggpack,

I'm President of the School Board and an attorney. Does that count in international Waters?

FANTASTIC idea!!! We can hold the banner in front of us. The shirt count is up to 58!

Forgot to add . . . I also was an altar boy, and mom really wanted me to be a priest . . .

 

[lillygator]

thanks for posting Lisa - I'll check with DCL and TA tomorrow to see if we qualify!! AAA also gives a shipboard credit.

You would give them a discount, right? HEY! Where is Brack?

Honestly, I think that if you did something with just your family on CC a little out of the way that would be really nice. You could write your own vows & the kids could be involved too.

 

[waltsgirl]

Hey Vanessa you need to get working on your Bad Girl posts!!

 

[pjpoohbear]

Kevin, I hope all turns out well! Our thoughts are with you!


Penny, the newsletter is astounding! I showed my DH and told him there were people who were even more excited and planned even more than me. Today he thinks I am a little less crazy than yesterday. I loved it!!!!

We have been at DH class reunion, so I am still catching up. Wow, I hope I have enough battery life.

Kim

Kim, Cool to know I can make others look more normal, just by being me, lol.

In regards to the bracelet, I will be more than willing to wait until dinner at 1900, as I do not have any USPS stamps left after all my scrap swaps, lol.

Anyone, had experience with AP DCL discounts with just a voucher? I will be buying my pass next month and will be sent a voucher that I will get to exchange when I get to WDW on the 5th of December.
