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

[DisneyVegas1]

ROFL! I can't imagine doing that thru an almost 3 hour movie! Were you guys ourside at the Dumbotron or in the theater? Were there many ohters there? What did they say/do?

I can't believe you guys stayed up so late last night. It was the first time I wasn't up until 1 or later. LOL!

The Pool area was full of people and most of the DISers had there script plus I printed about 20 other copies to hand out to those that were interested ...It was fun to those that knew what was going on , people were laughing at us yelling at the screen ...One of the funniest parts when Captain Jack Sparrow made his entrance on top of the mast in the begining of the movie , I jumped up on top of the railing while a couple of DISers held me to mimick what CJS was doing ...everyone was clapping and having a good time ... I have to be honest I did not make it through the whole movie , I was beat from a day in Cozumel where we did Margaritas around the Island /with shots (it was kinda like when we were at Epcot we did Beers around the world ..LOL ) we had ealry dining so between all that and taking pics and signing autographs by the time I got half way through the movie I was bushed ...

I am cleaning as well while DH works on reports at the library. I think that both of us will be VERY glad when this grad thing is over with. Waiting for the floor to dry so I can finish up the other side. Hot & sticky here today but the rain should be moving in within a few hours. The pool is closed for a meet. The lawn mower is broken. So I guess that I will just stay inside & continue cleaning.

Wish I was still asleep. tired oh so tired, I was tell about two this morning then up at 7. But here I am again. I am going to try to find more stars and stripes bowls to go with my Mickey one I just bought. It went down 4 bucks and one of our sweatshirts went down 3, sence I ordered them. Bummer they did say they would price match for 14 days after shipping the stuff, but I think that would bring me to a buck under the free shipping cost, bummer. Well DH is willing to help clean the house, so I'm taking him up on it. He needs to move our pool table out of the livingroom into the basement and get this computer desk out of my dining room. We don't need it anymore as I have the laptop and it takes up to much room, even thoe it is nice, If I ever get anoughter computer it will go in one of those hutches that you can sut the doors on. Well better go. Hope our shirts get shipped soon.

 

[lbgraves]

Why don't you just price match for the bowls then & tell them that you don't want it for the shirt if they ask about it.

 

[mum of two pirates]

That is what I was thinking. I would have done both and ordered DH the blue mickey flag shirt, I got one but didn't order him one and now I wish I would have.



I used the school code of $20 off.

Good morning all! How how it is where you are? It's almost 9 am and low 90s outside right now. High humidity (which we're not used to here in Sacramento) and expected highs in the high 100s. UGH!

I got my little goodie from DCL yesterday, very exciting! I need to send in my payment so I can be ready to book everything when I can!

As far as photos, I'll be bringing my Canon Rebel and my laptop as well, and probably a tripod too. What about using thumb/flash drives to transfer images? Then one person would just have to copy the file 30 times to a thumb drive, which doesn't take too long on a fast computer....

Just checking in with everyone. The last two evenings I have read all the posts, then I am too exhausted to reply! How do you do it!
Today we are "cruise" bbqing with our two other cruise families. Giving everyone the "ultimate packing list" today

Lisa..my total cruise party is 11 people. I have already requested 8:00 seating w/TA. Should I just stick with this plan or link with you?

Becka..love the new photos of your family...sweet!

Becka..love the new photos of your family...sweet!

Thanks!

Nathan's picture is from the 4th of July weekend on his first ever fishing trip with Grandpa. He loved it and was so proud of his fish.

DD's was from yesterday. I usually pull her hair back into one small ponytail to keep it back but I have been wanting to do pigtails for a while. Unfortunately she is so squirmy and hates having her hair done that I couldn't get it done. Her teachers at daycare have also tried and she didn't want any part of it. Yesterday at daycare they finally managed to get her to sit still long enough and I just love it. I knew it would look cute but not that cute.

You can link with the group if you would like. Right now we only have 20 people in late dining. I will need your resie number if all of them are already linked to you. I will also need everyone's name & their room number.

Get this one. I made our last payment to Costco this week. I still havent gotten a conf. #. Naatasha called back yesterday, (I had talked to her a few times this week about this stuff and thought it was taken care of) But guesse not. Anyway We all know that Disney new policy for the t.a.s is and I made my payment and Disney won't take it. They want like $300 more dollars. Becouse they won't let costco give me my discount. I can pay the difference and then costco will send me the costco card thoe. Or they can work on it some more. (lst conversation with her on thursday) I told her not. Anyway she is a superviser, and she has had her super. on this also. He is telling disney that there policy wasn't in effect when I booked and they had a contract with them and disney won't stand by it. So anyway she called me back and said she is cutting disney a check for the difference and sending it overnight on monday. they should have it applied by wed. then she can make my payment. (they won't take my c.c. payment untill the rest is paid.) Then she will give them my payment and and then disney will send them there comision payment for the amount that costco sent them. What a Joke huh. Anyway just wanted to let you all know if you booked with costco, that the new policy sticks to the old ressies.

 

[lbgraves]

OMG!!! You have to post this on the main board!!! That just isn't right. I wonder why noone else has dealt with this yet. I'm sure that someone would have posted by now. ???

 

[lillygator]

I'm confused on the Costco thing...but hope it all works out for you.

Becka = cute pics!! My youngest doesn't really have enough hair to do pigtails so I still use my large bow headbands! The eldest - well, it's always a battle with the brush. I am still amazed that she sat entirely still in the Bibbidi Bob Boutique....but then again, it wasn't me threatening her with a brush.

It's pouring here. We went to the mall for tax free days and I must say I was highly disappointed in the Disney store offerings. They did have $5.99 pj pals - but how many jammies can one have? They had some really cute new princess clothes but I was not about to pay full price for them. We then hit the Children's Place....spent $30 - an extra 50% off rack and a 15% coupon and got the girls a bunch of cute things for the cruise. Mostly matching - cheesy I know!

Our second DD order left yesterday...late compared to the first one, but I am sure since they had tons of DIS'ers ordering those lime shirts probably put a hold up in there somewhere!

 

[lillygator]

Lisa - Samantha is sitting here with me and she says - "look mom, all the C's - for Carlin" --- from your signature. I never noticed all our stops started with a "C"!!

 

[pyramid2000]

Wow! This is very interesting and down right sneaky on the part of DCL! Very glad to see that Costco is sticking to their end with you. I'm sure this will get alot of people calling their TAs for upcoming cruises though. And paying off earlier to be sure.

 

[pyramid2000]

Becka - Very cute pics! How long did she keep the pigtails in? DD3 takes anything I put in within an hour and then her hair looks CRAZY! Is why I don't put it up too much.

 

[lillygator]

My dad and his girlfriend may come on this cruise too and I just looked on DCL - there are cat 4,5,6,8,9,10,11 left...I don't recall this many being left this close to the 90 day mark!! And I am shocked...I thought the double dip would be very popular!

 

[lillygator]

Anyway We all know that Disney new policy for the t.a.s is and I made my payment and Disney won't take it.

what is the new policy?

 

[becka]

Caroline - she kept them in for several hours. Sometimes she pulls stuff out right away and other times she will keep it in. It really just depends. I think she prefers her hair all crazy but it gets in her face and she can't see where she is going. I really don't want to cut it but I told DH if she gets so bad that I cannot keep it out of her face we will have to cut it.

 

[pyramid2000]

The new policy is that TAs can not discount DCL cruises any more. They can offer an onboard credit or a gift card (such as Costco), but that is it (unless they have a group rate). RCCL had already been doing this, but TAs can't even offer an onboard cridit with them! Just something like free insurance or such.

Come on Tavia..link dining with us!! The more the merrier!
