12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 5

[kimerinc]

I think we will have to rent a mini van to get 5 of us from the airport to the port with all our stuff - I don't see any other way.

what does everyone else do? MIL is putting us over the top

elaine

Magic Express to WDW, Happy Limo to port, Magic Express to Airport. We ONLY use sky caps. I am not good at light packing. Good thing we get extra luggage weight for DH medallion status

 

[elaineteresa]

so you carry the costumes for dinner? pics? to meet characters?

My daughter really wants to bring her Belle costume. You can buy them on the ship I suppose right?

I didn't think Disney ever let you use that many codes at once?

we would be divorced I ever tried to bring that many bags - LOL. You seem to have a good system going though.

Ok, I will be back in abit. I have to catch up on the last 10 pages or so and trying to keep up with the current chat is too much for me. My niece and nephew are spending the night so there is quite a ruckas in here and DD3 really needs to go to bed! Like that will happen with everyone else up!?!

 

[kimerinc]

Kim - maybe your daughter has the opposite of low blood sugar? but you think it is not physical.

DD - just started wearing glasses and she already has a little girl calling her 4 eyes after only 3 days in K. isn't that crazy. I told her to tell her that it isn't friendly and it hurts her feelings when she says that and she should please stop.

after that I talk to the teacher. what do you think?

I wore a patch and glasses in first grade. I could not see because of the patch and I fell off everything. I was a walking target. No teacher on the planet was going to stop the 5 eyes comments I got. What would have been nice if the teacher had had a discussion with the kids about how everyone was different and everyone had something different about them. I think it would have given me more confidence and there is nothing kids are drawn to like a confident child...

[elaineteresa]

we are one of those car people - we are spending 2 days at the beach buying all that stuff we don't want to pack. LOL. then we are going to stay at the Nick hotel where it is just easier to have our own car. Don't know if we will even do any Disney stuff after the cruise.

PJ - I saw this earlier today and thought about booking it...I have never read or seen any reviews on it though.

I had never seen it before either, but it seems like it would be interesting, a sail and a tour. This is a great replacement for the glass bottom boat at least for me. My first thought is that they won't be telling the real history of CC, as it used to be a drug drop off. So it could be quiet entertaining.

Congrats on 22,000 Vanessa!

PJ - That sounds interesting. I have never seen that one before. It says all ages but does not list a price for under 3. I wonder if Allie would be free?

Vanessa!!!!!! Remember our motto tonight! Everything is for the

I am afraid to go to sleep but even more afraid of been over tired tomorrow......

I will deal with it tomorrow...I did last year. We might skip Mass but DH can take the kids to CCD.

 

[elaineteresa]

yes I agree Kim - I think the teacher will have to do a little diversity lecture there. there is another girl with glasses too - I am dying to know if they intentionally put them in the same classroom.

I wore glasses too in second grade - I don't really remember getting teased about it though.

 

[lillygator]

Lisa - you are a hoot!

Becka -- I was counting on that meaning under 3 is free.....

 

[pyramid2000]

thanks Lisa - I assumed that about the regular dining seating. Just wasn't sure how it would work if we linked to the group.

Can I request that we be linked to the late group then? I will send you a PM so that you have a record of the request.

as always thanks for everything.

elaine

Yes Elaine!!! Bring up our count!! Fun! Fun! Fun!!!

 

[lillygator]

PJ - I clicked on view details and it says light snacks and drinks are included....

 

[lbgraves]

Turn up your speakers...

http://monorailgreen.info/cruise/horn.wav

My speaker doesn't work but I can hear it on the headphones. IDK what is wrong. The light doesn't come on when you turn the dial to turn it on. Can you turn that off on the computer or something? Nothing is disconnected.

 

[elaineteresa]

someone mentioned that sail to me - it sounds like fun. maybe I should go and book it quick and cancel if we don't want to do it.

I would like to see more of the island but the kids are too young for some of the other tours.

 

[becka]

If I decide to book that when do you pay and how long do you have to cancel if we decide not to go? That actually sounds interesting.

 

[pjpoohbear]

The CC Island cruise is the last added excursion on the CC list (has the highest number.) And it includes light snack and beverages, interesting. I wonder what the timing will be for this. If it has a morning (10 am) or a mid afternoon start, I am booking it.
