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

[becka]

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.

Pj

We should all book the same one....a DIS cruise! :

 

[kimerinc]

Kim are you gonna stay awake with us for the excitement, or are you just gonna read about it in the AM?

I will try to stay up as late as I can, but DH is packing for Chicago tommorow early and he is kind of grumpy. This is a wierd trip, he comes back monday at 11:30 p.m. and then leaves again at 7 a.m. for San Antonio...

My eyes are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sleepy. But I'm afraid if I do, I won't wake up!!

 

[lbgraves]

I will probably stay awake!

??

If I tried to go to sleep I wouldn't be able to. ACK!!!! I may as well just stay up now that I am hyped up about it.

 

[pjpoohbear]

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything, lol. I may not get a spot now, lol. I am planning this for Friday.

Becka, You have to cancel excursion 48 hours prior to avoid a cancellation fee.

[pjpoohbear]

Everyone just joking!

Gosh, PJ! That sounds like fun!

 

[lbgraves]

Okay - 22,000 by 10:00. Not bad, huh, Lisa?!

ROFLMAO!!!!! I guess not. Do we see 23000 by tomorrow night then?

 

[pjpoohbear]

I'm watching Song of the South, and it is a really sweet movie. It has been years since I have watched it.

Pj

 

[becka]

I was thinking Friday also. Maybe afternoon right after lunch. DD may sleep and we could enjoy the island. I wonder if DS would behave.... Hmmmmm

 

[pjpoohbear]

So, if you are all thinking of a possible, accidental, DIS CC Island Cruise, lets say Friday for the afternoon cruise if there is one. Let's see a show of hand for afternoon.

[pyramid2000]

No. I don't think there is a nurse. I met every staff person including all the maintenance people and I never saw a nurse.... Monday is Pizza day, and she loves Pizza!

kim

Really??? No nurse at her school???

There are some quiet ones lurking.....

 

[lbgraves]

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.

elaine

Yup! Sometimes two changes a night. Last cruise we did formal pictures, started dinner, DD & I left our 6:15 dinner at 6:45 to change and see Cindy at 7. Noone else was there because of the time....either dinner or the show. We were back at the table a couple minutes later & got our next course. I decided DD seeing Cindy was more important than my salad.

DD.com use to have a glitch where you could use more than one code. You had to do it a certain way...something where you added something to your cart when not logged in & cookies cleared then add the code, then sign in and it would add the code, then you could delete the extra items used to get each code to apply. Well, that sale had the most codes out & they finally fixed the glitch after several years.

We have always used that many bags...or more. We took a big stroller the first couple years. Not sure what we will do this time. Oh, the kids had their backpacks with homework last time too but I wont be letting them do that this time if it is going to be unexcused anyway.

 

[elaineteresa]

is there another cruise gift basket shop other than the one always mentioned - I wasn't that impressed with their offerings.

does anyone know if Peggy's sweet in Orlando delivers to the cruise ship? she has cute things.

thanks

[BuzzBoyMom]

hMMMM....

I figured I might as well fill out some of those online forms....

well, now I discover another family linked to us...we expected 12 but 4 more are coming. I vaguely remember one of my friends saying she invited another family.

my question - CAN they do a table for 16? I'd actually prefer to do a table for 8, but now I wonder how they will fit us together. Does anyone remember if they do tables of 16?

 

[lillygator]

How come DCL doesn't have Costa Maya on their site for ports?

 

[pjpoohbear]

V, look under special cruise ports, we are special.
