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

[becka]

I just got the TOP of page 1,500!

 

[tynkerbell]

also, if you order more than 1 basket, she will tie them all together so there is only 1 delivery charge!

Just a quick FYI... Shirley said they recently stopped letting her tie more than 2 together to save on the delivery.

 

[elaineteresa]

that's good to know about the delivery charge for the cruise baskets - I was wondering about that - could get expensive.

any suggestions for what would be fun for the kids but not readily available on the ship?

thanks.

Also, I think that you posted your room number Dody but I didn't write it down. Could you please give it to me again?

It's 7052

Here are Sophia's pictures from Sadie's . . .

I think she made a pretty good fairy - the first two are "Retro" color, and the last one is natural color.


Notice they put Sophia in the jar she is holding and in the reflection too . . .

This one is my favorite

Although I like this one too . . .

This pictures are beautiful! Sophia makes such a pretty fairy.

Wow - back to back ruins tours - that's a lot of rock. we are doing the Kohunlich tour on CM. I am a little apprehensive about a 2 hr. bus ride but we will try it.

your plans sound great.

I know! I know! Give me a chance here. I write down where I stopped noting the resies & pick up there the next time. Did Carla really book with DD? That is great!

Yes, I had booked the 1:15 Friday at CC with DD. I also booked Palo - Thur 7:30P and Palo brunch last month.

I was going to ask this very question. We are booked for sunday at 9:30.

Sunday 10:30 for us.

Yeah, and I get a home-cooked meal every night, and Amy's nickname is Cinderella . . .

hey 6 for me

Well, it seems so silly putting pyramid2000 down there...especially since I have met you. We have all been using our names more lately so this should help us a bit.

How cool on the Island tour! We are NOT cancelling that one now! There are over 30 of us on it. I know that others have booked it but not reported or I missed them.

Oh, I don't mean putting our real names!! That is fine.

I was referring that you put John1 and not just John!

 

[elaineteresa]

mathematically speaking - is 2 months considered several?

 

[Jhalkias]

Becka I have found you have to just let them do what they want. It makes life so much easier. Remember I have been married for 20 years so the advice has been tried and woprks.

"woprks"??????

Those pictures of Sophia are precious!

 

[pyramid2000]

Caroline, have you booked both of them already? If not....you need to so that you will be able to make that decision. Since Todd's tour isn't with DCL that shouldn't be a problem.

I didn't book the Dolphin tour in CM because Dina is too young. I have been poking around to see if it can be done privately, but the one in CM is for cruise ships only.

I have to say thank you to everyone for their support & help last night even though everything may not have ended as hoped. I have NEVER been part of such a wonderful group of people. Kim & Carla....you two didn't have to be there with us at 3 am however your presence really helped everyone who was waiting for the 90 day mark to arrive. Checking availability and times for excursions still showing open on your own reservations was extremely helpful for the pre booking planning. Both of you also cancelled your Palo resies in order to see which times were still open so that we had a chance to select a couple of alternate times. Kim, I feel terrible about your CC booking being so messed up now when you were trying to help us out.

Everyone else in chat last night was also great. I remember Caroline had a problem with the Dolphin excursion and several of you walked her thru finding the correct excursion. Someone also checked the times available for the stingrays at CC to make sure that there was still an 11 time before I cancelled the 10 am that showed up incorrectly after there wasn't even a 10 available for me to choose from. I would have rather rushed to make it to the 10 am than risk losing out completely. All of the encouraging words for all of us who had problems with the stupid system really helped me get thru what would have otherwise been a horrible experience. (OK it still stinks but the tears only lasted a few minutes versus hours if I had been on my own.)

Thinking about the 6-8 hours I spent chatting to you while trying to go to sleep at 5 am this morning...well, that is why we can't stay away from the thread here, why we end up driving our SOs a little mad with our DIS adiction that they just can't "get", and why we check the thread every so often hoping to see another post...which we know will be there, and much more than all of the misspellings and inside jokes that would drive others away. I have only met a few of you yet I have never felt this close to a group of people since I was in high school. Over the past year or more for some of us...we have shared everything together......births, deaths, illness, seperations, celebrations, birthdays, kids, and everything else that could possibly happen to someone.

I am excited for our cruise to get here ~ probably more so than any of the other cruises ~ not just so that we can cruise with the mouse again, but because we will be cruising with all of you! As sappy as this may sound ~ it is true. I am very proud to be a part of this group and I hope that our friendships last far beyond disembarkation on 12/16/06.

I plan on taking my digital camera up with me for some awesome shots of CC and the Magic.

Anyone else plan on doing so?
