12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 6

[DisneyVegas1]

You know this movie better than I gave you credit for.

I never thought of doing different versions of Elizabeth. Good thinking! Anna Maria Rocks She is my absolute Favorite.

Who was Tia Dalma? If she is in POTC 2 it's no wonder I don't know who she is.

Of course we could always drop back to the POTC ride and do the "wenches" on parade including "RED".

We Wants the Red Head , We Wants The Red Head

 

[lbgraves]

Thanks for doing that John. I also started looking for pirate flags...my boys would love to have one....maybe I'll still get one and we can have several.


On another thought - maybe we still should do the lime green one with Lisa's face on it! Like our "Queen" flag!!!

Ummmmm.....NO!

 

[lbgraves]

The funny thing is...I booked the tour on a lark and had no idea so many green people were going to be on it.

See your programing is so well done that you can sense the message even if you don't read it here.

 

[lillygator]

I wonder how many those cat's hold? I was going to try and add my dad and his gf too...but we'll see what's left at the 75 day mark! Anyone else going to be up that night?

 

[lbgraves]

My Kids want me to make lunch...can you imagine...wanting to be fed at 12:15!

Honestly! Kids today!

 

[lbgraves]

Okay I have been thinking about this , since we are going to be making a spectacle of ourselves on Pirate Night (well probably everynight ) I was thinking ...How many of you have actually gotten your DH's thier costume ??? Wouldnt it be great if we had the whole cast of POTC ??? We have enough people in our group that could look like all the charcters and it wouldnt take that much ...there is so much out there on the internet now through ebay and other resources that almost everyone could be one of the charcters ...So ...Heres just a little list that maybe you could add your hubby to one of the names ...Now I know the kids are going to dress like me and of course Davy Jones and ETC ..I would just like the Adults to try ..LOL

Captain Jack Sparrow - Me

Elizabeth -

Will Turner -

Captain Barbosa -

Commadore Norrington - (drunk Version would be funny)

Davey Jones -

Pintell -

Ragetti -

Mr. Gibbs-

Tia Dalma -

Bootstrap Bill -

Governor Swann -

Did I Miss any of the Other main Charcters ???? So if you have any questions about the charcters or need pictures to help make a costume I will help in anyway ..

I already have DH's pirate stuff. It is a simple outfit. A long sleeved black poet shirt with the lacing at the neck. He wears black jeans with it. He wore a red sash with it last year but we could get a couple of accessories to add to it. Where would he fit in?

Okay , what is everyone

Not sure, Captain! Patsy doesn't come around often so who knows what she has been doing.

 

[tynkerbell]

DH and I already have our costumes...

I know we all love the DIS board , but I am sorry A pirate flag is black and white ....NOT LIME GREEN ...

Captain Jack Sparrow , would never march under a Lime Green Glag

It isn't a Pirate Flag...its' our Queen's Flag!!!

 

[lillygator]

I think that Diana will be.

well hopefully I won't be the only one up.

As far as beads Lisa, I was talking necklaces....Angie then spoke up and said she would like to do that.

 

[lillygator]

PJ - I am so lost on that post - but since you and several others are well gifted in the techie department maybe you can help me. Is there an ipod for juniors? Samantha has recently discoved an ancient portable cd player and she loves it. She is just not to delicate when it comes to changing out the cd's...I was thinking an ipod dealie would do the trick but don't want to spend lots of $$....any suggestions?

WAY COOL, John! I guess that we need to start sharing our surprises a bit more? LOL! Some people have been pming me with special things that they will be bringing for the cruise but want it to be a surprise because it is unique. That way if someone asks if something is being taken care of, I will be able to respond.

OK I will just have to tell everyone mine! Can't have any fun around you guys can I?

I got a HUGE box of random items from Oriental Trading Company that have one special theme that is close to my heart: SMILIES!!!!!!!

I have pinwheels, pencils, stickers, pens, key chains, hats, erasers, stickers (including some pirate smilie stickers ), etc.. all with a smilie theme!

Alas there are no banana smilies.... but I think they will be fun anyway. They are at least yellow....

OK Lisa - add it to the website the secret is out. How many of you already guessed when you saw the OT catalog?
