12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 7

[MrsMork]

Sometimes I forget you're on the West Coast, and then you post something about making dinner or breakfast or heading to work... and I think, why is she just thinking about dinner NOW?!

And we slept in this morning. I did not wake up until 8:30 which is way late for me. DrHug does sleep until 10 every chance he gets.

That's weird -- the banana smilie isn't jumping any more. Oh drats, I broke the banana smilie.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....DO not even JOKE about that!!!!!

Angie - Happy 39th Anniversary!! Oregon is one state I've never made it to.....unless you count flying into Salem once. We were on the same 10-night Christmas cruise in 2004! Can't wait to see the Magic all decorated again!

Wow! the 10 day DISers were a really fun group too! We have stayed in touch with several of them. One of those DISers is how we got the invite to Club 33.

Yes, but you have to drive to Buffalo in December!

True, they get way more snow and ice then us being on the south side of the lake. Last cruise was in Jan. and it took 20 minutes to chip all the ice off the car windows, lol. I am leaving on the 4th from Toronto, and staying at an airport hotel the night before my flight, which is now at 5:50 am instead of 5:15 am, lol.

Karen or Kristina - can someone outline for me what your plans are for tomorrow -

We are having a wild fantasy of flying down and meeting up with everyone.
Would we be crimping your style if we joined in? I'm sure my 5 yr olds will be more interested in the rides than the craft fair but hopefully we could join everyone for lunch or an early dinner before we head back.

elaine

which airport would you be flying to? (selinsgrove maybe or does bloomsburg have a small field)

Our most concreted plans include meeting at the big ferris wheel at noon. (cause that's when the armbands start for rides) You can buy individual ride tickets before then but most rides will not open until 12 either.

I can pm you my cell # if you have ?'s.......

Just remember my compass points to what one desires

hmmm, must be careful then.

Actually - I want to do laps around the deck...anyone rather be outside than in the gym?

I actually want to do some on deck 4 and up on deck 10 as well, what better way to see more of the ship! I am interested in the walk a mile program, but don't know if I could keep up. How many times around deck 4 is a mile, 4 or 8 times?

[lillygator]

is everyone at work?

 

[ds2Mom]

Exercising on the ship -- Confession straight away here. I'm not my former thin self any longer. I'm fluffy! The only stretching I do on cruises is to reach across the table for the last bite of DS's Mickey waffle!

 

[lillygator]

I am leaving today at 3:45, because I can!

I have to go home and clean house though. My mom is coming to babysit tomorrow and it looks terrible!

 

[DisneyVegas1]

DisneyVegas1 -- Do tell, do tell! The newbie poster needs details!

And speaking of details -- a few hundred posts ago someone mentioned "should we tell her about the bananas?" What's up with that? Or do I really want to know??

Okay , the short story is , I know someone who has ins with Disney and they Actually have JD's Costume fron the first movie ...Disney thought POTC would be a flop and sold everything through Ebay ...Now my friend made my costume with the exact materials used in everyway ...the buckles , buttons beads , everything he casted molds and of course they are exact as well ..So here I am in all my glory for you to see

 

[MrsMork]

Goofy has a workout on Castaway!

Pj

I get my once a year workout on CC. Running (for a hammock ), biking and snorkling. We call it our yearly triathalon. Run, bike, swim.

 

[lillygator]

I'm all for exercise on the ship....the pricing kind.

 

[lillygator]

are we going to hit 50k prior to the cruise?

 

[klineyqueen]

That is the extent of my real exercise plans as well!!!!!!

Kristina - amazingly there are about 4 small airports all within about 20 miles of each other. we are flying to Shamokin - Northumberland county. It is south of Knoebles but very very close.

We can ship the hubbies off for a sightseeing flight if they are bored.

The Knoebels phone message says they will have limited food - is everyone bringing snacks or not necessary? thanks for the info about the armbands - we will probably just wait until they are being sold. I don't think we will arrive much before noon anyway.

I am so looking forward to meeting this group especially since Caroline will be in late dining with us. It will be fun for the kids and make the trip seem more real to them.

Price check on Deck six please ....

Brandi - thanks

OMG - it is all coming together. There is a little airport about 4 miles from the park. The weather is supposed to be great. The airport has a loaner car for us - who knows what we will be pulling up in.

I just threw this out to hubby as a lark because I know he hasn't flown in a little while. LOL.

I don't want to hold anyone back about what they would like to do during the day but we would love to meet for lunch or dinner and some rides.

Is the plan still to meet at the ferris wheel at noon.

Should I PM someone my cell phone etc. Things always have a way of going wrong when it comes to flying, so it may be that we will get held up.

My hubby's name is Ken. The kids are Giona (jonah) and Jaea (jaya). Our pic is on the bio page so you will almost recognize us.

I am so looking forward to getting together with everyone.

I have all #'s in my phone.... Please note though that cell coverage is spotty at the park and surrounding area due to topo.

You could pm your #.... and yes noon at the big ferris wheel. (or try to call us when you land, if you're running behind. There should only be possible cloud cover but weather hasn't said rain for tomorrow.)

 

[klineyqueen]

are we going to hit 50k prior to the cruise?

Uh...YES

 

[ds2Mom]

DisneyVegas1 - OMG! Can I bribe you to have your picture taken with what will definitely be awe-struck 10-yr. old and 7-yr. old boys?? Can I pay you BIG money for a photo op?? That is the coolest pirate outfit I have ever seen, hands down! What a coup!!!
