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

[dutch_girl_scout]

We have Phase 10 but I haven't figured it out yet. My kids know how to play, I'll have to take lessons. You can't go wrong with SkipBo.
Penny--where do you get the countdown with the days? The days seem shorter than months.

 

[MrsMork]

I have a card game call phase 10, we could do a cards events!

Yes! Bring your cards. We have played Phase 10 also. We love a quiet card game on sea days.

Fruit?!? Who can think about fruit at a time like this? The closest I'll come to fruit on the cruise is ia strawberry smoothie with an umberella in it! Or as a topping on a big slice of cheesecake.

But, I love fruit on Deck 9 ! I didn't have to cut it or clean up afterwards. Am I that out of the loop on proper cruise fruit etiquitte.

"Yes! Bring your cards. We have played Phase 10 also. We love a quiet card game on sea days."

We played this game in our family long before we knew about phase 10, same concept, a little different in the tasks, and we called it "Screw your neighbour"

Your'e fruit etiquitte is just fine, I just don't do fruit. I haven't quite reached the healthy eating stage in my life, that's all. Some people are chocolate people, I happen to be a McDonald's French Fry person. No better stress reliever than a hot batch of greasy fries.

 

[pjpoohbear]

Dutch, I was a McD's worker long ago, and their fries are still a downfall of mine, I wish the DCL fries were more like theirs. Crispy, salty, hot, yum!

Fruit dipped in chocolate, is pure heaven, can you believe I have missed the midnight chocolate buffet on both cruises, I am so ashamed. I need a sponsor who will take on the task of getting me there this cruise.

pjpooh-

I too love the fruit on Deck 9 - I walk by several times a day just to see if they have put any mango out!! But watermelon is a good second choice - wish I had a bowl right now with or without chocolate. And the Quiet Cove pool.

I have made it to the chocolate buffet only once - and then did not get anything because of late dinner!! But next time - it is on the list! Be glad to make sure you get there, PJ.

 

[dutch_girl_scout]

A midnight chocolate buffet? I didn't know they had one, sounds like I might be the one for the job! Imagine that, another thing about DCL I didn't know. Thank goodness for the DIS boards. I did figure out what Mousefest was, my Passporter came last week. My Passporter Cruise Guide is supposed to come today.

 

[pjpoohbear]

I think we have a DIS meet, Chocolate Buffet 11:50 pm in the Artium, then the cove for coffee.

[GoofyFD]

I love fruit!!!!!!My kids will eat it till they are... well you know... regular

 

[pjpoohbear]

Now I have to make name tags or some kind of party favor, right?

Lisa, some guidance on this complicated matters, please!

[LiserAnn]

What are you guys looking forward to the most? Me, well this time since we are doing C/C twice spending a lot of time with my D/W at Serenity Bay. Playing with my kid's in the water and on the play ground thing in the water. Spending time with our friends, dancing and learning to make more towel animals!

Having never been to C/C (no C/C on the west coast cruise!) I think that's what I'm looking forward to the most since I've heard everyone rave about it. And some adult time to have a coffee or a drink while the kids are safely tucked away in the kids club is another "look forward to" moment!!!

I just booked my DVC stay for the week before the cruise, and ARGH, I'm out of points! (LOL, I just left a message for my guide to add on more points!).

So now I have ressies for Sun-Thursday and I have to figure out what to do on Friday night. We are traveling with one other family. I need 60 points for a 2 bd villa and I have 50, ugh. I have to wait till the 7 month window to book them on my VWL points. Or else we can all find another place to stay on Friday night. Now, I'm not opposed to staying cash one night at a deluxe resort or something -- that would actually be kinda fun -- but I hate moving in the middle of a stay, especially if we only stay one night. I need more BCV points!!!

I booked ours too! VWL Sun thru Thurs, but we hope to move those to OKW at the 7 month point. I wanted to book now though to make sure we have a spot as there are 12 of us. I did not have enough points at BCV for the 5 night stay for a 2 bedroom and a villa, so had to go with VWL. Not where we want to stay at all as we live in the fir trees and want PALM TREES!

I think we will book rooms at the port on Friday night. Couple of rental cars to get us there (minivan and an SUV).

 

[pjpoohbear]

I am suppose to call today too, will have to get out the cell phone and the 1800. I am doing a "for now" ressie at SSR, I really want to stay at WLV.

Ok, how am I going to catch up with you guys when I get back!?!? I may have to go online while I am onboard for classes, have to check with the professors, but I won't have time (or money) to read the boards! I'll probably have over 20 pages to read!!

 

[dutch_girl_scout]

Pyramid--I was wondering if you were still around or busy packing. I hope you don't have too much homework to do on vacation. I graduated from Central College last May, I'm sure we could share some non-traditional student stories. Have a fun trip with your girls.

Thank you Dutch Girl. I actually haven't packed yet. I kinda started... I'm thinking I shouldn't have any homework, but usually I have to at least sign in during the first week of classes online. They start next Tuesday, so I think I will be fine if I let them know I won't be around a computer...shhhh.
