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

I saw that on Travel Channel too. Also, The Wonder is the cover story on April's Cruise Travel Magazine. There's not any information about the upgrades but there are finally some photos of the bunk beds that make sense to me.

I spent all morning going to a funeral for DFLDWDGA (My Father-In-Law's Wife's Great Aunt). The weather is sunny and warm this afternoon but was grey and dreary this morning.

Lillygator, take care with that wheezing. We've been there and it's no fun.

P.S. did you know we have a BAD GIRL among us? Let's gossip about her.

Today's countdown project. Alter DD's dress and make progress on door signs.

LOL! We have our own pictures with her & Charming and the princess.

We watch that Magic special all the time when the cruise gets closer. I just had the WEIRDEST dream. OMG! We were on the Magic & it was in port...possibly St. Thomas or St. Maarten. I say that because there were lots of those small islands that really look like big rocks sticking out of the water. I was somehow invited to tour a new DCL project. I remember John's wife, Vanessa, & Cristi were there with me. We got in a limo & Roy Disney was there. We drove along the outer roads where you could see the rocks...only there was something different. There were cripts on them. Some had stone trelises (sp?). There were Disney characters carved in the stone on the outside of the cripts. This was their new graveyard at sea. This was so that people could spend eternity where they were happiest during their life. They didn't have to die on the ship to be buried there. He talked about how they were reinforced to prevent pirates from tampering with them. I swear all I had for lunch was a salad from Chick Fil A! That Irish coffee last night might still be affecting me. When we got back to the pier we asked if this had to be kept quiet or if we could share with our "friends." He said of course you can tell the DIS.

It looks like DH has fixed our computer connection problem for now. He disconnected the cable to the upstairs TV out in the garage. The computer has been flying along all day!!! I hope that fixes it. Now to figure out how to get TV upstairs since that is how I get DD to go to sleep when he is gone.

Just wanted to let you all know Spencer got first place at his match again today. Wyatt didn't place this time. I also wanted to let you know my DH had a dream last night that he was packing for our cruse. He read a page or two off of a tipping thread here last saterday when we were at my moms. So when he told me that I said see the dis is add. isn't it? lol I asked him what was he packing, ect, ect ect. Guesse maybe I should move the new luagage out of the living room and upstairs, before he starts having nightmares. Well i'm off two bed. good night

 

[lbgraves]

ROFL! Congrats to Spencer!!! I'm sure that Wyatt did a great job too.

Hi everyone! We are back. I had a WONDERFUL time! Life changing...Job changing....heart changing.....
I hope everyone is doing great.

 

[mum of two pirates]

Congrats Hope it all works out for you. Anyone have a button maker they want to get rid of. We are thinking of making buttons with the wrestlers pictures in them for thier parents. Brenda

 

[MommyMinnie]

Hooray GoofyFD! Inn'it great when things work out?

Sorry, no button makers here.

Today's countdown accomplishment: purchased magnetic frames for the door signs.

Catch ya tomorrow we are out for dinner tonight.

Hope that everyone had a good weekend! DH arrived in DC a little while ago & this week is going to be another busy one at the school. I am going to practice saying "No!" a bit this week. There is more going on & I just need to keep some time to go to the grocery store. We are out of milk. They tried to get me to proctor for the EOGs in May but I said no. Three days out of one week 2 weeks before school gets out? I don't think so! That is precious time that will be over once school gets out in June. Maybe when DS reaches 3rd grade I will feel connected to it...but not now.

Nice to hear....PM me with more details.

 

[jordanyosh]

So crazy busy lately not much time for the net.... That picture that Lisa posted brought back such great memories. Could use a vacation right now......

Got together last night with friends with college. We were all in the same dorm freshman year....25 years ago...yikes. Good times with great friends.

WE'RE BACK!!! We had an absolutely fabulous trip to DL. Most of the chaparones spent alot of time with adults, or in the parks alone, but DH and I spent the whole time with at anywhere from 6 tp 10 kids with us. We had a ball and they are such good kids. They all call us Grandma and Grandpa now and bought us a Beaty and the Beast Rose in a musical dome as a thank you for spending time with them and showing them around the parks!

The kids did an awesome job with their musical program at DL. At the clinic with Disney music staff they were given music to sight read and play. DrHug was with them and he said that the staff told them they got futher (to more difficult material) quicker than any group they could remember. They also recorded them with scenes from the movies containing the music they were playing. I can't wait to see that at their concert this Thursday.

The kids also did an amazing job when they did their performance at Carnation Plaza. There were several folks watching that commented to us on how good they were compared to other HS bands they had watched earlier in the day.

We got to meet up with Brack twice. His DW, Annette, was in conference sessions so we did not get to meet her, but do look forward to that in Dec. Hi, Brack!

All in all a very good weekend for us.

Jordan/Wendy, sorry we did not get to see you this trip. We did get our AP and will be back May 31 for several days. Hope to see you then!

My SpoiledBrat! Glad to see you back on board!!

 

[MrsMork]

Mark, sounds like your weekend went great. I'm happy about that.

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Hello Everyone. Sounds like we all had nice weekends.

My DSs both got into Pirate play acting so I had to open up the stash of pirate stuff I had started collecting....we put on our Disney CC CD thanks to Andy and Kristina and they even rented Pirates of the Carribean. Not sure what to attribute it to, but we had fun. Last night when I was trying to figure out dinner my DS asked what Pirates eat....I answered, Pizza of course! So we had pizza last night.

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Surely my countdown clock is broken....we can't have 8 more months to go!!

Ugh!!!

 

[MrsMork]

Yes, your countdown clock must be broken....we'll ask Mark. Mark, we were wondering

 

[mum of two pirates]

its about right, what I have is 253 days tell our vacation. I added 11 days to that and came up with 264, so it is somewhere close. my count seems to be 8 m 2 w and 6 days. Or 8m 20ds, or STILL WAY TO LONG!

 

[mum of two pirates]

Thank you so much for the c.d. ,It came today along with wyatts new cruise c.d. we orderd (DCL said there was a new c.d. with info on costa maya on it) We got the new c.d. but no costa maya info in it, or I also didn't see anything in the book about tipping. The one thing I did see was a check off this and on it was "find the "hidden" aft deck" what do they think they are doing.
Thanks again Goofy, the music was playing over and over and over. My DH said good thing I have FT tonight. I can listen to it all I want.
