[dee47]

is that a real picture of the Flying Dutchman with the ship or is it a manipulation? its a decent manip if it is.

The Flying Dutchman is now docked at CC. It's real.

I just bought some swashbuckling boots for my pirate costume! I'll try and get pictures of them up soon...but it's storming right now and I don't know if I should leave my computer on...

So there was a post here that i deleted because i answered my own question. I can't wait to see the Flying Dutchman. I didn't know it was staying at disney. They must have finished all photography for the movie otherwise it wouldn't be there. Doing a ship like THAT is CG is really really expensive. lol.

Just an update for those diving at Key west...i need to have FINAL conformation no later than August 31st. mom is making ressies BEFORE the excursions are released and people realize there is no scuba through disney. lol. And we are organizing a dive group Antigua as well. Contact me if you are interested in that.

Is DCL doing any scuba excursions on Antigua? I keep trying to get to DCL's site but it keeps closing down, something about an add-on causing a problem. I have never had that before!

 

[KSDTink]

Just a reminder, please let me know your preference in stocking character! I am personalizeing them with everyone's DIS names so I'd like to try to get you the one you'd like. There is still a pretty good selection left but the longer you wait the less likely you'll be to get your first choice. Here is what we have:

Hercules - 2
101 Dalmations - 4
Seven Dwarves - 4
Cinderella - 3
Dumbo - 1
Lady and the Tramp - 6
Peter Pan - 3

Do you know about how much the Key West dive will be? Hmm...and the Antigua one? Might as well try and do as many dives as posible!

no they aren't.

Here is the website for our friends in Key West. We dive with them so often, they know use. http://www.captainscorner.com/

I am emailing the people in Antigua.

DH will be a definite for Key West and probably for Antigua too. I don't think he is going to do anything but dive on the islands! LOL. That's ok. But that means on the sea days he gets to sit at the pool with DD while I do other stuff!

 

[KSDTink]

Are we still wanting to do shirts? We have a local company that does tshirt printing and someone told me the other day that right now they are selling blank shirts for about $4.95. I don't know how that compares to what anyone else can find but I thought I'd mention it.

 

[KSDTink]

Since I know DH will be diving on St. Maarten and St. Thomas and I want to go see the islands and do some shopping I thought I'd see if there was anyone of a similar mind who might want to join me. I had also thought about possibly doing the Under 2 Flags Island Tour on St. Maarten if anyone was interested in joining me. On St. Thomas I'd like to shop and sightsee but was also thinking about taking DD on the Atlantis Submarine Adventure and maybe going to Blackbeard's Hill. Has anyone done any of this things and have comments or suggestions??

I think my sister has done that tour. I'll ask her about it when she gets home from work. We'll most likely be diving on St. Thomas...but we will also be doing a LOT of jewelry shopping! T-shirts sounds like a cool idea...I remember they had them on the last Christmas cruise...and Holly was upset that she chose not to get one. Man...this cruise is beginning to pile up the expenses. I can feel my wallet getting lighter already.

They have the Disney logo shirts at disneyoutlet.com; they were $3.99 but are now $5.99. They have the logo on the front but we could put something on the back.

All of a sudden I am starting to feel like time is running out for cruise planning, and still over 4 months to go! Since I can't make ressies until 75 days out, I am worried that the excursions I want will be full. Right now we are really wanting to do the Brig Unicorn, and also the 12-metre Regatta in St. Maarten. Other than that I think we will be exploring on our own. That pirate museum in Key West looks pretty good so we might do that.

Did anyone see Johnny Depp on Letterman last night? I recorded it so I can watch it a few more times.

I saw the shirts and that would be fun. I know Jen was working on a design but I haven't heard anything on that recently. If we want to have matching shirts we need to come up with something soon I would think! Just no green, I cannot wear green!

No Didn't even know he was on. I have a huge poster of Captain Jack in my office at work, though, so I get to look at that all day. I guess that makes up for it, eh?

 

[KSDTink]

So who makes up the smilies and how do we get them to make us a Captain Jack Sparrow one????

 

[karylrocks]

Sorry you missed it Kat! Actually, there is nothing quite as endearing as watching Johnny just be himself. It was a great interview. I wouldn't have known it was on if DH hadn't told me; he's the TV watcher of the family.

Yeah, we definitely need a Captain Jack smilie! This pirate one is getting worn out.

 

[Denise Escola]

Hi everybody!!!

Long time no post. Sorry. Been busy with the business.

I haven't planned a thing for the vacation. All I know is that I want to go to the beaches. We just took taxis last time. Might try going through the cruise line this time. Not too sure though. I know there was talk about getting a shuttle bus for a group. The pirate cruise of course, and I thought a kayak excursion would be cool.

Well I have to get out of here and get into some A/C. It's been HOT. Reached 111 last weekend. whaaa whaaa whaaa.

TGIF -D

I know. I wish I could have seen it

Yeah! Pirate Cruise on St. Lucia! I am definitely signing DD and myself up for the morning one as soon as we can get online and do that, though I can't seem to get on their site at home right now .

Hey Denise....What character do you want on your stocking???

Peter Pan Peter Pan!!!! I believe in fairies and I won't grow up. You can just put D on it. You all know me with that sign off anyway. Thanks.

Have any of you guys that have little girls read the Disney Fairies series yet? My DD loves them. And yesterday I found the dolls that go with the stories.
