20040131 ~ Cruising Jan 31 2004 Western Who's with us?

[Kabuli1]

I think my Randy should compete! He's just going to get no points in the dance component of the score! Now, if there was a talent component . . .

Renae, I figured you were busy on Wednesday! Sigh. I don't think I'll come all the way back to Downtown Disney from De Land - think I'll stay up there.

We could get cheese plates (from the room service menu) and wine glasses delivered to the aft deck - I've heard other groups doing that. So is our wine and book chat going to be a reality? Do I need to pack a couple extra bottles of something special?

Karyn,
Are we the only ones on here today?
I don't know about anyone else, but I'd really like to do the book thing. There's something about a bunch of people who all like to read getting together that really appeals to me! I like the cheese plate idea and we can't forget about those great cookies! I'm sure we can have all the drinks of every kind we want. For me, there will be a huge glass of lemonade from the deck 9 drink station. It's really good! Let's see if we can get everyone else to join us there. Now, how to make sure there is nobody else there at the time, especially people who may be smoking. That would make it so I can't be there at all...
ttfn, Renae

Karyn,
I forgot to mention that I have to work Wed. daytime, but please call me that night or Thurs. I have my cel with me always so I can at least say hi. I can't wait to meet you!

Whenever you hold this contest, make sure that i am FAR, FAR away... i don't really want to have my last memories of my dad in a speedo and a lime green fisherman's hat!!!

Soooo, we are headed up to Mitchell yesterday to pick up some last minute "necessities" and all of the sudden Cheri just bursts out in laughter. After she calms down and dries off the tears, I asked her what she was laughing at. And, I quote: "Those people on the board can't imagine what you'd look like in a speedo, and I can" end quote.

Now if that isn't a confidence builder, eh?

Dean,
If Cherie thinks you are that funny in a speedo, then we HAVE to see you in one just to get a great laugh! Don't worry, you won't be alone, we will all be there and Randy will be with you even if he has to do the contest in a chair! he he he he...

[dheller97]

abusymommy, where do you live? I'm in Wheaton (for about 3 more weeks). Are you flying out of OHare or Midway? We almost always fly down on Southwest, or sometimes ATA outta Midway cause we get the best times/prices.

Hi Karyn....We're from Lemont, not to far southeast of you. We are actually flying ATA out of Midway (159 RT). Can't beat that!! And it's alot easier than driving up to O'Hare.

Sounds like you are just about to move. Are you staying in the area or moving a far distance? Years ago, my parents owned a restaurant fairly close to you in downtime Naperville at Chicago and Jefferson. They owned the original Landmark restaurant, although they retired from the business several years ago.

I think I may have said in a previous post.....this is our first Disney cruise and we can't wait to go. We feel so unprepared compared to the veteran Disney cruisers out there. Oh well, we will muddle our way through it.

Pretty quiet out here tonight. Everybody must be busy packing. I'm all done - like cap said, how much room does it take to pack 2 t-shirts, 2-speedos and a bow tie? Anybody heard from Cap and Judi?

Where oh where did my little toque go?

You guys are really rubbing off on me! When i was checking movie times tonight i read "Toque" instead of "ToRque"!!! I'm really losing it!! Only 2 more days till i leave for Florida!! Hooray!!

 

[auntrenae]

Hey everybody,
If you will get here in Orlando before Friday night, pm me and I'll give you my phone #. Then if you need anything or just want to say hi, I can do that. We'll be running around with DFIL and friends, but will be available if anyone has problems,
see you all soon,
Renae

 

[dheller97]

I knew we'd get you sooner or later, Princess. It was just a matter of time.

I'm glad Randy is back too. Those "aaaarrrrgggghhhh's" kinda make the back of my throat sore after a couple of times, eh?

I checked out the weather forecast into early February for Key West, Grand Cayman and Cozemel. Looks like we're in for a lousy week. Only going to be partly sunny with highs in the mid-80's, Oh, well if somebody has to have it I guess it should be us, eh?

$50 for the RainForest Room sounds about right. That's where you'll find me most of the cruise. I only wish it were open later (it closes at 10 PM) so I don't have time after a late dinner to relax in the steam.

With so much to do before a double cruise, I had resigned myself not to read anymore post--but alas, I couldn't stay away.

So I caught up on the reading while I am sitting here burning CDs. Don't want to take the originals on board--just in case.

We leave Thursday am. and are staying in the Royal Plaza for a couple of nights--across the street from the Market Place. I got La Nubia tickets for Thursday.

We will probably go to Epcot and check out Mission Space on Friday. Maybe hop over to MK for the fireworks.

Speedy recovery and well wishes to those of you who are not feeling yourselves.
