March 16th for us! And then, being the SMART people we are, we went to Spring Break Central for our honeymoon...CANCUN! *grin*

I see Gail and Gary are from 91 as well...trendsetters, aren't we!

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Alrighty then!!! Ladies and Gentlemen (and guys, I use the term loosely), Boys and Girls, WELCOME TO THE 50 DAY DANCE!!!!!!!



Okey Dokey!!! Or is that Hokey Pokey

The time is flying by, isn't it??? I'm sure it is for Karyn!!! I'm buyin' you a boat drink at the sail-away party, girlfriend!!!

Yes, Nikki, I believe we ARE trendsetters! Gail and I got married at the Carribean Beach Resort (CBR) 11/21/91. So we had a wedding/honeymoon at WDW! What a concept!!!

500 posts!!! Talk about an active thread!!!

Note to all our Canadian friends, check out this link for the Get Fuzzy comic strip. Is Bucky right about Canadian money?

Canadian Dollars = Disney Dollars?

HADD!!!

Oh my, ever try dancin' the morning after your company Christmas party?

I just HAD to show my employees what a fool this old man can be and closed the place. So, really am dancing on my tip-toes this morning trying to be very quiet.

Happy 50 days and have a great one, everyone!

Dean, just think that you are sitting on the ship, on the sunny deck, with a cool drink in your hand, cruising slowly. Of course you've got your cruise hat on to protect you from too much sun!

 

[OKWMEMBER]

OK, Dean, I'll dance as quietly as I can. Have a good day and I hope you don't have to speak to God through the great white microphone, if you know what I mean.

 

[dheller97]

OK, all of my employees got their chuckles and grins in today about how rough I looked this morning. I don't know what they are referring to, afterall "it all comes from loving honey so much."

But now that I can open my eyes all the way I'm ready to dance!! Yippeeeee, won't be long now!!

Have a great weekend!

Dean

Hi fellow Disney Cruisers!

I am a bit late for the 50 day dance but rest assured I was dancing all day ... even got out the high heel sneakers!

Congratulations, Karyn, I'm sure that everything will go fine!

We're not part of the '91 marriage club but we are part of the March club - we got married March 31st...

Happy dancing!!

Hi guys, sorry I missed the dance! I'm trying to remember what I did instead.

So we now have a Contract Pending sign up, the key box is empty - but they couldn't take it down cause it's been so cold the mechanism is frozen! As soon as the buyer's financing goes thru we'll get the "SOLD" sign.

Busy weekend here, Today: cleaning and preparing tomorrow's lesson. Tomorrow: church, teaching, (NAP!!), decorating for Christmas, Survivor finale. Monday: (probably finishing the decorating) resting, reclining - getting ready for 14 straight hours of movie watching at Trilogy Tuesday in Chicago at AMC River East! Of course, Tuesday you all know where I'll be! After that maybe I can change my countdown clock.

Feeling a bit bah humbug about Christmas - wouldn't decorate if I hadn't foolishly volunteered my home for the neighborhood progressive dinner 12/20. As soon as it's over I will need to start the real packing.

Well, well, we aren't part of any marriage/anniversary club here - tho this June will be 25 years, if the move doesn't break us up! June 1979 in Wheaton IL. But I will be in the 50 club verrrrry shortly, tooooo shortly! Cheers Gary!

Have a great weekend, stay warm, think warm thoughts: Castaway Cay, Konk Koolers, sunset in Mallory Square . . .

Welcome to the Caribbean, love!

Karyn

Wow, I guess I really am the OLD one. Cheri and I will have to be the chaperones of the group.

According to Webster:

Main Entry: 1. chap·er·on
Variant(s): or chap·er·one /'sha-p&-"rOn/

1 : a person (as a matron) who for propriety accompanies one or more young unmarried women in public or in mixed company
2 : an older person who accompanies young people at a social gathering to ensure proper behavior; broadly : one delegated to ensure proper behavior

We've been married 37 years as of last November. She's still my best friend after all these years. Sorry, get kinda mushy when I think about her and me being together so long.

Dean

37 years, in this day and age, is not only wonderful, but an amazing accomplishment, and NEVER apologize for being mushy like that...if only MORE people did that! *happy sigh*

Been a rough couple of years for us, actually, but this cruise is also a chance for us to celebrate our very recent recommitment to each other, and with the kids so well "distracted", we hope to really reconnect! That's why we booked so late...and chose a cruise over the parks, where all we'd do is run around like crazy. We want to enjoy US rather than everyone else in lines and such.

Just finished "Xmas-fying" the house, and put up lights outside, just in time for MORE SNOW *sob*

Made the mistake of going to Target today...silly me...isn't it horrible how everyone gets so nasty at the time of year meant for exactly the opposite? My mother works for Macys, and the treatment she gets is downright dispicable - so I try to make up for it by carrying a bag of Hershey Kisses when I Xmas shop - and I give one or two to the clerks that help me out, to try to give them a smile. It's not fair that the very people that help us get our gifts for the season end up hating it because of how they're treated.

*gets off soapbox*

So anyhow...after my nightmare trip to the mall, I am trying to get in the cruise spirit with a small rum drink...who's with me...

 

[Annie12345]

Wow, Dean! 37 years... You must have got married when you were 12...

Gary, I thought that was a very cute joke about the Canadian $$ and Disney $$... it's getting better though!!!

HADD!!!

 

[Cap]

Dean,

37 years is great. Judi and I will celebrate our 36th on the cruise.

I'd say leave the chaperoning to the staff. Just plan to relax and enjoy so you can show your employees how young you are when you get back.

 

[dheller97]

Cap, I knew there was something I liked about you the first time I met you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The thought of chaperoning for this group was just a little scary. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't shirk any responsibility mind you, but.....

Have a good evening.

Dean

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Don't woory about being mushy, Dean!!! I married my best friend, too!!! We were married at WDW and celebrated our lucky 13th anniversary last month. It's the second time around for both of us and this time we got it right, dang it!!!

As for chaperoning, WHAT THE HEY!?!?! I thought we were going to party, dude!!!!! Who (besides Karyn ) am I going to tip umbrella drinks with? I agree with Cap, let the staff do the chaperoning, we were born to boogie!!!

Nikki, you are so right about the cruise versus the parks! It's an excellent opportunity to get reaquainted.:happy1:

Gail and I were on the Key West web sites today and we're seriously considering renting a scooter or electric car for the afternoon after we do the Trolley. Also, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory Astronomical Applications Department (NOAAD) (say THAT three times real fast!!!) the sun will set at 6:12 P.M. on February 1st. The Mallory Square web site says festivities begin about an hour before sunset. Those of us that have first seating for dinner (we do) will miss dinner in the dining room that night if you participate in the sunset celebration. We'll probably eat at Topsider's.

"Boat drinks!!! Waitress, I need two more boatdrinks!"

I gotta go where there ain't any snow
Where there ain't any blow
'Cause my fin sinks so low
I gotta go where it's warm!!!


HADD!!!

Annie,
I'm so with you on that souffle'
I have a funny story for you. On our last cruise in Oct. our son who is 21 was with us and at Palo, had his 'cool' fedora on. He does hat tricks with it and was doing it there. The manager came over to watch and asked our son to teach him how. He did, and the manager told me that if I would make Ben give him that hat, he'd personally deliver to me all the souffle' I could eat! I was pretending to think about it, but Ben said 'Hey, I bought this in Brazil and you can't give it away!!'. I knew it was special to him and would never do that, but it was fun to tease him. I do love that souffle' and would eat it every night if I could. One night I asked our regular head waiter if there were any chance he could get one for me, and the next night there he came with it just as I was about to dig into come creme brulee'... what could I do but eat both! What teriffic service that was.
I"m really getting excited now

Karyn,
I do think I'll just do the half day, but I haven't booked yet for the cruise, so I can't do it for excursions... We are waiting for Disney to open up the booking for cast members, and it's driving us nuts. They have the one before and the one after us, but they are eastern and we NEED to go western. Oh well we can wait another few days, I think!
As for the Cozumel fury catamaran, it is an AMAZING excursion The water is clear, the snorkeling is wonderful, the sea was calm when I went in Oct. If your hubby has a problem with being seasick, have you tried those acupressure wrist bands? That might not make him as woozy as pills do.
They take you to a great spot to snorkel and they give you tortillas to feed the fish. They come right away to eat them so you are surrounded by gorgeous fish! There is a photographer in the water who will take photos of you where you want them. When he took mine, he put some tortillas in the water and the fish all came, and then he took the photo. It was one of the best I have from the cruise. You have to pay for it, but it's so worth it!
After that, they take you to a beach for a party. I didn't like the sand, because it reminded me of quicksand, pulling at my feet, but that's just me. the water there is beautiful too, and was totally calm that day. I don't know about other times, but this day was PERFECT! I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Whoo hoo, so many replies overnight, I love this thread, it makes me feel that much closer to going!

Everyone remember, tonight @10pm, Travel Channel, DIsney Cruise Line...it's DIsney before too, but I HAVE to watch the last Survivor...

We're going to do the Fury Catamaran for sure, it's really the ONLY excursion we want to do thru the ship...Glenn said he's game and who knows, he does good with smaller boats - he had a problem when we took the ferry to Isla des Mujeres in Cancun, but that's a big lumbering slow boat and we were on the second floor (duh)...we took a small water taxi back, and he was FINE with that.

MORE snow tonight...oh joy. *sigh* Think
