Here is the Konk Kooler recipe that I tried at home. I thought it was pretty close to what we had on Castaway Cay...
1/2 can cream of coconut
3 ounces light rum
3 ounces dark rum
1/2 of a 12oz can frozen passion fruit juice concentrate (Welches)
4 oz of orange juice
2-3 cups of ice
Add all together in a blender until very fine and smooth
Sit on your beach chair on Castaway Cay and enjoy... or if that's not possible put on some Jimmy Buffet, think warm thoughts and put on your double digit dancing shoes!!!!

Goombay Smash

3 ounces of Pineapple Juice
The pride of the Carribean Beach Resort!
Dean, you and I are going to be dangerous on this cruise! I have several Carribean Soul t-shirts to bring along with my lime green DIS shirt, along with my Hawaiian party shirts!
"I was supposed to have been a Jesuit Priest or a Naval Academy Grad...."
Since we are flying to Orlando the day before the cruise, I am going to wait for everyone else and not officially do the DDD until Friday. Then I'm going to boogie down with my bad self!!!!!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Can't get these kind of recipes on the Food Channel!! Keep 'em coming!
Diggin' out some old tye-dyed shirts and dusting off the bandana as I stumble over my deck chair to put another tape in the 8-track.

We will definitely be getting DIS shirts, but I have to still work on DH to get him to wear the lime green... I'm pretty sure Gary will be able to help out when we see him next weekend! Right Gary?? BTW those drink recipes look great!!!

I have contacted a local outfit that does hats and visors!!! After talking to him on the phone, he can do monogramed hats and/or visors for about $12 a piece. I 'm going to meet with him Saturday to get more details. I would like a preliminary head count to see how many of you would be interested and whether you want a hat or visor. We can have both, it's NOT either or! Also , ideas for what to put on them would be welcomed! If there's a DIS rep out there, can we mention the DIS on them, such as "10/31/03 DIS Cruise"? Inquiring minds wnat to know!
The more we get, the cheaper they will be, obviously. He also said that USA made items are about $1 more, so you can also chime in on that for preference.
That's all for now. If you can, let me know by Friday night!
Don't trip over the cooler, Dean!!!

Ann, I got the lime-green t-shirt for me and the gray one for DW. Thought that way everyone could say look at that guy in his lime-green t-shirt tripping over his cooler and be the only one that would stand out like a sore thumb. Got notification the shirts shipped today.
Gary, count me in for whatever design everyone else likes. Will probably go with one visor and two hats. If theres anything I can help with, just turn down my 8-track and holler at me. Id be glad to help.
Karyn, hurry back! Im starting to slur my wordz and donut no if I kin safe yu a double digit drunk, or drink, until you git bak. My tongue is a-gittin in front of my eye teeth an kant see what Im sayin.
Have a good rest of the day folks. If you cant have a good day, have a cold Kooler!

Ok, ok, I'll dance a little! The cruise is such a reward, such a prize for what we're going to be doing in the meanwhile!
We had a nice quick trip to Lexington, KY. I'm such a proud mom watching my son perform! I wish we could bring him as well on the cruise - but that will have to wait till the 12/18/04 10 cruise. They frown on kids taking a week out of school when they are in college, imagine that! At my insistence, Miss Jill applied to UKy (mostly cause the application was so simple) and has been accepted. She swears she won't go there, but if she doesn't get busy w/ the apps for the places she is interested in, she'll be going there by default. That's ok w/ us, only one place to visit. Still don't know where our eldest will land when he finds a job - hopefully out west.
Got a job interview today for a part time, temp job till the end of January. I gotta get ready, oh, and there are still boxes to pack and rooms to get ready!
Dancing today!

I've got on my dancing shoes!!!
Welcome back Karyn -- you're not moving to Lexington now, are you?
We saw what happened the last time you took a weekend trip. Good luck on your interview!
Have a good weekend everyone! Get out your dancing shoes and fire up the blender!!!

I'm baaaaaack!
DW had surgery yesterday and family always comes first, especially when it is your best friend.
But, now I'm doing the double digit dance and kicking up the heels as high as an old guy can. So far, that's about a sixteenth of an inch. Here's a little food for thought:
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. "
~Frank Sinatra

"When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading."

Have a good weekend!

Another bump! Where is everybody? At least I've got an excuse!
Dean how's the DW? Feeling better?
Anybody want to come out here and spend a few days packing boxes with me? I've got a nice wine collection that we could make quite a dent in! You don't need to be totally sober to pack! And we could plan all the fun things we're going to do on the Magic!
Can you tell I'm getting desperate!

Good Morning!
Thank you for asking, Karyn. DW is MUCH better. I know what you mean about everybody in hiding. Maybe they don't want to be associated with a bunch of happy Disney drinkers, huh?
How's Jill holding up with all of the stuff going on? Matt's doing much better. We got him a new Sunfire so he's got wheels again and actually looking forward to the cruise.
If you come across your ressy numbers, let me know, please. Then I'll call and talk to them about joing your table for dinner.
Gary! Time to chime in, it is your turn. Not laid up with double-digit-itis, are you?
Have a good week, all!

Sorry team!!! I was on the road with my parents today!
Hang in there, Karen!
Dean, I never drink a drop! Or, is that drop a drink?
I will definately be trying some new boat drinks on this cruise.
HADD!!!

Dean, I'm glad DW and Matt are both feeling better. Wow, second new car in such a short time! Same color? Has he gotten his college apps done yet? I can't get Jill to write her "personal statement" she's claiming writer's block and hasn't gotten anything on paper for three weeks now! That's ok, she's been accepted at UKy (where her big bro is) - I don't mind visiting only one campus! But she wants a school in Florida - well, chickidoodle, ya gotta get that essay done!
Gary, I was missing you too! I don't have time to be here - but one needs a ray of sunshine in the midst of all the chaos.
"Double digititus!" That was too funny, it really made me smile. What are the symptoms?
Boat drinks! I want a boat drink!
In-laws (bless them) are coming today to help w/ some of the projects, gotta get ready for them!

Bump from page 3!
Karyn, we're just getting started now on our essay. Looks like he'll be staying in South Dakota at Northern State. We'll make formal application over the weekend. We went with him two weeks ago and toured the campus, met some of the professors, and he had lunch with some female friends while we ate with the tour guides. Yep, think he has the college itinerary down pat.
This is my first exposure to "double-digit-itis" so looked it up in the Goofy unabridged medical encyclopedia. It says that the person books a special event months in advance of when they really want to take a vacation. Then, they bet that they are going to get sick enough they can't go and buy insurance so they can get their money back. When the planner is 99 days, 23 hours and 59 seconds from the scheduled departure date, it is required that they start to act like a fool, jumping up and down, yelling and screaming that they have reached double digit status, and begin threatening to down repeated tropical beverages. At 60 days, the person realizes Disney has used his money without paying any interest so they promise to spend MORE by booking shore excursions. By the time they reach 30 or so days, or if they plan a cross country move for employment, they have gone completely cuckoo and can't think of anything else so they start digging up their yard and flower gardens. Must be a terrible sight.
Take care,
Dean
