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

[OKWMEMBER]

MOM!!! Nikki's poking me!!! Can I poke her back? WHY NOT???? And,and Dean's touching my side of the thread!!! Make him get back on his side!!!

Do I do that good or what???

 

[shingle]

right we have opened the docs and we have been upgraded from 6581 to 7514, we booked through dreams unlimited hopefully you guys should receive yours any time, and with a bit of luck gary can keep busy altering our stateroom numbers due to futher upgrades. Maybe we have received our docs a little earlier because where overseas but thats just a guess

 

[dheller97]

MOMMMY! Shingle got an upgrade! Can I have one too? And, Gary is better at this game than me!

Dean

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Oh man!!! Shingle did the double whammy on us!!! Got her docs first AND an upgrade!!! I'm going off to my corner and sulk for a while now. It's all Dean's fault!!!

 

[kmc33]

Way to go shingle!!! Congratulations!!!


I was ready woohooo a response when I read you got your docs, then I decided to read down the thread first so now a double woohooo you got upgraded too. I booked with DU too, but I don't want to get my hopes up.

I think I'd better go get the mail!

 

[kmc33]

No docs in the mail. That would have been a nice ending to what has been a pretty crazy week.

Here's hoping they all come soon!

Have a good weekend!

 

[Cap]

Kim,

When I got my docs last year, they didn't come in the mail. They came by one of the delivery services - I can't remember if it was FedX, UPS, or Airborne. So ... you've got to check more than your mailbox.

 

[Cap]

Shingle,

We're glad you got your docs, but Judi and I are jealous! Ours have to go to our TA, and she's so busy traveling, that I'm afraid there may be a delay. We just got our excursion info in the mail today.

Team - since I'm older, can I get my docs next? Please, please, please.

 

[dheller97]

Nice try, Cap, but I called "next" first so I should get them. But, since we booked thru a TA, and air thru DCL, I'm beginning to come to terms that somebody else may cut in the line ahead of me, again

Dean

 

[Cyberkashi]

Shingle!!! That is VERY cool that you got an upgrade.


Getting the docs will remind me of all the things I haven't done yet...booking excursions, renting a car, booking the hotel before the cruise, blah, blah, blah.

HEY DISNEY....keep my docs for a while until I get caught up. As soon as I get them I will need to fill out MORE paperwork. Work...work...work.

I need an extra week this year. LOL

 

[auntrenae]

HI everyone,
I've been off for a few days because of holiday preparations.
I just read the post by Jami about the stingray 'sucking' incident... please tell me you got pictures!!! That's better than my 'finger chewing' story! I'd almost want to put the juice on my suit to see them do that. He he he...
I put the food in my hand wrong this last time and one sucked my middle fingers into it's mouth and did it's best to eat them. I had to be very insistent to get them back! It didn't hurt much, it was more concern that I would have to fight hard, but it was ok. For a couple of hours I had the pattern of it's bite plate on my knuckles, but it was just a new experience...
One bit of info for you first time snorkelers, if you want to do it more than just once, buying your own gear is nice, you get some that really fits and you don't have to swap spit with whoever used that rental equipment last. Just a thought. Ours only cost us about $40 each for everything at Gart sports. We take it on all of our cruises and whenever we go to the beach now. It's handy, and cheaper than renting it just a few times.
have a great day all, and don't be jealous of Orlando weather, it was almost down to 30* last night!

[OKWMEMBER]

Nice upgrade, Shingle!!! You went from an Inside Category 11 stateroom to an Outside Category 8 Stateroom! We're in a Category 10 Inside stateroom. It would be nice to have a window.
We got Category 10 to get the split bathroom, his and her sinks!

 

[Cyberkashi]

Renae,

I agree with you completely about owning your own mask and snorkel. I picked up three of them at Toys R Us a few years ago and we still use them. I should really think about upgrading them for better gear though. Anyone know anything about snorkel equipment and what brands are good?

[Kabuli1]

How cool is that? We're looking for docs now??? Shingle, do they send out the farther away docs earlier just in case? I know that some people in the US have gotten their docs as late as two weeks before, or even less - that would be nail biting if you were coming from the UK! Any of us "Stateside" people get them yet? What a great Christmas present! I'm dealing w/ both DVC and Du for this one - it will be interesting to see if they come separately or together. Dean, they usually send out the docs that include air later than the rest. Sorry!

We have our own snorkel equipment - got really good stuff from a local dive institute. I needed corrected lenses because I'm so blind w/o my glasses. So while I was getting a really good mask, I also got a great waterless snorkel and fabulous fins (very nifty looking). I keep my snorkel stuff and special "cruise" gear packed and ready to go all the time.

So, who's packed yet? UGH! I said the "P" word!

It's 46 at 6am in Puyallup right now, and 14 here! And you wonder why I'm moving!

Tonight is the neighborhood progressive dinner that starts here w/ appetisers- I have much to do to get ready. But, instead I'm going back to see ROTK (again) w/ my best friend. The Randy Man says he'll do the cleaning while I'm out - what a guy! And my B-day isn't for 11 days yet!

Cheers to all!

[dheller97]

Karyn-

The 3rd part of the trilogy will start for us here today. We will drive the 40-45 miles to town and hopefully get tickets for a 2 PM showing. This is the first morning in a month or so we haven't had to drag Matt out of bed. He has to go out for a shoot around 9. But, then we're back on track and off to see the LOTR.

Have a great day! Not much longer!!

I can't do the document dance yet BUT I did get my Passporter in the mail yesterday... what a great book!!!

Sorry Dean, but if docs go to those who are the furthest away first, then we will have to nudge you out of second spot...

I haven't started packing yet, but I do have everything washed and my list is pretty much finalized... This time I don't want to be overburdened with luggage so I'm trying to pack smarter than I have in the past and not take my entire closet with me... (no comments needed from goofyaboutmickey7 about that one...)

I need to finish up with some Christmas shopping, and get the house clean, and then I think I can sit back and relax...

 

[Cap]

Annie,

When and where did you order your Passporter? I've had one on order since October 3 and it's been backordered.

 

[The4OfUs]

I went to the local Barnes & Noble and picked one up....are they generally hard to find? I didn't get the fancy one, just the paperback, but it's still a pretty addicting book.

 

[Annie12345]

Hi Cap - I ordered the DCL and the WDW passporter as well... I ordered them through Amazon and took about 10 days to come in...
- Annie
