Did Sue get a top!

Sue, of course! He usually stays in the cabin, but he'll come out for special friends.

OK, may have an explaination for "Disney's mess up". When I made reservations over a year ago I asked for early dining and none was available. They put me on the wait list, but told me that since we are not traveling with children there was not much hope of getting early dining. Well, guess what!! They have moved us to early seating, AND moved all those linked to our reservation as well. I just talked with them and believe it is straightened out. We are moved to early seating and all those that were linked to us are remaining on late seating. I will pm to make sure that we get linked with the early group now. Sorry for the confusion, but I am happy. We won't have to go to bed with stuffed guts!!

Hi Angie:

I was arranging the "2nd" group (I think Virgil is part of the "1st" group) of late seating which you had been linked to. Since I booked with Dreams I had to arrange this through them. For my own piece of mind I would like to have them confirm that all is as it should be with everyone else's request. Did you go through DCL direct and do you know who you spoke to in case I need to throw a name around?

Thanks
Mary Ann

Also a big, high up Walt Disney Company cast member will be sailing with us! He did say who but I feel its probably not appropriate I say who at this time,at least right now. No its not Micheal Eisner but someone pretty cool.

MICKEY?????

Mary & Mark are my parents/owners.

And as promised there is a story behind it. One that I'm not sure any of you know.

This is part of a PM I got this morning from Virgil:

"Watch and see if you notice MarkRG and Bear on at the same time....

I'll be sleeping... so the detective work is up to you...."

So I'll give him the credit for tipping me off. Before then I didn't have a clue who it was. It was a really fun game though. Thanks for sharing.

And, a beautiful story of how Bear came into your lives. I could tell Bear looked VERY loved--not your typical sit-on-the-shelf-and-collect-dust kinda bear.

I've got a Curious George that is about 33 years old now who literally went EVERYWHERE with me---even somehow showed up at my WEDDING!! I know how special those bears (or monkeys) can be when you REALLY need them!

Great job, Mark and Mary!!

Close - my guess would be Ducky Willams. He often goes on some of the special cruises.

What about the pin guy? Scoops or something...

A small note on that - The 'on' thing only works if there's activity. I actually had the notebook up all day yesterday logged in as me and the desktop pc logged in as Bear. But it would only show them as 'on' when I actually did something.

Thanks, hoped it would be a fun time.

Karen - you did great detective work. If you had searched a little deeper on our website (monorailgreen - not just the 10 day site) you would have found the picture of bear on CC.

 

[WVMD]

Somewhere..... (maybe deja vu all over again... ) I seemed to remember something about a bear.....

Mark or Mary must have said something early on in the thread........I wasn't going to go back and read from the start again.....

I figured - if we were still stumped today - I'd PM a moderator and see what the IP address of the poster might have been.

But see, you guys were not suspect. After all, Mark was saying things like "this bear thing is funny" and you were coming up with clues of your own, so you were throwing out the red herring!!

I was having fun asking a bunch of goofy questions though!

It reminded me of how my kids play 20 questions. Instead of saying "is it a boy?" they jump right in with SPECIFIC questions. I'm always reminding them to narrow it down first before getting specific. So what's one of my first questions...."Do you know anything about drywall?" HA!

I was gone for quite awhile during the early stages of the thread.

 

[ohiominnie]

Let me explain about my absence, because it says loads about all of you people....

I started this thread ....almost 18 months ago. The excitement was high, we had just booked, it was fun to see who was going. But then, real life got busy. We started school again, people were dropping from the cruise, we had several other vacations to "worry" about during that 18 months....so I faded away.

I kept the thread on my subscribe list, and occasionally I'd check in and lurk, but everyone seemed like such friends and knew so much about each other. It was hard to even follow it b/c everything was so specific. So I'd read a couple pages and then go away.

Then one day I decided to jump in and it was amazing....everyone welcomed me back with open arms, got to know me, and just accepted me back into the fold without question!! I'll tell ya, you guys are one good group of ppl!

I'm glad I came back b/c I'd probably be sad seeing you all on the ship having sooooooo much fun!!! But now I'm going to be a part of that!!!

Thanks guys!! You'll be forever friends!
