.... LOL problem is... I hate to check them and I sure as heck don't want to drag them around the ship with me for a couple hours. Gotta have both hands free for that SHRIMP at lunch!!

I'm carrying on 22 bottles of wine (at last count) and you are concerned about carrying on a couple bags of pins.

Do what I do, strap it to the kids. If they want on the ship they will help carry wine.

Actually, I think I have a way to get it all into one backpack. I'm finishing my wine selection today and will try packing it tonight. We will see.

If they bring back Morty... that will be the night!! I've seen Herc several times too so that might be a good time. Keeping my fingers crossed for all kinds of special pins for Xmas, 10 Night, etc. We can hope!!

I've seen Herc only once. The family won't let me go anymore.

Apparantely there was a little problem with heckling from the audiance. I thought it was the guy next to me, but they say it was me.

DW and I were wondering at dinner last night, of course the only topic is the cruise, at AllStars Cafe about the picture directory of the kids so we could help everyone keep track of the kids.

Did that ever get pulled off? Haven't read anything in a while on this one.

 

[scuba diver]

Today is our local parade. DD's gymnastic group is in it. They tumble, cart wheel, or what ever during the parade. DS' ROTC also marches. They provide security for the parade. Don't mess with a parade with there are ROTC.

And for me today, off to a wine tasting with some friends. In fact, they received a wine delivery yesterday of some new wines. I'll be checking them out today and a bottle or two might show up on the cruise.

This wine tasting is a big day because the gift is usually a magnum of good wine in a specialtiy bottle.

 

[scuba diver]

While I am here I am going to set my self up for a TOP.

 

[scuba diver]

DW is up so time to get ready for Church.

TOP? or did someone me?

I wondered why he was not very talkative, but than after meeting you I understand. He keeps waiting for a pause in the conversation to say something and there never is.

Can you feel the love, right back at you.

Sorry, just could not resist. It was just to easy.

man alive. I've got you on my case and Kevin on my case. Maybe I shouldn't have started this thread....I'm taking all of the abuse here!!

 

[ohiominnie]

scuba diver--I remember reading on the main boards that you have to watch out for ants if you are parking at the port.

Judy...

I know someone has probably answered this......
We have parked at the port 4 times and have never had an ant problem. We try to be careful with crumbs on the trip down, but have never gone as far as vacuuming out the car. Once there was a discussion about ants on the main board and it was interesting--it seemed like the ppl who parked near the tree islands had ant problems more often.

So my advice is to park in the middle of nowhere. FWIW!

 

[ohiominnie]

Wow - you figured it out quick....

Virgil

Is there a smilie for giving you the raspberries??????

 

[ohiominnie]

I think that they should just have a DISer line.... I mean cmon.....It'll get us all out of the way... think how much quieter the terminal will be if we're already on board.....

Oh, I like how you think!! This is good!! We wouldn't have to have run of the ship.....just maybe the atrium!!

 

[ohiominnie]

The group on the DVC Member Cruise thread were amazed at the number of buttons made. We will have to do a reorder before we start on those. Of course we have 9 months

And I am SOOOOO excited we'll be sailing on that cruise with you again!!! It'll be so much fun to see friends!!

 

[ohiominnie]

Wouldn't that be a MOM???

BINGO!

 

[ohiominnie]

Lisa is just saying that SHE thinks the ones with all the smarts are the women.

She also thinks she is going to get 20,000

Ok, my dad told me a joke recently that is pretty funny....although totally NOT true, but remember, it came from a MAN....not sure if the DIS will allow me to say the anatomically correct name for male parts....it's much funnier if you use the "P" word....

Did you know that all babies are born with (boy parts)

Yeah, but they fall off the dumb ones!

HA HA HA...not.

And some of you wanted to eat at his table????

 

[All_Ears]

I'm in....

Oh by the way, just a thought.....is this a form of gambling?

Is anyone interested in meeting at one of the casinos on one of the islands for a DIS meet at a black jack table?

Gus

Gus, when we went 2 years ago, the Casinos we found we quite seedie looking - do you know of the "real ones" my DH would LOVE to go to a casino! This is the one thing he Doesn't like about the Dis Cruise - and this is one of the main things I LOVE about this cruise. We go to Vegas once a year for him and then we go to Disney for me! Tee.........he.e.....e.e.

I can't remember if it was St Maarten or St Thomas, went to the casino on the water front and when someone opened the door smoke poured out like the building was on fire. It was cigarette smoke so thick you could barely (oops) see the tables. Just turned around and went back to the Magic.

Good Morning Everyone!!![/COLOR]Ok, just catching up here - and I know most of you are not online - I really have to get in sync with your timing here - I am Missing out on all the fun!!!

This weekend was a wash for me - My cousin is a (new) principal of an elementary school and back in Sept - he wanted to have a Christmas Craft show as a fund raiser and to add to the community of the school. I took this on - and Saturday was the show. Everything went well - we had 37 juried crafters - it was a success! The fun part was talking to all of the crafters throughout the day - they were so happy with the type and level of crafters they were selling with - seeing it was a school! And that was my plan to make it a mini - professional show! But, boy am I tired now!

So I read through all of the pages I missed since Friday - and boy Stacey/Lisa you had me laughing................can't wait to hook up with you!

So much information on here!

Leslie and other Pin Traders - my son Chris - who pops in on these boards from time to time - Stitch5twosix - is a Pin Trader - will be binging a nice cross section of pins to trade with and is so looking forward to this cruise! It was his idea to come on this - while we were on the 2002 NYE cruise he just didn't let up on us - to make sure we booked this when it hit the market!

Matt - that is pretty neat with your DLC connection. It is fun know and talking to Management at Disney. We are very good friends with the Special Events Director for all of WDW - and when in the parks we always hook up with him and his wife - so funny to see how the other CM act when he is around! Back in 1997 we were at Disneyland Paris for their 5th Anniversary and he was there with Michael Eisner - he had helped coordinate the event. We were at the private birthday bash and I can share the details on the ship it would be just tooo long to type - But as we all Know Disney knows how to throw a party!!

The Highlight of this party was standing next to Mr and Mrs Roy Disney watching the Fireworks at the end of the night!!

And Leslie - Nothing wrong with being a Disney Wacko! others don't understand - and are not nearly as Happy as Disney Wacko's!! Believe me when people found out we were going to Paris for Disney's 5th Anniversay - well the talk was just crazy!.....................who care though!Gus, I hope you are in tip top shape and spirits for the cruise - you've been such a key player here!

Mary, you're the Best!! Can't wait to meet you!

Kevin - Thank you again for all of the ideas for the signs! By posting the links to your signs it really got me going!!

Virgil - what can I say - you are like the glue of these boards!! All around knowledge!!

Markg - you too!!

And all of the other regulars here - sorry for just naming a few - although I have looked at the pictures, Thank you, Mary, It is so exciting that in under 2 weeks we will KNOW each other.

Oh, Oh, one more thing! Stacey - my DH is warming up too!! He is not a computer person and just thinks it is wild that we have hooked up this way - and have so many plans..........at least I know that he may have some one to hang with ................ Jay.?? How whas his experience on the Grand Jury? my DH is a Chief Officer (Baliff spell??? in some states) at Superior Court ................

Ok, have to get moving for the day - I hope to pop on later and I am really going to try tonight so I don't miss much!!

Have a Happy Sunday everyone!​

I've seen Herc only once. The family won't let me go anymore.

Apparantely there was a little problem with heckling from the audiance. I thought it was the guy next to me, but they say it was me.

We saw one of the very early Herc shows. Hades was even more sarcastic than he is now, I found it quite entertaining, but obviously a lot of people didn't get it and they toned his part down. And yes people were trading barbs with him too, made it even more funny.
