Cash got his verandah!

ROOM NUMBERS!

For anyone who's been GTY, go check your reservation. Now that the final payment deadline has passed (it was yesterday, I believe), there's a good chance you'll have an assigned room number now. We're in 8542, just a few rooms aft of where we were on our last cruise with the suites

Final payment is due today. Confirmation receipt from DCL

Final Due: 15-March-2005
Refund Restrictions Begin: 16-March-2005

And I paid in full first thing this morning. Paid with our AX because starting today we get DOUBLE MILES on everything from March 15-April 15 and that was worth more to me than the $50 stateroom credit!

CRUISE SOUVENIR DVD
*************************************************
Here's the list I have so far of people who would either be interested in purchasing (at cost) a DVD souvenir of the cruise and/or would be willing to send me their photos and video footage for its creation. When the cruise is over, I'll post a message on this list (assuming it's still here) with the details for sending me materials and placing orders. Depending on what all I receive in the way of materials, I'd estimate this being completed some time in July. If you want to be sure you're contacted along the way, please email (nejthelion@earthlink.net) or PM me. Please don't just post a message to the thread because I'm afraid I'll miss someone.

NOTE: This is for interest/involvement/contact only. Orders will be taken at a later date once I can set the price. Also, I can use still photos and VHS/Hi-8 footage as well - not limited to digital media.

I won't be able to give an exact price until after the cruise, but I imagine it will be in the $5-$10 range (including basic shipping). I'll set one DVD price for everyone (to be multiplied by the number of DVDs ordered) and most likely one base shipping price so as not to charge extra to those who will need me to return photos or video or who live farther away. Additional shipping options (insurance, delivery confirmation) will be available as add-ons.

I've decided not to worry about music copyrights for this project so it's up to you all not to get me in trouble I am open for music suggestions. Here are some so far:

Be Our Guest
Celebration
Under The Sea
When You Wish Upon A Star
Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life For Me

 

[Q's My Princess]

I just checked to see if we had been assigned a room number.

Nope, still GTY status!

Oh well, it keeps me guessing!

HOLEY COW!
Cash got his verandah!


We are now in stateroom 7136...


Hooray to the Wizard of upgrades!

Yay Lynda! I'm so glad Cash has a place to go potty now!

I sent you a check for 4 pins about a week-and-a-half ago. Did you receive it???

Angela

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

Hmm somebody mentioned Muppets...it would be great if they have the Muppets Wizard of Oz on board. It think it airs during May sweeps. It looks very funny, I've seen the preview 3,423,454,393 times in my store!

On another note (where is DisneyPinDiva???) I tested a bottle of wine tonight for the safety of others at the wine tasting. Wanted to make sure my vintage 1995 Fume Blanc hadn't turned to vinegar. It was quite tasty. Somehow only a third of it made it into the wine reduction sauce...the other two thirds disappeared somewhere. I dunno where...hmm...and I went straight to bed after cooking...hmm......hence why I am up at 430 in the morning! I'm bringing some 2000 or 2001 varieties...whichever one was the better year of my favorite wine. There are some empty spaces in the wine fridge, time to stock up!!!!!!!!!

Muppets Wizard of Oz??? Guess I havn't been to TDS in a while. I'm so behind. This is a TV thing? Disney owns the Muppets now so I'm guessing it will be on the ship.
NOW... stop taste testing the wine or there won't be any left for the cruise! Hmmmm Wine Reduction sauce... doesn't that mean REDUCE the amount of wine in the sauce and put more in the cook?? That's what I always thought.....

 

[Juli]

We have been in FL since 3/1. No computer access until yesterday. We spent a few days at WDW, then Fort Lauderdale, then Duck Key, and now we are at my in-laws in Punta Gorda. We'll be heading home tomorrow and I'll be able to catch up a bit on the DIS this weekend. I think there is just too much to read thought.

Yes, I received it, thank you very much...I'll get those out as soon as I get 'em..

[Q's My Princess]

Okay all you scrapbookers out there...I was just at Joann Fabrics and all their stickers are 50% off. Needless to say, even though I am a complete novice...I stocked up, plus got some more stuff for my exchange!

Yippee! I love sales!

HOLEY COW!
Cash got his verandah!


We are now in stateroom 7136...


Hooray to the Wizard of upgrades!

Congratulations!!!!

I was excited to see the other posts about rooms being assigned to GTY status so I logged onto the Cruise site but still no room assignment for us

Elaine

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

Lynda: So glad to hear that you and Cash got the verandah! I'm sure that's a relief.

Heard a rumor from a pin trader at DTD last night..... she said they are no longer pin trading on the cruise ships... due to the whole contact issue and sickness etc. Of course they are still selling pins.. but not wearing lanyards etc. Bummer... I aways found a lot of fun pins on the CM lanyards on the ship! I'm still trying to verify this... anyone know anyone who's sailed recently?? They were still doing it in Dec for the Xmas cruise.

 

[Scott H]

Just called DCL and we are still in GTY Cat 5 Limbo. I told the CM we were holing out for a Cat1 upgrade, she laughed. It feels like the beginning of the movie at The Living Seas, ... and waits,.......and waits......and waits......

Congrats to those who have been assigned their staterooms.

We are doing our Travel Log presentation at our rec center on our past sailing/diving trip tonight. Should be fun. I am brining the inflatable Palm Tree and inflatable Bruce the Shark.

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

Scott: Good luck with your presentation tonight... I'm sure it will be great.

Nothing but RAIN here at WDW. Doing lots of fun things around the MouseHouse... reorganizing the garage, painting, putting down some flooring in the attic so we can store more junk.... the fun never stops. I haven't even had a Kringla yet!!!!!

No stateroom assignment for us yet either. I don't care... it will be fun no matter where we sleep.
Was wondering if we will be able to get more than one Palo ressie. Trying to think of devious ways to do so. Thought about making ressies with another couple?? Then we could each go twice and have witty dinner companions as well. Hmmmmm??? At least we'll probably get to do brunch more than once.... LOVE THOSE STONE CRABS!! Gotta remember NOT to make it for the morning after Palo dinner...LOL

I offered that information on the main board last week and was told that the suspension of trading was only a temporary measure...just for flu season...
It has since resumed...
Keep an ear out...

 

[webray]

There is also an aisle of scrapbooking supplies on clearance at target.

 

[JenKatt]

The last big Oriental Trading catalog I got had a huge scrapbooking section, that's now available online. I thought there was a lot of nice things for all ya'lls grab bags...

Its called the "Monfort Winery"------

Okay, that is gross!!! For those who don't know, Monfort is the United States largest cattle feed lot. One million cows. One nasty wine coming from that winery. I won't even go into the meat processing facility down the road.

How long has it been since you were in Greeley? I bet its changed a LOT!!!!

Kelli

I moved away almost 15 years ago. But my family still lives there. It has changed a lot, but still someplace that is nice to visit, but I don't want to live there. It snows there. I hate snow.
