20050514..May 14, 2005...Official Check in Disney's 1st 14 Day thru Panama Canal Part 2

[JenKatt]

What day are we doing the Fantasmic viewing party thingie? I'm trying to make PS's and don't remember which night to avoid...

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

Ahhh...more stress!!!! just what i didn't need

My DH put in for a transfer to where we will be moving to later this year...well...IT CAME THROUGH!!!! He has to report to work on the 18th OF THIS MONTH!!!!! We were kinda thinking it wouldn't go through till after we got back from the cruise.

I only hope we sell the house quickly!!!! Then I can join him.

39 days...only 39 days...I just need to remind myself of that...39 days then me and DH get to spend two weeks together in paradise

So...how is everyone else????

 

[Q's My Princess]

Well, with all this talk of luggage tables, luggage beds & luggage rooms, I figured I better get a move on and actually buy a BIG piece of luggage! So, this morning I stopped at Ross and picked up a BRIGHT BLUE bag...I think DD would fit in there with room for the clothes too!

As the salesperson said "You'll have no problem finding this bag at the airport!" With this wonderful color I don't have to put a colored ribbon or strap on it! So, when you see the big blue bag coming...you'll know it's me!

Now, to start filling it!

 

[Q's My Princess]

What day are we doing the Fantasmic viewing party thingie? I'm trying to make PS's and don't remember which night to avoid...

Hi Jen! I was thinking that there was talk it was going to be on the 28th because Peter is only staying one night in California. Peter, correct me if I am wrong.

Rcostello, speaking of which....the 28th of this month is when we can make the Fantasmic desert balcony seating reservations at 8:00 AM PST. Are you still making the ressies for us? If so, how are we handling the payments to you? They tell me that you have to pay by credit card when you reserve this.

Robin

 

[moocow35]

All you cruisers on top of your packing has me now almost to the panic mode I'm going on a short 4 day trip this week (which I still have to pack for), so once that is over with....then comes the major packing!

Robin

 

[seaulater]

Good Morning Fellow Cruisers of the High Seas to Exotic Ports o’ Call.

Weather here in Jackson is pretty yucky, wet snow, roads are a mess.

Packing over the weekend went pretty well. We have about 20 lbs of vacant space in our flying luggage. (will have to add the pirate outfits) Will be sending a box to SSR ahead of our arrival.

We should receive our Pirate outfits late this week or next. I can’t wait to swash some buckles.

Lucky Georgie and Joe getting a day off. Enjoy it for sure.

Linda, can we make requests of the kinds cookies? We will bring the left overs from the meet at SSR, so we can have wine, cheese, crackers and cookies.

Another thing to do with your luggage is to mark it with a big red and white tag that states “ Human Transplant Organs.” Rarely will someone pick up you bag by accident.

This is a good group of folks with some pretty neat pups.

Yeah, yeah, yeah....picky cookie eater huh? I am planning on bringing 1 box of all 8 flavors and then if I still have them an extra Samoa and Thin Mint. I was thinking we could get started Friday night at SSR!!!!!

[bonzie1]

Hi Georgie:

Ken has also said he'd wear a tux for this trip - we'll get the white jacket if you will. I've never seen Ken in a tux and I bet this will be the last time so I want to go all out and get both jackets.

Hi Shari!

Joe said he'd be game for the white jacket. I think we're going to order the package. I know I won't be able to get him to dress up this way again so we're going for it! Isn't it amazing what a DISNEY event can do! I really don't want to bother renting from up here and packing it. This way everything will be there on board (and HOPEFULLY) will be the right size ) And, we won't have to pack it up and bring it home, and return it (even better).

I better get those measurements. Sounds like a lot of us will be ordering these packages! DCL will NEVER be the same after all of us get there! I do hope they're ready for us!

 

[bonzie1]

Hi Jen! I was thinking that there was talk it was going to be on the 28th because Peter is only staying one night in California. Peter, correct me if I am wrong.

Robin

Robin,

I have in my notes, that the Fantasmic viewing was going to be for the 28th at 8:00... if we couldn't get that it would be for the 2nd showing. He's going to try to get all of the seats. We'll have to keep our fingers crossed that all of us on the list will get a spot!


Hope you have a great, safe trip! When you get back, you'll be ready to get packing for the BIG TRIP!

 

[Mickbee]

We ordered our Passports on 3/7 and they arrived today!!! That was pretty fast!

One more item to check off of the list. Hopefully we will find out our stateroom tomorrow!

 

[bonzie1]

Lucky Georgie and Joe getting a day off. Enjoy it for sure.

...............that isn't related to Disney and/or Disney Cruising!

Linda

We are off again tomorrow. More orgainzing for the trip...

The flooding has been intense in the Trenton NJ + Yardley PA areas. I can't begin to imaging the horror or seeing the waters rise and get closer to your front door. How do you prepare for something like that

 

[moocow35]

Robin,

Hope you have a great, safe trip! When you get back, you'll be ready to get packing for the BIG TRIP!

Hi Georgie! I checked the Disneyland site, and the showtimes are 9:00 and 10:30. I'm up for either one! I hear however if you are at the early one, they let you stay to watch the fireworks! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Oh I need to get packing! I hate flying, but can't wait to go see Aimee, and check up on my construction! (plus getting warm won't hurt either ) Thanks for the well wishes!

Robin

[Scott H]

Any cookie is a good cookie!!!!

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

Any cookie is a good cookie!!!!

I most heartily agree!!! Especially if we're talking GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!! If you are bringing them to Scott's on Friday night what makes you think there will be leftovers for the line on Sat???

Laurie.... regarding the Pirate Magnet..... I guess we'll let DH win this one and go with the Incredibles...

 

[EpcotKilterFan]

I just realized today that the countdown is in the 30's!

Starting to really look at Disneyland planning.

Did anyone do the Happiest Faces on Earth for DLR? Having only been there once when I was 7 and not having any pictures from it, we did not. But it would be cool to look for someone that we know!

I almost was headed your way Bonzie! I work for Red Cross and they called for me to head there to help out. Because of commitments here and knowing that my trip is a little over a month away I could not go.
