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

[kpros]

The four of us in our party would like to join the wine tasting!

We (Mary and I) are from the Finger Lakes region of NY--so guess what we are bringing.

No, it is not Boone's Farm, but we have the original Wild Irish Rose here!

Bill

Sounds great. That is what made the wine tasting on the 10 day so great - all the different wines from around the country.

Scott,

Yes, we're in for the DVC member cruise too. The one in '03 was so much fun, I just had to book the Sept one too! Maybe when everyone gets together in September we can share all the pics from the Panama Cruise!

May will be here BEFORE WE KNOW IT!

Could someone explain the scattered posts about dressing up as pirates? Is there a dining theme night... are some just planning on dressing up at a given time... I'm sure this was shared at some point on this thread, but maybe I missed the details... thanks!

I want to let all of you know that Dreams Unlimited has graciously agreed to sponsor the wine tasting parties on the two repositioning cruises.

Just bring the wine and Dreams will take care of everything else.

I've been in touch with kpros and I'll be happy to help all of you with planning this event.

Thank You. Dreams Unlimited..

WOW!! Thank you so much Dreams Unlimited!! That is very generous and I know I speak for everyone here in saying "Thank you!! Thank you!!".

You can be sure we will make a toast to everyone at Dreams Unlimited from the Wine Tasting party!!

Thank you again,
Laurie

 

[kpros]

That's get news, and it's very thoughtful of Dreams to do this.

So, if you are interested in tasting wines from around the country, let us know if you haven't already. We will post a list of those interested from time to time so we won't forget. Right - who would forget about drinking wine (or a beverage of your choice) with friends on the Magic. How much better can it be.

Thanks Dreams for your support!

Thank you Regina and Dreams Unlimited! This is why I keep using Dreams over and over again to book my cruises


Bonzie1, Disney has a pirate theme sailaway party night on the cruises now. This is new since my last cruise, so I don't know too much about it, I've been looking for a pirate outfit myself though.

Oh, this is getting so exciting!

Scott,

Disney has started a pirate theme night. Lots of people dressed up as pirates for dinner and the deck party afterwards. The costumes ranged from casual tropical to all out Captain Hook. Our very own seaulater and her family were all (all 13) decked out in home made pirate outfits. Maybe, if we are real nice, she will post a picture of the pirates from Utah.

They even had special menus (designed like a pirate treasure map) that everyone got to take home.

It's hard to say which night it will be for the repo.

[EpcotKilterFan]

Thanks Dreams Unlimited!!!!

I am not a drinker, but I may bring some wine from the Islands... Lake Erie Islands that is. We actually have some great wine here. You don't need a corkscrew for them but they are pretty sought after

Debbie

 

[EpcotKilterFan]

Do you all think that Pirate night will be before we go throught he canal? That seems to be the pirate side of world

We have gotten a few pirate items to wear. It is going to be soooo much fun!

I am researching the excursions and think that we have narrowed them down. So far, it looks like we may spend time on the ship in Mazatlan. And Cabo, the place we spend the least amount of time, there are a few things I want to do!

A while back I read about a Palo meet for brunch or High Tea? I think that would be nice.

Soon we will be in double digits!

Debbie

 

[DVC Minnie]

Woohoo!!!! We are going to party. Thanks Regina and Dreams.

kpros: Include DH and I in the wine tasting group. We will bring some bottles from a Georgia winery. Let me know if you and Kara need help.

 

[nasmith]

Count me and DH (Neil) in for the Wine tasting - Thanks Dreams! And to think I was just wondering WHY people book their cruises thru Travel agents in the first place , because I've booked my upcoming 4-day (2/6) thru a TA and still haven't heard diddly about my documents - while others who've booked directly thru Disney have already rec'd theirs! (it's Not as if I'm anxious or anything!)

Oh, about the wine tasting - I will NOT be bringing wine from my state (currently Mississipi) - but I've lived in RI, VT, FL, CA, and IN---so maybe I'll bring something from one of those areas??? Jill

 

[Pappy]

I havent had chance to read the boards of late but the wine tasting sounds very interesting..can you include my wife ( liz) and I on the list please.

Thanks Neil

 

[Hygiene99]

A Big Thank You To Winotracy For Coming up with the Idea She is on the August Repo trip , But Approached Dreams for The Sponsorship of the Wine Tasting event on that trip and Now They are Doing Both..

Great Work Tracy.... As I Know She keeps up with this thread Also..
Trying to Figure out what Her Surprise is.. We are meeting Her / DH and Some of the Ship Of Fool's Folks in Ca.

Peter

 

[Scott H]

WOW, THANK YOU DREAMS UNLIMITED!!!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU,

This is very very nice gesture and we all do appreciate your sponsorship.

 

[kellib36]

WOW, THANK YOU DREAMS UNLIMITED!!!!!!

I second this notion, since that's EXACTLY what came to mind when I read it....WOW!!! Very awesome for you to do that! Thank you SO much!

Kelli

 

[bonzie1]

Thank-you to Dreams for sponsoring the wine tasting!!! Wow!

NASMITH... about booking through an agent... Normally I don't use a travel agent, and do the legwork myself, but in the case of booking this special 14 day repro cruise, if we hadn't used Dreams Unlimited, we wouldn't have gotten a spot.

MOOCOW35 - Robin + KPROS - Ken Thanks for the info about the pirate party theme! Our last cruise was in Jan last year. There wasn't a party like that then. We'll pull something together, maybe what we wore to the MNSSHP a few years back.

 

[bonzie1]

I did it! I went and booked the REAS add on! Now I must plan a Palo night, a massage time, as well as High Tea and Palo Brunch...

Now, my dilema... Doen ANYONE know where I can get a list of evening events for our cruise. I sure don't want to book Palo on the Pirate Night, or the Captain night! Yikes! I don't want to miss out on anything!!!

Any suggestions? Thanks!

I need to get my times back to Dreams so they can book the times. HELP!

 

[first timers]

I was just catching up on the posts from this afternoon and I was reading yours and realized (I think) who you are. When I saw FIRST TIMERS as your board name, and then read under it, I think you are the couple that was on the 10 day Christmas Cruise.

My husband and I talked to you on the first day of the cruise when you had your blue denim shirts on by the staircase and I was the one telling you about the disboards and that you guys needed to check them out.

Anyway, have I made the connection? If I did, tell me your names again. I think I have some pictures of both of you from the 10 day cruise!

Linda

Linda- That was us on the 10-day cruise. Sent you a PM with our names. Alex

 

[bonzie1]

Yes, it's me again... just need to share this... when I walked into our closet this morning, the floor felt cold. I thought this was strange, because it's usually warm (with a heat vent). Then the sinking feeling set in... Oh no, is there ice in our rain gutter and with the melting snow are we getting water backing up under the roof???

A quick run down to the kitchen, and a glance at our wet ceiling told me sad ending to the story...

I'm now at work, getting things settled, but must rush back home to clear the way for the ceiling work and closet work... call the insurance agent (sigh). I hope it won't cost an arm and a leg, 'cause we're cruisin' in May!

Thanks for letting me share! Wish us luck!
