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

Can we use Waltograph on this board? Seems to me that it would make a nice change of scenery.
Bill

Yes, but there are a couple of things to consider.
1. The font has to be installed on a diser's computer for it to display. If not, the default font is used.
2. You have to code it yourself. Example to get- [FONT=Walt Disney Script v4.1]THIS[/font] I have to do the following (leave out quotes)
"[" "font=Walt Disney Script v4.1" "]" THIS "[" "/font" "]"
It may look confusing, but I can't seem to get it to show up any way else.

Just called and confirmed our shore excursions:
Scuba at Curacao and Cabo
Old Matzalan Walking tour
Alcapoco Hughlights

Ya know how after ya leave the ship you feel like things are still swaying, even more noticable after a being on a much smaller boat.

 

[BobandLee]

Welcome back Scott. I'm sure you'll be glad to get back home.

When you get settled and all, I need to ask a question about a candy store there.

 

[Scott H]

I did not need to see that,

Cowboy Candy Company????

 

[BobandLee]

Cowboy Candy Company????

Not sure. It's somewhere in the vicinity of the cam. Maybe a little north. Not right on the street, but back in a walkway behind another shop. They sell Huckleberry cream chocolates. Ymmmmmm.

 

[Scott H]

Rather be here.


Bob, Huckelberry Mt Chocolates, we go to the factory and get the seconds, just as good and a whole lot cheaper.

Just playing trying to make pic bigger

Thanks for the generous offer. We live in Orlando, so the trip to the port is only one hour. Yes, we are spoiled!



I'm also used to having a dog sleeping at (well, more like on) my feet at night. Lynda, I may need to borrow Cash one night!

Randall

Yep, after I got all excited about getting a pillow in the mail I looked at your
location and figured that from Florida to Florida was too easy to bother...Now, speaking of compression and fancy folding, I'm still working on how to fold a 20# bag of dog food...I took 5 individual 4# bags on the 10-day and stuffed them into a bag a neighbor, in a fit of brilliance, rebuilt to snap onto the back of my scooter seat. It worked pretty well until one of the airport gorillas, on my way to Orlando, dropped my acooter and, in trying to catch it, grabbed the bag instead of the frame or the seat and turned the bag into a carry-on...Rrrrrrippp... I had just enough food so I didn't have to bring any back and used the bag for carrying dirty laundry on the return trip...ewwww.
If you'll bring the dog food, though, we can negotiate a Cash loan....although someone will have to stay with me to serve as service dog while he's away...Woof, woof... (actually, as I'm sure everyone knows, he's been trained, like a lot of Service Dogs, not to go off with anyone else or follow someone else's commands so that he can't be stolen....) Maybe he'll loan you his lambskin bed to cuddle with your deflated pillow....

OR, you could get an inflatable pillow...OOO, I like that...Maybe I could get one of those and get some vacation sleep, too...

Kind of a far drive for us.
Will try their website. Lee has mentioned that place several times since we stopped there last summer. The chocolates were good. But then, I am happy with M&M's.

I am also on the weight loss track (doing Weight Watchers) and if I actually reach the weight goal they say I should be at I think if you looked at me sideways I'd disappear. If I could be so bold to ask - is the Body Analysis part of a Spa package or exercise package or can you get it separate? It would be fun to go into my meeting after the cruise and say "well according to the Disney Cruise Line I should weight XXX lbs!!!!".

It was separate as far as I can remember. Actually, when I did they were offering a discount of that along with something else. I was in the RF room, and there were people coming around asking if anyone was interested. You lie down on a mat, and some leads are attached - send an electric pulse or something through your body. Based on your height and weight (which you supply) and the info obtained from the reader, it calculates everything from how much water you're intaking (whether you need to be drinking more), how much muscle mass and body fat you have, what your ideal weight should be, etc. I found it quite informative. I'll probably do it again on this cruise to see how I've progressed.

Thanks for the generous offer. We live in Orlando, so the trip to the port is only one hour. Yes, we are spoiled!

NejTheLion had a good idea about those bags where you suck out all the air with a vacuum. May have to look at that. Once we unload all of the things we are bringing on with us that won't be coming home (wine, rum, laundry detergent, toiletries) I may have enough room to squish in the pillow.

I'm also used to having a dog sleeping at (well, more like on) my feet at night. Lynda, I may need to borrow Cash one night!

Randall

Well, if you don't want the hassle of hauling if for a one hour trip, you can ship to Lynda in Texas, she can ship to the Magic and it will be there when you arrive!!!!

I want some, I want some!!!

Linda , was it you that mentioned a roll of paper to say " Goodbye" or "California or Bust"? I just called DCL and they told me that there is absolutely no way they can allow something to hang on the side of the ship. However, we could hold up the paper or LETTERS spelling out the message. It just is not allowed on the side of the ship. This has apparently come up before. So if someone does this, we should not expect to tape or hang it , we should hold it to say "Bon Voyage" and then throw it away (after pictures of course).

Cool, thanks for finding that out. I was thinking of a bunch of people holding it right when the ship departed, and then thought, heck we could just tape it on the side when we departed. Oh well, back to option A, I'll recruit volunteers at our sailaway party right when we depart! Then we will roll up and dispose of properly!

So far ideas are:

Kingdom to Kingdom
LA or Bust
California or Bust
Goodbye Canaveral, Hello LA!

Linda

 

[BobandLee]

Thanks Scott for tell me how far we are from Castaway Cay.
I can now add more "clutter" to the loft.

We are willing to purchase the appropriate food here in Orlando and take it to the ship for you. This way you don't have to transport it from Texas. Just let us know what brand/quantity and we can work out a payment option. Twenty pounds of food is a lot to have to ship. We have two small dogs that go through 10 pounds a month. This is a much different scenario!\

Does Cash have a wine preference?

[TDC Nala]

I definitely want to see Star Wars.

I'll be bringing a nice bottle of sweet Texas white for the big boy and a bottle of your favorite, too...just let me know what it is because I REALLY appreciate you letting me bully you into offering to pick up some food for my boy....He eats about a pound + of lamb/rice of IAMS a day (what kind of doglets do you have? Very economical!)...and I'll be gone at least 15 of his mealtimes...Hmmm, let's see....a 20# bag ought to do it. I'll renew it in CA...At sea it's a problem (How many pieces of prime rib would DCL miss?...And there's a peculiar USDA law about taking opened containers of food either onto or off the ship...That's why I ended up deciding for a bunch of small bags on the last cruise, although Linda love had volunteered the muscles of her (son-in-law??) to haul a large bag aboard for us.. The 24 days (14+10) of this trip is another story, though...There's NO way I'm gonna be able to tote all that dog food and still tote undies too... A girl has to have SOME priorities...Just let me know where to send the money...and, thank you very much...

Yep, it was my strapping son-in-law on the last cruise. I think he was disappointed that your neighbor hooked you up, he kept talking about how he was going to carry dog food through the DCL terminal!

Glad you found some new strapping young men! Don't know if I could have talked my 70 year old dad into carrying a 20 lb bag!
