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

Someone suggested a while back that we wear our "reposition this" shirts on embarkation day and our "all I got was this lousy t-shirt" on debarkation day. Are we all planning to do this? I hope so, because I thought it sounded like a fun idea! If so, should that be added to Hygeine's daily update?

Stole this from the Ship of Fools..

Has anyone heard from DVCMinnie? She was going to do the linked reservations. Have not heard back from her if they went thru or not.

Good morning Ashley and Karen. Still staying at the Embassy Suites the night before the cruise?

Webmaster Regina PM'd me this last week and I guess DVCMinnie is having computer problems. She is still taking care of the late seating reservations and Webmaster Regina said she would get in touch with me when she was up and running again since I was taking care of the Main seating.

So, you should be okay!

I have probably shoved rcostello1 out of the way of the 3 Buck Chuck at the local Trader Joe's on occasion.

So, will anyone else bring their knitting? I know, I know...wool, May, heat, ick. BUT! I don't think I can go that long without it. I'm a knitting junkie. I'm asking for purely selfish reasons as I'm a neophyte and I might need help with tricky patterns. I also like to see what other people are knitting so I can aspire to more glamorous projects.

Hi!
It's a pretty safe bet that I'll be bringing a knitting project (and probably a cross stitch project as well) with me. I'm not an expert knitter by any means, but I have done a variety of projects. I'll be bringing a shawl that I recently finished in case I get chilly from the ship's A/C. It's a lace pattern in a funky sparkly black yarn.

Now there's something I'd be happy doing on the at sea days....spinning yarn...Now, how do you get a spinning wheel aboard? No drop spindle for meee...

c'mon now, head on into the chat...

Hi ya...

Can we have another official count of who's coming to the Sailaway parties? Trying to figure out if I have enough goodie bags for each family. And of course, I forgot who's in charge of that list!

Sorry I missed the chat! I just checked in and was the only one there! Sorry!

The 8pm EST is tough for us west coasters! That's cocktail hour for DH & I! As we always say "It's gotta be 5:00 somewhere!"

Maybe next time!

For those wondering about the styrofoam wine containers, the links are a few pages back. I could perfectly fit traditional shape red or white wine bottles plus a regular size bottle of champagne. I'm very happy with the purchase and I'm sure DisneyPinDiva will be too when she enjoys the future contents of said purchase!

EpcotKilterFan - I'm shipping wine, I can't afford to lose that, what would I drink with dinner (and breakfast and lunch hehe)?!?! Where does one find diet ginger ale with Splenda? And the sryups, YUM! I'm allergic to aspartame and sacchrin so sucralose is the only sweetener I can use.

To lighten your airline loads and shipping costs (and if you have a car before the cruise) think about buying regular-sized items at Wal Mart near WDW before you cruise. We are trekking to Wal Mart after a day in the parks on Friday. That way we won't "forget" anything at home and we can buy full size (3 weeks vacation x 5 people = almost everything full size).

Ahhhhh yes..... Can't wait!! Do you mean I was the only one to volunteer to help?? That's fine... more for us!
I have never heard of Hansens.... but Wal-Mart does have Diet Rite which comes in lots of lovely flavors and is also made with Splenda!! We get the cola to mix with our rum, and the tangerine goes well with mandarin absolute... There is also Kiwi Strawberry, white grape and raspberry. Comes in cans as well as 2 ltr bottles. 2 12packs for $5 usually. Don't ya just LOVE Wal-Mart Supercenter?

Ken... got your email.. and replied. Thanks!

AngelaJ.... We are staying at Paradise Pier.... but isn't HoJo pretty close? I'm sure we could make it work. I can't seem to find any info on what's available at the Port of LA! Maybe someone here from that area can give us a clue about different services??

Jeff or Jen: I thought I saw somewhere that you were going to alter the pin design shirt to put the flipped design on the back? If so I want to wait to order.... or can't it be done?? Thanks.. I know you are sooo busy.... just wondering.

I'm at the Mouse House if anyone is in neeeeed of anything from WDW.... Anyone else here? We could have a pre-cruise meet!!
