........
Until then... Steve...Where is Cabo Wabo and these coconut shrimp of which I hear tell???
.....

Oh. Oh. Oh! I know! I know!

Elaine, Do you think that it is necessary to check with Lumieres before hand so that they can make sure they can handle this many people at once?
Kay, tomorrow is docs day in Indianapolis. We tracked our docs here and they have been here since 6pm Friday. This can only mean one thing. Lots and lots of possibly dancing bananas. I don't think the bananas like me.

Bill

Bill, your banana likes you just fine!

I doubt I will see my docs tomorrow. They have been held hostage in Secaucus New Jersey since 7:37 PM on Friday night

Yayyy, T O P ! ! !

The DIS PJ Parade!!! Who will be our drum major? Mickey? Who will get Mickey? Will they play Who's the leader of the club that's made for you and me?? M I C K E Y MOUSE...... so we can sing...

Well, we don't HAVE to sing but what else could Mr. Ears be doing at that time of day? Laundry?

We are going to Cabo Wabo for lunch that day. Can't wait. I have a great map that show all the popular restaurants/bars. You can find it here:
http://www.cabosanlucasinfo.com/maps/downtown-cabo-map.htm

We plan on being there sometime. We might have to go to the Office too.

The map makes it look like an easy walk from the cruise ship dock (just below the bottom of the map), but I think that we will take a pedicab or a taxi into town.

AHHHHH - I just received a summons notice for jury duty on May 25th.

Can someone help me with a very creative excuse to get out of it?

Guilty there all guilty .. or I think the Cops are right should do it..

Actually If you Call them and explain that you will be on Disney's first ever 14 day cruise thru the Panama canal.. should do it...

 

[moocow35]

Also, I am confused, DCL says that we are not allowed to carry any food or drinks on the ship, can anyone verify or dispute this info.

If there is that rule, I don't think they do too much to stop it. I have been in line with people pushing along cases of beer and soda. I myself will be bringing some liquids with me, and DD now tells me she wants me to buy a blender for the room

[BobandLee]

OK - I get home and unpack and partially pack again for 12 days from now. Have to get out the formal wear and everything associated with it. I am at the computer now for 7 hours and haven't gotten up yet, nor eaten anything.

NOTE TO SELF: Get up and eat something. NOW

I have listed the "progression of trekkers" to the different staterooms and the (I hope) up-to-date calendar for everyone.

NOTE TO EVERYONE: Don't forget to print out Hygiene99's up-to-date list of everything that has been listed. (SIMPLY AN AWESOME LIST, THAT I MUST ADD) and the

Calendar that I have prepared with some of the daily activities that we have planned.

For those planning on spending a couple of days at WDW before the 14th, good luck to you and have a safe trip to Orlando.

PIXIE DUST TO ALL OF US AS WE COMPLETE OUR TRAVELS TO BEGIN OUR VENTURE OF A LIFETIME FOR SOME OF US...............

Awwww. Somebody's using Tippy's sun.

ACK!!! Just tell them that there will be 300+ of your closest friends showing up at the courthouse to lodge a protest.

Oh man. Dr. Bill's banana will be dancin' tomorrow!

YEAH!!!!! We'll all be there.....just a few days late.......but we'll be there......

 

[icunurse_celeste]

I can't wait either. We've got some very sick babies right now and everyone just seems to be a little more testy about it and on edge. We ALL need a vacation....

I hate to say it, but emotionally I am leaving. Next weekend it will be extremely HARD to be a dedicated, caregiver.....
Today I was saying, " 14 days from now I will be having breakfast....looking at the ocean- on the ship- you'll be looking at labs and cleaning up P**P!" and laughed hysterically!

 

[icunurse_celeste]

Anyone planning to watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition tonight? They always send the family on vacation, and lately it's been a DISNEY CRUISE We are nuts about this show, but that glimpse of the Magic really puts us over the top! Then of course theres the eye candy ...er.... Ty Pennington!

Renae

Yummmmm

I was there when Paige from Trading Spaces was on the cruise- she has half naked the whole cruise. Very nice- signed somthing for my younger sister who loves her show.

 

[BobandLee]

Hey, this one works too!

 

[Tisha2026]

Whoooo hoooo.. Two weeks from right now I will be eating those wonderful embarkation SHRIMP!! Well... maybe I might be done by now... having wiped out the buffet... and heading (waddling)to our DIS sailaway party!!



I can't wait for the melon soup . Actually, I can't remember what fruit it is - but it's a peach color and the most delicious cold soup I've ever had. I was even able to get the recipe on our 2nd cruise.

Things are running smoothly for us. Yesterday I took two of the kids out shopping for "cruise" stuff. Tomorrow Rick, our son Patrick and I will go out shopping. My son has grown about 6 inches since last year - and nothing fits him. Us girls in the family enjoy shopping, but the 2 boys don't. Hopefully I won't have a headache from all the "are we done yets".

I have started a to do list because I just know that we'll get on the plane and forget something important - like underwear I even have a DIS list going so I can keep everything straight. I think the last thing is to get stuff for the pirate night. Now that we have pirate names we need the clothes to go with it.

I do have a question - has anyone received information about ordering a Tux? My husband has ordered one in the past - and it's waiting in our stateroom on arrival. But nothing yet. We hope that they are still offering that as it would be a pain to pack 2 of them. Hope all of you are well - and getting excited for the cruise. See you all in less then 2 weeks

I'll try to save you some shrimp! If you arrive and find they are out, look for the guy in the mickey hat hidden behind a mound of shrimp tails!

Could the soup you are talking about be the Chilled Orange and Mango soup? If that is it, you should like your sailaway gift from us left in your fish the first day or two!

I love the stuff too! I wonder if they would put it in a large cup for me with a straw so I could enjoy it by the pool!

Yes, that's it. How could I have forgotten that?! I could definitely eat/drink it all day - every day. Like that idea about the pool - now I'll know it's you. Better yet, we should just grab the whole bowl

Also, want to apologize - I took the top quote from another mail and just cut and pasted. I have now figured out how to take a quote - all the little yellow boxes - and put it into a response. Sorry

Ok experts...

Also, can you just rent fins at Castaway Cay, and if so how much? I seem to recall this conversation, but it was like a month ago!

I was away for the weekend and am just getting caught up, so not sure if anyone has answerd this yet. In December, I was charged the full $25 fee to rent fins only at Castaway Cay, so this time, I'm bringing my own.

On the other hand, my friend went to the rental place around 3:00 and asked if she could use some snorkeling gear for the the last hour and they let her use it, no charge.

[BethE]

I didn't see the conversation but I believe they were $9 per pair when we went last year. I don't know if children's pairs were cheaper or not.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong! (wouldn't be the first time today!)

-steve

Wow! Well if that's the case, I was ripped off by the CM who charged me $25 in December for a pair of fins. I thought it was pretty steep.
