20050514..May 14, 2005...Official Check in Disney's 1st 14 Day thru Panama Canal Part 3

[myfairygodmother]

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!

Thanks for the headsup on the online booking for Palo! I was able to book a dinner and a brunch but it would not let me book tea--said that I had reached my Palo limit ... Hopefully there will still be space to book when we get on board. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another brunch or two as well!

Hi Shari

I booked personal training for May 16 8:30 am - 9:30 am and May 24 8:30 am - 9:30 am

I've never had a personal trainer but I'm hoping this these sessions will be what I need to get me & my butt back to the gym and in the fitness mode again - when I'm working out I'll be thinking "this was designed for me on the cruise!!!"

Elaine

Well, maybe that's what I'll need to do for Cash...He and the vet did a one-two visit today...He was one sweet dog and the vet suggested two things to him: lose weight and lose weight...obese dog, my foot......aargh...

 

[myfairygodmother]

If anyone needs a little Disney fix--the Travel Channel is showing the DCL show again. It airs tonight at 7:00pm(EST) and again at 2:00am(EST).

Tomorrow at 1:30pm(EST) is Travel Channel's Travel Cafe in Cabo San Lucas.

Oh so Close..

 

[NEM]

Ok...I've got another question...

My sister and I were talking today...we have booked all they will allow preboarding in Flounders and noticed that there are some times during the day that Flounders is not open...most noticably during our high tea time...

So, the question came up as to whether there might be some nice teenage girls that would be interested in babysitting for a couple of hours to earn some spending money while on the ship - we were thinking 14/15 or older...

If you are the proud owner of one of these such beings that might be interested, them please pm me. I would love to exchange room numbers if such a situation arises....and see if we could maybe work something out.

We are travelling with a aunt and gram, but there may be a time for a couple of hours we would like to get away and are just trying to cover all the bases....

Thanks,
Michelle aka NEM

 

[myfairygodmother]

WOW, that's fantastic...! Maybe a post-book exchange half-hour training session at the Deck 7 aft verandah could make it to the DIS-Navigator ? I'll tell Cash he's booked an engagement...! The Ham!

I'd love to attend and be a part of Cash's cheering section!

Liz

 

[videogal1]

I'm curious if we are going to have 1 or 2 character breakfasts? I like the character breakfasts, but I don't think I would go to both if we have two.

How many of you would go to two?

.

I wouldn't mind two, the characters are kind of cute but they sometimes turn Cash into a nervous wreck...He got away from me in the crowded atrium for a moment on the 10-day and, when the crowd thinned, I found him cautiously sniffing Sully's knees. He has a checkered history with the characters at the park chasing and stomping their feet at him so this was a great improvement.

You know, I could go for a Mickey waffle about now...

 

[angelaj]

We Will be Doing the Process For $99.00 in Cabin 7041

They are Called Crest White strips..

FUNNY!!!!!!!!

 

[angelaj]

Cabin 7042 only $9.99, we use whiteout.

EVEN FUNNIER!!!!!!!!

You people keep me in stitches!

 

[videogal1]

I'd love to attend and be a part of Cash's cheering section!

Liz

Yayyy!

 

[karaeric]

Oh, and thanks to all who posted about booking Palo and Spa online! I spent most of my morning (shhhh! don't tell my boss) booking for us and for my parents. Nice thing is I booked two Palo dinners (one for us, one for them), but all for 4 people! So we get to eat dinner there twice. But I only booked one brunch and one tea. We had wanted the tea on the last day, but I couldn't book that one fast enough, so we're now doing tea on the day of the canal crossing.

Thanks again!!!

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

Well, maybe that's what I'll need to do for Cash...He and the vet did a one-two visit today...He was one sweet dog and the vet suggested two things to him: lose weight and lose weight...obese dog, my foot......aargh...

Lynda: Cash is welcome to join us on our morning jog around Deck 4. Maybe you should get that scooter turbo equipped so you can "run" with him...LOL

Thank you to everyone for the condolences regarding Rex. It means a lot to me and to Joe as well.

Watching the Travel Channel now ... WDW is on. Cruise Line is next and just what I need to pick me up today.

 

[Q's My Princess]

I'm waiting to watch the Travel Channel.

In the meantime, I've calculated clothing allowances:
2 Formal
3 Semi-formal (includes 1 Palo dinner) (possibly more)
1 Pirate
1 Tropical
7 Cruise Casual

Now, I'm pulling all the clothes together in an effort to not pack too much! I don't even want to tell you how many pairs of white pants I have pulled out!!

[webray]

Wow.. this new system is great. Sure wish I would have checked in late last night or earlier today. You guys were busy booking like crazy! I was able to get a Brunch in addition to our one with the group. Still trying to figure out when we can fit in a dinner... I need to have that chocolate souffle! (Will they make it at Brunch if I ask them???)

I've been a bit stressed today ...our old man Rex passed away this morning. He had been declining over the last week and we knew it wouldn't be much longer. Now he's at peace and not in pain, but it's been rough. This cruise can't come soon enough... 211 hours till we board

Sorry to hear about Rex.
