Big thanks to Debbie for the bonus fishtender that came in the mail today. I hung it up on Jeff's office door, lets see how long before he notices it!

Hey,

Anyone coming down in Dec. for Mousefest or anything else let me know. That's our favorite time to go to the parks and we'd love to meet up with you!

I am doing the short weekend for mousefest. I'm usually at the meets formerly known as RADP and I like to help Jen and Jeff torture people with their race.

Hi all. We've been home for a week now and are still trying to catch up with everything. The West Coast cruise was very different-900 kids, a less hectic pace for adult entertainment, and no pin lines. When arrived back in LA, we were off the ship quickly, had our luggage within 30 minutes, and got to LAX with plenty of time. We had a great flight home, got our luggage as soon as the luggage carosel started, and arrived home at 11:30 PM.
Sunday morning did not go as well. We awoke to realize our grass after three weeks of rain was ready for harvest and bailing. But we couldn't get the mower out of the garage because my truck had a flat tire. Took the tire to be repaired, unpacked the bags, and had to pick up the tire in the puoring rain.
Monday morning was a rude awakening to go off to work after three weeks on the Magic. We have most of the yard work done, finished going through digital pictures today (only 874), and finally caught up on disboard reading.
A reuion cruise in 2007 sounds great as does Alaska. Maybe the thread could be renamed "Panama Pajama Party Pin Pals". All the pictures posted look wonderful, especially the pirate outfit pictures. Hope everyone is doing well and recovering from illnesses and injuries. Alex

Elaine,

You forget that you went up with me to get a rose from Boyz II Men... You didn't seem to shy then! LOL!

Renae

Yes Renae but it was dark, I didn't have to talk to them and I had you as morale support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elaine

 

[auntrenae]

Elaine,

I know, if it wasn't dark I would never have had the courage to go up there myself! You made me brave right along with your mom... what a concert that was! You should have heard my sons when I called them to tell them what I'd done. They couldn't believe I did it or that we saw them in person. They just roll their eyes at me and laugh... They think I'm too old to do silly things anymore, but their wives loved it. Gotta love those dear girls... more fun than the boys for sure!!!

[karaeric]

Welcome home Alex and Carolyn! Glad you're back. Sounds like home welcomed you like it welcomed a lot of us, ! So how was Puerto Vallarta?

Eric and I would be very interested in a reunion cruise in '07 too! Count us in!

 

[karaeric]

Oh, and Eric and I will be going off to dinner in about three hours for our first DIS meet since the cruise! We're meeting Charlene & Andy (charwac1) for dinner tonight. It's gonna be hard not to grab that lanyard and slip it around my neck...

Scott, love the puppy cart! That is pretty cool.

Elaine, you looked brave to me as you accepted that rose from the Boyz to Men guy!

 

[Tink33]

Trust me....If I had seen Joey Fatone wandering around the ship, I probably wouldn't have had the nerve to go up to him to ask him for an autograph or picture (I would have just taken his picture from a distance).

Elaine, I could have got you an autograph when I was on stage with him. He offered to sign my leg.

 

[3DAN]

Bill, you have the entire show on tape???!!! I'm wondering if I could buy a copy from you. I loved all the Muppet stuff, and I only got the last part on tape (and not even the entire thing). That was my favorite show during the entire cruise and I would be a happy girl if I could have it all on tape. Please let me know! Thanks!

Angela Johnson

You know, you really get to me having the same name as my wife!!!!!! I gotta think about this for a while,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, There,, done.
Okay, now, back to business. AJ,,, I have to find it, but if I can do it , you can have it. Angela Johnson will have to help me figure out how to make a duplicate,,,,, HA!!!! you sort it out!!!!!HAHAHAHA (you see Angela, not everyone knows our little secret),,,
Billy made a tape of the Boys II Men concert , then rewound it and we taped right over it. I could just shrivel up and die!!!! Please explain to me why someone rewinds a tape after it has been used and puts it in the bag. It's not like we're going to play it .
AJ,, I'm going to forget as Angela is having the surgery on the 21st. This coming week is going to be bad , not to mention when she is out for weeks from the office.
Scott, I need to get the exact address of their home. I know it is on Penway Street, Indianapolis, Indiana. Let you know shortly.

Oh Bill, now my head is spinning! AJ, Angela Johnson, AJ, Angela Johnson. Who am I???

Well, if you can find it, I will gladly pay for a blank tape and for postage. Those Muppet sequences were so dear to my heart and I'd love to have them.

Thanks,
Angela Johnson (not wife of Bill)

Trust me....If I had seen Joey Fatone wandering around the ship, I probably wouldn't have had the nerve to go up to him to ask him for an autograph or picture (I would have just taken his picture from a distance). With all you guys it was different...I felt like I already knew you but we hadn't met yet!!!!

Trust me....If I had seen Joey Fatone wandering around the ship, I wouldn't have known who he was.......... Truly!!!

Just got back from dinner with my folks...went to Ft Collins, CO to meet them at Coopersmith's. It's the first time I've seen them since last summer. They're snowbirds and weren't back until after we left for the cruise. Sure have missed them!!! Told them we met some INTEResting people....(Elaine and Tony/Adrienne/Alvaro and Scott/Lynn) came up in conversation....

They want to do a cruise with us!! I told them to plan for Alaska, 2007....now Disney just has to hold up their end of the bargain!!!

Scott, I've been meaning to say how cute Lynn and the puppy look....your "puppy" is bigger than my 3 put together.....and I'm guessing, sheds more, too! 2 of mine are allergy-free...bichons. That is, allergy free til they roll in the grass and come cuddle......

Hope everyone's weekend is going well.....we got the jungle taken care of this am, and it looks SO great...I can find the dogs again!!!

 

[auntrenae]

This is for the scrapbookers... I have my pics from the class if any of you want some prints. You can go to Snapfish to see them and get prints from there. PM or email me if you want to so I can give you the link.

Bill, I can't believe someone taped over your Boyz II Men concert! Our son did the same thing with our tape of our whole first cruise! We had just showed it to them and left for the evening, he taped a show he wanted to watch later... AAAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!! Tony and Adrienne got some good photos of it, though, you could ask them for the website to get copies... Mine came out blurry ( new camera is my excuse)

Welcome home Alex and Carolyn! Glad you're back. Sounds like home welcomed you like it welcomed a lot of us, ! So how was Puerto Vallarta?

Puerto Vallarta was very nice, kind of like Cabo. The people were very friendly and venders not too agressive. We would love to go back for another visit. Alex

A reuion cruise in 2007 sounds great as does Alaska. Maybe the thread could be renamed "Panama Pajama Party Pin Pals". Alex

Alex, welcome back, and I think you have a great idea for the new thread name. Seems very fitting since all "pin" lines are no more!


Robin

 

[Mickey&JoshNut]

I have a funny pin line story from Cabo San Lucas.

Kelli and I went shopping after our excursion but we had to get back to the ship so we had to be quick with our shopping. We went to the Del Sol shop and then I wanted to go to the Hard Rock Cafe to get a pin to add to my Hard Rock Cafe collection and when we walked in there must have been 30 or so customers waiting around the counter to be served. I turned to Kelli and said "Come on it's too busy, getting my pin is not that important". A lady that was standing in line turned to me and said "oh come on this is nothing I KNOW you've waitied in longer pin lines than this on the ship!!!!!!" I was so embarrased so needless to say..we stayed and ended up standing in the right spot because the guy behind the counter came right over to me and asked me what I wanted. No waiting for us.

He certainly had a lot of spots to choose from.

Wow, I can't imagine doing three weeks First Timers. What a track record you have! I'm GREEN with envy.

Sounds like a reunion cruise is definitely in the making. I already told DH that we're in. He's ready.
