2006 DVC Member Cruise - SSMC06 - October 22, 2006

[alikat99]

I can't play much longer. Gary took the boys to school this AM. I need to get the rest of the crew up and out the door to pick them up. But, I still have about 15 minutes.

Oh no, you can't leave us!!! We're having too much fun!!!

 

[alikat99]

Weren't you the one who never even had a konk kooler on SSMC05??

No worry, I had one for you!

Oh, I had one too. Yummy, yummy, yummy. And, with this cruise having two days at CC, I'll have more opportunities for Konk Koolers. We'll all have to find a place together on the beach to enjoy. I only ended up seeing Cindy & her family on the beach and they ended up leaving us to go bike-riding.

Oh no, you can't leave us!!! We're having too much fun!!!

If I stay, that means I've abandoned the kids at school. Then I'll be in jail for call in and that won't do me any good.

I'll be back tonight for chat.

Yes, I was. And I was the one who sang the praises of the konk kooler for months before the cruise. I don't know what happened. I did get really overwhelmed with the girls at the beach, so I'm chalking it up to that. Next year, they'll be old enough to fend more for themselves (well as much as a 2 and 3 year old can!) so I'll be able to have a few. Hey, now that I'm thinking about it, a couple of konk koolers would have made the day a little less overwhelming for me!

We are not doing that again! One time bike riding on CC was enough. Nope, we're staying on the beach.

I hope Cameron & Gail get to parasail!! The weather didn't cooperate for them to last time.

That's ok, I probably can't stay much longer either. Even though Chris picked Emily up from school, I'm sure that as soon as she walks in the door, Maddie will wake up and I'll be pulled from the computer.

WOW! Bruce, I didn't think you were much of a drinker.

And I think I only spent time with Nick (Stacy's DS) when he couldn't find his grandparents!

I know, Chris didn't get to parasail either, and that was the one thing that he wanted to do. So, hopefully, with 2 days at CC, as long as the weather holds out, they will be able to go.

I really have to get going. You all have fun. See you tonight.

This so reminds me of the days prior to us sailing on the SSMC05.

We are going to have a blast getting ready for SSMC06!!!!

Mine are ready to get up any second....and the real Bruce will be home in an hour, so I need to get that laundry put away that I've been folding the whole time I've been here!

Isn't that the truth!?!?!?!? This is going to be a blast. But, we all need to get on first. Keep those dialing fingers exercised today.

Alright, that means that I should go do some housework and I'll see you guys back here on chat at 9pm EST (8pm for those central folks).

Thats it if I keep coming back to look I just might book this trip. Ha Ha. I must have resistance, must have resistance....

I called the Visa Company for anyone who is going to be paying cash versus points. If you use your Visa for booking through DCL you will get 0% interest for 6 months.

There are not too many good reasons to have the Disney Visa, but this is probably the best reason!

Great news - one question about it - the charges did not come from DCL last year, they came from DVC, do you think it's the same?

 

[chipscinderelly]

He's going to like it to. When my nephew was little and Finding Nemo just came out he called my house and asked to speak with Uncle Bruce the Shark. He called him that for like a year.

 

[chipscinderelly]

Poor Judd got kicked off last night, and if Cindy holds out on us, she may too! Cindy, the tribe has spoken......

ACK where was the spoiler alert there BRUCIE???? I haven't watched last night yet ACK

 

[chipscinderelly]

Woo hoo over 700 posts


oh and now you all leave and I'm talking to myself.

 

[ohiominnie]

Hey, Karen, I could share the tip with you today. Especially if your still not going. How much is it worth to you?

PM me Cindy....I am NOT going. Would love be in your little alliance. I swear, if I make the jury, I'll vote for you....unless of course, I vote for someone else!

 

[crzy4dals]

It is decision time.....
I still do not know what to do.... I am great at talking myself out of anything I want.

I have printed out the deck maps to look at rooms..... I have options written down; BUT UUUGGGHHHH.... I still can't say 100% yes to this. The only real con I can come up with is the $$$$$ due all at once. I will have 3 bonuses paid out by the time the cruise rolls around and this would cover the costs of this trip. BUT they are bonuses and not guaranteed.

This stinks!

as soon as I make my trek home I have to put pen to paper..... AGAIN.

I have not caught up on the last 20 pages yet. Did anyone find out if gratuities were included this year?

Thanks
