4/29/06 Eastern Magic...We're Going!!!!!

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

Joseph,

There is a casino in St. Maarten, in fact I think that there are 3 total. I can't teach you how to sell, you are either born with it or not, but I know grasshopper that you have it in you, you just have to find your happy spot (that would be with us on the cruise) and let it out.

Pango is in Kokomo, IN on business and will be home tonight, I tell you if that picture doesn't get him to post I don't know what will. That was a Good Time.....Good Times....Lets do it again Joseph.

Castlegazer, Welcome aboard this is a pretty happy group, happy hour in fact is all day long on the Disney Cruise. We will introduce you to Jamica James (the King of Beat the Clock), Kadir, and of course BowTie Favorite Natalie from Austraila (JenLynn all she did was replace a Drink that got spilled). If you are up for people yelling your name on the Great Seas across Deck 10 than you will fit right in.

Tom

Head Gear you had better get off your *** and post.

 

[castlegazer]

Hey - so if it tips your scale a little more to going - we're a lot of fun!!!! We're experienced cruisers - just not on Disney yet.

Oh yeah - yell away!!! I am not shy! Although my real name has "shy" in it.

Oh, and Tom, my family's from Adrian, MI - I was born a Yankee, but my parents are from there and they have HUGE families. I have 1000s of cousins in Michigan.

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

Castlegazer,

Some of our very good friends live in Adrian (or as I call it YO) and work at Brazeway, we see them at the Michigan State football tailgates, we meet them in baby classes before we had Belle.

BTJ,

I love you man, but I am telling you it will get ugly if I don't see a guy with a half full Beer Mug on my cruise.

Tom

 

[DisneyJam]

Yes Tom there are casinos at our stops, but not on board and at night after the shows is when our gambling friends would want to play.

You should have seen the bar tab after all the refills of the mug!!

We'll have to start our office TDS list...

Making great friends on the May 1st magic. This doens't suck!

 

[Belle&RellasMom]

Say it ain't so Joe...

I would have thought that a big, bad, beer drinking, computer geek like yourself would have a little more pull with your friends! Just who wears the pants in these friendships anyway? I say blow them all off and go with us! Let them go on their big RCCL casino boat and blow all of their money on slots and craps...you can come with us and blow your money on something much more worthwhile....BEER

By the way, I am loving the pictures...keep them coming!!!

 

[JenLynn]

It will be heartbreaking to go on a cruise in April and have it not be with you guys ... but it is looking like that is a strong possibility.

Trust me, Joe is working the angles wtih Camera Chris and his wife, but they are not interested in repeating the same exact cruise (since it is the only cruise they have ever been on). They want to do the Western Disney. Joe wants Eastern Disney with ya'll or else RCCL to the southern caribbean.... i just want everyone to be happy and in all honesty there is no way that is going to happen!

Well, i do have a solution but BowTie didn't like this idea .... my idea was to do back-to-back Disney cruises ... the Western Caribbean with our gang from here .... and then the following week on the Eastern with you!!! Now c'mon ... doesn't that sound like the perfect solution????

Now Tom, can you give me some sales lessons so i can talk BTJ into that plan?

 

[PhillyJen2006]

JenLynn and BTJ, I don't see what the problem is.....we have been planning a cruise with HG's family as well as my family and we just told them to go %$#! themselves we are going on a Disney cruise, with or without you.....

Actually, we haven't exactly told Pat's family, but if they go....who will pick up my drunk husband at the pier and let him puke in their brand new Suburban......ON HIS BIRTHDAY NO LESS!!!! Sorry Tom, I didn't think to take out my camera, cause if you remember correctly, we had just lost Hannah on the elevator a few minutes before that!!!!

Where is everyone tonight? Patty, you can't just post once and think you are all cool!!! You have read, Tom is not kidding, he will come and find you....if he has to telemarket to do it!!! and Tom, I think you are pretty good at that telemarketing thing. I could have sworn it was Disney Cruise line themselves calling me on friday night trying to sell me on the cruise!!!!

Got to get the girls to bed. My mom sold 14 bracelets today!!!! I guess I have to get to work......I need to start thinking about Pink Pearl Designs commission or incentive program! If I could hang at the SPA all day, I would sell bracelets too!!!! BUT NO- I am out peddling car parts. So glamourous!!!

Oh- I guess that is a new thing since last time, my mom and I started a small custom jewelry business( it was in the works during the cruise), mother's bracelets, custom wedding jewelry and stuff. It is a lot of fun and really just what we needed to fill EVERY POSSIBLE FREE MOMENT!!!


Anyway, probably won't post again tonight. You know, the baseball game and all.....GAG!!!

Have a great night, y'all!!! Talk tomorrow. JenLynn and BTJ- we didn't get to hang last time, you get to hang with Camera Chris and wife all the time.......
PJ

 

[DisneyJam]

Well I agree, Tom is quite the salesman! I was on the phone with him about an hour ago and I am ready to buy the bridge he has for sale.

And actually I am all for JenLynn's solution, I just need to find that kind for cash. hmmm maybe I can pimp JenLynn.

Philly Jen, I like the way you think and you are right I see the camera man and his wife quite a bit.

How can I not hit a cruise with gals that drink like this...

BTW.. if anyone wants me to take down a pic just let me know.

I will be in a training seminar tomorrow and Friday, so I probably won't be able to post till the evening.

And still no Pango!?!?!?!?

 

[Belle&RellasMom]

Okay, I only have a quick minute here because The Bachelor is on so I need to type fast during the commercial...here is my question to BTJ...if we promise to be your paparazzi will you dump Camera Chris and join us???

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

Well I am having a pretty exciting night, I am at a Hotel in Holland, MI so I am watching the BoSox beat the Yanks 6-1 in the 4th and make that 8 to 1 since Damon just hit his 2nd homer, and waiting for this thread to livin up a little bit. I did talk not only to Joe tonight but also his lovely wife JenLynn, Joe knows to expect a daily phone call until he books this cruise, (I truely believe that he is on our side, he just doesn't want to hurt his friends) and I have asked him for a phone number for Camera Chris (I hope they all have Verizon so they are in).

PhillyJen, I am sure that there will be plenty of opportunity for us to take pictures of Headgear Pat (that is if he really still exists) in that rare form again. You also might want to take it easy on Patty, at least you have a friend who actually posted to our site. Wife our friends are LAME LAME LAME LAME LAME LAME LAME LAME, I hope you are all reading this you posers.

Castegazer, did we scare you off already? If you are going to hang you need to pick it up a little. I figure your watching the Sox, but I am giving updates right here so don't worry you won't miss anything.

Jeff, Pango, Headgear Pat, you guys are from the original thread, lets go men.

Tom

 

[mermaidpatty]

It's entertaining reading everythign that everyone writes. Busy here selling Diseny cruises (actually 3 today & 1 royal caribbean). On my way to annual convention in Palm Beach till the 27th, so you won't see me for a while

I'm still trying to recruit for the 1/16/04 Golden Princess- southern caribbean- no kids!!! Mommies & Daddies only. There still is nothing like Disney- the experience is worth it all. I'll get back as soon as I can.

 

[PhillyJen2006]

Hi Guys!

BTJ- I just wanted to know how you got those pics onto your post? I have pictures on webshots, will they work?

I cannot tell you how glad I am to see that Boston won last night. I truly haven't seen my hubby for a week. He is a Yankees fan and so I guess I am not going to have to suffer through the world series this year!!! Yay Me!

Patty-We'll miss you. Keep selling those cruises!!

PJ

 

[PhillyJen2006]

 

[PhillyJen2006]

Sorry, I am still trying to figure out how to get a pic in there!!!


HELLLPPPPP, calling all computer geeks.....I can' t bother my hubby cause he is working on my website, and really that should have been done months ago....

PJ

 

[JenLynn]

Hi Jen!! I am pretty new to the whole web publishing thing myself! If i understand this correctly, you need to host your pics at a website (not a webshots kinda thing). I have a website for my students (and in case anyone is interested in checking it out ... it is www.carangal.com) and BowTie is hosting his picks there (via my service). We can link directly to them, but they aren't seen on my website. If you have a webhost for your jewelry site, you can host the pics there (and again, just put them on the webhost's server, you don't have to actually have them on your website). If you need to, i can post them with my host ... just e-mail them to BowTie or myself.

I am sure this is clear as mud, but i am running out the door to head to school ... i'll check back tonight.

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

Remember lets not get off focus, JenLynn and BowTie Joe still need to book this cruise.

 

[castlegazer]

woah hey, hey woah! You all are a little too fast with the posting for me - I am a 9-5 DIS'r - and I've got calls for me to keep up the traveling DIS'r thread, which I am failing miserably at I might add, and to get on the stick with my work load -which is burrying me. I work in corporate commercial real estate.

Anything I can do to to tip the scales? - Although, I've got to say, you all are a bit more down the road than I am with the friends cruising thing. I can not for the life of me convince any of our traveling buddies who we go to Disney and other vacations with, to even think about cruising with us. I say screw 'em - we're going to go on a cruise and have the time of our lives!!! I have been waititng for many years to start cruising again and no one else's schedule is going to get in the way for me going. My friends know when we are going - they can come if they want to or stay home and mope - completely up to them.

(oh, and to be a complete traitor to everyone trying to get you on DCL - we LOVE - LOVE - LOVE Princess and the Grand Princess. I came very, very close to sailing the Caribbean Princes this past year - love those movies under the stars)

 

[DisneyJam]

Only have a minute here as I am in geek training.

PJ - As jen said you have to host the file on a public web server. Not to go too geek here, but when you hit a web site a server is responsible for providing that content. In our case, Jen has set up and account with a hosting company, and I have uploaded the pics there. Then to link them to the post i give the address of the pic ie. www.mypic.com. This is wrapped in the IMG tag. You should see an IMG button on the post edit screen.

If you have a site for your business, you should be able to up load your photos there, and if not we would be happy to host them for you. App architech Headgear should be able to help you with this.

Tom -- I love you man! I still need to forward you the contact info you need.

 

[PhillyJen2006]

Castlegazer, we have sailed the Grand Princess and it is wonderful! We have also sailed RCCL and Celebrity. I am proud to say I am a food and wine snob!!! While, yes, they are wonderful ships, they just do not have the "magic" this ship does. In fact, after the disney cruise, we all thought we would cruise again this year, but just not on Disney. We thought about the Mariner(who saw my Boo@s after St. Thomas) and when it came down to it, the Magic can't be beat for that look that it puts on your kids faces for an entire week!!!! I just got tears in my eyes remembering when they announced the Metzler family from Philadelphia! And it never stopped for the entire cruise! And yes, there are ALOT of children on board and no matter what people say, you do see them.....ALOT! But in a few years, my kids are going to be beyond the Disney Magic feeling and want something else!!!! I want to give them this while they are still in absolute awe of everything they see for an entire week! It was an experience that can't be duplicated(unless we take another Disney cruise!!!).... And we cruised with great friends who have the same parenting philosophy that we do, keep your kids busy with stuff and we can drink and have fun!!! Just kidding. WE haven't actually booked, but we will. After our Tax return this year. And I have hired an accountant so it will be done early!!!

Patty is going to make sure we get adjoining balcony cabins so 1 can be the party room.

Question, is everyone getting early dining again? I think it worked out fine! Actually, if you ask our dining companions, we didn't stay out past 10pm 1 night, and the last....well you heard the details!!!!

Hope all is well in MI-Tom, you are seeing to it the GWB wins that state correct!!! NOw would be the time to start using your selling skills.

Hope all is well in MD, MA , VA and NY!!! Can't wait to hear from you all!!!!

Think about Patty, she is in Palm Beach right now while the rest of us are freezing out butts off. Actually-Rush is in his southern command this week. Patty- Say Hi to Rush if you see him!

Love,
PJ

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

What is up everyone? It is friday and it is one more week down before we all go cruisin together. We have a big Halloween party this weekend, after we go to three soccer games tomarrow and 2 soccer practices tonight, the party is actually going to be at one of our so called friends who refuses for some reason to post on this sight. C'mon Doc and Leis, get on the ball and post, since Pango hasn't got up to it yet, you need to step up baby.

Joe, the website that you listed I think is in Italian, did you do that on purpose? If so, man you are deep, book the damn cruise would ya.

PhillyJen, first your husband is lame, mixes a fantastic key lime martini, but nonetheless lame for not posting. As far as delivering the state, I think I am a good salesman but when you have the big three and the UAW (who by the way put in their contract that they get every election day off) in your back yard it is tough. Right now Jane Fonda's friend has a 47 to 43 percent lead in the last poll I saw, gotta love Mr. Nader who has 3%, but W is not done, and I will continue on. Julie can't wait for the election to get over, but this is what I live for, I love it.

Castlegazer, I like your attitude about your friends and getting them to go on vacation with you. I live by a motto when it comes to Disney vacations " For those that don't understand, no explaination will do, for those that do understand no explaination is necessary".

"TGIF"

Tom
