5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 2

[BWVPam]

Hi all. Where did you find the thing about allowing jeans in the dining rooms. I would like to read it. That is all my teenager needs to see. He already is telling me he doesn't want to wear slacks on our cruise next year.

And another top to boot!

On the main boards, there is a thread where someone said "I know you can't wear jeans, but are denim skirts okay".........

Ah, the DCL Princess from our dinner rotation. Such memories. You notice in the pics, she is standing. So we can all get a good look at her.

I need opinions! We are flying to Orlando late on May 25, as soon as school is out. On Thursday the 26th, the plan is to head to the east coast for three days, so the scuba divers can swim around in the ocean together. I've been trying to figure out how to amuse myself for three days while they are diving. I assume Sharon will be working on Thursday and Friday. I'm not much of a shopper, nor am I a beach person, and Kevin has already told me that he doesn't want to listen to me whine. So I'm kind of sort of thinking getting a value room at WDW if there are AP discounts to be had for the three nights (it is Memorial Day weekend, so maybe not), and doing some solo days there. The rest of the family would probably join me on Saturday night (I hope), and we check into OKW on Sunday the 29th. Anyone ever done a solo trip? Do you all think I would enjoy myself? Better yet, is anyone going to be in the area that would want to visit the parks with me, or go to DTD?

 

[dzneprincess]

Diana, I am thinking of going ahead and getting AP's this year, so we can take a trip before our cruise next year, and get 2 trips out of one. I was going to go during Sprng break, and then I realized if I held off on buying them, they would be good next year for our trip. SO I am seriously considering, but I am sure you dont want to be galavanting around with a fat chic and her kids! LOL

 

[justmestace]

Hey, hey....she has gallavanted around with THIS fat chick!!

Diana...boy, do I understand that dilemma...LOL...I brought Megan with me to WDW last August because I didn't want to be alone! Wanna borrow her?
It's easy for me to say that I would grab a room at WDW if I had a chance like yours...and I would do it...now. I guess the difference now is that I'm more familiar with WDW than I was bac then. Since we usually go to DL, I am more comfortable there. I would go to DL alone in a heartbeat!!

I need opinions!

You have time before we go to get certified ....... How about the April class???? (ducking from flying objects)

Diana - I've done WDW solo before and in fact will be doing 2 days solo this June when Mark is at a conference.

Try looking at the tours available and maybe taking one or two of those. You get to meet up with some great people many who are also solo (e.g. I spent most of my time with one woman whose husband was golfing. They have some great ones in both Epcot and Magic Kingdom.

 

[Dancind]

Mary, I love that idea. A tour or two would be great. And I was just thinking, I could go to the attractions that Alicia refuses to return to (we've done them once!) because they are too "boring". For instance, the Hall of Presidents, the American Adventure, the France movie. This is starting to sound better and better! The only thing that I'm a little leery about is being out in the evenings, but I would probably get over it.

Amanda, I'd go for that! We could be TWO fat chicks with kids! Do I get to claim a couple?

Come on, AP discounts!

Anyone notice that I ignored a certain person's suggestions?

Last May, As only a good friend would, I made the sacrifice to leave the family at home with dh and spend a few days at WDW joining a childhood friend who was competing in the 1/2 ironman triathlon. She competed - I didn't - I was her "groupie - fan club" But, since she had professional sponsorship obligations before the race, went to bed early the night before and left on an earlier flight than I did, I spent quite a bit of time on my own and I had a blast!!! I saw what I wanted to see, did what I wanted to do, when I was done - I was done... We were also able to do a backstage tour of WDW - I was tempted to do another tour on my own - but, the hours didn't work out with my flight home.

I even was befriended by two 10 year olds while waiting in line for the tower of terror - I had never experienced it before and they shared their enthusiasm, and gave me plenty of tips, and warnings...

I think I drove John crazy, I'd call him with periodic updates of where I was and what I was doing...In theory, so he could "enjoy" the experience with me.

The best part, we decided, was seeing all of the hot, whiney kids, and stressed out parents, knowing that we weren't responsible for any of them!!!

IMHO, between "blowing bubbles" and the mouse- I'd choose a Mickey fix over scuba any day!!! (I'm not certified, I'm a former scuba widow-if there is such a thing - he doesn't have opportunities to dive around here)

Hey Stacey, sneak away and join me for a few days. The kids wouldn't notice, would they? I'd split the cost on a room at GF, since I know you don't do Value! LOL

That's just COLD......

 

[mickeymo]

And....As a solo rider - I got to line jump quite a few times...it was great - although, I wasn't sure I was ready to "jump" that far ahead on the Tower of Terror.

I really wanted to see Spectro Magic - so, just took a book with me and camped out on the curb and got a great spot...

I'd go solo again, in a heartbeat...

So Monica, will he be diving in Mexico on our cruise? I'll be looking for someone to hang out with there!

Oh Yeah, SPECTROMAGIC!!! My favorite parade, and I haven't seen it in ages. Kevin is a MK hater, I blame him. But we probably will see it on this trip a couple of times. We have two sets of guests to tour with, two separate weeks, both newbies. I think Spectromagic will be a must see.
