5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 6

[ohiominnie]

Yeah, I really hope Sasha wins! I like her, she's so musical and dancerly (ok, not a word) when she's skating.

not a word, but I LIKE it!! "dancerly"....has a ring to it.

yes. she is grace and beauty. Not just athletic-ly

I was wondering...how many are planning on doing a Palo's brunch? On our first 7 day cruise, We had a group of DIS'ers who all had brunch together in the private dining room in Palo's. I'm not sure how it was arranged..I know we gave our cabin number to a lady from the group and she set it up. Does anyone think that is a good idea?? If so..does anyone know how to set it up??

Mike

Hi Mike!

I forgot to answer your note...
My husband and I were thinking about going to Palo for brunch...what morning did you have in mind? (We're hoping to get Palo dinner reservations on Tuesday pm.)

Who else is up for brunch???

Also, I heard that the teens and tweens have their own thread going? How do my boys join????

Thanks.

Greetings everyone ,

I do not know if there is any way that I can keep up with a 27500+ post thread, but I will give it a try!

I wanted to stop in and join the thread and hopefully get to know some of the people who we will be sailing with on the May 27 Double Dip! On the cruise it will be my wife (Beckie - not on the DIS) and myself.

We did the Wonder in January 2001 on our honeymoon, but we were unable to dock at CC because of weather . I am excited about the double dip, this way we can finally (5+ years later) make it to CC.

Paul

welcome Paul!!! Kevin and Diana are also from ABQ! And I have family that lives in Taos, Chamisal and Penasco!

 

[dzneprincess]

Hi-I am Linda from Iowa. I have been reading this thread for approximately 2 months and decided to take the plunge and join in. I have 2 children, DS-John almost 8, and DD-Meighan age 6. I am looking forward to my first official vacation in 10 years-in addition to my first cruise experience ever!! I don't have any questions yet-the DIS is a great place to obtain information, and I have learned lots. I wish everyone a great rest of the day!!

Hi Linda from Ohio! Welcome!!!!!! Glad you decided to jump in!

OK who is scaring these folks out of hiding??!?! LOL

 

[tinksdad]

Probably something YOU said!!!!!!

Now you're going to use my own sticky-pokey thing against me.......

 

[dzneprincess]

Welcome Paul and Linda!!

Don't worry about trying to catch up..everyone will help you out with anything you need!!

Uhmmmm Mike,
Did we neglect to tell you of the pop quiz that will be handed out at the port as well as the initiation act to join the thread?? It involves the Chattahoochie River

 

[tinksdad]

Speaking of the test....

I've thought of this on several occasions. Wouldn't it be fun to have a "pop-quiz" on obscure facts that you have learned about the ppl on this thread?

And the winner gets free dinner at Lumiere's or something???

Ok, Ok, the winner gets *some* token to show they have good memories (or spend way too much time on the DIS!)

They had one for the member cruise....and it was kinda fun hunting down ppl getting information.

Although they'd have to be obscure...things that ppl may or may not remember you sharing. They couldn't be easy like "who meets men from the DIS in Vegas?" and "who is referred to as HH?"

Hmmm.....hmmmm....anyone interested? I'll put it together.

Cool! I know the answer to BOTH of those!!

 

[tinksdad]

Howdy to Paul and Becky!!
We missed CC on our 5 Feb cruise last year and that is the reason we wanted this particular cruise too!

Howdy to Linda, John and Meighan!!!
All of you will love the cruise. It may be hard to cruise any other line after this one!

ohiominnie,
Sorry to hear about your glasses episode...hopefully, you'll be able to pick them up soon so you can see!!!

Hope you all have a good night...I plan on watching the figure skating tonight.
Take care ALL!!!

susan

Jeez, rub it in! Karen can't see anything....

 

[itdjbw]

Hi there! I'm new to this group, but admittedly have been lurking on and off for awhile! It is intimidating for me to jump right in since you all already have well over 1000 pages to this thread!!!

I'll start off by introducing the fam:
We have my DH Paul , DS1 Adam (15) , and DS2(13) , as well as myself, Susan . We live in CT where it is 33 degrees and are looking forward to the May 27th cruise which will be our 2nd DCL cruise.

We have 6pm dining rotation and are linked with MIL & FIL and another family (friends of ours).

We look forward to meeting new friends, so please ask questions and I'd love to know more about all of you---w/o reading every page!!!

susan

Welcome to you and the family

susan

The best thing to do is sign them both up with their own screen names and then point them in this direction. Remind them to sign off and then sign on if they change who is writing so their responses don't get confused with the previous poster. Happens ALL the time here.....

BTW, you might have to clear your cookies too!!

 

[scuba diver]

Where was the drink warning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Darn near choked on an apple




Sue

Sorry, but drink warning won't help when you are eating.

 

[scuba diver]

So I left, glassess-less.

Hopefully that won't affect your ice skating tonight.

 

[WDWLVR]

Web page update!Linda sent me her familie's information tonight and I got Susan's last night. All have been updated on the web page. Come and meet everyone!

 

[tinksdad]

Hopefully that won't affect your ice skating tonight.

This has been a "banner" day for you Sir Scuba!!

Hi Susan!

Well, I guess we are going to go whichever day we can get it for. Since there are only 2 sea days..it might be hard to book. We will know on Sun!
We haven't really decided on what day to do the dinner..it will probably depend on when we get the brunch. I do like the idea of dinner on Tue night since it is formal night anyway. So if it works out OK, I guess Thurs would be best for brunch. There will be my wife and I and our daughter for both occasions.

WELCOME, WELCOME all of our new people. Seems like it is a busy day with our new folks coming on.

I have a little shirt/bag update -- We should have the order form in by early next week. I have been in training the last two days at work, but have touched bases with the vendor and she is making some changes we requested.

Also, instead of the flat $10 shipping, it is now going to be based on actual costs. I was concerned because we had some people just ordering shirts and others just ordering bags. I hated for the people just ordering shirts to pay $10. Unfortunately, we won't know the actual costs until the packaging is done and weighed and it depends on what zone it will go to. It may be a few dollars less then $10 or it may be a couple $$ more than 10.

We have also changed the deadline date to April 7. I want to have time to get all the orders and go through them to make sure nothing is missing before turning them over to the vendor. Because we can't fit anymore onto the form, if you are having your shirts embroidered, you will need to attach a sheet and print out your name/size for each shirt you want embroidered.

Okay -- any questions, please let me know. I will try to check in this weekend, but it will be very busy with the kids. We have a jazz festival for the older son on Saturday and Ashley has her season swim championships this weekend.

It truly is a small, small world. (lets all sing together...it's a small world after all.... )

OK enough of that! It is nice to see that some other people from Albuquerque will be on the cruise.

Kevin, I do not scuba dive unfortunately. I am a distance runner (marathons, 1/2 marathons, etc.), and I am considering taking my running shoes and getting a run in at CC. That could be a lot of fun. I am wondering when (if) I will even find the time to do any snorkeling during the cruise.

We have not decided yet on our excursions/spa treatments. Any recommendations?

We have a DD who is almost 2, but she will not be going on this cruise with us. My in-laws will be taking her to WDW for the week that we are on the cruise. It will be very hard to leave her behind, but I figure that give me the excuse to rebook for another cruise next year!

If I can ever figure out how to post pictures, I will post a picture of my DD.

Thanks everyone for the welcomes!

Paul

 

[McFamily2]

Okay, PIF and 90 days is coming up. Can

Are the "Ages" on the online excursion booking suggestions or rules? We want to do the dolphin excursion at CM but DS is 4 and the age is 5. (Also have DD7 and DD8)

Same question for CC excursion that includes bike rental. DS4 can ride well with training wheels and won't be happy in a seat behind me.

Mostly plan on doing absolutely nothing on whatever beach we happen to be on but would like to do the above and a little snorkeling.

Always open to suggestions.

Paul

Paul, there is no reason why you can do both, scuba and running. I'm just starting the distance running so I am not in your league. I'm hoping to run the Disney 1/2 marathon in January. Possibly the marathon next year.

I've been thinking about a run at CC too, but is it possible to find a place to run that is not full of people?

By all means, bring your shoes. There is always deck 4.

BTW - I just got my new Garmin FR 205.

 

[TiggerInNY]

WELCOME all new our new cruisers. Can't wait to meet y'all. Let me introduce myself & family. I'm Maria, DH-Augie, DS-AJ(10), DS-Anthony(6). We're from NY and this is our first DCL cruise. We are so looking forward to it.

Please don't be intimidated by our post #s. Most of it is fluff. As you can see, it is getting to be mostly cruise related now. Don't forget, if you're interested in getting a T-shirt or bag to check out Mary's (WDWLVR) website for all the info.

Carry on people....
