8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #10

[m&m's mom]

Can I just say this comment is stressing me out. There is no way we will get to the port this early from the DT.


We were on the June 8 cruise and we arrived at the port at 9:30 and there were already plenty of people inside. We were able to line up for check-in at 9:45 and they began check-in at 10am. Hope this helps!

Ours closed too. Bummer!

At the risk of having to walk the plank ....and with most sincere humble apologies to the Captain.... I had to remove the banner from my signature. No, not because we're canceling or anything, but shockingly, I had this heartbreaking need to replace it after hearing that the Adventurer's Club (and most all of PI) is closing in September!!!!!

So much for the TSA. I was just unpacking and found a 12oz bottle of water that was in my carry-on. No one will confess to putting it in my bag and it obviously was not caught.
When I was going through DFW on the way through and forgot to take out my "3-1-1" baggie and they completely took apart my carry-on.
According to Readers Digest the pilots think it is all for show anyway.

When we went thru orlando a few weeks ago my 3-1-1 was in my carryon and nothing was said about it...


Brendan and I saw Wall-E..really cute movie!

Tell me exactly how to do this. If I just go to Google Earth and do that, nothing happens.

Stacey you may not have the latest version of Google Earth. If you hit Ctrl + Alt + A all at the same time there is a easter egg flight simulator embedded in Google earth. You have a choice of a F-16 or a prop plan. Not exactly MS Flight Simulator but fun.

Not my petition, but thanks. Even though I feel it won't help, it's better than doing nothing. I am so broken up about this.... no doubt I'm a member of the AC "cult". Anyway, I felt so awful I started figuring whether or not I could fit in a quick weekend trip for me and my niece. She had a great time in April and I promised to take her there when she turned 16 so she could drop a quarter into the Zeus bank. I can probably swing it, and it'd be in just two weeks.... just have to talk to my brother now. Cross your fingers.

But I was feeling so "ehhhhh" today that it forced me to get a lot of things crossed off my TOAL pre-cruise checklist. Ordered my FE gifts, returned 3 pairs of shoes, returned some clothes I bought last night but really didn't like, bought another pair of shoes, bought more clothes I do like, took pictures of my gowns to take to the hair dressers next week, ordered some MyPoint gift certificates, and worked in the garden.

Oh, did I mention I fell this morning, too. Was trying to show off on how much the Wii Fit is helping me and I tried to support myself on the backs of two chairs using just my arms. Did it once, no one saw. Did it again, got a cramp in my leg, and fell backwards on my bum. Landed on some boxes and other junk. Nothing big, but just really, really sore. Phrase of the day "Oh my achin' butt".

Hi all! Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Stormed all last night and looks like more on the way. I feel like a duck with all this rain! LOL! I see our posts are still getting scrambled. Ketchuping up will be an adventure.

That's terrible! I've posted my story on the Dis before. But, the guy yelled and berated me for quite sometime -- my dh was with 2 of the kids buying drinks & snacks -- I didn't see a CM and none of the people sitting around us said anything.
I sat there and told him that perhaps he should read the rules and listen to the announcements and he would know there is no saving seats.
When my dh got to the seats the guy shut up -- my dh is over 6 ft and this guy was probably all of 5'8" -- and then he sat right next to me.
When he realized that I didn't care and his wife, mother & some other relative all came down and told him they didn't want to sit there.... that was when he dumped the drink and said *Ha Ha now you can't use that seat* What a moron.

We didn't know it was them until we say his DW and DD on deck later that night. He had a Jersey accent and hearing him telling the story the next night was funny. Apparently the "lady" told him that she was saving the seat and when he said that he was going to sit there she made a rude comment, which got the attention of a guy across the aisle. He came up behind him and pushed him acting tough, which caused him to stumble because he didn't expect it. The lady started screaming that he was drunk and the other guy took a swing at him. He said that before he knew it there was a group of guys around him. He said it was like a cartoon where everyone is swinging and he ducked down and crawled out between their legs. They were close to the rear entrance of the theater where the CMs are stationed so they saw everything. They took his family out to get information from him and when they were through a CM found them all seats togehter near the front. Yes, they were upset about not being able to save a seat near the back of the theater. OY! The family was told to remain after the show and had a private audience with all of the characters in the show that night so that the kids knew everything was okay. He chose not to press charges against anyone but it amazed us that it had happened.

Wow.

The Orlando Sentinel had an article about vacations and equated us DISers as being members of a Disney cult. The author of the article got that from reading some of the DIS entries.

Good thing he did not come to this thread. We would have been given a much more severe label!

Why of course we are!

I'm in total shock here... I always go to the AC at WDW. I take all my friends there and even made new friends there I keep running into at WDW. I even took my nieces and nephews there for the first show in April. I'm glad I did because if they don't reopen it somewhere else, it'll probably be my last time.






No cheers today,

Jennifer

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Adventurer's club is one of my absolute favorite places! And I don't see how I'll have a chance to get there before it closes. What on earth are they going to put there instead? More hotels?????

Just got back from our mall and the Disney Store was still there going strong.

Stacey you may not have the latest version of Google Earth. If you hit Ctrl + Alt + A all at the same time there is a easter egg flight simulator embedded in Google earth. You have a choice of a F-16 or a prop plan. Not exactly MS Flight Simulator but fun.

Thanks Roger! I found it. Wasn't sure if I was supposed to control it or not and ended up watching it crash the first time. I did find a cool hidden mickey in a field just south of WDW.

Cult? Cult? Just because the glasses that we drink our cool-aid from have Mickey Mouse ears attached does NOT make it a cult! Shame on him.

It's always a shame that rain can't be more evenly distributed. Floods in the Midwest and drought in Oklahoma. We haven't had rain in a long time -- way too dry. Saw on the news that our year-to-date precipitation is about 1/3 of average (about 3 inches so far this year).

We found on our Med cruise the perfect time was 4.45pm on Rome day, we got back early, sinner was later at 6.30pm and we did it without problem.

Someone should let Father Mike know....

 

[tom31b]

Tell me exactly how to do this. If I just go to Google Earth and do that, nothing happens.

First DIS, now Google Earth... what's gonna break next?

Hi everyone.....just thought I would drop by! We are half way through swim season, dd9 placed 5th in her butterfly this week, she just keeps getting faster and faster.

DS12 just got his black belt in karate today. They really worked hard in their test, it took about 5 hours. DH is now a second degree black belt.

Tomorrow I turn 41 Monday I have to drive to fredericksburg to visit a friend and our next swim meet is wednesday night. Early thursday morning we will leave for Ohio for a visit with my parents for a couple of days. Its a long trip for a couple of days but DH can't take much time off becasue of the TOAL (small sacrifice). We will be home Sunday night and then NOTHING but a swim meet (away) that week - I can't wait for some downtime!

I got our fish extender almost finished and I am very pleased with how it turned out. I got the unofficial guide to Disneyland so I am reading that right now - trying to learn how to maximize the time we are there. We have decided not to do any special dining, just eat when we feel like it. Kids are not really interested in character dining anymore

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

I was at ours 2 weeks ago and bought quite a bit of stuff.....

We didn't know it was them until we say his DW and DD on deck later that night. He had a Jersey accent and hearing him telling the story the next night was funny. Apparently the "lady" told him that she was saving the seat and when he said that he was going to sit there she made a rude comment, which got the attention of a guy across the aisle.

What is wrong with people???

So I see that the DIS is still broke...I think the best part was when I signed on and it told me that I last visited at 8:14 today when I haven't been on since yesterday afternoon.

DH and I went to Rhode Island to see an air show - beautiful day for it, sunny and breezy. Unfortunately even with all the sunscreen (SPF50) that I put on and reapplied several times I still look like a lobster - going to have to try and find that SPF 1,000,000 for the TOAL.
