8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #11

[psm729]

You'll get all kinds of opinions on this.

For us, it is worth it once every few years. I love not having to wait so long for a spot, love having a chair to sit in, and the treats are really good. But we haven't done it since they switched the riverside seating to a boxed treat. It used to be a buffet and so we really felt we were close to getting our money's worth. Also, there's only 2 of us so it wasn't so bad. I can see it being tough for larger families.

Many people like the balcony seating better, but the balcony is no longer available because of the Dream Suite. We've done balcony once and that was enough. We much prefer the riverside. We feel like we are experiencing the show at riverside, while we were just watching the show from the balcony.

Thx Monica! gives me something to think about... but not too long
Hope everything goes better in your job search...

Just wondering if anyone got a connecting stateroom on deck 2 that doesn't need one? We got 2 rooms side by side but we have three young children so we were hoping for connecting, They tell us we are waitlisted for connecting.

It's time to celebrate cabin assignments. Can this work by Jean Fouquet inspire the creative captioners among us beyond yesterday's hilarious results?

Oh carp! That dude's wearing MY gold gown!​

It was Cruisin'mike who ate all the lobsters. He has first dining and I have late. Donatioins of unwanted lobster tales accepted unless it is just the shell.

Laugh now, but wait until the lobster is all gone.

My DD has the Magic horn on her Ipod. We all listen when we need a fix.

That's one of my cell phone rings
.

Got you covered>>>>Let us blame Mike!!!

Ouch!

Thanks! OK blaming Mike works for me!

Ouch again!

Oh yeah . . . blame Mike, blame Mike, someone's always blaming Mike.

Hey, wait a minute. It's not -this- Mike you're blaming, is it?

Nevermind . . . go ahead . . . blame Mike!

Et tu, father Mike?

Also , can anyone tell me where to find all the Disney Pirate Clipart , like of the Fab five and so forth ????? Cruisn Mike ???? I know you have had some good stuff ...... I feel like panic mode has hit ...

Sorrry no clip art. Linda just scanned in a litho that we had hanging on our wall.

It's nice to be able to pass the blame.

Maybe I need this as a door sign.

All the posts of the magic's horn today...

Show of hands, who's gonna get a little verklempted when they blow the horn?
How about when you board?

From our previous cruises...


"My kid is ALMOST potty-trained, Isn't that good enough?":

Well I am going away from a place that I am not appreciated...(appreciated by kids but not necessarily the ones that should show it)A big stress relief...

I am getting more hours at another job (with kids),have a PT job at Bed and Bath and I will be able to focus on my PERSONAL artwork...It's a good thing and knowing of this change I can fully enjoy our TOAL w/o the dread of going back to that place....

Good for you Chrissie! You need to look out for yourself. It sounds like you'll have a good balance of things you love doing!

Peeking at the DL board tonight I found this thread on the protesting. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1889267 It doesn't sound too nice being woken up by banging pots and pans at 6 am.

Last time we stayed at the DLH this was going on. Noisy in the early AM but once the sun got up, they went away. We're early risers so it didn't bother us, but if you are a party hearty type and sleep in......

It lasted about 3 days then stopped.

[PBader]

Attended the funeral for my friend today. I was blown away when I drove up to the church and the only available parking was 2 blocks away. Then got inside and it was like a high school reunion. Many people traveled quite a distance to be there.

There was a picnic afterwards that I didn't go to, in the hopes that I would get a call from the potential employer. Since I never got a confirmation call yesterday, and there as some talk of it being at 4:30 today, I stayed home just in case they called. Well, they didn't, so no interview and no life celebration with old friends.

Monica, you did have a tough one

 

[darthrugby]

Cherie has finished Mr. Cotton's outfit Just need to do some distressing and add some dirt.

Roger!

Way cool costume. I like the detail and colors and vest.

Remember your not allowed to speak while in costume.

 

[Stepht5]

I worked so hard making ours, I think I'd have a tough time "messing" them up!

I bet!I'm having a hard time deciding which skirt to use -- and if I want to distress the skirt. I have 3 different color skirts -- red,navy & green-- that can be used for other costume outfits.

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

I am sorry..but we did not get enough lanyard orders to order an additional set. And I am afraid to wait any longer for fear they won't come in time. I am sending PM's as well to those that ordered.

 

[paulasillars]

Has anyone filled out the online check in forms yet?
When I try to fill mine out it cuts everything I write in half so you can't see the top of the letters / numbers.

In the past I haven't had that problem so I am not sure if it is the form or my computer

Does anyone have any insight on this?
TIA

I've done most of ours and not had any problems, you could try another browser. I have both IE and Firefox and tend to find IE is better with the DCL sites - I used to have trouble with Firefox getting logged on so always use IE now for DCL.

 

[paulasillars]

My tone for my DH is True Love's Kiss from Enchanted...and my normal one is Happy Working Song from Enchanted.

I have the Polynesian section from It's a Small World

Pirate Roll Call/ FE Exchange Map and Directory


I'm compiling the list for the Pirate Roll Call and FE Exchange map/list.

I'm only listing the pirate families who posted on the roll call thread on the Pirate Zone, or gave their info to Julie (bellelinus) to be listed as part of the FE Exchange.

If you haven't signed up yet and would like to, please head over to this thread on the Pirate Zone to sign up for the roster. Also, if you got your cabin assignment but I still have you listed as GTY, can you please post your cabin number over there too.

If you signed up with Julie for the FE exchange, I'll be combining that info when she posts her final list.

Here is the list of everybody who signed up over on the Pirate Zone. Please check it out and make sure it's accurate. I apologize for any mistakes. If I need to make any changes, please send me a PM and I'll fix it.

I keep reading about this and meaning to comment.
Are some people just walking to some fort and not watching the divers? Or is this referring to going to see the divers on their own? What fort? I'm confused.

The Fort is just across from where we dock apparently - info is here http://www.acapulco.com/en/tours/fuerte/

We aren't going to see the divers - it doesn't interest us but the Fort does.

 

[lbgraves]

For those familiar with DL I am wondering how far the areas for the fireworks and fantasmic are from each other. The fireworks are listed as 9:25 and Fantasmic is 10 so I am hoping that will give us enough time to see both. TIA!

All the posts of the magic's horn today...

Show of hands, who's gonna get a little verklempted when they blow the horn?
How about when you board?

Me!!!

Hmmm, so maybe I should bring my christmas present from the kids- the mickey hoody?
you know... JUST in case. Although I'm beginning to think maybe I'm just like whales- you know... blubber that keeps them warm? LOL

You will always see me with a jacket on while I am inside the ship!! I freeze and can't wait to get outside and get the sun.

Laura says hi! We had a nice lunch....

Hi Laura Have a great trip.

I'm still in denial

sorry

BIP...to answer your question about the fort, it is Fort Diego and is a five minute walk from the port. We are not going to see the divers. We were on the fence about doing that but the reviews from friends who did the WB Repo made us decide not to bother.

I lost a quote and am not going back to find it but Atrium would be a good place to meet at 8:45 am. Most of the DCL excursions will be gone already. We can take a leisurely walk to the fort.

Hi everyone

I tendered my resignation today...I have mixed emotions...I will miss the kids and feel awful I could not say good bye...but it was time...


Chrissie

Chrissie it is definitely the school's loss!! I bet something much better will come your way.

Name Tag

So I have had to adjust the design slightly for the name tag....

If I put the DCL wave/mickey silhouette on the tag is that ok (with all of you and legally?)?

Chrissie

Do you think Disney will mind free advertising. Do whatever you like!!

Congrats......you were just lucky I was on the phone........oh wait.......I am always on the phone.

Your going to make me play again aren't you. Congrats!

You have to get permission first!!

Missed it! I am on the phone with Cheryl and didn't pay attention that we were that close to a

Remember you called me!!!!

HEE HEE I forgot to mention! I came up with DH's personal theme for this cruise.

Back through the Canal - More Rum, Less Coke

Last time he want through the canal he was prize crew of a fishing vessel they busted with 2.5 tons of cocaine onboard - but no rum!

This time, presumably no coke, but lots of rum!

Is it August yet?

I really need a vacation after today. First off, I had to come into work early to pull a 12 hour shift. Before that I had to take my cat to the vet and my car completely died half way there. Then once I got there I had to put my cat down. And then on top of it, I wasn't able to go to Disneyland today. For you that don't know, today is Disneyland's Birthday.

This is the first time in 9 years that I haven't been there to celebrate its birthday there.

Sorry Mike!!

Ah... when I googled bubba jug, came up with a lot of "crash" type websites.....

I once googled up sugar syrup (for an icee maker) and the images are still in my head from years ago.

Purchased. Not nearly as cool as some of the ones I see here, but it will be fine.

I was actually surprised on the Med cruise, given all the fuss about pirate night, how few people actually did dress up. I figure it should be more this time at dinner (because so many DISers are together), but even so, I expect when wandering around the ship, anyone where a costume will still be in the minority.

So, kudos to those dedicated enough to make, buy or steal a truly authentic looking pirate costume. And hurrah for those of us who have the nerve to walk around in a cheap vinyl one from an online costume store! And thank God for the vast numbers of other swabbies who aren't wearing costumes who will think we are cool for dressing up regardless of which one we choose

We are the cheap vinyl kind .........well almost!!

Peeking at the DL board tonight I found this thread on the protesting. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1889267 It doesn't sound too nice being woken up by banging pots and pans at 6 am.

Does not sound very Disney like!! I hope the strike is over soon.

Roger!

Way cool costume. I like the detail and colors and vest.

Remember your not allowed to speak while in costume.

I could never not speak!! Just ask anyone!!!

Lisa, it is only about a 5 min walk from Fantasmic to the castle but crowds start gathering for the fireworks 1-2 hours ahead of time. So by the time Fantasmic is over it is impossible to get a good spot for the fireworks.
