Is anyone still going on the DCL Acapulco City Tour with Cliff Divers? :confused3 DH doesn't like to do anything that isn't DCL organized. He says this is probably the only time we will be in these places and he wants to make sure we see what we want to see. It is just the two of us so the cost isn't too bad. I was hoping there will be some other DISers coming along.

Yep - that is the one I am doing.
 
I checked with DCL this morning and not everyone will be seeing the refund of port fees, just ones who were charged more to begin with for taxes. It seems if you were paid in full by early May, it is likely you paid the lower amount and won't see a refund.

I know everyone is going to be majorly jealous but... The Jonas Brothers are moving to Dallas! :rotfl2: Apparantly one of the brothers was born here so they are "coming home".
I feel sure I will not run into them at the grocery store.

Do we have a Jonas Brothers fan in the house? I may have something for them! It's a poster we got at school,advertising Breakfast Breaks....

Everyone, ready for the next round of excitement!

:yay: :cheer2: Someone (WendyK) just posted on the mainboards that they've received their docs.:cool1: :yay:
 

UGH! I am upset because now DD is disappointed with our plans in Cabo. I finally got through to the horse stable and they told me that there is no way that we can get there for the 10 am tour if the ship is not scheduled to be in Cabo until 9:30. :( DD found out that we were planning to take her since she has been doing so well with her lessons this year and now we can't go. :( The only stable that I have found that will let kids under 10 ride is The Gold Mine Ranch in Aruba. Has anyone found any info about this place? It looks good online but I would like to make sure that the horses are well cared for and healthy. I am going to start reading through Cruise Critic to see if I can find something there. TIA!

Not sure what company you were looking at but here is one that has a one hour ride and leaves hourly 8 times a day

How about in PV if you don't have plans there yet

Dining Question:

How do some people know where abouts they are sitting is relationship to other people? Is there a way to find out who we're sitting with before we board? If not - it'll just be a surprise.

I believe if you're not "linked" with anybody specific,it's just the luck of the draw. :confused3
 
The pirate Red Beard was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter who was looking for juicy stories of excitement and derring-do. He told Red, "I'm sure my readers would love to hear the tale behind your peg-leg."

"Well, I was thrown from the ship during gale force winds, and before me mate could throw me a line, a shark bit me leg clean off!"

The interviewer was sort of disappointed. "What about the hook at the end of your right arm?"

"I lost it in a sword fight with the Captain of the Guard!"

Again the reporter was disappointed. "Certainly there's an exciting story about the patch on your eye?"

"One day, I was out on deck, and a bird flew over and pooped in me eye!"

The reporter was amazed. "That's why you wear a patch?"

"Well, I'd only had me hook a couple of days!"
 
decided it must be because its my 13th cruise. :rotfl2:

Sure can do! Your not allergice to silver are you? :thumbsup2

Laura I told you that it was all cause of this being your 13th cruise!! :lmao: And NO I am not allergic to any kind of candy!! hint hint ;) :love:

BTW, this was not my fault but DisneySweetie said it can be because all I had to do was look. :rotfl2:

So DH and I go to have breakfast, Parrot Cay closed so we head off to Pluto's playhouse. As we are eating, I look to my left and see a double parasailing couple going "down to get their feet wet." EXCEPT......they don't get their feet wet, they go completely under as well as the parachute. So I think - ok they will pull them out. No Go! Seems the engine died on the boat. So next I'm watching them trying to pull the couple out of the water, which is not the smoothiest mind you - the Magic is rolling just a bit in the water here. So next I see another small boat come. Everyone on the boat had to transfer after they ungraciously managed to pull the couple in the water onto the 2nd boat. They were in the water for about 10 minutes before the boat came. I'm just glad I wasn't on that excursion. I'm hoping its local toursits from hotels and not from a DCL excursion. Else, they may be wanting their $$ back. Oh and the original boat was being pulled via a rope! :scared1: NOW - are you sure you all want to go parasailing here in Cabo?

As for me looking - that I had nothing to do with! (Even if I did look down in time to see it all go down! :lmao: ) Poor couple, they got more then they bargained for.

Later all :wave2:

Glad you were not looking when I parasailed in Castaway Cay!! 2 Peas in a Pod!!! :hug:

Have fun!!
 
I have a question....Kevin works with this Know-it-all,Disney Expert. They've been talking about the trip for the last few weeks and Kev mentioned that we were going to try and set up a Photo Shoot in front of pirate: Ship in our costumes. Well the "expert" says "Oh,you can't do that! It's on Disney property and corporate wouldn't allow non employees in costumes on their property. They wouldn't want anyone to confuse them with Disney Characters. " And he mentioned something, about some actress, that tried to wear her Peter Pan costume into one of the parks and there being some kind of brew-ha-ha about it. I just want to get that picture taken to rub in his smug little face!
 
Our daughter also has a birthday (turning 9). I am planning to decorate the door differently while she sleeps, and have some birthday decorations for the room that I am going to try to get in there without her seeing. Also plan to surprise the kids with the dolphin encounter that I reserved yesterday.

I think given the number of BDays we are hearing about on here...there will be lots of singing pirate: s

I didn't realize the card could be signed, so I will have to pick-up something soon for that.

Keep the ideas coming...I would love some more surprises.

I had posted a birthday question on the pirate boards a while ago for birthday ideas. I think if everybody posts their ideas there it will be easier to find and follow.

Let us know what you find in Aruba. That could be fun and we don't have any set plans in Aruba.
 
Happy Birthday Stephanie.. Does this make you a CANCER or a LEO..??? I just had mine last Friday and I havnt had to write my age yet. Two years ago after my birthday I started to say my age was a whole decade younger when asked.. it just came out that way,:confused3

Wahoo.. the gas in a local station just went down to $3.99 a gal... most are $4.19..
What is the cost o gas in LA or near Disnelyland??

Were going to MAMMA MIA tonight.. has anyone gone to see it yet? Does anyone know what movies will be playing onthe ship?? Some new ones come out on Aug 1 too... Thanks for any input...

Then I wonder why they let every little girl in the gates, dressed in full princess attire. I think unless you are trying to take away from a charactor or charge to have guests pictures taken, there is no problem. We can have 250 pirate's autograph a special copy of the photo for Kevin's buddy!!

happy belated bday!

I filled up today and gas had gone down a bit over the last week or so....its a bargain at $4.24!

I can't wait to see Mamma Mia...let us know how you like it.

I know that Disneyland will not allow adults in costume (I once had a sock hop costume on and they made me remove the scarf and the crinolin (sp?) and then I could go in (had to put it in the backpack) They said the rule was no costumes for adults in the parks but I can't see what CC would not allow it..especially because they have encouraged people to bring pirate costumes!
 
No explanation at all. Even at first at the CC reception, when somene asked what the reason was for the stop, we got? What trouble? I guess when it happened again, at 1 pm, they had to come up with something. That's why Cpt Tom wasn't "smiling" in the pictures. I just hope they fix it - its either that or he's worried about the hurricane. BTW, they postphoned the Golden Mickeys from last night to tonight. I guess the amount of power it would take to operate the show would have drained the engines even more so instead we got Michael Harrision - a day early but he was good. Another BTW, he's going to be n America's Got Talent. Yeah! He's updated a little f his routine. Its funny - more adult humor too. I even had to laugh - and this was at the family show. :teeth:

They have just announce open tendering so we are going to go off - its hot, humid and hot.

BTW, this was not my fault but DisneySweetie said it can be because all I had to do was look. :rotfl2:

Oh yeah - according to guest services - zip lining in Cabo has been completely cancelled. WHy? not sure but she made it seem like the company was gone. Has this been discussed before and I'm just a day late and a dollar short again?


Oh yeah, Visions of the Sea managed to pull right next to us. I've never seen a ship pull this close to us in the ocean. I can practically see into the cabins windows. Even our stateroom host was surprised. They blocked our lovely view of Lover's beach for about 1/2 hour. Now they moved up a little bit. Hmm.......has DCL fallen out of favor??????? :rotfl2:

Stateroom host wanted to know how they ranked the better spot - so see, its not just me - its the 13th curse, ok - I'm feeling a bit better so off I go to see what I can do to cheer myself up. Maybe a trinket or two or three, its hot, humid and beautiful sunny - so I'm getting my hat on - someone point me to the nearest Sam's Club! :rotfl:

As for me looking - that I had nothing to do with! (Even if I did look down in time to see it all go down! :lmao: ) Poor couple, they got more then they bargained for.

Later all :wave2:

I am glad I am cruising with you on your 14th cruise:lmao: :lmao: I am also glad I never had any intention to Parasail just because I would land in the water!!;)

Remember Cabo is where I was almost drowned and beaten to a bloody pulp. And my glasses are still there somewhere. Not planning ANY excursions for Cabo.;)

I am.....Cabo Wabo!!!!:dance3:

Great deal Debi!

I cancelled our Acapulco excursion. I have heard from so many people here at home that Acapulco has really gone down hill. So we may be joining those going to the fort or just play it by ear. Have heard good things about Cartagena! Met a lady over the weekend whose dh flew there Saturday.

Cruise Questions!
Is anyone bringing 2-radios with them? Wondering how the reception would be with all the metal. Also is anyone bringing extra hangers? I have a bunch of plastic and also cleaner hangers. I seem to remember that there aren't many hangers in the closet.:confused3

Might end up being a great excursion now that a few have cancelled!!:flower3:

Hey Cheryl I just pm'd you...


Check you messages!


Chrissie

Sorry I did. :thumbsup2 I was relaxing and pulling weeds from my flower beds.:flower3:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHANIE
