I think the cat is out of the bag now!

Yes, but that didn't stop DCL from forcing the port to remove the information from the Med listings prior to the official announcement. I thought that it was quite funny and only confirmed that it was true. LOL!

It was great meeting everyone, even if it was only once! I was glad that the vast majority of cruisers were polite. I did have a weird incident happen at Midway Airport in Chicago. I saw an older couple at the gate while waiting for the plane. The man had on a Mickey Tiki shirt and I asked if they were going on a Disney Cruise. They said they were and I asked if they DIS'ed. the wife said, "No (long pause) we don't do that." Their whole demeaner changed after that. I saw them at DLH alot but never saw them on the cruise.

What on earth did she think you were talking about?

And Destin: eat your vegetables -- then you can have a Sundae!

ROFLMAO!!! You mean he didn't get away with the sticking his cauliflower on the white tablecloth or his brocolli in the mashed potatoes on the 5 day like he did the 15? Todd & Melissa must not have let him sit at the other end of the table anymore. He did get DD to start ordering off of the adult menu though because she liked how his food looked and she liked it!!!

That is Taylor! Thank you for saying how sweet she is! I was so glad she hooked up with Ruby & had someone to hang with in the Stack. I know she had a blast with her & she hopes to keep in touch. You are very welcome for the use of the dress. I'm glad it worked out!

She is a doll! I had no idea she was your daughter but I liked her and I was glad Ruby was hanging out with her too and in fact wish Ruby had hung out with her MORE.

Okay this is going to sound weird but I want to find out who the other girl belongs to! I'm pretty sure her family was a DIS family.... but it's embarrassing because Ruby can't remember her name! To be fair though- Ruby is just HORRIBLE with names or actually ever even learning people's names in the first place (ie: never asks people their name in the first place. for instance she's had friends in school that she's ate lunch with every day, hang out waiting outside after school with them everyday waiting for me to pick her up, considers them "friends" and then yet when I ask her what the person's name is- she's always oh I don't know, I never asked. LOL Ruby is weird that way.. names don't matter to her I guess -for some weird reason)

ANYWAY.... trying to figure out who the other girl was. Maybe you can ask Taylor, if you don't mind? I saw this girl all the time on the cruise so I really think she was a DIS'ers daughter. She was kinda tall but that's relative since I'm so short. LOL But Taylor might remember because on the last night it was Taylor and "the other girl" that came to get Ruby and were asking if she could come to the stack with them. At first I said I'd TAKE Ruby up there for a short time (she was grounded, and couldn't trust her to actually go to the stack on her own apparently) but the girls waited for awhile, the "other girl" eventually left... Taylor waited a little longer and they kinda hung out right there in the hall waiting for me (I was trying to get everything packed to get bags out in the hall on time) and finally I said okay Ruby can just go. And off she and Taylor went. Well, I'm trying to figure out who that other girl was...... I think Ruby hung out with her too and I know I saw her a lot on the cruise but I don't know her name or if her family is a DIS family... so maybe Taylor knows who I'm talking about?

Oh and Ruby is begging me to buy her a dress like that for a dance at school. She loved the dress. LOL Again, thanks to your sweet daughter for sharing it with her (and to you for letting her). So incredibly nice of you both!

We saw a place that was selling chickens that day too Sil. It was on the divided street we had to cross on the emaciated horses. You know, the excursion that caused the ship to be late leaving port!! I took a picture but not sure if it turned out or not yet.

Emaciated horses?

Sorry that your horses were not well. The one I rode in Aruba had me afraid to kick at all to get her going but the ones DD & DH rode were plump and spirited.

OK back from dinner and have to share something with you all, I was laughing so hard in the store that I almost had an accident. Hope you all enjoy and notice how appropriate the last one is for this group.

INTERNATIONAL RULES OF MANHOOD

Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.

On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pits stops, not the weakest.

Any man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed and eaten by his buddies.

Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.

Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both, that's just greedy.

Thou shall not buy a car in the colors of brown, pink, LIME GREEN , orange or sky blue.

If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you'd better be talking about his choice of beer.

If a man's fly is down, that's his problem, you didn't see anything.

Moaning about the brand of free beer in a buddy's fridge is forbidden. However, complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable.




and drumroll please.................


Friends don't let friends wear speedos. EVER! Issue closed.

We didn't participate in the FE exchange, but I do know that the rubber chickens came from Maine Jennifer.

I am also hoping everything is okay with her mom.

Krista

It was so nice meeting you by chance on CC! I enjoyed chatting with you!



Well...we are almost home....we are in Blythe CA which is a city on the CA/AZ border..only about 4 more hours until home. I can't wait...road trip has been nice but ready to get home.

I have 2 meetings tomorrow..one at 3pm and one at 7pm so we have to start out pretty quick in the AM to get home in time to unload and return the rental car....one nice thing about the rental car..it only had 3K miles on it so it still had the new car smell! It has been pretty good...last nite stayed in Hollbrook Az in a Wig Wam....built in the 50s on Route 66..I love doing silly things like that.

Will post tomorrow when I make it home.

Hi Laura!


How long are you at the Boardwalk?

 

[eeyorelvr10]

Hi Laura!


How long are you at the Boardwalk?

Hi Des - we leave in the afternoon 6:50 FL time and arrive around 9:30 I think. Steve just mentioned today - I wanted to stay another few days and go to the parks Why oh why does he do that me?

Honestly, my kids are NOT perfect. DD bit DS at the end of dinner leaving a bruise that lasted a day and I took her to the room where she was not to have any fun and go to bed after I swatted her behind right there in the dining room twice. When we got to the room my plans were messed up because our host had not been there yet and the bunk bed was not down from the ceiling so we had to be out of the room for a little bit. I went to the theater where DH was waiting for us to let him know what had happened [while DD waited at the door next to a CM because she told me that she didn't deserve to have any fun that night and needed to help our host clean the room] and he wanted to talk to her. She appologized to DS and DH and was truly upset so he told her to sit and watch Wall-E. She doesn't like going to theaters because they are too loud to her so this isn't something she really wanted to do. Just letting you know that I do NOT think my kids are little angels by any means.

Anyhow...I did have to stop and thank my kids for behaving more than once because of the behavior of others we had to put up with. At the Beauty and the Beast vocalist performance there were kids behind us with pretzle bags, kids in front of us fighting and teens next to us talking constantly [at least they got up and left finally]. I remember our first cruise and how DS5 at the time kept asking where the characters were when we were watching Hercules. That wasn't a show that was going to have any characters and if my kids didn't know how to sit quietly through a performance they would have been in the lab. Even DS9.5 sat and listened to the different songs and clapped. He said that he really enjoyed it and hearing about their stories. I really felt sorry for the performers because IMO allowing your kids to act up and distract others in the audience has to be distracting for them and is rude to everyone.

We also had a problem at the Broadway show. A family in front of us kept holding up some big inflatable blocking our view and kept videotaping. I guess they were first timers. If the child was supervised you would never have known. Noone ever asked the child to behave. I guess the parent was too busy taking pictures. But I guess on a Disney cruise you have to expect that there will be children on board and at shows. We never said anything to the child or the family. Why would we want to embarass the child.

It is probably covered somewhere in the INTERNATIONAL RULES OF MANHOOD.

 

[lbgraves]

OMG!!! I had to think quickly...did we take Bobby to that show? The couple he did go to he spent on the floor under the seats after it started.

Emaciated horses?

....and tick ridden! We took pictures.

Just found out from the human girls that the furr kids have been in storage for the entire 3 weeks momma's been gone. I know my kids were jealous but cruel? I didn't know they could be so jealous of the four legged creatures. Someone's going to pay for that one.

 

[lbgraves]

LOL! Yes he was. This was his first cruise not running around the ship naked. We had to get pics with some of his buddies onboard. AChip & Dale remembered him and had a ball one night in the atrium tossing him around and rolling on the floor with him. None of those pictures made it to the walls at Shutters.
