Hi All,

We're joining this motely crew for another trip through the Canal.

We don't post much due to busy schedules (work can really interfere with Disney trip planning and execution). Besides, we'd never be able to keep with all you and all these posts! :rotfl: :rotfl:

We're currently a GTW cat 5 although that may change as we're also doing the 5 night Castaway Cay Double Dip right after the PC trip and have a cat 6 for that one. Need as many nights on the ship as possible. :rotfl2:

It will be myself, Bob, and Dale (DW) and our traveling companion Gordy "The World Traveler".

Thanks, Bob (aka Dread Pirate Barnacle Bob) pirate:

Welcome Aboard:goodvibes
 
My kids would love to ride with you:lmao: :lmao:

I'm just worried about a very bumpy ride after lunch may not be the best:sick: I should be fine with bonine, right;) I'll make sure I take some that day:thumbsup2

The banana boats are alot of fun! Very bumpy, but fun:goodvibes
 
Are there any hills on CC ? If it is mostly flat, I think we'll be ok.

Yes, my last 2 visits to CC I rarely ventured from the beach:rolleyes:

Oh we LOVE biking on CC. No, Mrs. Scrooby, there aren't hills . . . LOL It's pretty much like riding along the beach. It is BEAUTIFUL! On our trip in Jan 2007 that had added a look out tower on the same side of the island as the adult beach. We did about 4 miles in less than an hour. The bikes don't have gears so it is a good thing there are no hill!! The seats were fairly comfortable (for a bike seat!)

We're looking forward to it again at the end of the TOAL :)

Last year United had changed my departure from MCO from 2pm. to 9am. We were just docking at the port. That is why United always owes me vouchers.:rolleyes:

Are you still planning on coming to Schuamburg this spring????:confused:



Our big adventure before next August might be the Jelly Belly factory in Wisconsin.:sad2: :sad2:

I like Jelly Beans! :yay:

Glad you could join us!!!
 
Aren't banana boats hard to stay on board?

Yes, you hold on tight. The last time Adam rode one, he fell off 2 times and the guy pulling it dumped them all twice. I don't think when we rode at CC that anyone fell off though and I know they didn't intentionally dump the banana. It is bumpiest at the back--I would avoid that seat.

Hi Bob,
I was on the May transatlantic with you, but I don't think that we ever got to meet...too much fun onboard I guess! I remember on that thread that you were the only one going on the EASTbound PC cruise along with me...all the others were going on the west one in May. It is good to see another west med repo cruiser!

Welcome Bob and Dale and Gordy! ;)
 
Updated the first post with some contact info, etc. I need to confirm who is still doing the leadership role on the activities and will need some volunteers on those requiring leaders. More to follow.


I must admit, I haven't read all the activities in a while. I'm glad I did as this reminded me that I need to pack PJ's that would be acceptable to be worn oustide of my cabin.
 
* if it's any constellations, just m.~ i think you'll make the prefect
"addition" ..to the red carpet treatments @ castaway! :thumbsup2


..[ fyi, my grandmother name was stella..] ,



ok..miss purple princess: !..where did you get a statue of our cpt. ?
in your bedroom :eek: too...actually, most of us..are moor interested..in
statu~esque ..wenches type! pirate:


..slowly...in between our mess-up house, we are doing some cruise
"thingys." oh, when ..i come to think of it...seldom if ever, our house
is tidy neat...i never said..my lil' cutie...was prefect..in every way,
jus..the good ones..;)

* :yay: ..new suitcases...since i've never done any planning/or scheduling
..i don't think it would be wise..to overstep my lil'miss flamer~:furious: ,

...nope, mommy didn't raised no fool! :wizard:

however, there are certain factors..effecting us..no :laundy: , being one.
and our boys..being a foot taller & 75lbs. bigger = reduced our "packing
choices". we will not being doing fancy dress-ups. nice, is our objective.
plus..iam suspecting..it will be a lil' hot + humid. [ i don't like sticky clothes].
of course..wearing nakey rugby tops..may cure alot of that...& rumor is:
they're easy to pack! [ is anyone wearing them for their travel clothes? ]

i think we'll be staying @ the disney hotel, and spending one day @
disneyland. and since our "kids" covered alot ground--[ like 20 years] ,
most likely, there will be times..we'll be splitting up. [ on our last 2
cruises ..we are not sure..what our boys were actual doing. ]

* the good thing @ universal...was having the msu band with :cheer2: s,
we..knew exaclty..where to find our boys...


dear mismce..did you ...:sail: ..the penney sale?...i heard..the nakey
shirts ..& jerseys...were really "cheap?"



:scared: ..were you near..the school?...:flower3: . * i kno...i 've..to be
careful..not to lecture..but its hard not too..when its so ...preventative,
...& the abc's of mental health..are ignored. ( gads zooks~ while i certainly
have no inside info...its alarming....hearing..the obvious being missed...
* if...he just recently...went off his meds...why do they blame that..,
when he brought the guns..last fall..:confused3 ) * becos..all behaviors
have meaning/s, there are valuable clues..to learn from. recognizing
repeated warnings..., but we should be using reality orientation and
not labeling...so recognizing "losses" of self control, before deciding on
a corrective action/s...can/ will increase our odds of prevention...
thru recovery. reality is: any person can become mentally unstable.
[ i think one of the best thing out of the predator shows..is alerting the
general population..that stero typing ...can be used as a cover for
those with harmful intents.]

one example.., for what ever reason/s....@ epcot . i saw a mid 4o's/well
dressed man..."angling " toward my wife. sure it was a mistake, nonetheless,
i keep watching...when he got...within 30yds...i cut infront of my wife,
to shield...surely, he would adjust..but no! he slammed into me...however,
he didn't estimated..we were heading down hill ..and was already
preparing...knocked him cleared around, but by the time i confronted him,
he was running off. he meant to run over..us! why? dunno. except i saw
the behaviors //warnings// & prevented..the assault. one might be
surprised..how useful..our pysch..techniques...are..in the community level.



*i jus believe....if we :teacher: ...more , safety being everybody responsibility
..would be one our best....prevention measure..we can take.

oh, pbager ....when we did the banna boat......there were alot smart alecs
on the "other"..side...our driver..made sure..they're dunked! :laughing:

and just m., ..one god thing...about our kids..growing big ...fast...jordan,
been riding the fast rides..since she was 6 y/o! she is 10..& right behind..
me now..., :sad1: . fyi, i was never sold..on disney..or dcl. i jus saw it
as one our parental duties....thru, the heat & crowds. back in the red
boat..days..i sorta told my lil'sweetie...if disney ever...[ using that as a
delay /avoding technique..never expecting. :laughing: ] then as soon as

the "wonder"...she got us on , with her whole family..,:scared: . :rolleyes1

* glad..she dosen't look here...he, he ha! then one day, after our 2002
wdw/dcl trip...i was babysitting jordan [4] ...and she had "made~up her
own..ariel's costume...& was singing..part of your world..song.."every
word"..with all the hand motions..down pat! here's me..havin trouble
remembering feeding the dogs, :laughing: . that's what changed my
attitude...oh, & the very special "belle"..on the wonder. pixiedust:

how bad...was me?...she had to remind me..who she was....on the
final night..when she was dressed all in yellow..pssst, i told u
don't see that well :rolleyes2

...gotta say..the 11-nighter...was an outstanding cruise...oh, i went
back...& reviewed the pics..it wasn't susan beside us..but her pianist
& she was on the other side..of him. for my wife's sakes..i tried to
used my napkin~:dance3:

i do think...susan..is not only a disney legend..but a great role model
for our daughter..and adults.

..one more thing, we stayed after the meeting & met one of disney's
top brass..guy...& after talking, he sorta hug me..out of the blue...
without thinking, i told him....he got me mixed up..with that "crash
dude" ~ pirate: see? ..he is guilty!

[ the message ,we 're always preaching to our kids...how high can you
go...without drugs...or etoh? impress us, & we will reward you! that's
why we take our children to wdw. ]
 
Mark...I hope Laura gets better soon! We've all been fighting it off here. DS seems to have it the worst, but still it isn't really bad.




I wonder where they took that picture for the Castaway Cay day?
And I wonder if the fellow dressed sort of like a Captain is the skipper of the yacht that takes the family to Castaway Cay.
And I wonder (I am SO full of questions) where they get on the yacht that takes them there? The only thing I can think is that they get on it in Nassau.
:confused3 :confused3




I wonder what they would say if I was selected and they asked how many were in my party? Umm.....about 500......:rotfl:
 
We did see the dream team at WDW but they never came near us. We did see a few of the dream fastpasses but that was it.


If you ever see them with their vests on, run them down. The vests mean they are giving out dreams. If it's multiple items, like fastpasses or ears, they'll stay in that spot until they are all given out. Just run up and stick your hand out. That's how we got ears at DL last summer. Almost got fastpasses in Nov but they handed out the last one to the lady in front of us.

Also got a bit of advice on our last trip from a Dream CM. Take a look at their messenger bag. If it looks really full, then they probably have a vest in there and will be giving out a dream at some point. Not all Dream CM's give dreams every day. Some just wander the parks and chat and may have pins, stickers or tattoos.

:woohoo: Now - since I haven't been to the parks in a while - I suppose they wear a certain color - so as to be on the lookout for them?
 
:welcome: Marian - you'll find a few of us are camera loving zealots around here (:blush:) Welcome aboard and just jump in! You are in for the trip of a lifetime - hence TOAL around here! :laughing:

But don't let that :scared1: you! ;)

YES! Love a good banter. Sadly it is not a hobby dear hubby can appreciate especially with the potential price tag. That said, I am looking to justify my next purchase. Does anyone travel with a 70-300mm? I've got my eye on a new Zuiko but it is a big lens.

All opinions welcome!

Marian
