8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #5

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

So here is something…
I just got off the phone and I’m going to be published.

OK, in a book only media nerds and coerced undergrads are likely to read, but I’m going to be published! In grad school, I wrote and independent study (our term: co-dependent study) paper with a classmate about patriotism and consumerism post 9/11. Nifty things like flag-waving ads by companies that were off-shoring jobs, etc. ANYWAY, it was just accepted as a chapter in an anthology about pop culture and 9/11. YAY!

Evening,,

What is it with Thursdays?

Two back someone set fire to my place of work,

One back stuck around the other end of London on the M25,

Tonight had to go to London to see Doctor for DD, and her ear issue is back again,

Ah well,,,,,

I am taking next Thursday off,

Thanks for Pirate newsletter,

So those deck party dates confirmed?????

Sorry to hear that you are having a tough stretch of Thursdays Andrew. Hoping your DD is better real soon.

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

It is painful or just affecting her hearing?

Any guesses on how long it could take to heal? Will it affect swimming, snorkeling etc. if it doesn't close?

It became painful in the last day or so after a long cold for 3 weeks, then fluid came out. She is now on ear drops, the main rule is No swimming, no pool, no getting it wet, everything else is ok, Plane travel, listen to music,.

Heal cross fingers on this medication it could occur within three weeks, but also could take a year, or not at all.

Here's hoping that it heals up quickly this time . . .

Thank you Diane, I hope for her that the ear drops and other medication work and it repairs itself.

 

[got2travel]

I'm hoping that too. In some ways it's silly as the tickets are still good value, but an extra $60 in my pocket is always better! LOL

Anyone know much about Club Libby Lui and/or Princess fayre? DD wants a make over so am looking for imput on this as I know there are a few of you westcoasters with DD about the same age as Lauren & I doubt the speed that they grown up is much different

Celestine

I don't know much about since since I only have a DS. Although he dragged me into Libby Lu last trip so he could see the Hannah Montanah stuff.

Libby Lu is cheaper but not inside the park so a lot of people prefer Fanstasy Faire. But you really need to get in line early for it, otherwise you'll be waiting a long time.

5 kids = 1- bottles

To drink or to carry?



I have a prediction...

That is very much a DCL answer.

G'mornin' I'm certainly not an expert, so don't take this as someone who really knows, but I thought asthma was a no-go for military.I thought DS7 might have cold weather induced asthma.* DH went to the Dr. appointment with me and we had to talk about it without using the 'A' word.* Wink-wink doc, if he really has it, fine, but don't write asthma in his medical record unless it is really his diagnosis.* DH was worried that "Parents suspect asthma"* or "mild asthma" that isn't worth treating would stop DS from joining if he wants to when he's older.* But like I said, don't take my word.* DH can just be crazy sometimes.

I got in the Army with mine. Had a tough time through basic, but once I got to my permanent duty station I didn't have any more trouble. I had one pretty good attack and had a Sargeant accuse me of lying to get in. But I made a point of telling the recruiter about it and also when I had my entrance physical done...it was in my records. And at that time I wasn't dependent on inhalers,like I am now.

Monica,

What is a Magic Morning?

Thanks,
Kim

Entrance into Fantasyland and Tomorrowland 1 hour early. It's only offered on certain days. Sat, Sun, Tues, Thurs I think? Someone will correct me I'm sure.

The only advertised way to get it is to buy mulit day hoppers. It has been an unpublished fact that anyone staying at an onsite hotel can also take advantage of it each day it is offered. But they won't tell you that if you call and ask, only when you check in. There's also some rumors that this onsite perk is being taken away. I was able to use it in March. I haven't seen any reports of anyone being denied.

Forgot to quote it, but CONGRATS M.

My DD14 posts and loves reading, but I do think it would be better to have a thread on the DIS or Pirate Zone for different age groups...like how about matching the age groups to those that match the ship's kids clubs?

I am sure the little ones don't want to read about Prom and Homecoming and the big ones don't want to read about Winnie the Pooh. I bet we would have better communication if it were split...

sounds like a good idea! i know my dd would like to post, but it seems like more of the older kids post, and her posts wouldn't really fit in with their conversations.

I was going to say sorry DD has chicken pox, but I guess the correct response would be woohoo!!!

it's been sucha nice day! weather is beautiful and we've been outside cleaning up the yard. it's too bad that i can't have the daycare kids here!! LOL!!! i'm enjoying the peace and quiet!!

Congratulations! That's quite an accomplishment.

ditto! great job M!!

Hi Kim;

I'm not Monica but I do know that Magic Mornings at DL are Early Entries . . . you can go into Fantasyland and I think Space Mountain an hour before park opening.

Thanks, Julie and Monica. I suspected it was some type of early entry, but I didn't realize it was part of the multi day hopper. My next question would have been whether onsite guests can take advantage of early entry, but Monica already answered that for me.

Thanks,
Kim

Congrats M! Wow, a published author. Cool!

I like the idea of a kids section to post back n' forth by age. DD hasn't posted yet, but that would be neat.

It is so nice outside! Warm and slight breeze. Bring on the 70's.

Hi Celestine!

My DD, Megan, is looking forward to seeing your girls again.

We haven't done the makeover at either place, but we've stood and watched. Both are really great, though Libby Lui seems to have more themes, like rockstar, etc. Princess Fantasy Faire is just princess. PFF is a bit more expensive and the lines get long. I believe LL takes reservations. They are located in Downtown Disney and it is only about a five minute walk from the gates of DL/DCA.

Hope that helps.

You would think with me calling about suitcases...Monica contacting them..Tom and now you .............does DCL think that we will all just go away!!! If only we could get an answer.....any answer!!!

Do you think they are stymied by what to schedule? I think Tom should put together a schedule and email it to them. "Dear DCL we as a group have determined our own events calendar for the August Repo. Please review and distribute to all passengers.
Thank You
Your Patrons spending the big $$$s to go on this TOAL
(Actually I hope they are working on some really big surprises for us in which case I will be patient until say May 15th) "
