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

[micmse2003]

I am not trying just want to help someone else

I actually believe you Roger. If you have noticed....once I got my one pirate you helped me with.......I let someone else try!!! Not really...I have just been too busy the last two times.

Just wanted to make sure you all knew I was still alive....and I KNOW some of you were concerned .....have still been trying to catch up on paperwork and stuff....and now DS has that nasty staph again....one thing after another.
Have been able to skim a little (very little) but it's killing me to not be on here every day!!

Hope DS is feeling better. I did post I found out group rates for DoubleTree as I might consider but do you have howmany rooms.

Chrissie your quote didn't come out but, thanks for the encouragement about DD! And DS is still not feeling great, he's coughing a lot, but funny thing is it seems to have settled into my neck. For 3 days I've had a stiff neck & just over all tired, but no other symptoms.

I had a stiff neck too chills but no fever for 4 days plus lost 7 pounds!! Really got to me this time around. I hope you are feeling better.

I JUST PIF !!!!!!!!!

Anyone here staying at the BW Anaheim Inn pre cruise ?
We will be there on the 15th and 16th.

I'm still awaiting word from smeecanada that we are on the bus to port. (keeping my fingers crossed since I just cancelled the DCL transfers)

Congrats on paying in full!!!

=Diznyfan68;24452512]Congrats Maureen!

Funny, I was just thinking about you the other day and thinking that I hadn't seen you post in a long time.

Leyt me know your plans for May in Schuamburg!!!

Hey Julie - how much time you think you guys need? I was thinking about assigning between the last week in June and first couple weeks in July. DS's b-day is on 7/7 then comes DD's and mine plus we got our anniversary and the cruise so I'm going to be pretty much gone after the 15th of July until Aug.

Anyone else wants to weigh in?

OH YEAH! If anyone wants to update or remembers anything they would like to include in their "bio" I will be more than happy to pass this along with to your SM.

Hey Maureen - Congrats on the PIF!

I just PIF'd too! Isn't it great - now I feel like I'm one again!

That's for sure - DH came up with some WDW hoppers we have had since our original trip back in '90. The girl at the desk didn't want to commit an answer but she did end up telling us to go to the admission ticket booth and they would exchange them there.

Speaking of planning. I need your name ....ressie number for our late dining.

Morning all! Well the sun is shining and it is going up to 58 today. Just hate seeing s*** this late in the season. so 17 Mondays left and we are off on the TOAL. Of course dd and I have one more Monday before we head off to WDW on 4/27! I need an escape. Work has been something else lately os I need some "non" reality!



Yesterday, the s*** didn't get a chance to stick, it was just the idea of it this late in the season. It's suspose to be spring! It was clold and windy too. Today is nice ans sunny so far and much warmer.

We had snow flurries yesterday. Now that is depressing!! Now how many time have you been to Florida in the past year???

 

[micmse2003]

Cheryl got further with the Doubletree than I did. Good job, Cheryl!

It DID boil down to the rooms being actually cheaper if you booked online on your own. And if switching to a group rate means cancelling your ressie and re-booking, under the circumstances with the Tall Ships, that wouldn't be a good idea anyway.

I can't wait to see those ships! Thanks for that info, Roger. Made us realize we had better make advanced dinner reservations. My son is REALLY going to be irritated if he finds out I get to see those ships and he doesn't. Oh well....maybe when he's 50, he'll get to take a TOAL.

These were with the total tax which is like 17%. Just a few dollars cheaper than the ARP rate.

I can’t belive I forgot to mention this…
BARGAIN ALERT!!!!

I almost never go to Dollar Tree, but I took this kids Saturday to help make up for 3 hours of suit shopping. ANYWAY, they had continuous spray SPF 30 sunscreen for a BUCK! I love that stuff, but it is pretty spendy and a bottle doesn’t last long. The stuff I bought No-Ad and doesn’t expire until 04/09.

The kicker?? Pirates of the Caribbean themed bottles!

I bough 15.

Thanks for the alert. I thought I just saw them at Walmart, not long ago at $8 a can. Now which Dollar Tree to go to? I've got 4 near me.

We had snow flurries yesterday. Now that is depressing!! Now how many time have you been to Florida in the past year???

Not enough! Actually, including our cruise 3 times in 2007. Feb Jul Oct. They were all long weekends. Our school district has a break the week of April 28th so we are try our new DVC at SSR. This time we are there for a week and going to do some <GASP> non-Disney stuff. Kennedy Space Center, Outlet shopping and maybe Universal. Also dd's friend will be there with her family and we may meet up at WDW. Then dd can finally get to go on some roller coasters and the Tower of Terror. ( That's right, mom doesn't do that stuff!)

Our flurries weren't that bad, I think it is just the idea. Glad to hear you and John are feeling better. Somehow we have managed to avoid the crud this year, except for dd and her strep. Knock on wood!

Cheryl, glad you are feeling better . . . you need Laura's name and ressie, not mine, right? I'm pretty sure you have my info but let me know if you don't.

 

[Michelle2]

Okay.....We are both finally back from the dead. John and I have not been that sick in years. John missed two days of work last week and he had only missed 3 days for his 4 by-pass surgery. My adorable DGC must learn to keep their nasty little germs to them selves!!

I have been catching up a little. I didn't realize how much this thread can move.

Hope you are both feeling better, Cheryl!

Thanks Julie and you are set. Even though we will not be linking anyone til after the 75 day out...it is nice to have the info ready!!! We sure don't want to make it any harder when it is time for excursions. We are all going to see Mickey swim enough to go around the world!!!!!

Cheryl, glad you and John feel human again

Hope you are both feeling better, Cheryl!

Yes, we don't need to be asking for trouble -- trouble will be finding us the night of the 19th! . . .

Glad you are better, Cheryl

Now if the dr who I am used looked like that ...dr who wouldn't have scared me as a kid!


Chrissie

Yes David Tennant is very popular with the ladies

Hi Andrew ... I'm still waiting for CBC to air The Doctor and Torchwood here. sad2: We still haven't even seen the Christmas episode. That and Coronation St is 3 months behind

I think it starts with you next week by 24th? It will start with the Christmas one Voyage of the dammed, set on a cruise ship with Kylie on it,

Coronation street? Do you get subtitles to change it into English from the North?

Okay.....We are both finally back from the dead. John and I have not been that sick in years. John missed two days of work last week and he had only missed 3 days for his 4 by-pass surgery. My adorable DGC must learn to keep their nasty little germs to them selves!!

I wish you both all the best for a full recovery.

Hi Everyone!

Looks like I have a LOT of ketchup to do - I was off the DIS pretty much all last week

Every so often, we get one of these insane weeks where we are running from one thing to another every day - that was last week. It started at the weekend with eye-appointments for all 3 of us and a visit to the inlaws, Monday was DS's step-dance & DH & I had choir practice, Tuesday was PTO meeting, Wednesday was DS's fiddle lesson and karate, Thursday was a doctor appt & garden club board meeting and Friday was the dress-rehearsal for our choir concert! (and DH & I both work fulltime ) The weekend was more of the same - Karate lesson, Karate promotion test, Concert, Cub scout's Blue & Gold event, etc.

I am so glad it is all over I'll try and ketchup here over the next couple days. This week should be easy - just step-dance, fiddle & karate and DS starts swim lessons on Tuesday! But choir is over until fall and there isn't any PTO or garden club stuff this week

Pamela, they say all that running keeps you young!

We woke up Sunday morning to a half inch blanket of snow on the ground here in the Milwaukee area. CRAZY!

Hey, are we feeling like we are prepared for the crazy Palo/excursion booking fun that is coming up? I was reading throught the Westbounders boards from those days and they seem to have had a horrible time of it. I know we still have a few weeks (okay, like 5), to go but I am a little bit worried. I decided to consider booking some things on my own. I have never done that before.

Any advice? I know Andrew has some good tips on the Panama Crossing thread.

And just so you don't get overconfident about our grand adventure booking, the Repo cruises have an unusually high number of Castaway Club members, so more competition, for what may be the first time ever, DCL has both an August 17 Magic and August 17 Wonder departure that will be trying at the same time, and its Sunday night, and, DCL sent pre-cruise packages to many who have cancelled already.....

No problem....

And did I forget to mention that we don't know what night is pirate night or formal night or whatever night... so we are blindly going about booking....

Oooooohhhhh, sounds like a BLAST!



Not to sound too dorky, but at least "We are all in this together..." please picture dancing high schoolers...Now I am going to have that stuck in my head...

These are the two things that scare me the most about that night.

It's been a couple of years and I had no issues booking what I needed on our last cruise so I have a question for you booking experts:

As we have two rooms, do I have to book excursions for each room separately or can I book all 5 of us at the same time once I get successfully logged in to the DCL website (fingers crossed) under either one of the two reservations?

Thanks!!

DCL opens an office in London.

I am wondering the same thing. Will I need to have 2 of us on different computers to try to coordinate excursions etc? This will be double fun What if some of us in one room get something, but not the other room?

Can this be any more difficult?

I think the only must do excursion for us will be in Cartagena. No taking any chances there. Thanks to my DS16 reading the State Dept warnings out loud, my DD14 doesn't even want to get off the ship! UGH!
