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

[tom31b]

Hey M- The girl is enthuastic- give her more!!
I am going to wait until the final plea to offer as 1). I do not have a creative hair on my head 2). really have no clue what to put on it and 3) we all know I type badly.

Perhaps you can pair with someone and do research!

 

[tom31b]

For those staying at the HoJos, there is a board (similar to the planning boards) with info about the hotel

My turn for DCL email......

I sent them a email ??? some of the entertainment. We saw Taylor Mason on our last cruise (comedien, puppeteer, ventriloquist guy) The kids LOVED his show. They are asking me if they get to see Paco the pig again on this cruise, so I figured let me ask (I guess I should have known better) Here is my response:



4/23/08 Dear Maureen, Thank you for choosing another Disney Cruise Line Vacation! I'm so happy to hear that Ryan and Devin had such a great time on their last cruise. At this time we are still finalizing all the entertainment offerings forour Eastbound Panama Canal Cruise in August. All I am going to say is that lots of new and fun options are being planned! Since these offerings can change at any time, please check your PersonalNavigator once onboard for the daily entertainment schedules. I hope this information has been helpful. If you require further assistance in planning your visit, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to welcoming your family aboard the Disney Magic!

At least Angela personalized her response bu adding my kids names (I did not provide, just my ressie#) so at least she took the time to look up the information.

Basically I read.....my translation of response............you will know the entertainment schedule when you read your navigator and not a second before so dont bother asking.

Hmmm, I was reading it the same then saw your conclusion....

In this case I expect they have to contact the Vatican and find out if holding a Mass onboard would represent a potential violation of their trademark or intellectual property. I'm sure after a quick review by their legal department everything will work out magically (except, of course, for those who believe anything magic is actually satanic, in which case I apologize for my choice of words).

They should have called Benedict while he was still state-side. Now it's an overseas call.

 

[PMDR59]

Hmmm, I was reading it the same then saw your conclusion....

Sometimes I wish they would come right out and just say so........then at lest we could all just stop wasting our time

 

[crzy4dals]

Yeah! we're PIF finally


Still GTY though.

I am still GTY as well.....

Mini Pirate Cruise Journal Update

Yay! We have volunteers! But we need more.

A task force is working on pre-printed cruise journal pages. We're looking for volunteers to find some kid-facts and think of little pencil and paper-type activities for kids for each port/sea day.

I will .pdf and post all the pages separately, so people can print the ones they want. No need for volunteers to design pages, just send me the info.

If you replied that you would like to help, but didn’t pick a port, just let me know what you would like to do and I will update. (Chrissie, Erin & Poohsmum, that means you!)

Here is what we have/need so far:

8/20 – PV – Deanna (buckifan)
8/21 – Sea – M. (sk8ingmom)
8/22 – Acapulco – need volunteer

8/28 – Aruba – need volunteer
8/29 – Sea – need volunteer

Happy Birthday Kev

Kevin says thanks to all for the Birthday Wishes and Cakes. I'm supposed to let Tom know that this one is his "favoritest".

He made a pretty good haul from me this year. I gave him a $200 gift card to Home Depot (for train layout materials), A personlized Duffle Bag from Disney with Grumpy on it,A personalized Denim Shirt with Grumpy and his name underneath it, Another Gift Card to Walmart so he can get some gas for his truck. We just got back from his favorite All-You-Eat Chinese Resturaunt. Then I had him come up to school for "Lunch" this afternooon where we surprised him with a cake decorated in black icing and the Grimm Reaper on it.

To be fair, it's quite possible that they haven't finalized the entertainment yet. For one thing, (hopefully) they will learn a thing or two from the westbound and we'll benefit from that. I'm sure even if they do have someone booked they might not want to commit - as they might change their minds about someone. For all we know they might be trying out different people during the summer cruises and will indeed be looking for something special (all those sea days).

You're probably right though.

At the same time, I don't really want to know. Half the fun of each evening is digging through the Navigator and figuring out what's up the next day.

 

[micmse2003]

And why do we bother trying to get answers???

For the entertainment value!

Like I said earlier, "why did we bother trying to get answers?"​

Tom's response,"For the entertainment value!!!"​

Are we all seeing a pattern????

Question: There was DIS talk of a $5 per person tax hike on Mexican ports a few weeks, months or years ago...not sure when...unless you were PIF by 8pm whatever that evening was. I never received any official notice from my TA or DCL regarding these charges. Has anyone who is not PIF actually seen these charges added to their account? I've been making payments, but nothing has been added to my invoice and was concerned that when I make the final payment, I would think I was PIF, but not be because of the new taxes.

None here.

Those are cool, aren't they? I went and scoped them out last night after reading the somewhat contentious thread on the main board.

Do you have the link?

I just got off of the phone with Disney Weddings...I have been informed that my vow renewal is the 18th (which is okay) but..at 5:30 p.m.! I have early seating. I am not going to Palo that night as we have a DD11 and I would like to celebrate with my family and DD. I told her that we have early seating...she said that there is only a 4:00 p.m. and a 5:30 (takes about an hour)..I said I would like the 4:00 p.m. She informed me that it was taken. I asked what I could do..she said nothing! I asked if I could speak to someone..she said it was decided at DCL..I said I would call them..she said that it wouldn't change anything. She will req. a 4:00 for me but I won't know until the cruise

I called DCL ..they said the time is decided by Disney Weddings! and that if I missed dinner..I could eat at the buffet! Just picture me..wedding dress..DH tuxedo..and daughter all dressed up in line at the buffet...

Anyways..I know..I should be happy I am on the cruise but with what the vow renewal is costing us..I would have liked to celebrate with my family at dinner and not in the buffet line.

thanks for letting me vent!

Desiree

You have every reason to vent. After all this is your event and you want it when it is convenient for you.
