8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #6

[poohmomof5]

Newbie cruiser here and I feel fortunate that I lucked into cyber meeting you all & enjoying the craziness (even when I get SOOOO behind... you guys go sooo fast!)... So I do kinda know what I'm missing and I'm jealous that I'm relegated to having to hope there is enough pixie dust around so I can get some of what I want to book Next cruise I'll be with you guys on booking nite.

Fortunately, by getting to know you all I was able to find out about the PV zip line (& booked) and the Jolly Pirate (booked).... So I'm only hoping for Cartenga... Anything else will be bonus!

~Penny

GOOD LUCK!!!! So happy to have you posting here!

Hi all,

I'm finally climbing aboard... the DIS Board. Been lurking for months but just haven't had the time to sit down and formally introduce myself. Please forgive this old pirate!

This is our 4th Disney cruise. I'm Amy and I'm cruising with my DS - Matt. We have a GTY-4 for now with late dinner. We're still mulling over the excursions and trying to decide which ones we want to do.

We've signed up at the Pirate Zone and been reading up on all the activities. Wow, ya'll have been busy with the planning!

We're celebrating two graduations -- Matt from high school and mine from college.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Amy


PS: Mike, Sara, and Lexi in SF

DH and I are working on the back yard a little this evening...trying to get some stuff done before 9:00 p.m...

I am water the flowers and go to turn off the water..flip flops (silly things!) one went one way..one another..unfortunately, my feet were still in them. I landed (and this is the best part) on a bag of recyclables. Now I am lying on the ground..legs bent directions I didn't know they could go...top of my body at a wierd angle...and all I am thinking is..

If I broke something..I refuse to go to the emergency room until after booking! My DH just looks at me like I am crazy for even willing to wait that long...I kindly explained when I managed to crawl back into a normal postion that I am not missing out!

So here I sit..waiting...

yikes !! so, are ya ok?

Well here's the really cool part. My brother, who is cruising with us, owed me some money from last year. I asked him if instead of making the payment to me, he would make the payment to the cruise. I was expecting him to make a large payment to the cruise & then I was going to pay off the remainder. He paid off the full amount !!

How cool is he ?

That was so sweet!!!!

I just have to do this before returning to my regular posting.


This is my 17,000th post on the DIS!!!

Congrats Stace!!!!That was not too much talking in 6 years!!!

Joel.....Thanks so much!!! So nice of you to think of Kylie yesterday

You will all see her in this dress again on a formal night.

What cute and happy children Deanna!!! You must be on proud parents!!

That's probably it!

I am glad I am not a troble maker like you!!!

Jumping in after lurking - we are officially registered with the site. Just can't keep up with everyone.

My DD has gone to the kids site, I am very anxious for my kids to find friends - I know they will. Always do on a cruise. (DS 12, DD 9).

Have they begun sending out cruise docs yet? I always forget stuff, but it seems to me we usually get them pretty early.

I cannot believe this trip of a lifetime is around the corner. When I was a little girl, I dreamed of going thru the Panama Canal. I used to read Richard Haliburton...(he was kind of an Indiana Jones guy in the 20s) and he actually swam thru the Panama Canal as cargo. If anyone can find his Book of Marvels, its a great story for the kids.

We have been ordering PC DVDs and books, etc. My kids will learn if it kills them!!! My son is working on his Merit badges - I bet something on the canal will fulfill some requirement.

It will be very ironic for DH and I to set sail from LA. We were both raised there, got married there, and lived there b4 kids...about 34 years. Haven't gone back but once. My kids have never seen it. Kind of a full circle, circle of life thing!!

Good news!

Renee, the supervisor at DCL that was working on my issue, was at least able to everything (Both excursions and Palo) booked manually for us. The IT team is still trying to figure what happened, and fix it so that we can view and/or change things. But at least we are (hopefully) booked.

We are doing the Land's End Coastal Tour in Cabo, and then hoping to head over to Medano Beach afterward, though I have no idea what time my excursion is.

We're doing the Acapulco City Tour with Cliff Divers.

And we booked the Mangroves, Lunch, and show in Cartegena, but we'll probably end up cancelling that one because we really like the sound of the Mr Emerald tour Paula is working on.



Now if we can just get them to assign Linda's and my staterooms near each other, we'd be set.



ETA: OK, now it's showing up as reserved even though I still have the error. So I can't change anything, but at least i have something. The Cabo tour is from 11:30 to 1:00, so I doubt we'll make it to the beach. We'll proabably just wander and shop a little bit.

I am glad it all worked out Mike. You can just sit back and watch the Choas May 19th.

Everybody have a great Sunday. Today is the last day of 10ds's play (Little Eyolf) at one of our community theaters (I think this is the first time that they have worked with a child. )
It's been interesting for him to work with all new people -- a couple of other theaters ahd recommended ds to this director and she called him for a reading a couple of weeks ago. Last weekend's and so far this weeks shows have been good.
Today our out of town guests (we met them on our ABD this past August) are coming to see the show.
DS was happy last night that oldest DS and dh's parents came to the show -- 10ds dies in the show and he knew that several people didn't want to come because of that! Last summer ds played Jimmy Sullivan (Annie's little brother) in The Miracle Worker and his grandparents wouldn't come see it since he had to cry out in pain as he was being pulled away.....

Well it looks as though my TA talked to DCL and was assured that we could book at midnight tonight, they must have messed something up because I still can't log in to make any ressies. I don't see Stace or Desiree posting their frustration, so I hope that means that they got through. I'll keep trying in case there's just a computer glitch about the time, but it's not looking good. Thanks DCL!

boo, that stinks on ice !!

Finally sent in our req for the ZIP lines in PV.
Sure hope we can still get in.

Did anyone watch the Derby yesterday? It ended up being a nice day, a little chilly. The race was great! Big Brown came from the 20th post to win the race. Eight Belles (the filly) placed 2nd, but collapsed after the race with 2 broken front legs and was euthanized 8 minutes later. It really put a damper on the race.

Yes, I saw it . . . I always follow horse racing . . . I have a friend who runs thoroughbreds out of Belmont and have been lucky enough to go to the Belmont Stakes with lunch at the paddocks first and then on to the owner's boxes . . . I am always torn about this issue -- I love the horses so much that it makes me sick to see this kind of thing happen, but I know that if they ban thoroughbred racing the horses simply won't be bred, and they are magnificent beings . . . I really don't know what to say about it other than it sums up all of life, really, the wonderful cheering over Big Brown's amazing performance followed immediately by the tragedy of Eight Belles . . .
