I just put a bid on this one. It's too big but I can have it altered like my other one. I'd have to remove the pink ribbon though.

Wow, that's great! I was wondering what time the busses will be leaving the DL area to go to the port, and how many stops will each bus make before heading to port?
Ooops! I just realized I logged in under my daughters user name. This is Michelle2

Hi, Michelle

Leaving time will depend on when the Port is going to be opening. Number of stops will depend on which Hotel - there will one stop for the liquor/water/pop purchase.

Mike, my store is right across the bridge in Louisville. You Indiana folks keep us busy on Sundays. 2 years ago they started letting the hard stuff be sold on Sundays also 1pm-9pm. We can sell beer 1pm-4am.

I could never live there. You people pronounce Louisville way too weird for me!

 

[smeecanada]

How many peeps is that??

165 peeps

I was going to outbid you for it, but brown just isn't my color!

We would love to participate in the Jolly Roger's Scavenger Hunt.
Thanks

I love that!! I like the pink ribbon, too. It adds some color to it.
I have a TON of brown all of a sudden. I guess it's true "Brown is the new black".

Can you all tell I'm finally all ready with my plans and getting excited???
I'm at the point where I really only need to sit back and wait for the wedding. Barring any unforeseen complications, that is.

 

[smeecanada]

Morning all. All "ketchup" again. Lovely pics of the Magic coming into LA this morning. August 17th can't come fast enough here. I'm ready to go now (nothing packed but you know what I mean). Looks like it's going to be a nice day around here,so off to get some gardening done and work on my niece's wedding quilt.

Paula - congrats on the Promotion and sorry to hear about your Aunt - take care and hugs to your Mum.

Desiree - congrats on the Penthouse win - lucky you - take lots of pics.

Welcome to all the newbies. Just jump in when you can.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend Everyone!
I'm getting ready to take a trip down to the Finger Lakes Wineries this afternoon. If I could carry a case of wine on the plane I would. That would save you all a trip to the liquor stores. I already have my transfers included in the cruise so I'll just be taking the Disney shuttle from the Disneyland Hotel to the Disney Cruise Ship. Let's all keep it in the Disney Family. I'll just be wearing the same formal dresses I wear on all the other cruises so no shopping for me. I was hoping this cruise would not be so formal. I do have a couple of Mickey dresses and skirts I've bought at the Disney stores that I plan to bring along for other nights. Oh by the way the Disney store in my local mall is closing. No more local Disney fix! Dresses are cooler than pants. I vote for white t sh***. The only thing black I plan to wear is a formal dress and its sleeveless. Looks like it's going to be one hot cruise. Still no room, just guaranty 5.

Thank you so much for posting that link!!! We loved looking at her pics!

 

[Stepht5]

KSDisneyDad is my husband and since this is all he talks about, well, I thought I would join in. It's like the Disboards are my competition! I have been busy putting our house together. Twenty-three gallons of paint so far! Four rooms, three bathrooms and a laundry room to go. I will be spending my entire summer finishing the house and getting ready for the big trip. I am looking forward to spending some time getting to know people. It feels strange to be the one that doesn't know people because Christopher is the quiet one and I am the talker! I will try to get a better picture of us posted soon.

SO, nice to meet you!!!!

I don't envy you with the house stuff...... We just moved into a new home about 4 months ago.... We still have too much *junk* at the old house.... Once that is cleared out we need to get the upstairs repainted and carpet yanked out -- we had originally planned to redo the upstairs (we bought the house new 17yrs ago) this summer since we redid the downstairs 2 yrs ago! LOL!

 

[Stepht5]

I was going to outbid you for it, but brown just isn't my color!

So, you couldn't be a Fransiscan?

 

[Esteri]

Real Question here....
I just went to order our shirts. Here's my question; Where it says Shipping what do we put?

I think there are only two choices... Pick Up - which means you'll be here for the Packing Party on 2 July and don't want your shirt shipped and Best Way (Table) - which means you want the Packing Crew to pack it up on 2 July and ship it out to you.

Did I answer your question?

I am thinking that this activity would be great on the sea day following Aruba. By that time people will have spent enough time around the ship to be familiar with most of areas.

Hum. We were really looking forward to your treasure hunt. DS6 is all about treasure hunts. I mean the child makes up MAPS of the house with directions on where to find the next "scroll".

But a scavanger hunt is much easier logistically, and should be equally fun.

So..... Count us in!!


I've got more ketchup to do, but I've really got ot got get cracking on those FE. At least DS6 is out of my hair as he's watching the Indy 500 (one of two sporting events guaranteed DH as part of our marriage contract ) with DH.

Back Later.

************************************************** **
See translation below

************************************************** **
?

Surrender to a spectacular backdrop of sweeping countryside as you embark on a relaxing, air-conditioned motor coach drive from the pier to the historic city center of Cartagena.
Hey, it's better than some years back when you'd have been surrendering to gun toting drug smugglers!

During your trip, discover the fascinating history and culture of this picturesque seaport from your friendly guide and marvel at the ornate mansions at buildings of the famous "Manga" residential district.
Your guide will point out buildings and tell stories in a very thick accent. You'll understand him mostly, but your kids won't. They will, however, ask you where the Japanese comics (manga) are and you won't have a good answer.

... arrive at the Convento de la Popa, situated high on the hillside overlooking the city and harbor, and marvel at the breathtaking views that surround you in every direction. Over 400 years old, the Convento de la Popa is a monastery that was built on the age-old grounds where local Indians and fugitive black slaves used to meet, and is arguably Cartagena's top scenic destination.
This is the best scenic view on the trip. You'll really like it. The kids will like it for 3 minutes then be ready to go, need to use a restroom, or want you to buy them something.

Following your 20-minute visit...
There is no gift shop. If there were, it would be a 45 minute visit.

journey to the famous dungeons of Las Bovedas, which were originally built in the late 18th century as a means for storage despite the name, and sightsee and shop amidst the many handcraft boutiques and stores that now fill the area. After your 20-minute shopping spree
Lots of stalls with people selling cheap stuff, half made locally, the other half in China. Only 20 minutes because they are all small merchants and there's no kickback to the tours. Your kids will enjoy this and you'll buy them stuff.

embark on a 15-minute drive to the famed walled city and marvel at the plethora of colonial buildings and age-old fornications around every corner. Make your way to the modern residential area known as Bocagrande, home to vast array of hotels, shops, eateries, night clubs and art galleries, and snap a picture of the long stretch of sun-kissed sand and breathtaking blue water in the distance.
You're not actually going to get out an the fornications (which is what happens to a fortification after the pirates are through with it), just drive by these places while your guide continues in a thick accent. Enjoy explaining to your kids the difference between fornications and fortifications.

Finally, travel to the Pierino Gallo Shopping Center, and soak up the local flavor as you indulge in a bit of shopping amidst some of the finest gold, emerald and handcraft retailers in the city. After your hour-long visit, sit back and relax as you begin your 30-minute return trip back the ship.
These people do kickback to the tour operator, so you'll have plenty of time to spend money. Younger kids will be bored. Older girls will enjoy the shopping. Older boys will want to hear more about the fornications.


Seriously, a lot depends on your kids. Keeping in mind that I haven't been on any of these tours and are just interpreting, I'd tend to avoid any tour that has the word "shopping" in it unless you really want to shop. That's because all the tours have some shopping, so if they put it in the title that means there's a LOT of shopping.
I'd also stay away from any tour that has walking in the title. Same reason - they all have walking, those with walking in the title are close to a death-march.

 

[m&m's mom]

Well, I mean - looking at the picture you can understand their confusion. Here you are with a whole bunch of kids who look alike, and then you have this one with the giant ears and nose, unusual features, only 3 fingers on each hand and who insists on wearing a pointy hat and dressing in a funny red robe. I mean, you can't really blame people for wondering....

Good one!!

Good Evening Everyone,
I have a question for all of those that are participating in the Fish Extender Mail (gifting). Does anyone in your cabin have any allergies such as nut allergies? This would be very important to know for those of us that maybe putting candy in our gift bags.

No allergies and we love candy.

Just throwing a reminder out here for everyone. When you send info in for your children, please be sure to list their age.

Thanks,
Paula

Please let us know when the lists goes out. I want to make sure I am on the list.

Saw this on the main board. I know some here are booked already:

No More Banana Boat Rides in CC

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just got a call from Disney Cruise Lines and was told the Banana Boat Ride we reserve just last Sunday night for the EB Repo is no longer. They have discontinued that excursion.

Not sure what happened in the past 6 days for that to occur.

Kinda bummed since DS is now 8 and can go on it.

I just had a call from DCL also....no more Banana Boat Rides. Darn, and I thought it was my UPGRADE call.


The best we can figure is that it's due to the rise in gas prices.

 

[micmse2003]

We are back from the DVC Event...it was nice..you got there and checked in. They gave you a card and you went from table to table and collected 6 limited edition DVC pins that you put on this card and it made a little story. One of the pins was the cruise ship with Donald relaxing by it. There was an open bar (wine and beer) and soda of course...some veggies and cheese and crackers to nibble..then you went in for the presentation...they did talk about the expansion for DCA..they are putting in a new land called Cars land that will have 3 attractions..the biggest one will be a car ride thru Radiator Springs that finishes with a race..kind of like test track. They are also changing the fron tof the park to look like Los Angeles circa 1930s. We then watched about different things you could do with your points...and incentives for buying more points stc..I swore I wasn't gonna buy any more points but I love my points....anyways..there were some giveaway which we didn't win..one was a piece of art from AKL....they kind of talked about the new ships..they will have 1200 guests cabins vs the 8** on the current ships...but they wouldn't say the locations of course. We also got to see some things on the new villas at DGC. There were some performers and characters. DD got pictures taken with the characters and we can downloaad them tomorrow.

The end came and there was more drinks and coffee and dessert..and of course..you could buy points..we decided to add points (of course!) and the best part...we were rewarded with a night in the Mickey Mouse Penthouse at the Disneyland Hotel (it had to do with the points we bought..we did not win anything) We are so excited! They were doing only 15 nights this summer and we got one of them! I was checking out the dates to see if one fell about the 15th or 16th of August (party in the penthouse!) but no luck. We are going the evening of July 12th!

All in all..it was a fun evening

We want pictures when you go!!!

So sorry Cheryl.. sent you a email....

It's okay Liz...I am just trying to keep up and ahead of things.

* oh....wow~ mismce, ..you made almost..$400 smackers?

...what was you selling? kisses- ..that's alot slusshies...

..to go around....

If I was selling kisses I would be owing people money. I love the frozen Margarita Slushies!!

Having read Laura's trip review about the Sierra Madre hike, I've come to realize that we all really need a translation guide for the Disney excursion descriptions. I humbly offer a beginning:


(note - yes, I'm a wimp and do tend to book DCL excursions. Sure they cost more, but it's peace of mind and low stress I'm buying - but knowing hot to read the descriptions definitely helps ).

I had one easy excursion that half of the peeps ended staying on the bus!!!!
I had two hundred stairs to walk down.....the hard part was walking up.

The dress comes in different sizess Cheryl!

I didn't quote everyone, but thanks all for your opinion. If I don't find a bargain before early July, I think I'm going to get the 2nd dress, my big concern is - does it look like I escaped from a wedding party?

I like wandering as long as it is not in a gift shop.
Who are they kidding?? You don't wander on excursions, you are herded. Moo.

But if it comes in my size.....it would not quite look the same!!!

My parents aren't DISsers but will be celebrating their 45th anniversary on the cruise - Aug 24th.

Wow!!! Someone that might be older than me!!!

..junegoofy..oops & belated..cbj 's 61...., well, i be....

..we're in the midst..of remodeling....so if you like to practice...c'mom
on over.


...oh, fyi, cbjfan'.....the ou connection..was posted..on pg.,158 ..

..faster than a speedin bullet..& crash's..blinkin...this thread moves!

bad or good thing?...i'm would not be the one...with expert..advise..

..but i know what i think~ , esp. after tilts of thee cpt's.rum.


...on the main board..."when a thread is to personal"..i'm a chicken!..

& was too afraid..to respond..but? based on what?? was they comparing
...freckles or ...birthmarks?...or..just a tiny bit jealous...that someone
wasn't noticing them? ..ok? crash...was you pointing...a cannon
@ her head? or did you skipped over one of her observations?

..what is a dcl cruise?...maybe..@ the heart..of it all...is the family
adventures...but i think the odds..that there will only..be one family
on board..is pretty slim? [ wanta bet..crash?..slush puppy per mismce's
makings?]

..thru..our various cruises..i discover..a underlying..theme...very similar
to our....family reunions? well, that's my feelings...some good, bad...
& of course..the speedo's--

we'still a glowing..from..the 06....& here's how that went...prior..i found/
read..some of the most unique..characters...outside....a

's ..zip around..a speedo pad. however, on the cruise
..i paid..close attention to them..as individuals & group...by far,
were ...outstanding..in the "desirables category- think, kissin cousins..
versus cousin "it". & of course..i got to meet..our one & only..cpt. crash~
.

now..were there undesirables..plez....there're always...atttracted..to me,

even the beverly hilbillies..."smile & wave, boys & gurls..smile & wave,

spontaneous..combustion, sooooooo the value....of posting....

are in the warning..of their buc'a~ engine-aring s..,but insights
on not only the type of earings & broadswords..but the ways they're hangin-




..last time i loook..i 'm old..& getting older...wiser, is only my association
with the...only..wench..by my name, ...& all the things...i
pro~claim, her royal highness..in the sweetest ways.

finding another..to share ..all the good/bad and in~betweens..life has to
offer..is..a blessing beyond...belief. i see nothing wrong being happy
about that..or sharing your hopes with otehrs. * note, fyi, by nature ..
what human beings were design for..do the

i just read..the prefect day isn't always up to the weather? by defintion,
there are values..in recognizing those..that you have no interests..or
conflicting views..why? here's a hint..one can't put "time"..in a pocket..
& save it for later. nor is it..the end of the world....when others don't
appeal to your senses-humor-opinions..so forth. all is needed to make a
happy life...are a few good friends, family and ..that special~some one.

sure..i used sexuality..as anchor..for interacting...& joke..but i hve'nt
intended any certain person. if so, it was purely coincedental ...unless
we actual met & was in relationship* note all the stories with my lil'
cutie..were just that..."ours- adventures- so happy together, * most
of the time.

but** ..this isn't no joke...folks, [ ]...[ me is al il'cracked, well
you really..don't have ..any ideas...how life ed..me. experiences
..has the benefit..of producing insights * if one listens. & with that,
is why..i say....i have never met a person quite like my wife. when i say
special...we're talkin about..a person..everyone wants for a friend...
everyone..from the rich & famous..to people across the street. me?
not so much..i am barely @ the 50/50 mark..but i am always..working @
it.

..then there's my dear/est of co~workers..here's a secret..we are trying
to share....with the world. ha!..our lil'gang..is a "unit" within a ward. no
one.."does"..mental health...interventions..like we're doing. every thing..
you might think...of it..throw out. we're breaking..new ground..every day.

but in that world..there're some monsters. rx. drugs. & the
drs..abusing their power to make$$$. whats wrong? when a 40 y/o
come in...& have been...on 300mg morphine..+ 10 perocets per day..
for the similar condition...i have, who takes none? who is responsible?
..ps, we want to find..a blank wall & bang our heads...as all our
interventions bounces off....with no effects..even with those on 95%
less. whats wrong ..with the ama- even so. if your a dr.,..how do
you live with yourself..the "cripples"..& lives/families.."you"..are destroying!

nearly 20 years..ago..working intnesive care..was forced..to mental health.
..i was sooo ignorant..as i was....... ..@ the lack of effective
interventions...however, working..intensive..care...i was already...doing
alot mental health...per necessarity. i got lucky..very lucky...*** i guess
right..by going to the "source"..and started gatherin..data..., the results
have..exceeded..our wildest expectations.

for here, the message..is this..your mental health..is as defined..as
your physical health...one just has to evualte it by meeting happiness
in your world. [psssst, to all the good deeders...if one really wants to
make..the world..a better place..then "work"..on making onself a
happier person..& you will have a positive effect on all of those around
you.


joel..has demonstrated a brillant mind for math & figures,

..ha, i had to "suffer" thru..statistics for the behavioral sciences/ou.
..& worst..the instructor..was !....however, here's the t-test,
i came up with..that iam still current using today..."preceptions &
reality"....the constant...being bathwater..temp. & the "measurements"
were time intervals..& feelings. though reality stay the same..our preceptions
..did not. why? is this useful?...2 differnent stories can be true @ the
same time. sooooooo for a professional care giver...desiring a positive
resoultion...for a physical problem..can increase their sucess by listening
first..where the client is @ ,and what it means..to them. something,i just
used..to sucess..after coming off my days off...* a client..had adotped
a dangerous delusional way of thinking..and had note eaten...for 2 weeks
..& since he was admitted 2 days..prior. the staff under my direction,
knows..i expect them to do the first line interventions..but @ supper
they came to me.."he won't eat..& we can't redirect him". they
were very alrm..not for the single meal..but for the 2 days+ 2 weeks
before. using the above, i listened...& selected the intrevention that
was....based on his needs. let see..that was liked week ago...he hasn't
missed a meal since. soo joel, while..math isn't a favorite subject..&
ie., about as good @ it..as my "english"...in no ways..undermind..its very
important applications...toward finding happiness.

as for this site, ..someone..[ sorry can't remember her call name-ok-
i'm getting forgetful, sorry ]..couldn't have summarized ..our group
feelings any better!...& this does allows others to share...their good &
fluffy..points...[ me & crash.are like 2 peas + pods ] which
i think reduces...bad exchanges..with positive ones...& you now know
...you have a..physch. major { some might feel/add...pia ,too } ..on board!


fyi..i hated..going to mental health...in the begining...the benefit/s/ ..
working thru...with those..in needs..have resulted in my better
apprication..for the little things... oh, just because..i get to practice
..dosne't mean.....i have them master , for that , you'll be better
off..meeting my..lil' cutie....

see..who would've thought..there are differences..between being crazy

& senseless..sorta..gives..me & crash some hope? oh, english...kills me,
me-A-"sure thing" +mints = measurements. ha! .i'm telling you...the inventor
was a character..maybe like crash..or disney-like? or mismce & her slushies..
nah..me & crash..could never..be.. that good.
