8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #9

Hey that's one of my Target clearance printers. I buy them as they are cheaper than getting a new cartridge. Problem is I have too many. Currently using a Lexmark 3 in 1 and it prints photo terribly. So I will go back to the old printer which was an epson and it really did nice photos.

There's something bizarre about a system where it's cheaper to buy a new printer than replacement cartridges.

Well I guess we could drink from the bathroom, but I've always heard that the water isn't good to drink because of all the junk that 'grows' in the tanks and is never cleaned out.

Which brings me to a question... Is that true with the water in the rooms on the Magic?

My understanding is that the water is fine. It's all distilled from sea water and I expect it's monitored closely. Given the bad press and huge cost incurred any time an outbreak of illness occurs on a ship, I expect it's monitored extraordinarily closely.

I did see that when I went in to change my Palo dining.
Oh good thanks!
Hmmmmm I could've booked him for Palo & had them charge it to his acct.
I was kind of getting nervous about that. No not the bottle part, the early dining....not that I don't love ya Andrew, but I really don't want early dining.

Aw that's so sweet. Obviously Mom is very proud of son-in-law!

Yep what Julie said! It only works on my end! Maybe I should send an email to DU to make a note on my reservation?

My credit card is up to it's limit too. I might have to come up with some creative financing to take care of my OBC. No worries Andrew! Mu ha ha ha!

I have mine already -- I'm not sure if everyone should have received their SM yet, though . . .

I would do that, Diane, just to be sure they know what you want for dining and don't get confused by the linked reservation . . .

Yes, it should be ok, Sally and Jimmy wanted early but had late, so they were grateful for the link to mine, I am sure DCL only linked for the shore trip in PV.

My C/C is really at its limit as I did pay off 2009 Cat 3, as I felt the £/$ rate was starting to slip away we saw it go down 10 cents recently.

I am linked to the 'pirates' main dinner anyway so they should know on my side.

No - not a cabin upgrade - We're still in the GTY netherworld down in the hull of the ship....

But we decided since this is TOAL, we went ahead and upgraded our prestay from Paradise Pier to Grand California (I've always wanted to stay there).

Good move! GCH is very very nice stayed there in 2005, a very good hotel, I wanted a change so this time at Disneyland hotel, I didnt think too much of the PPH, we had a character meal there that was ok, but I didnt like the inside of it.

hehehe... That is what hurt us so much for our planned fall trip - DLParis and drive around Germany... We decided against it for 2 reasons - 1. the inlaws backed out and 2. the horrible exchange rate (at least from our end!). That's how we spontaneously decided on the PC Cruise! Maybe we can do the trip next fall instead for our 2009 TOAL Course by then we'll be paying for a third airfare since DD will be 2...

My interview is Monday. Got a new suit, got new shoes, got a second better fitting suit, took the first suit back. Did my research, talked to my insiders.

so, really, any new developments? Have they decided to charge airplane passangers by the pound yet? Are they just going to push us off the plane during a fly by of the air port? Tuck & Roll, Tuck & Roll !!

Good luck with the interview. You will be awesome!

Tuck & Roll - oh my goodness!

That's good to hear. I grew up next to Disneyland, which in some ways is good (we went at least once a year), but in one way bad - there was no possible excuse to stay at the Disneyland Hotel. So it was always a childhood dream to stay there. We finally did it on a family vacation a couple of years back. It's a great hotel for families - what with the sofachair and room for a rollaway, we had 4 beds in the room so everyone was comfortable. I'd stay there again without hesitation, but like you - I wanted a change.

The big factor for me is actually the pools this time. I gather Paradise Pier just has a smaller rooftop pool, whereas GC has 2 or 3 nice pools. On a hot crowded summer day, I'm as likely to be there as in the parks.

Todd, I really like the one that includes the Fortress. Yes, it is the Mr. Emerald tours

they all include the fortress from what I have seen ....Please help

Looks like Paula's cut and paste, cut and pasted the same thing! I think though that you want the 4th one based on what the title says.

 

[magiroux]

Paula where do you buy them? Do you order them on-line? I've used the magnetic paper in the past, but the images tend to scratch easily.

Diane, they used to sell these (dirt cheap) at The Christmas Tree Shop. I haven't been there in a while so not sure if they still do, but if you have one near you it may be worth a call. Or if you don't have a CTS near you I will call the one near me and pick them up for you if they have them.

Yeouch!

When I left earlier this week, I was on page 121 and now you folks are on page 210.

I do not think I have the stamina to read through 90 pages to catch up. So let me just say hello to all!

And, by the way, neat pictures of Disney, Andrew. I hope you all had fun over there and are looking forward to lots more fun in August!

Welcome back! It could have been much worse than 90 pages as it's been a very slow two days.

Anyone know when we'll get the SM allocations?

Celestine

Not sure..i was kind of hoping by this weekend as I leave on Monday and wanted to keep an eye out if I saw anything fun. I think Laura said in the next week or so.

 

[junesgoofy]

Well after just 5 days I've lost 2lb so am really pleased. Completely agree about the size of the portions tho' no wonder I'm not hungry!

Celestine

Way to go girl!

You made a great choice! It's a beautiful hotel!

Thanks Mary Ann! That's sweet of you to offer, but we do actually have a CTS in Saugus so I'll give them a call.
