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

Cheryl...what exactly is that you do?

A question John asks (very quietly in his head) over and over.....

 

[got2travel]

OK so probably another nuby stupid question... What are the character breakfasts? Do you need ressies?

Based on your dining rotation, you will be given an invitation for breakfast with the characters.

A traditional character meal like you find at Disneyland or WDW would have the characters visit each and every table so that the kids (of any age) could get autographs and pictures. DCL used to do it this way. Then it was changed to just a show in the middle of the dining room with some of the characters. They'd do a few dances with the kids but did not visit all the tables. In my opinion, this made the breakfast not worth going. Per the post today, DCL went back to the traditional way of doing things, probably after many complaints.

I think my question got lost. Has anyone seen a link to view what the pins look like for the repo?

They aren't out for our cruise yet, only the WB ones were available (about 30 days out from their cruise). There is a link on the Planning Boards in the ?? go your own way ?? section

Is this what you are looking for?
Link removed because I do not have enough posts

Exactly, Thanks

So far, Disney has *NOT* released any information as to what pins will be on our cruise.

Keep an eye out on odpt.com (Offical Disney Pin Trading) under new releases and keep an eye out there for the offical announcement from Disney.

I will thanks

Ours is in already so we get a fridge for DD's formula...

You guys could also keep checking for what you're interested in. We were able to get the divers (yeah we're gonna chance it) yesterday.



Yeah I know! She just spread it on crackers or toast...



I think you could just eat plain ole tomatoes (isn't the paste just concentrated tomatoes? I dunno! )

I also do very very little damage to books. DH doesn't have time to read so I have no idea what he'd do to the books



I would guess so if you can't just note it on your account (though I'd call to make sure).

Hey Terri,
Didn't you need to ship formula to CA - if so, my DD Lori has offered that you can send it to her and we'll bring it to the ship since she is here in LA. Pm me if you do.

I saw on the main boards an invite to Chat tonight. It'll be like last week with everybody and anybody in there and closing after about 2 hours. So make sure that you all come to Pirate Chat if you want to get in on all the fun!!

I just posted this on the planning forums, but figured I'd copy it here for those who don't always remember to check over there....

Hi Fellow Pirates!

I just went back through this thread and have a list of Pirates who are interested in the Pirate Brunch on the 24th. Since the "hassle free" booking was anything but hassle free - did anyone else manage to get a ressie for this? If you didn't get a ressie, do you plan to try once we are onboard or are you going to skip it? If you have a ressie or plan to try and get one, do you prefer to eat with just your own party or would you be willing to share a table with other Pirates (It may be easier for Palo to seat us all together if we are willing to share tables...)?

If some Pirates plan to try and book when we board, I will post a sign-up list on my cabin door (6076) where you can add your name if you get a ressie. I'll take that list to Palo the next day to see about getting us all seated together. Don't worry about which time slot - just get a ressie for the 24th! Palo Brunch has usually taken 1.5 to 2 hours for DH & I to finish in the past, so we will all have plenty of time to socialize.

This is the list I have as of June 6th. If you would like to be added (or removed) just let me know!

Thank you dear!

I (finally) updated the kids page on the website. There are a bunch of new kids (sorry it took so long to list) and I have them broken into the new age breakout

 

[winotracy]

Does anyone know if this is the same form you would use to let DCL know about food allergies?

Yes, this is the form you want to use for anything like this. Additionally, with food allergies, I would make sure you touch base with your head server (make him earn his tip) and server on the first night.

Great minds. I was thinking I could drive it down for her too. But it will be easier for the locals to help out.

I wouldn't get my hopes up for a traditional character breakfast. I read the later posts on that thread and this week's cruise is the only one so far that has had it changed. The repo and the May 25 cruise had the show style. Not sure why they changed it this week, unless maybe that cruise is really empty and they figured they could do it in the normal alotted time.

DIS chat is open

I read on the main board that they went back to doing it the old way. Here is the thread http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1848395

PS, is it just me or it this the hardest smilie to add? With all the rolling around he does, I have a hard time clicking on him..I suppose it could be my liquid lunch...



ETA, I am just kidding of course...

I'm getting started on my liquid dessert!

 

[dahuffy]

Here's a thought, if they offer Palo brunch on Canal Day, somebody might be able to snag the private room for brunch that day.

Works for me!

 

[dahuffy]

nope

 

[dahuffy]

Me either, usually after I finish reading a book you can never tell that it's been read. DH is the same way. DD11 on the other hand..OMG..what she does to a book!!!

I always "dog ear" the pages. Even when I see something I like in a catalog.

 

[Grandma x3]

Works for me!

Another group has already requested it!!
