David, I hope Helen's mother and husband appreciate the sacrifice you and your family are making for them:grouphug:
I would not be surprised if there is another Panama Canal Cruise in the future given how popular this one has been:confused3

We'll miss you.
 
OK- chat on pirate site or has it been determined?
Roger - the only way I can ge into DIS chat is thru the "backdoor". Will you please post the link again if that is what we are going to use?

A little announcement

Following our last holiday in WDW I suggested to Helen that she should invite her parents to come to USA and WDW to find out what it was like. We talked about how we could do this as both her parents are divorced and re-married. We knew that we could offend one set for one reason or the other set for another reason so we sent a letter to them at the same time. They both responded positively but thankfully, there was no disagreement as to who would go in 2008 and who would go in 2009.

Helen's mother and her husband are to go this year. The plan was that we get off the cruise on 1st September and that afternoon, we would meet them at Orlando airport and they would stay with us at Old Key West using our DVC points.

So far so good.

A few weeks ago, they started asking questions about the cruise. They have done a few cruises in the Mediterranean and enjoyed them so they were VERY interested in a DCL cruise. When I went into details, dates and prices about our 15 day Eastern Repo, it was apparent that they couldn't do that (time-off work etc - he doesn't work for the Government like me ).

To cut a long story short, they asked (begged would be more appropriate ) if we would change our plans so they could do a DCL cruise with us as well. Helen and I tried every way to get them to come to LA with us but at this stage we couldn't even get them on the cruise. It also came to light that they were nervous about flying the Atlantic on their own for the first time as well.

It has taken several days before I was comfortable with "announcing" this but I have now cancelled our place on this cruise and instead will now be going on the 5 day cruise on the 1st September instead. The flights have all been re-arranged and car rental cancelled and re-book, hotels altered etc. etc. It was surprising as to how much I had already done.

Helen and I are very disappointed that we won't be cruising with you, especially with some people we know as friends. The most upset is probably Alex who was looking forward to spending time with so many friends he has come to know and keep in regular contact with. He had agreed to sing with some of these friends and even drink coffee - he doesn't even like the stuff!!

All this is a result of a fairly open and generous offer by me to my in-laws which has been turned around but not to our advantage. I'm not angry just extremely disappointed (more so as I had paid for the cruise in full).

In closing, the night before the cruise I have booked us all into the Radisson at Port Canaveral with the intention of getting up early to hopefully meet some of you getting off the Magic and leaving the port. This is a small price to pay in order for us to see so many of you we were looking forward to meeting again. This has been the only way I have been able to console Alex.

After the 5 Day, we will be returning to WDW to stay for another week so if any of you are free and available on Saturday 6th September onwards, PLEASE, PLEASE, let me know.

Best wishes

David

David, so disappointed you will not be cruising with us. Hopefully we can get together after we get off the ship for a few..........Rich was so looking forward to seeing you and your family again but sometimes things happen for a reason.
 
I was just coming to post this. In addition to the downtime, our thread will disappear TEMPORARILY tomorrow.

So...for chat....I see Roger found a back door, but I'm not sure we should do that, especially if we won't have the thread to let people know where we are. I'm wondering if we should just to pirate chat for now. Then again, I probably won't be there. DS is set to be discharged tomorrow evening. :cool1:

That is great news.:woohoo: :woohoo:

Oh well if we're talking James Darren then he might have to be eh hem...number one!!! :lovestruc

Hmmmm since dessert doesn't look so great...2 lobster tails sounds about right! :thumbsup2

No thread...for 24 hours??? :scared:

Okay John does read the thread but you are right.:eek:

#1 importance James Darren!!!:woohoo: :banana: :dance3:

CM won't be able to get into chat!

Clear enough? (Kidding)

LOL

I went to check it out already.:thumbsup2 Go check and see I made it in the chat!!!:rolleyes1

You know we are starting a huge rumor that Julie Andrews will be on the cruise, right? I can't wait to read somewhere else that "reliable sources" say she will be on the EB repo . . .:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

It would be awesome, though . . .

I can see the rumor spreading...

According to Bellelinus, a close personal friend of Julie Andrews...

Or maybe Julie Andrews can Draw as well?

:lmao:

BTW, Angelina went to pick up her last paycheck after school. She had a talk with the manager that fired her and he offered to give her her job back, but she declined. Angelina found out that he told the other store employees that Angelina had quit and wasn't fired. I'm guessing he must have heard from the home office!!! ;)

Good for her. You must be proud of how well and how maturely she handled everything. And I'm glad she got to set the record straight with the other workers.

And Happy Dis-iversary Andy!!


Yes...meeting all the people from our thread is number one importance.

I agree! Can't wait to meet everyone!


I will not only have one but make that at least two lobster tails for dinner!!

Through a misunderstanding with our head server last cruise, we ended up with FOUR lobster tails apiece!!!:scared1: And let me assure you that they didn't go to waste. Although we wondered why the chairs in the Walt Disney Theatre shrunk after that dinner.


DS is set to be discharged tomorrow evening. :cool1:

Great news! We'll continue to keep him in our thoughts that all continues to go well.

I'm really sorry to read this. You will definitely be missed, as we were looking forward to meeting you and Helen.
 
Don Ducky is not to be missed if he is on TPC.
Yes I will dream what I can have, now, have to wait till August to taste.


Mr. Williams will be on this cruise. He told me several times when we spoke on the Dec 8 cruise thsi past December. He is such a nice man!! I didn't win any of his raffled art, but he did draw two pictures for my children. I can't wait to meet him again!!
