9/24/09 3 Day Wonder - Cruise Meets, and FEs, and Goombays oh my!

[jenny105]

I'm looking forward to receiving my Disney documents. I'm going to be doing cartwheels when those come in. Whenever I get them in for clients, I'm excited for them....and also a little jealous because they get to go before me!

Hey guys! Is anyone going to the World before or after the cruise? I'm doing a land / sea package. Anyone intersted in photopass? Send me a message if you are!

 

[m_kasch]

Grr!! There was a link to buy MNSSHP tickets on the website...and it worked on minute, but then it doesn't work anymore?!? Part of their mind games!! LOL

I'm still not sure about what to do in Nassau. I will be pondering it for the next month and 6 days. I think I really want to do the sealion thing, plus the beach there looks nice. We'll see...

Haha i just turned on the hockey game because I remembered it was on...and we are losing 3-1 with online 1 minute left in the game. Bummer!

 

[karentan]

stacy, i've heard about the photopass share thing, i'm not sure how it all works but it would be something we'd be interested in. we're in the world from the 12th-24th, and again for one night after the cruise.

Good morning!! I was just looking at the new menus for the Wonder, since they seem to be so unpopular. They look good to me...although I guess I don't have anything to compare them too. People are always freaking out when "filet" isn't on the menu...although grilled beef tenderloin is really the same thing. Oh, well. As long as they have some sort of steak or chicken, Tim will be happy! He's a picky eater. Although since you can order more than one thing on the cruise, i'm hoping to get him to be a little adventerous...

Back to my letter folding.........

 

[karentan]

hows everyone's day going?
my friend got married at the boardwalk this morning, so for the entire day i've been going "right now they'll be doing ...." made the day drag like hell.
i wish there were webcams at WDW

 

[karentan]

mmm, i'm really peeved off. bit of back story, if i can sell on the tickets i'd need to buy on the UK disney site, i can upgrade from ASM to SSR for £190.
i got a best offer on the tickets, it was a good price that i was willing to accept, got all excited, started looking at all the SSR threads on here. well i emailed him to make sure he was aware that the tickets would be coded onto our room keys, but still good to use, and he comes back saying he didnt know that and to cancel the offer. really peeved me off. especially as i made a point of putting it on the listing in big red writing. why dont people read things properly before bidding?!!
grr.....

mary we need to sit greg and tim close together b/c greg is the same way and i am also hoping to get him to try more stuff while we are on the cruise and at the world. My day has been pretty good i had a test and i had to work today and of course it is raining but other than that it has been a good day.

 

[m_kasch]

It's not raining here yet, but it is going to. It rained most of my way home from work too. I am watching house hunters Florida right now...i'm so jealous!! Maybe I will be on that show looking for my FL house someday...

 

[disney honeymooners]

Disney is selling the MNSSHP tickets online now i just bought mine and gregs WOOHOO!!!!
They will be here by may 20th (i chose to send them to myself so i dont have to wait in line at will call)

 

[m_kasch]

I want to buy the MNSSHP tickets, but I have to wait until we figure out when we are going. The CM that we know who works at POFQ/POR says that she thinks she can get us free tickets for one of the nights...so we are waiting on that. Are you guys dressing up? I haven't decided yet.

What about Pirate night on the cruise? I got a really cute iron-on rhinestone minnie pirate to put on a tank top, so I think I will wear that and get the pirate mickey ears with the pink bandana from the World before the cruise. I'm excited about the fireworks on the boat, that should be really cool!!

So I'm still undecided about the Nassau shore excursion thing. Part of me wants to do something there...but then this girl at my work said that we should for sure do the couples massage at castaway cay...which is expensive, so I don't want to do both. So many decisions!!

 

[disney honeymooners]

greg and i aren't dressing up for MNSSHP but we are going to wear pirate shirts and blue jeans on pirate night and i am wearing a red bandana that night also where did you find the pirate iron on? i would like to make a shirt for me and i think i am gonna just buy greg one whe we are at the world.

 

[m_kasch]

I found it on ebay, here is a link to her store:

http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Twinklin-Transfers__W0QQ_armrsZ1

She has TONS of really cute stuff!! I also go the red mickey pirate and the minnie with a flower to iron on to our FE pockets. I will have to post a picture of the FE with the iron ons, it looks really cute!!

 

[karentan]

we're not dressing up, i'm just not really a fancy dress kinda person, but we will definately be doing the trick or treating!!

 

[jenny105]

I was thinking of going in costume to MNSSHP but I would probably have to make the costumes. I don't think I have the time or patience to do that! We may just buy the Halloween themed Mickey ears and wear them that night. Maybe I'll make us some halloween-ish t-shirts too.

As for the pirate party, I have two shirts. One is gray and has black skull & crossbones on them and the other is purple with a pic of Jack Sparrow on it. Help me decide which one! Mary, I think I'm going to get the pirate ears and wear those too!! Or the Goofy ones because I love Goofy.

It is pouring here right now. I lucked out yesterday. I was off and went to the Yankee game and the rain held out til the bottom of the 8th so I got to see most of the game!

Karen - That's really annoying about that guy bailing on buying the tickets! I hope you get another buyer soon.

i'm enjoying chilling out at the mo, work was fine until the last hour when i went to see the radio station manager at 4, was waiting round til half 4, then had to run around and get a load of letters read, signed, stuffed into envelopes and franked, all in 10 minutes. needless to say i was a bit frazzled by the time i left at 5. i wouldnt have been in as much of a rush if i'd have driven in this morning, but gary was picking me up so i had to run round and get it all done by 5 as didnt want to make gary wait for me for ages.
he's started his college course today, so he's gone out to basildon college for his first tutorial!
i've lowered the price of the tickets on ebay, if they sell i'll lose £13 but i'm happy to pay £195 for the upgrade to SSR, so i'm prepared to take the hit on it. hope they sell. i'm getting more hits now that i've lowered the price.
jenny, my vote is for the black skull and crossbones!
garys going to take his stitch ears back this time, he's looking forward to seeing the new stitch supersonic celebration show in MK, so that means i need to buy a new pair of ears, cant really keep taking our wedding ears.... so going to treat myself to some more ears.
we're also going to buy some pins off ebay, we spent a small fortune last year on pins, so thinking if i can get some cheap ones on ebay we can trade them for good ones

 

[PixyDusted]

Karen, Jason wrote that show! He's sort of bummed because he said it's been getting bad reviews on websites like Mice Chat but he really loves it and he's still proud of it.

 

[jenny105]

So you're a pin trader eh? Oh wow, how Canadian did that just sound? I never got into the whole pin trading thing but I hear it's addicting.

I don't have any ears! I got Joe a pair for his birthday trip a few years ago but never bought myself any. I think I'm going to buy two for myself this time around. I never usually bring much spending money for souvenirs, it's usually for food but since that's covered, I may have to treat myself a bit!

I just got my MNSSHP tickets!

 

[karentan]

i bought a few pins and a lanyard when we were over there getting married, bought a few more last time, then gary decided he wanted in on the action, so he bought some, then ended up buying loads more! thinking if i can get them cheaper on ebay that'll save us a LOT of money!!

mikkel, thats so cool that Jason wrote the stitch show

 

[PixyDusted]

if everyone's getting paperwork, it must mean mine must be somewhere in the middle of the ocean right now!!! cant wait til it arrives, i know it'll probably be the same as last time but its all still exciting!!

hows the wedding planning going anyway mikkel? sorry to hear that some people cant make it, but i'm sure all the important ones will go

Thanks, hun! I think the lack of some guests just takes some getting used to. I know that a few of my friends would much rather be on a gorgeous cruise ship in the Caribbean than in Iowa for the wedding they committed to prior to us revealing our new date. Obviously they can't just ditch their other plans now though!

Wedding planning's going well. I love when you guys stop by my PJ b/c I feel like you're directly connected to the cruise! Definitely say hi at our wedding!

I looked through the documents today. Nothing new to me really but it's a great resource for our guests, most of which have never been on a Disney Cruise (or cruise for that matter) so I'll be sure to point it out.

Jason and I aren't so into excursions but I'd love to pick one our families can do together. Even if it's just hanging out on a catamaran (sp?) on CC. But...I don't know about excursions that day! I'm hesitant to book anything b/c I don't want to rush the wedding/ceremony/photographer just b/c I have an excursion booked at a certain time.
