ALASKA - August 30th, 2011 - Mickeys Mooseketeers & the last Alaskan Cruisade! New Th

[HiMagicFan]

TDC Nala ~ Hi there! May i copy your Aloha picture and make my own magnet with it?

Thanks

Thanks Brenda, I appreciate it, so far it hasn't been any trouble at all. Now those secret Mickey exchanges can get into some work The last few cruises I have been on there were so many people participating in FE that we split in groups to make it manageable, but we don't have near that problem here.

Thanks PJ for digging around on Tracy Arm day for the tastings. I'm afraid I'll miss something being inside. But the tequila/margarita one I have always had conflicting plans. Even on the 15 nighters I have missed it. Alan would probably like the whiskey one at 10pm though. Maybe I'll surprise him & Bob with that.


Piikea, hopefully your DM will come with you. That would be nice. Here's hoping check in/boarding doesn't take an hour. I'm betting the main crowd is out of there by noon

How about meeting at 3:15 in the Promenade Lounge on the 30th to say hello? Without knowing our dining rotations, the character breakfasts will all be on the 3 sea days and they are in Parrot Cay so it will be hard to plan a breakfast on board.

We can plan a time for a meet on the 30th for breakfast and if it works, it works. Afterall we are all on vacation and have lots of things we want to do and it is impossible to fit everything in.

These both sound do-able to me....

Yes, the one that I did last time, we had to break it up into groups. There we so many people signed up for the cruise and the FE.

We will be at Timmys and 8:30am sounded good to me. I am usually up at 6am. I am hoping to be on the ship early. I will be buying booze the day before so I can have it pack in my carryon.

Just wondering how many would like to meet for drinks before supper every night (or any night you can make it)? What would be the best time 4pm, 4:30pm or 5pm? Is there a place to meet that kids can come too, we will have two kids in our party (I guess three, one is going to be 18 and here in Alberta they are not kids any more and can go into bars and drink at that age)

 

[PBader]

Tracy, all the bars except for the Cove allow children until later in the evening. The Promenade Lounge would probably work best--the others would more than likely be pretty dead. The nice thing about the Promenade is they have chips and salsa out at that time for munchies.

Diversions has them out later in the evening. Took us a couple cruises to figure that out They have chips & salsa, hot dogs and wings and a few other things.

Meeting for drinks sounds nice. Whatever time works best for everyone will be okay with us

I think if we just set a time and a place then who ever can show will show. I like either 4pm or 4:30pm and the Promenade look good to me.

I know when we first sailed kids were able to go into bars but I seen others talk about the Cove so I though maybe things had changed since the last time we were on Disney.

 

[HiMagicFan]

This sounds good and I don't mind what time, as I probably will miss half of them (skagway, juneau and ketchikan days)... or are we only talking just sea days?

Either way I agree that if we just set it and whoever shows shows will work.

Are we doing this for, what, about a 1/2 hour?

Can I vote for Promenade @ 4:30 please.....

Sorry ~ maybe I should have just left the time to you guys since I said I wouldn't make so many....so whatever time you decide will be fine...

 

[HiMagicFan]

Hi Paula,

PM'd you with updated information. Let me know if you got it...thanks

 

[PBader]

Piikea, I got it and did the changes

I added a time to the roster of 4:30 for family friendly drinks.


Going to Olive Garden tonight and Stanger Tides. Hope everyone has a nice evening

I was working on the logo badges, would you like your Dis name on them or just your real 1st name? I tried putting both on them but they looked better with just one or the other. I'll have to play somemore and see if I can't figure out how to post from printshop.

Sounds good and I think we can do it everyday if we just leave it to whoever shows shows. Also I don't think we need to set an end time just when people need to leave they need to leave. Because those who have early seating might have to leave while those with late might want to stay longer.

For me the real 1st name. I don't remember name very well.

Can you send me the logo again for the t-****s. My computer I had it on crapped out on me. travelwithtracy at mcsnet dot ca

 

[PBader]

I sent it Tracy. I can relate to computer problems. I had to buy a new laptop a couple months ago and I still miss things on my other one. I need to take it somewhere and see if they can get all my pictures and documents off it. I can't get it to do anything anymore except a blinking dash I wish I would have copied everything to a jump drive when I had the chance..........



I also added the logo picture to the ROSTER page. Des did fix the link on the 1st page so it goes to the roster, so if you ever don't want to search for it go there for the link. I know it's not the easiest thing to find on here.

Our Logo

Here are the shirts I made with it on www.zazzle.com. I am still waiting on another 50% off code from them. If I remember right with the code the hoodies were $20 and the tee $14. I still need 4 hoodies and 5 tees--so definetly waiting for a code
White Hoodie

Natural Long Sleeve Tee

I didn't think we needed an end time either. Just very casual

 

[PBader]

Alan & I really liked Stranger Tides last night. Saw it in 3D. Saw the previews for Cars2--that looked cute. Both of those should be playing on the ship. that was the 1st time we had been to the movies in about 2 years--so it was fun seeing it on the big screen


I have 2 stops to make to get some supplies for work, Meijers and the Dollar Tree. I really need to get my butt in gear. It's beautiful here today and I sure don't want to spend all afternoon at work.


Hope everyone has a great Saturday

 

[poohj80]

Headed to WDW for my b-day trip and plan to see Stranger Tides on the Dream Thurs.

 

[tracyvansmith]

Thanks for sending it. I ordered three t-shirts from vistaprint canada.

 

[PBader]

PJ, have a great birthday vacation!!!!!!! Enjoy the Dream

Tracy, glad to help!

Hi! Paula, do you have the high resolution file for our logo? I'm testing the design-your-own at www.cafepress.com. I just did a couple of thermal mugs; they are currently sitting in my shopping cart.

We'll definitely try to make a couple of the 4:30 meets. We're staying at the Pan Pacific on the Alaska cruise package. Yes, we spent more than Priceline offered; but it's just the 2 of us. We get breakfast included and a 2 pm checkout. I'm sure we'll be ready to board a lot earlier than 2 pm, but it's nice to know we have the room for that extended time.
