April 19, 2008 - Western - VERY Early Roll Call - Anyone??!!

[yogibigdog]

Hi Girls,
It's getting close and I have a few questions that I hope someone can answer for me.
1. My husband and I want to have a dinner at Palo but I don't wnat the kids to miss anything cool, like Pirates night. Does anyone have the itinerary of the themes going on for the regular dinners?? Maybe the brunch would be a better idea?
Palo's reservtions will go quick so you might just have to take what you can get. You can also check once you board and they do have a waitlist

2. Do I need to pre-register the kids for the clubs on line before I go.Yes, it saves time at the port. Then you just pick up your pager at the port
3. Is there a shuttle from the boat to the airport for when we get back? I didn't so the disney shuttle because we are getting there a couple days early. Can the disney shuttle be booked one way if there isn't another shuttle.Where are you staying? You would have hire a shuttle service. In December I saw Art's shuttle service at the port with quite a few vans otherwise - hire a towncar or rent a car
4. Do you think it would be cheaper to rent a car or take taxis from the airport to the theme park and then to the hotel and then down to the cruise or rent a car?? I know it is hard to know but does anyone have any thoughts!!It would probably be cheaper to rent a car from the airport and return at the port. Budget and Avis are both onsite at the airport and you can return it close to the port

Thanks Ladies!!
I am getting so excited. We arrive the night of the 17th and are planning on taking the kids to Magic Kingdom on the 18th and then heading down to PC on the 19th. Did you see the price to visit the parks for one day!

Thanks in advance!
Angie

Hope that helps!

Yogi, I love your monorail sig. Can you tell me where you got that? That is too cool.

Thanks - I sent you a PM

Okay, Joan. Finally got time this afternoon to do it.

Here's what it looks like:

Hope you like it!

Oops... just realized that I didn't put the peeps in the same order as you had them on your picture. Did you want them in the same order (i.e., Daddy, you, son, daughter)?

I LOVE IT! It's perfect!

Hope that helps!

Thanks for all the info!!

Yes I saw the price for 1 day but at this point it is a moot point, $10,000 to do this cruise, whats 300.00??? Know what I mean?

By the way, Cafepress.com did print my shirts. I guess they decided in my favor. I was going to do the iron-on transfer paper but you have to cut out the entire thing, no boarder. That's really hard when you have text.

That would be! Didn't know you had to cut out the entire thing. Guess I"d better keep that in mind when designing my own shirts. I'll have to do the iron on thing becuase of the cost involved. Hubby's beginning to realize that this free cruise we won is going to cost us a buttload of money (yes, that's an official unit of size down here). But he's being sweet about it.... he really hasn't told me "no" yet to anything. He knows how excited I am and that this is really a once in a lifetime thing for us and I've been talking about it for years. He really is a King Charming.

 

[Hypermommy]

I was just wondering if anyone else had decided on the Tulum Ruins as their Cozumel excursion? We're going to do it. I know the boys (14 and 12) are going to not be thrilled with it because it's not "exciting". But I know it's good for them to see this kind of thing and I know any time they discuss Mexico in the future with anyone they'll have something to talk about. Just curious if anyone else is doing it and if so, are you bringing kids?

Hypermommy - we're doing the Four Elements excursion with the zip lines.

4newtocruise - teeny weeny change for us on the spreadsheet - we're now getting in the morning of the cruise and staying two days at the Swan when we get back. So we won't be there for dinner the night before but will definitely see everyone at the Saturday afternoon meet.

Is anyone else staying at the parks after the cruise?

we aren't staying overnight after the cruise. However, we have a late flight on Saturday so we will probably going to go to epcot that day I want to see the their spring flower show there. we will be leaving about 4 pm due to the fact we fly out of tampa wish it was mco oh well what can you do.

We get back early Saturday, right? Might be worth seeing if we can stay one night and go to the parks Sat and Sun. It would be free for me (well... I've already paid for the Fla Res pass so I count that as free). Of course we'd have to pay for my 3 guys to get in and food and such so that might nix it.

But then again, since part of the cruise will be tax deducitable (I should be able to find at least one or two scouting requirements that are met by visiting the Tulum ruins or doing parasailing or soomething) then maybe that'd be a "talking point" to DH.

And knowing that he's now reading this thread.... just kidding darling!!!! Unless you want to, of course. I wouldn't say no.

 

[Hypermommy]

I found one dress today -- the one for semi-formal night. I can't say too much about it becuase I saw DH reading this thread last night. I will say that it's red and has a very nice V neck. And the best part is I got it from Ross for only $20 -- that makes it the perfect dress!

Woo hoooo!!!! One dress down, one more to go. Bet I won't be able to get the formal for $20

Marion has already reserved this and I will do it first thing tommorrow morning.That is really an excursion I´m looking forward to.
If it´s not too much trouble could you do one Logo picture without any name for me.That would be fantastic.

Yep, we are. We're staying at WL the night of the 26th and flying home on the 27th in the afternoon.

Is tomorrow the 90 day mark? I was checking our reservation on DU and it says we're 90 days from the cruise, but the DCL site says we're not able to book yet. So is it tomorrow?

 

[Hypermommy]

Denise,

Lisa

Well, sort of. It looks okay now but it'll look a LOT better when I lose a couple of inches around the middle. To that end I did 30 min of cardio last night and 3 sets of 25 ab crunches.

I couldn't wait... I showed Jim the dress. Yep... he liked it!

You want the group of DISsers in it or the blank deck? No problem at all.

You lucky 90-dayers!!!! I hope there's still room when I get to go for it.

Thanks - I made the changes. We are not staying at any parks, wish we could but I think I'm spending enough money on this cruise!

[4newtocruise]

I got both my dresses Thursday! Macey's - $29.99! I'm not going REAL formal on formal night. In fact both dresses can be interchangeable.

Hypermommy: how is this cruise for free agin and how is it tax deductible? Wow, I wish I could win a trip. This cruise is costing us soooo much money, I don't even know if my husband will let us do this again! I's have to definitely downgrade my cat.

[4newtocruise]

Oh, and the diet thing, not going real well! Where's my support?

I feel like I'm eating better but the weight isn't coming off. I lost a couple pounds and when I got on the scale, I gained them back.

Any suggestions? I know I have to get to the gym this week. I've been holding off because it seems when I start going to the gym, I gain weight. Muscle is heavier than fat!
