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

[MassDisLovers]

Justthat and I were saying on the Lost thread that we were going to storm the sportsbar and change the channel to watch Lost while on the ship. The next new episode is on April 24th.

I thought that was the next new episode of Grey's Anatomy??? And hasn't Lost been in Grey's time slot? I am so sad to think that Grey's is finally coming back and I'm going to miss it!

Hey there everyone! It has been a while...I have been quickly reading in between classes at work....since we are computer limited here in our house and decided not to buy a new computer for a while...need the extra cash for vacation prep and vacation...and I hate charging anything...although buying a computer on my disney visa would certainly up my disney dollars, wouldn't it? Hey I have an idea Hypermommy..do you have a disney visa? Think of it, all you have to do is spend more to get more...how is that for economics King Charming?

Joan: Re: Dinning..all I know for sure is that our reservations are linked but for some reason, I am thinking it is for 8pm. It really doesn't matter to me much which rotation we have. Personally the earlier we eat at the late seating, the better..less hunger issues and less downtime between the show and dinner.

I started pre-packing/organizing. I think I have everything my daughter is bringing out on her bedroom floor...except underwear, jewelry and hair stuff! Bad news though...Between Hypermommy's cinderella hair and her private appointment (is that with Cheryl? I forget who is our resident DIS stylist..sorry..too lazy to check back!) I became inspired to do a tiera (oh my...that is spelled wrong, isn't it?...too lazy to spell check too tonight!) and an updo for my daughter on formal night...and wouldn't you know it...someone stepped on it and broke it...and someone is not owning up to it... can someone say crazy glue?

Off to bed. I am up before the birds tomorrow with other type A moms who stand on line to register our kids for camp at 6am when the registration doesn't actually start until 9am...PSYCHO! And I think it is going to rain...WET PSYCHO!

Good night all.
How's this grab you all? Tomorrow afternoon we actually can say WE ARE ON THE NEXT WESTERN! Sounds like MAGIC TO ME!

Grey's Anatomy has the 9pm slot and Lost has the 10pm slot. Supposedly you can get ABC in the staterooms. Maybe I will catch Lost at 10pm but I doubt I'll see Greys anatomy. I am going to tape both shows. Maybe we will just storm the Sports Bar at 9pm instead of 10pm to see Grey's too

Unfortunately no Disney visa for me. When I was young and stupid(er?) I did a pretty good number on my credit. While I have other credit cards now, Chase (I think that's the company) is apparently less forgiving. Oh well.... brought it on myself so I can't complain.

Oh cool!!! You're going to be in a tiara too!!!! Excellent

Ugh... it's crazy about registering kids for camp. I know exactly what you mean as I've done that several times. Thank goodness mine are able to stay home by themselves now and I'm past that craziness. Hope you don't get too wet.

I thought we had one more weekend to go before the cruise. Oh, please don't tell me I only have a few days left. I haven't even found the kids' swimsuits yet. Yes, you'd think they could keep up with them. But you know all those cartoons you see about how teenaged boys bedrooms look? Theyr'e true!!!!!!! It's really scary in there. I won't even go in any more. I think the swimsuits might be on a dresser in my room. It's a "catch all" type of place so I just have to clear it off and see if they're there. If not, then I'm going to tell the boys they'd better find their swimsuits if they hope to go swimming.

Grey's Anatomy has the 9pm slot and Lost has the 10pm slot. Supposedly you can get ABC in the staterooms. Maybe I will catch Lost at 10pm but I doubt I'll see Greys anatomy. I am going to tape both shows. Maybe we will just storm the Sports Bar at 9pm instead of 10pm to see Grey's too

I'm in! I'll be more than happy to help any of my sisters hogtie the men and take over the tvs!!!

 

[MassDisLovers]

I LOVE IT ! YES, we are now oficially on the "Next Western" YAHOOOO!

OK, girls the Bahama Mamas will unite for Grey's at 9PM and stay for Lost at 10! My older daughter is a huge Lost fan too so she'll like this plan! Plus, she turned 18 so she can go in to the "Adult Areas" now - hey - maybe we send HER to stake out our space! Thursday is going to be a very fun night.
Watch out, Magic, we are on our way

Hey, got a question for you Castaway Club members. Went out with some friends last night, all of whom had cruised before but non on Disney, and they were telling me that you're absolutely not allowed to take alcohol onto the ship becuase that's a big revenue stream for the cruise line. They were telling me all kinds of ways smuggle it on. I'm beginning to wonder if we should do that. Is Disney really forgiving of bringing alcohol on the ship.

Oh, and by the way... this is as good a time as any to say this. I know fromm previous messages you guys probably think I'm some sort of lush. But no.... I will be alternating water with my drinking so I can drink all day and not get too far gone (or dehydrated). But I AM going to be on vacation and after the past couple of weeks at the office I'm sure I'm going to need it. Just didn't want you to think you have to tie me up and take me to a friends of Bill W meeting ;-)

 

[mom_rules]

I don't think you can put drinks in your checked luggage but you can carry them on with you as long as the bag fits through the scanners.
They charge a corkage if you bring a bottle to the dining room with you (in fact I think I just read it went up to $15 per bottle).
Never had an issue when I've had a couple of bottles in my carryon-I just don't bring them into the dining rooms-nice bottle of wine on a sunny deck in the afternoon is just the best!

Cool... the way these guys were talking last night it was absolutely verboten to bring anything but maybe a bottle of wine. We have champagne for embarkation night and for my birthday and we'd like to bring a bottle of vodka or something. Just didn't know if I was going to have to smuggle it in. Thanks for letting me know.

that's because the other lines charge cheap fares and make up for it on alcohol and casinos.
Disney, OTOH, charges you right up front.

hi i dont drink for weeks sometimes, but on vacations i have it for breakfast! i did not have one drop for lent and that is 40 days! there are no rules on the cruise . i have a bunch of cigars that i order just for the trip so the cigar and cognac club, it will be really good SO SMOKEM IF YOU GOTEM

Works for me! I'd rather have the price right up front. There's no telling how much I might drink.


So.... this time two weeks from now I expect to be at the port and hopefully have an early boarding number. I'm thinking of taking a book and heading over there really early and letting KC and the boys deal with the luggage when they come over. Don't know if that'll work for poor KC though. They're good boys, but he does love his bachelor time. But if I get to do that, I might just have to go out and get Rhett's People. Anyone read that? As much as I love GWTW, it's something I just gotta read!

What camp do you have to get up at 6am for?

-Joan

 

[Hypermommy]

Okay, so I'm at work today (bummer!) becuase I have to get this logic working (!#@$$#!@##$@!). And I've just got my music playing in random order. So I hear "Somewhere Below The Sea" (Connick, I think) and then "Big 10 Inch Record" (Aerosmith) and then "Orange Blossom Special" (Scruggs and Flat I believe). Only on my playlist, eh?

So then I got to thinking.... what kinds of music do you guys like? And what types do they play in the various clubs and such?

You know, denial is the first sign of a problem!

WHAT? Verboten? Are you drunk again?

Not yet... but surely planning!

Denise,

I personally think the 80's night is the best. It is in the Rockin' Bar D one night (I forget which). It's a cant miss.

Next Sat. I am taking DD to Mohegan Sun to see Avril Lavigne. I like her. Bon Jovi is my all time favorite though. I would definately catorgorize myself as an 80's chick. Love and miss my BIG hair days. I know for a fact that Gina & Jeff are 80's metal/hair band fans.

I also love the obvious: Billy Joel, Harry Connick, Elton John, any kind of show tune, movie music, etc.

Bottom line: give me 2 martinis and I'll dance to anything!!!!!

Ant

 

[Angiefromalberta]

Ok Denise,
I think that you are probably the only one that could handle this request. I think we need an updated funlist that I (we) can print and save for the cruise. For example time, date and place for walking, Lost Party, cigar meet for the guys. Otherwise we will get on the boat and never know where, when etc. as it's not like we can get on the board.

Then again, you are across the hall from me and I have a feeling that I'll hear you!! LOL
