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

[crazed'boutmaryP]

Hey, guess what, I finally got my computer. The bad news, Best Buy did in fact destroy all of my previous data! :mad

-Joan

Glad you got your computer back, sorry about the magnets.

 

[crazed'boutmaryP]

Certainly... please do join us. I'll put your name on the list next time I update it (probably tomorrow or so).

Thanks

We are doing it. Friends of ours cruised in February on RC and they said it was one of the best days they had....

Do you know any details-travel time, cost, activities if any? Haven't had time to call or research-too much time on the Dis.

 

[dis2cruise]

Well guess what I finally rec'd in the mail today my docs!!!
My ta called me late last week and told me the "JUST" came in, yeah
right oh well at least I have them :

 

[4newtocruise]

glad you are joining us

Can't wait! I think the family will like this tour better. Good choice.

Joan

 

[Mass-cateer]

Joan, Can you update the spreadsheet and show Jordan as DD..not DS? Also, we are arriving on 4/18 and staying at Orlando Marriott, so we will not make it to Fishlips, but we will make the cruise meet.

Denise...Do I still have time to email our photo? I found a good one from our cruise last year. Let me know.

Jeff

 

[Tinkified]

Ressies for Fishlips are being made probably wednesday. We have had some busy days and weeks lately. Not too much time for much of anything. It is on my list of things to do....along with a million other things to do. Between doc visits, computer issues, new responsibilities at work, packing, shopping, standing on line for camp (yes she got in and is excited about it!) and a birthday (mine!..I will be, as my daughter called it...the disney channel age...in NY that is 38!) we have been quite the busy family.

Dinner reservation will be for 7pm (Joan could you update it on the spreadsheet! Thanks

This is what I have as a head count

Tinkified 3
Connie 2
Dis2cruise 4
Madgomez 4
Hupermommy 4
Techjpm 3

And I have Ant and Joan with maybe's for 4 people each. If I recall correctly, both of these are no's. Please correct me if I am wrong, Antoinette and Joan.

The adult table and kid/teen table is fine with me...I have a little one (7 going on 77) and if I remember correctly, do does Madgomez and Techjpm. I am thinking these little ones will sit with mom and dads...and the teens will have their own table? Let me know Mad and Tech if this is what you would like to do!

Will check in later to see if anything needs to be updated or changed!

Joan and others that are doing dune buggy tour in cozumel..sorry, no hyperlist in front of me: did you get a letter regarding the meeting place cahnge for cozumel dune buggy tour?

Catch you all later. Almost to single digit countdown! Michelle

 

[a7moulton]

and a birthday (mine!..

 

[Hypermommy]

Hey there, hi there, ho there, all! Check this out.... this is the last double digit day that the hyperlist will be going up. If I post it again (which I probably will) it'll be after I do the single-digit happy day dance.

Spreadsheet looks great Joan! Thanks for all that work and the totalling and all. Looks like we're gonna have lots of birthdays. I didn't realize how many. Too cool!!!!

Oh and Joan, I'm presuming your excursion change was on Grand Caymen? If not, let me know the GC excursion so I can put it back on and tell me where to go (behave!) to put your new excursion on.

I'm with Conny... is Fishlips 6 or 7? I thought it was 7? Now don't confuse me this close to the cruise. You know I've only got two brain cells left.

Gail - Joan got your hotel and time changed on the spreadsheet (she's good, ain't she!). I'll try to get my son to my computer to PM Brittani before the cruise. With the way things are going at work, I'm not sure how much I'll see him between now and then. But I'll try. And don't call that precious girl normal... normal is boring!

Jeff - yes, sir... definitely still time to email the photo. Send it to hypermommy at comcast dot net and I'll be happy to get it up and send you back the link.

Michelle... LOL about you being the Disney channel age. Around here I think that's 40-something or (horrors!) way up in the hundreds for the HD channel. So instead, I'm celebrating the 21st anniversary of my 21st birthday. So how old are all the other birthday folks gonna be? C'mon... share. Remember... getting older beats the alternative.

[Hypermommy]

Hi all,

First off... a question. Could one of you returning cruisers explain to me exactly how the luggage thing is handled? Jim's planning on dropping the kids and I off at the port and then returning the van to the hotel and hopping the shuttle (or maybe a taxi depending on timing) back to the port. Does that mean I'm going to have to drag around the luggage until I get checked in? Or to put it more precisely, does that mean I'm going to have to threaten my kids with bodily harm so they'll drag around the luggage until we get checked in? Is it like at the airport where you have to be inspected, detected and injected before you can leave your luggage with them? Or is it, like I think I've heard somewhere, that you leave your checked luggage somewhere just inside the gate and you only carry your carry on stuff into the port building with you?

Second off, an offer.... as soon as I get the luggage thing handled the kids and I are going to be sitting around with my Disney trivia cards passing the time ... just reading cards and guessing answers... I figure it's small -- I'd love to bring the whole game but it's not small. I may leave them for a moment to do check-in if I can but I'll be within site of them. I'm going to get to the port at about 10AM. If anyone else would find it easier to dump, er, uh, leave their kids somewhere while you take care of the luggage and stuff, I'd be happy to keep an eye on them. If you don't feel comfortable remember that I've had the background check through Scouting and everything and we'll be in a fully public place. But if you still don't feel comfortable, I fully understand.... just thought I'd offer in case it would help someone out.

 

[conny264]

Hi Denise
Don´t worry,King Charming can drope you off and the Porters are outside and collect all your luggage.Than you go to the Terminal,through security and upstairs to the check-in.
Take care
Conny

 

[Hypermommy]

Perfect!!! Hula... you hear that? KC's planning on dropping me off at 10AM, I believe. Maybe you could follow us in the car or meet us over there (can't remember where you're staying) with your luggage. Once all the luggage is dropped off, KC will return our van to the hotel and you can go drop off your car and your daughter can hang out with us. Sound like it'll work?

 

[anty30]

Michelle,
you are correct, no Fishlips for us. We may pop in to say hi, but will not have dinner.
Thanks, Antoinette

 

[dis2cruise]

Ressies for are being made probably wednesday. We have had some busy days and weeks lately. Not too much time for much of anything. It is on my list of things to do....along with a million other things to do. Between doc visits, computer issues, new responsibilities at work, packing, shopping, standing on line for camp (yes she got in and is excited about it!) and a birthday (mine!..I will be, as my daughter called it...the disney channel age...in NY that is 38!) we have been quite the busy family.

The adult table and kid/teen table is fine with me...I have a little one (7 going on 77) and if I remember correctly, do does Madgomez and Techjpm. I am thinking these little ones will sit with mom and dads...and the teens will have their own table? Let me know Mad and Tech if this is what you would like to do!

Could you take us off the Fishlips list, jenny has a surf lesson late in the afternoon. We might stop in and say "HI !!" but I dont want you to have 4 seats empty if for some reason we can't make it, hope you understand.

I did get an updated email on the location change for the dune buggy tour. Thanks.

[4newtocruise]

Happy Birthday Michelle!

Question: We are a cat. 6, where does my children sleep? I see there is a convertible sofa, is that it? If so, do I have to convert it every night or does the staff? I don't want to to anything extra if I don't have to.

[mom_rules]

So realistically, if all ashore is 7:30 in Grand Cayman and it's a tender what time should we be able to book an excursion to start (if not through DCL)?
