April 29, 2012 ~ Aloha! ~ Inagural Wonder to Hawaii-Part 4

[SanDiegoSteph]

I won't know this until about two weeks prior to sailing when DCL will confirm rooms, etc for special events.

Corinna

Luckily with the Poker Tourney, I don't need a lot of lead time as there is no money to collect or much coordination to do. We'll just be bringing lots of chips and cards a list of interested participants.

So, let's just hold off and see what firms up by mid-April and then we can pick the best time/date for the fellas to play.

Thanks!
Stephanie

Very Good Point, Lexa!!!

So, I'm thinking I should pick another date/time for this to ensure everyone who wants to participate can regardless of the kids' clubs. Heck - we'd be in the same boat!

Let me check with Corinna as to what days/times are open.

I guess I should let the fellas decide if they'd rather play on a sea day going over or coming back (or both!)

Thought??

OK Steph, I'm putting John back on the list and that moves you to 14....you're safe!

I say do one on the way there and then one on the way back....but definitely on sea days. I'd say on a lazy afternoon a day or two into it so they would have time to relax and chill first. Just my opinion.

If you want to get some and can find gold Fishhook findings, I can swap them out for you on the ship as I will have my jewellery tools with me. It literally would take seconds.


Corinna

Ohhh what a sweetie you are, I will have to look into that. Thank you

 

[valbob89]

Wayyyyyy too expensive for my blood. I wish they would bring the price down and just play for Disney type prizes.



The shirts look fantastic ... Fun view of the City By The Bay too

Thanks - This was taken on our upper deck outside, next to our orchid green house. It had started as my hobby but Bob has taken it over.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Just a special shout out to Heather, you did a great job putting together all the groups for the FE list. I just wanted to give you a huge hug and many thanks. Tell Tom thank you from us too. You're both the best!!! Or as my friend Marilyn would say, You are a STAR!!!!!!!!

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Val, I look at your pictures and I see Santa's elves at Christmastime. OMG Woman!!!! You're incredible. Do you have octopus arms or something to do all that work? hahaha. Really, thank you so very much for all you have done with this project. You did a great job!!!!

 

[kugalbelle]

I was a bit sad too when I realized it since it will be just DH & I on this one....but since we are doing wine tasting in Ensenada, it should still be a fun day! I do hope to chat on the phone a bit with my DS when I'm on shore that day.

This will also be DH and I on this cruise (first cruise without our DD who can't take off work and also has her/our furry family to take care of). I'm sure I can expect a call from DD and will have to make an international call from Ensenada to South Africa to wish my mom too.

Here are the pictures I promised of us modeling our shirts and of my dining room. I also had Bob take a picture of the a couple of the banners and posters I got "free" from Vista we might want to hold or put in front of us in our group picture.

Wow Val, THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH for organizing all this and all the effort and work you have put into this for all of us.

I am going to book my transportation to the port soon and I can't remember what time we arranged for pick up last time,2005, lol. How long of a drive is it from Disneyland to the Port. Also, any recent cruisers, what time does the terminal open?

Thanks!!

 

[Lexa]

Val, thank you for posting pictures....shirts are looking wonderful....but what a task to sort and pack all of them......you and your hubby are doing an amazing job! Thank you!

 

[MousseauMob]

Another premEAR at Sea - WONDERful......So that would be a PJ Party on midnight (12:01 am) May 4th......

We're in! Especially since we can sleep in after!

I just realized we will all be cruising on Mothers Day!!!!! My boys shouldn't have any trouble making me feel special this year!

My son already told me this will be the easiest Mother's Day because they can easily go shopping in the gift shops, and he'd "call" for room service breakfast!

So, I need everyone who originally signed up for the alternate luau at Feast at Lele and has not yet "re-confirmed" that they want to join us now at the Drums of the Pacific luau to let me know if they are still interested by updating the spreadsheet with a "YES" in the "Still Want to Participate Column"

Please also update your kids # based on the new age categories.

Thanks!

Val and Bob the shirts look GREAT> I wish I lived closer so I could help you pack them up.

I got a call from Disney today - it was a recording telling me that the Arizona and city tour was changed from 8 to 9:15 Did anyone else get a call?

Monica- I hope this does not get us back too late to meet up with you,

Does the FE sheet with the decks on contain everyone's name? I did not think so but wanted to be sure.

 

[ssnyder]

We will be joining you on the wine tasting...We are leaving my Mother mainland, so I must remember to have something special sent to her that day!

Curt and I are doing the wine tasting also. I must remember to mail a Mother's Day card from Hawaii.

 

[MousseauMob]

I got a call from Disney today - it was a recording telling me that the Arizona and city tour was changed from 8 to 9:15 Did anyone else get a call?

I got this call also. I thought maybe our port time changed and that's why it moved, but when I logged on, it looked the same.

Here are the pictures I promised of us modeling our shirts and of my dining room. I also had Bob take a picture of the a couple of the banners and posters I got "free" from Vista we might want to hold or put in front of us in our group picture.

The shirts came out FABULOUSLY! GREAT JOB, Val and Bob! WHAT a lot of work for you guys.

Well, after my last post, I am down to 8 scrapbookers that I haven't heard from. I will be posting a list by end of weekend if I don't hear from them.

If anyone else wants to sign up, I have a few spots left, and a couple of people asked about 12 x 12 layouts because they do smaller scrapbooks. You can easily convert the layouts to 8 1/2 x 11 if you do the smaller size, no problem. You just have to trim the lengths and sizes of pics and stuff a little, no problem.

Just PM me if you are interested and I'll send details!

Actually, this was not as much work as I thought it would be.




Yes, I go this. Thanks.














You are welcome. This was entirely self-serving. I needed a breakdown by women , men, boys and girls as I am not doing cabin gifts this time but individual gifts. I very quickly realised that I fo not have enough gifts for the women so I ordered some more supplies to make more. As I had done the work anyway, I though I might as well share.



Hi Susan



Heather, I am so sorry. I did not mean to step on your toes. If I had known that you were working on something like this, I would have held back.



I won't know this until about two weeks prior to sailing when DCL will confirm rooms, etc for special events.


Corinna

No I appreciate the work and TRUST ME I know how it is. I actually think yours is better when hubby and I were comparing. He might use yours on our graphics ( for some reason hes into the graphics LOL).

 

[threebritts]

I too have trouble keeping up with Facebook.



Eek that's me .... Poohluv2u - 2136



We are only listed in eight so that group one can keep at 25 people .. never fear, we will still pass out goodies to those on that list, even if we aren't included in the group



The reason we put her in 8 out of 9 is because the one groups is already at 30 . I know in the begining many wanted 25-30 and actually closer to 25 so I was afraid of creating a riot by adding one. To me its not a biggee but I know some people have luggage issues,ordering 25 of something so thats why I didnt do it but if no one cares I will. Actually I will just add her and leave us out of that one if its a problem for someone, no worries!
It was hubbys mother board that crashed so thats 300 bucks we werent expecting and im not sure where he put form so Ill have him add you in am and also wrabitdad has a cabin change of 5624. Thats it for tonight, been up for 36 hours and switch back to days tomorrow so im off to lala land.
Good news is looks like my corporation is sponsoring me for the Cystic fibrosis walk in santa barbara april 28th so that is nice but im still doing fundraisers!

 

[chip&dale&fun]

Val and Bob - Thank you so much. I just asked DH if he wanted to see his shirt and showed him the picture of the ones in the boxes.

Ok, I showed him the one modeled with such a great view. We cannot wait until it arrives.

Linda -- thanks also for the scrapbook update. I guess I did not realize the size.....I think the ones you did for PC were 8x8..could that have been right? Must go look, either way I am fine. I also like 8.5 x 11. Cutting the pages gives me borders for adjacent pages, more pages that way...FUN....

So who is going to talk me out of getting a pink shirt? I am the one with very little pink in my closet who finally found I had one, but then, I just saw this T-shirt on-line????? And it is my first Champagne girls, so the question is do I want to be cute or pretty.....that's the only clue you get.

Aloha ahiahi = Good Evening.
