We got the call from DCL that the excursion was changed to 9:15 also....and now we have to try and change our Aulani excursion that was 2:45 so now we will have to try and change it to 4:00....does anyone remember the number to call for the vacation club excursion? We will also now miss dinner if we get to change the time.....wish they just left it alone.
Thanks all....

I am on the 8:00 AM Arizona and City Tour for adults only. Are you also on the adults only one? I did not receive a call. I wonder what is going on.

 

[mishoe01]

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,

Charlotte - did they say when you'll be back now? We're getting picked up at the Ala Moana Hotel at 415pm.

 

[mishoe01]

Val - the shirts/pictures look fantastic! Thanks again for doing this!

 

[gdaneowner]

For those ordering Boy's tux are you renting or buying? And from where?

I bought mine.. I think it was from Tinytux.com... They were pretty reasonable, I think cheaper than what you can rent them for. Only thing is they don't come with shoes.

 

[gdaneowner]

Yes it costs to play Bingo and it's pretty steep. They have paper sheets and electronic sets. I have done both and it adds up quickly however it's a lot of fun. Perhaps someone can tell you more exact prices. Yes to cash prices. Also some giveaways when they "spin the wheel" so to speak.

Thanks for the info.. I know that my Mom and my Aunt can spend upwards of round $40-50 playing here locally for a night!

 

[LittleDisneyLovers]

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.

Or, if you didn't sign up before, but would like to now, you can do that too!

I will close this sign-up next Friday, March 16th so that I can set up the final #s with the luau as well as the bus company.

Thanks!

Hi Stephanie, I just need to talk to the people who are travelling with us (LDL friends) and I will get back to you in the next couple of days. Thanks for doing this!

I promised ladies I'll not post anymore pictures of earrings, because then they will want more of them LOL....but here are last three pair I bought, together with Mickey Crossbones

Love them!!!

Corinna - You are an absolute GEM doing all the FE lists!!!
And of course, Thank-you Heather for organising aswell.

Val the shirts look fabulous! Great job!!

GETTING EXCITED! 50 DAYS TO GO!!!

 

[MJGirl]

Aw....does this help.

Thanks to you and everyone for the hugs ... It's going to be a rough day, but we got through her birthday and Christmas, Easter and Mother's Day are going to be hard. I always meant to bring her with me on a cruise, but she always had a reason not to go. I'll be collecting those hugs in Ensenada!

 

[MrsMork]

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!!

Sunday so not so much traffic. 45 min, but not more than an hour at most. I'm not a recent LA cruiser, but 10 or 10:30 is what has been reported.

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.

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.

I am on the 8:00 AM Arizona and City Tour for adults only. Are you also on the adults only one? I did not receive a call. I wonder what is going on.

We are on the adult only tour also and no phone call here, yet.....

 

[MJGirl]

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 pictures are great Val ... Do they fit small or big?

 

[BoosGram]

I found out in time so she's holding mine too. I got the DCL emblems, but a single not a double. I got the blue hibiscus Mickey ones and another pair of pink Mickey flower ones with three rows of beads on the bottom. I'm waiting to see what the Mickey's Champagne Girls one looks like. That's a total of four that I'm buying.

I have also ordered from Hokey Donut. I, also, bought the pink hibiscus to wear for the PCG's and the blue Mickey head with white flowers to wear with our shirts! Looks like alot of us will have on the same jewerly.

We obviously all have very good taste!

OMG, Val, those look fantastic! And I can't believe all the work you two have put into this. Thank you again so much.

 

[gydell]

DCL site has gone crazy tonight! I am trying to look at my excursions I have booked for this cruise and it keeps showing me ones that I have booked for my summer cruise on the Fantasy.

 

[valbob89]

The pictures are great Val ... Do they fit small or big?

I would say they run large. PM me if this might be an issue for you. I only have a few extra shirts but I can tell you what I have and the measurements for them.

I took the measurements of all 6 shirts and give it to the Hawaii October group. I know we would have appreciated having it when we were first ordering. I had posted the measurements here, with my first posting today but then took it off. I only have a few extra shirts and my remaining sanity couldn't take multiple people asking to change their shirt size now, hope you all understand.

Val

 

[EllaEnchanted]

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.

My thoughts are that you buy something new since it''s your first Champagne Girls tasting. Just my opinion.

MJ, I was where you were once....on the WBPC '08. We were at CC on Mother's Day and I had just lost my mom that year. So we did a memorial service with a few people who had lost their moms and we took pictures of our moms and flowers onto the secret deck on 7 and read poetry and told our favorite stories. It was beautiful. We only took a half hour out of our day, first thing in the morning. It was a special tribute and it really helped me get through that day. Just an idea if you think you might like to do something like this. I'll do it with you. And you can collect hugs all day too.

 

[poohluv2u]

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!

Heather, I don't think it's a problem for anyone, they were probably just curious why I didn't sign up with all groups. Please don't remove yourselves, as that is totally not necessary

I have taken us off the list. We decided to go with the Disney luau.
