I am making my labels and want to address each family properly.

If you are in the MICKEY group, and don't mind sharing this info, can you send me your family name and stateroom? No other info is needed.

Thanks a bunch!

Cheers from the Moran Family!

I've just made reservations for everyone at the White Spot in Richmond for the 15th!

Just to remind everyone, the day-before cruise meet is at:

White Spot
5880 No. 3 Road (No. 3 Road and Ackroyd)
Richmond, BC V6X 2E1

at 5 p.m. on August 15th

and the number of the restaurant is (604) 273-3699

To get there on the SkyTrain, take the Canada Line to the Lansdowne stop. When you come down onto No. 3 Road, look left on No. 3 Road and you should see the sign for White Spot.

 

[mellers]

Thanks, Scothen and Hal001 for the good wishes

I think I have PM'ed all of the regular posters my real name, and my contact information pre-cruise. If I missed you, and you are a regular poster, I'll PM it to you--just drop me a line.

We have reservations at the White Spot for the 15th under my real name for all of the definites and possibles on the pre-cruise meet list. If you are a last minute arrival, come anyway--I'm sure we'll work something out.

During the cruise, the meet is at Diversions at 3 p.m. on the 16th, unless someone has reserved it (I have not), and if someone has reserved it, we'll meet in the Promenade Lounge.

I think we were a "maybe" for the precruise meet but my DH and I have scheduled a dinner tour on a boat for the night before our cruise so we won't be coming to White Spot on the 15th. Have fun!

Not a problem. You weren't added to "The Big List" pre-cruise meet section.

At this point, I have 19 people as going or likely to go (2 are maybes):

Mellers (5 people)
Scothen (1 person)
ALawley (10 people)
Aunursa (1 person)
Mrs. Gumdrop (2 people, maybe)

 

[Dancing Mickey's]

Unsure if we are going to the pre cruise as we might go up to whistler.

I was looking over the FE list and just wanted to add that my son who is coming with us...his name is Bryce. I do not want anyone to stress getting him something but just more as an FYI. I am not sure what I am more excited about...having him come home or the cruise

I am off to girls camp in 6 hours but just wanted to post a quick note..

Mellers SOOOO glad to hear the great news...more things to celebrate

Started to pack a little today...suitcases down, some clothes, binoculars, FE's....so much still to do but off to see the trees...bears and mosquitos too

Have a great week everyone and I will check in when I get back.

I am guessing that everyone is getting ready for the cruise, because in the last few days the board has gone kind of quiet. Where is everyone????

 

[pops711]

Well no one has responded to my question. So, I guess I stumped everyone. The answer to the question Smoking Tree Ranch. Smoking Tree Ranch is a place where people can buy vacation homes in a community and and pay HOA dues. The Disney family went there alot. When Disney tried to buy a home there they tried to block thinking he was to "Hollywood" So, Walt designed and built a few in the community and they let him in.

 

[aunursa]

This morning I retrieved our passports from the safe deposit box. I've set aside enough clothes and other items for the trip to fill the larger of our two suitcases to overflowing.

I found this discussion interesting and helpful: How cold is it onboard the Alaskan cruises?

I'm sorry--things have been really busy around here--Mellers Kidlet took her PE midterm and two quizzes last week, and we also had family from out of town. She is also taking her Algebra 2 final tomorrow, and is going to try to take the College Algebra CLEP exam on Friday. I'm sure she'll do great on the final, but the CLEP may be a bit of a stretch--it's still worth a try. We're also trying to finish up a few last-minute FE adds and get packed up.

We're going crazy--we can't wait for the cruise!

 

[siburdue]

So I finished our FE over the weekend. DH made the mickey hanger and I made the bottom part. Hope its not too cheesy, as I just made a really simple one. The only really exciting part is the mickey topper DH made for it

Here is a close up of the cute brass mickey topper
