August 16, 2011, Disney Dream - Part 4

[renda460]

I just have learned when I am getting a map, get a 2nd one for him. He likes to know what is coming. I got excited when I told him I had gotten the link with the deck plans on it and would give it to him to look up on his computer.

Did you have the link that lets you print 5 deck plans per page on pdf? I am having trouble printing them. I had printed them once a few days ago, but now when I click to bring up the pdf to print it doesnt come up.

On a side note, this site also has a very cool area that lets you drag the decks on top of each other. You can see through to see what is on top of/underneath each other.


Edit: Looks like it works with IE, but not with Firefox.

Thank you Jen here too, I went to the website for the info about the meet, also I believe we are meeting in the port ... I hope is easy to spot ech other, we are going to be using our lanyards!

Evening Everyone!

Well, DD has finished her dance audition tonight and feels good about how she did so that is the best we can hope for. Now we just have to wait until after the cruise to figure out if she made the competition line or not.

Feeling super frustrated tonight though because our STUPID VAN (I need a little dude hitting a van to put in here). It is NOT starting again - I do not need a repair bill right before vacation. The thing is, it is doing the same exact thing it did when the fuel pump went out about a month ago. We had that repaired and we will be calling them back tomorrow. Still, we are going to have to have it towed to the shop again tomorrow to have them look at it. I do not have the time for this right now and I really do not want to pay for this right now.

I now need to focus on happy Disney thoughts because that will put me in a better place!

You guys are welcome! I think those wonderful green lanyards will really help out with meeting up. I know on our last cruise that is how we would run into people to meet up with almost every day...seeing the lanyards make you know that it is another DIS friend!

Well, we are heading out bright and early tomorrow morning! As ready as we will ever be!!

See you all on the cruise!

Enjoy your trip! See you really soon!

Some more comments live from the Dream...

Computers - bring your own, or borrow a laptop from guest services...no more using ship computers...though response time is noticeably better...

Tall people...like me...a big negative to the seats in the theater...they have a ridge to support the seats in front cutting off leg room...and they slope down, so your full drinks will spill if they are in the cupholders...also, the showers are a bit tougher and the seats, except booths, at evolution are awful for tall people...

Palo - brunch was still very good and we have dinner there tomorrow...

Our wait staff has been excellent in main dining rotation

Mini-Golf is cute and fun...

Shutters - huge improvement here....they assign you a binder and you can check back for all your photos...they even use recognition software for beach shots and the like where they do not swipe your card....no more massive crowds trying to stare at the same pictures...

Women - nice cruise only Dooney / Bourke purses....yes Lisa already bought one....

Pirate night...place to view fireworks is deck 12 starboard...if you insist on being on deck 11, you will have a great view of the stage, which you can see just as well from deck 12, but you will also have a great view of the Aquaduck in front of those fireworks...

Fe's are now SE's if you are starboard...if you are port side you have a fish...if you are starboard, you have a seahorse...and if you are concierge, think the movie Titanic, b/c you have a locked gate blocking access to your rooms, but alas, that also means no FE/SE for you b/c no one can get there to deliver...

Pirate night show after fireworks was ok, but not spectacular..earlier show was rained out and held indoors so i cannot comment.

Ohh Jen, I am soo sorry to hear about the van!! What a bummer!!

Totally a bummer. We went out to the van to go to the dance studio and tried to start it....it makes a sound but just will not start. It is the exact same thing that happened with the fuel pump so we are hoping that there is something wrong that they will have to pay for.

I am still trying to be in just a happy "Disney" mood though and enjoy the fact that I am packing my suitcases and getting ready for a wonderful trip!

 

[Woobie]

See you all on the cruise!

See you at the airport, Karen. DH came home and added laundry, so I'm doing yet another load. He has yet to pack and it's 10:15. We leave in the morning.

Sons killed me today. Trying to pack them & son 2 didn't have long pants. Off to the mall. Back to packing & same son says he doesn't have polo shirts. BACK to the mall (this after son 1 says he had no bathing suits yesterday).

Sorry about the van, Jen. Thanks from me, too for the website. Thanks to Jeannie for the lanyards. Can't wait to see them all on everyone on the Dream!!!

Good Luck packing...How's the weather been in Florida?? The tropics are looking VERY ACTIVE!!

 

[elgerber]

Jen, I hope the van is an easy cheap fix!

Safe travels to all who are already there, on their way or leaving soon!

Kristin, can you kindly keep your hurricanes to yourself?

Have I mentioned I hate packing? 3 of us are totally ready for suitcases but a certain hubby didn't want to do that yet...

The latest tropical wave leaving Africa seems most likely to become "something", but that's quite a ways off...

I feel your pain! That is about where we are... except we fortunately aren't leaving until Friday!

Totally a bummer. We went out to the van to go to the dance studio and tried to start it....it makes a sound but just will not start.

Sadly, our second car is still sitting in the garage waiting to be jumped--hopefully all it needs is a charge and not a repair. That will be a post-cruise project.

Oh-- anyone know what the current Silver CC gift is? I remember seeing a picture on the boards somewhere, but I am really bad at using the search feature. If anyone could point me in that direction... that would be great! TIA!

You will receive one bag, two rice krispie treats, 2 waterbottles and 1 key chain and your silver lanyards.

I haven't seen anything posted that suggest this has changed recently, but I could be wrong.

Thanks! Sounds like we can take the water bottles out of the "to pack" pile.

 

[lauriegs]

great day today, between my cut/color, pedicure, picking up the rental car and getting alot of packing done! set to leave tomorrow night around 6 or 7pm..

We weren't around to get the lanyards, but it sounds like I should keep my eye out for them! (they're green??)
I'll be the one without the lanyard on, staring at yours, trying to muster up the courage to say Hello!


Soooo ready for vacation!

Jen, I feel your pain about the van -that stinks!! Mark's car is making some odd noises, so we'll be leaving it at the mechanics when we leave town.

safe travels to ALL if I'm not online much tomorrow!

 

[hmansure]

Safe travels to those headed out today!
