Just had a great meal Parrot Cay. FIL is off to bed. What's up with you old folks??? Any of you plan on staying up during our cruise or do we have to schedule all events for the morning?? Sandy's also calling it a night and the kids are in the club. I'm typing and watching the game in Promenade lounge. NY is playing like crap and all these folks are happy, darn southerners!!

Hey Sisters, Do you really really think it is really Sandra fault??? typical man to blame on a wife!! I think it is really Mark's and that HE forgot HIS luggage with CLOTHES and therefore had to go to walmart and this is what he has to wear thoughout the cruise!!!!

Have a great time Mark and Let Sandra have her fun too!!

What I wouldn't do for a bowl of orange mango soup right now, as I'm sitting here watching the Jets and Steelers duke it out in overtime.

 

[DenverVal]

Oh, have an extra bowl for me, I love the mango soup!!

How do I join in on the chat?

 

[kpgclark]

Don't forget Monday is the last day to sign up for the cruise gift exchange. You can start shopping! Names will go out on Tuesday probably so be on the lookout for PMs.

Gleaned this from the May Cruise thread:

Interesting tidbit - DH called DCL last week regarding tux rental and the CM he spoke to said that there was going to be a "big surprise" on this cruise - said lots of bigwigs and media would be present for it. It's had me SO curious....another ship maybe? New iteneraries? What could it be? I almost wish she hadn't said anything, but it will give me something else to be excited about now.

My guess? At least one new ship. If not two.

Honestly I don't think so but we can always wish

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

My guess would be that there will be something very special the morning the Magic comes into Los Angeles port, for the first time, a Parade? Etc. Likely to be very enjoyable, but also, a good PR Publicity stunt for Disneyland's 50th. Many VIPs could join here or in Cabo or Acapulco?

My husband and I went on our first real date since Addison was born yesterday--and I bumped into a guy that golfs at the golf course I was Food and Bev. manager at for 3 years. Anyway--after telling him I had moved to Harmony (which is closer to Orlando)--he brought up his son who lives in Orlando. Anyway--his son has been a CM for Disney since he was 18 (parking lot attendant). He is now 25 and after doing some time as a lifeguard at Castaway Cay--he is now helping to build/design a swimming lagoon there where you can swim w/ sting rays, etc . He said it was just in the beginning stages of planning, hiring, etc. but at least we know Disney has probably even more plans for that Island!!
Thought I'd be the first to tell you!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

Cool!!! Thanks for the tip!!!

 

[winotracy]

Had fun chatting with everyone last night. Arlene and I closed down the chat room at 12:10 EST!!! Looking forward to Tuesday, though it will be American Idol Premiere that night.

I had fun the short time I was on last night, I just had a hard time keeping up with everyone!!! I think I need to read faster, think quicker, and get my typing skills down better!!! All in all, it was fun!!!

Excellent news! I do believe that DCL listens to the passengers suggestions. It may take them a while and it probably depends on how many are suggesting the same thing, but eventually the unseens do get the wheels in motion.

As far as the surprise for the May people, I am sure it's gonna be a big welcome to the west coast hoop la, lots of Disney Big Wigs, etc. We can only hope for a huge send off in LA and then a welcome home in Florida, but that probably won't be happening. The FL part.
