Bound for Barcelona - April 10, 2010 EB TA - Part 4

[disdel]

ONE MONTH FROM TODAY, we will be in EPCOT enjoying the festivities

So, will that be Fri., April 9? We expect to be in EPCOT as well that day. Any others for a mini-meet? We did that in Oct. '08 for ILLUMINATIONS, but it could be for a photo-op (Flower show in full bloom), wine flights at Germany, an Off Kilter show, whatever. Maybe an Illuminations cruise leaving from the Yacht Club? Any interest?

Respect to everyone and their beliefs, but Cinderella and I invite you to change the subject.

Ummmm, I just opened my 3rd roll of xyron magnet roll....I think I am going to need to book more staterooms for all of my magnets!

and....

32 Days from right now we will either be eating dinner or watching "Let the Magic Begin" on our way to Castaway Cay!!!!!!!

Let the fun begin!!!

I don't know if this has been posted already (I don't get to check the computer that often), but is anyone else on the US airways flight out of Philly at 7:55am on the morning of the cruise?

I believe the majority of us flying out of Philly are leaving the night before. You never know about delays especially with the winter weather we have had thus far. Even though today the high was 60+ degrees this is just a tease with rainy and cold temperatures returning tomorrow night.

WOOO WHOOO! Stephanie, I plan on trying to get you a run for your money on the door magnet awards, but I have a feeling I am seriously out gunned (so to speak). Are you huge into crafting when you aren't making Disney Magnets?

 

[linac]

Hey there Martin,

Were just north of you guys (Stouffville)......but we haven't got any paper work yet.

Hi Alex:

Hopefully yours will arrive soon! Did you book your flight through DCL or outside DCL? We booked through DCL and flying with Air Canada.

Question for the group (and sorry if this has been raised before): who will be the CD for this cruise? We had Rachel last time on the EBTA and found her to be an excellent CD and quite personable. Thanks.

Competition! Now I won't look like the only nut on board! LOL

I am crafty but I tend to like to do more on the computer vs traditional "crafty" things.

I am so excited we are having a door decorating contest, I can't wait to see everyone's doors!!!!!!

We too LOVED Rachel last time on the EBTA too! First we thought it was Brent but someone who was onboard a few weeks ago said that Peter said he would be out CD....sigh. He is no where close to Rachel.

I do however think that Clayton will be our assistant CD!

I will be making my very first visit to the Magic Kingdom on Friday the 9th. Oh yeah!

and in 27.5 days, we'll get to Orlando to get a
small dose of the magic at WDW.​

and, fwiw, our docs came yesterday, USPS. Love the binding version. Does anyone know if that's the new standard, or was it just for the TA? The Tyvek envelope it came in was printed "SPECIAL Cruise Documents". I know ALL Disney cruises are special, but that struck me. Also, loved that the front cover is marked CASTAWAY CLUB. Any first-time cruisers that can tell us what the front cover of their docs are labeled?

Next would be in a pre-punched page that fits into our Passporter guidebook!

Did someone say that we could request additional luggage tags? I'll be fine, but DW plans on a spree before boarding that will probably increase our luggage count before boarding

Thanks for your reply Brooklyn. Martin

 

[kcashner]

The spiral bound documents are the standard now, not just for the TA.

PLEASE let the CD be Brent, PLEASE?!?!?! ANYONE but Peter who is a (insert word here, most of the ones I'd choose would be bleeped by the censor). Sorry, I've been thru a lot of CDs....Jacqui, Cara, Rachel, Christiaan, Brent, Jim, as well as some assistants as acting CDs. Peter is the absolute worst! When we sailed in December, Brent thought he'd be doing the TA, but things do change.

Oh yeah...got my docs today! Nothing exciting, but they are here.

Hey gang...just read thru the previous several pages. Um....it's starting to get a bit ugly. I don't like smoke at all, but we're all "in the same boat" literally. No matter how you feel about certain things, you're not going to change someone else. Maybe we can agree to keep the boards friendly.

Yup, sounds like a good plan. We don't drive into the port until early the next morning so a mini-meet up at the park sounds fabulous. Like Stephanie said, let the party begin.

You bet,! This has been a looong winter here in the northeast

We won't drive to the port until Sat AM as well - staying just outside Downtown Disney on 535, unless a CM buddy gets us a REAL deal on-property, but last time she checked, it was crazy prices , it being Easter week.

No cruise docs today either. But my hubby's pirate hat arrived.

We are 1st timers and the front of our doc book looks like you are looking through a porthole at the Magic with fireworks above the boat Also has Disney Cruise Line in Gold at top,

I'm jealous too it makes me wish I could fly in on Thursday instead of Friday...I can't because of work but I'll be driving to Sacramento on Thursday night so that will be the start of my vacation

 

[auntlynne]

I will be making my very first visit to the Magic Kingdom on Friday the 9th. Oh yeah!

Wishes fireworks at 10 PM - Extra Magic Hours until 2 AM - are you going to stay up all night at the Magic Kingdom and then try to catch up on sleep on the cruise?

Yes we will be there - and it will be hubby's birthday! Tell us when and where - would love to meet up!

Shhhh, don't tell Krisann!

OK - is that not from WAY back on thread one I really am glad there will be lots of us that will be there! It makes it more exciting! Those of us who will be at epcot should tell something we will have on that will be a sign! Don't know what - but something - it would be fun to see if we see each other at the park just by chance!

Ummmm, I just opened my 3rd roll of xyron magnet roll....I think I am going to need to book more staterooms for all of my magnets!

and....

isn't my cabin near yours You are welcome to keep working down the hall - all donations of magnets would be gladly accepted!
