Bringing The Magic Home - 8/20/05

[mark & sandra]

Although we don't have a permanent home yet, I thought we could at least have a place to stop by and say hello to each other...Mark

Winotracy has started a bi-monthly newsletter to keep everyone up on excursions, DisMeets, arrangments for hotels, busses to and from the ports etc. If you want to join this Email list (As I say twice a month so you're not going to get innundated with junk) Join the official list by PMing Jazzman to be put on his list (see below) and introduce yourselves on the thread. Just a quick hi etc. Then PM Winotracy and she will add you to the newsletter list.


We have a thread with some info about our cruise. If you'd like to read it: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=560179

-The Original List of Cruisers was written in HTML. Since the DIS found it a security risk to use html the tables we used to make the list were no longer compatible with the DIS, soooooooooooooooo we have (Actually Jazzman did all the work) placed the list at http://home.att.net/~pete-williams/SOF.html .
Click on the link and it will give you a list of DIS cruisers, ages, cabins and dining info.

- The latest "Fools" thing is Dream's Unlimited is sponsoring a wine tasting afternoon, onboard the Magic during the cruise!!!! Each couple is asked to bring a bottle of wine, Preferably a local wine from your area of residence, but if not don't worry, and we will be "tasting" other's contributions while nibbling on the snacks supplied by Dream's Unlimited. To register for this P.M. Winotracy on the DIS and she will fill you in!!!!!

- Piglet33 is graciously producing name tags with "Ship of Fools" to go on your lanyard. PM her and she will make one for members of your group. They are laminated and sure to be a hit!!!


-Custom lanyards for the "Ship of Fools" have been ordered. Marsha ordered a few extra, they will be available from her on the ship for $5.00 each. If you would like to reserve one or more of the extras, they will be on a first asked for, first spoken for basis until there are no more. PM mickeyfan1.


Tentative Dis Meet- Sunday
8/21/05
10:00-11:00 am
Rockin' Bar D or Studio C (to be determined)

Bartender service available if desired
Max. capacity is either 275 or 292 depending on location

Unofficial head count is needed to secure room:


**Due to DCL's inability to approve the use of a room for our meet we may need to resort to Plan 'B'. The date and time will remain the same, only the location will change. If we are unable to secure a room we will hold our DisMeet up on Deck 9 by the Goofy Pool. We won't be limited by the number of guests we can have, and there won't be any ending time either. Free food is available from Pluto's Dog House and Pinocchio's Pizzeria, as well as the usual Bar service near the pool.**

Just checking in to say "Hello"

Today's passage through the canal was awesome!!

Can't wait to experience it with all of you in just 3 months!!

 

[mark & sandra]

Well it's nice to see some of you here again. I hope all the problems the "Practice Cruisers" had are fixed by the time we cruise. Did it seem like the ship was empty when it went through the locks? I didn't see anyone up on Deck 9 or 10...Mark

You have to look at the second movie that Lisa & her husband Allan made for the May Repo cruisers -- and the rest of the board. Loved Mickey waving to us

Can't believe in under 3 mos we will be at DL/DCA

 

[DisneyPata]

Great day to be glued to the computer. Now my kids want to go on Aug Repo with me instead of their July Mexico Cruise.
I would like to go on all the cruises.
Getting Ready for AUGUST.

Welcome copper0426! Glad to have you with our SOFs! Send winotracy a pm and she will get you on her newletter list. It's a wonderful resource. She's leaving for her California trip to meet up with the Magic soon, so if you don't hear from her right away, she's on vacation! She will for sure add you as soon as she is able!

Again, hello and welcome!

 

[BetsyAnn]

Hello again! Can we say 90 days! How much fun it has been watching the first cruise go from docks to Panama Canal - can't wait to do it on the return trip with all of you!

 

[mark & sandra]

For those who were told that the Chileno bay Snorkle trip was sold out, it isn't!! I just was able to book it at 1PM today...Mark

 

["Ginger"]

We are getting very excited here. A local radio station has been broadcasting live from the Magic all week (WLIF).
can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[UMTerp]

Mark - Thank you so much for the head's up about Chileno Bay! When I called this morning I couldn't get it but just called back and was able to switch! Thanks - this is the one my kids really wanted to do!
