Calling All 8/19/06 Special Western Cruisers! AKA "The Cruisin' Castaways" Part 2

[Verandah Man]

Can you tell me the website that shows the Magic leaving the pier? I want to email it to my family before we leave. Thanks!
Susan

If you are talking about the site where this pic was taken from, it is: www.twopalms.com

If we leave on time at 5pm, we would be passing this camera between 5:20 and 5:40.


Here is another website link for the Radisson webcam: http://www.opusad.com/radissonwebcam/ The only thing with this cam is, it can be moved by people that are watching it. Everyone has a two minute time frame where they can move the angle of the camera.


Here is yet one more cam (as long as it is working) where the ships can be seen leaving the port channel http://www.ronjonresort.com/WebCam.htm usually between 5:15 and 5:25, as long as the ship leaves at 5:00pm.

One more, this is the port cam http://wx.local6.com/orlpn/sh/wx/popup_frame.cfm?ImageID=8541

Hope these help.


Edited to add: Here are pics I captured last week for the 8-5-06 cruisers from the links posted above, click on this link: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=13868036&postcount=549

Can I come to the Dis Meet? I wanna meet people who are 18 or around my age and that's a prefect place

Sure thing, the meet is open to everyone!!!

In fact, we will be meeting there one week from today, almost at this very moment!!!!!

I'm trying to get stuff together to pack while I'm listening to my Disney CD's. I can't get enough Disney. Here's a toast to everyone's safe arrival.

CYA REAL SOON.

I guess Andrew's flight must have finally taken off, since we haven't heard from him in a while.

Either late Sunday night or Monday morning in the wee hours. We have some late night owls here......and Andy, our early riser.

Just got back from the dive shop. DH got new flippers and a new facemask.

Hi Everyone, here's my contribution towards 11,000. Hmm, can we make it to 15,000 by boarding time?

 

[Verandah Man]

I just asked Angelina if she wanted to join us for the DISmeet at 3pm on Embarkation Day, she said, "Nope." Then I told her there would be other teen girls and boys her age there, then she said, "OK."

 

[Verandah Man]

It's 5pm, that means it's time to sail!!!

Thank you! I want to be sure to send this to my family, especially my brother. He will enjoy watching us leave the port.

And there she goes............

 

[Verandah Man]

This will be "US" next Saturday..............I've already started with the mousebumps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to try to get Angela & Tommy to at least stop by and say "hello". Are any of the girls POTC fans? Angela plans to see it everytime that they show it onboard. Tommy is a big fan of WoW (World of Warcraft) and he'll be suffering from withdrawal while we're away from home. If there are any other teen boys in the same situation, I'm sure that he wouldn't mind sharing his misery with them. lol

Andy- Thanks for posting the pictures of the T-shirts. You did an awesome job! Since I won't be wearing one, y'all will just have to recognize me by my lime green mickey heads on my name tag or lanyard.

Bev - I've been listening to DIS Radio all week. I love the cruise line mix that they do everyday from 8am-9am. It's really helping to put me in the island spirit! And I've uploaded all my Disney music to my iPod so that I can take it with me. Thank goodness that there's no ban on electronic devices on the airlines here! I need my music and podcast fix.

I really need to get back to packing but I can't pull myself away from the boards. I just had to watch the Magic leave port! Now, I've got to get back to work! Leaving in 3 days! Wahoo!

 

[AboutTheMouse]

OKAY OKAY OKAY - What the heck did I say about packing LIGHT!!!!!! DARN IT I HAVE TOO MUCH STUFF PACKED!!!!!!!!!!!

My Plan: 2 bathsuits/2 formal outfits/7 shorts/7 tops/2 capris with shirts to intermingle for dinner/7 days worth of delicates /1 dress shoe/1 sandal/1 sneaker/1 water shoe. SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN RIGHT? So why then am I in my bedroom sneaking MY stuff into my family members luggage? BECAUSE I DID NOT FOLLOW MY PLAN! After all, a girl can't just travel with 1 pr of sandals can she ! And 2 bathsuits & 2 capris pleeeeease, what was I thinking. And what about bathsuit coverups? Not in my original plan! And my cordless smoothie-maker!! That takes up 1/2 bag alone


Shhh.......Please don't tell my two John's that in their suitcases, under their shirts and shorts are ALL MY CLOTHES!!!!



MR

MR, this it tooooo funny. And so totally me. I'll be the one hiding things in the DH's suitcase, cause I also cannot follow my own list.

I'm way too excited to do the things that I must do before we leave (well, thos that aren't cruise related). How do I get my focus back??????

Can't wait to meet you all -

Denise

 

[Verandah Man]

Are any of the girls POTC fans?

Angelina saw POTC 2 with her friend when it first came out, but I'm not sure if she is going to see it again on the ship or not. She said she didn't care for it as much as the original POTC.


I do have a question I'd like to ask as well, I scheduled the BBR for Angelina and I at 2pm on both days at CC. I did this because I know Angelina really wanted to do this, but I'm not sure if my knees can take this ride anymore. If any teen would like to take my place, on either or both days, and go with Angelina let me know. The tickets are already paid for, the only thing that would be needed is a parent signing the form if their teen is under 18.

Andy: 'Fess up. You really work for Disney, don't you? You're a one man welcome wagon & have done so much to get Steve and me excited about our trip. I really appreciate all you've done.
Thanks!

I loved the banana boat rides they are awesome. I did in Myrtle beach in June it was amazing.

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

This will be my last time on board as we leave in the morning from Allentown, PA. Spoke with Mel earlier and she said that security wasn't bad at all.

Where is the 3:00 Dis meet going to be at?
