Colorado Cruisers

[Jrsy Boy]

For anyone near Highlands Ranch, I recommend a visit to U.S. Toy & Constructive Playthings at County Line Road and Quebec Street. They have a ton of Pirate goodies (all the way in the far back corner of the store) and "beach containers," those plastic, waterproof carriers for you KTTW card, cash, smokes & ID that you can wear around your neck for less than a buck!

 

[Grandma Debby]

I've been looking for pirate stuff so thanks for the lead - U.S. Toys & Constructive Playthings also has a catalog if you aren't by a store

 

[fljelad]

Cool! Thanks for the heads up! We're in Littleton (far west) so that's just a very short jaunt for us. I'll be making a journey over there soon. Our cruise is at the end of May!

 

[Timmbco]

how funny...my boys are at their baseball game right now at the school right behind that store!! Thanks for the info. I just bought pirate eye patches at Party America on W Bowles-.49 cents.

Wish we there there so bad. Left Highlands Ranch in January to come to St. Louis to keep a job. Wish we had stayed! I need to get some pirate stuff for our cruise coming up!

So hello to everyone in Colorado!

Thanks for the heads up! I am over in Littleton so I may have to try to get over there this week.

Jrsy Boy - Thanks for the info. We're a hop, skip and a jump from there and leaving in 18 days for our 7 day western Definitely will be hitting there this week.


Sharon - That is too funny. We actually lived in O'Fallon for 7 years before moving here 7 years ago. We lived in Aspen Pointe Subdivision off of Mexico Rd.

O.K..... while we are on the subject of irony... I have a friend.... that I met on a cruise ship... who lives in Highlands Ranch. I was also born and raised in St. Peters, Mo.... just a few miles down Mexico road from O'fallon. The subdivision I grew up in was Country Estates... which is just off Mexico road. Is anybody else freaked out yet???
I live in Illinois now but still have family in the area. I am sure my friend in Highlands Ranch will be glad to get this info as she is an even bigger obsessive, compulsive planner than I am. We will be on the Magic together in September.
Happy cruising!!!

Trisha - That is way weird

 

[DCLcruiser]

Ok, ok, you all are asking for someone from Highlands Ranch and here I am....guess I will have to swing by the good old US Const. before I leave. I still remember when Hobby Lobby was a Wal-Mart

 

[Blackunicorn]

Big bummer--I won't be back in that area until next weekend!

Oh, well, I guess I have time before the cruise. (September 2006)

 

[ColoradoBelle1]

I'm not cruising and I don't need pirate stuff, unless the store carries Johnny Depp lookalikes for sale . HA!

I am from Colorado though, and headed to my new home away from home at BoardWalk Villas in May.

Didn't realize there were that many of us ColoradoDsineyholics on the Disboard.

 

[hightown]

Tera and Trisha, Way weird...We're in Turtle Creek, right off Mexico.

We miss Colorado and Highlands Ranch terribily. We lived just west of Quebec off of Colliagate. Am hoping to win the lotto and move us all back.

Have some good Mexican food for us cause there is none out here--at least not what we're used to.

Hmmm, maybe we'll have to make that long, hour trek down to Denver to check it out .....my parents have been wondering why we haven't visited lately, anyways!

Anyone know if they have a web address???

 

[Jrsy Boy]

So hello to everyone in Colorado!

Everyone? That may take a while, but I'll get started today. At least there are a few on this board who I can skip because they've already seen your message.

Got my Alien Green Mickey Heads at Home Depot in Littleton (at Belleview and Federal) on Saturday night.

 

[Jrsy Boy]

Anyone know if they have a web address???

There are two, actually:
Constructive Playthings www.constplay.com
U.S. Toy www.ustoy.com

The pirate stuff is all on the U.S. Toy site. Just do a search for "pirate"

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

I didn't realize US Costruct Toys was still off Quebec, good to know (and while I am out there I can stop by Del Taco!!!) Thanks.

 

[jennat]

I must be the obsesive complusive planner that Trisha was talking about . Another one from Highlands Ranch. I can't believe how many of us there are. I NEVER meet anyone from Colo on my cruises!

 

[Tera]

Heidi - Yes it's still opened, but it was closed for awhile after the big snowstorm in 2003

I am surprised by the amount of Coloradians here also

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Heidi - Yes it's still opened, but it was closed for awhile after the big snowstorm in 2003

Oh Okay, thats definitely the last time I tried to go there. Yay now I am excited, maybe they will have small rubber ducks that I am looking for, for my sister's baby shower (also lives in Highlands Ranch!!).

I took a cruise last October with someone from CO from the DIS, we never got the chance to meet up though.
