Colorado Cruisers

[cristit14]

Theresa--I was thinking that is where it was. I think I saw it on my way to Park Meadows once.
I agree we definately need some warmer weather. Brr...

Teresa - ya unfortuntately you missed my year round tan. Hopefully next meet I can show it off if the weather ever warms up and STOPS snowing!!!! I don't even remember why I got that tag anymore!!!

Yay, can I have my birthday donut with sprinkles!!!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Heidi, you got that tag because you had a full year of cruises and Mexico and was tan for a solid year.

DCLcruiser, have a wonderful cruise and will talk to you soon.

Cristi, it would be great to meet you next time. Del Taco is one of our favorite fast foods...better than Taco Bell at least! Will we ever have warm weather again??

I'm glad you guys had a great time! I would love to meet some Colo DISers. It seems like I never meet anyone from here on cruises. This year Lisa (constanze) is on our sailing (Sept 17th eastern) so I will look forward to meeting her. I know what you (Jimmy?) mean about Costa Maya. We, too, were divereted there and it was soooooo hot. We got off and before we were off the dock my DH said, "We are no longer here for me, anytime you want to turn around is okay with me!" I just pretended it was an excursion to a different planet.....THE SUN!!!!!!! We are off to Las Vegas tomorrow. Can't say I will miss this weather! YUCK! Have a great one!

Have fun in Las Vegas, Jen. At least you will get away from this cold and snow! You and Lisa will have fun knowing someone on the ship. We have met some wonderful friends on this board that we now travel with. We link our dinner reservations on the ship. We have sailed with them 3 times and went to WDW together one Christmas. In that group, we have young and old, singles and familes. We correspond once (or more sometimes) a day on the board since Feb of 2002.

Have fun in Vegas Jen!!

I am SO over this weather. Something wrong about having to wear my winter coat the end of April 6 days from now, we'll be in warm, sunny weather

 

[cristit14]

Okay, so what's up with this weather. I want to be outside, not stuck in the house.

Have fun in Vegas Jen!
Tera, have a great time on your cruise!!!!! I am so jealous.

 

[Tera]

Thanks Cristi! I can't wait to see the sun

What is UP with this weather? It's so darn depressing

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Thank god the weekend is over. My family spent the entire weekend painting my new house. I don't think I am destined to be a painter.

Teresa - are you excited yet, only a few more days left and you will be on the big beautiful ship!!! Eat lots for me!!!

Jen - Have fun to vegas...bring back some of the warm weather for the rest of us.

When I first started this thread, it was to inform all of you about US Toys & what you could find there. Now I need reciprocity (big word, huh? ). I'm still trying to find a few things for our cruise next month and if any of you have any sources to share, I'd appreciate it.

Still trying to find: light up necklaces/bracelets like they sell after dark in the parks, magnetic paper for door signs (found it at Office Max for $12 for 5 sheets hoping for cheaper), over door shoe holder and, finally, TSA approved locking luggage straps.

I found Sun Guard by RIT at the Sprawl Mart near Arapahoe Road and Havana for $2.50. They also had the shoe holders for about $6, but I was hoping to find the dollar store version. Any good dollar stores that I should check?

Thanks in advance to the smartest DISers on the entire board!

Glow necklaces - Dollar Tree
Magnet sheets - Walmart
Shoe Holder - Walmart or Dollar Tree
Luggage straps - not a clue!!!!

There is a dollar tree right across the street from Southwest Plaza at Bowles and Cross (next to Joanne's). Not sure where there is any up in Highlands Ranch.

Also try looking for magnet sheets at Big Lots off of Mineral and Broadway....sometimes they have them and iron on transfer sheets.

 

[Jrsy Boy]

Looks like that Dollar Tree is the closest one to us. We tried the Dollar Barn near Bowles & Platte Canyon over the weekend, but only found rain ponchos. It was worth the stop, though, because DS8 got a mood ring which he hasn't been able to put down (except to have somebody else try it on to check their mood).

I will check Big Lots, too, since we have one near us at Broadway and Hampden.

Wal-Mart will be my last resort since I was just at that huge one at Arapahoe & Havana. Forgot to look for the magnet paper and the luggage locks while we were there.

 

[Tera]

Heidi - I'm so stinkin' excited, I can hardly sleep at night. I promise to eat as much as I can for you

Jrsy Boy - I ordered glow sticks off Ebay since we use them throughout the year for the kids.

I hate this weather

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Hi everyone,

Will we ever see sun?? It was darn cold over the weekend.

Gosh, I don't have anything to say....Heidi told JrsyBoy where to find everything.

And.....I am mad at Teresa. She leaves for the ship and I want to go NOW!!!!

 

[Jrsy Boy]

I am mad at Teresa. She leaves for the ship and I want to go NOW!!!!

Ladies, if we can't be nice and get along and be happy for each other, I will turn this thread right around and we will go home!

 

[Tera]

Sandy - You know you love me Maybe I'll run into DCLcruiser, but from what he said about his shift hours, I'm doubting it

Jrsy Boy *pointing at jiminyC* SHE started it

 

[Blackunicorn]

I think a weekend one is a good idea too since most people can't get to that location at that time. I say we hold out for some warmer weather though

You guys are so silly! This is Colorado! Who knows what weather tomorrow will bring?

I guess before I started clammering for a weekend meet, I should have mentioned that I work weekends, so it would also depend on my shift. But the good news is that I work at the Disney Store in Park Meadows, so if you did have a weekend meet, I'd already be in Denver! Okay, so that's only good news for me.

 

[constanze]

I'm so glad you guys had so much fun at Del Taco, although I'm jealous! Hopefully I'll be able to make the next one.

Jen, are you back from Vegas?

Lisa.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Blackunicorn - How long have you worked for the Disney store? I am sure my mom and I would have seen you atleast once, we always have to stop by the Disney store and check out the new merchandise!! I use to work at the Gateway Academy right there off of Yosemite, so my boss and I would go to Park Meadows A lot on our lunch (and we couldn't forget to pick up a snickerdoodle at Mrs. Fields!!!)

 

[jiminyC_fan]

BlackUnicorn, I worked for the Disney Store at SW Plaza as Holiday help one year. It was my spending money for our first cruise. That is some drive for you! Our Springs Diser friends are home now from Oregon so will have to tell her to pop in here. They are quite preoccupied at the moment however because they just became first time grandparents on Friday. We are always in Monument every weekend camping so summertime might be hard for us to participate in a meet except for a Sunday afternoon.

Lisa, you don't have to be jealous. Just make sure you make it this month. Maybe the one I am mad(Teresa) at will give everyone more time to plan.

I can't believe that I got in trouble for what Teresa is doing. She's the bad one!! If she wasn't going on this trip then I wouldn't be mad at her. It is all HER fault. But....I will be the bigger person and apologize for my actions yesterday.

Anybody have ideas what I could do for a fellow DISer that is celebrating her 50th birthday onboard the Panama Canal cruise with us? I know about DCL's cake but I would like to add to the celebration but still be able to bring clothes in my suitcases. Help!
