DCL Confessions

[OMD13]

Ok I'll admit that I love this topic and I never thought I would have anything to contribute till now.....
I thought I would share here because dis boarders would not judge me.
Ok here goes.....this is so difficult!!!!
I'm a 34 years old, male, and enjoy exercising (at this particular time enjoy running about 4 miles a day), shaved head, like to think in fairly good shape, run on the road by our house no gym, 5'6ish, 175lbs, street bike, mustang mach 1, typical male gear head (trying to paint a visual image).
Confession; When I run I enjoy listening to radio Disney
Wow that felt good!!!!
It all started when I had a talk with my son about the old saying "you are what you eat" or in our case-what you listen to. I heard some "distasteful music" and had the talk, what you take in is what you will portray. Sat back and though for a bit after that talk that some of the happiest times in our family lives involved Disney music. So I figured I would let that spoil over in my exercising.
Oh and since I'm spilling, I shed a few tears stepping on the magic for the first time. It was a big accomplishment for our family to be able to get to that point in our lives....

I hope my wife doesn't read this!!!!

Good for you!!! That's awesome!

U are my kinda dude! My honey is a Disney buff too thankfully (and we both were crazy sci find star trek n doc who fans before we met!) But I love love love Disney music. It is a very happy frame of mind. I don't run to it (because the mornings are busy enuf with bonehead people leaving for work driving like idiots in a resident and because I enjoy running with my two four leg wonders (12 pound terrier is a runners dream) and so I need to hear traffic coming and like the birds chirping etc. Stupid shin splints have me backed off to 13 min miles! (Oh well, anything is better than nothing.) However I find that I cannot clean the house without blasting Pandora Disney music!!! That is a must. If its going to be a long day catching up And up and down the stairs with laundry etc, then I will strap on my phone and ear buds so it moves with me.

My honey is funny. When he wants to perk me up, he says "brush and brush and brush my hair".

It is mental motivation I think. Extra kudos when a park song comes on!!!!!! Sometimes its Canada, sometimes its the Pirates ride, sometimes its Tiki Room! That really gets me excited like being there in addition to the soundtrack classics. Additional bursts of energy come from "hakuna matata" (just found a shirt at Walmart with simba and that on it that is my size! Not junior, yay!) And I also bop a bunch to Bear Necessities!

I was quite happy it was playing on the cruise in the background all the time.

Of course, my ringtone is Part of Your World. but that is just obvious!

Oh one more thing. On our 12 hr drives down, it makes for really fun driving music to Orlando! My honey puts on the Pandora for me while I drive and he gets out the laptop and watches whatever movies he wants with headphones and every now n then he chimes in with the song. Happy happy times and a much happier drive!

Great confession muscle dude!

My wife suffered from splints also, I have never experienced them thankfully.We have two boxer's, but running with them is a challenge to say the least! I'm averaging 8:15-8:30 ish miles... your right about the music, it just puts you in a happy place! Thanks for the kind words!

Regarding the shin splints/times, last year best was my two mile track in 19:08. This years was 19:28. This jogging shuffle is annoying me but I got a massage on Thurs and she worked on where the tendon attaches and I have developed these "ridges" and got it worked over fairly good. They have since improved more. I'm also changing days up to include my favorite weight lifting squats and lunges and step box workout videos so that it strengthens the whole system instead of just the lower leg or quad and tendon. I've also improved my hydration before working out first thing in the morning and upped my supplements with magnesium and calcium. I have them 95% kicked right now! Here's hoping I can still run CC 5k in the spring with my Twinkie so we can run it together.

Also good for you for working hard to take your family! I feel that way anytime I step on Disney property (its a tough call as to which makes me gasp more, my "home" the Tower or that endless symbol golf ball. I think prob the Spaceship earth because it opened when we were born, its probably more "Disneyworld" to our fam then Cinderella's castle..)

I too sail in April 2014

My confession:
I disappear way too much to go to the Meridian cigar lounge at night.
My wife asks the servers in the Main Dining rooms for extra Tealeaves brand tea bags to take home.

So there I was just looking over the balcony into the ocean when I got pelted with some grapes! I turned to look up and "wham"! Right in the kisser with, of all things, an iron!
I was steamed.
I took off for the elevators and rode up one floor when I realized I didn't have a murder weapon. Spying an open door, I went into the cabin and took the red pillow off the bed.
Still dazed from taking an iron off the old coconut, I'm not sure I got the right room but I did what I came to do.
On the walk back, I was still carrying the pillow. Not wanting to get caught with the murder weapon, I threw it under a bed of an open cabin...

That is hilarious!!!!

 

[precious2200]

Just to be clear, you aren't staying in 9176 on the Fantasy, right?

My husband would further like to clarify that you only pee in YOUR stateroom, shower, correct? You aren't going into open rooms, peeing in showers and hiding people's red pillows under their beds?

ROTFL!!!!! That is sooooo funny!!!

 

[carissa1970]

I sure was paranoid about that red pillow on our cruise last week...

Me Too!

 

[Paula Sedley-Burke]

Me Too!

We are going in September for a 4 night cruise. Might hide it under the bed. Although I already feel like a freak at the only person to ask the crew not to make amy monkey's from the towels because they freak me out. Lol

 

[DisneyBride1214]

I have nothing to share right now but I am sure I will have something when I go on my first cruise. Is anybody going on the December 15-19 2014 Dream Cruise? I am really trying to find someone. I would love to do the FE Hope to hear from someone soon

Be sure to check out the MEET Thread for your cruise...I bet they have an FE going already.

My DCL confession:

Picture it - DCL 1998. A beautiful young peasant girl boards a magical ship in search of love, dreams and adventure. She finds all three in the form of a handsome crew member who cannot get enough of her company and spends all of his free time with her. On the last night of their cruise together, he takes her to a private CM party on the crew deck where she is welcomed as one of them. They sing, they dance, they swim under the stars knowing when they part ways the next day, they will likely never be able to be together again.

That young peasant girl was me.

And the handsome young man was.... Captain Jack Sparrow!

Found this thread this morning and have read all the pages.

to add my confessions:

I joined in on the FEs on my last trip because on my first trip my DH and I walked the halls looking at all the door decorations and wondered what the FE was. So when I found out I signed up for our second cruise.

On our second cruise, I asked our servers if I could keep our menu for the first night, they said sure. so I took a copy of each of the menus for the 7 night cruise. main menu and the dessert menu.

I slept with the verandah door open to hear the ocean at night. Very peaceful and relaxing, but a DCL no no.

My hubby wears a CPAP breathing machine at night and sometimes the straps come loose and it makes noises. I usually ignore it or gently wake him to tell him to tighten it up. Well one night it was really whistling. I waited and waited for him to wake up and correct it. I must have been in a bad mood because finally I wacked him on the chest and rudely and loudly said "you're leaking!"

He tried adjusting the straps, the face mask, the seals everything. It wouldnt stop whistling. Turns out there was a pretty good wind outside and it was whistling through the room. I felt terrible.....but I still will sleep with that door open, lol

My Husband JUST got a script for a CPAP machine. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to. I will certainly be using the "You're Leaking" line.

My DW is one of the compulsive H2O product hoarders. We have overflowing boxes, bags, etc. of them at home. I've never understood this - perhaps it is preparation for some apocalypse where having nice hair and skin will be critical survival skills?

So, about a year ago I took half of them and gave them to my mother-in-law to use at her 2nd home... and DW never even had a clue they were gone!

I'm not sure I've every laughed this hard, in my life. I MIGHT have peed a little. J/S. That sounds just like something DH would say to me.
Listen, You NEVER know when the apocalypse is coming and what you may need. Maybe you can trade the H2O for Slim Jims or something. YOU NEVER KNOW!!
