Is everyone still participating in the Pirate goodies thing? I still see some grey on page 1, although I don't know if its updated completely.

I think we all or most of us got our stuff.

NOW WE'RE TALKING! I was getting worried that all of you were GASP losing interest! Glad to see that's not the case! Where's this pic from?

I first saw it in the enquirer. So I search google and found it!

I updated page 1. Sorry about that. I used Dawn's most recent one.

We are definitely still doing the Pirate Bags. Just need to figure out where and when we will put them together.

Sorry, three older sisters

That explains a lot! They broke you in! Trained you

Heeey.. my cousin just accidentally called me and woke me up (Gr) instead of Universal, where he works..
but luckily it reminded me that he got me tickets while I lived in Florida and because he's the biggest flake ever, a month later, still has them. Haha.
It's okay though, because this now works to my advantage..
Michael and I aren't going to be able to do much of any extras. He lives with his dad (before he heads to college this fall) and his dad has decided to move to New Hampshire and marry the sister that just died in June's... mother-in-law.
Sooo ... thats really weird.. and Michael is definitely low on $$..
Sooo free tickets to Universal for one more day of extra fun = Awesome!

Anyone know of a hotel that has a shuttle to the airport AND Universal??

You will probably have to try some hotel's that Universal own's or are close to the park.

What if you don't want to be moved? I'll only move if the room are connecting and its free. They'll ask you first right? I hope so!

My first Disney Cruise, we booked two adjoing insides and were upgraded to Oceanview adjoining without notification..it was a nice surprise. my guess is that they would move you if adjoing was available and that was your request upon booking.

I liked your idea of Nassau morning. I think that's what you said. I will be around most of that day too.

DBF isn't too excited. Here's how the conversation went:

Kevin: "Baby, I want to take you out for our last night of shacking up. Were do you want to go?"
Kerry: "The Melting Pot"
Kevin:"I didn't mind taking you out for an expensive meal but to pay that much money to cook your food, I don't get it "
Kerry: Okay, then a Japanese Steakhouse, you know the ones that have the guys cook at the table in front of you and do a little a show"
Kevin: "We'll just go to the Melting Pot."



I love Japanese Steakhouses. Apparently I will have to find someone else to go with.

We are going to Teppanyaki in Epcot and we love Bennihanna of Tokyo in our area. We go on special occassions

Now, if they gave us the Walt or Roy suite (for free) that'd be a different story!

 

[mom_of_2_princesses]

What's the new gift? I thought you got lanyards, pins and a beach bag/tote thing

I think all the new goodies inside are new.

 

[purplern]

Lori & Vicki, you've got mail

I have to search through 173 emails but I will find it!



STILL playing catch up!!!!!

I am comfortable enough with my masculinity to admit I have a good understanding of my "feminine side"...

Hmm..I called the hotel we were GOING to stay at.. and it's $45 roundtrip to Universal by Taxi for two people.. I suppose, to get in for free.. that isn't bad.
And if I do it that way maybe my cousin will have the day off and I can convince him to pick us up Or drop us off.
I'm not sure if I trust his driving, though. He's truly a scary individual.

Thanks for the help Bill. I'm going to wait until the tour company opens (at 9) and see what calling them and royally laying into them does. I'd be happy with just $50-75 dollars.. just SOMETHING from them instead of a bullcrap e-mail that doesn't even accurately address the issue.
I'm scary on the phone.
Alltel and Toshiba agents, when they pull up my account.. it automatically says to transfer me to a supervisor..

Patsy-There are plenty of hotels on International drive that are nice, affordable and would have free shuttle or a shuttle much cheaper than that

Here is a Doubletree at the entrance of Universal http://doubletreeorlando.com/ $109 per night plus tax (11% last I stayed in O-town) Free Universal Shuttle and $52 for airport (26 per person). I think you could get a cab for cheaper. Call Mears Transportation and ask. If you back out the $45 bucks (for the shuttle) from the rate it's $64 not sure what the other hotel was charging.

Now I get the secret. Find men with sisters. Are all you young ones listening?

 

[Ker-Bear]

I think Dawn is coordinating, right? It's probably getting to the point if nothing is on order, its too late to get an order in from any pirate place. But maybe there is stuff around because of POC movie. I guess about a week before the cruise I'll need a reminder as to who to bring the goodies to and how many. Every kid listed in the "24" is over 3, right? Some things may be choking hazzards for younger kids.

everyone is over 3 except lunve (I think that's her user name ??? )

 

[purplern]

Lisa I found you mail!


WOW

Still catching up by the way!

Patsy,
Did you say when you wanted to go? After the cruise? how many days?

 

[mom_of_2_princesses]

OOps I meant to say inside the beach bag are new.

 

[Ker-Bear]

That is too weird. We think too much alike!

Not sure which one of us looks worse: Me for thinking the same thoughts as a sophomore in college or you for thinking like an old lady with a 7 year old j/k
