It was Hawaiian Shirt Friday?! Darn!
Congrats on your promotion!Well it would be great to meet a DISer before we cruise, so I'll do my best to stop by this week. It likely won't be until Wed, or I'll stop by on my way to the airport Thursday morning. Would that work?
I asked Mike to tell him that Kimberly stopped by to see you. He said "Okay". Then added "Kimberly from the cruise." Then he smiled and said a more emphatic "OHHH...Okay!" He did say that you had to go to another location but you were expected back around 11:00. I had to go home for lunch yesterday, so I looked to see if your Disney plates were in the parking lot, but I didn't see them, so Ididn't stop again.

Hey everyone....
Did you all see the ironic timing of our cruise and Disney's announcement yesterday about shutting down Pleasure Island? Apparently Pleasure Island is closing permanently on Sept. 27th.....and over the next year or two all those buildings will be re-opened as different kinds of businesses like shores and restaurants, etc....bu tnot the kind of nightclub scene it is now. All the clubs, including the Comedy Club and Adventurer's Club, are on the chopping block.
Honestly this doesn't impact Jason and I very much because we never really go to PI anyway (we don't drink and we're not really club people)....but I do know several of our close friends LOVE P.I. (Hadley's family loves the Comedy club...and Chris and Rob love 8Traxx, Mannequin's and the Adventurer's Club).....so I feel bad because I know they'll miss their favorite haunts.
Maybe this trip Jason and I will actually go down to the Adventurer's Club (we've always said we were going to go but then get distracted by all the fun in DisneyQuest!!!
So moral of hte story...if you love P.I. fun----make sure you're coming to WDW a night or two early before we get on the ship because once we get back P.I. will be history.
<---- (That's me in SHOCK that he's doing this!) All I know is that I'll arrive Thursday, we won't leave for our destination until Friday evening, we'll be at our destination all day Saturday, we'll be back (which I think means his sisters in MD because that's where he's staying) on Sunday, then fly back to Columbus on Monday. 
So I'll have to report back to all of you about my "surprise". 
He's added the disclaimer that I shouldn't have high expections, which I quickly replied "Oh you've already exceeded them!" 
Okay...Let's plan on Thursday then! I'll be there around 9:00 am.
Where am I flying to? Hmmm...believe it or not, that's a complex question! I am flying from Columbus to Philadelphia. However, I don't now if that's my last flight! My DBF is temporarily working in Newark, DE (4 more months remaining), so he's going to pick me up there. However, he's making the rest of the week/weekend a surprise!
We had talked about going to several places like Portland, D.C. (mainly for the fireworks), and even Niagra Falls. Then one day he says "I have a surprise for you! I've been researching destinations, and I have decided on where we are going but don't ask questions."
Why I'm not sure if this is the only place I'm flying to is that he mentioned he has "tickets". However, I have no idea if those are plane tickets or tickets to an event.
So really, truly, it doesn't matter where we go because him taking on this initiative is HUGE, especially because he states I'm awesome at planning all the right things when we go on vacation, and he speaks to it often. As all you other OCP, giving up control of even a mini-vacation is tough territory to look at from a distance with your hands tied. So all I've asked is for a dress attire packing list....aren't you proud fellow OC Planners????! Although.....I might cave in and ask for him to tell me the weather forecast for our destination too.
We'll, I'm working on magnets for the stateroom door this morning, so I need to get back to that. If you haven't counted the number of weekends remaining before we leave and you need your weekends to get extracurricular things done, make sure you're sitting down before grabbing the calendar.
We are a party of 11 with 11 Bags and also need a way to get from Orlando area to the Ship on Saturday.. Renting a Van or 2 will run us around $120 each van
Thank you!!
I'm going to book the Atlantis Submarine, hopefully for the morning, then have the afternoon to either beach or walk around and shop.
It's kind of a pricey excursion, so I didn't want to be stuck with it if my dh and dd decide they don't want to do it.
Now, on to Cozumel...Tulum ruins anyone? Yay or nay?
Have I told you all how awesome you all are!?!
Stella <--- who should be fined for excessive use of exclamation points today!!!!!
Good luck to all of you Castaway Club Members tonight!
Congrats!!

). Can we pay for the extra spot - or do they leave parties of 3 alone in a Jeep? Does anyone know? Has anyone done this excursion - I've googled and searched and the only review is from the guy who writes the Passporter, good review, btw.
