"Double Dip Delight" 09.27.2008 - Chapter 4!

[ntheory]

Thank you everybody for the fish extender gifts. I loved them all!! I loved all the homemade ones too. Very cool. Did anybody get their magnets stolen? Somebody stole my sons Cars one so he was upset

That just stinks. We managed to keep all of our magnets. I did personalize almost all of them, though.

I'm working on putting all my cruise pictues in my Disney Cruise Line photo album and I can't for the life of me remember our Capt. name. I've always had Captain Tom, except when I was on the Wonder when I had capr. Henry.

It was Capt. Thord. I never got another name for him. He signed my daughter's book, and that's all that's in there.







STACY - Jared is trying *desperately* to get us on a September cruise next year ...........

Just curious... How many of you actually GOT the Tinkerbell & Princess note sets we left as F/E

I saw 1 walk off in a group of "tweens" but did not stop them.. There were 5 of them and only 1 of me at the time..

I know, I gave 1 to a room steward and he put it on the coffee table so it didn't walk away..

I'm not sure but my plan is to go through that stuff this weekend and figure out what is what. I remember the glow sticks though (saved my hide....I forgot to pack some for our little guy).

Glad you all liked the bookmarks. I tried to think of something creative and have to admit I had a lot of help from Mr. 2goofy. He actually did the layout of them and I had them laminated and did the ribbon. So he gets lots of credit.

I just wanted to say again that we did enjoy meeting all the Disers we met. Wish we would have met more of you guys. Gosh, with as many of us as there were on the boat I don't know how we didn't. We went to lots of activities and events but never really met many of you. Even did the first meet up but the ones of you we met were wonderful.

A shout out to Elliotts Mommy. We miss you guys as our dining mates. It is hard not seeing you guys every night at dinner. Now we are just looking around at the three of us.

Is anyone doing any 3-4 nts in 2010?

That might be the soonest we would be able to do DIS again. Guess the 3-4 nights only go to Nassau huh?

Just wondering. We did not book on the cruise but wondered if anyone knew anything about the 3-4 nighters.

awwhhhh we miss you guys as well. Everytime I go through our photos with someone I just keep thinking "man I wish those guys live closer". DH is talking about a trip to the moutains next summer to try to see you guys

We are planning another 7 night in 2010 but my thing is that I just want another CC double dip. Actually we wish that DCL would just do a 7 day that sailed in the ocen then goes to CC every other day

Ok. DH has been asking me. I know some of you were really happy to get the hot sauce we passed out...but has anyone listend to the CD? We thought it would be fun to give you a taste of the 'Big Easy' and if you've ever visited the French Quarter you'll recognize many of the songs.

We've not listened, yet, but I know exactly where it is! It will likely go in my CD player in my Haven (my craft studio) tonight when I go up. That was a *cool* gift! Great idea.

That would seriously be pure HEAVEN (but can we make it a 10 day?????)!!!!!!

Show-off.

I didn't "go walking" - and heaven knows I didn't run - but I took the stairs everywhere (except when wearing heels) and did plenty of walking around the ship and in port. It was enough to keep my vacation weight-gain to a single pound, woohoo!

Not a show off. Just really enjoyed the quiet on deck four as I watched the sun come up every morning. The rest of my family tended to sleep in, so I had to get out of the cabin once I was awake anyway. It was annoying on the days we were on the islands because they would block off the front of the ship (couldn't make the complete circuit). Therefore, everytime I got to the hall way that lead to the bow of the ship, I would have to turn around and run the other way.

Although I ran 6 miles four mornings, did 7 miles on the eliptical machine one other morning, and took the stairs everywhere (only used the elevator once and that was going down), I still gained nine pounds. I guess I shouldn't have been eating a choclate chip cookie every time I took the stairs. Limiting myself to one desert every night, might have helped. I suppose all of the fruity, tuty drinks might have played a roll as well. And so on.

Oh well, back to the diet as soon as we left the ship and three more good runs and all but one or two of the pounds gained are already back off. So all is good, I guess.

Geez. I wish I could lose weight that fast.

I have not listened, my lap top had a HUGE trojan and had to have everything wiped cleaned, then it was passed to my son's desk top so he is still fighting with it to fix it..

Little by little I am re-installing all the programs

Funny, I was talking to a family on CC about Disney doing a 7 day triple dip and just sailing around the other days. We both agreed this would be sold out every time it was offered!

We would be on it!

We would be on this trip too. CC is the highlight of our trip.

LOL!!! I'm not sure why he's trying to plan that .... he very well may be in boot camp at that point! LOL!!!

He's going to take his ASVAB and his physical on Tuesday. We should know more about his future after that, I hope. I'm frustrated waiting on them to decide if he's 'educated' or not.

Maybe we can have Brittany talk to "them" and make his Boot Camp start AFTER the cruise..

 

[Paul2003]

THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU I knew it began with a "T", just could't remember the rest. I Just needed the first name for my pictures.

ROTFL!!! I tell ya what ... YOU send her to talk to them, and let ME know how it works for her. I think his recruiter would ship him out TODAY if he could. (he can't, though ... )

 

[nenner1]

We did not but we have a boy and signed up late for the F/E gifts. Not sure if we would have gotten one anyway. That is terrible though that you saw them "walk away"

I was worried about that with the bookmarks I made and the kids mickey necklaces I made. Hope they all made it to their assigned homes.

Thanks so much to everyone for the F/E gifts. We did sign up late and still got lots of goodies. We loved looking in our F/E and seeing what we had. Made the trip lots of fun.

Yes! The bookmarks and the necklaces were great! I am *so* glad you gave us two, I had snagged them both and put them in the nightstand, one was just in the drawer and one was in my book, but somehow condensation from my drink or something must have leaked down into the drawer and got into the one that was just sitting on top, and it smudged the writing a bit. After that I put the good one in my purse and used the smeared one so I can keep one nice.

Ha ha ha! There is my MIL again! I can't believe we didn't see you guys around!!!

We have the crud now too. Sarah got it first, now I have it too. Yuk. My throat is on *fire*

Kimberly,

Come aboard the 10/10 cruise.

You to. Pit

NO NO NO no no you can NOT change that date

Come to 9/12/09 to Tortola.. I'll even buy you a drink..

AGREED!



DOUBLE AGREED!

Triple Agreed!!! ...

Awe! Any more bidders? I'm looking for a free excursion!

...but has anyone listend to the CD? We thought it would be fun to give you a taste of the 'Big Easy' and if you've ever visited the French Quarter you'll recognize many of the songs.

I haven't listened yet, but I'm terribly anxious to! That was a very cool idea! I just took a quick glance in my pirate bag of goodies and saw things I didn't see before! I plan to lay all the WONDERFUL FE gifts out this weekend to take pictures of it all. I'm just so amazed at the generosity of you guys! Furthermore, those of you who personalized gifts to our likings based on conversations we've had (for example I love tea (Thanks Heather!)) or QOTW really went out of your way, and I appreciate that! I could go on and on about each special gift!

VACATION PICS: I spent literally HOURS going through my 2 weeks of vacation photos. In the end, I have 453 photos (plus my FE gift photos yet to be taken and some Sea Trek photos that Jason and Erik took) to have printed. There were an additional 516 from WDW (plus my PhotoPass pics)! Over the weekend, I'll likely be sending some of you copies of pics of you and/or your family that I took with my camera.
FYI that SNAPFISH.COM has a special good through 10/11/2008 for 50 prints for $0.01 and $0.09 for each additional photo. Use code "FALLPENNY08". Furthermore, if you use one of the online rebate sites, you can get more of a savings (12%: Mr.Rebates; 10%: Cashbaq, eBates, MoreRebates, and ShopAtHome).

Was someone asking about the DCL or Castaway Cay scrapbook sets that apparently quickly sold out? I picked up the CC set on Saturday night, so I have the SKU number and I'm certain you can call the same number you call for WDW merchandising to order it. Let me know if you need the SKU or phone number.

Does anyone have pictures from our DIS Meets on Saturday that you would be willing to share? I was so busy and excited meeting so many of you, that I never had a chance to pick up my camera.
