"Double Dip Delight" 09.27.2008 - Take 3!

[CrazyZeus1]

So I just checked out our website for the cruise & the thread with those who wish to share their cabin numbers. There are a handful of DISers with their cabins just a few doors in either direction of our room. So excited to see you in the halls!!

I know I don't get onto the other site often...but I did go look at the poll results and tried to cast my vote....but it won't let me vote. I'm logged in and I can see the poll questions and when I click on them I can see the current results...but there is on link or button for me to actually cast my vote.....

....but I'll cast my vote publicly here for Deck 10. I have been on the boat during freezing windy sprinkly weather and they still had the sailaway party....so i can hardly imagine what conditions would cause them to cancel it .....and if there is a sailaway party I'll be at it.....I never miss all the fun dancing and screaming and bubble blowing up on deck!!

Go to the front page of the website. Look on the right and you'll see 3 polls.

Yeah, I agree, a "Polls" tab SHOULD take you to VOTE on the polls, but the software running the website is squirrelly and DH doesn't believe me that you guys see the Polls tab. He thinks it is an admin only tab. And he doesn't have time to look because we've both been running crazy lately.

Anyway, Front page, log in, look on the right and see 3 polls to vote in.

Yes sorry...I found it eventually (I edited my earlier post but you probably had already read it).....Thanks! My vote is cast!

Yes, I am back....back from the beautiful city of Boston. Sorry. I didn't mean to worry anyone!!! I'm the same way as some of you know when I've poked you for a response when I haven't heard from you for awhile. So honestly, I should have known to drop a line. Sorry. You're all too sweet to be concerned. Thank you!!

I just had a quick moment to log in, so I'll try to get on later tonight and chat with ya. Otherwise, it won't be until at least Friday as I have an implementation at work tomorrow night.

Hey guys, I've heard from Kimberly. She's tied up with work.

Hadley, here's the link to the poll results: Here

Only 28 people have voted, but currently, Deck 10 before the party is in the lead.

Brandie--thanks for posting that. So long as I know she made it home in one piece I am good. I totally understand being too busy to post. Kimberly, here is a welcome back hug (know need to psot to be welcomed back! )


Okay--I will try to get to the poll when I get home (just got up from a nap--this hwole getting up at 3:00 to drive to the airport thing does not agree with me). We are headed out now to see Wall-E (it is HOT today and Marika is too tired to do much having flown through the night so a nice realxing, cool movie is it for hte afternoon).

We posted at the same time!
Don't stress about getting on tonight if you do not have the time, but thanks for popping in to let us know you are back (oh, and you were sooooo close to us; I wish I had known!)

 

[flower91882]

Wow, you all have been Chatty!

So, we made our reservations. Unfortunately, we only got Palo Dinner (Pirate Night) and our Cozumel Excursion (Tulum Ruins). I suppose we will be with all those in line for Brunch and Tea. James tells me that if we don't get to go to tea, he's not going. He's just going walk back off the boat! So, I'll be crossing my fingers.

After all the discussion of flights changing, I decided to check ours. Not only did the times change, but we are on a totally different flight coming back!! AND, the web site said that they had emailed or would email if anything changed. Guess what? I never got an email!! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to keep my eye on that one. (BTW, this was AirTran)

Ok, so Question of the Week: What are our favorite TV shows?

Me: Get Smart! (very disappointed with the depiction of Sigfried in the recent movie), Ugly Betty, So You Think You Can Dance, House Hunters

James: Good Eats, Spongebob, the Ultimate Fighter

 

[rkandmjsmommy]

Wow 5 weeks, I also didnt think it was that long! Glad she is home safely, I am also a worry wart, its part of being a mom! Let us know how you like Wall-E. I thought it was a bit too deep for my kids but I know a lot of people who LOVED IT!

Kimberly: glad you are also home safe and sound, I too like boston

We might have to have a bed check on the cruise with all of us worriers

Danielle: was it you we were voting for? did you get the spot?

Drea: We are also excited about booking on Sunday night/Monday night b/c it means we are that much closer, but I am a bit disappointed on the lack of Palo ressies, Its not looking good for any of us

 

[FatCat]

For those of you who have not booked your flight yet check out Orbitz's new Price Assurance program.

 

[GammaRee]

You guys are just way too chatty for me to keep up! I'm off the computer for a couple of days & you've written 20+ pages!
That's okay. I have fun reading them. If it's slow at work I get a chance to catch up on all the "gossip". Right now it's time for another glass of tea. See Ya!

SWEET tea, probably. NOT fair. I made up some decaf tea and sweetened it with agave nectar two days ago. DH likes it... me, not so much. Why don't you just compound my envy and have a plate lunch, lady???

Mom, have you heard about the DNS patches yet? DH told me about that mess last night, and I'm already imagining the growling I'll be hearing in my patch meeting on Friday. <-- that will be me, ducking tomatoes.

Oh, and in class, we're listening to what "tail" and "head" are. Earlier were "write" and standard devices. *banging head on desk* TWO weeks of this class. TWO!!!

I need chocolate. LOTS of chocolate.

 

[Hoagie Pie]

I haven't been on for 3 weeks and I am REALLY behind. You guys are chatty and I don't know much of what is going on, but I did miss you all. I didn't read everything, but it sounds like all of us are REALLY going to need a vacation. I cannot believe how close it really is. Hang in there everybody and keep talking. Kimberly, thanks for starting the new thread - how do we figure out where we are going to eat and why did they change the rotation? I think I missed all of that - sorry.

 

[nenner1]

OOOOH...I'll answer for her!! That laughing thing IS Fizzgig!! No, not the woman making the posts....it's Fizzgig---a character from the film "The Dark Crystal." Fizzgig was the female gelfling's pet (I am pretty sure her name was Kira or Kiri or something like that....she was the paler one with the white-blonde hair who was orphaned and raised by the podlings).

I think we are so going to have to rent that one!

Drea: We are also excited about booking on Sunday night/Monday night b/c it means we are that much closer, but I am a bit disappointed on the lack of Palo ressies, Its not looking good for any of us

There's lots of dinner slots........ If anyone wants to know if there is anything in particular let me know and I'll check for you...

Yep you did....it buried back in the thread somewhere. They changed the rotation b/c they changed the menus..or menU. They got rid of Master Chef and added Golden Mickeys. In order to put the Golden Mickeys menu with the show and keep it all on formal night, they moved the first "repeated" restaurant to nights 2/3 with a regular menu on night 2 and GM menu on night 3. It could change after the Magic returns from the MR but imho I can't quite see them ditching the new (highly praised) menu and switching back to the old way after just getting acclimated to the new rotations, but they have done stranger things. FWIW, I did call DCL and ask and they said that basically things are subject to change but the CM had no knowledge of any plans to go back to the old menu and rotation.

I made a handy dandy spreadsheet to keep it all in check. Hopefully it helps. Here is a link to the post...spreadsheet link

You are so sweet - thank you!!!!

 

[2goofy2luv]

Does anyone know if Eco park excursion is open in Cozumel for those of us 75 dayers that can't reserve yet? I just wondered what my chances are of getting that excursion.
Thanks.

Please let us know the days and times available, that would be GREAT, Thanks

I read on another thread that they are not doing the animator's palate show the first night you are in that restauratn, if thats the case, when are they doing it? I have NO idea when to book Palo, this is really frustrating!!!!

 

[doug46]

So is it Sunday night at midnight or Monday night at midnight that the 75 dayers can start to book excursions? I am sorry I haven't paid attention to this (I was able to book at 90 days), but a family traveling with us are first timers and they asked me to confirm. Thanks for your help and patience.

What is left for Brunch?

Thanks.

Yes, the Eco Park is available. I think your chances are very good!!!

For anyone else interested, currently the only excursion NOT available is the Luxury Yacht Charter in Cozumel. Everything else is still open for booking.

And..looks like all the spa treatments are still there...INCLUDING the couples cabana massage on CC!

Please let us know the days and times available, that would be GREAT, Thanks

OMG...last time I looked (like....last week) there were times available on the 1/2 hour every day (dinner).....

NOW it shows completely booked!! I don't know if it's me and my screwy reservation or if they really did all get booked at 90.


Maybe someone else can login and confirm/deny????

I read on another thread that they are not doing the animator's palate show the first night you are in that restaurant, if thats the case, when are they doing it? I have NO idea when to book Palo, this is really frustrating!!!!

Ugh, that is frustrating, I hadn't read that. Best suggestion I have is book your date (if you can) and then call and request a rotation that puts you in P or L that evening....it is only a request but imo is well worth a try.

What is left for Brunch?

Sorry, Brunch is gone. When I log in it shows availabilty, however the only thing it shows open is the date and time I already have reserved. I don't know if that's a glitch in our reservation and the slot is really open (though I remember others posting Brunch is full) or if only I can see it b/c I already hold that slot.

Doh!! Thanks for checking Jen. We are going to have to rush to port that morning so we can hopefully get some stuff booked.
