FEB 3, 2008 ABROAD DISNEY WONDER--Who else??

[taramarie]

Great! Another female Shawn. Just when I started getting comfortable with my masculinity again.

OH you crack me up!!!!

 

[taramarie]

We have 69 people signed up for our group! Isn't that great! I hope everyone makes it to the 3:00 meet. It would make for a great picture!

Also--We have cancelled our plans in Nassau (guided plans anyway)

We are going to just play it by ear and take our time. Our plans are to:
Go to straw market
Go to a Fort or two (Bret)
Go to Hard Rock
Go to Senior Frogs
Go to the Bicardi Factory (can't pass up free rum--Who can go see Jack Sparrow without seeing where the rum is made!!!) It is a 2:00 tour, you guys should come with!!! It could be fun:banana:

I think I'm going to be following Tara and Bret around all day at Nassau.

I went parasailing in Nassau about 10-12 years ago. Seriously freaky- sorry to be the downer. We went to the beach just past Atlantis on our own and there were young men (possibly still kids- teenagers?) that were renting the jets skis and all that. We paid $85 for me and my sis to do a double parasail and well, it was an adventure! The board that we sat on was old and weathered and chipped at the ends and the bar that we held onto was a BROOM STICK! The parachute looked to be good, but who knows we didn't look that closely- it could have been made with plastic tableclothes!?! When we got up, I sat FROZEN in the air the whole time!

Now I will say, I have considered doing it again but at CC! I do trust Disney would have good equipment. I am now deathly afraid of heights though and have thought that would be a really quick and definative way to get over it- but we'll see. Not this year, but maybe when Dsis goes with again next year we'll do it together again and have a much better experience!

I say if they have it available again at CC (cuz I saw it was sold out early on too), go for it!

Sounds fun! my sis and I are heading out to visit Atlantis...has anyone been there? I've done the straw markets, beach but have not ventured to Atlantis.

Shawn, sorry, but that is the way it is.

BTW, My hubbies name is Carroll. There are lots of male Carrolls in SE Louisiana. Unfortunately, his dad was in the Air Force and they traveled alot. So we feel your pain.

 

[Juli]

Yeah! I'll dance with you!

Dancin' in Michigan!

 

[dizneyphan]

Oops

 

[dizneyphan]

Oops!

 

[dizneyphan]

Time to do the Single Digit Dance!!!

 

[MomPotz]

FYI for those going to the P&PP before or after the cruise- I read on another thread that the photopass you get that night has a 40% off coupon on it! It doesn't look like it is good on the CD but should be great for us since we would probably only order a couple of prints.

 

[pixieprincessmom]

Okay, that has me rethinking the whole photopass CD is we get several us together (I already have 4 people, so $25 each is I preorder). I'll have to check prices.


We are dancing in Louisiana too!!!

I leave on Wednesday, (going to the World for a few days first) and my fish extender I bought on ebay isn't here yet, nor has it shipped yet.
I'm going to get to the craft store today and hope to find some canvas bags to sew together. I really wanted the cute disney one I bought!

I have my magnets and goodie bags ready! I have my autograph mat w/ chocolates for thank you's ready. I'm working on an autograph pillow case for dd, and I have to put the magnets together, then I'm set!

What did you get? A hanging organizer type or a custom made "real fish extender." I got a princess letter organizer that came from way far overseas and it took awhile. They never responded to my shipping update questions, but it just arrived the other day. I think it got held up in customs for a while. Here's to hoping your disney one comes! Otherwise, for the bag thing you could always get disney iron-ons or patches and make it all cute!

I have my bags ready, but haven't started my magnets! I have all the art saved on my computer, but I need to get working!!!!! Hopefully this weekend cuz we leave Wednesday too!

If you wanted to give your fish extender a few more days to get here, making one out of canvas bags is something you can absolutely do last minute. To make mine, I simply cut the front handle off, cut the back handle in half and glued it to the bag above it. Add some iron on decorations, and you are done! It took me maybe 20 minutes start to finish!

It may just confuse the issue further, but another option, if it really hasn't shiped yet, would be to change the shipping address to have it delivered to the Cruise Line. Worst case if it gets there late, you can still collect it when we get back to port.

That is a great idea! I just have a cute little felt bag that I will be using...I just hope it doesn't "disappear" during the cruise

We leave Saturday morning and get into MCO at 9pm
