February 16, 2008 - 7 night Eastern

[Sandaneli]

Alrighty then... I think I will pass. Anyone want to meet up to watch Enchanted together (or another movie like Nat'l Treasure)?

We are definitely going to be seeing both movies. We can check the navigators and see if it works out.

I am just sitting here checking to see if anything new posted while I cut out little Mickey heads from paint samples. May I suggest "Alien Green" for the cruise meet? I am going to write our first names on the Mickey head.
We picked up 10 yesterday at Home Depot. We only need 4 so we have extras for anyone who needs them.
BTW: Anyone else sleeping with their Passporter book? I love that book. This is my second copy (had one for my first cruise in 2005) and already pre-ordered the one coming out in a month or two.


My DH found the Passporter guide when we were just considering a cruise as opposed to going to WDW. It's been on the bedside table since then. We look at it all the time.
In fact his comments are in the front of one of the versions.
Have a great day!
Renée

Let's talk food shall we...

What time is your dinner seating and are you requesting a specific rotation?
We have late seating. We haven't requested any rotation we have always had LAP which is fine with us.
Our group is dining late and we are requesting PLA.

Food glorious food...

We leave in 4 more days! Can't wait...I just hope the weather is good for our flight on Thursday! It can snow all it wants once we leave! lol

I hope you have a safe trip and a great precruise vacation. It seems like the perfect end to a WDW vacation. After the hectic pace of the parks the ship will be wonderful.

We don't have our documents yet. For those of you who have, What is in it? We did our online check in and I can't rembember what else comes with them.

We leave in 10 days but who's counting

 

[kcashner]

Late seating, don't know rotation....didn't request. Unfortunately, my favorite server is no longer with DCL. Good for him, sad for us.

I'd love 2 paint chips. I have my Disboard lanyards from the Panama Canal cruise.....

Went thru my dressy clothes last night. I'm running a special on "too big or too small." However, have enough separates to make do, and bought one new outfit. It was a rude awakening--I have to lose weight! Again!

Got you covered do you want your names on them? I put our names on them with not so hidden Mickeys. If yes, please send the names.

Hi Sandra (et al),

Obviously not a Super Bowl person if I am on the board...

Anywho, went to a different site and printed put the 1/19 Eastern Navigators. If it is the same (or very similiar) when we are on board, Enchanted was the big Tuesday night, everyone together movie. Nat'l Treasure plays several times during the week as does Enchanted.

Regards,
Renée

Giants

Giants

Congratulations Giants Fans
Eli and the Giants played a great game and the Patriots didn't!

We are disappointed but now we just look forward to the cruise and as DH says the Pitchers and Catchers go to Spring Training next week. Go Red Sox.

I am actually a Redskin fan living in New York. I have to cheer for the NFC by obligation and the fact I don't need my young sons getting their but kicked at school after cheering with Daddy against the local team. It would have been also cool to see a perfect record. Maybe next year.


With the Skins!!!

Where did you find the 1/19 Navigators. I'd love to print them out so we can start planning and make sure we fit everything in.

Our DD13 is sick right now, fever and sore throat, and will miss school tomorrow. It might be fun for her to look them over.

It would be great to see the movie on the big screen at the Walt Disney Theater. On our last cruise they played the Pirates of the Caribbean III movie. I don't like them so we didn't bother to go but I've heard it's a great place to see a movie.

Thanks,
Sandra

I had the link in the message and the site dumped it somehow. (Kept the www and replaced everything else with # signs. I edited it so it did not look so bad). If you go to the castawayclub web site (starts with a "www" and ends in "com") they have links to several Navigators. I chose the most recent Eastern Navigator. I tried emailing the Navigators to me and it did not work. I rpinted each page as a picture. It is a little fuzzy, but mostly readable. There is a lot of other good info on that site, so it may give DD something to do while she is home.

When I was on the ship back in 2/05 the movie was "The Incredibles". It is pretty fun watching the movie in the big room. I really like the smaller theater, too.

Hope DD feels better soon.

TTYS,
Renée

Pitchers and Catchers go to Spring Training next week. Go Red Sox.

Sandra

Being the Durango Kid (Durango Colorado that is!) I am NOT a Sox fan, but I used to have Rox (colorado rockies) season tickets, and am a baseball fan.

We went to a Braves spring training game last year, since they place a Disney's WWoS. We had a very good time.

We have the late seating for dinner and we hope to move to early, which will be my first task upon boarding.

The CastawayClub website is very informative. It was maintained by a Celebration resident who has been on 60 Disney Cruises I doubt most castmembers know as much about the ships as she does. So if you ever see any Dis posts by "inkognito" pay attention.

Notice my ability to turn everything back to Celebration I should get a job with town hall or something.

This link is to the Navigators from the January 19th Eastern Cruise. I hope this works.

The part that's missing is: disneycruiser. info

without any spaces between the . and info!!!

 

[Sandaneli]

Thank you, I'll print them out for all of us to look through.

Our cruise documents came today. There isn't much in there now with on-line check-in. Still it is one step closer to our cruise.

I'd like to have an idea how many cabins are participating in the Fish Extender exchange. If you are interested please either PM me or post on this thread include your room numbers so we know where to deliver to. I'll make a list for anyone who is interested.

I'm more concerned that you might be upset when we WIN Either way we'll still be friends.

We use our breezeway as a freezer/refridgerator most of the winter. It comes in very handy when we have company. Our relatives from FL were here in November and they just laughed when they saw all the "refreshments" outside. There has to be some upside to this cold weather.

Today it is a balmy 50 degrees

Go Pats #19 wins!

But no cruise documents yet

Sandra, we have to admit that it was a great game!! It could have gone either way... What the Patriots accomplished this season is truly remarkable... But, our New York Giants got pixiedust and WON!!
How about I buy you a drink??

It was a great game for the Giants. The Patriots were so terrible, it was difficult to watch. It was exciting that it could have gone either way but it was quite frustrating for us. Winning 18 and then losing the BIG one was disappointing. Most people around here were in a funk.

But we are going on a cruise so we're not letting the Patriots get us down.

HI!!!! We are so happy we just found you!!! We are going on the Feb. 16th Magic. A friend told us we have to look at the disboards, and this sure looks like a lot of fun!! There will be three cabins of us. My daughter (14) and I will have one cabin, my sister, BIL, and niece (17), will have the second, and my other sister, mom, and niece(7), and nephew (11) have the third. We are all very excited, and are return cruisers. I have heard the fish extenders are a lot of fun ! Please count us in! I will try to find our room numbers and post later. Thanks, and we look forward to keeping up with this thread.

Hey Eastern Cruisers!!!

We're rocking and rolling out here in the deep blue sea . . . and I'm not just using those words loosely.

Its been pretty rough since we set sail out of Port Canaveral. Just a heads up . . . if you even think you might get sea sickness . . . get a prescription for the patch and have it filled before you leave. Better to have a prescription you don't use than to wish you had one to use and not have it.

Christiian is our Cruise Director and has been doing a wonderful job.

The Adventures Away deck party was great. I like the changes they've made since lasts February. They incorporate High School Musical 2 into the party and it was welcomed by the kids.

The All Aboard Show Saturday night featured Mark Eddie (the replacement for Gary Delana -- his show is similar) and Freddy Fusion.

Magic Quest on Saturday night was an absolute RIOT! I would have to say that is one of the "must see - must do" events on the ship for adults. It precedes Match Your Mate in Rockin Bar D.

Sunday brought to us Twice Charmed with a matinee as well as both regular shows. We also had our formal night changed to Monday night because of the Superbowl.

Sunday night also was Freddy Fusion's adult show and the Spring Break Party which I thought went very well. There was a great crowd in RBD for those.

Monday was The Golden Mickeys with a matinee again. Tonight was the Mark Eddie adult show. Following the late showing of The Golden Mickeys . . . we had an announcement go over the entire ship -- "Brightstar, Brightstar" and other phrases that I could not understand due to a language difference. It was Capt. Thord on the PA. I asked my stateroom host what the code meant and he said it was a medical emergency. I have no idea what happened but it was just after I got back to my room after the show. We were rocking and rolling pretty good so it makes me wonder if someone fell while they were trying to navigate the stairs in the WD Theatre following the show.

Tomorrow is St. Maarten -- we are scheduled to get the all ashore at 8 AM and all aboard is at 7 PM. Of course, we have the Pirate Party at 9:45 PM.

I'll try to check this thread when I log in again.

Palo servers that I recognize are Anne Marie, Noemi, Tomas, Marco, Ciao Romano with PJ as the manager. The others are not familiar faces to me. Louise has left the cruiseline to start her family so she is no longer in Palo.

Oh -- our kids are LOVING playing distag . . . they are very excited when they have mail in their fish extenders.

Oh -- we have LOTS of Louisianians onboard this week - 50 from Kenner, 28 from New Iberia, 30 from Bourg and 14 from Houma. Those are just the numbers from groups I've talked to . . . there is lots of purple/gold daily.

 

[Wachsdds]

Very cool to get the insight so close to the cruise. Have fun in St. Maarten. We hope to hear from you through out your cruise.

Thanks again!!

2080 is working on putting one up...

Is your daughter doing better today?

Take care,
Renée

 

[sisterpate]

Thanks Photo Lisa for thinking of us! I hope the seas calm down for you soon. Enjoy!

I'll make a note of your room number and post a list that I can add to as people contact me. Then everyone will be able to see it.

DD13 is doing better. I think she'll go to school today. I work at her school and yesterday we had a record 14 kids out and 2 more went home sick. We only have about 130 kids. Some of them have influenza so we were concerned when DD13 had a high temp on Sunday. Now we just have to make sure none of us gets sick we leave in 9 days.

Snowwhite139, welcome aboard! The Dis is a great place to come for all of us that love DCL. My friends don't want to hear about it so it's nice to have a place to go where people are as excited as I am. I'll sign you up for the Fish Extender just let me know your room number when you get it. As noted above I have a DD13 would your daughter be interested in IM or Email with her before the cruise? There is at least one other DD13 going on the cruise and they have connected a bit already.

Photolisa, THANK YOU for your report. How generous of you to take your cruise/vacation time to post information to us. Do you know if the weather is something new and passing through. We were on the Wonder in Feb. 06, the weather was nice and the seas smooth. I was going to skip the patch this year but I'll call the Dr. today.

I hope you all have a wonderful day but I know PhotoLisa will be having one anyway.
