February 18, 2006 Magic - Who's Onboard? Roll Call post #156

[heidibauer]

Hi everyone,

My DH, DS 6 and DS 3 are getting very excited about the cruise on 2/18. I have been lurking around for a couple of days and wanted to make sure we were included in the roll call. I have already gotten so many great suggestions from you guys. We totally redid our excursions after reading what some of you wrote. We have done alot of travelling have decided to brave the islands on our own.

We are also travelling with my husbands family (mom,dad, sister, bother-in-law and 6 y.o. nephew). They are not the exploring kind so they have booked tours.

Looking forward to getting know some of you!
Really looking forward to taking my two little angels (lol) to the Oceaneers club!!!

Just got back from Disney World and we had a great time our conference was good but we seemed to cut out early most days to meet up with the kids or DD's are 3 and 4.

I Did book a private boat for Sat night to take us to watch the fireworks but the temperature fell very quickly and the wind was crazy. The first few days were awsome and my 4 yr old fell in love with the waterslide at the contemporary.

Just a quick note the Contemporary is in the process of redoing the rooms floors 9 and 10 are done and are fantastic. the whole room is new with LCD flat tv's and new modern sinks on metal bases and the color scheme is absolutly incredible. We usually stay at the Polynesian but I may reconsider once in a while now.

We cant believe the cruise is so close, comming home today to light snow and cold cold cold stinks ....

Looking forward to our meet at 3pm our girls will be in the kids club for the 3-5 yr olds

As I was reading thru the other posts - I saw a couple of people recommend pirate night. What is this?? Also is Tux necessary or just if you are going to the captain's reception which I assume is like a cocktail hour? Any info on this would greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Heidi

Alright DISer's it's time to get this thread going!!!

Pirate Night is a ton of fun... there is a big deck party, wth characters and fireworks. The entire night is themed, and everyone gets decked out in Pirate attire, and there is a Pirate themed menu at dinner.. then dinner is followed with the deck party, fireworks, and big pirate buffet!

People where tux's but it's not required, and you won't feel out of place with out it. A nice suit and tie is just fine for Formal and semi formal night, if you don't want to go all out with the tux!

 

[heidibauer]

Yo HO HO and a bottle of rum (or at least I hope so). We will be all prepared for looting and pillaging on Pirate night. Thanks for the helpful information.

Hey All:
Just to let you all know I am still on board in the WDW Suite. Beind that tax season is started I am in full swing at my office and do not have much time to monitor the boards. I did offer to have a tour of the room to start off the cruise meet. Lets do it earlier in the cruise than later. You all know, less time for the kids to destroy the place.
As an update, we have me DH 40-DW( Well very close to me)-There is no abbreviation for darling Mother-In-Law and our four kids, DD-11, DS-9, DD-7, and DS-4. Our DD at seven is will only be 5 weeks from her 8th birthday and am positive she will want to go into the Lab.
So please , if one person wants to keep me update by my email as to when mee times are set, for both us and the kids, please send me a summary. I would really appreciate it.

Disney Jim

Jim, glad you're still on board with the Walt Disney Suite. Currently we are planning a meet at 3pm on Embarkation Day between the Mickey and Goofy pools, I think on the Starboard side, since the kids will be anxious to get in some pool time. What did you have in mind for a tour of your place? Maybe we could help with some ideas if you're not sure. Let us know.



I also wanted to tell people if you're looking for Pirate attire I went into this store at the mall the other day and they had lots of pirate shirts and gear, it's called Hot Topic and you can shop online too. http://www.hottopic.com/ You may have to search the site (and store) but they had a lot of pirate shirts, Disney things and Nightmare Before Christmas items too.

ETA: just looked over the hottopic website and couldn't find much in the way of shirts. However the store in the mall had a lot. Here's another site if anyone wants pirate tees. http://www.portroyaltradingco.com/pr_clothes1.html

Red Jenny Rackham signing in...

(What question did we all answer the same way to get the same last name )

 

[mykel mouse]

Your pirate name is:
Dirty Tom Rackham
You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr! (Not you? Try it again.)

Eigher my computer is broke or I would have been a dirty pirate.

Now, that is only 1 month away. Where is that cruise packet? I am so ready to be in the sun. This New England weather leaves much to be desired.

 

[Triggs2]

Almost Forgot,
Dirty Anne Vane in!

 

[Haley'smom]

DH is Mad James Kidd

Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!


For the record, the weather in Michigan is also . The postcards from Mickey came (thanks again to Verandah Man), but still no cruise documents. Oh well, only one more month

 

[burma]

Dirty Davy Bonney

You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

OH the excitement mounts, we got our flight information today courtesy of the most wonderful Stepmom/Gramma in the world and Disney, I went to the tanning salon for the first time today ( I have this skin that turns bright red in the southern sun LOL) , unfortunately the weather in Buffalo NY is not friendly, but cant complain we have had barely any snow this year, and not too many really cold days, very strange actually...
