[Mr508MA]

The door signs look awesome, Jeff! I want to try to work on ours this weekend. Anyone know where to find some Disney pirate character graphics/clip-art?

Tracy

I found a lot from the links that Rick had sent

http://www.geocities.com/disneyclipart/

Remember Peter pan had Pirates..

bet you may even find a Mickey Pirate too... There is Google Image too

Karen - I don't mean to snicker but you don't appear to have sent an email to nshabarekh@snet.net. If you feel comfortable posting with your email address, just send it there. Jeff's instructions are pretty good as far as deleting the PMs. If your browser window's not open enough you may not be seeing the check boxes. Once you click on the boxes you do have to click on the red menu bar at the bottom, right and change the drop-down option to 'Delete'. If you like, click on the open box at the top (blue) and it'll select them all for you. Unclick what you want to save.

Jeff - don't worry about Norman drinking you under the table. He probably had 3 drinks last year - the entire cruise. I think I could drink him under the table. To put it lightly, he's a cheap date Anyway, we don't really drink much. We'd rather eat the calories.

In case no one has read this anywhere before, you don't use cash with DCL. You can bring cash to guest services and pay them in 'installments' but you do not hand cash to any cast members. It's all done with your KTTW card. With Josh, we gave him his Disney Dollars and he went and paid his bill mid-week. I did revoke his spending privilidges last year after he purchased a number of game cards. Please speak with your children before the cruise to give them limits. Learn from my experience. Back to travelers checks - you can use them off the ship. Don't forget to bring cash though - for taxis and other amenities. We got by with our Credit Card off the ship at the shops but there will be situations that do not warrant the plastic. Oh, and I'm pretty sure you cannot use the KTTW card on any islands

Sally - I don't know how I did it but I'm only 7 lbs from returning to WW Goal Weight. What an awesome week. And, I had GOOD chocolate. I'm sore from the health club but I'd like you all to see LESS of me.

I too have piles... of clothes... in the basement. Thank goodness I won't have company over - my packing area is a mess. I bring detergent and opt for washing one night during dinner rotation. We usually pack light - we will be wearing the same shirt some of the days. You only put it on over your bathing suit, don't you??

OMG KIM!!!!! Twice I KNOW I sent it.. at LEAST once!!!! Oh Lordy... my day is spiraling
I AM getting excited though... just rearranged AGAIN, my suitcase!!! All my shoes are in!!!
Remember, bathing suits are carry on in case it takes a while for your luggage to come.
Mickey Flg is posted outside.... Mickey icecubes are being made....
Kim, my email is netigerlily@yahoo.com and if you send me anything, just put something Disney in the "subject" spot b/c sopmetimes it goes directly to bulk and if I do not recognize the email address... I accidentally delete.
DH and I are going over to Clearwater beach to get him a new cruise shirt!!! That means he is excited!!!

[Cajun Princess]

Hi Everyone

Well I must be the last one to do the Doc dance. Got them yesterday

I have stacks of clothes ready to put in the suitcase but nothing in yet. Have to get to that soon or we won't have anyplace to sleep tonight

I am also planning on getting WalMart Cards for the club castmembers. Another thing I have to do.

I can't wait to see everyones door signs. I have a bunch made as well as tshirts and pillowcases.

We don't have an excursion planned for Costa Maya yet. Thinking about doing the jeep 4x4 one. Does anyone know about this one or can point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

I got cups and some rubber duckys for the Mardi Gras Party. I also have lots of beads to bring. I found some neat Pirate Beads that we will wear for Pirates night with the shirts I made Can't wait It should be lot of fun.

DH can't wait to sit, relax and have a drink or 2 or 3

Jeff the pic you posted were great. Real makes you want to be there NOW
Also loved your weather forecast for Key West I busted out laughing, glad no one was home to hear me.

See yall at the Ship Model in one week

Jeff You are to funny with these door signs . I will be right next to you at the pool, 1st round on me 2nd round on you and then we will just rotate though out the cruise. Hope all is well, we are going to resume packing today. Then we go out dancing tonight to practice for our trip, should be fun. See you in, in, in, YES in 1 WEEK. Just noticed they have an open foosball tourney on our 1st sea day, Joshua and Norm against Jeff and Dylan, Loser buys.

Norm


PS: Did you all notice the 7 day Western Navigator page posted a short while ago.?

OMG Kim!! THey are going to be so funny! I can't wait to take lots and lots of pictures, as Jeff rarely drinks anymore and when he does he gets downright GOOFY!!! I can't wait to meet you, Norm and Josh

 

[SallyB]

I am having a bad day too many things.I am sure no one can relate!!!

Don't be so sure... I think it's getting so close our emotions are running like a rollercoaster!! The guys are more mellow.. but us women "feel" more. Especially that time of month and it's that time for me but I HAVEN"T SEEN IT YET!!! It better come and go before Friday is all I can say!

Jeff - don't worry about Norman drinking you under the table. He probably had 3 drinks last year - the entire cruise. I think I could drink him under the table. To put it lightly, he's a cheap date Anyway, we don't really drink much. We'd rather eat the calories.

Kim

Kim I like the way you think!! I'd rather eat the calories too.. and you can tell when you see me. But I do love Curves and it does help keep the metabolism high I dont like the taste of alcohol, but find me a frozen drink where you can't taste it and I'll enjoy Seriously though.. for me, when you put vodka or rum in a drink it kills the taste..

Disney sells game cards on board???? Oh God! Are you talking Pokemon and Yugioh? Now I really have to set a limit with Disney. We can do that right? Like tell them only allow $20 on his card for the week? I sure hope so or he'll have no spending privies. He loses all logic when it comes to those cards!

I was wondering that about the shirts too.. I actually went thru my suitcase today and removed 2 whole dress outfits. I now have 1 nice pair of dress slacks and 2 dress shirts. That will get us through dinners and the buffets are casual, yes? should be ok. I was able to take our 3 prs. of shoes doing this too! I made lots of room I need room for what I'll be bringing home

Rubber Duckies for the Mardi Gras Party? Ok what did I miss? Oh and the pirate beads.. did you get the coin necklaces? I was going to get those for us but didn't.. Now I wish I had.

I think our DH's are going to be enjoying the drinks together.. This is going to be funny. Hopefully they aren't worshipping the porcelain thrown

***NOTE ABOUT THE KIDS BOARD*** If you think about it.. Can you have your sons put in a few posts at the message board. Dylan has been wanting to talk to the boys and the responses have been low.. and I want them to feel the excitement we all do when we talk here. Thanks

Hey Jeff!!

I have my cousin and her family over right now and we are looking at the boards and she told me that her little girl was is in the same kindergarten class as Caitlin Sahlberg!! The world gets smaller and smaller..... (they live in Leominster as well).

That is a small world...see they do say we are all linked together some how..
I'll introduce you to them on the cruise....

Yup, here is me sitting at pool side

 

[2littlemonkeys]

Melanie... how was the concert? A friend at work had the same thoughts of

It was fabulous, thanks for asking! The boys are still looking good! I was desperately wishing we could have stayed and gone again tonight but we had to get home so I can start getting things ready for Saturday!

And exactly how long did it take you to get to Clearwater? We drove over after lunch and man, traffic was horrible!

Another stupid question.....Ok so I was looking at the picture from the web cam and I noticed that the llife boats hang in front of the verandahs. My question is what deck # do those boats cover??? PLEASE DON'T TELL ME 6!!!!

Hahaha!!! OK... I won't!!
No, seriously, I have no clue, I just thought that was funny that you were thinking of that. It is probbaly on our deck!!!
Melanie... I work in Clearwater. The traffic is ALWAYS terrible. It takes me a minimum of 50 mins to get to work and I leave at 4:20 so I think I probably MISS rush hour. Coming home late at night I get home in a half hour. It is a beautiful ride over the bridge especially if I see dolphins jumping!!

Jeff.... those frozen banana drinks sound fabby!!! What are they named?

Oh... I DID get all in my PM box deleted! Thanks guys!

 

[Mr508MA]

on the cruise we did b4, there was CHOCOLATE BANANA, OCEAN BREEZE. BANANA BANSHEE to name a few

Good job on PM box

Another stupid question.....Ok so I was looking at the picture from the web cam and I noticed that the llife boats hang in front of the verandahs. My question is what deck # do those boats cover??? PLEASE DON'T TELL ME 6!!!!

They don't cover any room, They are one deck 5, only where the Kids Labs/clubs are. (+ atrium & Theater) If you walk the promonade deck on deck 4, you will see them hoisted up above... Promenade Deck is where you may find me some mornings (depending on the scenery)

Ok, time for my dumb question.... Why Boston Brat frome Nevada ??

If your DS or DD have charging privilidges they can spend anything, anywhere. We plan on having the talk with Joshua some time today to go over what he should be thinking about. I am still gun-shy with the privilidges for him. I don't know if they do sell Pokeman cards on the ship. The game cards I am referring to is like a subway card or a bus card with a swipe on the back. They purchase the card with credit on it and use it instead of quarters. Joshua seemed to like to purchase them because they had many different pictures - it almost seemed like he wanted to see how many pictures he could get. Anyway, the stores were not an issue because we were with.

I sent a new list this am so check your emails. I'm anxious because there are still some folks who haven't had the benefit of our list. It's incredible how connected some of you all are.

Jeff - I'd meet up with you and Sally at dusk in Union, MA if you wanted to. My mom is in Willington, CT. How far are you all from there??

We wanted to meet up with Kelli but she's a very busy momma!

Bahamas Papers: I know stuff was asked, but can't find it
This is basiclly for Castaway Cay ? (in Bahamas)

Arrive by: do we select Cruise ship, Disney Magic, & the day it arrives at Castaway, with Disney as our agent ??

or are they asking for all the normal stuff, like airlines, my agent,
~ There is one part where the ask "City boarded this plane/boat" [Boston/Orlando/Port Canaveral]??

I guess is it asking for my info for the cruise, or just the 1 bahama's island ??
