First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise, 11th and Final Thread

[DisneyKevin]

Just wanted to jump into the shoe discussion...

I am wearing sneakers and bringing dress shoes.

Yes my dress shoes are black Crocs....but they are brand new, which elevates them to formal wear.

The amazing thing is that they double as my pool shoes.

Aaron...the cups at the drink station are kinda small and disposable. We bring our own bottles which are not only bigger but reuseable.

Please keep in mind that you are not allowed to put your refillable drink cup/mug/bottle etc. up to the dispenser for sanitary reasons. You will need to use one of the provided cups to fill your container.

P.S......I pulled some strings at Disney and had them re-schedule the Muddy Buddy for 2 ish.

Actually I'd prefer around 7ish, I workout at night not in the morning!

LOL... Kevin, thanks much, you've just reaffirmed TheBigGuy's mindset that new-ish crocs ARE formalwear..... and he gets the MONSTER big sizes like yours!!

OK...I'm officially getting excited.Thank goodness there are those with a shoe fetish that happen to wear my size....8.5!

Is it this week yet? Yes it is! Can you tell we are ready for a vacation?

I love the mickey shaped chicken nuggets, they are a regular purchase at costco for me. YUM... always wonder why I can't find them in the parks.

I packed the the toiletries and the jewelry tonight. All of the clothes are in one place waiting to go into the suitcases. Haircut and pedicure on Tuesday. I guess tomorrow night is for cutting out the flatties and magnets. Packing the suitcases on Wednesday. I just need to make sure I am out of bed with enough time to check in online Wednesday, for my flight Thursday morning.

Kim

Hey Kim- I am having a haircut/pedicure on Tuesday too!

And Alicia- you are making me feel sooo much better about the 7 pairs of shoes I am bringing narrowed down from the original 9 I had out, hmmmm maybe if there is still room....

 

[guynwdm]

Alicia just laid out SOME of the shoes she's bringing!

I'm starting to wonder if Alicia is a centipede?? hmmm..

 

[aspen37]

Who will already be on board this time next week?

I mean besides Alicia....

I will!

Alright, got another one for ya....

If I had the stuff I would make a shirt out of that! That is awesome John!!!!

Hi guys!
Just thought I would check in.
I have been very busy.
I still haven't packed yet.
I will do that tonight, for John and I.
The boy's I packed their suitcases the other night.
I have been trying to keep to my gym routine.
I was there this morning.
I burned 885 calories in 90 minutes.
I had decided I was going to run for as long as I could out of the 60 mins.
on the treadmill. Well I was at a speed of 5.9 and 29 mins. into the run.
Things were getting difficult so I said I will close my eyes and not look at the time. well within seconds I had gone right off the back of the treadmill.
However I did land on my feet. I then hopped right back on and continued for another 2 mins. The guy beside me looked at me and said, I have never seen anyone do that and land on their feet, and then hop right back on without breaking stride. I laughed so hard I had to stop running.
Total run on the workout 36 mins. out of 60.
Came home showered and dressed.
Now I have to get my act together.
Need to finish John's pirate vest.
Thanks for listening I know long winded.
Just thought I would give you all a laugh.
Oh and I am half way through Eclipse going to finish that before I leave on Tuesday night. I will bring Breaking Dawn with me.

I'm so glad you didn't get hurt!.

OMG! You are so lucky!!! My sister fell off the back of a treadmill 2 weeks ago and broke her arm in 5 places!!!

Alicia just laid out SOME of the shoes she's bringing!

You fit all of those shoes in your carry-on? I'm bringing 2 pairs of flip flops, 2 pairs of dress shoes, sneakers, and a pair of shoes that are Ok to get wet. I think I need another pair of shoes for brunch.

I love the A&E/BBC version best. Colin Firth was the best Darcy.

I agree with everything you said. I had the A&E/BBC version on DVD but I lent it to someone and never got it back. I need to buy it again.

I thought it was funny, so I thought I would share.

The bottle & can openers will have to be bought down there.
The airport would probably take them.

You can check them in your luggage. You just can't put them in your carry-on.

Hi Cruise Companions!

I just got back from an out of town cheer competiton for DD. Only 5 more days until WDW and the happiest cruise that ever left the port!

Tell Anna congrats!

Make that 3! DD15 and I are getting pedicures tomorrow too! All my nails broke a week ago so she will get a mani but I'm going to do a massage instead.

Don - I feel your pain about explaining this group to your co-workers. I have to explain it to DH and I still don't think he "gets" it but at least he's willing to go for the ride (although I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm nuts).

Alicia - you are making me feel very uncertain about my shoes. I'm not a shoe person but I think I may have to go shoe shopping tonight. I'm feeling very inferior to your sense of fashion, however that is because I am. I can admit it though

Kevin - you crack me up.

Aaron - congrats to Anna!!! Those competions are tough - DD15 is an iceskater so I understand how stressful it can be.

k5jmh - DH was looking over my shoulder at your pic and thought the nuggets were Mickey shaped cookies. He was trying to figure out how you got them shaped that way. He was so disappointed when I told him they were chicken nuggets.

Katherine - a few years ago I got my earphone cord caught up in a treadmill and fell off the back too. I wasn't lucky enough (or maybe not coordinated?) to be able to stand up. I fell right on my butt in front of everyone at Gold's Gym. Talk about feeling like an idiot!

I thought I would be packed by now but failed miserably at that yesterday. Today is a new day however. I have to be at work by 7:00, but that means I get off earlier so I can hopefully run to the mall to get some shoes and then come home and pack. I hope I am as successful as George is with my packing! You would think with this trip being planned for over a year I would be more organized, but nope. Thankfully, today is my last day of work - we are flying out Wednesday!!!

 

[safetymom]

Morning everyone.

I am ironed and pretty organized. I'll do the final pack Wednesday night (before chat). I'm getting the hair cut Thursday. I need to confirm the towncar and print our boarding passes Thursday also. I ordered my AP last nite. Gotta love the DVC discount!

I dug out my Passport last night and found $200 in it I probabaly stuck it in there when I can home from Christmas vacation.

So who's going to be at the Dolphin Friday night? Any interest in meeting for a cocktail?

ASK TRACY QUESTION

Do you have the tip guidelines for a 4-night cruise? The only one I can find at home is for the 7-night.

Thank you!

Hi Kathy. Good morning. Would love to have drinks Friday night but unfortunately we'd have to do it long distance. We don't get there until Saturday.

I'm there, I'm drinking...how about by the pool? I'll have to bring DH, but I'll load him up on SoCo, so he'll pass out on a lounger and we can talk....
