First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise 5/10/2009

[DisneyKevin]

I love when Kevin brings out the big font.

What can I say?

Big boys deserve BIG fonts.

Having never done a 4 day cruise (all have been 7) does the 4 day have a palo brunch or tea?

We've done the brunch before and the tea (which we loved btw but we are big tea drinkers and love the tea at the Grand Floridian) and dinner.

We had an ok brunch experience -- we were in the separate dining room and were so hot it was stunning - they wouldn't bring in fans or anything to cool the room down so that did have a bearing on our thoughts of the brunch.

Dinner - well we had the most obnoxious server that really didn't make the meal enjoyable at all -- he sniffed when we said we didn't want any alcohol, brought pizza and told us "this won't be like what you are used to" and then basically told us we were having the chocolate souffle for dessert (I wanted this anyway but... we weren't given any options). We haven't been back for dinner since and I don't think I could drag Jim there anyway. And no we didn't complain (we're Cdns and Kevin is still teaching us that it's ok to complain, politely, rather than just never going back) as yes we did still tip.

I need to catch up on this tread, but count me in officially. I made my deposit last night, got the confirmation today.

I am coming alone (so far) - my name is Robin, I've been assigned early seating but will probably start bugging my TA to change to late. By the time this cruise rolls around it will be my SECOND DCL cruise and my ninth overall cruise.

Can't wait to met everyone.

Welcome Robin.

I know there is a tremendous amount of sadness here right about now but, welcome. I am also doing this cruise solo. As I wrote to another solo, by time this cruise rolls around, you'll have a hundred or so new friends waiting for you in the terminal. So read thru the thread and catch up, watch out for the cistern and pass you glass and join me in a moegeetoe for Bob.

Are we going to rebrand this the Bob Varley Memorial Podcast Cruise?

Tracy it was a pleasure to meet you yesterday. I wish it were under happier circumstances.

You need to work on getting Webwizard Alex on the cruise! I hope Kevin & John give you access to blog. I'd love a first hand account of the Roy.

Yes you do!

Kim, I will tell you this right now, Passport photos are on the same scale as DMV photos. Outside of a complete make-over, they will not look good. My Mom is on her third set of photos. She does not like any of them. I think she is going to try the local photo store. She'll pick from the 4. My current one, I look like death warmed over! I was coming thru passport comtrol on my recent trip to Portugal. The guard looked twice. Yea, that good.

Apply!

 

[SamIAm21]

My passport photo is atrocious as well! I don't care because anything that gets me on the ship is okay by me! I look about 30 lbs heavier than I am and I look like I am way ticked off at someone!!

Sheesh!

 

[cdnmickeylover]

My passport picture didn't look great but at least it looked like me til I sent it in. In the picture that's included in my passport I look sunburned!!! like I've already been on vacation. I'm actually very pale which is how the original picture looked but somehow in the process I went on vacation and returned sunburnned. Not a great photo. The same thing happened to Jim's photo and my DS's photo so it must be something in the processing.

Same here. Hopefully by then this sinking feeling in my stomach will have lessened. No pun intended. *sigh*

I keep on telling myself it's a year away, but sans Bob I'm not as excited as I was a month ago. But I'm going to hang on.

Unfortunately, mine looks just like me....

 

[DebbieT11]

Yikes... thanks for the reminder.... i've got the passport applications filled out, just gotta do the photos and get them sent off. Sheesh....

 

[mommyceratops]

I am sure Bob would be happy to let Pete or Kevin where his speedo in honor of him!
