First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise 5/10/2009

[MenashaCorp]

Calling Jason/Kim - Where are you?

Driving I-65N to Indy, posting from my iPhone , praying U have an easy, safe delivery, Jenn!

Or I may be on the Wonder holding podcast cruise Boarding #1!!

As for pre-cruise, I'd agree with Mindy. (Always safest) The DIS Unplugged crew have hinted they will have something SuperCool planned. THEN we kidnap Kevin & John & take them for drunk karaoke!

Isn't that redundant - isn't ALL karaoke, DRUNK KARAOKE???

DH says that if it isn't drunk then it isn't worth doing!

A lot of the stores are putting thier cruise wear / tropical wear on discount/clearance this time of year. It is time to stock up!!!

You can buy now, pack it away and you will have it "new" for the podcast cruise.

Just do not losse weight (no chance) or gain weight (oh-oh)

Green boy picked up four new swim suits, "you can never wear the same suit twice on one trip".. I am sure he will apply sequins and babbles as well prior to depature

We did find some really nice stuff marked down 75% or more. We picked up some silk "camp style" shirts (that are just so ready to be filled with Disney embroidery) and some nice light weight slacks and shorts... (I wonder how many times a day he will chnge outfits)

 

[winotracy]

Hey everyone! We are leaving this morning for the port and 20 nights of Disney Magic!! Can't wait!!

4 suits for 4 nights? Oh no, I have five packed for 20 nights I have reasons for each one though. A couple one pieces to snorkel in, a couple two pieces for just swimming. Need at least three suits at any time (one to wear, one to wear later today when the first one is wet and I want to go back in and one to wear tomorrow when 1 and 2 are both still damp and cold). One or two more just for good measure

 

[TheBeadPirate]

Have a great time Tracy... and forget about us for a while... Your welcome home gift will be thousands of PM's

 

[TheBeadPirate]

Hullo out there in podcast-land....

At first I thought this was a soanking smilie. I was beginning to wonder what kind of freaky board this was.... Oh, hey wait, think we're already there.....

You want to see OCD, J-Kim meet my Mom. She is already planning what "outfits" she's taking.......

Hey, I resemble this! I'm shopping new outfits! What easier way to plan?!?

But...how will I be able to sneak up on Will?

I don't even dare wear my DIS Unplugged teeshirts...I fear they have sewn a locator beacon into them.

I would almost guarantee it!

I'll be sleeping so I can get up early and beat all the DIS'ers on to the boat!

There's gonna be a train o' DISers headed to the cruise terminal! You'd have to get up REALLY early to beat us!

Let the beatin's begin!

And don't forget....BIG PLANS are being made by the Podcast Crew...I imagine that would include pre-events as well!

They're gonna shove all of us on the boat, make sure we don't get back off before it leaves the dock, and then go to the parks for Dole Whips and a well deserved respite from all of the precruise maddness!!!! (evil laugh here)

I would love to be able to buy stuff on clearance now, but i'm on a weight loss program so I don't have any clue what size i'll be by then! But I can't wait to go shopping! Here's hoping i'll be much skinnier by the time the cruise rolls around!

i just realized you're from michigan...gonna be a few michiganders on the cruise (my mom and sister live in michigan)...
i guess they'll come down on saturday some time...
i haven't figured out when i'll get to orlando....not sure what route i'm taking as yet.....
since i've sworn off northworst, i won't be flying via detroit this time...

 

[DVCsince02]

Anyone else staying at the Beach Club before the cruise?

i'm staying at the dolphin....i never have before, but i guess that's where lots of people will be staying......

 

[scarlett873]

We'll be at the Dolphin too!

Still trying to figure out transportation. I keep thinking that it'll be best to rent a minivan and drop it off at the cruise terminal (with Avis). Do you think 6 adults plus luggage would fit into a minivan?

it needs to be one of those minivans with a deep well in the back...a grand caravan?
i don't recall...we had one a few years back and it held a TON of luggage in the back....we got it from alamo though...

We're driving over, if you need to we can halp take baggage....human or otherwise. It's just the 2 of us......and the many, many plans RICK (notice NOT Lori the OCD explorer) has planned for this.

In my week of exile to the non-internet palne of existence I found......many, many things from closing out the store we had for the FEs, a small roller bag for Rick's carryon (read Wino bag), magnetic pencil/notepad holder for the door, the Crowne Plaza stash(eye masks, ear plugs, drape clip, linen spray) that we got in Indy and I saved for the cruise, an extra pair of swimtrunks......

All went into a XXL Ziplock bag so 1.) It stays together and 2.) I don't put it somewhere "safe" and I forget where I put it. [Except the roller bag, it gets a logo stitched on it and everything else shomed in it.]

Amazing what you can clean out whilst a shirt is sewing on the machine! I sorted and folded my little ole heart out! Even found the tote bags I knew I had but couldn't find when I needed them. (See a pattern here?!?)

So, if any of you planners need a tote bag.....let me know......... .....I have plenty......NOW.

Me too! I'm in WW and hope to be much smaller in May '09.

But I'm gonna dream big and buy at least one smaller bathing suit on clearance! Everything else can be taken in.

DVCSince02 Beach Club is right next door to the Dolphin! I would love to be there with you, but I'm not an owner. And those Friday and Saturday required points are painful!

 

[kab407]

We'll be staying at the Dolphin pre-cruise. Right now I am planning on post-cruise also. However if I can get into BCV or BWV at 7-months, I may do DVC.

I'm lucky if I can find ONE that fits! You mean I need to have FIVE!!!! omigod

 

[DVCsince02]

I read the blog and laughed too. I mean really, you had to rub it in that you can wear a 2 piece suit.... Figures, she's skinny and a great TA!

Pershing - points shmoints.... we're on vacation without the kids!!!!!!

Lori - You can always give tote bags away in the FEs. I love them!
