First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise Seven Deadly Threads

[MenashaCorp]

Port. Starboard.
Foreship. Aft.
Upper Decks. Bowels of the ship.

Can't we all just get along?

Todd-ney King?!?


Of COURSE we'll get along - it's the PODCAST Cruise!!

Morning!

We've got 5-6" of snow on the ground. It started out as rain, so there is that nice ice layer under the what fell. We're expecting another 2-4 later this morning.

I'm working from home today simply because I don't feel like getting dressed and cleaning off the truck.

Hi Kathy. Right now it is not doing anything here but we should get another 2-3" to go with the 12" we got. Luckily I have mostly all of it shoveled.

While I was browsing the garden center last night, I remembered that Flower and Garden Festival will be going on at Epcot while we are there. Any thoughts on how (or if) this will affect our plans?

More bushes for John to hide in?

Stay warm all you east coasters -- think of tropical breezes on a mild spring day...

Hi Lisa. Nice to hear from you.

I missed the end of six and the beginning of seven, but I'm here now. Hello everyone.

I'm back at work after spending the whole weekend under the weather. I'm still not 100% I don't think, but a bagel and some hot tea tasted good this morning so I seem to be back on track.

Hi dodie. Glad you are feeling better.

I am now caught up.
Good morning everyone.

Hi Katherine. Just getting caught up myself.

Shouldn't affect our plans at all except there will be lots of flowers to take pictures of. Is there a band playing during DATW? Is so, maybe we can stop and have a listen.

Remember I'll have the porta-studio with Abba.

And I think my head just exploded...

You missed me Brandie.

Pete has posted a new blog about Universal's Mardi Gras and their experience riding on the float last Saturday night.

Thanks for the pointer Aaron.

Do I at least get to be the first one to post TODAY???

Looks that way Mindy.

If I plan an evening for Palo and find that there is a podcast event I would rather attend, could I cancel or reschedule my Palo reservation, according to availability of course?

Yes, but you must do so 24 hours prior to your reservation or you will be charged.

If we are staying at a WDW hotel before and after the cruise (for example BCV), will bell services hold a suitcase for us while we are cruising?

You would have to check this out with the individual resort as I haven't seen an official policy on this. Some have posted here that it is possible though.

Mornin' all! Or is it afternoon already?? Just checking in and catching up today.
I am drowning in kid clutter which I am about to attack while listening to my fav. podcast. Decided to hire a cleaner- she starts this week, I am very excited! How pathetic is my life??
Anyway- started my FE gifts last night!

Woke up to at least 6 inches here in western Mass and it's still snowing hard. I work for the Postal Service so they expect me to show up no matter what. I'm lucky I work indoors. I feel bad for the letter carriers who have to be out all day in this stuff.

Actually.......∑ f(x) ± √[f(y) + f(z)] → µ(∏) - ∆ f(z)/f(x) + Ω f(y)³

Whereas:
The function of x is equal to your post count.
The function of y is equal to the total post count of all podcast cruise threads.
The function of z is equal to the days until embarkation.

Say don't we have a stats person amongst us???

 

[kab407]

Long long time ago that we talked about Raul for the last time....

Please let we not forget Raul....

I so agree Yvet!!!

 

[jeanigor]

I didn't make the list, sigh.

You're actually #21 with 404 posts.

Everyone made the list to some level or another.

 

[tickledtink33]

Ghost town?? Perish the thought!!! There's internet on the Wonder and don't you doubt for a SECOND that some/many of these people will be posting from the cruise!!!

The only problem is the internet on the ship is quite pricey and can be agonizingly slow.

 

[Tonya2426]

Remember I'll have the porta-studio with Abba.

Oh, I forgot!!! Now we can break out in song and dance the whole way around World Showcase and pretend we are the cast of Mamma Mia. Good thing Mindy won't be there.

Whatever you say Todd.

Raul don’t be discouraged. The Man he aint so hard to understand.
Raul if you try now I know that you can lend a helping hand.
Because there’s good in every one, and a new day has begun.
You can see the morning sun if you try.
And I know things will be better. I know they will for Raul and The Man.

Well, The Man, he don’t trust you. He thinks you try to bust up all his dreams.
But The Man, he don’t know now, that you got your own crazy plans and schemes.
Well there’s good in every one, and a new day has begun.
You can see the morning sun if you try.
And I know things will be better. Oh yes they will for Raul and The Man.
Yes they will for Raul and The Man. Even though he funny he don’t understand

Ever so slightly borrowed from, Chico and the Man.

So we can wear our feather boas?

I foresee another problem:

Drunk posting.

Just like soup you need to simmer down.
