First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise Use Multiquote, It Saves Nine

[Madi100]

Good morning everyone. Had to get up bright and early and take Emilie to a soccer clinic. Ugh, indoor soccer played on a gym floor. Madi has been playing on that same gym floor for the last four months. So, I SHOULD know that they don't play soccer on a gym floor in their soccer shoes. But, no, we get all the way there before I realize it. So, back home to get the running shoes. Madi even watched her put her soccer shoes on and didn't say anything. Oh well.

CRUISE QUESTION

Does the time zone change while we are on the cruise?

AND, while on Castaway Cay, I was thinking we'd snorkel. My dad has been on a few cruises and lent us the mouth piece and goggles. Can you rent just the flippers? Do you need the flippers? And, can anyone snorkel or do you still have to pay?

No, not on this sailing.

You can just rent the flippers. I don't recall the cost though it was less than the rental for everything. You do not have to pay to snorkel if you bring your own equipment. If you snorkel in the regular snorkel trail, you are required to wear a life vest (provided for no fee), but if you snorkel over at Serenity Beach, no life vest is required (though you are able to get one for free).

You didn't butt dial me today, unless you caught it before it rang here!

She butt dialed me in a muumuu the other day. She was in the muumuu, not me

Um, Tracy... You too?? Multi-quote, dear!!!

Do Muumuus have pockets?

Sounds like a philosophical question. Like bears/woods and trees falling in the forest...

Tomato ~ Tomato.
Escapades ~ Icecapades.
Pooh ~ Poo.
Potato ~ Potato.

With my heating bill the last 2 winters, a lump of coal would be welcome!!!

That's why I only fly Southwest! 2 bags per person!

I feel the same way. I feel like being able to take bags without worrying about paying makes my vacation more enjoyable.

Kath, you look great in the Muumuu.

I don't like dresses to start with. I bet I'm 20 or 30 pounds heavier than you are in those pictures. I'm only 5' 4" and I would look horrible in a long dress.
I think people would think that I'm pregnant.

Katherine, you do look great in that muumuu. I would also be afraid of looking pregnant. For some reason since I have had a kid I feel like everything makes me look pregnant. I am pretty sure it is mostly in my head.

Interesting. We've gotten nothing despite a quick anniversary trip next month. I wonder if its because we are staying at VWL on points?

Did you put your celebration information in at DVCmember?

Wow I can't believe the cruise is 6 weeks away!

I can't believe it either. I have made a couple of magnets for my door and I still have more work to do. I really need to decide what I am going to wear on this cruise.

If you're going to snorkel, they recommend you do it first thing bcs as the day goes on and there are more people in the water, so much sand gets stirred up that you can't really see anything.

Did anyone see the post on WDW crowds in May? Touring Plans increased their crowd levels to 8s and 9s while we are there. I'm thinking Universal sounds better and better for our 2 park days.

Do these supposed lifevests that are provided for free for the snorkel trail actually help you float? I can't swim but i'd like to snorkel a bit if I could...but won't do it without some kind of floaty device...



Wow...I had an actual cruise related question...

Have we gone into some kind of alternate dimension?

Funny, I was thinking they were the Ketel One twins!

I would definitely not trust one of those vests with my life. It's basically a blow up tube.

I am splitting my time between WDW and SeaWorld. I don't think DD would enjoy Universal quite yet...and she LOVES animals.

We do the Disney Movie Rewards, and I have saved our points for quite awhile. I thought I would share with everyone what I got, because I think it's a decent deal. For 400 points you can get skinit covers for you phones, ipods, or small electronic device. I think that's a pretty decent deal, because they cost $15. They also have laptop skins for 800 points. But, I'm thinking I want to hunt down a picture of my own. Maybe Jeff has a great picture of the Disney Wonder he can share with me (hint, hint) Or a great one of the castle.

I agree on this with the snorkel trail, but not at Serenity Beach. Anytime is fine there.

Yes it is a blow up tube, but if you blow it up too much, you cannot dive when you snorkel so it does keep you up. I wouldn't trust it in open rough water for long, but snorkeling in the trail would be fine. Remember also that you float in salt water.

Very good Brandie, a cruise question. Maybe there is an area you can wade and stick you face in the water. I wouldn't trust trying to stay afloat in the ocean with a life vest if you can't swim.

I got 3 of the emails from Disney yesterday but none of them were for my upcoming DVC point stays. They were all for my stays in which I am paying cash and either booked online or through central reservations. I have a stay booked through DU for the December DIS-A-PALOOZA and did not receive an email for that one so maybe they aren't sending them to folks who booked through a TA either.

The website went down for 'routine maintenance' early in week. I would call too. It may not be urgent right now, but why wait until it is urgent?

It looks like your computer is up and running Todd. That's a good thing.

One wonders how they got their name.
