From WDW to DL With Love - January 06, 2011 part 4

[#1Yepod]

From the way DCL has been messing around with the available staterooms on the cruise site, maybe those of you waiting for room assignments will get them soon. Oceanview was missing completely this morning, but is back tonight and the only verandah rooms are navigators. I also noticed the cat 10s are gone today. Here's hoping you all get what you want and soon.

Are you interested in a private DCL mixology tasting? Learn all about how those colorful drinks of the day are made and just who gets to name them. For some additional fun, we’ll have a Hawaiian Shirt Contest, seems to go with all those little paper umbrellas and tropical fruit.
UPDATE: DCL SPECIAL REQUEST DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN ADVISED THAT 25 MEMBERS OF OUR DISBOARD ARE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING THIS PRIVATE TASTING. THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF THOSE WHO I HAVE HEARD FROM. PM ME IF YOU WISH TO BE ADDED OR IF CORRECTIONS TO THIS LIST ARE NEEDED.

Do you know a cost yet?

Yes how much? So today I spent a great day with DW. We took a drive to a outlet mall. They had a Disney Store outlet. We got lots of good deals. Toped it off with a good dinner at Red Robin.

I love Red Robin. I love how they have so many gourmet burgers, my fav is the A-1 peppercorn, yummmm. I also had a mint choc brownie milkshake there over the summer. I'll have to get over there again soon.

Hi All, sorry for being MIA and not sorting out those who've contacted me lately about bracelets. I will be ordering next week and will contact everyone I've heard from in the last week or two. Life has just gotten in the way. Between jury duty, homeschooling, and trying to get a holiday market organized, sheesh!

Also, north Texas lunch: Carmen and I (and maybe Robin) are meeting for tomorrow at Red Robin on Mustang in Grapevine at 11:30. Ask for "Dis" if you can come.

I have sent a PM to everyone on the lanyard list with the exception of those who have already paid or have already told me how they are getting the lanyards.

If I have PM'd you and you have already told me...I appologize but could you let me know again. I'm old

Any of the options are fine - please send me a PM only to answer it - I will be really busy the next few days and do not want to miss your response.

Thanks!

Ok....I'll start with, "Yes, I am computer impaired!" (but DH can't figure this out either!)

Melissa put all of the t-shirt pictures together in post #1435. But we can't figure out the instructions. I'm using a MAC if that makes any difference. I went to VISTA, clicked on the 1st coupon, 50%, made an account, selected long sleeve shirt and couldn't go any farther. There are 3 choices for setting up your shirt....which one do you use?

I also don't understand the part ...
"The image is now on their files, 3TDZ4-DA412-3X1, so if you want to order it from them, you won't be charged the image upload fee (if there is a problem accessing it let me know and I can have you use my account password). val"

I entered that number into the search for an image and it came up with nothing.

Then I just poked buttons in frustration...that didn't help either!

Can someone please try and help me? I will not be insulted if you are VERY specific in your replies!

THANKS!!!
Barb

Barb,
I sent you PM...


NOW I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE USED VISTA...
Did your images look blurry on the screen? I cannot seem to get clear images and I wanted to know what yours looked like before you "accepted" the proof. I can "follow the bouncing ball" just fine on the website to make the shirt, but why is the image blurry?

Thanks!

ONE MORE THING...I decided to be "adventurous" today at work (that sounds so much better than "unproductive") and made a "Lifeboat Crew" sign for those of us who are still GTY. I think I'm going to make a magnet for everyone who is in the lifeboat with me...Hope you like it
Unfortunately, it is WAY too fuzzy and the colors did not come out right...I'll have to go back on Monday and be a bit more "adventurous!"

Happy weekend everyone!
~Melissa

DCL hasn't said anything definite yet, not even if they will do it. The woman I a working with is very nice and my impression is she will make it happen if the powers that be on the Wonder agree. She did say she would estimate the cost to be between 15 and 20 dollars each. I asked for tastings with the final tasting being a full drink that we can have during the hawaiian shirt contest time.
Please keep in mind nothing has been agreed to and the only info I have given them is our request and an estimated count.
If I hear something before next Fridays update will let you all know.

Sounds good to me as long as it does not interfere with brunch, CC Parties, or my tea. Well I am going to see Meganind in IMAX 3D.

Suzan your welcome to stay and visit if you'd like. We'll probably meet in the lobby of the Grand CA.


I finally got a break tonight. I have our 5 yr old niece, 3 yr old nephew and 3 yr old grandson staying with us for the weekend. Whew I'm tired after just the first evening. I'll be looking forward to work on Monday.

Hey everyone, Jeff and I took a little mini-vacation. We went out for dinner last night! It was a wine dinner at our favorite little bistro in Tampa. We were seated with another couple. Found out about half way through dinner that the gentleman was a retired two-star general. I stopped calling him Jim after that! What an amazing life he and his wife have lead!

I bet you did!!!!!!!!!! We had a marine at our table last cruise, he was amazing also, the stories he told, I could have listned to him all day and night.I thought I might pee might pants when I found out I had a fighter jet pilot sitting beside me! what a lovely couple they were.

Yes how much? So today I spent a great day with DW. We took a drive to a outlet mall. They had a Disney Store outlet. We got lots of good deals. Toped it off with a good dinner at Red Robin.

Glad you had a good day.

Mixology was 15 last cruise, I am toying with it, but we way over booked stuff to do last cruise, and ofcourse you cant cancel,well you can, but you still have to pay! My dad done my beer tasting and a friend done the tequila, that left winre and martini for me,lol, know wonder I gained 8 lbs!

When you find out when it is I will let you know.
They were pretty slow last time to get back to us.

Good Morning, Happy Cruisers!

We have a general (ret) living across the street from us. Generals and fighter pilots are 'just guys' like everybody else - i'm SURE they, too, put their trousers on one leg at a time.

A BEAR?! TAKE PICTURES! That's a little bit close for comfort, doncha think?

32 chilly degrees here, but no sign of snow. DH is wishing, of course.

Off to the gym and pool and then I guess I'll go buy some more FE gifts. I clean them out every time I go - probably should have just asked for a case the first time and been done with it.

Happy day, all!

There is a whole segment on the Dream on AOL travel. They show a little of everything. There is even a part where they show the new show being rehearsed- Disney Believe.

Goofprincess and Brooklyn- Andrew- my dance teacher from Dancing with the Crew- is there rehearsing for the new show. He is the one in black. Remember he was the dancer that did all the gymnastic stuff.

We had to miss the DIS meet but was wondering if any DISers would be at Disneyland this Sunday?

PM me if you will be around there on Sunday. We would love to meet some folks before the cruise.

Bear - well, considering that the blackberries he eats are pretty much right outside the bedroom slider, I should be able to get a picture but not yet. Actually, I have not seen it here, just DH. They move pretty fast and of course, the camera is never around. I did try to take one once when I had to wait for her/him to cross the road but it was so blurry I deleted it.

Happy Saturday everyone! A balmy 23 degrees here. But, no new snow that I can see anyway and by this afternoon it will be totally gone.
