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

[Tigfanjeff]

Good luck with that

I don't know if we're going to be on the list. I will need to check with my roommate.

Tell your roommate that I'm bringing a custom set of nipples for her wine flights.

@DCLTravler - "Red Rover" - I love it! I know exactly what you mean!

I am a terrible runner, but I do enjoy running at night on deck 4 - strange, I know! There have been several times when I have had to weave between "star crossed lovers" strolling on the deck. Haha!

I have always wanted to do a 5k at CC, but I figure the ship would have left by the time I get back.

Wait a minute!! Its a Disney sponsered event. They will wait for you. No more excuses!!!!!

We are in the midst of an ice and snow storm. Can't believe it. Schools are closed or have a delay opening. As a retired teacher I was one of the few that hated "snow days" because I knew we would be making them up in June when it was hot.

Need to start packing to go back to FL. This weather give me the push to do it.

I think that only applies to shore excursions. But its an awesome idea for getting a double dip

As someone formerly from New Jersey and now a happy Floridian, I can honestly say that snow is seriously overrated.

In any case, the website's list is once again current. I just had the first GTY conversions. I'm still absolutely amazed at the numbers of people we have on this ship. I'm starting to narrow down films for the Sci Fi nights. I'm thinking of doing 3 nights with 2 movies each night. The short list is

Star Trek - First Contact
Star Trek - Wrath of Kahn
Star Trek (JJ Abrams)
Battlestar Galactica - New Series Pilot
Serenity
Doctor Who (Not sure on which episodes yet, I'm sure Jen and John will pick a few good ones)

I'm absolutely showing the first 3 show we can let trekygirl know that Star Trek V is *NOT* a good film. I'm a huge firefly fan, so Serenity is on my list.

I'm open for suggestions though, and if we have a good interest, I can always try to find a few more nights

Anyone interested in doing a geocache hunt on CC in the afternoon? I have always wanted to try this and I know that as a Floridian, I will not be swimming in January at CC!

 

[kmitchel]

I was busy yesterday getting all my door magnets ready. It is really annoying that I can't do most of them since I don't have a room yet!

Here is one that I modified by JORDAK (he makes the best stuff)! I put in a picture that I took from CC, added our names and where we are going each day.

Cute, I love JORDAK's stuff!

TDC NAla, we were 11c and got assigned an 11c, so is mum, she has no number yet, we werent even looking for a number was looking for brunch for the zillioninth time, actually, Im pretty fed up with the whole gty thing and NEVER getting brunchm I know I can check when I get on but....

No such thinng as a terrible runner, who decides whos good and whos bad?
Your maybe slow, but only to yourself, anybody that gets there butt out and moves it gets my respect no matter of style or speed.

Now that is the ticket!

Well, funny how nice the morning was with it being light earlier but by 5:45 it was dark. Well, I would rather drive home from work in the dark than to work.

Have a good week everyone.

You have a good week too, I am glad to be away from work EVERY year when the clocks get changed(ours was last week) RTAS GO UP BY 200% AT LEAST.

No worries. It seems that 45 days out is the most common time to get rooms assigned which is not until Nov 22nd. I would not put in much effort into checking the res page until then.

I agree,Im still surprised I got a room so quick.

Another slow, early morning runner here! I am usually around a 12 minute mile so I'll just wave at everyone as they pass me . LOL

You get to check out the butts

Hello!

A lot of cruisers are runners.....does anyone enjoy yoga?

I've done a few classes on the ships on deck 7. Balance poses can be a challenge sometimes! We like to cruise in January and EVERY time, the Disney CM that teaches yoga says it's "TOO Cold or windy " to have the class on the beach at CC. He was obviously not from Iowa! So I do it by myself because I think it's beautiful, warm and the ultimate place to "Ommmm"

I'm bringing a travel mat with me for my own practice on the ship. Sometimes someone in the fitness center will check out a mat to me and sometimes they won't. I like to find a quiet place on the ship and do my own thing.

Would anyone like to join me? I was thinking of deciding on possible times when we get onboard. Maybe just have a list of interested folks and send a message around after we see the day's activities. I've signed up for so many fun things already and I also go to everything DIsney plans!!! I WILL need to schedule a moment to slow down.

And if anyone would just like to try it? I've been doing yoga for several years but definitely not a "pretzel" person! And it's for any body type . I'm 55 and a bit overweight, although working on it!...... I enjoy the stretching and calmness of the practice. I have some "classes" that are on my i-pod. And sometimes when I'm with others who don't have a pre-planned flow that they always do.......we just say "hey, let's do this pose next." So my sessions are very flexible and friendly.

I'll see if a list can be put on the first page if more then one person is interested.

I like to do yoga, not very good, but enjoy it. On the '08 PC, they had yoga on deck 7 aft at sunrise. I don't remember if it was everyday or not.

Well I saw Megamind last night. It was good, but not as good as I thought it would be. It was still enjoyable. Also saw Due Date. That was funny. Well two months from today us folks on first seating will be enjoying our first dinner.

Never done it, but would be interested in checking it out

I got this email from my brother regarding free Internet connections in Aruba for those of us that can't live without our connections!

If I don't get to see him, I think I will be in one of these places!

-----------------------------

There's a dunkin donuts/Little ceasars about two blocks from the port on the right(east) side when you go out. It's on the second floor. We go there almost every Saturday morning (old habits you know . . .).



There's a Starbucks in the main lobby of the renisance mall/hotel which is another 4 blocks in the same direction. (I've been there twice and could not get out even though the signal was very strong).



There's a second Starbucks in the strip mall across from the movie theater which is another 4 blocks in the same direction. You go over the little bridge by the mall and it's another 3 blocks. There's a Hagan Daz, a good pizza place and a chinease place in the same area (and a Taco bell if you're desperate).



If you go out of the port and take a left there is an Italian coffee place next to Quiznos. It's about a five block walk. If you wanted to get away from the crowds and all the bodies it might be a better choice as it is the opposite way from all the other traffic flow. I haven't been there yet but others have told me about it.



There's also a service that the local cellular company has that you can pay probably 10 dollars for the day and connect all over the island. I've seen the signal in the shopping areas around the port and at Dunkin and also around the shopping mall out by the hotels away from the port. They seem to have most of the main areas covered. Can't say how fast it is etc.

It's Wrath of Khan not Kahn...

Maybe I'll bring the one with the whales, that's worth it just to see Spock's attempt at learning to curse. I also like Search for Spock because of the presence of Christopher Lloyd and John Larroquette as Klingons.

It's not s-f but some Monty Python is a requirement.

 

[granmaz]

Yes!

Thank you!!!

323 people in 124 staterooms, traveling as 101 parties.
This is 13.46% of the normal guest capacity(2400) of the Wonder.
This is 11.96% of the maximum guest capacity (2700) of the Wonder.
This is 14.14% of the available staterooms(877).


I've removed *EVERYONE* who was not confirmed except newbydisney because they replied stating they still hadn't decided 100%.

I'm going to be trusting everyone to update me as changes occur from here on in. Really, its important.

I'm also going to be redoing the stateroom map now that it people are coming out of GTY into actual assignments. Please keep the PM's rolling. I am reading them and getting things done, even if it takes me a few days to reply.

I love the stats, thanks!!

 

[granmaz]

DCL transfers from the port to DL, do we have to phone to get it added or can we ask our TA's to do it?

I hate having to phone!!

 

[tinkryansmom]

Still GTY here.



This is my first time as GTY and its all consuming now... Maybe they started with the 11s and are working their way through. So hopefully not long now!

-Kay

I luv Kay!!

The waiting is killing me too!!

Just checked - still GTY.

Oh my! I also like late nights!! On previous cruises, they met at 3:00 or so! That's PM.

I'll check closer to leaving, Lori and Tami, to see if we want to meet sometime and give it a try. My plans do not include sunrise though.

PM me or post, if anyone else wants to be included in a yoga gathering.

Just checked, still in a lifeboat! I really hope this means we are getting upgraded. We are linked with two other cabins, so I am guessing that makes it less likely we will be upgraded, but hoping for a little pixie dust anyway.
