From WDW to DL With Love - January 06, 2011 part 5

[tlungstrum]

The Disney Dream is docking at 4:00 am January 4, 2011 at Port Canaveral!

I hope not! I'm scheduled to be there to welcome her in and we won't arrive till near 6:00 am.

Safe travels to all of you who are leaving soon. Unfortunately, I will be quite busy until the 5th. I have to work extra shifts on days where my office is closed for holidays and such in order to try to get everything done in time. I have recently been given increased responsibilities at work and wouldn't you know it, quarter end is on Jan 1st so I've got to try to reconcile everything and submit quarter end reports, reconciliations, etc to "close the books" before we leave. So I'm a bit stressed. Add to that the fact that I had a whole plastic bin full of cruise things that has disappeared... so I really can't wait to get on this ship and be "unreachable".

Check out the video to see how we told our kids we are going on a cruise a.k.a "going on Mickey's big ship"

Brooklyn and SmartieWDW your events have been added to the first page.

Thank you!!!

For all of those wanting to play Bunco but can't make it to the 1st sea day at 10AM we will be playing a few times throughout the cruise. I will post it on our dry erase board throughout the cruise for more dates and times to come! We are in staterooms 6558 and 6556 so it will be on either one of those room doors.

Thanks!

Well all done. Good day at work. Watched two movies. Now off to the real movies to see Little Fockers.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!
Today was kind of weird here as my DD is with her dad this Christmas. We will wait for her to arrive before we begin to open presents, so the house looks like the days leading up to Christmas rather than Christmas day itself...No wrapping paper everywhere or ribbons all over the floor, just presents wrapped neatly under the tree, around the fireplace, on the cabinets, in my trunk, in the rooms...waiting to be opened in a couple of days!
I added the bunco game to to the program and all of the PM's people have sent. In the next couple of days I will post a sample of what the program will look like and try to get it ready to be downloaded.

Remember, if you have ANYTHING you want included in the program, please PM me! I am trying to keep up on the posts, but I don't always get a chance to check.
I would also like to include pages for the FE list so could the person who is keeping that list email me a copy ( misnmik@gmail.com )?
Finally, since many of you have mentioned wanting to do something but are not really sure WHEN to schedule it, could we have a central location to post events? So far I have about 4+ rooms that people would need to check out in order to know what events are going on. Would someone be willing to let us use your door/whiteboard to post "current happenings" so that people do not have to travel all over the ship? I was thinking maybe Val (if it is okay with you) since you will have the book bag on your door already, or...??? This person would not need to be responsible for updating the events, just keeping the whiteboard. The person organizing the event would go to that location and post all of the information.

I cannot believe how quickly the time is passing now! I'm off to get one of my favorite cookies and relax!

Boxing day is tomorrow right?? If so, Happy Boxing Day!!!

How did you get that recording?

 

[CruznLexi]

What about game days on sea days? Just an idea maybe Bunco Yahtzee etc? Can beginners play Bunco?

The FE List is on the cruise website - you can snag it there. I believe changes to the FE list will be posted on the whiteboard outside Jeff & Jen's stateroom.

For those who care, the Doctor Who Christmas Special was amazing!!!

I didn't really enjoy it, and I was looking forward to it soooooo much and I was so excited about it. I was so disappointed. Our son is a Doctor Who nerd and wasn't too sure either. I must watch it again and try harder!!!

I am in the same position. I have to hand my end of quarter stuff in on January 4th and I am nowhere near done. I got most of my stats entered in a database. I need to sort out the error log and finish my call monitoring. I am off from December 31st to January 3rd, but probably will do my evaluations at home during this time.

Thank you!!!

Thanks for this. I will keep an eye out.

Well all done. Good day at work. Watched two movies. Now off to the real movies to see Little Fockers.

I so want to see this movie, but it probably will have to wait until I am back from the cruise.

I know about the Cheese and Wine meet, but unfortunately I am not in the position to bring wine as we fly in the day before and won't have time to get wine before we get on the ship. I wonder if there will be a general meet. On every Disney cruise I have ever been on, we had a meet at the Promenade Lounge at around 3:00 PM on the first day. This has always worked very well and given us just enough time to say "hi" to each other and take some group photos before going back to our cabins and get ready for the safety drill.

Do you want me to post that on the first page with you as the contact person?

I would be happy to put up a white board on my door. I can't take responsibility for posting activities I am not organizing. I would be concerned about making an error. But, I'll pickup a magnetic white board, no problem with that at all. Everyone come by 6572 and keep it updated. Val

Jeff & Jen - Could you give us more details about the wine meet and greet? I guess I missed an update on this. I think I remember it being an event we would share the DCL cost but I guess it has changed to something else? Do we know when, where, cost, what you would like to us bring in the way of bottles of wine. Sorry for being so slow - I'll blame it on the time of year. Val

It hasn't changed from a shared cost event. We have just recently heard from DCL about the event and are collecting the names for who is coming. When we hear more, we'll pass it along.
As far as the wine, it's either a wine from your region of the wordl/ country or a favorite wine.

Hey Brooklyn, Where in San Diego are you from? We live in Escondido and are right across the hall from you in Rm 6555.

For those of you who are interested in personalized photo calendars I received this groupon deal today. $20 for two must be used by Feb 15 so that will give you 3 weeks to get your cruise photos into a calendar for the year =) You won't need january since you will be making lots of magical memories while on vacation.

I have seen two times for the Dream to arrive in Port Canaveral. Does anyone know for sure what the correct time will be?
