From WDW To DL With Love - January 06, 2011

Are you sure about the time in Aruba? On the PC last year we did not have any time changes till we were on the Pacific side and then I believe after Acapolco. One thing I forgot. On the last PC cruise, we got a NBA playoff game the day after the canal. Problem was we were so far south it was hard for them to pick up the satalite.

I just pulled up a world map because I could have sworn we changed time zones in Curacao in 05. And we did: Caribbean Time Zones.

Um maybe back to back . Who is going to stop them. Name one team in the NBA that can match up to a healthy Lakers team. I will save everyone the trouble of searching for an answer. The answer is NO ONE.

I'm with ya, but fans of the Celtics and who ever LeBron plays for by then might take issue with that statement.

Jen, I confuse easy. Doesn't that map show Aruba is the same time as Florida right now? The colors are tough to make out...

I just checked my Navagators from last years cruise. Never did we go forward an hour. The first set back was the night we left Aruba, the second was the the night we left Puerto Vallarta, and the last one was the night we left Cabo.

I was talking about this season. There is no one that matches up. So they should be playing for three in a row. If Labron does indeed go to the Knicks, it us not going to help. That team needs more help than just him.

 

[JenKatt]

We're all right actually. Aruba doesn't do Day light savings time. So right now they are on the same clock as us, but in January they will be an hour ahead. You can find anything on google!

Just clicked on the link you have to change the bottom city to Florida to get the conversion!

Ain't that the truth.

Agree. Labron needs a wingman to go wherever with him, kind of like Garnett and Allen arriving at Boston at the same time to help Pierce.

Jen, I knew you would get to the bottom of this...thanks!

Glad we are on the same page. Wouldn't be cool if Labron would come play for the Lakers. If Dr. Buss is willing to pay the tax I bet we get him. Then the Lakers will dominate.

Buss wouldn't do it unless he felt that the team really ($$$) needed him, plus I don't think Kobe or Lebron want to share the same spotlight. Kobe put up with Shaq and I don't think he wants to share again.

All true. But if Labron wants a ring. And if Kobe wants another handfull of rings it just may happen. I know it is a long shot, but I will hope.

Nothing wrong with hoping!!

Sorry to all for chatting all sports here... Back to cruise stuff!!!

Hi Everyone! I have been reading this thread since we booked our PC cruise on Sept 21st, so i thought it was about time i wrote on it. It will be me, Sarah, and my husband, Ben, on this cruise. We are still waiting to make sure he can get off work, but for now everything is a go. This will be my 11th cruise, and Ben's 7th. We have one planed for Nov 1st, and a 3 day next year. I have always wanted to cruise through the PC, so when this opportunity came up, we had to jump on it. Looking forward to getting to know you guys!!

Welcome aboard! Where does your family member cast member work at?

Welcome aboard! Where does your family member cast member work at?

She works as a housekeeper for the Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Cool. I work monorails. Being a cast member definitely helps offset the costs.

It definitely does! It's the only way i could have gone on all these cruises. The discount is awesome!

It occurred to me that SOME of the things we might be signing up for in the months ahead(i.e. Secret Mickeys, a scrapbook class (if someone decides to lead one) or who knows what all else might come up in the next YEAR!) will require some coordinating.

Perhaps it would be better for Jeff if each activity has its own "coordinator" who keeps track of who's signed up and of communicating any pertinent information to the participants. Then that person could be in charge of updating a spreadsheet or list or whatever and sending that to Jeff periodically so Jeff only has to replace the existing with the new.

Otherwise I'm thinking there could be a whole lot of updating going on that Jeff would be responsible for keeping track of. If we end up having a lot of activities, that could be a HUGE job for one person to be in charge of.

Also, I know there was some discussion about whether to "schedule" FE gifts or not, and at some point we will probably need to decide that among other things. But just to add my 2 cents, I'm thinking maybe it's too early to decide some things like that. Over the next few months there could be dozens of families who join our group and some here who end up deciding NOT to cruise and that might drastically affect the preferences expressed by the group as a whole.

I'm just as excited and eager as everyone else to get started planning activities, but I'd hate to have people who join the group, for example a whole year before we sail feel like they never had any say in anything.

Again, I'm just making a suggestion. Everyone is free to (gently, please) disagree, but I wanted to put it out there for discussion.

How would it be if we put "sign ups" on hold until the final payment date in September 2010? By then, either people would have made their final payment or dropped out. Then a sign up would have some committment - and the list wouldn't require a million changes, and yet people would still have 4 months to prepare for whatever they were going to participate in.

I am for this. It gets a little over whelming to try and worry about this when you already have two other trips to worry about.

Ah, if is not going to bectge Buckeyes, who cares. Just kidding. I hope Ohio St. is there but it would make for a fun gathering.

Go Buckeyes!!!

Welcome aboard! Where does your family member cast member work at?

Jeff, Mommaluvsdis (Denise), her DH, my DH and I will be in WDW from October 17th to October 31st. We will be staying in a 2 bedroom villa at OKW. Any chance of meeting up?

LindaBabe, if you are interested Chewy Too and Sadie are going on this trip with us and have decided to try and do a blog about it. It will be on the same website. If anyone else is interested and wants the website PM me.
