Halloween on Oct. 31, 2002 Wonder?

[taswira]

Okay, folks - New question here: How many of you on our Halloween Wonder (adults and or kids) plan to participate (as in SING) at "Family Karaoke" at <I>Studio Sea</I> or at "Krazy Karaoke" at <I>Wavebands</I>? And if so, do you know which song you want to sing?

 

[andicat]

Hi everybody! It has been a while since I checked in. I am way behind on the goings-on. I hope to do karaoke tas! I want to do a Cher song if they have any. My voice is suited for that I think. To update you the bad news is I went to the doc and was told I may need to have my appendix removed! I do not want to do that before the cruise. Hey tas I love your new sig pic with Mickey. I know you are married but your DH almost never travels with you so it must be tough getting a date! Mickey always looks happy and smiling and has perfect manners. That's about the best escort a girl could ask for!

 

[taswira]

Sorry about your appendix, Andicat. I still have mine. How long does it take to recover? If it needs to come out, I would think it should be done BEFORE the cruise! As for my picture: Don't tell Mickey, but the REAL love of my life is CHIP. I pursue him on the ship, on CC, at the parks and character meals . . . So does anyone else plan to participate in the Karaoke activities?

Hola

If watching can be considered "participating"..... then count me in !!!

 

[taswira]

Watching? Oh, come on, rere - give it a go! Or you could do as I do. You could sit on the sidelines and sing all the songs during karaoke, while <I>someone else</I> is performing using a mike! Truth be told, I have always wanted to do karaoke on the ship, but <I>Wavebands</I> can get really thick with cigarette smoke by the time it starts, and I find my voice getting hoarse and weak. Besides, they do the "shooters" thing there and I doubt I could handle that! It's hilarious to observe, though. I would have tried <I>Studio Sea</I>, but that was "Family Karaoke" and I was solo. I think I'll at least take a look there this time. I only asked the question because karaoke <I>seems</I> to be very popular, so I thought a few Halloween Wonder DISers might be up for it!

Hola Taswira.....The smoke will give me a headache.......it might be fun to check out the family thing though...at Studio Sea ?

 

[taswira]

Hi, rere! Yes, Family Karaoke is at <I>Studio Sea</I>. No smoking allowed. As for the goings-on at <I>Wavebands</I>, it's very entertaining so I <I>try</I> to catch the various events, but that smoke <I>really</I> irritates me so I don't usually last too long in there. It's too bad they can't have a better ventilation system and more separation of smokers and non-smokers. Oh, well . . . We can always hope there won't be many smokers on the cruise.

For those of you on our cruise who have indicated they will be at MNSSHP on Oct. 27 - - 2disneywego has posted about a DIS Meet as follows:

"<I>This started on another board, but we're asking here too.
We're trying to get as many people as we can for a mini-meet during MNSSHP on 10/27/02, around the Buzz Lightyear ride at 9:30 pm.</I>"

If the link works, the post is <a href="http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=2349966#newpost">HERE</A>. I'm going to try to make the mini-meet. My DN and I have ressies at LTT at 7:05.

 

[andicat]

COOL! I'll be there!

 

[taswira]

Bump!

So what is everyone doing to get ready? Does everyone (except me!) have their costumes decided? Are you starting to pack yet? My problem is that I am in Idaho until Oct. 15, and nearly everything I am taking on the cruise is at my other residence in Florida. So I have to <I>wait</I> to pack! But I have my PDA full of lists - packing checklist, Halloween Wonder DISer List, ToDo list, expense list, etc. The DIS list I have posted is also on my PDA that I'll be bringing.

 

[kimber79]

Wow Tas, you are way organized!! To have so many lists going already, and we are still over a month out.............. actually, I have had somewhat of a "to bring" list going, but this is our 1st cruise and I would hate to forget anything all these wonderful DIS members have suggested to bring with!

I am still racking my brain as to what to do for costumes!? As for packing, there is no way I can be started with this feat yet! The seasons are soon to change here though, so I may as well put clothes in suitcase versus pack away for winter

Have a WONDERful weekend!!

Kim

Is anyone else going with us? If so, we would love to hear from you!

Hello, I have been lurking on this thread for awhile and finally worked up the courage to post as I am a lurker at heart. My sister and I will be on this cruise also. We are taking advantage of the $99 special and thought Halloween would be a fun time to cruise as we were planning on WDW and MNSSHP anyway. We are going to do MNSSHP Sunday the 30th and wanted to thank the poster who mentioned the AP party as we didn't know anything about but have since changed our plans so we could attend. I wanted to thank everyone who has posted as I have learned so much from all of you but I do have a question if I may ask? Do I need our birth certificates for this cruise like the 7 day?
I have looked on the board but have not been able to find the answer. We are looking forward to the trip and we can't wait for a few relaxing days.

Hola Rose,

I lurked for almost one year !! Anyway, You will need the same documentation to board the ships, according to the info I received from DCL. Glad you are joining us !!

 

[taswira]

<B>Welcome, Rose</B>! May I add you and your sister to our online <B><a href="http://www.primateprojections.com/travel/DISlist.html">Halloween Wonder DIS List</A></B>? Do you have early or late seating for dinner? Are you willing to be in our DISer group photo? Costume is encouraged but not required.

I believe I was the poster who mentioned the AP party, which runs from 5 to 7 just before MNSSHP opens to others. I can't recall the dates for the AP party other than the 27th, and I can't find my Mickey Monitor at the moment. But if I mentioned the 30th for AP then it is included. I guess you know that a current annual pass is required in addition to separate entry pass for MNSSHP.

And YES, you still need your birth certificates, original with raised seal, unless you have a valid passport.

<B>Kim</B> - I'm an obsessive organizer, always have been. But I don't pay much attention to what most posters advise to bring or not bring, because my "system" is tried and true. I use or wear everything I bring and I never wish I <I>had</I> brought something that I didn't. If I ever change it, it would probably "break" my "system." However, I <I>have</I> added Catch-A-Bubbles to my list! And I know what you mean by change of seasons, since I am currently in IDAHO.

 

[taswira]

<B>Rose</B> - They are NOT having the AP pre-party on the 30th. It is only on the 20th and the 27th. I still haven't found my Mickey Monitor, but the info was at the bottom of the <B><a href="http://www.primateprojections.com/travel/DISlist.html">Halloween Wonder DIS List</A></B>. So are you still going on the 30th, or did you mean that you had changed your plans to the 27th?

Hola
What are Catch A Bubbles ???

 

[taswira]

<B>rere</B> - momto2dkids posted about them some time ago on this thread. Quote from her post when <I>I</I> asked what they were: "<I>From the back of label-"Catch-a-Bubble is a breakthrough in bubble technology. These bubbles magically harden when they come in contact with air making them stronger and longer lasting! For best results, blow the bubbles slightly upwards into the air and let them harden for a few seconds before touching them. Then try catching and stacking them to form a pile of bubbles!" They are 100% water soluble and non-toxic. I think they are made by Spin Master Toys, www.spinmaster.com. I have seen them at Toys-R-Us, Walmart, and various drug stores. We found ours at Costco several months ago in a pacage of 8 or 10."</I>

My sister said she thought she saw them at WalMart in Daytona Beach (my other home), so I'm going to try to get some when I get down there.

Yes, you may add us to the list. We have early seating for this cruise. I'll check with my sister on the photo but for now I'm thinking she'll say no. We won't be in costume. We are staying at the BCV before the cruise and flying down so I don't know where I would put a costume as I am not a light packer.

Thank you for the info. I had my dates confused. We will be doing the party on the 27th- the day we fly in and we already have our AP vouchers purchased at the Disney Store and will activate them when we arrive.

And YES, you still need your birth certificates, original with raised seal, unless you have a valid passport

Thank you my sister asked me about this yesterday and I was driving myself nuts trying to find the answer. I hope I've answered all the info for the list But forgot to tell you that my sister's name is Janet(32) and I'll turn 34 on Nov 4.

Rose

Thanks,

I'll try to find some.

I am getting pretty excited about going !!!

<B>Rose</B> - I added you and your sister to the <B><a href="http://www.primateprojections.com/travel/DISlist.html">LIST</A></B>. Please check it for errors. Everyone is listed alphabetically by their user name. I also listed you for MNSSHP. I am showing the two of you, plus my nephew and I, for the AP pre-party. Was there anyone else on this thread going to the <B>pre-party</B>? I don't want to miss anyone! Also Rose, I don't know if you read this entire thread, but someone else is organizing a DIS mini-meet that night at MNSSHP, in front of Buzz Lightyear at 9:30 p.m. I plan to attend. My (adult) nephew and I are having dinner at LTT at 7:05. BTW - If my nephew doesn't break free from his airline schedule to attend MNSSHP (He is already taking off for the cruise!), I will bring someone else to it, but I don't know who just yet.
