Hey! July 30th, 2005 cruise to Mexico DISfriends!

B - Beat Street, Buena Vista Theatre
C- Cove Café
D - Diversions
E - Elevator, engine room
F - Flounder's Reef Nursery
G - Goofy's Pool
H - Helmsman Mickey (I think that's what the statue in the Atrium is called)
I - Internet Café
J - jolly pirate
K - ketch (Treasure)
L - Lumière's
M - Mickey's Pool, Mickey anything really...
N - navigator
O - Oceaneer Lab/Club
P- Palo, Parrot Cay, Pinocchio's Pizza, Promenade Lounge
Q - Quiet Cove Pool
R - Rockin' Bar D, Roy O. Disney Suite
S - Scoops, Studio Sea, Sessions
T - Topsider Buffet, Treasure Ketch
U - umbrella
V - Vista Spa
W - Walt Disney Theatre, Walter E. Disney Suite
X - eXcursions desk?

Any other suggestions, changes, additions, deletions?

By the way Lisa, there looks to be a bad storm heading out of Hemet toward you. Batten down the hatches!

Hi
We're here exhausted it's 2am at home but safe and sound and lookslike we'll be able to stay on the boards, speak to you all tomorrow. Hey Lisa we're in the same time zone!!

Just realized it is going to be tough to get our formal wear onboard. Don't necessarily want to pack these in a garment bag. Would think it wouldn't be much fun carrying them on and holding them for hours before we get in our rooms. Guess we could have them dry cleaned once on board. Ramble, ramble . . . . . .

The best news came today in the mail. Last June (on our anniversary no doubt) Shawn was stopped at a traffic light and a gentlemen driving a SUV smashed into the back of his car doing 50mph. Didn't even brake - apparently fell asleep at the wheel. This totaled Shawn's new two month old car, along with three other cars. Won't go into the details. The car was replaced and a small settlement was reached because he wasn't seriously injured (luckily). Well, we can only guess that the other folks who were injured put up a fight. In today's mail was a nice middle five figure check as an ammendment to our settlement. A year later and we had no idea at all. What a wonderful surprise. Our trip just got alot better! Sorry, had to share.

Lynn,

Glad to hear you arrived safely!!I can't believe that next week at this time we'll be sailing off into the sunset

Macbaby

I love your photo idea--I just bought disposables for the kids and wondered to myself what kind of pictures I would be getting!! Great idea--thanks for sharing!!

Leslie

What a nice surprise for you

Back to orgainzing stuff to pack...

[LiserAnn]

Are these the movies playing in our staterooms or at the theatre?

Theatre!

Hi
We're here exhausted it's 2am at home but safe and sound and lookslike we'll be able to stay on the boards, speak to you all tomorrow. Hey Lisa we're in the same time zone!!

Welcome to California Lynn and Keith!!!! We're happy to have you...now get some rest!!!!!

 

[jfis1020]

GOOD MORNING! It's 1:00 a.m. in muggy, hazy Indiana. I just returned from my Reds games. DH remained in Cincy for tomorrow's games. I am beat, but couldn't resist a trip on the boards!!

Debi Aren't you in the p.m. group for Frank's tour? He has a "Dominick" down with Lynn, Keith, and David's family. He e-mailed David to see if the trolley was o.k. with him, but said he hadn't received a response (although David did e-mail me and was perfectly fine with it). I just want to make sure I don't upset anyone with the "trolley thing"!

Lynn and Keith Welcome to the USA!! I hope you are resting right now (like I should be!!)

Bill? He's being awful quiet???

Lucy You sound like you cook just like me!!

Macbaby love the ABC thing. Might have to copy that if you don't mind!!!

Leslie I am thinking we could just move the Scoops party to the Walt Suite.........you have upgraded to that now haven't you!! That's a great treat, but I am most thankful that Shawn and the others weren't hurt!

Lisa and Liz I'll need a sweatshirt at the Dodger game Monday????

Nite all!!!!

 

[kndyglr]

Hi Jenny,

It looks like it's supposed to be in the mid 60's Monday night in LA...I think it is cooling off a bit for the next week. It's in the 80's all next week. Enjoy the Dodger game!! Have a safe trip!

Liz

 

[jlawall]

WTG Leslie & welcome to America, Lynn!! :thewave:

Bill has been on the beach the last few days, we have been enjoying really nice weather here on the East Coast! I'll tell him to check in soon!!

The countdown continues......

 

[lwilliam]

Congrats Leslie! Upgrading to the Walt Disney Suite is NOT a bad idea!
We would then have a GREAT place to meet - I can always bring a cone
of ice cream along

Lynn and Keith: welcome to America! We are one day closer
to meeting you guys....at Whitewater Snacks on Friday afternoon, around
5 pm, right? Good luck with the baseball game.

Jenny: very funny: I made a perfectly good bowl of cold cereal this
morning, I'll have you know!

macbaby: I love the A,B,C idea! I'll try to work on it today if there would be more.....I really, really like it.

Could SOMEONE please wish me luck today....I'm taking the teenager for a haircut...I'm as nervous about this as I was for Tyler's surgery. Why am I taking him? because I don't trust him to get one on his own, OK?!!!!

[macbaby]

Any one know where I can find current copies of the Navigators?

 

[jfis1020]

Please do!
any one have 1, 2, 3's?

1 tequilla, 2 tequilla, 3 tequilla, FLOOR!!!

Sorry! Couldn't resist!!!

How about just photographing the hidden Mickeys (with the kids in the pix). You could count those!

 

[LiserAnn]

1 tequilla, 2 tequilla, 3 tequilla, FLOOR!!!

Jenny-OMG, that was too funny!!!!

macbaby-you can get navigator's on Deb Wills site. They're from the May 28th cruise and I've heard they seem to change a tad for each cruise, but in general they'll have the info your looking for. She also has the Navs for the kids clubs. The website is www. allearsnet .com (just without the spaces). Click on the DCL tab and you'll see them there. You can view them in either .pdf or .jpg form.

 

[DisneyMom13]

Jenny - Just to clarify, my DH is Dominick a/k/a Micco (nickname). And you are too funny, getting ready for those margaritas girl!!

Lynn & Keith - Welcome to the good ol US of A. We are glad you had a safe trip.

Leslie That is wonderful news, but I guess the real Godsend is that Shawn is ok.

6 days till our cruise, 4 days till we leave. Just finished a tough week and am getting a chance to enjoy a little sun in the backyard today. Boy, do I need it. DH and I have been talking about the trip this afternoon, and we are just so excited to see new places, meet new people. We know cruising with this group is DEFINITELY going to be a great time, and I will bring back lots of pics for my scrapbook.

I start packing tonight. We will be bringing a laptop with us, so will be active on the board through the cruise (hopefully).

Again, to those who are journeying soon to the west coast, Godspeed and enjoy your journey!!

[jfis1020]

Well, I am just about packed. I still have to run to town as DS is one day short on meds!!

I still need to iron on the t-shirt transfers for our t-shirts and make the kid's their travel bags of things to keep them out of my hair on the plane!

OMG! I have had the worse headache today. I know I have myself all keyed up! DH keeps telling me I need to just relax. Can't! I am so excited!

Bob Do you have Lucy's bags packed??? I'd be afraid of what my DH would pack OR should I say what he might NOT pack!!!

 

[jfis1020]

Well.............. Bags are packed, car is loaded, kids are asleep, and I am wired! I am going to iron the t-shirt transfers and try to get to sleep. We leave here at 6:45 a.m. for the Indy airport!

To all of my newly found friends........ I can't wait to meet you all! I will officially be disconnected when we leave, no laptop in this house! I will try to check in before we leave, but if not.........see you on the MAGIC!!

 

[jlawall]

Safe travels, Jenny!!

Who's next?....Lucy?

 

[LiserAnn]

Here's to a safe and uneventful trip out to California! See you in a few days... (OMG, I can't believe it's almost here!)

 

[jfis1020]

Just for the record..........it is 4:30 a.m. and I CANNOT SLEEP! So, one more spin on the Dis!


See you all at the terminal if not sooner!

Lynn See you tonight at the game!!!
