July 28, 2007 - "Rome-ancing the Mouse Cruisers" -11 days! Part 2

[salliep]

Geez.




We would be interested in this, too. We're currently booked through DCL for La Cinta.
HI Brian- I that makes 4 families interested in a private van to La Cinta, or any beautiful beach if someone knows a better one- now we just have to figure out who to get in contact with, exactly how many of us there will be, and if it will be worth it for you all to jump off the DCL one.
I'll take suggestions- this is a big responsibility- thats why I put my family in ANDREW'S WISE HANDS !!!
As a MAJOR PIRATE ( one who innocently was named that without even knowing why or how- i thought it was just because everyone liked men ..I insist we all wear those glow in the dark necklaces when we meet at the fountain

I cannot believe you guys haven't mentioned 'Amazing Race.' It has really sparked my DDs interest in travel (and made our upcoming Med trip not so scary to them).
Love Amazing Race:

WHEW! Now that that run is over - on with the chit chat.

Now is anyone else finding it funny to write Will Smith? I keep getting a visual of The Prince of Bel Air instead of Orlando - And he's just blooming gorgeous.

And on that note - DD20 went to see POC 1, 2, & 3 at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. They want me to go see AWE (3) but I hate to drive down there. Am I nuts?

That is so funny - I was totally thinking of The Prince of Bel Air and couldn't figure out what the heck he had to do with a pirate
Thanks for cluing me into that one - and yes he is blooming gorgeous. But, I'm a pretty big fan of Mr. Depp's too

I'm in class and my students have work time - they have a giant project due tomorrow. Is it bad of me to be checking the disboards - I think so!! Oh well, I just keep minimizing the window when they come up to ask me a question

Just talking to a friend and me insisted on having adjoining rooms so there goes any chance of us upgrading!

DUMMY! DUMMY! DUMMY!

Notice they are in all caps?

More for me.

Don't give up hope . . . you could both be upgraded . . .

 

[bellelinus]

Well, we like staying on deck 5, less traffic, midway to everything. We gave up our deck 5 room when we downgraded. I would be happy, if we got it back. I just called DCL and they said soon, soon, soon. Lucky dog.

Yes, with two girls in the Oceaneer Lab, it looks like a wonderful location. What category were you in before you downgraded? Maybe DCL will be kind enough to give you back your room. The ship can't be full because they still have the cat 12 deal . . .

Ok, spill the beans, who is your TA - Disney specialist? I never get a TA, I tend to want to do everything, but my dad keeps saying to go through a TA because of the benefits - they do all the work, etc. I need to start writing down names for next time.

We were category 11 before and usually try to get a room aft deck 5.

Well, they'd be crazy not to give you at least that, if not better!

I don't think I'm supposed to post info like this, so I will PM you.

All right Kidcoos3: help me out with your name ok?

I think that is so cool - hiding from your kids....what a wicked mind! I like you already!

As for me - I hve to pick up DD 14 from school and have to tear myself away. But I'll be back soon. Have fun all!

My name is Leslie. I used to call my kids my kidcoos and there are 3 of them - therefore, kidcoos3. The kids I'm hiding from are anywhere from 18 to 50 - so they are probably hiding things from me too

I love the restaurant idea - but I have 3 kids - not sure their palate is worth big bucks - not actually sure that my husband's palate is worth big bucks either so, we'll see. What is everyone else with kids thinking??

Good news for me today -- the only thing I had actually booked on the Med cruise was a private driver for the LaSpezia stop . . . I researched all kinds of things (how to get to Florence and Pisa by train, how to rent a car and drive there myself, etc.) and had decided that with that strange port if I wanted my girls to see Florence AND Pisa I would have to hire a driver. At any rate, I had the driver for Aug. 14, and reservations at Accademia and the Uffizi. I emailed last night to see if I could get the same for Aug. 4 now that I am on this cruise, knowing that it was (relatively speaking) last minute . . . and found out today that they can drive me and I now have reservations for what I wanted to see on Aug. 4. Then I found out later last night that I was assigned a secret porthole room . . . so I'm feeling lucky indeed!

You may not feel so lucky when you find out that 4 of my boys, 25, 21, 21and 18 are also in a secret porthole room.....most likely right next to you!! (They really are good kids) (no really...they ARE good kids)

So you booked CAT 12 and you know your room#? I don't know mine yet

 

[disneylover5]

Crap, I can't get into my reservations to see if I got a room assignment!

I can't either...I called and the two GTY I have have not yet been assigned.

 

[disneylover5]

Don't try to sneak in, Andrew . . .

PIRATE!!!!

Cool for 4,000...just the other day I got 2,500!!

CONGRATS!!
Lisa

 

[disneylover5]

NOpe - it was Julie! Major pirate ! 1 1


CONGRATS! WILL SMITH!

Okay, I do not get the whole Will Smith thing......soemone please explain?

 

[LynnTarrant]

Joanne,

I think they are trying to mix us up with this time business. They're trying to confuse us so they can get all the !!!!

Just when we think they're asleep, one of them posts!!!!

What like this!!!!

No wonder they're so tired all the time............

Tell me about it but I think late school meetings have more to answer for than the DIS

24- OUR FAVORITE !! Our daughter is not allowed to even step foot in the den when it is on...WE only tivo it- can stand to even wait for the commericials... We didnt see the last one yet due to my cat, but its on this weekend's list.. I wouldnt even look at the newspapers for fear of reading about it.. another to talk about on our meets!!

Another 24 fan here

So excited we only booked two days ago, didn't think we would make it,there are 7 in our party and it was difficult to get a date that suited everyone.
Let me introduce everyone
me - Jo ,4th Disney cruise, 18th cruise in total
husband - Brian , same cruise history as me
my niece - Maria , 2nd Disney cruise
her husband - Richard ,2nd Disney cruise
daughters - Harriet , Phoebe,Hermione ,2nd Disney cruise

My husband and I are from the north of England, my niece and her family are fron Cambridgeshire, we will be flying from three airports to meet up in Barcelona to board the ship.

Have not read through all the posts yet but sure I'll find the answer to all my questions.

Yay more Brits Welcome, look at my tag it's the Brits cruise

I'm so addicted. I didn't catch the first season until they did a rerun midseason during Christmas. Since then I have been hooked. Last night was crazy. A flash forward. Who was in the coffin? How can Christian Shepphard be alive? Who's on the other end of the phone? Who is Kate going home to? Why does Jack want to go back to the island? Walt! Why didn't Charlie just join Desmond and escape that way? Why didn't Charlie swim through the porthole? Why doesn't that russian guy ever die? Is there a parallel universe/alternate reality? Why did Ben take Alex back to her mother? Why was the episode called "Through the Looking Glass"?

Love Lost too can you avoid spoilers we are way behind you!!!!

Those were the exact questions we were asking. Our guesses:
In the coffin, Lock he's the only one no one would want to see because he tried to keep them from leaving the island.
On the phone, Kate
Kate going home to Sawyer
Go back to the island because Jack thinks they were never supposed to leave and now things aren't going well for him so he wants to go back.
Desmond told Charlie that he had to die for Claire to be saved so he didn't want to save himself if it would keep Claire from being rescued.
That was all we could come up with the other questions didn't have any logical answers. However given the history of the show none of our guesses will be correct. That's what keeps us all watching.

S

See above please!

Actually - I think you are just miffed - you were fluffing out and I sneaked in with a valuable contribution!!!

Anyhow - it was you who started it !!!

Andrew she does have a point, you wouldn't catch any of us cheating like that


Well I've caught up now I'll leave it to you all across the pond, one more school day then a week's holiday so I can post all day!!!!!!(specially as Helen and Andrew are away gotta keep the Brits end up).
