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

[Andrew DEREK UK]

One of my friends on the Passporter Boards (Am I allowed to say that ???) has bought me home a Kids Navigator from the 11 night Med cruise that's just finished. She's going to mail it out to me early next week so I'll try and post it up here if I can so that the kids can start their planning as well. I'll probably get Josh to post it into the Tween/Teen forum as well.

Great idea

Hi all!! I'm new over here on this board. I'm normally just on the Weddings board but I thought I'd come over and say Hello since I will be traveling on the 11-night cruise on July 28. This is my first Disney cruise so I'm really looking forward to it!!

Any "must sees" or tips for my first Disney cruise??

WELCOME, a lot of information is on post 10, page 1.

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

I actually havent gotten married yet! Our wedding date is next April and we're getting married at WDW So I dont have too much wedding shower experience yet but I'm sure hers will be delightful!

Thanks for the welcome. I really cant wait! I'm trying to catch up on this board but it's rather large

Please look for yourself in the list below - if you do not have a tagline listed, it is because you need to post so i can see it. Or, pm me with it. Also, there are many listed below that have only posted once or twice, and may not be on our cruise. If they don't speak up now, I will not include them. If we want to put this into a design, which is doable, I need to know who all to include. I also need to know which is your favorite. Once I have the master list, I will start putting it into a shape. I hope to use something cute, like a mickey head shape inbetween each one. I will save it as a word doc, and try to post it. then we can either have someone commision this, or we can each print it out ourselves and use iron-ons.

Also - if you have been tagged since this list was created, please let me know, I will update you in the list.

Done. I can't see why not.

You're right. I bet Laura noticed it. Hi Laura.

Carrie,

Can you change my tag, too? I think us nutty teachers need to be represented (and the tag IS true!!)

Thanks,

Of course. You teachers are nutty.

Hello everyone,

Just letting you know I'm still here. By the time I ketchup there isn't any time left for me to post.

Harole Ann
We'd love to meet for drinks before the Magic Fountain. Has a time been set yet?

Does anyone know how far it is to the fountain from the Gran Marina Hotel?

The reviews of the excursions are interesting. Not what I expect from Disney but I'm glad they will have had lots of time to straighten everything out by the time we get there.

It's sad to think that the first 11 day Med cruise is coming to an end tomorrow. But that means we are one cruise closer to going ourselves

Congratulations to all the pirates out there.

Sandra

I have pages to go to ketchup, but whatever time we can meet for drinks and get to the fountain --- anyone have an idea??

This is about the DISmeet, trying to accomodate everyone....how many people go to the late seating character breakfast....in my house we don't really worry about that one.....although, if you do want to go you could just leave when you needed to??

We always go to late seating for character breakfast.

I actually haven't gotten married yet! Our wedding date is next April and we're getting married at WDW So I dont have too much wedding shower experience yet but I'm sure hers will be delightful!

Thanks for the welcome. I really cant wait! I'm trying to catch up on this board but it's rather large

Oh my name is Marcy. I'll be traveling on the cruise with my mom, Carol

HI Marcy.. You are living one of the many dreams I have for my daughter- (only almost 13)- to get married at WDW. She has been there every year since she was 8 months old. Everytime we pass the Wedding Pavilion, we look down at it from the monorail and say.... we've got have your wedding there!!! We wish you and your fiance so much luck and happiness as you begin this amazing year of planning and shopping and dreaming!!! Can't wait to meet!!!

Cool - Updated them. I'm just going back to the original post and updating everyone's preferences in Blue. Hopefully in the next few days everyone that wants to participate will have replied.

You're kids are just too cute. I have to get my kids onto the tween thread so they can introduce themselves. Of course that would mean they would have to pull themselves away from Guild Wars and AOE when they get their play time.

Sugar picks Apprentice finalists

Spoliers to read highlight the text:

Simon and Kristina survived the whole series.

Sir Alan Sugar has selected Simon Ambrose and Kristina Grimes as the finalists who will battle it out to be the winner of The Apprentice.
Katie Hopkins was also picked but dropped out when she asked for time to decide whether to move her family to London, provoking Sir Alan's ire.

Tre Azam and Lohit Kalburgi were also axed during the semi-final.

Simon and Kristina will be competing in the final next Wednesday to win a £100,000-a-year job with Sir Alan.

When Sir Alan first selected 31-year-old Katie as a finalist she promised to move her children from Exeter to London.

But when pressed on the issue she said she would have to phone her parents, who had been looking after her two children.

Argumentative and difficult

In his trademark curt manner, Sir Alan replied: "I haven't got time to wait for you to make a phone call."

She then made the decision to quit, saying: "I don't want to make a fool of you or me. I think it's more important to get the courtesy to have my plans in place, so I'll have to stand down."

Cambridge graduate Simon, 27, and pharmaceutical manager Kristina, 36, a mother of one, had to impress Sir Alan's advisors, Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford, to reach the final as they were grilled on their desire to achieve great things at Amstrad, the company he founded.

Later, Sir Alan told Tre: "You've got something but my colleagues find you argumentative and difficult. You need to grow up more. With regret, you're fired."

Lohit, who was fired next, went on to tip Simon as the winner but admitted he was angry his rival had made it further than he had.

"To give Simon his due, he is super-duper intelligent, really personable, and a fun guy who you would like to have a drink with," he said.

"But if you look at his actual career and business skills, he just doesn't have it. Tre and I carried him through so many tasks. I think that if Katie hadn't resigned, it would definitely have been her and Kristina in the final."

I keep asking them to post, they did one Sunday, when it was raining, but they always have something to do, It worked well fro them in the past as they met up with pen friends as soon as the get onboard.
