Good drink...good friends.....does life get better than this:love:


As a matter of fact, it doesn't!!!!!!!!!!:love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

A few quick question s regarding out meet...
1. Are we wearing lime green?:rolleyes1 :rolleyes1 :rolleyes1
2. Since we will not have a fish to hang our extenders on, perhaps we can hang them on the back of our chairs, and every 15 min or so, we can take turns running around the table filling them with our small gifts..... so exactly how many of us will there be??????? :dance3: :dance3:
3. Maryann- I have extra green and red ribbon to tie the TP rolls with in honor of the season- I will bring you some before the meet.:thumbsup2
4. Are you going to get the gratuity envelopes prepared before you leave your house? Will the waiters be joining us for the sightseeing part of the trip?:confused3 :confused3
5. Do you think St. Patricks holds a Bingo game that night... I wonder how big the jackpot is????:upsidedow :upsidedow
6. Does anyone know if the Pope will be coming into Manhattan that night? I'm sure I could get us a private viewing!:cool2:
7. Do you think MaryJo will make us a mini Navigator to remember our meet by I can send her a schema of our table so we will know where we will be sitting for the fish gifts pirate: pirate: ?
8. Last question for now- Is anyone wearing their propellor hats??????:upsidedow :upsidedow :upsidedow
 
Seriously- how about we all do a Christmas Ornament grab bag. We all get an ornament, wrap it and we all pick one at dinner- it would be another nice memory of our good times together.:hug: :hug: :hug: :santa: :santa: :santa:

Re :Dec 8 NYC meet

I wish we could attend but we will be in Massachusettes for a Family Christmas with my in-laws. We gert together the same weekend every year. I hope you plan another NYC dismeet for the winter or spring. We'd love to attend.

My son got a job with the State Department working as a Passport Specialist. They'll be moving to Houston, Texas Dec.4. We're very happy for them.

I'd like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We're leaving tomorrow for my sister's farm in Virginia to spend the holiday there.

Wendy, I have a feeling we will be doing these regularly! I'm sorry you can't make this one though. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving . . .

Sorry you won't be able to join us, but as Julie said, I think we'll be doing this every so often. We'll keep you posted on our next one. Good luck to your son on his new job. MJ sure could have used his experise for her son... remember that debacle:headache: Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Maryann
 
Thanks! I'm glad to hear there'll be another meet.

We simply have too much fun together not to take advantage of the physical proximity!!!!!!!!!! And wait until we post pictures -- hopefully AFTER all the pitchers of lager and carafes of wine . . . we'll have people flying in from all over for our next one once they see what enjoyable mischief we can get into!

This sounds too good to be true!!!:banana:

I'm so excited, now we have a "contact" in the passport department!!!:love:

:idea: Anytime, I have an excuse to go to NYC, I'm in!! (As long as it doesn't involve a marathon!!):confused3 :surfweb: We are now in the final stages of preparing to run (in my case, walk) the Half Marathon in WDW. I'm thinking about getting a personal trainer for the last few weeks........what do you think??

Sounds like a wise plan to me . . . the trainer can help you avoid injury, I would think.:love:
 
And don't forget the wine, JoAnn!

Thanks to everyone for Garry's birthday wishes! He had a very happy day.

Your New York plans sound so wonderful and remind of an ornament I got for Jan and Howie for Christmas which says, "Good Food, Good Wine, Good Friends". Now doesn't that just sound like us?? I know they will appreciate it!

I will be anxious to see your pictures and will send you Disney pictures.

Hopefully the next time we will be able to join you on a get together. I don't know when we have had more fun on a cruise....thanks to all of our new friends!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Happy thanksgiving to you too, Harole Ann, and to everyone. We went to the Radio City Christmas Spectacular tonight so the holiday season has officially begun for us! Tomorrow we will see Wintuk, the new Cirque du Soleil show at MSG (not MrsG!), then we have the Macy's parade on Thursday -- let the festivities begin!!!!!!!!!:santa: :santa: :santa: :santa: :santa: :santa:
 
Good news to those attending the Dec. 8 NYC Dismeet . . .I just read that the "Disneyland of bathrooms," the Charmin experience in Times Square, did re-open on Nov. 20! Believe me, this is a photo op tailor made for this particular group . . . we will stop there after John's and before we take a slightly more dignified photo op at the Rockefeller tree . . .:santa: :santa:
 
Hi everyone!

I've only read the past couple of pages, so there is a bunch to catch up on... Kind of reminds me of the days when there would be pages and pages after a couple of days -- how fun was that!!

Love the idea that you all are getting together in NYC for a post-cruise DIS Meet. Wish I could be there, too, to join you. It sounds like it's going to be a blast!

Things here are well. The kids have been going to school, and will be getting jobs. So, they're on track. I just got back from a long weekend in Yosemite w/a couple of co-workers and we had fun there. It was so beautiful!

I'm going to go catch up, but wanted to take the opportunity to wish all of you a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

This really hurts, I've stopped hunting pirates.........fine, I'm back in..........pirate:

Pirates!!!!


Congratulations! Sneaky win -- perfect. :teeth:


Saw this on another thread... soooooo true
You know your a DCL cruise addict when....
You take notes on your cruise to plan the next cruise(s) for the discount.
You're either cruising, or thinking or talking cruises or on the DIS.
When you go shopping for clothes, you think of "how would that look on Pirate's night?"
You have a Disney visa so you can get 6 months of no interest to pay for your cruise, get the $50 on board credit and get all those Disney Reward dollars just for shopping.
You see no problem with spending $5K + on a cruise but question the cost of water and booze and bring your own.
Your deck at home is referred to as the verandah.
Your closet is has more Logo items than the Treasure Ketch.
You could open a small spa with all the Steiner creams and lotions you just had to have and all those little H2O bottles of shampoo and lotion.
You pay nightly visits to the fridge for your own "midnight buffet".
You experience serious withdrawal symptoms within a week of your debarkation from your last cruise but since the next one is booked you must start planning immediately.
You think Disney Crocs are cute and don't feel silly wearing them.
You display the photos you took on your cruises on your refrigerator door as if you were Shutters.
Your family has matching outfits which feature Mickey.
You just can't sleep as well when the gentle rolling of the ocean is not putting you to sleep.
You don't need a map to find anything on Castaway Cay.
You don't understand why DCL doesn't list an over the door hanger in their packing list.
You can list 20 uses for duct tape on a cruise.
You understand that you must pack light but your pack list has 300+ items.
You just can't get that "Hey Baby" song out of your mind.
As an adult, you find no problem with wearing your pajamas or a tiara to meet friends on board for lunch.
Your pillowcase was signed by Goofy.
You have a photo taken in the lobby of the ship with 150 of your closest friends.
You keep your cruise wardrobe ready to be packed at a moment's notice and occassionally must find something to wear from the suitcase.
You wonder why people of all races, nationalities, religions, sexual and political orientations get along so well on cruises and so bad at home.
You find yourself looking at complete strangers and upon seeing their lanyards knowing they are your friends.
You own a fish extender.
You find that taking good care of yourself with regular hair & nail appointments, and the occasional massage, is no longer a luxury.
You spend your spare time designing door magnets.
You turn down opportunities to travel to resorts and to major cities if Mickey isn't taking you by ship.
You are disappointed to see the same scenery you saw yesterday out your window when you awaken.
You question the practicality of going to the supermarket, looking for a parking space, shopping for food, taking it home, storing it. cooking it, serving it, and cleaning up, when it is much easier to just order from the menu.
You have a favorite server.
You walk out your front door, stop and smile, expecting a photographer and your name announced.
You get up at 3 a.m. to reserve excursions.
Your cruise souveniers occupy way too many large boxes but you just can't throw them out.
You check the DCL web site just to see your reservation.
You get home from work and wonder why your cabin steward hasn't made the bed yet.
You call your plumber because your toilet doesn't "sound" like it's flushing properly.
You know all your favorites off the room service menu.
You're not a TA, and still have DCL's 800 numbers memorized.
You have your TA's telephone number memorized.
Your TA has your credit card number memorized.
Your co workers no longer ask where your going on vacation.
You know more about DCL than DCL does.

omg :lmao:
Hey.. I made my 600th post!!!! Too bad its all fluff and I m not going on a cruise

Know how you feel! Congrats on 600! Spending time w/friends... what better way to make 600. :)

Yes:- on other thread.

Andrew - I haven't read other thread, but hope all works out well.


I love reading of all your plans for New York. I want to see pictures! Wish we could be with you, but will be thinking of you while we are at WDW.:banana: . I willl send you some lovely Christmas pictures when we get back....at least I think I can do that. I never did get the DVD made of my photos from last summer.

Tomorrow is Garry's birthday and ds and the boys have big plans for him. Our lunch bunch is taking us out, so a big day to celebrate!:lmao:

Andrew, sending you an :angel: to bring you good health for anything you may need. Good people should not be ill. Take care of yourself!

Harole Ann - please tell Garry belated Happy Birthday from me.

So, how does 6,000+ posts make me? Nuts? Obsessed? Fanatical? :thumbsup2 :rotfl2: :love:

Um... won't even go into post number ;)
