Here is a summary of things we've discussed (most assuredly incomplete, but here goes)

Lime green: Official color of the DIS. People use ribbons, Mickey paint chips (Home Depot), t-shirts, etc., in lime green to recognize each other (this is done at parks and cruises

Recommendations:
Lime green ribbons: Put lime green ribbons or have something lime green during Cruise and at meets prior to cruise (AnnaS - Anna)
Glow necklaces: Preferred color lime green, however, any color would work - to wear when we meet Friday night and/or when we check in on Saturday. (salliep - Sallie)
Local gift bag worth $15-$20 with something from your area - to be exchanged at DIS meet
Fish extenders outside staterooms
Small, nominal gifts for fish extenders

DIS Meet: Sunday, Promenade Lounge (Deck 3) at 09:30
Group Picture: Location/Date/Time TBD

Photos of fellow DISers cruising: Page 529, Post 7933 (disneylover5 - Lisa)

Nametags for the lanyards (disneylover5 - Lisa)
Lisa updates this list as she gets new information

Meet before the cruise
Meet at the Magic Fountain for the 22:30 show.
Drink (or two) at the Grand Marina hotel near the ship before the Magic Fountain mee

List of Pirates (Andrew the Pirate Keeper)
There are several posts with the list, but you can find a good list at post #8019
(btw: WMRegina gave me that weebles wobble tag - she would laugh at knowing that is my pirate name)

Important components of the Packing List (Sandaneli - Sandra)
List of things to do:
*Make fish extender, buy fabric, figure out pattern actually sew
*Make door decoration, buy magnet, download pictures or "scrapbook" image somehow put image on magnet, test magnet with image attached
*Buy green glow necklaces
*Buy lime green ribbons to tie on clothes
*Buy extra TP to start rolling. Let's see 2 people times 6 shore visits = at least 12 rolls, then there is the supply for those not bringing or rolling
*Purchase/make or otherwise acquire hundreds of things for fish extender disboard gifts.
*Purchase extra luggage for said fish extender gifts
*Get part time job to pay for hundreds of fish extender gifts and overweight luggage charges.
*Purchase 2-4 white tshirts and iron on transfer sheets for printer to make 2 tshirts to wear on cruise to be identified by other dissers. (extra shirts are for mistakes)
*Make tshirts and then make them again when the first ones don't come out because I will have forgotten to reverse the printing. (I know me).
*Locate and purchase items of local interest for grab/swap at DisMeet.
*Print out family photos, coordinate with names and make booklet with names matched to faces so I don't totally blow it and call people by the wrong names.


Other Notes:
JoAnn will be providing TP rolls to those who sign up. I imagine her stateroom will look something like this when she unpacks:

And for the major pirates there's always

(Thanks, Justine for getting this pic)


And especially for the DISers

And we'll be well prepared for any church, right?

(This actually reminds me of the time that I got the bright idea to dress my ds as a mummy for Halloween when he was in 3rd grade (I think). I wrapped him up in toilet paper, and when I ran out, I used paper towels. I'll never forget the image of him sitting in the car on the way to school with his arms sticking out (think of the little brother in his snow suit in the movie "A Christmas Story"), and then shaking his head and saying, "I'm not very happy," with tears in his eyes. OMGosh, I felt like such a terrible mommy!! I called work & told them we had a domestic issue I had to take care of, and then went to the store & bought a ton of gauze. I dressed him up, and of course, as the day wore on, the gauze was falling off -- he got the award at school for the best homemade costume. He ended up a happy little boy that day... but the image of him sitting in my car w/paper ripping everytime he moved... it's really funny ....... now)

Mary Jo - you really made me laugh today - thanks :goodvibes :lmao: :goodvibes
Helen you were right Nadia won Masterchef.
OH I have recorded it, went to see poc3
 
I'll have to ask - I know that most of the sites he showed me when I met him dealt with sharing code (legal and not). He was one of those kids that was a hacker for the fun of it, not to hurt anything. They would get something new and see how long it took them to crack it or at least tear it apart. Paid off for most of them. Some of his friends went to work with the FBI or CA State Police. They move in on drug busts etc and stop the program that was meant to delete the harddrive.

(ok - shh - there are certain stories I don't want my kids knowing. that dad can hack is one of them. Jumping off a dam 200 ft into the water was another.)

I won't tell. I go back far enough so I remember when "hacker" was a compliment rather than a criminal activity. The BBS's I was involved in were very much like these boards - much more virtual communities than the (more common) pirate software sites. Curiously enough, the Internet wiped most of them out which was a loss - because BBS systems, being dial in, tended to attract mostly local people. So the virtual communities often became real communities because people could and did meet up. With the Internet, people were so spread apart that the ability to meet in person was lost.

This board is in a very real way a return to the old BBS days - because the online community is expected to turn into a real one. It changes the dynamic that is found on many online forums, because knowing you're going to be meeting and "living" with the people on the board tends to eliminate the "flaming" that happens elsewhere - there is no expectation of anonymity, so we behave as a real community.

perhaps an essay on ... hummm.... the history of TP and its many uses other than the usual.... but we will need an extra credit ( I love extra credit) question... any ideas??

Teachers????? History of TP's? no wonder the kids of today have ''issues'' or maybe 'tissues''?
 
IMHO - With the kids, and summer time, go DL hotel. I am not positive if it is still the rule, but you can't pool hop during the summer. not that you can't let yourself into the pool area (there is a short gate that you can actually reach around to open the door from the inside). So, if you are thinking that you might want to take the kids to the pool, the DL pool has more to do.
The last time we were there, the pool at Paradise Pier is quieter because it is smaller, and has a simple spiral slide. Fun, but that's all they got.
The pool at GC has a slide too, and they have two pools. One for smaller kids, one for older kids. So that is nice, and they have several hottubs. things may have changed if they have remodeled again.

I've never stayed at the DL hotel, but I hear you want to be in the newer tower (which ever one that is). The rooms are more Disney standard size. the older rooms are reported to be smaller. but that is what I heard from someone else, so i can't say for sure. I do know that the rooms at Paradise Pier were better than at GC, unless you are staying in a suite.

You can use my suite if you want, I wont be there. :) It sits overlooking downtown disney, and the balcony sits right on top of World of Disney. You can sit on the balcony and look down onto the bakery and the security checkpoints. We've stayed in that corner when we go.

page 500 - that's about where i left off. So now i go back to page 501 to start reading about all this TP.

BTW - i love all the new tags. i am keeping track as I go along to catch all of them. then I will update the list.

At the moment Disneyland hotel is my first choice and Grand Californian the second choice.

Sorry missed that, I have to say I have only flown from the London airports, often Gatwick, but Heathrow, Luton, recently Stansted, thats close, seen London City and seen the on just outside Birmingham, I thought that was East Midlands.
