July 9th 2005 - West Coast Cruise.

Hey...for any of you who scrapbook...the sticker for sale at Craig's storefront would be the perfect addition to a page about our DIS group...matte it on lime green paper and mount it alongside the DIS group photo!

Speaking of a group photo...I read on another thread that they were going to arrange for a group photo with a ship's photographer and request a character or character's presence ahead of time. Chris...I know you're in a suite...is this something they would let you request? Maybe we could arrange it just before/after the DIS party you're hosting...and everyone could wear their green shirts! Just a thought...since that's already a time everyone was going to get together.

Just an update on the excursions...spoke to a DCL supervisor today who agreed to book me as a "dolphin observer" (cost $35) to go along with DS4 on the Dolphin for Kids excursion at 11 am. The original CM had told me that I had to book the adult dolphin encounter (cost $120) because they had no observer spots left...even though I would not be able to use the encounter because I would be with DS. So that is good news.

We still won't be going together...DS is doing the kids encounter at 11 with me observing, and DD and DH will do the swim at 12. But even though we can't ride over together, at least I should be able to see both kids' experiences since they aren't at the exact same time. Way to be positive, right? I'm taking lessons from Karen's DD!! Thanks for the calming, kind words yesterday, Karen!

Now Kim, why'd you have to go say something so nice as that. You know how emotional I am right now . I'm just sitting here crying away. Just kidding. That was very sweet of you. Will DH get to see both kids?

Karen

 

[mommykeg]

Karen...stop that blubbering!!! No, DH will not be able to see both kids the way things are set up now...but if we can get them to let him and DD on the 11:00 bus, even though their ticket is for the 12:00 excursion, then we could both see both kids. If we can manage that, it'll probably work out better than my original plan!

Was Matthew suppose to be spelled "TT"?

Everyone Proof your shirt if you haven't already.

Conierge may arrange for photos in thier room and a character can attend - I read it on this board somewhere.

There are three concierge according to my count: SoccerDad in Cat. 3, Scouter-Dad in Cat. 3, and Amouse in Cat. 2.

I am told that concierge will be contacting us before the cruise for any special arrangements. SoccerDad would know if this is true as he seems to be the concierge veteran.

Craig...Any word on the kid shirts? Or did you post that already?

Green in kids not available. That is the only green shirt. I am going to attempt to purchase my shirts after setting up payment method. If their are no glitches, then I will send post that "Store is open for Business".

 

[mommykeg]

Just saw this on another thread...What do you think? I know many were thinking that formal night would be on Sunday...

Does anyone have any more information on which nights will be formal and semi-formal. I was of the mind that they would be Sunday (formal) and Thursday (semi-formal). I was just reviewing the new navigators posted at the castaway club web-site and was surprised that they changed formal night to Monday on both the eastern and western cruises. That kind of makes me think that ours will be on Monday also. This kind of surprises me because this would put formal and semi-formal nights in the same restaurant.

I haven't checked out the castaway club website yet.

Kim

 

[SCOUTER-DAD]

Is there a preference. Do you want to do Formal in lumiers? Is it kind of odd having formal at parrot Cay.

MATTHEW is correct, two Ts. Thanks.

Hi, my name is Amy. I'm a 'Concierge Wanna-Be'. Matt & I are officially rocking the ship from the bottom up... we're on Deck 2, Category 9. Thanks for promoting us, though.


Amy

 

[mommykeg]

Hey, Amy...maybe if DCL reads this, they'll take Craig's suggestion to heart and upgrade you to a category 2!!!

Kim

 

[mommykeg]

But if they do, you have to agree to an additional DIS party in your suite!!

Kim

 

[mommykeg]

The question is now not whether we'll get to 90, but when. For the newbies to this thread, earlier we started sort of an office poll taking guesses as to:

1) On what date we'll hit 90 pages (kinda like the "when will the baby arrive" thing)

2) How many pages will we have by sail time.

Feel free to venture your guesses!!

1) I predict that we will hit the 90 page mark by May 5th.

2) I predict that we will have 155 pages by sail time.

Hey, Amy...maybe if DCL reads this, they'll take Craig's suggestion to heart and upgrade you to a category 2!!!

I'm wishing upon a star right now (and to DCL)!!! From the Keeper of Promises, I hereby promise to host one very awesome party to our lime-green t-shirt wearing DIS group.

Oops! I thought I read somewhere in this little group there was a Cat. 2'er. My mistake.

...and now for something more important.

…and the race for 90 continues.

 

[mommykeg]

Craig...thanks so much for all of your hard work!!! I can't wait to order our shirts after work today!!

Kim

 

[hayesktrm]

Okay, I've stopped blubbering . Kim, what are you going to do for Alexis's shirt? Are you going to get a white one without a name on it? Megan is very big for her age and she could possibly get a small--it would be big, but it would be green. Let me know what you're going to do. Megan would be fine not matching if she matched the other kids.

I just did!! Thanks for setting this up. You are the greatest! Anyway I took the advice and purchased stickers for my scrapbook -- and coasters -- for my new bar which is supposed to be installed this Satuday. I am keeping my fingers crossed!!

Thanks again!
