[paulcrsb]

Hey Les! Hang around with this group and you will never be the same! (Or is that sane?)

Paul

 

[tchrmom]

I can't remember..................what time does Palo open for brunch? I'm thinking 11. Who remembers??????

I don't have enough days at sea.........
I want to:
do brunch
eat at Palo
do suriel bath
sun my buns
go to Beano's get together
go to Castaway club "party"


I think I need another day or two on board!
Who votes for that????????

 

[skc2116]

Anyone else traveling on 10-18-03 have teenage children. I have a 13 year old son

 

[tchrmom]

SKC..........

I have a son. however, he will not be 12 until November, and will not be allowed in the same teen clubs as you son. Too bad, since my son wants to hook up with a buddy as he did for our first cruise.

 

[Snorgg]

2 boys here,Kevin is 12- Keith is 11
Hey Paul.....I think it was the latter part.....I'll never be sane !
You guys are just nuts ! See??!! I knew I'd fit in here !
G'night all ! Be well !
Les
P.S.- Anyone from this thread use chat on Friday night?

 

[paulcrsb]

Les - I've tried the chat a couple of times but I type so slow that by the time I get my comment typed out everyone is on a different subject!

HEYYYYYYYY YOOOOOU GUYYYYYYS!!!!!! How have you all been?Just from the 20 pages I caught up on it looks like you've been busy and anxiously waiting for docs and cruise.

Unlike Paul, I actually have responsibilities. As he mentioned, we packed my son off to college a week ago. So now I only have one child at home. Can you all guess who that is?? He is the most spoiled, demanding, expensive, picky, trouble, etc, etc, etc, of them all. I bet you can't begin to guess who I'm talking about, huh? I understand I'll have this child until death do us part. Maybe that should be death I do part. Hey Beano, do you have a spare box I could borrow? Sorry, that was way toooo ghoulish. Just in time for Halloween though.

I can't wait to see all of you again. You are such a fun group. Paul has been keeping me somewhat up to date on all the plans. I make up a calendar before we go on trips. Can I get the details on our DIS get-togethers? Not that I'm A R, it just helps me know what to pack for. I'm trying to go for an entire wardrobe of lime green. Is that too much???? LOL

Hey Kamy, this cruise I'm treating myself to at least one spa treatment. Which do you recommend? Do you head right up to the reservation desk when you get on board? Any pointers from the 'pro' would be appreciated. Also congratulations on all your success with WW. Paul keeps mentioning it. I'm jealous but very happy for you, and I bet Tim has been very supportive and encouraging.

It's getting very close now. We leave 2 wks from tomorrow, verrrrrrrrrry early in the morning. Got to start packing or I'll go crazy. I'm working the Saturday and Monday before we go. All you ladies know how that goes. It's not enough you have to work and get yourself ready. It's "Did you get my suit dry cleaned? How many ties do I need to take? My shirts are all wrinkled, will you be able to iron them? Who's going to feed the cats while we're gone? Who's taking us to the airport? ............ARRRRGHHHHHHH@###@! I am so ready to cruise, and drink, and get a message, and swim in the wonderful warm water, and most of all laugh with all you wonderful people. There I feel better all ready.

Talk to you all soon,
Pam

PS Tim and Beano, what are you going to be carrying around to take the place of your ESPN refillable mugs???

 

[kamgen]

PAM!!!!!!! I am so glad you finally escaped.....bad boy Paul, keeping Pam all locked up......or maybe that is just a little game you two play...if so... good for you!LOL!

Well, spa...hmmm....I would recommend the Spa Taster to everyone! It is fabulous...Tim had one too and loved it! It is 1/2 facial and 1/2 massage...totally awesome! If you don't have a budget on this one, go for the Absolute Face and Body! Supposedly the best treatment offered. You can check out a list of treatments at www.castawayclub.com
I would go directly to the spa for bookings when you board! Don't delay on that!!!
Thanks for all the kind words about my WW success! Well, I am hoping to reach goal (3lbs to go) before we leave, but if not I am still really happy with my results! It hasn't been easy, but I am glad I have stuck to it....but now I am ready to eat! LOL!

tchrmom- the brunch starts at 10:30am from what I recall. YOu will have time to fit in everything...no worries!!!!!! Brunch is great! Don't miss it!


My 10/18 cruise must do list:
Beano's Party
Return Cruisers Party
DVC Members Party

[nicurnc]

Hi guys!

We leave so soon!! I can't believe it! After alll this waiting, tomorrow we get to say "We are cruising later this month" (Harvard jaw for this one..LOL!)

Have big pile of clothes to make final decision on in the spare room. And Pam, I hear ya, GF! Only JJ doesn't have a clue!! I buy it, pack it, tell him when to wear it!! He is fashion-challenged and proud of it
So our trips always involve planning and packing for two

But I don't care... in two weeks we will be in WDW!

DH and I started the packing party last night..."here honey, put these pants on with that shirt...no that doesn't work, here, try this shirt. Okay, now this tie...no, this one...oh never mind, you just won't wear a tie that night." LOL

I have a favor to ask the "pros"...so far here's what I'm aware of as far as DIS meets/parties go:

Sailaway - meet deck 10, above goofy pool...?center, or one of the sides???

Beano's party - Sunday afternoon, ?time?, location, ?TBA?

Thanks, am, I missing any other DIS stuff?

 

[kamgen]

We started the clothes organizing thing too!! Plan to pack on Sunday!

As for DIS meets/Parties, I have this so far...Beano please correct me if I am wrong!

DIS Sailaway: Deck 10 above goofy pool. We are on the same side as the port, so we can wave to the port as we leave!

Beano's Party: Sunday at 2pm is what I thought....is that right Beano???

I am so ready! Let's cruise!

 

[BeanoC]

Yes Kamy, you are correct. A cake has been ordered for the occassion.

Everyone, in case I haven't mentioned it, please feel free to bring an inexpensive bottle of champagne if you feel so inclined. We won't turn you away at the door if you don't, but we can always use it with this group!


My Palo ressies are in, too. Done deal! Let's cruise!!!!





'Beano'

 

[tarzanman]

No more reminders. People can read back to earlier pages. No shortcuts for the newcomers. Read the posts!!! Ha Ha Ha!! J/k!!

 

[DMoss3377]

Hey Tarzan...

I'm not a newbie...so no need to catch up here...just an overly obsessed organizer.

And thank god I'm not a newbie...it would take me until we cruise to read this entire thread from the beginning. LOL

Thanks for the info Kamy. Can't wait to meet all of you! I'll be packing that bottle of champagne(my entrance fee to Beano's) very carefully, don't want to take the chance of being turned away...no matter what you say. LOL

 

[tarzanman]

Just to clarify for everyone. That is one bottle of Champagne to get into the party to share and one 6 pack of Coors Light for the host.

 

[kamgen]

SOunds fair Beano! Everyone should contribute to the party...champagne sounds easy!

Hey everyone- the first night, be sure to get ice from your stateroom host in the trash can (works great for bottles of wine and such) or if you are bringing a cooler to chill the champagne! We don't want to bring warm bubbly to Beano's!

 

[BeanoC]

Hey now - the beer was Tim's suggestion, not mine...

And a darn good one at that!


The party is a 2:00 PM. Please identify yourself to me in the port. (I really shouldn't be too hard to spot!!) I'll give ya an invitation.
Then if you have one when you show up, I know you're supposed to be there! (Hey, don't laugh - we had 'stragglers' show up last year for free drinks!)

Sounds like fun. Can't wait. But you know what, I think I'll go on the Wonder first, just as a warm up!




'Beano'

 

[skc2116]

Kamgen, I see you are DVC member. Is there any party for DVC members? And being new to this board how do we recognize BeanoC at the port? Don't mind bringing champagne and beer. I love a party.

 

[kamgen]

skc- Yeah there is a DVC member party...free drinks and they give away prizes! Fun for all! It will be in the Navigator and you should get an invitation.

You cannot miss Beano at port...or us for that matter! Look for 4 adults (two men with video cameras growing out of their hands and two smiling ladies) and two adorable, but crazy kids! You will find us!!!

And the invitation only idea is great! Last year Beano is right we did have some people (DIS people believe it or not) who showed up, took free snacks and drinks and left! This is a hanging out kind of party....so I hope we get some fun folks who show up!

 

[BeanoC]

I hate to have to be that way about it, but last year's 'crashers' kinda frosted my cheeks.

Last year's party was a winetasting, right? This guy shows up (He had posted maybe 3 times to our thread last year), and he says he doesn't drink wine, got any beer? So I gave him one. Then a few minutes later, he goes over to my fridge and helps himself to another. He asks me straight out how much the suite cost, and then proceeded to tell me I paid too much and it's not worth it. Then he left.

Can you say "jerk"???

So we only want nice, happy, friendly DIS'ers to enjoy some time together! Maybe I need to hire a bouncer... Nah, nevermind that. I'll bounce ya myself!
