May 10, 2008 New Ship Of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 5

[pjpoohbear]

Hey all,

Just checking in really quickly. Work is killing me. I am part of the team bring the smart car to the US, and the work load for this project has been extreme, to say the least. I'm going to try to keep up here, but it will probably be intermittant at best.

Seaulater is correct - we are going to do a MouseAdventure on High Seas again. This will be the third installment (the original was on the first PC Westbound and then on the 11-night Southern Caribbean cruise in 2006).

I am going to tentatively say on the 20th - the day after Acapulco. Logistically, we will deliver the game packet to everyone's stateroom fish. From the time we do the deliveries, teams will have 24 hours to return their answer sheet to the designated location. This lets you do it at your own pace, and let you schedule it around other activities you might want to do.

The good news is that we keep this version a easier than our main game. After all, you are on vacation! Although, there will be six of the creative team from the main game on-board, helping us write it.

This is so AWESOME! I have wanted to do a Mouseadventure for years! Can't wait.

Let me know when you have solid details, and I will add it to the calendar.

grrrrr I am so mad at me. For the second day in a row a sale I wanted to check out I MISSED! Gilt Groupe has their sales start at 9am Pacific time and I just now remember there was one today I wanted to look at. So of course all the cute stuff is sold out already. Ughh I am going to have to put sale dates on my calendar! They do email you when a sale starts but I had been ignoring my email today getting caught up on other things. I MUST remember that Badgley Mischka is the sale Monday! Adding it to my calendar now. It is a member only type site so if any of you want a referral to join PM me your email address and I will send you a link to sign up. I have bought a few things for the cruise from here at pretty decent prices.

Does anyone else here shop on www.Gilt.com ? They have some really good prices on designer items. Here is a little blurb about the site (from the site)
Launched in November 2007, Gilt Groupe brings the invitation-only sample sale to all of America, through our website. Gilt Groupe’s sales, which are exclusively online, provide members access to coveted fashion and luxury lifestyle brands at sample sale prices. Every sale is designer-specific, and held over a one day period.
Gilt Groupe’s team of buyers hand selects both established and up-and-coming designers relevant to members, from American designers like Zac Posen to Italian designers like Alessandro Dell’Acqua.
As a preview, Gilt Groupe’s production team creates a reel to introduce each designer brand to members and makes additional background information available through our website so that members have the opportunity to fully experience that particular brand.
Membership is by referral only and there is no fee associated with joining, however only you, the Gilt Groupe member, has access to Gilt Groupe sales.

edited to add: this was not really cruise related at ALL but I have been buying things there for the cruise so sorry for venting here. I just hate that I forget stuff sometimes!

I'd LOVE to join...but something tells me it wouldn't be a good idea for me! I best walk away..

this was an employee using patient info to open credit card accts....I know many of us are facing desperate times, but why ruin your career/job?

So you have the other side of it, the production and information gathering fiends, the big time criminals will pay huge amounts of money for that kind of information. We get the fiends who are trying to use those CCs.

Kaylee great pics! You guys must have had a blast!

calmom - I believe I am on the Geek team unless they kicked me out, which could be the case!

It would never happen, V! Geek forever!

 

[pjpoohbear]

It didn't feel that way though. I'm sure it was much colder in Canada, so I'm not complaining. We've had an unusually cold winter this time, so I'm sort of used to it I suppose.

sorry, it was slightly warmer here, and now it is 37 F.

Ian - I am so sorry to hear about your friend.

Nan - many thoughts and prayers, I hope she gets the help she needs.



PJ, yes, I am on the other end. ....it just makes me sick when it is one of our employees. Last summer a really great young guy, in school for PT who had been with us 6+ years fell on hard times and was processing credits back to his own CC on our credit card machines. It was $3k and he lost more than that in the end.

 

[pjpoohbear]

I'm only a teensy bit competitive!

V, can I be on your team, lol. I need to be with someone like me.

To me this picture is why Disney is worth the money. I looked around and noticed it seemed other peoples kids were all smiley too.

I don't know what the rest of the country sees as far as DL commercials, but I like the ones where a parent and child are together at the start of the ride, and then the parent has "become" a child so there are two children at the end of the ride. Thinking along the lines of that concept ... isn't this picture all of us?!? I know it is my family (and me!!) everytime I get near Castaway Cay ... and the MAGIC ---- that first glance in the port gets me everytime ... and it just gets better and better all week long (for us all 15 days long!!)!!

I have decided that the DCL web site just doesn't like me! I have not been able to get on it all day.

 

[pjpoohbear]

I don't think this was your problem that dreadful night/morning. I was using one computer, accessing one ressie, never did get past that awful fish!

Ah, but Angie, both you and I were trying to get on and we are linked, we show up on each other's reservations. That is the linked part of the warning.

Doesn't hurt to look ok so I have a problem looking as it leads to buying but I figure better to buy a dress and save a couple hundred then to buy full price right? Ok so maybe I have warped thinking but it works for me

[MrsMork]

Many thanks to those of you who directed me to the cruise meet! This is our fifth cruise with Disney! first time through the canal! Will be travelling with DH, DS (12), and DD (10)

Welcome! So glad you found us!

 

[fourmcds]

competitive...winning....those words describe me...I wanna join your team too!

 

[pjpoohbear]

Oh, ok. so PJ and John1 were in their ressies when I was trying to book. HHHMMMM. This is not good when sometimes hundreds of DISers are linked for dining.

New DIS rule, link ressies after on-line booking opens.

Sorry and hope you are able to get on soon. I know that can cause a lot of frustration as I have been there before.
