May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 3

Lori-Believe it or not, we've never been to Goofy's Kitchen so I'm not sure how the "paying of the bill" there works. At Storyteller's you get the bill at the end, at least that was my experience there. I believe we can ask for individual bills (by family) when we first sit down. So unless you make an agreement with someone who has an AP pass (cuz you'd have to be on their bill), or if you have one, then you'll pay the full amount at the end when your bill comes. Did I just make things more confusing?!

No! You are making perfect sense to me!

Morning Marilyn!

Nope, no hooping yet. But I did talk with the gym owner and I am tentatively taking the teacher certification class in the beginning of November in Oregon (the soonest I could get to). I hope to buy the DVD and a hoop to start playing around with it when I get back from WDW.

Well that is exciting taking the teaching certificate!! I will be interested to hear how you get on! I think at my age I will only progress so far, but I want to be able to do all that I can. I wonder if disney would get some hoops on the ship for us!!

OK all you Brits, Amy is in the next room absolutely cracking up. What is she watching?

"As Time Goes By" . . .

One of my favorites with Judy Dench!!

I love Judy Dench too, but never watched many of these programmes. I am sad now as those I see I really enjoy. Doesn't she look amazing for her age?

... in my dreams

I think I have been spending such a long time these past couple of days trying to catch up that yesterday I dreamed will you and our cruise.

At least I can tell you we all had a fun, even if crazy and weird time, lol

Well we only have 13 months+ till we meet everyone.

Just saw this on AOL....maybe they are going to make another to "premear" on our repo cruise

Interesting....
'Pirates' May Keep Sailing After This Summer
Insiders Say Depp May Have Interest in More Films

The Los Angeles Times reports that the successful 'Pirates of the Carribean' franchise may continue past the conclusion of this summer's 'At World's End,' long thought to be the final film in the series.
The Times reports that there are murmurs on the Disney set that the film may have sea legs once the trilogy concludes. Insiders have said that Johnny Depp , who plays Captain Jack Sparrow in the films, may have interest in continuing his role.

The production director, Rick Heinrichs, tells the Times "If Johnny's interested, why wouldn't they?"

Oh now that would be the best news!!!

I am 34! Is Kronk someone I should know?

I'm a Brit and I don't know Kronk, though I am sure there was a Kronk on ER!!!

Squeekum, squeeker, squeekety squeek?

Anyone... Anyone...???

 

[been2marceline]

Patrick Warburton's voice was also in the movies Hoodwinked, Sky High, Open Season and Happily N'ever After. His voice is also in Kim Possible, the show on Disney?

Anyone, anyone...

Nope, sorry, but I can be excused can't I??

Morning Karen.

Looks a lovely day today, but cold I think. Off to our younger son's for lunch. Our eldest son has just started full time in the business this week so John at last can take a few hours off here and there.

 

[granmaz]

Hey Karen, I see that you have the other champagne Grils logo too. I couldn't understand when I saw everyone else's, so I copied that too!!!

 

[been2marceline]

...and Chicken Little and Home on the Range and The Wild...

What does your younger son do? How far away does he live.

What business are your DH and older son in? You probably mentioned it earlier, but my blond brain is very tired tonight.

Our youngest son is a teacher, on holiday at the moment. They are expecting their first child in September.

Our business began as Church Supplies, but grew to include lecterns, and now seems to specialise in the big presentation Audio visual lecterns they use in Universities etc.

Good morning everyone----can I just say how glad I am that today is Wednesday! Almost Friday! (yes, I know I'm wishing my life away).

Someone asked if DCL was going to have htl deals - they did the last time around, so would expect them to this time around too (but I haven't asked since I'm not staying after the cruise). It wasn't like a land/sea thing, just an add on with a special rate (not sure how discounted it was tho).

Love those Brit Coms! As Time goes by, Are you being served?, Fautly Towers, Keeping up Apperances, there was one with Rowan Atkinson (voice of Zazu in The Lion King) as a cop but don't remember the name of the show.

Ok - here are my stressers for this week - chunk of the company I work for got sold so no clue what is happening w/ my job; best friend has just been told she needs a hysterectomy due to fibroids (remember the last hysterectomy I had to deal with (sister)? needless to say not looking forward to this one); and father just got diagnosed w/ prostate cancer (which I realize is one of the best cancers to get if you're going to get cancer but still!). OK - I'm done for this week!

John - should give you a hard time cuz you were in my neck of the woods (WDW) and didn't pm me for a DISmeet.....but I won't (haha). Glad you had a great time.

Ok - talk to you guys later!

 

[mishoe01]

Karen - I knew who Kronk was! Didn't realize he did all those movies tho.

I read that one too. Loved it. When everyone was chating about the books they read I wasn't feeling posty. I'm a reader of anyhting that catches my eye. I also stay up until 4am to finish. It's like a drug. The best vacation is when I can have my late night reads Someone mentioned "salty piece of land" jimmy buffet. I've had it for over a year now and just can't find the groove. can you give me some inspriration to keep trying? I'm only a few chapters in but no hook yet for me, I keep putting it down. the other one I lovedddddd was "time travellers wife" I want more, I loveeddddddd it. I think the more hop all over the place a book can go the more I enjoy figuring it out. I also have a great mind's eye. The movie version is NEver as good as what I saw in my minds eye.

ok, really gotta go to work (got sucked in by the view on tv)

Nan, I know exactly what you mean....I'd stay up hours to finish a book, and always have done! (guess that's why I'm a librarian?) Absolutely loved The Time Traveller's Wife too. I can't find a good book I fancy reading at the moment though. I did buy the Historian to read on my upcoming holiday so hope it's good!

As much of a parrothead as I am, I was never able to get into that book either. I had it for a few years and finally put it in the goodwill box since I knew I would never read it if I hadn't yet. So, sorry, no inpsiration from me..... I am going to have to look for the Time travellers wife for one of my next ones. I noticed that Sohpia Kinsella has a new one about the Shopaholic(shopaholic & baby), can't wait to pick that up for our May trip. Her books crack me up.

Love the Sophie Kinsella Shopaholic books.....I'm sure they were written about me! Just waiting for it to come out in paperback now....

Sorry to hear that it won't work....that must mean you get to do another major cruise at a different point

What a 'scathingly brilliant idea'!

Mandy,

Have a lovely day with your family!!

Karen

Thanks Karen, really enjoyed the time with my sister. My nieces and nephew are growing up so fast now it's nice to see them as much as possible.

 

[HollyTyler]

Monica, I'm so sorry to hear about everything going on with you and your loved ones. Wishes and prayers coming to you and them from Michigan!

 

[UKANGEL]

Anyway, may need a couple of posts here - a handful of pictures:

Fab pictures! Your little girls are beautiful, and that island looks like a wonderful place, thanks for posting them

OK.....somebody's messing with me! Now my Champagne Girl logo has the white background again! What the heck?!

Holly.......you sure it's not YOU on the champagne, sweetie?

OK all you Brits, Amy is in the next room absolutely cracking up. What is she watching?

"As Time Goes By" . . .

I know there are not a lot of us with kids going on this cruise, but if there are as few as I think, Sounds like the adult pool will have a harder time finding chairs than the Mickey Pool!


Think they will make a special carpet from the adult pool to the ice cream area?

Great idea! Maybe us adults could commandeer another pool too?!!!

Julie, we'll all feel like we've known each other forever by the time next May comes around!

The only trips I've been on with pictures of me are those with other scrapbookers and recently, when we gave DD her own digital camera for Christmas while we were in WDW last December.

Otherwise, it's as if I dont' exist...

Karen

aw Karen...of course you exist! Otherwise I'd be talking to myself!

Monica
Best wishes to you and your family and friends form over the sea too

Monica,

You are right, we should have PM'd you . . .

FYI, we and several others will be there again December 6-10, would love to meet up with you.

Hope things work out for your job, and the health issues you now have to deal with.

 

[HollyTyler]

Holly.......you sure it's not YOU on the champagne, sweetie?

Pretty sure! Now if this were a Friday night, then it could be questionable! But look.....she's got the black background today!

 

[HollyTyler]

Waaaaaaaaaaaah! I don't like the black background. I want the white one back! Pretty please?!
