And Pat, you are up far to early on the weekend.

It's called having a 6 year old that hasn't learned the concept of sleeping in. He was up at 6:00AM this morning, we got him to at least stay in his bed until 6:40 then he wanted breakfast. Of course onthe other side of things, he is usually asleep by 8:30 or 9:00. Any later then that and he is a monster the next morning usually. DW and I take turns sleeping in until oh maybe 7:30 or 8 on the weekends.

Cheers!!

Pat

I love the smell of Malamute in the morning.... OK what movie was that from....

 

[pooh & tinker]

Your fall plans sound great, we are at WDW last of Oct for F&W, MNSSHP, and the Dive Equipment Manufactures Show at the convention center.

Really enjoy F&W.

DVC cruise is fun just too darn short to our liking.

All we have planned for next year is the 5 day Wonder Cruise. I better get busy, planning. thinking of a dive trip on the 65 foot ketch. WDW for sure adn maybe some CA DL time. Maybe Alaska Crusie who knows.

WE are actually going on the dvc Alaskan Cruise this August 4th.. Anyone going?

Just Pmd you the numbers. Hope this is OK.

Oh, I go to bed and get back on and there are 4 pages. I think Scott has the right idea about not sleeping. It's the only way to keep up.

Welcome to all the new people. Glad to have you aboard!

Lori

PS Try not add too many pages today; as I'll be gone all day! It's a full time job keeping up!

 

[seaulater]

Ken it was only a little over a mile swim...

It may have been only a little over a mile swim for Ken and Shari, but Robert was trying to keep track of Adrienne, and since she was swimming in circles, I think Robert and I must have done at least 2 miles!

The infamous "SWIM TO NOWHERE" Oh, yeah, I should have said that was my favorite excursion!

 

[seaulater]

This is just for fun! Please answer the questions based on any or all of the Disney cruises you've sailed.

1. Which restaurant is your favorite? Why? Animator's Palatte. I just love the place and I get goose bumps everytime the show starts. The music and animation is incredible

2. Which dessert is your favorite?The "UNCREME BRULEE". (You had to be on the WB Panama Canal Cruise). But really, anything chocolate- Especially Palo's Chocolate Souffle.

3. What's your favorite onboard activity? Blowing the Mickey Whistle. But if that doesn't count, anything I do with my disboard friends and new friends. I love spending time together.

4. What's your favorite port? (not Castaway Cay! )Curacao, just because it was so beautiful as we headed into port that morning and all the people lined up with banners and honking car horns as we left. It was incredible

5. What's been your favorite excursion?The Zip Line through the rain forest with our dis friends and Captain Henry and his wife Melissa! It was a blast.

6. What is the BEST thing about Castaway Cay?The peacefulness, the blue sky and the adult barbeque!

7. What category room did you stay in? Would you stay in this category again?5, 6, 9, 10, 11 and GTY 12 (this time)

8. Have you ever been upgraded? Just this time from the Cat. 12 GTY, to a cat. 11,. Never done a GTY before this cruise, but the price was so dang expensive to start with, we were trying to save $$$ for excursions!

9. What's your favorite live show onboard?Taylor Mason, for live comedy. Hercules for musical, and the Adult Only Cruise Member Talent Show from the 11 night Wonder. Oh and "IF I WERE NOT UPON THE SEAS" for my favorite pub show, which most adults don't go to and they are really missing out!

10. What's the absolute BEST thing about a DISNEY cruise? Something that makes DISNEY stand out from the rest, even if you have nothing to compare it to! NO CASINOS!! No casinos, means much less smoking everywhere, and since they tend to bring on migranes, I don't have to be as careful when hanging out around the ship

Cannot wait to see some answers!!!

Those are my answers, and I'm sticking to them!

 

[OH 6]

Great questions!!!

This is just for fun! Please answer the questions based on any or all of the Disney cruises you've sailed.

1. Which restaurant is your favorite? Why? Animator's Pallette - the gradual color change, of course.

2. Which dessert is your favorite? Been too long for me to remember the Disney desserts, but I LOVE CHOCOLATE cake.

3. What's your favorite onboard activity? Too many to name, aside from the Match your mate show, trivia and movies in the theater.

4. What's your favorite port? (not Castaway Cay! ) Key West! I love Kermit's Key Lime Shop...and the sunset too...

5. What's been your favorite excursion? Although way too pricey, the Atlantis excursion in Nassau. Very cool resort - want to go back and stay for a few days.

6. What is the BEST thing about Castaway Cay? Serenity Bay...

7. What category room did you stay in? Would you stay in this category again? Cat 8 + 9 yes, both had big portholes and separate baths...loved them.

8. Have you ever been upgraded? Yes, to the 8 + 9 categories...as a Cast Member we were always guarantees and they gave us good rooms since they had the space.

9. What's your favorite live show onboard? Too hard to choose between Disney Dreams and Hercules the Muse-ical...Hercules! Hercules! Hercules!

10. What's the absolute BEST thing about a DISNEY cruise? Something that makes DISNEY stand out from the rest, even if you have nothing to compare it to! Disney Magic....none of the other cruise lines have the magic and level of all day entertainment that Disney provides. The cabins are much nicer and more spacious too. We've cruised on several lines now, and can't wait to get back to Disney when we can afford it...this trip happened at the right time for us and 3 years of Disney Visa Card reward dollars covered a lot of the cost!


Cannot wait to see some answers!!!

 

[gydell]

Pillowcase ordered - I'm checking things off my list . Now if people would stop reminding me of things I haven't done!

We were going to go to the drive in to see Meet the Robinsons and Wild Hogs, but now it seems logical to wait for a few weeks!

 

[milestogo]

Hey Gydell, now you don't have to worry about me pushing you off of the dock! Guess its just Scott, Lynn and us in the early AM.

 

[gydell]

Hey Gydell, now you don't have to worry about me pushing you off of the dock! Guess its just Scott, Lynn and us in the early AM.

I may change my mind but I can assure you that I will not be at the port at 6am. Around 10 for me!
