May 12, 2007 -- Taking the Magic to the Mediterranean -- 14 day Repo Cruise! Part 2

[OH 6]

Gotta agree with Erik and Laura here. Puck is NOT a faun. He is a sprite/fairy. I love Mr. Tumnus (another great series of books there--at last both my kids like those. The yare so special to me that my HS graduation present was a nice leather bound set), but it just isn't who Puck is.

Show the botched production on the Dumbotron? Might be a bit too racy with all that whitie tighty flashing going on But I gotta say, I am longing to see this (kinda like seeing Act 3 of Noises Off).

Hadley - Noises Off is my favorite show of all time... I have the dvd with Christoper Reeve, John Ritter, Nicolette Sheridan, Carol Burnet, et al....I laugh so hard whenever I watch it - which is several times a year. When I need a really good laugh I put that in the dvd player...and all is right with the world . This production that Laura is decribing does sound very like the 3rd act...

HKSilverfox - Disney Quest is next to Cirque by Pleasure Island. It is 5 stories of video games, virtual reality games and a whole bunch of fun. You pay one price to get in and you can play all day. There is a Pirate virtual reality ride which is KEWL! and tons of other fun things. They also have a ride where you fight space aliens not to mention the Cheesecake Factory with killer chili cheese fries. I forget how much it cost to get in, but I think it is $27 (might have gone up though).

Nicholas and Mike: you guys sound like you have very good taste in comedy.

Just stopping by to say "HI". I don't get here very much unfortunately.

So happy to see other Buffett fans. Bubble bubble bubble. We'll be at the concert here in Pittsburgh.

How about my father-in-law still doesn't have his passport. He's leaving tomorrow for LA and won't be back until the day before the cruise. So he is in the process of scheduling a time with the LA Passport office.

Call your senator's office as soon as you can! They have helped other people get their passport on this board within a week.

DVC Member Cruise 2005 that's it... and prob around OKW, that is our favorite for our long trips.

Well, We can't wait to meet you again! This is going to be a wonderful Cruise!

Has anybody found out who is REALLY in the WALT or ROY suites?

I see a few of our group got 1 bedrooms on the 8th deck.....We had one on the 2006 DVC members cruise.....all I can say is......It blew us away!
Now we know how the other half lives.

I have another question.....t otally off topic: Should I FAX a request to inventory control or phone them or write them asking to be put on the new ships in their concierge 1 bedroom handicapped accessible stateroom, no matter when it is, or where it goes?

Thanx! !

Here is another tip, travel socks for those long flights, some call them compression socks, found them at Walmart before our last trip and they were as good as my expensive pair.

You can buy them at Walgreen's too. I wear them for work.

Also: DON'T FORGET THE TIDE-TO-GO! I have one in my purse, Pat's backpack, extras in my luggage. They are a llifesaver for us messy people, and just think kof all that spaghetti sauce I am going to slop!

OH, MY, and he's not worried? I hope he gets it expedited!

Is American Idol on? or something?
Our Patrick is "into" doctor and crime shows now......we are watching Bones, after watching Grey's Anatomy. He also likes Scrubs...so do I!

 

[tig82174]

Oh Erik...somehow that just doesn't sound right coming from a gay man....

See....and that's where we differ .....I happen to think it sounds EXACTLY right coming from a gay man ...at least THIS gay man!

I know what you mean. I'll get on and it seems as if everyone has gone somewhere else.

I'm just poping in between fish extender work and now dinner. I'll check in later.

Couldn't be the job, a move, 50-60 hours a week. Not to mention my fear of needles, knowing there is a blood draw, and the older guy exam, tooK off a noon today, actually the whole office bugged out early.

Had lunch with Lynn bought new crocs for this trip, did a dog walk, payed bills..... need a Jimmy Concert tomorrow.

"the older guy exam"?
Know what ya mean.

You're on your own with the Buffett concert tomorrow. Will be busy.
Maybe NHDisneylover can keep you company.

Everyone have a good weekend.
Gotta go work on a cd.

 

[Scott H]

Kewl graphic Bob....

Watching House. I like “House” , sometimes I get the diagnosis before the end of the show. Called the decompression sickness on the plane.

Crimes shows are another story.

Have fun tomorow, we will be busy packing for a few trips... maybe a trip to Wally World looking for light weight wind pants...

OOOH we LOVE DisneyQuest! It's such great late-night fun for those of us who want to stay up and do something exciting but aren't that into Pleasure Island! Jason and I will definitely be there several times. IN addition to paying admission...if you have the Park Hopper passes with the "Water & more fun" options (or wahtever it's called) then DisneyQuest can be one of those options (or at least it used to be). And we have premium Annual Passes so we get DisneyQuest entrance included in that, too. This past September when we were staying at Saratoga and Jason had to be in his conference during the day....if I didn't go to a park I would go over and go into Disneyquest just to eat lunch because they have great food at the snackbars and YUMMY desserts!

Nicholos--Glad to see you are a Noises Off fan. I was props mistress for that in high school (man that show has some weird props) About a year later the movie came out and of course all us high school theatre kids had to go in mass. What a riot I thought they did a great job with the film. There is a local production happening near here tomrrow. We are very much hoping Marika's belt test ends early enough for us to drop the kids and go. I haven't seen it live in about 5 years.

Erik-- Rio says if we can still do Robin Hood for Halloween this year, we can do Midsummer next and he'll be Puck And that would be the kind of Puck I have always imagined: Very fairy like with two tone green tights and green satin sleevles tunic and vines painted on his arms and leaves here and there "stuck" the the fabric and a crown of greenery. He's already done Peter Pan (and worn Peter costume all ove WDW may times) and is planning on being Robin Hood so I am thinking this is not much of a diffrence for him! If I were ever to direct Midusummer I would have to cast a gymnast as Puck because I always imagine him as so playful and energetic that his entrances and exits are punctauted by handsprings, cartwheels ,etc. Erik, have you ever played it that way? I've never seen a production liek htat, but I cannot be the only person who envisions it as such. NOT a goat boy-Bleh Oh, and yes my kids ALWAYS plan their Halloween costumes this far in advance (and they will stick with the idea). They do the same thing with birthdays. I can't imagine where they get the obscessive planning gene from

Lori--How sweet of you to say you can't wait to meet Marika. She an be a bit much at times (just like Hermione) but I love her anyway. Okay, maybe I love her beucase of it The Hermione thing--I can't imagine where she gets THAT from either

Bob and Sott--If I am not at Noises Off I will be listening to the concert.

Connie--I think Tide to Go is one of the best inventions of the past decade. Like you I have sticks every where. It ahs saved so many outfits.

Inventory control are taking NO requests. They actually sent everyone who faxed requests a letter with their original fax stating that no requests will be made prior to the announcment of the sailings. This was for the suites, too.
It doesn't hurt to fax them, but it seems like they are truly not taking requests.

See....and that's where we differ .....I happen to think it sounds EXACTLY right coming from a gay man ...at least THIS gay man!

I guess my sarcasism didn't quite make it through!! I was being a brat...teasing that a gay man, fairies....you get it!

Erik - how was your stay at Saratoga? This will be our first time there since owning DVC and we are excited! Do they have any good restaurants or fun things to do?

 

[NHdisneylover]

No worries Cayla--It came through to me. I think it came through to Erik too and he was just teasing back (could be wrong though).
