May 13, 2007 EARLY Roll Call 5/13/2007 4-Night Wonder

I was reading a good idea on a thread from the main board about bottled water. Someone suggested just bring on a few empty water bottles and then refill them as needed onboard. A decent way to save money vs. paying DCL prices or dragging a heavy amount of liquid on the ship.

Just so you all know I think I would just take a couple sport bottles. Those bottles are not made to be reused. If you look on the bottom most of the time it is there. you will see a triangle shape made with arrows. Inside it you will see a number that is how many time it is safe to refill that bottle without the plastic breaking down. They just do not recommend it. A milk jug is good for 3 times. A personal bottel of water is good for one time. It is not like it is going to kill they just do not recommend you doing it. It was a program on TV a while ago about it. Just wanted to pass it along. Food for thought .

I knew there was something I was forgetting to do… printing park hours for our WDW part of the trip!! I found a handy calendar on DIS that lists the park hours and parade/fireworks times all in one place. I printed the calendar out and figure I will fold it up and carry it in my pocket to have a quick reference guide while hitting the parks. It will also help with some pre-planning of what we want to do.

The Asian lunch buffet is my favorite. I sure hope that they have it. Our Eastern lunch buffets last Sept. were very disappointing. Not nearly as good as usual and they didn't have most of the usual themed lunches. I wonder if it has something to due with the chef who is on board at the time.

I tried printing this and it cuts off Saturday no matter how I make changes. I am going to keep at it. I love the info it gives. We are already set on what day we are doing what but it gives us an Idea of times.

 

[mickey4]

After thinking about it. We do not need Saturday. We are going to Magic Kingdom but only for a 1/2 day we will already have been there for one full day. So what I got will work out great.

 

[scottie]

I have never tried the lunch buffets onboard before so I will keep my fingers crossed for good food selection and taste!

Mickey4 or anyone else- if you would like me to forward you a Microsoft Word doc I made that includes the full months calendar that you can print, just let me know!

okay it has been snowing for 2 days, i want to go south now!!!!

 

[scottie]

I hear you on the weather! We went from 80 to 30 overnight recently and now sticking in the 30's/40's for several days with light snow off and on. Bring on that FL sun and warmth!!

 

[mickey4]

I am with you on the weather. We had 70's now the 30's with light snow. I am so ready for warm weather. We had T-ball this week and it was so cold the cancelled it for yesterday. They said it was to cold. only 32 days left and we are out of here. Bring on the warm weather.

 

[mickey4]

Well I just checked and yes one month from sunday. On May 8th the bags will be going into the car last min running around will happen and life will be wonderful. It all comes down to the next 4 weeks. I can not wait. Just thinking about says lets start packing. But hey I do not want to have to iron out every wrinkle so I have to wait. Now the big count down begins.

Our trip paper work gets mail out about 28 days out so hey we should all be getting Disney mail soon!!

I was talking to my other half and he was telling me how this waiting is killing us and how would it not be great if we were more care free about it like the kids. They have no idea how long one month is even with me telling them and showing them. They just know they are getting to go.

Hi all! Well, I have about a foot of snow on my deck and it is still coming down. It was 80 degrees on Tues., started to snow on Wed. and it is still snowing. This is crazy! I actually enjoy snow in the winter but this is rediculous!

 

[kenneyjo]

Hi everybody,

this is slightly off-topic but I was just looking at some of the other threads for "cruise meets" and got to wondering something;

How the heck did the May 10, 2008 Repo cruise thread get to almost 13,000 posts? Does that not seem strange to anyone else?

Oh well, I am proud of our just under 400 post total.

Hi Rags,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow... We got a whole inch here in Stafford, Va. Ole Polish Proverb" with snow the colored Easter Eggs will be easier to find".
Cabin ALERT!
DD and I will now be in 6634 vice 2582. It will be eiser to but the biggest thing is the window is easier to open and we can sit on the otherside of it, without falling in the the water.. As this is DD's first cruise, she thinks it's great .
I guess I will have to make a new door sign..

[mickey4]

That white stuff is not for me. I am so looking forward warm weather. I do not remember a easter this cold.

Snow, Snow go away come again another year.

The easter Bunny got the boys all Disney stuff. Ticker books for the plane and Disney color wonders books and some Cars (sally and Lighting) and a new T-shirt. Capt Hook and Mickey vs. Capt pete.

We are ready to do the happy dance here. I think we will start dancing when the weather breaks.

 

[ragdoll]

Hi gramps, DGD's Easter eggs will be hidden indoors! I am hoping to get upgraded to the room you left behind! I keep checking. No room assignment yet.

Kenneyjo, DH and I are on the May 10, 2008 repo. I gave up on that thread long ago. I don't have the time or the desire to keep up with it. Maybe after this cruise and our Sept. cruise I will join in. It would be nice to get to know people but it seems almost impossible at the rate they are going on that thread.

Happy Easter to everyone!
Donna

Happy early easter to all!

Grumpy Gramps- I sounds like you will be a stones throw away from our rooms now. I think we are in 657x something. Cant recall which two off hand.

Happy Easter to you as well.

Wow Scottie... I think we are practically neighbors... I believe our room number is 6576.

 

[Skyw]

Happy Easter.
I thought maybe the upgrade easter bunny would come last night......but no luck. We still are in out Cat 8 window.

We don't have snow on the ground!! But it is cold enough. What a bummer. I can't wait until the cruise.

 

[scottie]

RhondainMA- "practically neighbors" would be an understatement. I just checked and we are in fact neighbors! We have connecting rooms 6572 and 6574 so you can either listen to our young son thru the wall or my two girls, depending on who picks what room
