For a second there I was going to ask if Brendan Fraser was going to be going on the cruise also :laughing: That would have been really cool, he's the best. I've seen all the Mummy movies and most of the other movies he's been in. :woohoo:

This is an amazing photo of both of you - but I have say this....wow, his pants are super tight!!

I love the Mummy movies too!
 
Soooo, while I was making dinner tonight I tripped over a box and landed on my knee. Incidentally, this is the knee I had my ACL repaired about 5 months ago. I'm really hoping it's just brused and will be sore for a few days but will be ok by the cruise. :scared:

I caught myself with my hand before I landed on my stomach so I don't think I need to call my OBGYN but what do you think? Currently I'm sitting on the couch reading the DIS board with ice on my knee. :happytv:

Oh wow, I hope your knee is not injured. Sending positive thoughts your way.
 
Where is the Key Lime Pie everyone is talking about (how to get there from the port) and where is Jimmy Buffet's margaritaville in relationship to the port?

Indigo...girl, where are you lookin? HAHA :rotfl::rotfl2: There's not much tight pants to see!! :lmao:
I used to have the BIGGEST crush on Brendan Fraiser when he was in George of the Jungle.

Ali- I hope your knee is ok and feels better soon. Take it easy!

Congrats Laura on the room assignment, let's hope you aren't sharing a room with Jamie. Or else you'll be the party room!!!
 

Oh Wow -- you guys are certainly chatty now! Are we an excited group or what?

Still not home. Sitting in the San Jose airport. We were delayed another hour so I have been sitting her working for awhile. I did go the mall and found a pair of shorts! :banana: I looked in the gift shops for the Sookie Stackhouse books but no luck. I need to pick up something to read or I will go nuts.

Alison -- I hope your knee heals fast. I would guess bambino is ok just rest and take it easy. We don't want any kind of scares right now please.

My kids will be in full pirate gear. We will be dressed up a bit -- not sure how much yet but at least pirate shirts.

You guys have cracked me up all day long with my name. Don't stress -- I won't get mad if you call me Maddie. Maybe it will help if I am just honest with all of you and explain my name -- ugh, ok, here it goes:

My full name is Matilde -- yes, like Matilda the boxing kangaroo or waltzing Matilda but with an e on the end. My nickname has always been Mati. At home they call me Ma-tee with a hard t. Growing up, the kids in my class and pretty much everyone else changed it to Mawdee with a d instead of a t sound. I didn't understand why until I took linguistics in college. It is a glottal t -- like in later. We don't all say Lay-ter, it sounds more like Lay-der. same idea -- hopefully that makes sense. Now, if you call me Mattie, I will answer, it's ok, really. I just thought it would save me the corrections. Now -- thank God you guys never saw the actual spelling of Yoni's name or you would really be confused ;).

So, I have so much to do my head is spinning.... Maybe I will work on packing lists, etc on the plane?

Before I forget -- :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:Welcome!:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2: to Bill and CrymsonX. You joined a great group. We are one big happy family! :grouphug:

Also -- Indigo, never have noticed Brandon Fraser's pants until you said something but shall I say "Oh my....".

Tammy -- your pics are awesome. Can't wait to meet you guys in person.

Ok -- off to get dinner before I board this plane. Talk to you all tomorrow!!!!
 
Hello Everyone!
Does anyone know how much internet acccess is on the cruise? My son's teacher is assighning a reserch paper so now we may have to bring our laptop so he can get it done on the cruise. So anotherwards his teacher is coasting us $. He won't give it to him until we leave next week. What a ****. So if anyone knows the price could yo0u please let me know.Thanks so much! :worship:

Welcome Newbies!
 
REMINDER ABOUT MAGNETS

I keep forgetting this....

For those with magnets, remember to put your Stateroom # on the back!! So if you notice some magnets missing and see them somewhere else, you'll know those are really yours to your room.
Hopefully we won't have a problem with them walking off!!

Crystal...I don't know about how much the internet costs, but check your daily Navigator and see when they have free internet times. I've always used that for checking my email on ship. I think they do that like 3 times during the cruise and that can save you money!! Just make sure your son is at the computers and ready to pounce when the free time starts. (IF they still do that...call DCL to check I guess)

LOL - I know....I am so bad, couldn't help myself:lmao:

Also -- Indigo, never have noticed Brandon Fraser's pants until you said something but shall I say "Oh my....".

Hahaha, I double your Oh my! Have a safe flight home!

I am sure I will be rocking some tight pants myself by the end of the cruise!!
 
Where is the Key Lime Pie everyone is talking about (how to get there from the port) and where is Jimmy Buffet's margaritaville in relationship to the port?

Margaritaville is a straight shot down Duvall from where the ship ports. I think it's only a hand full of blacks on the left. Can't miss it. We stopped in have mararitas and I have to admit, they weren't great. Guess well try something else. My hubby is a fan of Jimmy's Landshark Loger so he's wondering if they are going to have it on tap there...
 
Love the cupcakes count down.
We did Cap'n Marvin's last time, and for the earliest tender boat on GC, we got to the Buena Vista theater (deck 5 aft) ~7:15ish (I think) and waited until the next tender after the DCL excursions left. We were one of the last families to get on the first tender, so maybe getting there by 7:00 would be better. Just remember to grab towels from the pool area either before you get to the theater or else the night before because they only hand them out for the DCL excursions--NOT the privately booked ones!!! Justin ran back for them and got back just in time to catch up to us as we were headed for the tender! :scared:
Do you just show up, first come , first served type of thing, to get an earlier tender?

We I've been printing my magnets on 8.5 X 11 glossy photo paper I bought a bunch of years ago, then gluing it to a thicker card stock, cutting things out and attaching adhesive magnets with extra glue. I was using clothes pins to hold it down. I'm going to go check on it now, since I've been out all night in DTD for my husband's birthday and see how they look. The photo paper kinda gives it that laminated look. They seem ok to me. I wish I could cut better. I'm not even in the realm of straight. I'm so far toward the back of the ship no one's going to see the magnets anyway.

Try using a hot glue gun. It had worked out for me. No need for clothes pins.
 
Just popin in to say hi!

Today was the 1st day the Miata has been on the road since last fall...And its running great! ITs ready for the 22 hr drive!! :yay:

Off to play some Hockey!!

Hey Andy!! Glad the Miata is ready to go!!! Bet she purrrss' like a kitten:thumbsup2 Don't you wish it was time to go!!!! Hope you guys had a good time at Hockey!!

As for all the Swine Flu/H1N1 talk and Cozumel...I'm not going to chime in on it anymore. I don't care where we go, I just want to vacation...the Swine Flu 'scare' has just left me drained and wanting to run away on vacation even more. Continue on with it if you please.... (sorry I don't mean to offend anyone, I just want to have FUN, not worry!!)

JorDan....I'm really sorry...:sad1: I hope I didn't make you upset. I was just passing on the message that I got from them when I called. I didn't intend to step on anyones toes.... The only reason Shawn and I are the least bit concerned is because it "really does" have an affect on our VR if they change our sea days. It would mess everything up, such as our ceremony, reception dinner times, rehersal day, photo shoot and ect...I'm really sorry JorDan.. Other than that I don't care where we go, like you, we just want to have FUN too!! Again..I didn't mean to upset anyone. I was just passing the info along.:guilty:

Oh gosh!! I hope your knee is ok. Here's some pixie dust for you:wizard:

Thanks...we'll see how it feels in the morning. Irony is that we have a fire drill tomorrow at my work and we are on the 11th floor. I may be staying in the office and not leaving the building :rolleyes1
 
Laura- Yay! You have a room. Jamie's on a few of you Facebook pages, if you want I can send her a message to check on the room assignment!


Yes, if she might want to know if she has 3 roommates in her stateroom with her. :rotfl: Actually she might want to see where she is now and if they got moved up a catagory or 2.
 
Thanks Suezyq50. I am mostly done now, besides a couple I have to redo because they got messed up. The first thing I had thought of was a crazy glue or a glue gun, but I didn't have one, and I was a bit reluctant to use it anyway. I'm a tad clumsy. :P Then, the person at the store talked me into this tacky glue stuff. I'm not really impressed. So far it seems like a slow drying version of good old Elmer's. For some of them I used double-sided tape. Hopefully they'll hold. They seem ok. I have them stuck to the back of my front door.

Last night I ended up getting about 2 hrs. of sleep. Hope I do much better tonight.

I used to know a girl named Matilde. She really only went by that name, but she barely pronounced the d, and the e not at all. Most people called her something like Muh-Teal or Ma-Teal kinda just skipping the little end part.
 
We may be going to EPCOT on Friday! Just wondering if you want a couple more DIS'ers to pop in and say hi.

I won't know until Thursday if we are going (getting a couple of free tickets from a friend) know for sure on Thursday if we are indeed getting them.

I know I read the meet was at 10:00 pm but can't remember where?

Marcy
 
Tammy--glad to finally "see" you! I put the pic of the 4 of you on pg 1. :goodvibes GREAT PIX!

Alison--take care of yourself!

Bill--the closest KLP to the pier is just STEPS away from the boat!! There's 2 pie shops in KW--Kermit's & Blonde Giraffe. Kermit's is sold at an ice cream shop really close to the pier, but they also have a store elsewhere. I think Jane had the addresses to Kermit's & several Blonde Giraffes at one time. I "drew" a map awhile ago to the Polar Bear ice cream shop, so let me see if I can find it again. Stay tuned...

Mati--I hope you get home safe & sound real soon! :goodvibes

Sue--when you get to the BV theater, they'll take you in order that you arrive & sit down in the rows. I think the bottom rows went first.

Belinda--I PM'ed you! :grouphug:

Hi Marcy ~ Our planned Epcot meets are 3:00 p.m. at the Off Kilter stage in Canada and 10:00 p.m. in France at the fountain. Hope you can join us! ~ Kathy

Belinda Dear...I sent you a message on Myspace. :)
 
I'm back! Went to the dentist last night and when I got home I was all numb/sore and couldn't concentrate to check the boards. My filling didn't fall out it actually sunk into my gum. Anyway new filling in the tooth and today everything is fine!

Anyway - going to go back a couple of pages to respond:

Stichlover87 - Congratulations on finishing your finals!!! You deserve a vacation. Have a safe drive with all your animals.

JorDan - Sounds like you got the shuttle info all straighten out. You might want to check out rental cars, it might be just as cheap to rent a car for less than a day to get back and forth (plus it would be on your own timeframe not the shuttles).

Belinda - I'm SO happy Shawn was able to convince the airline to get you in on the earlier flight and you'll be able to meet us. I think it was you that mentioned Test Track - I just realized I've never done it at night either - maybe we should go as a group - remember they do take pictures of each car - it could be our first DIS group photo. BTW, I found some artwork on the boards that were of the Mickey heads
DISears.jpg

I added my name and laminated it into a luggage tag.
DISears2eagle.jpg
I'll have that hanging from my bag.

Mati - Glad you were able to find something at the mall. Its a hit or mis place for me. Sometimes we are really lucky and find a ton of things, but mostly we wander around and buy nothing but stuff at the food court. I'm sorry the foods been bad - blame the hotels. I was just reading over menus for a hotel in San Diego today and they RARELY have any healthy choices to select from. They think if they offer fruit that the health concious people will be satisfied.

Kim - I'm glad you were able to get all the paperwork done and are one step closer to getting the passport.

Marcy - Great prices on the flights! I've flown Southwest quite often. My tip for you would be to get to a computer as close to 24 hours prior to your flight time and check in for your flight. Southwest boards people based on a numbering system so the earlier you check in the better number you will get. Also, they do open seating - meaning if you are in group C you are most likely getting a middle seat and not sitting with your traveling party. If you are doing it from the ship you can just check-in and wait to print your boarding sheet when you get to the airport. If you are afraid that you won't be able to check-in online give someone at home your confirmation number and ask them to check you in. Like I said you can print the boarding pass at the airport. We'd LOVE it if you could make the Epcot meet. If you PM me your email address I'll send you all of our cell phone numbers.

Robin - lots of people have been putting magnets on their doors for quite a while (in fact I understand that if you are a DVC member the cast members will actually put magnets on the door). If you are worried about using Disney artwork (from what I understand from the DISign boards) as long as the artwork is not bought/sold there isn't a copywrite issue.

Alison - I hope it was just a bruise and your knee is feeling better. I'm sure the little bun is doing fine (they are really protected in there).

Bill - the addresses for the Key Lime places that we've been talking about are:

Crystal - Regarding Internet access charges - From the DISboard cruise page:
If you bring a laptop, pack a helmet. You're going to need it when you're banging your head against the wall in frustration. To put it politely, the wireless internet access on the ship STINKS. It took two attempts to send one email, which also ate up 15 minutes of use time.

I wish I could say that the cell service was great, but I also encountered problems. (HINT: Shouting into the phone doesn't work.) I have Verizon and don't know if other providers have better service onboard.

I was able to get a partial refund for the 85 minutes of the 100 minute internet package I purchased so don't be afraid to speak up if you bought the "non-refundable" plan and can't use it.

Regina Hinrichs

If you have a wireless ready laptop, you can use your personal computer to access the internet while onboard both the Disney Wonder and Disney Magic. You will find several "hot spots" throughout the ship, including most staterooms.

Printing is not available for wireless connections

Disney Magic

$0.75 USD per minute pay as you go
$55 USD for 100 minute plan ($0.55 per minute)
$100 USD for 250 minute plan ($0.40 per minute)
$150 USD for 500 minute plan ($0.30 per minute)​

Ok - got to get watching AI results show. I guess I'm in the minority - not a big Adam fan (I've never been a hard rocker - more of an easy rock lover so I like Kris and Danny).
