May 5th 2007 Western Magic CINCO DIS MAYO!

[BLTOH]

Cruise Critic, the Cozumel forum. There are several threads about PB but there was one very long thread with tons of info, some of the responses from PB Tom himself. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=454500&page=19 I asked about parasailing at post number 379 (thankfully the search function works on cruise critic ). PB Tom answered on post 384 regarding weight restrictions. I can't recall where I got the other harness info from. The parasailing/waverunner guys are located at PB but independent separate companies. I would have to go through the thread again or play with the search function but I think I read $55 was the price. I remember it being cheaper than at CC. Also, they have cabana massages and I think I remember that being $1 per minute, again cheaper than CC. There are pics on the PB site of the cabana massages (Click on shopping, click the slide show on the right and scroll through lots of pics - hair braiding pics too). If you have any specific questions, lots of people including PB Tom are quick to answer. There was even a discussion about the types of beer there. Sorry but they don't carry Corona because they feel it goes flat too quick.

BTW, I'm KimberlyC on Cruise Critic too. And Cruise Addicts and I think Cruise Mates. LOL! But I haven't really visited @ddicts in years. If you haven't checked it out, cruise critic is a great place to get cruise specific info on ports. They have a Disney forum but it's not as active as the DIS.


I wish I lived near DL or WDW too.

ok i'll have to go there and check it out..i am on the cruisemates.com and i have browsed thru cruise critc but not many people answered me so i ended up here. well go back to their sites now and look for info on the ports.

Yesterday i bought some stuff for the kids bags..since we live in such a small area i couldn't find any post cards so i am making a little craft for the sailaway party instead..but i need a picture of the mickey mouse hand ( flat ) that i can blow up to be like half a page. got any ideas where i can find this?? i did a search but haven't came up with anything yet.

Just checking in. I've been working 6 days a week now for awhile and the first 2 weeks in April I will be almost non-stop

I'm starting to look for something to bring for the kiddos too. Will probably be something Ky Derby(ish) as May 5th is the Derby and that stuff it plentyful around here right now.

I'm ready to start packing as my vacation now starts in 38 days. It seems that the more I get stressed at work, the more I get into the lotus calendar and move my vacation closer at work. So as it stands right now I will only work the Monday before we leave, then be off the whole week before. Can you say...Disney? Yes I'm sneaking in more than 1 extra day at Dis on more poor misinformed dh

Hope everyone has a great weekend! The weather here is in the low 80's today and tomorrow.

Quick poll...How many of us scrapbook and plan on scrapping our trip? Please pm me and let me know as I have something to share.

We have tried to make the Derby since 2003 to no avail. The first year we were set to go but DH's uncle was hospitalized with some bacterial infection. The next year I was a month away from giving birth, on bed rest and going nowhere. 2005 and 2006 I thought Devin was too young. This year we are cruising. Hopefully we'll miss it next year too because I want to be pregnant. I'm thinking 2012!

I did it, I booked my rental cars and motel for when we come back from the cruise close tio the airport, just need one for the night before. BUT, the thing I am most excited about is The Dolphin Royal Swim!!! ok time to get ready to go out, have a grand night everyone

 

[BethRudy]

Hi Everyone,

I mentioned in my previous post that we had created a countdown calendar for our kids. Here it is for anyone else interested in using it. Just 42 more days!!!!

that is impressive BethRudy..we have thought about doing a calendar but i think if we do we will wait till after amber's birthday when there is alot less time..we have to watch talking to much about the cruise or she will start throwing a fit that we can't go right now

 

[pppiglet]

Cool...I just printed it out and put it on the fridge!

Just remember something

When you rebook onboard for the October 25, 2008 Halloween cruise, they'll give you 10% off and $250 in onboard credit.

If you use your Disney VISA, they'll give you another $50

That just about covers tips...

My mom, sis, bil, and their friends (dad opted to refrain) all did the dolphin swim in Cozumel 3 years ago. They bought the video. I watched it and it looks so AWESOME! You will have an amazing time, I'm sure.



Beth: Cool calendar! But what do the smiley faces denote?


LoveableGluttons: Wait a minute, how did I miss your arrival? I need to add you and your crew to our roll call. Introductions, please
ETA: ok, now I've paid attention to your ticker and I'm really confused.

 

[BethRudy]

Hi again LovableGluttons,

Did WDW hire you as a recruiter for their cruise line??
My DH is already checking out options for the next cruise, and we still have a month and a bit to go before we go on our first cruise!!!
I told DH to wait and see that nobody gets seasick on our maiden voyage before he goes and books the next one!

We may end up enjoying an all inclusive on a beach somewhere next time!

She's not on our cruise...she's just teasing me and BethRudy! You all have to go read her trip report! We told her she could tag along on our cruise!

 

[lorilicapri]

I just read her trip report. She is hillarious!!

 

[KimberlyC]

Ok, so by now you are all painfully aware of my need to make lists and charts for EVERYTHING as a result of my anal retentive desire to be completely organized.

Anywho, I've now made a Roll Call chart of everybody who has expressed that they are going to try to make it to the meet and greet to get an idea of how many bracelets/leis I need to bring for the kids. If I'm missing anybody, please let me know. If I've screwed anything up, please let me know.

I've broken it down by age group and colored the girls pink and the boys blue. One nice thing about it, is that it's a quick way to see which kids are close in age and likely to be in the same Club/Lab/Stack group.
Fla Kim, I'm still guessing about your niece and nephew so please let me know if they are coming and the correct ages. TIA.
(Since I had to upload to PhotoBucket to post, I took the liberty of redacting last names - no need to advertise the X family from _______ will be on vacation May 5-12 )

I've also noted in the Misc column which kids are currently on the penpal mailing list. If anybody not listed wants to be added, please PM me or Tracy (BLTOH) - she's the keeper of the master address list.

And here is a chart for those we either haven't heard from in awhile or who haven't mentioned that they will be attending the meet and greet.

 

[sherrie]

Very nice job Kimc. I am prining it out so when i meet everyone I wil know who goes with who, Thank you

 

[BLTOH]

ok sorry all i am not going to get the master address list sent out today...my sinuses really put me down yesterday with a upset tummy and a major headache and i am trying to play catch up with everything today now.. i will get it updated and sent out this week sometime though so if anyone else wants to be added just pm me your full name, snail mail address, ages and if anyone wants to add email addresses i will add those as well. i have bethrudy and seeboo for recent additions so far.

on the good side i finally found myself a couple new swimsuits so i think i no longer have to shop but can now pack pack pack i am finishing up the embroidery part of our tshirts will take pics when i get them done and put on here later tonite. heck if i am lucky and get enough free time i might get to the adresses too been multitasking today to get caught up but its so darn gorgeous outside ( like 75 degrees) that i am having hard time wanting to stay inside to get it done. forcing myself to do laundry and embroidery right now hope everyone had a good weekend..i am off to pluck away at some more
