North To Alaska--May 3, 2011 on the Disney Wonder

[HebeJebe]

Of course! The more Duffys the merrier. Mine has the sailor suit, the UK outfit, a parka for this trip, still looking for that flannel shirt and grass skirt.

I have the sailor suit, Canada outift (flannel lumberjack style shirt), and a few outfits from Japan.

Build a Bear has a hula skirt. It should fit Duffy.

At least he's still on vacation somewhere.

I have a new duffy w/o clothes, can he come play if I put a towel around him? Thanks, Eileen

 

[gydell]

But if anyone has any ideas for those teenagers I would appreciate it.

Candy!

Regarding TIME and PLACE for the Champagne Girls Tasting to be held.....I received this from DCL:


"Hello Deb,

I hope that this email finds you well.

Unfortunately, the Beverage Team is unable to confirm either date for the “Champagne Tasting”. Is there another date that I can request for you? Please let me know.

Thanks,

David"



This was my reply:


Hi David,

How about day 3, Thurs. May 5th for the Champagne Girls Tasting?

If we change our time, would there be anything available on the two sea days that I originally requested?

It's hard for me to imagine that DCL wants to turn down 50 ladies drinking $500 worth of their champagne onboard. Have you checked with the Outlook Cafe, Promenade Lounge or any other bars besides Diversions, Sessions or Rock N Bar D.

We only need 2 hours somewhere. Could you please double check and make sure that you cannot find us any accommodations?

I will not tell my ladies that Disney is going to disappoint us and that we will not be holding a champagne girls tasting on this cruise until you get back to me. Please try very hard to find us a space to use. Give us some options of different times, places and dates that are available.

Thank you David, I know you're trying your best. Please understand how important this is to so many of us.

I'm looking forward to your reply.

Best,
Deb


I have not heard anything back yet. I will give him some time to work on it and then I will call him directly later this week.

That is why it is so important that I have your stateroom numbers. More than likely you will get a message giving you all the information about the CG gathering. Usually, it takes right up until the last minute to work it out with DCL. This is typical.

Linda/seaulater......If you know anyone on the Wonder that can help us move this along, I would be most greatful for your help.

Deb, Thanks for all you're doing to make this a Magical Memory on the First Alaskan Cruise!!! I linked your updated list to the MEGA LIST

Thanks to everyone for your help with how to do FE gifts. I will print the new final list and do my kids count But if anyone has any ideas for those teenagers I would appreciate it.
I live in the Seattle area and the Pacific Northwest, including Alaska, has been having really strange weather. For excursion stops think layers...we have warm and sunny - short sleeves one day and frost on the ground - coats and gloves the next. Some we start in coats and end up in tee shirts within the same day not normal anywhere this year.

Your weather sounds just like ours! Yes, I think layers are the order of the trip!

Lynn, we'll have to make sure our Duffy's don't try to play switcheroo on us. I'm bringing mine along as well, right now I've only got a parka for him, but I'd like to find him a flannel shirt as well.

Can my Duffy play too?!?! He also has a flannel shirt!! And a sailor suit, and pajamas, and another sailor outfit, and ...

Of course! The more Duffys the merrier. Mine has the sailor suit, the UK outfit, a parka for this trip, still looking for that flannel shirt and grass skirt.

All the Duffy's are welcome as far as I am concerned!!! Mine is the smaller version, so almost all of his clothes are homemade, except for a few Build a bear outfits that I have altered to fit him.

Perfect! I might have to go pick that up before the trip. Might come in handy again if we do Hawaii next year.

I have a new duffy w/o clothes, can he come play if I put a towel around him? Thanks, Eileen

Of course he can come! Toga, toga. If you have a Build a Bear close by their close fit Duffy in case you don't want him running around Alaska in his fur suit.

Candy!

LOL!

Wheels up in 48hrs!!! I can't wait.

So excited that 3 weeks from today we will be on the Wonder!!!

Hi Everyone

Last call for lanyards and name badges. Last call for additions and corrections!

What you see on the list below is what you will get - so if you need a correction, please let me know ASAP!


GETTING YOUR LANYARDS AND NAME BADGES
If your name is on this list (except for those on the "not confirmed" list), I have a name badge and lanyard for you. Please make an effort to pick them up.

Name badges and lanyards will be available at the following locations:

In Los Angeles:
At the terminal - I will get there fairly early - you will have to play "Where's Ken" to find me. It probably won't be to difficult - just ask the people with the special lanyards and name badges.

(I've asked Bob of BobandLee to post a picture of Shari and I on the cruise list to help you in your quest to find me)

On Deck 10 - Starboard side (that's the right side of the ship) - overlooking the Goofy pool from 2:30 to 3:30pm - if it's raining, I will move to the Promenade Lounge.

If we can't connect in these places, you will have to call me in room 6584 and make arrangements for pickup.

I will be giving out two sets of lanyards and name badges in Los Angeles for those doing the B2B!

In Vancouver:
Because I'm on the Repo, I cannot guarantee that I will be in the terminal at Vancouver. Therefore, I will be in the Promenade Lounge from 2:30 to 3:30.

If we can't connect at that time, you will have to call me in room 6584 and make arrangements for pickup.

So excited that 3 weeks from today we will be on the Wonder!!!

Can't wait to hear all about it since we are cruising later this summer!

 

[HebeJebe]

I thought it might be fun to get to know each other a bit before our cruise. And as a tease this may or may not have something to do with my FE gift.

What is your favorite color/character(s)?

My favorite color is pink and my favorite characters are Ariel and Minne Mouse (in her pink MM Clubhouse attire).

So, what's yours?

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Deb, Thanks for all you're doing to make this a Magical Memory on the First Alaskan Cruise!!! I linked your updated list to the MEGA LIST

Thanks Georgie. Now I have some news and can we add it to the first page or on the List directly........


CHAMPAGNE GIRLS.........


The venue has been confirmed. Please see below:


Cadillac Lounge

5/4/2011 - Day 3, Thursday

2pm – 4pm

It's NOT a sea day, but we don't get off the ship that day. We'll be in Tracy Arm and looking at glaciers all day. We can take two hours off and drink a little champagne. I think it will work out well.

Just a reminder to watch for messages on your stateroom phones in case DCL changes it at the last minute.

Now I have to figure out where to mail the tiaras and boas to the ship so that I don't have to carry them on the plane. Does anyone know the address to the Port? How soon should I ship them? Thanks for any help you can provide.

That's perfectly fine! No problem at all.
