November 11, 2006 - MAGIC - Special Western "Double Dip" Cruise 11/11/06

[Spotdude]

Spotdude, the DIS lunch on Thursday is at noon, and probably Parrot Cay. (The last double dip didn't offer Lumineres for lunch that day...but we'll keep checking witht the current and next double dip group.) Parrot Cay may actually be better since it's a buffet, it will allow some flexability with times people arrive (don't have to wait for everyone to be there to order). Also some folks may be more inclined to just pop in and say hi, grab a plate of fruit and run. When we are about three weeks out from cruise date I'll ask for a list of folks who may be interrested in attending so I can give a estimated # to the head server and arrange for a section to be 'reserved' for us.

Thanks its in my calendar now.
We'll be there. We have Palos that morning but I think we are planing omn an early start and getting to palos early.
Although I don't know I think I was the only one to get married completly sober. There has been talk of reliving the night we met (the one and only time I have had jack) We shall see.
Well I have to go to bed dd's open house it today at 1 and I need some sleep.

 

[suzadrew]

I'm in for lunch.

Good Morning All,

It is a beautiful day in Tennessee. A nice and brisk 55 degrees for mine and DD 15 walk this morning. Going to be Sunny and 77 today. September - November are my favorite time of year in the mid south.

Ok, I know there is a chat tonight. What time is it and is anyone welcome? If so, how do we get to the chat page. Tonight is a rare Tuesday that I will actually be home at a decent hour (before 8:00 pm). Only have soccer practice tonight from 6 - 7. I would like to pop in and ask a few questions of the DIS veterans and just say hi.

TTFN
David

AHOY MATIES

Today is "Talk like a pirate day" and even Disney has recognized the fact! If you go to disneyshopping.com and go to the pirates character shop you can get 25% off selected merchandise by using the coupon code PIRATE25.

David, we chat on AIM, so if you don't already have AIM you need to go to www.aim.com (or www.aol.com ) and download it (free). Them PM one of us with you user name so we can put you on our buddy list and 'invite' you into chat. I will PM you now with my user name and a couple of others that show up to chat each week (just in case I get hit by a bus today). Put us on your buddy list and when you see us on line tonight (10PM Eastern) you can send us an IM if you don't get an invite right away.

Eric, I sent you a PM about the wrist bands. If you want a green Mickey head magnet, just post here and tell VANVMOM that you are interested. Also post here and let SHELWOJ know if you want name tags (button/pin) and if you want just your user name or both real and user name.

 

[Vanvmom]

I'll be a few minutes late to chat tonight, but hopefully closer to "ontime" than the past several weeks. I have a site council meeting at school that I have to attend at 6:30 pacific time.


ARGH and AVAST!

[TiggersPal]

I'll be unavailable for chat tonight, I'm going to a preview of "Conversations with God" by Neale Donald Walsch - and he'll be there in person... should be entertaining.

I'll miss you all!

 

[WendyJersey]

Thank you for the welcome Spotdude, Miatamel, Nani and Vanvmom.
Yes, Fairygod mother, I'd be interested in wishing for the boa. Please let me know the cost and I will send down some gold me matey.
I will be available for the meeting tonight. I'm getting everything done I need to get done so that I am the computer. If the wristbands are available I might as well get in on that too! Let me run so that I'm ready for tonight. See everyone then.
Counting down the hours.... . Don't like the thought that it will be over this day two months from now.

 

[Spotdude]

I forgot it was "Talk like a pirate day". Well my day has only just started. there is plenty of time to talk like a pirate.

 

[ibouncetoo]

YEAH. Looks like we'll have some new 'chatters' tonight. I have the AIM name for nani and Suzadrew and hopefully will have alisbarc's tongiht too.

Linda, I pm'd nani and Suzadrew's to you in case I am tardy....hope you're planning on chatting too! (Think I'll forward that PM to Dee too)

See you all a little later.

 

[ibouncetoo]

Just popped in to say how much fun it was to have new folks in chat! Things got a little lively there for a while, sure hope we didn't scare off any first timers. So much fun trying to keep track of three or four conversations at once! And matching up user names with DIS names and real names ARG!


Have a great night everyone!

 

[WendyJersey]

It was so much fun last night chatting with you all. Sorry for the confussion clynne2200, but funny, I wasn't the least bit confused . Guess because I didn't have to worry about my name. It was so easy for me and fairygod mother because we know each other. Hope we didn't scare anybody with our story on how we are friends! When I first joined the site it was a little overwelming, but within minutes I was in with the flow. Just did more reading than chatting.
Let me run, Hi Ho Hi Ho it is off to work I go, ugh! Have a great day. Counting the 52 days til we all meet.......

 

[nani]

Chat was really fun last night, I had to leave early so I am sure i missed some good stories. It is pretty funny how fast it goes and how the subject changes. I can really talk, or so I am told.... However talk, type read and laugh and translate to others in the room was crazy!! It all just made me more excited about cruising with you all thanks

 

[Hannosmom]

Really enjoyed chatting last night. Can't wait to meet you all in person. Is it November yet?

 

[faireygod mother]

I am so glad everyone came by as well. It was a lively chat, but it seems like everyone hung in there. I guess if we want to have a side bar conversation with someone we could IM them.

We only have 7 more chats till we cruise. For those who have not stopped by, come on over.

 

[ibouncetoo]

Oh....just saw a thread on the DCL forum that reminded me that I wanted to remind all of you (confused yet):

Attention blood donors! Be sure and donate BEFORE the cruise, as you will be unable to for ONE YEAR after due to stopping in Costa Maya.

Oh, and bring your bug spray.

 

[Lauri]

Hi again everyone! I hope we're not too late for the bracelets. I would like to order 3 of the smaller adult ones. I couldn't convince DH to wear one, thus the delay in ordering.

I guess we should order pins too (with dates please). I'm Lauri, Lauri's DH is Steve, Lauri's DS is Justin and Lauri's DD is Jennifer.

Is there any talk of "introducing" some of the kids before we board? DS is 12 and DD is 9, if anyone else has kids these ages out there.

Lauri

 

[clynne]

It was fun chatting last night! Thanks, all, for letting me vent about gas chamber day! And, Woody, so glad you popped in there at the end!

And, WendyJersey, if I slip and refer to you as Wendy, instead of your real name, it's not because I don't know who you are. There's NO way I can forget your connection with Dee! (Even made a point of mentioning to DH this morning, who dutifully gave me the astonished eyebrows look!)

Carolyn

 

[suzadrew]

I'd also like to say how much I enjoyed chatting last night. I was a little tired but it was worth it.
