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

[ibouncetoo]

are you on the same boat (for parasailing as us)?

i still havent told my sister yet that we are doing this - but i dont know if i can hold out much longer . . . .

Aren't we all on the 10:30AM boat? I do think so

 

[Vanvmom]

I've got the 10:30 parasailing booked as well (I think my friend Lysa does too). We're the 2 dare-devils/nut-cases in our group! Let's just say if there's no photo to PROVE I parasailed, then no one will believe it!

Once in HS, I took a trip to the Smithsonians, and being the truly bugphobic person I am (yet remember I did mention by dare-devil tendencies)... I actually held a huge hissing Madagascar cockroach in my hand. Since no one took a picture, no one in my family believed I did it!

Knocked an item off the list of to-do's. Just ordered my dive booties to go with the fins I picked up on Ebay a couple months ago.

Remember its your cruise. So what ever you feel is formal enough is fine. Not that I am mr fashion but I think your black/shoes and bag will be just right.

I'm with you black shoes go with everything. I usually lock all up in the safe so that I don't need a bag while on board.

I'm thinking a light breakfast and a bonine that morning

Yes I'm thinking bonine also because I get sick on take off's on the plane never fails. I think mostly because I'm so excited about going someplace. But I have found that it works best for me to take it. I had it on the last cruise just in case, but never took it. Yes the days are going by fast. Before you know it we will all be together. I am getting excited and excited and excited.......

Are you saying that your sister doesn't know she's going on a trip yet!! I thought Dee and I were holding out with a surprise for her son, but not telling him that me and his father will be on the trip.

Hi everyone,

I'm a friend of needalatte's and I'll be cruising with all of you next month. I've read a few pages worth of posts and looks like everyone's pretty excited, as am I. I've been on many cruises before but never on a Disney one, and since I love everything Disney, I'm sure I won't be disappointed. It'll be just my husband and I, as my daughter is 22 and not really interested in going on a cruise with just the "old folks."

I've had a pretty hectic work schedule lately and keeping up with the boards has been trying, so please don't think I'm rude if I don't come back often. I promise to try my best. Just know that I'm very much looking forward to the adventure and to meeting all of you.

Wecome aboard!

Just wanted to stop by and say hello. I have arrived alive in Vegas and I must say that the Venetian is beautiful and very much like the Grand Floridian with gambling. They certainly pay attention to detail. The staff here has been wonderful.

Okay, enough of Vegas.

I worked on the navigator on my way here. There are only a few names left that I have not heard from. I am going to finalize it in 2 weeks so that I can get it to everyone. So if anyone knows some of these lovely Disers and they want their name in the Navigator, please have them PM me.

We've enjoyed our visits to the Venetian, and dining at Pinot Brasserie (French Provencal cuisine) located in the hotel. Have a great time!

Welcome Pat! I ordered your lime green bracelets from ibouncetoo, and will pass them along to Needalatte (I'm sure she'll find a time to give them too you while you all are meeting the soap stars)!

Ladies and Gentleman,
The Plums now have plane tickets!!!!

Off to arrange transportation to/from now...finally!

Hi everyone,

I'm a friend of needalatte's and I'll be cruising with all of you next month.

Yeah! And WELCOME ABOARD, Pat!

Melanie, glad you got plane reservations. Did you end up flying to Tampa or any other non-Orlando destination?

Dee, glad you are safe and sound in Vegas....we'll see how long that lasts...BWAAA HAAAAA HAAAAA!

Dave, what are dive 'booties'?

SueEllen, well, this could be the kick back and go with however you feel that day kind of cruise.

 

[ibouncetoo]

Production of wrist bands is complete (as of today), so I should have them within 10 days!

Still need mailing addresses from a mess of you guys. Please PM me so I can get my master list built for mailing labels. I'll reply with my address for $$ sending (as soon as I compute a postage estimate). Don't forget you can choose to have them sent Priority Mail for $4.50.

As soon as they arrive I'll do my first attempt at a digital photo, download, post...we'll see how much help I'll need with that.

Goodnight double-dippers.

Welcome I too have only been on the boards less than a month, but I have been following them for about a year. I just couldn't believe what a great group this is. I get that no only from one in the group that I know, but also by the way they all seem to care about each other and rally around each other in time of need. This is going to be a great group of people to meet and I can't wait. See you all soon!! One month and 7 days from now I'll be in FL!!! Yeah!!!!

Thank goodness. I think everyone was worried. So happy all is working out!
See you soon!

What is this navigator you speak of? Glad you are having a great time. Only a month and seven days to go until we are all together. Can't wait to meet everyone. I am so glad you talked me into this group of people they are so nice. See you soon Not long to go now. Have a great time on your Vegas trip.

Hopefully you got my address. I emailed you about a week ago. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks for all you have done in getting the wrist bands. I know this is added work for you especially as we are even closer to the cruise. We all thank you!!

linda knows about the cruise - she just doesnt know i booked parasailing and the banana boat ride - as well as a palo dinner and brunch - she doesnt even realize that you are able to book those things before going

i did show her the info on paradise island - so we are now renting waverunners while there!

 

[Spotdude]

Has anyone gifted themselves money to their stateroom account? If how did that work for you I have the form printed out? Did you like it or was it easier to just put it on the credit card?
