November 12, 2005....7 Night Eastern...Who Else?

re. the ship's time-every time we've done the disney cruise they make a big announcement the night before reminding us that the ships clocks will be changed to reflect the change in local time and to change our clocks accordingly.

re. the mco hyatt-great place (in fact i need to book our day rate there for disembakation day, i am not sitting around the airport with the kids for several hours :teeth: ). they have a rooftop pool (heated), very comfortable rooms, and excellent room service (big servings, and the absolute BEST chicken soup i have ever had in my life!). there are plenty of places in the airport to eat (both in and to-go), i also just checked the airport website: there is an arcade, dvd rentals, ice cream shops (in addition to all kinds of other shops)....
also on the rate you were quoted-do you or dh have any government affiliation (am i right, he works for a college? is it a state or county facility-if so you can bring i.d. that states that and qualify for a government rate that you can request at booking: it was around $89.00 for a non-holiday nite). oh yeah-it is very quiet and relaxing plus it is located right next to the security check in so you can drop off your bags earlier in the day, get your boarding passes and then kick back in the room till you have to go to the gate (ask them for a later check out time-they are pretty accommodating).

so you too are a "fox"? small world...my dh's family is entrenched in working in the medical profession-but i think a lot of that comes from their association with the seventh day adventist church-big time medical colleges!
in fact my bil switched from being a surgical nursing supervisor at a SDA hospital to a regular "we got unions" hospital about a year ago:what a wake up call for him! he never had to deal with employees with union representation before, his first day on the job the hospital did a lock out on their nurses :p

just want to offer as well, since we have a rental car and will be staying in the port the night before-if you need any last minute items dropped off at ron juan's desk for you let me know (before i leave i can pm you our cell phone number).

so princesshaylet'smom-any news on the shuttle? thank you for the offer and the efforts you've put forth on this.

Have we already talked about Pirate Night? I can't remember... I just got William the Jack Sparrow Pirate Costume from Disney this weekend. I figured he could wear it for Halloween, Pirate night in November, and next November if they still have pirate night. He looks adorable in it. Now my fear is that he will want to wear it every night to the dining room!!!

We've talked "around about" this....So, let's post a question.

WHO IS DRESSING FOR PIRATE'S NIGHT (as a pirate of course)?

We are........ 2 adults, one hedgehog.

Thanks.....this makes much more sense to my addled brain, esp. that early in the morning.....
 
well it's off to the hair salon for me. i am going to get (depending on who you talk to) either "stinky'-dh, or "poodle-fried"-ds. translation: i'm getting a perm so my hair will do SOMETHING on vacation. i'll hit walmart as well on the way home (looking for a calendar for the "calendar exchange" i signed up for), perhaps some vacation stuff, and "yes dh, LIGHTBULBS and kitty crunchies" :goodvibes .

check in with y'all later in the afternoon :wave2:

Thanks - the PB on board will work.....bread and PB before a dive...a must have....

According to HHGTTG (Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galexcy) the magic combination is LOTS of BEER and Salted Peanuts...:cool1:

And is it true that everyone on board ship must be cleared before we can go ashore?

I guess I should not worry as this drill happens every day, several times....

Just curious :banana: and excited!

Not sure if you have to get cleared at St. Marteen or St. Thomas.

Since St. Thomas is a US Virgin Island and St. Marteen is French\Dutch (depending on which half of the island you are on) we may have to get cleared by US Customs when arriving at St. Thomas. If I remember right they do it by cabin number ranges and the process is pretty quick.

I adore HHGTTG - but that was for space travel (you go UP)...for diving (Down), it is peanuts (ie PB Before) and Lots of Beer - after the dive.

Yeah, that's the ticket. :teeth:
 
Barkley - I just spoke with the hotel and they had already cancelled our shuttle! Darn it! Sorry about that! Will you have a rental car? If so, last time we went Ben dropped Haley and I off and then went back and parked the car at the Radisson and took the shuttle alone with no luggage - they had space on the early shuttle for just one person with no luggage. Just a suggestion!
 
thanks for trying. i don't mind going a bit later. at least that way we can sleep in.

found some travel magna-doodle wanna-be's for a dollar each at walmart today. also grabbed some $1 dvds for the kids so i will be squirling away some more stuff.

as for us on pirates-dh and i are set, still trying to figure out what to do for the kids-probably something very easy!
 
We have the kids ready for pirate night. I am almost ready. Just need a red sash. Not sure what awoltoday is planning on doing. I got the kids formal stuff ordered today. For $70, I got a nice dress & a tux. Can't wait to see how it looks :)
 
we should post our names with our screen names ?It will be easier to talk and call each other by their real name, oppose to a screen name. One idea is to pm one person with our information,including email address and it can be emailed to everyone,without it being shown on a public board. Microsoft speardsheet my be good for this task. Any takers? :teeth: :cool1: :earboy2:
 
I will do it! Send me your names along with your credit card numbers and I'll take care of it for everyone. :rotfl2: Just kidding!
I will do it - seems like an easy task - and I think if we were all yelling each other's screen names on the ship we may look like freaks. :maleficen

you are 2 funny-NOT! that is unless you are going to pay off all our balances so we can start of with a clean slate for vacation :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

just to mention-i'm terrible with names, which is why it was so nice on our last cruise when everyone put their name (board) name in the front of their kttw holder (which we wore around our necks to hold pins). just promise we wont have to do one of those terrible "name everyone around the table" games they do at far too many trainings :headache:
