October 11-18, 2008 Eastern Magic-Parrothead Pirates in Paradise!

....Got a few more people to book for this cruise (I should get a commission!!!LOL!!)....

Again, thanks for the heads up! I did get a hold on 7120 from Dreams....but after all the trouble I caused, I'm going to let it go, if you would like it back. We are going to book this cruise but, through my BIL who is a TA. Several family and friends are going in October, and they are going to book us while they are on the ship. I am willing to take my chances on a getting a Cat 6 or 8 to gain that discount and and an extra $50 credit with the Disney Visa.

I am willing to make the Dis Green Mickey's. Is there a name for our cruise (ours was Latitude Adjustment Cruise) or would everyone just want their dis name and the cruise dates on it? What does everyone think??

Kritter, hope dd is better. Congrats on job!

Tonya, we will pray for the accident victim. I hope he is better soon.

I love the name latitude adjustment, I wish we could think of something equally creative. Kind of makes me think of Jimmy Buffet, fruity drinks, and white sand! I think we could all use some of that now. We had terrible weather last night. We lost power for several hours and there was a good bit of damage in our area from tornadoes.(We are into Spring here.)

MMouse, I sure hope none of my boys ever have to experience anything like that again.

Thats exactly where it came from...Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude... Nothing adjusts my attitude like a latitude adjustment, a few Boat Drinks and a Cheeseburger in Paradise!

Bigred,
I'll have to get out my Jimmy Buffet cd this weekend! I'm sure he'll inspire me. DS9 loves "I don't know where i'm gonna go when the volcanoe blows" whats the name of that song?

That would be Volcano!
Are you in the south near Enterprise?

I love the Buffett feel of the cruise. My dh and I met at a Buffett concert in 1999. We have been together ever since. We will be celebrating out 5th wedding aniversary on the cruise! All the tables at our wedding were named after Buffett songs instead of boring numbers and Margaritaville was the first song the band played. I vote for a buffett name.

We're not as far south as Enterprise. We are in the middle of AL on the GA line.

I like it. For our last cruise, I considered Change Your Whole Latitude from the adult beverage commercial...but I was concerned about copyright issues. I don't think it would be an issue as long as we don't profit from the use of it. I'm not having much luck coming up with anything else at the moment...

In case you haven't found this before, get your Buffett fill here...Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville

But...what happens if the cruise price goes up between now and October, which it probably will....it may go up higher than the OBC and Visa Promo which would negate any savings....plus less chance to snag the category you want....just something to think about!

If you can rely on past history, it won't go up much between now and then, not enough to offset the extra savings. We have decided to flexible with our category. If the price goes up to much for a cat 6, then we have decided we will try a cat 8. It sounds crazy, but we are willing to take the chance....we'll see what happens.

BigRed, we have 7119 and 7121 booked, so we could have been neighbors! That's okay, we'll see you on board!!

I am ALL FOR a Buffet theme! We have Sirius Satellite radio and listen to Radio Margaritaville all the time!
Wastin' away again on Castaway Cay? or On the Magic?
Mickey Mouse in Paradise?
Ears to the left, Ears to the right, (and your the only Mouse on board!)
Parrothead Paradise Plunge?


I am sorry to hear that so many of you are going through such trying times! Pixie dust *~*~*~* and Prayers /\ to those that are in need of them!!

I too, am willing to help in anyway I can. Should we look into lanyards and bracelets? I know we got these as Castaway gifts in October, but do we want "themed" ones? Let me know!

Time to get ready for bed! Have a Magical rest of your weekend!!!

 

[monami7]

How about "One particular harbor"?
We could do a castaway cay theme?

We could have brought our old CF magnets. I have a CFIII green mickey, your CFIV magnets, did you have magnets for CFIV?? CFIV was a week to late for us to go. I was a lurker and occasional poster on the CF board. Should I tell everyone how creative you are? We got off the Magic the day you got on last year. My Sirius stays on Radio Margaritaville as well. Seems as though we have a few Parrot Heads on the board. We could do a Parrot Head theme. It might be better for a western, but hey Margaritaville is a state of mind, so it is where ever you want it to be. Now that I think about it, maybe Castaway Cay is my Margaritaville! Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake; ....

Tonya,

Did you ever hear back from my TA??

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

Allen, I still have my CF4 signs and the ones we made for our first Wonder Cruise too! and I remember you ditching CF4 for a later cruise. We had so much fun!! I can't wait to do it again! I only wish more of the CF bunch were cruising with us, but there are a few that are doing the repo's instead.

SO:
Being on page two
makes me feel blue.
with a hip and a hop
were back at the top!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!! and Kritter, I hope the kids are healthy and DH is lovin' that new job!!!

 

[kritter]

Thanks for all of the well wishes for my daughter Hope.

She is ok.. Called the dr. again today if not better by tomorrow they are going to admit her... Poor thing...


DH is in NYC for the new job thanks for the congrats for him...We can't wait to be able to go to the city with him...


I am up tonight working on the web site and love the idea of the signs we will have soo much info. included on the site. YOu all seem sooo fun and soo active..

I wish the cruise was closer.....

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

Just a mear 585 days and we'll be there! Man that seems so far away!!! I wish we could take cruises every year, but so far, we've only been able to do every other year. I did mention to Steve that our 20th Wedding anniversary will be in 2012, so we should be on the Inagural for one of the Disney Ships! We might even be able to come Kidless!! Whooo Hooo!!! Although, I dunno...we're pretty tight and I think the boys will always want to vacation with us.
Have a MAGICal WONDERful day everyone!
