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

[realfam]

Gail,

I emailed Carol for you too. I think she is going to work on it for you...


About DVC I love it could not love it anymore. SSR is our favorite spot to go. I have not been to any other ones. I have visited Boardwalk Villas friends were there. Personally at SSR it calm and nice grounds. WE love the closeness to DTD..
I think I have pictures of SSR if you want me to try and post them??Just let me know.

Added on yesterday and was able to use the points to make a ressie today. Staying two weeks in the summer. Hoping to be able to do a week in Vero if I can get it..Did someone say they have been there before?????

\\

Would love to see any pics you have. We just had to bank our points for this year. With Michelle due in January were sticking close to home for the next few months. We figure June / July is a good time for a trial run vacation with a baby. Plus we have to see our home resort of SSR. We may do a few days at the Animal Kingdom too.
I can't believe how fast this cruise date is selling out. Good for us I guess, (we all bookings).

Has anyone decided if they dressing up in pirate wear for the pirate party?
I bought DS's cute matching pirate costumes and I'm assembling mine with different pieces put together and also looking to do the same with DH's costume as well. So I was just wondering if everyone else here is dressing up too?

Not sure if DH I will dress up. Last year my girls did not want to be pirates so they dressed up as Tinker Belle.........

Dd and I will for sure dress up, haven't broached the subject with the boys in the family yet.

Thanks! I just e-mailed her the rest of the information she wanted. Besides the credit, what benefits are you getting for booking as a group?

We are all getting the onboard credit which vary by the cabin that you have...Plus as a group we get to decide if we want a Palo's Brunch or a welcome cocktail reception which this would only be offered to the ones who booked with Carol. Also, she has promised us all stateroom gifts plus a few "extra" surprises. Plus we are all getting the group rate. I think the more that book the more of a possibility that our cruise price could drop by a few extra dollars. Plus the group has got Main Dining which people are waitlisted for now so if you want that and are with the group I think Carol can get you that. All of the extras alone are worth it in my book. Who does not want to get the most for their money?????

 

[kritter]

All hail Carol I spoke with her tonight and we are confirmed for 1st dining and we got the room we wanted. YAHHHHH!!! I am so pleased. So you are all stuck with us!!! :

WHOO HOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh Vero Beach sounds wonderful...I have my name on the list of interested Dis members for the chair swap for next years chair swap. I am hoping that I do not have any trouble getting the dates I want for Vero at the 7 month mark. How far in advance did you book Vero and were you able to get the dates that you wanted????

My goodness. I turn my back on ya’ll for 24 hours and you put 4 pages on the board! As Kristen said, I will try to keep the list. I can’t take credit for the format, but I did modify it to suit our needs. Michelle will probably recognize it. This is how the list thing works….. You provide any, all or part of the following,

Dis Name-
Email address-
Name, age, occupation & pirate name- If you don’t have a pirate name and want one, click here
Kids first names & ages-
Early or late dinner seating-
Stateroom number-
Hometown-
Where you are staying night before the cruise-
Any special occasion while cruising-

And I will put it on the list! It is up to you how much information you choose to provide. The list in MS Word format. If you don’t have MS Word, I can send it so you can view it in Adobe Reader. It will be a jumbled up mess if you try to open it in Notepad or Wordpad. If you would like to be on the list, PM me your info, or use the email link in my signature and put “Cruise List” in the subject line. Once the list is made, I will send it as an attachment to the email address you provide for the list. The list will be updated as I receive changes or additions. (once a week or so as needed) If I get something wrong, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I will try to fix it on the next update. If after you see the list, and you have any ideas or suggestions, let me know. Keep thinking of ideas for a theme song.

Thanks again Allen. Did you get my information. Do you think it would be possible to put this list up on the web site too??Let me know your thoughts????

 

[kritter]

Allen,

Very cool to find the pirates names.

DH is now:

Your pirate name is:
Dirty Jack Rackham

You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!


This is who I am according to your name game:

Your pirate name is:
Captain Bess Kidd

Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!


Hanna is:

Mad Anne Rackham

Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. You have the good fortune of having a good name.

Hope is:

Bloody Anne Vane

Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. You tend to blend into the background occaisionally, but that's okay, because it's much easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them that way. Arr!

WOW my daughter sounds like one nasty pirate....... Beware..~~~~Just kidding.....

This was fun anyone else do it..

DH got a Great chuckle from this.........

I can save it as an html document and it will open in Internet Explorer. I am not very web page savvy, but I can make the document and send it to you. If you can get it on the web page, then great. If not, we'll dig a little deeper to see what it takes. Time to go support my cruise habit!

[kritter]

Thanks!!!!!!

Like I said, I can't even tell you how much mine has gone up since the Cat 11's are gone! $900 on my cat 5 alone. Nuts, considering it's still over 11 months away.

Yikes I sure am glad I booked early!! unbelievable...maybe it has something to do about our cruise being the only eastern during that month? who knows, I'm just glad I'm not paying those prices

 

[belle1627]

WOW Those prices are crazy We sure did get a good price with Carol. We just received our confirmation from her, so we are booked with her and we have received our deposit back from the other place. So Voila, we are in.

I did my pirate name and it is.....

Captain Anne Kidd

Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

My dd 6 years pirate name is....

Your pirate name is:

Captain Jenny Bonney

Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties. Arr!!

My ds, age 8 pirate name is..........

Dread Pirate Flint

Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

I'll have to get my dh to do it. They are pretty funny.

Thanks so much for doing the list, I will forward my info.

Have a great day!!!

Gina

Man that is expensive, we paid just under that. But that includes flights for 4 from Tornto to MCO.
