October 20th 2007 Western Magic Part 3

[Timon]

Sorry I missed you Carrie. I was a little late with my workout tonight, had to get rid of my headache first.

 

[Timon]

Welcome aboard to Major Woody! Wow, lots of DISers on this cruise
It's gonna be awesome!!!!!!

 

[JLDSMD]

Evening Cass,

How are you? It's 1:30 here and I can't sleep tonight for some reason.

Question for you. You and Mike were talking about upgrades at port the last time you sailed in October. Do you mind me asking what Category you booked, what upgrade Category you got, and what the cost of the upgrade was?

Just curious. Thanks.

Good morning everyone

Firstly and most importantly -

Dust stuff by the truck load for Nancy today - fingers and toes still crossed Nancy

Lots of pages to catch up on - - I like it when you've been chatty - gives me something to do while I drink my morning cuppa.

So here's our plan:

If this is our plan, would you spend the extra $ to stay at a nicer hotel (moderate) with a pool that has a slide? Both Coronado and PO-R have slides, I don't think the Values do (we are looking at the Movies, since AAA has it for $65.60). We probably will be in the room/resort more based on this plan. The total upcharge would be $175 for the weekend.

I would do the value and spend your money elsewhere. They are fine for the short break. Ask your ds what he could spend $175 on - I bet he could give you a list

Karen,

I see your light on, where did you go?

I keep telling you Jeff, my light maybe on, but it doesnt mean anyones home - I leave it on all day til I log off at night.

I know this isnt about the cruise - but we are now thinking of going to the Halloween party before the cruise.

Questions:

1. is it really all that much fun?
2. Tickets prices are around $35/person - is that all I have to pay if I go to Magic Kingdom at 7pm? or do I need to pay for a Park Hopper for the whole day PLUS another $35?
3. Anyone have pictures?

We're doing it on the 16th - its our first time - cant wait!

I have some pics posted on my website:

and I have a video as well:

We LOVE MNSSHHP! We're going back on October 14th before the cruise!

Great photos, pity you arent on the 16th - I could have got to those Kira cheeks before Nancy

hi guys, mike here. mom came home and seems to be doing well. thanks for the pixiedust. very stressful week.
lots of demons up at that hospital in cleveland. thats where i had my valves replaced 7 years ago. somewhere i picked up a staff infection that got into my blood and attacked the heart and ate the valves. it was very touch and go for a while.
while visiting my mom last week robin would walk down the hall and say"you were in that room and that room" shed look in the room and i told her "im not in there now" it was a scary time and she literally brought me back to life.
ok enough depressing stuff. we are ready for a cruise!!!!

Oh Mike - you poor thing...I bet it was awful for you I'm glad your Mom is now home, loads more dust stuff coming her way for a speedy recovery.

 

[Karen Mouse]

WE PAID OUR CRUISE OFF TODAY. TIME FOR A HAPPY DANCE.

Woo Hoo - well done!

Hello all,

We'll be on this cruise also, it'll be our 4th, 2x on the Wonder and this will be the 2nd on the Magic. We're going to see about some excursions this time around, usually we've just gone out on our own.

See you there...

Take care,

Bill

Welcome Bill We're quite a chatty bunch, keep posting and just jump right in.

Another story...

Then there was the time Mike was outside on the step ladder. I was in the house. When I went outside the ladder was lying on the ground and Mike was laid out on the cement. You know that initial "blood running cold" feeling you get when something bad happens. Well, I got it. I went over to him and he started laughing.

Needless to say, The first thing I said was "YOUR SUCH AN A**HOLE! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?"

His response... "I'm sorry, but it was funny."

He's a sick puppy. .

I'd have picked up the bl**dy ladder and hit him with it, and said "Now THATS funny."

Hello again,


It's just me and my wife Jeanne. This will be our 2nd Western Carib cruise. We booked this one while on our last one, got the discounted rate and the shipboard credit. We'll also be doing the Romance package again, we feel it's well worth the extra money. We'll be in a Cat 6 cabin, which is what we booked last time, although last time we got upgraded to a Cat 4!!!

Anyway, I'm a retired State Trooper and presently a current part time CM, doing specialty cruises for Wishes.

Take care,

Bill

What a great job Bill!

EXCELLENT! Now we have a pro amongst the Konked Kruisers. (That's our nickname). I believe a few of our KK's are doing a Wishes cruise. Karen? Brenda? Isn't this what you are planning on?

We were Nancy, but loads of people off the Dibb dropped out so we gave it up. Hopefully we'll do it next visit - whenever that will be

AHHHH, I am such and over achiever at everything that it is really starting to get to me. It must be as I get older I can not do as much or something. I am one of those people that have to be busy from the time I roll out of bed to the time I crawl back into it. Someone please find my off button so I can decompress. I need to do that before the cruise or I might go nuts on the plane.

I find it hard to wind down too. On a relaxing beach holiday it takes me days and days to wind down to "beach mode" - ie sitting on a lounger watching the world go by.

Just finished my date with my elliptical. Not a bad date really. I use and abuse him for an hour then I ignore him for 23 hours. He never complains. He never whines. Not bad.

Well done Cass - you'll be a real beach babe by October.

 

[Timon]

Evening Cass,

How are you? It's 1:30 here and I can't sleep tonight for some reason.

Question for you. You and Mike were talking about upgrades at port the last time you sailed in October. Do you mind me asking what Category you booked, what upgrade Category you got, and what the cost of the upgrade was?

Just curious. Thanks.

We booked a cat 9 and upgraded at the port to a cat 6 for about $354 USD I believe. If I had booked a cat 6 originally, it would have been over $1000. So it was a good deal. If you want to upgrade, make sure that you go to the upgrade desk (furthest check in desk towards the ship) as soon as possible! I would maybe send Suz there while you check-in or vice-versa. And if you can't get what you want at that time, keep checking with them as people will upgrade. So if you are looking for a cat 9 to cat 6, maybe at 10:30 am they may not have any BUT at 10:45 let's say someone in a cat 6 was upgraded to a cat 4, then there would be a cat 6 open now!

Well done Cass - you'll be a real beach babe by October.

BAHAHAHA! I don't think I will EVER be a beach babe Karen But I am trying to get back into the shape I was in for my last cruise

 

[Timon]

A HUGE pile of dust stuff for Nancy!!!! ixiedust:

 

[Karen Mouse]

BAHAHAHA! I don't think I will EVER be a beach babe Karen But I am trying to get back into the shape I was in for my last cruise

Of course you will - you are already. I saw your wedding photos from you link to your site - looked beautiful then and beautiful now. Dont put yourself down, your a beautiful Mom with a beautiful daughter - be proud

My thighs are killing me today. I couldnt go to the gym yesterday cos I had to wait in for the timber and damp report on the house to be done, so I did an aerobics dvd - oh my god - I can barely walk today - too many squats I think I hate it when I ache cos it ruins your next day and stops you exercising. I am looking forward to Friday - I think I will have lost a pound - not much I know but its good for me as my weight usually goes up or stays the same

 

[Timon]

Okay, so I went ahead and made up a design for the t-shirts. As requested, I kept the kk logo I had made before (DIS green mickey head) and added the flags for our trip. Now the only thing I worry about the flags is that we get rerouted or stuck on an Eastern cruise.

Here's the logo I came up with:

I hope it's ok and everyone likes it. If not, you can always gimme some criticism, don't worry, I take it well.

If a majority of you like it then we will stick with it and we can go from there.

And because I can't sleep, I looked into the cafe press store and opened a storefront for our logo merchandise. It's really easy to change the logo on the shirts should we decided we want a different one, so no panicking if you really hate the logo. Just gives you a better idea on how the shirts will look like with the logo on it.

Here's our store...

http://www.cafepress.com/konkedkruisers

So, don't buy anything until we get a majority vote here about the logo. Like I said, no biggie if I need to change it.

Please, let me know if the logo is a YAY or NAY for you, either here or by PM.
But if you say NAY please let me know what you don't like about it or what you would like to change/add so that I know what to do with it.

Okay, almost 2:30am...should head to bed, Kira's been getting up at 7am lately Why can't kids sleep in geeez!!!

 

[Karen Mouse]

I really like it - my only comment would be to move the flags down just a tiny bit so they arent quite as close to the bottom of the ears if that would be possible..

I think it looks great with or without the flags..

Would be fab for the group photo

I'd definately get one for me and ds. I'd have the v neck, do they do kids t shirts? couldnt see one on he store? Hubby might even wear one if persuaded with enough beer

Thanks for organising this Cass

Morning all. I have been up since midnight. Haven't been on the boards since Harrison just kept crying and would not go to sleep. I was planning on going back to work today but not now. I will try to sleep some today. Yeah right, like he will sleep. Oh well.

Dust stuff to Nancy

Cass = I love the shirts. What a great idea.

OMG. Julia just got up. No sleep for me!!!! Harrison finally went to sleep 20 minutes ago and here comes the next one. Gotta love being a mommy!!!

 

[cntkg1]

Major Woody...welcome aboard. I see you are retired FSP. 18 years here on a municipal PD ::cop: in Wisconsin, 12 to go then I can really go on some cruises. I dont get on to post much...mostly my DW, Janice. Seems as though when ever I read her posts she is trying to do the laundry but is always on here talking to other DISers So not much laundry gets done Just got smacked as I was trying to type.



Mark

Glad to see you posting Mark! I think the guys are feeling a little outnumbered here, especially when us ladies start talking about "lady things".

Ok we have talked about what everyone is doing at Key West how about the other ports. I am really looking forwad to the choco. dipped key lime pie in Key West. I would not have known about that it someone did not tell me. So know I want something to look forward to in each port. Who is doing what and who can recommend what?

Carrie, we are doing the Dune Buggies on Cozumel. It's a DCL excursion that's brand new. I couldn't even get any feedback on it from the regular cruise thread. We are winging it in GC. DD Kristin gets car sick VERY easily and we're planning on a taxi tour of GC but not sure if she can handle it. We'll be packing the ginger pills for her as even Dramamine (non-drowsy) puts her to sleep.

somebody come talk tonight. What about all of you that work out, how is that going? Isn't Friday weigh in day?

Carrie, the diet part is going very well for me, but since I hate exercise and am limited to the kind I can do, I seem to skip over that part if possible. I did, however, ride my bike a few times this week.

Just finished my date with my elliptical. Not a bad date really. I use and abuse him for an hour then I ignore him for 23 hours.

I think that's how my bike feels.

A HUGE pile of dust stuff for Nancy!!!! ixiedust:

Thanks Cass and Karen!! Two more hours and I'll know the results. After Chuck and the kids, you guys will all be the next to know. (Then I'll call my parents)

Cass! I love it!! Great job. Thank you, thank you for doing this for us. Let us know when we can start ordering. BTW..my digital frame was a hit at work yesterday. I feel like a real smarty pants now that I know how to throw more pics on it.

Lori, I hope the little guy feels better soon. Thanks for the dust stuff. You guys all make me feel warm and fuzzie inside.

Just a little more than one more hour now...can you tell I'm nervous??

Mark

Hello again,

I'm actually retired from NYSP, and moved to central Fla early this year. Looking forward to this upcoming cruise. I don't know if we'll book a future one while on the cruise, I have to compare the prices with what I can get as a CM.

Take care,

Bill

Stateroom number? Whatever for? Are you sending Jack Sparrow to my room?
