I know it may be dissapointing to have shorter times in ports, but it looks like Disney may be looking out for us. According to www.porttime.com the days we port there a smaller number of ships in port.

Good find, Dana. If we went to Cozumel on Wednesday, we would be the fifth ship in port that day.

LATEST CHAT UPDATE..........

As usual, the Diehard Chatters were on last night and in full planning mode. We tried to volunteer various people for this job, but I was the lucky one to get suckered - ah, I mean - honored with the task.

A while back we tossed out the idea of a PHOTO OPwith Shutters for our DIS group. When we asked some questions, we learned that this can't be arranged until we get on board. So the plan is, I will contact DCL to see if we can get this arranged ahead of time. (If this works, we will just post the info on here, and won't need most of the other steps I've got outlined below.) If not, I am also the one who will approach Shutters as soon as possible when I board, about setting this up - and we'll have to proceed with the rest....

So here's what I need from you fine cruisers!!....

1. If you are interested in taking part in this photo, please post - with your cabin number if you know it, and number of people in your party who will be in the photo - I'll keep the list updated. We will still deliver notices to any other cabin number we have, even if you haven't signed up, but we need an idea of numbers to determine the best space to arrange this - we'll need more room for 200 people vs. 50, for example.

2. I'll need dizney_cruiser (aka - Janice) to set up a link on the main page to this post please.

3. Amy has agreed (after much begging, pleading, and arm twisting) to do up cards that all we will need to do is add the date/place/time when we get it.

Here's where we will need volunteers
....we will need about 10 people to help add in the details and deliver notices to the cabins - the more volunteers, the less writing and delivering the rest of us will have to do!!

4. If we could get someone else to volunteer to do up a sign that we could have in our pic, it would be great - our logo (or just the Halloween on The High Seas title) and dates, for example. We're looking at either getting this done on Castaway Cay on our second day, or maybe around 10:00 a.m. on our Grand Cayman day when most people will be waiting to disembark. We're going to see where/when Shutters would recommend, but feedback from all of you would be great!

Clear as mud everyone??

Oh, and...THE CRUISE IS GETTING CLOSER!! THE CRUISE IS GETTING CLOSER!!

Valerie,

Thanks for taking this project on. Count us in for the picture!

I'll help do the notices. Just tell me where and when! I think it would such a great momento to bring home! Don't remember who came up with the idea on chat but kudos to them!

I won't be able to be on chat tonight going to a Chicago White Sox game. I'll miss you all.

Dana

 

[suziemva]

Darn it! I missed chat again! Busy week and another graduation party tonight.

Count us in for the picture, too. Room 6130 and 6131, I believe. I should be able to help out with notes, etc. too.

Valerie, you are The Woman!! We're not worthy....we're not worthy....

 

[TotallyAngelic]

HI
I would also be happy to help with the delivering of the cards - and we would love to be in the photo - there are 6 of us in total (no cabin number yet though). Big thanks to Valerie for organising this!

 

[jns]

[NewfieMom]

Hey everyone, posted the responses so far to the post about the photo op - and thanks to all those who've volunteered to help! We're such a great group!

Missed chat last night - gasp! horrors! Took the kids camping, but must admit, was wondering what I was missing while sitting by the campfire. I've really got it bad .

Wooooooooooo!! Double Digits!!! How exciting Jackie!!!! Just a moment while I put on my dancing shoes for our very first Halloween on the High Seas double digit dance:





We will be double digit dancing on Friday - and we are having a double digit party! (hopefully a BBQ if the weather ever gets any better!)

 

[dizney-cruiser]

It has sure been quiet around here this week . . . who is away?

We stand at 106 days out - so - I don't get to dance until nextweek!

 

[HelenSB]

[mommy2777]

until i hit double digits. i cant wait! 18 days till i can book palo and excursions! yay wish it was today though.


Hey Valerie? did you ever get ahold of DCL in regards to Shutters? Man it sure would be nice to fill in the blanks ahead of time, and then we'd only need people to deliver. I have the cards all ready to go.

 

[kvaday]

Just got my info from DCL!!! I'm so excited I cant stand it! My girls and I have the countdown going on. poor DH, I think he is going to kill us if we keep it up!

Its nice and hot up here in NH, FINALLY!!!!! My youngest DD just learned to swim over the weekend! she said its because she wants to swim with "Bludo" and the sting rays! what ever works!

it is pretty quiet on here this week. oh well, works for me. I dont have to worry about missing anything while I do my house work.

 

[suziemva]

Just been super busy but now with dad back to his apt things will be much calmer!!! Thank goodness that's over!!

Amy, got the package into the mail. Should be there within the next week. Let me know!

Good Lord! I forgot all about booking at Palo's etc! Now I have to figure out when so that I'm ready. Geez, where are those dates again?!

 

[suziemva]

Finally got time to go thru my friend's pics from our trip!!! Here's some I promised...

Our family with our Best Friends in the Best Place!!!

Mattern Family Portrait...awww....

 

[NewfieMom]

Amy - haven't attempted to get in touch with Shutters yet - trying to get an idea of numbers. You haven't signed up - so I'm guessing you're in??

Aneille - just sent you a pm about the dolphin swim we were talking about. Hope it makes sense!

Chat tomorrow night people!
