I was wondering if they made them cheaper...guess not, hmm.

I think I have heard Fran mention the yellowbird...I am a martini girl..straight up, little dirty..ahhh..that is heaven!

ps..y'all can call me Betsy..it is easier than typing DisneyDMBNuT!

 

[soccerdad-Chris]

Betsy,

Glad to know your name. The other one took too long to type.

Martinis straight up, now that's a drinker!!! I'd be on my *booty* after only a couple of those. The drinks of the day that we've been discussing are big, fruity mixes of juices and some alcohol, and a pineapple slice and umbrella for looks. You're talking about something altogether different: serious drinks with pure alcohol. The advice that RonnieJo and I gave you is mute here: you won't find any servers running around the deck of the Magic with a tray full of straight-up martinis. You'll definitely have to visit one of our recommended bartenders for those.

But, I must say, you sound like someone that likes to have fun!!

Chris

The part about not buying drinks from the 'walk-around' castmembers with trays is definitely true! The drinks are weaker, and they've been carried around in the 90 degree sun for a while so they're melted and slushy too! Yuck. Go to the bar and order one; and if it's a blender drink, and nobody else has ordered one, they sometimes even give you the extra from the blender, for free! Free is always good!!

I agree Chris, Hopeton is the dude! If I remember correctly, he was usually at the bar at the adult pool on deck 9. I think he was tending bar on CC too, at 'Conched Out'. The man pulls a mean beer!

Chris and Cheri - last year's DVD is FINALLY on it's way to you! Sorry for the loooong delay. Real life can put such a cramp in my style sometimes! Sorry you guys aren't in it all that much - we didn't really know you very well yet. So this year... you won't be in it at all!!! LOL

Just kidding... and for all of you who've never cruised with me before, be prepared to be photographed and videographed constantly. Camera in one hand, frosty mug in the other - that be Beano!


Smile, you're on BeanoCam.



Oops, did it again! Posted under my wife's login. I can easily edit a post, but why can't I figure out how to delete one? What am I missing here - anyone?? Used to be easy.

Ugh...I have a hard time with Fruity drinks...make me ill..too much sugar! Now..a nice martini with a breath of vermouth....mmm

Do they have the Margaritas or Daquris from the machines like big adult slurpees? Or do the they blend everything ? I work at a Margaritas by the yard resturaunt in Las Vegas (LA SALSA @ the LUXOR) and I love the ones from the machines. Here's my tip: A Hurricane made with Mango infused Malibu rum , oh it's to die for!

Cheers!

Luckey-
They blend everything from scratch, as far as I've seen. What you describe sounds good, but I think a Hurricane infused with almost anything is going to be yummy.

Personally, I like a 22-ounce Disney souvenier mug infused with beer.

I think I'll stick with the girls and the fruity drinks, although I have been known to do a shot of Tres Generations from time to time.

Did the soccermom and dad grow up playing soccer or is it only the kids?
I played in AYSO Reg 59 Orange County my whole life, Then at Pacifica HS, College ball at CSULB and finally the OC womens soccer league on the sting.

Don't ask me how I wound up with a figure skating daughter !

[soccerdad-Chris]

Soccermom played some while growing up---also in Orange County. Soccer was one of my passions growing up, and still is (though I mostly watch now, and coach a little). As a kid, I played on competitive teams that travelled around the state.

Our DIS screen names, though, are inspired primarily from the fact that DS Timmy is a young soccer-stud, and a fair number of our weekends are spent on the road at soccer tournaments (e.g. last week we were in San Bernardino, and this weekend we'll be in Lancaster (yeccchhh!!).

Chris

 

[RonnieJo66]

Lancaster?? Oh Boy!!

Beats what I'll be doing this weekend though, I assure you.


I'm with you on the beer mug thing, Chris. Mine got swiped out of my suite last year though! I think housekeeping picked it up amongst all those wine glasses we had all over the place.
Now I only have 4 of those mugs at home!

You and Cheri should be receiving a DVD from me in a day or 2. It's pretty silly, actually, but I hope you get a laugh out of it. Word of warning though: it is NOT child appropriate!

Anybody catch the recent news article about the new Disney ship?? They're waiting for the dollar to gain on the euro before they get going on it, but at least it's more than just a pie-in-the-sky thought now! Still, it could be years before she sails. Put me down for the, um, Eisner suite, man!

One of these days I'll remember to log out of DW's account before I post. Sheesh.

One of the moms from my skating rink was at Disneyland last Wednesday and it was a very slow day , so she began to talk to the CM's there. She said that they were very excited ablout the new Disneyland President who used to be in charge of DCL. They also said that the west coast cruise would become a permanent thing. She did'nt ask about a new ship but we wondered if maybe they'll do west coast during Hurricane season until the new ship is ready. It will be a great thing for us west coasters!

Put me down for the, um, Eisner suite, man!

Well, it is the weekend!! Time to shop!! Is there a list anywhere of what nights are what?? Like Tropical night, formal night?? There is a new Tommy Bahama shop in my mall and I am going to go see what is "Cruise Worthy"!

 

[soccerdad-Chris]

Betsy,
I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes (often, some would say), but I missed the correlation between the Eisner suite and shopping at Tommy Bahama. Did I miss something?
Chris

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

no..I was laughing on the floor with thoughts of an Eisner suite...then my mind snapped right back to shopping ( where it usually resides )

 

[luckey-lasvegas]

Hey I want a count down ! How do you get that thing to come up after you post?

Luckey

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

Click here for Timer site..

There is instructions on the Tech Boards I believe...you need to copy and paste the script into your signature
Tech boards

 

[luckey-lasvegas]

Too many rules. I'll just look at yours.
Luckey

 

[BeanoC]

Oh, c'mon, luckey!

Countdown timers are FUN!! It's always great, especially during the last few weeks and days, to log on and see the time say 12 days...

11 days...

10 days...


Then pretty soon, 12 hours...

11 hours...

It's exciting as the cruise draws near.




You can do it!!

That is simply the greatest idea in the history of mankind. Beano, I knew my trust in your ideas about the piano was well-placed!!
