October 7, 2006 Western "Latitude Adjustment Cruise"

[daisy112878]

tross - thanks for calling. DH is very excited about seeing pirates #2. We never got around to going to see it when it came out. Hopefully yall will hear soon about your mom's results. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!

Has anyone gone to Playa Mia in Cozumel and can give us some details Also in Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach or Rum Point for Snorkeling. Or is there something closer? Thanks for the help

 

[tross]

Daisy that will be so cool to see Pirates for the first time on the ship. I think I read it plays on Pirate night out by the pool. My 3 were desperate to see that one when it came out but will enjoy seeing it again in that setting.

Thanks for the invitation, what happened to Scoops?

Is anyone going to Chankabaab in Cozomel? We are going to take a taxi so that we can spend longer there, we found the disney ex spent too much time waiting on the dock and too little on the beach.

Palos is all booked out! Does anyone know if they save some spots to book onboard or have we blown it? Is there a group booking for the "back room" at all for the lattitude adjustment cruise?

sorry for all the questions, just trying to catch up!
Carole

PS we are on late dining, not sure the kids will stay up though

cruzincricketts - Scoops = Goofy's Gallary. When the Magic went into dry dock last Oct. it got changed. They don't just serve ice cream any more. They have different sandwiches, fruit and ice cream. I've heard the sandwiches are really good.

Definitly go to Rockin Bar D where they do Palo reservations. They do hold back some times for boarding day. I'm hoping it get a tea time for my mom and I at Palo.

ATTENTION: LAST CHANCE TO SUBMIT INFO FOR THE LIST!!! If you have not submitted your info or have, but left out your room number, you have until Tuesday afternoon to send me the info. I will be mailing the Final Edition on Tuesday evening. I have to finish up everyones (who has given me room numbers!) suprises before we depart.

Any chance some last minute newbies can crash this party?

We are already here at the Beach Club for a few days before the cruise.
this is a late birthday/anniversary/soon to start new job cruise for us. It will be me, DH Antony, DDs 9,4 & 2.

Could we buy some green bands from you at the party/port?

Carole

Aboard!! There is always room for more! Unfortunately, I have about 4 wristbands left and about 10 people wanting them. I have told everyone I will have them with me. The first to find me and ask, gets them. We have a list going as well. If you would like to be added to the list, let me know ASAP. Have fun at BC!!

Here is the generic post for the list:

We have a "list" going for this cruise. This is totally optional. None of us will think any less of anyone who chooses not to participate in the list. Every time someone joins in or there are any corrections made to the list, I will e-mail everyone on the list a new list. The list contains some or all of the following information:

-DIS-name
-E-mail address
-First names, ages if desired, and Occupation of adults
-Pirate Name (if you like...see link in signature)
-First names and ages of children (so the children will know if there are others their age)
-Dining session
-Stateroom #
-Hometown
-Where you are staying night B4 cruise
-Special occasion to be celebrated during cruise (if any)

If there is any info you don't know yet, you can leave it off, and add it later.
If you would like to be included on the list, pm me or e-mail using the link in my signature and I will add you to the list! I send the list attached as a Word document and I scan it for viruses every time. If you want to participate and require a different format, let me know and I will try to accommodate you.

I pin trade and plan on bringing a book - I have several older pins - 2-3 years ago - LE's and such.

See you there

I know this was probably on an earlier post, but what do I need to bring to decorate our door?

Sorry I missed this post earlier, but bring anything you want to decorate your door. Just be sure it's magnetic or you have some tape.

Two years ago when we first cruized disney, Palo was booked so when we got on board we had them put on a waiting list. They DID call us when something became available

Mom got a green light for travel so we're a go!

Allen for the cruise Dis lists and have a safe trip.

Packing finished?? Not hardly! I may need no doze. How will I ever focus on work for the rest of the week?

 

[Vocaleze]

Packing is over-rated.
I have some things in a pile - does that count?? We depart on Sat AM from the house - drive over to Port. Of course I will be in the car at 6am ready to go!!!


This will is definitely be a lost work week...

 

[napfam5]

Packed?? We will pack on Friday morning before we leave!! Maybe we dont have enough clothes to pack so far ahead?? ....I dont know, Im not organized enough to pack this early.....Four more days!!!

 

[daisy112878]

tross - Doing the dance for you!!!!!!! I'm so glad things worked out for yall.


Packed??? Yea right!!! I worked until 830pm last night and dh didn't get home until 1030pm. I have to drive into atlanta tonight, tomorrow afternoon and friday afternoon. Building a house and going on a vacation isn't the best thing. Our builder started freaking out on us when we told them we were leaving for a week. So now we have to do our private inspection, pre-dry wall meeting with the builder, lighting appointment and electrical man appointment all between now and thursday night. Not to mention I have tons to get done at work. I'm going to need a vacation after these 3 days!!!!

 

[BigRed1]

You guys are up early this morning! I have to go put in an appearance at work this morning...then gas-up, clean and load the Suburban!!!!!

 

[dolphf16]

tross,
Congratulations! That is great news!

Allen, I want to send you a big THANKS for organizing all of this. I know the list and bracelets were a lot of work. Not to mention helping track down some stranded cruisers..... You truly are the Julie McCoy (new and improved of course) of our cruise. I propose that everyone purchases BigRed one adult beverage (at least) for his efforts! That should keep him taken care of for at least a day or two.

Still on pins and needles here as to whether DH will make it back in time. Sure hope we can make it. I've started packing just in case...

Tora

 

[pit303]

trying to pack in PA. Everytime I think I have it together I find something else I want to take!!! I will be doing the last minute thing Wednesday night and very early Thursday morning before heading to the airport.

Allen Thank You Thank You Thank You for all your work. Hope to meet you in person Thursday night at the Radisson we should be there around 4 we land at 1:00 if all goes well!!!

Yes thanks Allen for being our fearless leader and all the kindness you've shown with the time spent answering questions, the wrist bands, the list, and even a surprise?

Looking forward to meeting you. Have safe travels.
