Podcast Cruise 2.0 Thread FIVE

[mainegal]

Good morning, all!

Last night I realized that I had already started packing last summer!

There is a big bag in the closet full of things to take with me to WDW. Two clear Mickey ponchos, a DIS Unplugged t-shirt (turns out it does fit after all, but it is very short), a small notebook that will serve as an autograph book, some Winnie the Pooh happy meal dolls to share. My passport, Magical Express info, park ticket, and airline paperwork also in the bag now.

Good morning all!

Wishing you a great week. Just a freindly reminder to cherish every minute; especially time spent at the Disney parks and on the Disney Cruise Line! Woot!

Why is it sleeting here????? It's way too early for this.

Happy Monday folks!

Rick got to Vinylmation store at 5AM and was 76th in line! Next year I am spending night

The first 25 folks in the store took all 16 shelves of the vinylmation goodies that were marked down 70%..

Oh well, earlybird gets worm and all of that (I did score 2 of the "Orange Bird" passholders vinylmation limited series of 1000... they limited it to two per customer)

Ghiradelli had a great sale on bags of 80 squares for $23 (plus you got a free hot chocolate and a chocolate roll)

Lori has many many bags... I am sure she will report later

Sounds like a lot of fun! Thx a mint for sharing your experience!

No Mickey Mail for me either. Just a car that went cluck. Will hear from the shop tomorrow with what is wrong and how much its gonna cost.....

No Mickey mail here either...sigh. Car repairs always suck Hope it's something small

We got our docs on Friday, I like the new style booklet you get. I put up our Christmas tree yesterday so we'll have about a month of pretty lights before we go. It'll look less bare when we get back too - although nothing like WDW will be I actually had quite a productive day, raked all the leave in the front garden, planted about 100 tulip bulbs (I do hope they grow!), ordered the PCC 2.0 shirts, ironing and Gav got his cider bottled - he says it tastes ok! It's not something I would drink myself but we'll give a bottle or two to family as an extra Christmas pressie!

Good job! Temps are supposed to hit 50+ this week so I suppose I'll go out and clean up some of the beds some eves. The leaves have gotten trapped in the beds and it looks ghastly - fine for Halloween, tho I guess I should take care of it now

Make it a great week all!

cheers,

Good morning everyone! I just finished listening to the email show and was so happy to hear the group talking about the Podcast Cruise! I was feeling a little sad because there just seemed like there wasn't as much enthusiasm about this cruise as there was for the first one. From the sound of it that is not true!
I now have a big smile back on my face and to top that off the mailman just came and brought my cruise documents!

Happy Monday Everyone! We got our docs on Friday I have 33 days to go!

This weekend was spent running around all day with the girls on Sat. (picking one up from a sleepover, taking her to girlscouts, coming home picking up the other, then picking up the one at GS to take both to see Fame at a local HS) Ended Sat. night taking out beads and braids to get ready for cheer competition on Sun. Competition went better than expected: DD9 Grand Champion for dance and cheer and DD14 Grand Champion for cheer. All in all a pretty busy weekend.

I hoe you get to feeling better soon! If it makes you feel better I refuse to let myself pack just yet for fear I might just not finish this term of classes!

I'm glad you are doing okay. Sitting around and doing nothing sounds wonderful, until you are forced to do it.

Purchased my MVMCP ticket today for the 16th!!!

Yeah, guess I'd better do that, too.
I also want to buy La Nouba tickets.

Where is the best place to buy these kind of tickets?
Disney? Dreams? Undercover Tourist?

 

[jediobiwan]

I'm so excited today!
(If any of you have seen the SNL suprise skits with the woman who's so freakin' excited...I have been imitating her today)
A) Got a decent off-property, 3 star, 3 nights post cruise, $131 with tax! Much better than the $140 plus tax I was looking at for two days. Now I just have to figure out what we will actually do! I know I want to resort hop at some point.
B) Got our CafePress order! Was so excited about that but then was kinda bummed when one of the t-shirts was cracked after washing per instructions the first time. The other color of that same shirt was fine so I knew it was something wrong as I did everything the same. I did put in a request with CafePress and within an hour they told me they were sending a new one and I should discard the bad one (CC shirt anyone? ) So if anyone has any problems, make sure to contact them.
C) Booked ICE+SNOW tickets for right after the cruise. We will be drivng down Saturday before cruise, staying at Radisson for a night, then leaving the cruise and going straight to ICE, then check-in at the hotel (which is conveniently within 10 minutes of Gaylord (wonder if I can skip the $11 parking at Gaylord and walk?), then over to MK for MVMCP! I guess we will do some resort hopping the next day or two.

Hope everyone is excited!

Ya got that right....although, I must say, I'm getting spoiled with having all my meals prepared for me...the doctor gave Steve orders that I am NOT to touch any kitchen applicances for 1 week....
