Remembering "Live From the 8/19/06 Magic"

Jeff, how funny. My friend Cherry is the one who checked your ID's at the gate. I forgot to tell her that I had mentioned to you to pass her a note, well, she comes up to the breakroom and says to me that at first she thought she was getting passed a ransom note...lol. It was pretty funny, she said how cool of an idea that was to surprise your family. So how's the suite?

Hope everyone is having a great time.

BTW, thanks for my DIS Green Pen, I've added it to our collection of Disney things.

Glad to hear that all went as you hoped!! Sounds like yall are having a great time.

We future cruisers have a question for those on a current cruise. It's being reported on Passporters that Disney is no longer doing the pillowcase signing. Is there anyway someone who is on a current cruise could let the rest of us know if this is true or not? TIA!

I was hoping to give you the pen at Grills but since I didn't meet you I gave the pen to Andy for you. It was my gift to those people who wanted one.

Funny story to share............One of the people we had brunch with was Sandygirl. We just found out today that her room had been upgraded and her new number wasn't on the list !!! So I was wondering what happened to all of her fish mail. I personally had sent her 2. Chuck & I went to the orginal cabin and saw the Tag your it magnet on the door. Wonder how long that was out of play.

We knocked on the door and a woman asked who was there, she really didn't want to open the door. We told her fish mail was being sent there by mistake and was wondering if she had any. She told us to come in and showed us all this stuff on her table.


She thought it was hysterical and some kind of joke that DCL was pulling on her. We gathered all the mail and put it on Sandy's door.


We had brunch today and yes it was fantastic. We had some rain, thunder so the pool games were cancelled. I hope we can try again on Thursday. Well guess that's it for now. Tina

If I had to guess I would say that's NOT TRUE. I dropped off a mat to have everyone sign. Guest Services told me it would be ready on last night. I also left my passport with them because every port they will get it stamped for me. I made a copy for just in case that I will bring with to Mexico.

Thanks for getting back to me! I called DCL and they confirmed they are still doing the signings. I'm doing the passport thing this time around myself. Never done it and I'm excited to have that done.

Thanks again!

My family and I were invitied by Buddy Bear and his family to visit them in the Roy Dinsey Suite this afternoon, all I can say about the suite is W-O-W, way-out-wonderful!!! I also got to meet Chuck from All Seasons Travel as he was also visiting with Buddy Bear when we arrived.

I found out this afternoon that we will be having a group photo taken Thursday afternoon on deck 3 in front of the Mickey statue at 3:30.

Tonight is Formal Night and I need to head back to the cabin and start getting ready. My DW asked me to check my e-mails to check on our kitty back home.

Thanks Again Jeff, we really enjoyed the tour, my DD was really impressed, as were the rest of us!!! My DD took more pics then I did, but since she didn't bring the USB cable for her camera, I will have to wait until we get home to load those photos into my computer.

That's all for now!!!

Jeff,
Glad it all worked out for you. It must have been so hard not to say a thing. Can't wait to see the video.

How awesome! I am really enjoying your reports. Thank you for sharing!

 

[Jillpie]

Andy, thanks so much for your live reports. I am loving them!! I especially love your pictures, loved Pikey! Please continue, and have a blast on Costa Maya.

 

[faireygod mother]

Guys I am really enjoying living through your stories. What a nice bunch of people. I will eagelry await your report of Costa Maya.

Have a great time.

I'm loving this thread! I do have a favor to ask (if possible). Would someone be willing to ask at the excursion desk as to why DCL no longer offers the Clear Kayak and Snorkel excursion at Cozumel. It was listed in the passporter, but it seems that Disney no longer works with that vendor. We could book it on our own, but I'm fearful to do that if DCL's reason has something to do with the quality of the tour, or problems with the vendor. Would someone be willing to ask for me?

We are enjoying your live coverage! Only wishing we were there too!!

Andy, we love your blog. It's especially nice knowing who you are referring to when you speak about your family. They are all so nice. I know you had early dining on our May cruise. Do you like late dining better? We are scheduled for late dining on our next cruise, though waitlisted for the early dining but may just keep it to try it out. Have a wonderful rest of your trip!

 

[2angelsinheaven]

Congrats on joining DVC, it's in the works for DFiance and I as well.

 

[2angelsinheaven]

Oh yes and Andy thanks for letting us in on your cruise, it's almost like being there. =o)
Tell Angelina "Happy Birthday" from John and I. Enjoy!

 

[LAMPSKIES]

Way to go Tina!!!

I think we are about ready to sail. I had to take Angelina to Walmart about 1:30 this morning because she forgot to pack the charger for her ipod. Well, as fate would have it, we bought the charger, but there wasn't the USB cable with it. So, since this is Angelina's Sweet 16th Birthday Cruise, dad did what he had to do and bought her a NEW ipod, and not just any ipod, then new one on the market that plays videos as well as music, and shows photos as well. The one good thing about this is, dad gets the old ipod that he can use while walking around reading meters, which is paying for this trip, LOL!!!

*Making note* If DD forgets charger before the sailing it may be intentional for the new version!!!! LOL

Just caught this thread now Andy and all....have a GREAT sailing..........
