Roll Call Wonder July 21, 2002

Frankie, I think as long as you're wearing a lei , the color is not crucial. I know my DD would prefer a pink or purple lei anyway.
I haven't bought our leis yet. I was going to get them today.
Really!
The color green was suggested by someone on another post. As long as we can all get to the meeting spot , we should be ok regardless of lei color.
(promenade, deck 3, 3:00pm)
I'm actually packing now!!

Hi Laurie, tell your DD IM not wearing a Pink lei, no way no how, I was pushing it with the green one but Pink. Yea they have tons of pink ones, they had tons of yellow,red,blue,orange... one guy had the nerve to show me leis made out of flowers with a touch of green in them I will try one more place if they don't have it I will get the pink ones...(just kidding) I will get blue ones they come close to green anyway, just look for Frankie from Brooklyn with either green or blue leis, can't miss me...everyone can tell when someone is from Brooklyn, just by my voice. I will be there 3:00 better yet if my daughter at that time is driving me crazy, then look for Frankie from Brooklyn with either the green or blue lei hanging from the side of the ship...I will lokk like part of the ship anyway no one will know

I couldn't find a lei tonight, but I only went to Walmart. Needed cat food so our cats won't starve while we're gone. Hiring some teenagers to cat sit for us. (watch tv and pet our cats- what a job!)
Frankie I didn't mean that the guys had to wear pink leis. Blue will be fine. I have a couple of places to try tomorrow.
Oh, doesn't Goofy hang off the side of the ship too?

Oh! I forgot . Won't the Polynesian Resort have leis? Last time we were at WDW we had the Character breakfast at the Polynesian. I'm sure they handed out leis.
My brother proposed to his now wife at WDW in front of the Magic Kingdom. He bought 2 sidewalk "slates?" to make the proposal. It was our best vacation. Until now that is .

Laurie thanks for getting me off the hook with the pink leis tell your daughter not to be to mad at me but blue looks better on me then pink. I to have one other place to check and if they don't have green then blue it is for me. Well we are done packing all I have to do is pick up a few little things and were good to go, by the way Laurie I bought a box of Bonine just in case anyone might need it so just let me know. It is so hard to find, not as hard as the green lei though IM in the same boat as you Laurie I have to have my in-laws take care of a few of my pets as well, which include a Boxer, an African Grey parrot, and a White-Face Capuchin (monkey) Good luck to my mother-in-law She has her hands full.

Well it sounds like everyone is ready to go, except me. I have decided I need the stress of waiting till the last minute to get ready. (why do I do this to myself). I'm still confused on how dressed up we have to be for the dinners. I'm wearing nice capris for most dinners, but do we have to wear formal attire one night. How formal. Can DH wear dress slacks with dress shirt with button up collar with no tie or with tie? I thought for somereason only the 7 night cruise had formal nights. When you look at the threads regarding formal nights they can get real hostile. He is not looking forward to dressing up since he wears business dress to work all the time, but he will.

We are also leaving mom in charge on 2 dogs and a 1,000 gallon fish pond with about 100 fish. Hope they all survive.

I hope everyone has a safe trip with no problems. Any nice imput regarding dinner dress would be appreciated.

Take care

Anna Mae

Hi Anna Mae, I will be wearing to Triton's a pair of slacks and a button down shirt with black shiny shoes I think. Ibelieve this is the only restaurant you really have to dress up other then Palo's, as forthe other restaurant's I will be wearing a pair of Gap pants (beige pleated) with a collared shirt with a few button's...you know which one's IM talking about. I bought a few different colors and a few different pairs of pants like 2 or 3 thats all. Try the gap, nice collared shirts that only button down from the top and only a few buttons...like 3 or 4 or so. Hope this helps, Iwas in the same boat as you since In my line of work I never dress up so I have no clue when it comes to GQ stuff You can also call DCL and ask them they can tell you exactly what to wear.

 

[MrsScooby]

Hi Everyone!
I found leis at a party store. I bought green for myself, but pink and blue for family.( 39 cents each)
Annamae- There isn't a formal night on the Wonder, but Frankie is right, Tritons and Palo are dressy. At least button down shirts for the guys and dress or nice pantsuit for gals. DCL requests jackets, but not ties. DH is bringing one jacket that will probably spend more time on the back of the chair than on him.
The other two restaurants are casual, but still no jeans or shorts. Dockers, Gap pants would be fine here as would your capris.
You're right , I was surprised how annoyed people got over the dress issue. My TA had told us the first night was casual, regardless of which restaurant you were in. This is because some people may not have their luggage by dinner time. But, I have read many a complaint on these boards about not dressing properly for dinner the first night. Because of this I won't be wearing shorts for dinner the first night, but I'm not wearing anything really dressy either.
Frankie, bring a picture of your pets if you have one. I've never seen a capuchin before!

Hi everyone, well it's one more day for us we leave Thursday 7/18. Off to Orlando Intl. Laurie, I found a place that has green leis, Im going to pick them up this afternoon. I can't believe with all the things to pack the one thing that drove me nutz was a green lei...the very last thing I pack I decided IM not wearing a dinner jacket at Triton's only because the simple reason...I couldn't find one, if worst comes to worst I will rent one there...if tehy have one to match But I also heard the jacket wasn't neccessary. Anyway IM getting ready to go get a few more things, I heard that phone cards as gifts for the crew are a good Idea, just a way of saying thanks, and a few New York Yankee tee's for those special crew members. I like to give gifts and thank you's, something very rare here in Brooklyn

Hello everyone,
I'll be cruising with you all come Sunday, will be my first cruise and I can't wait! I don't think I'll have any green around my neck but we will be honeymooners so maybe some of us will be dinning together Hope we all have a great trip!

 

[Annamae]

Hi all:

Thanks for the input. I don't think my dh would agree to a jacket, but he will wear dress attire. Frankie, how nice to give gifts, I guess you have to after you take the boat over . Laurie, I figured out from those dress boards not to wear shorts to dinner or someone may beat you up (just kidding), so I would never do that, but they sure are intense. Today is my shopping day to get last minute stuff, wish me good luck, like I said I decided to stress myself out and wait last minute. But once we are on the plane, the magic will begin. My kids are now counting down the hours. See you all on the Wonder, have a safe trip. Bye

Anna Mae

 

[MrsScooby]

Just in case someone gets the wrong idea from Frankie's posts-No I am not the Lei Police!
And also I thought they shoot you for wearing shorts to dinner.
magdt- are you getting married this weekend? Congratulations!
Just a few more days!
I'll check back here tomorrow night , then I'm off to PC Friday morning!
Best of luck to all of you and I can't wait to meet you all this weekend!
Laurie
