Self Party Posse Sept. 10th Magic

[fltink]

"Comandeer....nautical term!" Sorry....I'm a bit obsessed with "Pirates of the Caribbean" and my good pal, Captain Jack Sparrow!

avast, maties.

donna, we missed you so much on 80s night. we *almost* poured out for our fallen homie, but figured you'd rather us drink the alcohol. don't worry, that's one more thing to look forward to when we next cruise together.

my one huge cruise regret is that i had no sense of taste when we ate dinner at Palo! man, i am still kicking myself about that. not my fault...i was getting sick, and there wasn't anything i could do. the ship's shops had NO cold medicine except for nyquil. so i am looking forward to my next dinner at Palo and actually tasting the food.

and donna, it's the Humpty Dance, here's your chance, to do the hump! Do the humpty hump, do the humpty hump! ring any bells? i'm not going to post the lyrics cause i'm trying to "Keep It Disney" but you can look them up..."Humpty Dance" by Digital Underground. amazing that they played that song so much on the ship! that and "walk this way!" i wonder if they play so much nasty music because the people who work on the ship are mostly not from the US so they don't understand the slang references to naughty things. i mean, they played "walk this way" at the pirate party! with KIDS around!!! not that i'm complaining...i don't mind...i was just suprised.

dudes, thanks for posting so much and entertaining me during work!

 

[Donnica]

Jay, I'm glad to hear you have accepted your fate. The good thing is you know you're not alone and we will be there for you holding you close while in the chicken tender line.

Drinks on you? Ok wait.... are you saying that you will drink other then on a cruise? <blink> Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!! You pourin the first konk kooler? Notice I didn't say bahama mama for you.

I have to say that having been on the Disney Cruise it makes me want to go to WDW again. I haven't been in like 5 years! that year I think I was there 3 times in a year and a half. Ok so what are you trying to say? I can tend to obsess? Is that what your saying? Well... I think you need to take a long look in the mirror... mmm hmmm you know who you are.. all of you! (note : we DO have mirrors unlike the chick in the bikini that clearly had NO business doing so!) But you didn't hear that from me.

 

[stina]

i'm pulling a jenn n jay...this is christine, not christina...she's logged in here and i'm too lazy to log on myself.

okay, so which one of you is going to write into the "most shocking thing you've seen on DCL" thread? i want to have the dirty dancing lift skirt incident immortalized on that thread! that is a HILARIOUS story....i would post it, but i didn't actually see it, i came in right after, so me posting it would be a lie. i think stina or jenn or david or heather should post it. heather and david's version is the funniest!

now i...had..the time of my li-hi-hife!

 

[fltink]

Morning, SPP!
Donnica, that's perfect! You can come down and help me move and we'll go to WDW! OR you can just come visit once I am moved in. I think we would have a LOT more fun on this WDW trip than the last time we went together!
Christine, that event WAS hysterical on 80's night! I almost peed myself!

 

[Jay arrrrgh!!!!]

Donnica, I am glad to read that Jenn is moving in alone down there and asking you to help HER move in, so you two can enjoy WDW!!!!
Don't worry I'll locate my own posse to bounce wit!!!!

We can't wait to see you all on the 15th - we'll all have to just drink enough to make the house feel as if its rocking on the open seas!!!

 

[hannacanna]

i am sure we won't have any trouble swaying with the waves on the 15th!
i have a feeling that christina and i will be having a mini-80s party tonight...she just got me Purple Rain on cd and my boss (who i LOVE) just announced she is leaving my department! it wasn't a suprise but i am bummed. so bring on the prince and the rum. after today's nightmare day at work, i am going to need to relive some good memories.

hope y'all's days are going better.

 

[fltink]

I didn't mean that you weren't moving, too....I meant if I have to leave BEFORE you do, so I won't be lonely without you, Jay!

 

[stina]

yeah, jenn's gonna be married to the Mouse, jay!

hey forgot to tell you, christine and i are "disney married" as we like to say, we have our two little faces permanently imprinted on the leave a legacy. we'll have to tell you our tile # so you can see it! see, so it'll be like we're right there with you...

stina

 

[fltink]

I actually bought Jay a gift certificate for a tile two Christmases ago. Maybe we'll get one done now that I am Mrs. Wakelin

 

[stina]

definitely get a tile. it is the coolest thing ever. we got ours for free last year, it was part of our special package that we got. we got to choose mini golf or a free tile. duh. of COURSE i want to be immortalized at WDW! wish i had had the foresight to get one of those ingraved stone walkway plates at magic kingdom. those are the coolest.

only 16 days until cruise reunion! yeehaw!

stina

 

[Donnica]

Hidy ho!

Jay I could never fill your shoes! <seeing at they are like a size 72!>
I'm looking forward to seeing you all on the 15th! So what's the deal with this party anyway? Is it a pajama party? lol I mean if I went to the movies on the ship in my PJ's.... that was fun.

I would love some raw chocolate chip cookie dough right now. What this has to do with ANYTHING is beyond me but I just thought I would share. I think Disney should have that as a desert on the cruise. I need a suggestion box.

 

[Donnica]

So it's official... everyone is envious of my Disney Cruise Line sweater and justifiably so!

It was nice to see Jenn, Heather, Jay, Daniel, Beth and Cady tonight for dinner. It was almost like being at dinner all together at the table on the cruise. Ok who am I kidding... it was nothing like that! LOL But I did have a blue tropical drink... oh wait... two blue tropical drinks. They even give them a tropical name to put me in the mood.

How many days til our reunion?

 

[Donnica]

Ok I have to ask...
why is there a big red banner on the Disboard page with an annoucement about NEW WDW discounts when you click it, it shows 2003 and 2004? Aren't we almost through 2005 now or did I just ahead?

 

[Jay arrrrgh!!!!]

Only 13 days till the land lover deck party at 245 Boylston Street - YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Donna: you can theme the party any way you like if you feel a pajama jammy-jam is essential than i say wear your PJ's!! That's the joy of a self party you can always decide what theme is best applicable for you - Pirate or Luau (the flower was the closes icon to a lei) it will always be extremely fun and hilarious!!!!!!

The Mrs. and I are really looking forward to you all being here - See you real soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[stina]

yeehaw! can't wait for our reunion. i'm jealous y'all went out for dinner and had tropical drinks. though who am i kidding, i've been drinking margaritas even after i got back from the trip, even on a "school night" - guess we didn't fully dry out from our magical madness. and i haven't even washed my jimmy buffett margaritaville tshirt from key west yet. that's how much i love wearing it, can't be parted from it.

heck, i'll take any theme for the party. since we are staying over, pajamas are perfectly fine with me. christine and i thought we'd try to prepare some fun foods for the party to go along with our liquid happiness. we had these amazing nachos at sloppy joe's in key west, and this is the perfect reason to recreate them! jay: you'll definitely have to have chicken fingers. we should recreate our favorite "cruise foods"!

stina

 

[hannacanna]

dudes, i can attest to the fact that stina has not taken that margaritaville shirt off. i'm going to have to sneak it downstairs to the wash, now that i know she hasn't washted it. and it has been 3 weeks.
i can't wait to see you all at the northern exile DCL reunion! i haven't heard the term "pajama jammy jam" since high school---woah! jay, you're takin' me back!
we'll mix up some sloppy joe nacho ingredients to bring with us. might try my hand at key lime pie.
stina and i feel like quite the social butterflies...my mom is coming up on thursday, we're all going to NYC on saturday-monday, and then the reunion on the next saturday!
donna, did you get that cute black sweater with the little white DCL logo? or was there another sweater i didn't see?
too bad david won't be able to make it to the reunion. we'll have to take photos and send them to him. we should have a David's Hot Dance Moves contest!!!

 

[Donnica]

Ok I can honestly say I have never heard the term... pajama jammy jam but then again... I AM old! Not that I don't like term mind you, just never heard of it.

When we were talking cruise food the first food that came to mind for me was chicken fingers LOL How sad is that! With all the really good food we had on the cruise that is what popped into my head and the first thing I thought to bring. I heard all good things about Sloppy Joe's even though we didn't get to go there. Everyone asks me when I say I went to Key West if I went there and are very disapoointed when I say no. I guess if I ever end up back in Key West I will have to take it in.

The sweater I got is blue with the DCL logo on it but is probably the one you are thinking of. I can't believe (neither can Strick) that I spent $54 on a sweater! LOL He was like... it wasn't on sale? LOL Man do I have a rep or what? I have however taken my sweater OFF unlike someone we have heard about and their Jimmy Buffett shirt.

Where is David? I haven't seen him log on here in quite some time. Does he not want to hear about us getting together because it will make him sad? We wish you ccould be here too David, we really do!!!!!!!

 

[fltink]

What up, folks???? So, did any of you see that I had started that thread, "Bad Massage Experiences?" a while ago? I wrote on it about how Heather had that awful massage just to see if anyone else had a problem and a TON of people did! I don't think I'll ever get a massage on DCL again. Though, I do loves me some Rainforest!

 

[hannacanna]

I did see that thread about the massages, Jenn, and I am really suprised. I was hoping Heather just had a bad experience with a bad massage therapist but I guess not. I guess the problems are throughout the spa.

I'd like to try the rainforest room, we had planned on it, but we were so hot and it was so humid every time we got off the ship, that inflicting further humidity onto ourselves was not appealing. Maybe next time. We'll probably do the sting rays in Grand Cayman and then get right back to the ship and do the rainforest room and pool then. Grand Cayman was great, but I'd rather spend more time on the ship next time.

When we planned our cruise and budget (yes, when we came up with the 3 drink maximum), I figured that I'd rather have spa treatments at a place with a system of repeat business. I figure that a therapist who wants repeat customers will do a better job than one who has different customers delivered to her place of business every week.

I hope that Disney catches wind of the bad experiences people have had and does something to improve the spa. There's no excuse for so many bad reports.
