Just spent a fab couple of hours with capt. Jack : )
trying to convince my DH that eye liner on men is very attractive but he's not having any of it!!!

No better way to spend a couple of hours ..... but I think the eyeliner thing only works on Capt Jack ... wouldn't have the same effect on my DH. Although he does look rather attractive in his pirates costume pirate:pirate:

Well talk about obscure!!!!

I had to google her to work out who she was,

Turns out she's some kind of "Margarita Pracatan" entertainer,:rotfl:

Now i'm guessing all of our American cruisers will have to google Margarita Pracatan, :rotfl:

I have to admit I love Margarita !

SW

I think I'll will have to google Margarita Pracatan :rotfl2:
 
I think Charo appeared several times on "The Love Boat."

Yes, three days prior to sailing is the cutoff for excursion cancellation.

I am in Vancouver, ready to board the Magic tomorrow for my 50th birthday cruise to Alaska.

Have a great time Lynne - have a magical birthday too :gift:
 
I was looking at the Aerobus website to see the routes, fares, etc., and I came across these rules of conduct. Maybe it just got lost in translation, but I think the next-to-last "prohibition" is pretty funny.



So baby buggies are the only dangerous or bothering objects allowed on the bus. Of course, anyone who has encountered the crazed stroller drivers at WDW would agree that they are, in fact, dangerous and bothering. :rotfl2:

That is so funny. I would say the occupants of the said buggy could be more 'bothering' though!!!:rotfl2::rotfl2:
 

Have a great birthday Lynne! Have a great cruise, can't wait to hear all about it when you get back :)
 
Well remembered. We have four huge trees in our front garden and several smaller ones in the back, we even took a few out a few years ago. We get lots of lovely wildlife in our garden, loads of cute bunnies at the moment & a few black squirrels, which are pretty rare. Bailey chases absolutely everything but she is only brave if it runs/flies away.....if it stays still then she stops & comes running back in

Tod's like that too, all brave until they head in his direction. Bunnies and squirrels, wow, I love them :lovestruc

thanks for putting up the list, nice to see the ones we want are still available, fingers crossed they stay that way lol,

Just checked DCL again, a few times slots are disappearing, but still lots of availability for everything :thumbsup2

John finished the pin card art so I thought I would share it with you guys. Pin will look just like our logo

They are fantastic, thanks very much to you both :)

How can you see that? I must wait till june 27 and then can I reserve our excursion/port adventures. (first cruisers)
We only want a few, but I liked the 12 metre regatta. Well I see at the time what is possible.
Thanks for the information

We are gold castaway members, so we can log in from 105 days before to book excursions etc and see what is available. I think from memory, your log in window is 75 days.

I need some transfer help!

I need a way to get from the port to Orlando Airport the day we dock. I think our flight is about 1:30pm Any suggestions for a service that will not cost an arm and two legs, and will still get us there in a reasonable amount a time?

If we do car rental, is it far to the pick-up points?

2 adults, 2 children.

THANK YOU!

Dawn, we always hire a car and it is really easy as the pick up coaches are right outside the cruise terminal and drop you off at your car hire pick up. We always use a car so we can have some time either at the parks or DD, rather than waiting at the airport all day if we used a DCL transfer

From what I've read, the Monaco Grand Prix was definitely an eventful race! Unfortunately the TV channel that covers Formula 1 here is only available on cable or via satellite, and we parted ways with our cable provider a number of months ago after having been billed incorrectly yet again. We did manage to watch the opening race of the season as we were away that weekend and the cottage had satellite TV :)

Only 2 weeks now until the Montreal Grand Prix. :woohoo: Paul and I are heading there for the full 3 days - fingers crossed that the weather improves (we've had a lot of rain lately):wizard:

The only DCL excursion we wanted to do was the 12 metre regatta in St.Maarten.:sad2: I do hope that some additional spots are released for our booking window on June 12 :wizard:

Hopefully the excursions are the same as the reservations, there is still some availability onboard so that people aren't prejudiced if they don't have a pc at home :thumbsup2

I am sooo jealous you are going to the Canadian Grand Prix, we are going to miss it, its the weekend after we board the Magic, but we will have recorded it, so can catch up when we get home. We are on our Naples port day that Sunday. I'll be in Herculaneum/Pompeii and you'll be at the Grand Prix, talk about one extreme to the other :lmao:

Hi All

I know some of you like the Dooney and Bourke bags, so thought you might be interested in knowing that www.disneystore.com has some listed in the warehouse clearance section. The site also has an offer of an additional 25% off select clearance items that is valid until the end of day, May 30. You just need to apply the bonus code before you checkout.

Enjoy!

Lorraine you are killing me, there so much on there I NEED to buy. Why oh why is that site so much better than the UK disney site :confused3

I know it won't help now with the discount code, but i've done this several times......I place an order about ten days or so before I fly out & get it delivered to my WDW resort. All you need to do is make sure the delivery address shows the name of the person who your resort reservation is made under and your arrival date, ie Claire Maguire, Arriving 9/24/11. If it arrives before you they will keep it & tell you that you have a parcel when you check in. :thumbsup2

Claire, do you think I would be safe ordering something and they would keep it at the Beach Club for me when I arrive in late July ? Fabbie if it would work :)

You know I am not really sure - our breakfast was on the same day as the PJ breakfast so we did not make it to the PJ breakfast. I personally would do it on the sea day between tortola and Castaway or the very first sea day.

Not on the first sea day please Mandy, I have booked my Palo brunch for that day to stay away from all the fun activities on the 5 sea days. The day between Tortola and CC sounds good :rotfl2:

My adult son and I will be cruising with you all. Please add Karen and Kevin to the list. He is indeed my "dear son", but could you list our ages as "over 21" rather than being specific. I don't think either of us want to admit our ages!

I haven't read the entire board, but it sure seems like there will be a great many nice people on the cruise.

We are not big on organized activities, but we really like being around friendly folks.

I have been on many cruises in the Caribbean, but I have never attempted a crossing before. The idea of packing for such a long time freaks me out, but I am already getting excited about being on the ship for 14 days.

I look forward to meeting everyone,
Karen


:welcome: aboard Karen. We are Mary and DH Stevie from Scotland. This will be our 9th Disney cruise and we did last year's WBTA, which was amazing :lovestruc

on a different note - just got back from my charity walk in dorset. despite honestly thinking a few times that i was going to die on a cliff top in lulworth, i'm really glad i did it, and between the whole group, we've so far raised £23,500 for great ormond street.

Wow Karen, that's brilliant, so very well done :worship:

Not too bothered by the departure of the auctions, but I did like looking at all the artwork and chatting to the artists when they were on board. In fact DD spent almost her whole cruise chatting to the Disney artists on our first trip ... it was a standing joke that she was stalking them. It is her dream to be a concept artist for Disney, so she wa thrilled to have such an opportunity.

We used to love walking past them too on the way to dinner and chatting to lady or man sitting with them.

What a lovely dream to have, I would love to be creative like that :)

Does anyone who is decorating their door have it all worked out yet? I am deciding between a few different themes - Rapunzel, UP or Nemo. There is great art on the disney websites.

How do you typically make your magnets? Do you have them printed or do you print them yourself?

I've just finished printing out our magnets for our cruise next week. We use magnetic A4 paper that goes through your regular printer. It cost about £5 for 10 sheets off ebay, which is the cheapest I could find. I think it is so much easier that using magnetic tape.

I don't usually do a theme, just print out random ones that I like..... you've got me thinking now for the WBTA :lmao::lmao:

:rotfl2::rotfl2:

I saw someone was talking about the movies they hope are playing on board. Can anyone comment from last year about the variety of movies they played last year?

I'll bring home my Buena Vista Threatre Movie list home with me and let you all know what is showing just now on the Magic
 
I think Charo appeared several times on "The Love Boat."

Yes, three days prior to sailing is the cutoff for excursion cancellation.

I am in Vancouver, ready to board the Magic tomorrow for my 50th birthday cruise to Alaska.

Hi Lynne, have a fantastic cruise and I hope you have a wonderful birthday :bday: when it comes. What a lovely treat for your special occasion :lovestruc

P.S. I think you may be boarding the Wonder :)

For us "ole' timers", Charo was big on the circuit of shows like the Merv Griffin or Mike Douglas shows (I can hear it now.....the younger age group is going "Who in the world is Mike Doulgas or Merv Griffin?" :confused::confused:) She always came out showing off her best assets - short skirts and low cut blouses! They always put in the gag of getting her to say Massachusetts....because she couldn't! She was pretty funny. Now I feel really old....guess I'll take my walker over to my rocker where my false teeth are now soaking!:rotfl2::rotfl2:

Have a great birthday Lynn!

Right now it is set on Sunday, Sept 18.... the fourth of five consecutive sea days. It was set a while back before I assumed coordinating it. If we change it, I think we better change it soon since everyone is now making brunch reservations. I did not hear when character breakfasts were on the last WBTA (need to find the link to 2010 Navigators and look through each of those I guess).

I agree - the day between Tortola and CC sounds good, and hopefully that is a day with a very slim chance of a character breakfast being near the end of the cruise??

Would anyone be opposed to changing the Pajama Breakfast date from March 18 to March 22 (sea day) to hopefully avoid conflicts with Character Breakfasts??
 
Happy Birthday Lynne & have a amazing cruise! :cake:

We saw a deer in the field at the end of our road this morning, I think Stamy thought it was another dog. :lmao:

:eek: I hope slots stop disappearing!!!!!

I answered your shopping question by email. :thumbsup2

Just something to bare in mind, I think someone mentioned arranging a big DIS get together (farewell) lunch....i'm not sure who it was though as it's not on the first page? :confused3 It may not clash (depends on times) but I thought i'd mention it incase you weren't aware. :goodvibes
 
hi, has anyone used 1800 fly europe to book there flights, we have seen a really good price for a virgin flight, but never seen them before, thanks
 
First up; welcome to all of the newbees. :thumbsup2

Noel; love the pins, but what is not to love with all the great work you and John are doing? :goodvibes

Lynne; have fun on the Wonder and Happy Birthday! :flower3::wizard:

Karen; give yourself a good pat on the shoulder from me. Wow, did you do amazing fundraising with the walk! :worship:

Mandy; no complaints here about changing, any breakfast is painfull enough for me to get to. :rotfl2:


The morning didn't start off too well, here. I'm no way near a morning person and some other things going on mean that most of the days I'm not out of bed before 10am. Sure enough, ringring, phone woke me up at 7.45 am. :eek: I knew I'ld get a call from the hospital but this was just nuts. Phone call itself wasn't any better. Unbelievable amount of more bureaucrazy, getting no real info anybody could work when wanting to pin something down. One thing that is becoming too painfully clear is that this is another increase of the possibility of me not being able to go on this cruise. I'll watch out for the time being but when this is all over, I am so going to give them a piece of my mind about their organisation "skills". :headache:

I am so sorry you are going through this. I hope the bureaucracy issues can be overcome and you can be onboard with us.

Is it possible to post on the front page of where people need to go to let others know of there room changes after boarding. (I hope this make sense)
 
Happy Birthday, Lynne!! :)

Mandy 22nd is good for us. I had a look through the navigators previously and it didn't give any clues :confused3

Hold on, just a thought. There is the DISers lunch on 22nd. If we moved the PJ breakfast to 9 am.... would that mean we had made some room for lunch later on?

Am I making this worse ? Sorry !!!

I will add it to one of my posts on the first page as I will be putting the whiteboard on my stateroom door for any room change notices. :thumbsup2
