*Sept 10th 2011 WB Transatlantic* From Spain to Space Mountain - Part 4

[MandyGirl]

Someone who was on the EBTA where Ducky was onboard said he isn't going to be on our cruise. Very sad. Perhaps we should have an email campaign!

I recall reading that as well. Bummed he won't be on our cruise. Something with DVC if I remember correctly (?)

Welcome to the newcomers! I'm Jacqueline, cruising solo, earned my nick and am the go-to-girl when wanting to participate in the candyswap.


See, it was predicted already and you were right; we are getting flushed with all kinds of people that are booking this cruise relatively last minute. By the time we get to cruise we'll all need a guidebook just to keep up with all of the names, nicks and who's who.


Karen; if it's no pressure, I'm one of those that would love to know my secret mickey instructions rather earlier than later. Esp. with me now having a bit less time and most of all; possibilities to go shopping and all but spending that time just relaxing and recovering. I have some ideas, depending on who's SM I turn out to be that take some extra time getting done so I'ld really appreciate getting the assignment. Having said that; it's up to the group what we as a group want and you when you have time to do the work.


Noel; sounds like a lovely house, at least spacewise if not more. You got your own walk-in closet. What lady wouldn't love that? I'm sure it probably wasn't when being in the situation of it being a "must", but the regular occasions of needing to dress up sound....... refreshing. I'm not a fashion-girly at all, but somehow I found I do love going all formal once in a while. Besides a cruise I've never had the option (and doubt I ever will, for instance formal isn't even close to dresscode on weddings of family, friends etc), so reading about your history in that department sounds kinda nice. When reading your discription of the house/wardrobe I just could about see you in a room surrounded by (semi)formal dresses on hangers and going "which one for this event"? Curious to see which one you will bring along for this cruise.

Lynne; welcome back! Is it over already!? Seems like only the day before yesterday we sent you off. Can we expect any pics or perhaps even a tripreport? Would love to read all about your adventures!

Liesbeth; you'ld be surprised! You can not "do" disney without running into Kaaskoppen. Seriously, this will be my 5th WDW trip since 2007 and 2nd cruise and I always ran into other Dutchies. Last year we even seemed to trip over them one day, ran into 7 seperate Dutch travelgroups. And that's not even counting the times we ran into Americans that had Dutch roots and just loved to hear some Dutch and such. (got to say, have a soft spot for that though, I love hearing those old familystories that go back even centuries) I'm sure there will be others on this cruise that just simply haven't signed up on here or one of the 2 dutch boards.


Those that have signed up for the candyswap!!! I just answered the PM's I recently got with those wanting to sign up. If you did not get an answer and/or do not see yourself on the list I posted on page 2 of this thread; please sent me a PM!!


Thanks all for the well wishing, really appreciate it! I really need to find out if this hospital offers bedsite internet. It'll be a lot easier reading up on this thread using a netbook than using my smartphone. Esp. with the vast amount of posting getting done on here. Wow.

Yep, I remember reading that as well. Huge shame, imho.

Now that is scary ..... more like a bush tucker trial than anything else. I wouldn't want fish nibbling at my nether-regions !!!!

hi sarah, am i right in thinking you are staying in a hotel in lake buena vista when you are visiting your daughter, if so could you tell us which one, we are thinking of switching our hotel for the last few nights after the cruise and we have looked at this area, thanks susie

Here is the link to the website. It is the #1 rated item on Tripadvisor.com and sounds like fun.

have you done anything like this before? sounds awesome to me but never done anything similar before and dont think i'd be able to convince gary to come either

 

[sue l]

That reminds me .... I wonder if anyone will spot the infamous "naked man of Barcelona" in September .... when we were there last year I think it was too rainy for him to show his face ... and everything else for that matter.

Is he like the Naked Cowboy in Times Square. We have seen him. He actually looks pretty good to me.

5 down, 11 more to go, anyone else want theirs?

 

[Chris&Jeremy]

Received an email from DCL last night requesting our flight information to set up our ground transfers. It's getting more and more real!

 

[karentan]

94 days i think!

 

[karentan]

the scarier thing is that i was just talking to claire about something else, and realised we've gone through 97 pages in 3 weeks!
definately going to end up on part five (or even 6) by the time we cruise!

 

[sue l]

Please count Paul, Vickie and I in for the farewell lunch and secret Mickey reveal on the last day, Yuk, I hate even saying that, "last day", makes me sad just thinking about it after waiting 3 years to actually go on this cruise. Thanks

 

[karentan]

sue, did you want your secret mickey now or later?

Whenever you get to it Karen, I am in no hurry.

I think we'll be half way through Part 6....we seem to be picking up the pace even more as we are getting closer.

Please count Paul, Vickie and I in for the farewell lunch and secret Mickey reveal on the last day, Yuk, I hate even saying that, "last day", makes me sad just thinking about it after waiting 3 years to actually go on this cruise. Thanks

I will add you to the list.

 

[Pixie Dust for Me!]

Wow, 20 pages to catch up on. I'll be glad when I get all of my grants done in June and then I can begin thinking about the cruise! So far 2 down and 8 to go....I just hope that I make it the next few weeks on very little sleep!
