happy birthday claire!!!


to those who booked the horseriding on st maarten, what time did you choose? we went for 9am, and i've asked if they'll drop us at maho beach afterwards

Karen we have booked same time, 9am, get picked up at port at 8.20am : ))

Unfortunately we spent so long chatting over afternoon tea that we had to dash up Regent Street to the Palladium for the show,

Oh so you went to see The Wizard of OZ..?

What did you think of it, I went to see it a few weeks ago....

Didn't really do it for me I have to say

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAIRE

Question about transfers once we arrive back in Port Canaveral:

We have port --> airport transfers booked when we return. The ship docks at 7:30 and we don't have a flight until 4:45pm!

Obviously we don't want to go to the airport at 8am. Do we have any options to go to, say, Downtown Disney or something and then take DCL transportation to the airport from there instead?

Guess you could always take the DCL transfers to Downtown Disney, then take a cab to the airport.

Does DCL check in your luggage and take it to the airport like they do at the resorts?

Yep, they use several airlines. Seems like it's all the major ones, except Southwest...?

16. If you want a designed DIS tee shirt for this cruise, follow the instruction in this post. DIS Tee shirt

17. Cliffy 97 (Dan and Bruce) are organizing a typical English pub crawl with a date TBD. Info so far is as follows:
On a sea day those who were interested would meet in one of the bars for ( Traditionally a half pint pounded, I would suggest a drink of your choice) and then visit (Crawl) every other bar on the ship at least once.

As we do not have to worry about anything closing or how we are getting home, I would I would imagine we can spend 20-30 min at each location versus the 5-10 min you have on the monopoly pub crawl in London.

Perhaps we can make tshirts up too.

Stay tuned for more details.

17. If anyone wants to organize a postcard exchange, please feel free to start one. What we did las year is bring a postcard from where we lived and left in each other's FE. It is best to limit the number of participants no more than 25 as cost and weight to bring become an issue.

18. If you are interested in joining us for a farewell lunch, contact Claire (Pinky166) to be added to the list.
Come & join us for a farewell DIS lunch on the last sea day. Thursday 22nd Sept at 12.15pm, we are not sure which of the three rotational restaurants will be open on that day, should there be more than one open I have put them in order of preference - 1st Lumiere's, 2nd Parrot Cay or 3rd Animator's Palate.

Please make sure you check your Navigator that morning to see which restaurant is open for lunch as I won't be able to tell you in advance.

Please PM me if you'd like to join us and I will add you to the list, then once onboard notify the restaurant so they can seat us together at some large tables.

Congratulations Lauren! Way to go!

...So a HUGE thank you, i've had a fab day & even managed a bit of clothes shopping for the cruise. I guess I won't be the one wandering around in just my one top & sandals. ...

Sounds like a nice day - and now we won't be wondering if the girl without any pants has been hypnotized.

Welcome aboard carolsherman! It's going to be a blast.

I had my thesis defense today and PASSED! Now I've officially earned this cruise and just have to hang around till graduation with no cares

any other studies in torture you can undertake ?

Okay..... I'm so over being on the fence.........I'm in!!...

Does DCL check in your luggage and take it to the airport like they do at the resorts?

Same here - 9am ride, but our pickup time is 8:15. Guess they know Dennis and I always run late.

Does DCL check in your luggage and take it to the airport like they do at the resorts?

Are you thinking about sending your luggage to the airport and taking Disney transport to WDW? I'm assuming they would have different buses going to the airports and the resorts. I'm wondering if they will take your luggage on one bus if you go on the other.

I was going to suggest taking the DCL bus to the airport and renting a car from there.

Sounds like a nice day - and now we won't be wondering if the girl without any pants has been hypnotized.

I thought I was the only one who was thinking, "What about pants, Claire?"

I saw that earlier but didn't know if the rules were different in regards to customs since this is a transatlantic cruise and not just coming from the Caribbean.

Oh so you went to see The Wizard of OZ..?

What did you think of it, I went to see it a few weeks ago....

Didn't really do it for me I have to say

I thought it was just Ok but nowhere near as good as Wicked (which i've seen 3 times) or some of the other Musicals i've seen.

I certainly wouldn't hurry to go back & see it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAIRE

Thanks.

I guess i'd better explain....

About 500 pages ago on this thread everyone was saying how much shopping they had got done for the cruise & I said I had only got one new top & two pairs of sandals, and the joke became that you would easily be able to spot me waking around the ship.

DH and I might be booking a sneaky couple of nights in London at the end of July as DS is going to a media expo and will be away, and with DD also away, and us both having a weekend off, it is too good an opportunity to miss. Probably will go to see Love Never Dies as I loved it so much and DH hasn't seen it. It would be even better to do a Phantom / Love Never Dies double bill.
