[TheDisneyGirl02]

My Disney ringtones include:

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah - my main ringtone
Supercalifragilistic... - for my Mom
DCL Horn - for my future DIL
Mickey Mouse March - for my sister
and my sons have the Imperial March (Star Wars) and the Indiana Jones Theme.

(this is on my I-phone).

Love hearing the horn - just need to get her to call a little more often!!

I didn't know I was the horn! Now I'll think of that everytime I call you!

Lynne,

Got back yesterday and the weather was OK but not brilliant! I agree this is one of the worse summers I remember and yet weren't we told we would have a heat wave? Oh well.

So have you booked Ed-Barc yet? How did the prices look?

Weather is just SO depressing.

Prices are 75 per person with 25kg luggage, only probs is flight is 6am wed, I would have prefered thursday, but it would be so easy from edinburgh, it is not the length of hols,it is leaving my beagles for so long! Probaby book this week.
I think I will book as I have seen nice apartments for rent for 3 nights and 3 nights is the minimuim.
It is just nice for the 4 of us chatting at night and stuff rather than sitting in a hotel room.

Hi Chasity. Me and boyfriend Dan (29 & 32 respectively) are travelling on this one too. Glad you've joined us. Seems like you have a few exciting trips ahead! I loved watching all the info from Comic-Con this year on the web. Did you go to this years? It looked fab!

just cause your under 30 Sarah you just had to tell us!!!!!

Now last time they started boarding around 12 I believe from what I remember.

Perfect, apartment chucks you out at 11am.

Right now I have the following movie quote:
Barbossa: Turns out you're a hard man to predict.
Captain Jack: Me? I'm dishonest and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they are going to do something incredibly...stupid.

I alternate between that, Captain Jack's theme song, and the opening song from the 3rd movie.



Welcome aboard Chasity and Gus!!!

By the time thats all over all the people I know would have hung up, you get 4 rings then they are gone I love it though!

My Disney ringtones include:

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah - my main ringtone
Supercalifragilistic... - for my Mom
DCL Horn - for my future DIL
Mickey Mouse March - for my sister
and my sons have the Imperial March (Star Wars) and the Indiana Jones Theme.

(this is on my I-phone).

Love hearing the horn - just need to get her to call a little more often!!

I had zipidedooda, untill I got a horrible phone call, which totally wasted it for me and I had to find a new one!

I thought I would stop by and say hello. It has been a long time since I was on and posted. I was hoping to reconnect with some old cruising companions. I am no longer "FaireyGod Mother" (could not remember my passwrod and changed emails) as some may remember me.

I was hoping to find some activities to join into, but am not really a pirate. Where would I go to see if there are any other "plain folks" planning activities?

Hello.

course you are

We were planning a room tour,book club, a run on CC, I cant think what else.scraapbooking session. Is that what you mean or am I blethering rubbish?


I am waiting for an ipod shuffle coming, corinna has been sweet to me on uk boards, look out all you people who have admitted to an i phone, I will be bugging you for instructions!

 

[Dizneyholic]

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome!!!

Hello from scotland.

It is lovely to meet you too.
It is me and hubby,(Lynne and Len) I am in my thirties, he is,well, lets just say I like an older man
,only joking,he is a few years older.Been married 17 years!!
We have no kids but 2 beagles and 2 horses! which keep us busy and take all our money.
We have just come back from Ca a month ago, my cousin lives in Camarillo,so we were visiting him. I have just been listning to the news about your budget deficit......
I meant to say my mum and dad are cruising with us, Gus and morag, now you couldnt make those names up!
2 gus!

2 Gus's huh? That's a first for us! Well, you can just call mine the Great Gusdini since he's a big magic enthusiast and will perform for you at the drop of a hat.

Welcome, and hello from L.A.

Woody

We're practically neighbors! We're in LA at least once a month for the Hollywood Bowl or Magic Castle. Where abouts are you?

Hi!! Yeah, we did go this year. It was only our second time but we had such a blast! It's quite the event!! It's more pop culture nowadays then just comic books so there's so much to do and see, it's overwhelming!!

Ok update on my non room. Just to let you know there is still no update. Roy said it could take a few days. Would I be wrong to call tomorrow. He left a message on Thursday. Do not want to be a bother. But I would really like to know if I am going on this cruise. Hubby wants to pay half the balance but we do not want to do that if it is a no go. Though he said he would resolve it. Would just like to know if I got my handicapped room back. Since they gave it away.

 

[alexturner74]

Ok, we're only about a week and a half from our due date and I think we're about as ready as we'll ever be. Jessica has another appointment tomorrow to see how she's doing. The travel bug bit us so we went to Charleston a couple of weeks ago for our last getaway as a family of three. It had been a whole two months since our last trip somewhere and it felt good to get away. Rosalynn moved into her "big girl" room last week and she's super excited about baby brother (we'll see how long it lasts once he's here)...

LOL we're not all pirates! I'm a princess - how cheesy does that sound! I am 29 honest!

We have a few activites we've come up with I believe:

Bunco was suggested at the beginning
Mini Navigator
Scavenger Hunt
Fish Extender Competition
Castaway Cay 5k
Room Tour

Was that everything? Can't remember them all now

Good price and I agree an apartment would be a bit nicer

just cause your under 30 Sarah you just had to tell us!!!!!

LOL hey I only get 6 more months before I turn 30 so have to make the most of it. Also have to point out as was told off last night that Dan is only 32 in October so technically is 31!

Hello.

I'd ring! It's not going to bother him as I'm sure he understands how frustrating this all is for you. Still sending you hugs and pixie dust.

Alex, glad everything's going well. My best friend over here is due on the 12th so shes in the waiting stage too lol. Good luck to both of you (especially Jessica) and I'm glad Rosalynn likes her new room!

Just an FYI for anyone thinking about getting into Barcelona a day or two early...I just booked 3 nights at Le Meridien (a DCL prefered Hotel) for 179 Euros per night...less then half of what Disney was gonna charge...and they could only get 2 nights!

I am in full tilt planning mode now!

Have to ask the ultimate question - Did you see Johnny Depp?

Yes! We waited over 3 hours to get into the Disney 3D panel because it was before the New Moon panel!! He only came out for a few minutes and didn't really say much but it was a nice few minutes!
Here's the link to our pictures if you want to check them out...my camera was acting up so I didn't get any of JD.

Since Tim Burton is now showing up at D23 for Alice in Wonderland, who knows what other suprise guests they might have....

Thanks for this tibdit! Partner Dude and I just booked it this afternoon as well. Too good of a deal to pass up right now. IF something better comes along we can make a change but comparing this cost to the Disney price, well, it just made sense to do it!

Thanks again!
Michael

 

[Terapin]

Hi! Thanks so much for the tip! We are booked 2 nights before the cruise, too!

Love that we can cancel if we make different plans...

 

[pilk]

Now that we have finished our visit with our DIS friends Lyn (lyn9856) and Bob and told them we'll be joining them on the cruise we can post it here.

It will be our second cruise (1st May 2008). Just me and my DW.
