We have one in edinburgh, it is a house paid for by ronymac charity at the hospital where family can stay with sick patients(i thought kids only)

Yes, for families of seriously ill children. We did our Give a Day for Disney at the local RMH. They had a basket of the free (or included??) hotel toiletries on the counter and that is how I know they appreciate getting them.

Are we going to have a poll?

What happened with the dining, Im thinking that it is time to link dining
I am on late dining, who was taking are of it? Angel sarah?
A few folks said they they wanted to link with the "scottish nutters"
Stand and be counted ye all!

We need to wait until after everyone can make Palo reservations. Otherwise, you cannot make a ressie while someone you are linked to is making on.

Do we have a date that we are going to link ressie and who is going to keep the spreadsheet?

Maybe around June 30??? I think pretty much everyone would be paid in full by that date and newcomers would have joined.

Just my thoughts...

Hey did anyone see someone posted a special gift they got on the cruise. I hope we get one of these for our cruise:

Nice!

Oh i was a lurker for a long time too...

it's my first DC so didn't think i'd have much to bring to the forum, but it's been super fun being able to get excited with like minded people. I try not to mention it too much at work think my work friends think i'm a bit odd taking about Fish extenders, candy swaps and decorating my door

We know how that is talking to Non-Disney people about our addiction. They think we are NUTS!! Thank goodness for our DIS friends that understand us.

When we have been at WDW we usually have a drawer that we use to store all the soap, shampoo, etc in. We got more everyday. We took it home gladly. It's great for the kids' swimming lesson post-showers, camping, etc. On our cruise we did the same thing, and mentioned to our stateroom host that we liked the shampoo and we had lots! We have two rooms this cruise so I am already thinking about the copious amounts of toiletries I hope to bring home. DH thinks I am nuts. I get a little thrill whenever I use the products at home, and the smell evokes that happy vacation feeling.

I still have a couple of the old Minnie lotions in the cardboard containers. I love that smell, it is so Disney Cruises!

PS. I am PIF, the rest is all for Angie, lol.

I'm on it!

I hope you can still go if Angie defaults on on payment!!!

She left us so little to pay that I think even I can handle it!!

Just my thoughts...

It is not the PIF that matters, it is the ability to book Palo. I think the new folks are at 45 days, is that correct? I am doing the linking for early dining.

I've been watching all the conversation about dinner attire and formal nights vs. semi vs. cruise casual, etc....but I haven't ever thrown in my two cents...but I'm procrastinating getting work done so now seems as good a time as any!

I know I'm in the minority here...but I'm hoping for 2 formal nights---that will give me and Jason a chance to wear our various Disney-themed tie/vest and tie/cummerbund (sp?) sets!

People who have cruised with us before know we have this "thing" about dinner attire. I should preface this by saying that at home we never dress up----EVER. Jason works in a very casual job where he can basically wear what he wants to it's jeans and Tshirts or polo shirts most days. I have a "business casual" job where I have to wear khaki pants and most days I wear a polo shirt or MAYBE a collared shirt....but NEVER a tie. And we NEVER wear suits except to funerals and weddings!

On our cruises, however, we wear ties to dinner every single night----we wear DISNEY ties!! This all started on our last TA cruise, the EBTA in 2007. On that cruise we decided we were going to bring a different disney-themed tie for every night of the cruise----and the tradition has stuck! Sometimes we wear the same matching tie....sometimes we wear coordinating ties (like they are different ties but have the same character and/or film theme)...sometimes we just wear whatever ties that don't go together at all....but we wear Disney ties every night. Many of the ties I have scrounged up on ebay over the past couple years, but I have also taken to actually buying fabric and MAKING us ties when I can find fun Disney fabric. I've done the same thing with our formal wear. We have one set of mickey mouse vest/bowties that we bought...but I have since made us several different matching sets of ties and vests or cummerbunds----Mickey Mouse, Disney Princesses, Little Mermaid, 101 Dalmations (that's the photo of us in my signature), Finding Nemo, Tinker Bell----we even have a set of "Golden Mickeys" vests and ties I made after our last cruise for us to wear on Golden Mickey's night----only to find that they got rid of that show!!! (We will probably keep the magic alive by wearing that set on this cruise anyway, though).

So anyhow...we're at the point now where we own just under 50 Disney neckties and at least 6 formal Disney bowtie/vest/cummerbund sets----and we will be bringing and wearing them all....so on the B2B cruise we intend to keep the tradition alive by wearing a Disney tie or formal set to dinner every night----and never wearing the same one twice!!! (As guys we're fortunate we can launder and recycle the dress shirts & slacks and then just wear different ties----so it seems like a whole new outfit LOL).

So if you end up seated near us in the dining room(s), make sure you take note of what the tie for the day is!!

This is AWESOME!!! I hope that we get to see them all!!

I am hoping for the larger number of formal and semi as well. Moslty because my son (13) will actually dress for this!! Its fun!! Now I just need to find DH and DS matching tie/summerbunds sets... Where does one get these?

I have seen a few sites but Erik and Jason may know more:

Whilst I was voting for the webby people's choice awards, I came across this site for Tom Selleck fans.

I am like this! Last September I mentioned to Maricar that I loved the shampoo and she hooked me up with a 2nd Castaway Club tote bag FULL of shampoo, conditioner, body butter and sun burn stuff!

I had been going through the shampoo pretty quick, but set a few aside - used it today and am SO ready to set sail now... 139 days until we head to Spain... tick tock....

 

[gismo1554]

Oh wow, sounds very difficult to me.

LOL I do too! Not sure why I applied to do this now!

You will remember why when you are finished!

What a great idea!! I wish I could use the shampoo but with my Brazilian Blowout, I need to use special shampoo.
