Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.5

[gismo1554]

Well they think they think they know what wrong with my arm. I started to having issue turn my arm face down. They did some tests at the office and they think a have a burst pronator teres muscle. The worst case scenario. I will have an MRI to find out for sure. If it that i may need surgery or months of physical therapy. I'm hoping it heals soon.

Stephen

Oh no! That's not good! All our thoughts are with you!

 

[gismo1554]

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you all kow that I received notice from Autumn at DCL Concierge stating that their dining rotations and themes were incorrect (um, yeah...). She is supposed to get a new sheet with rotations for me. She is also trying to nail down dailing time and if there will be fireworks as we sail from barcelona or not. So, more info on that to come...

However, it will be late tomorrow before I can send as I have to really work tomorrow... Not that I don't work while I am at work (heaven knows I do) but my VP is in the office tomorrow and I am not sure that he cares about DIS like I do...

On a fun note, We cave taken the first chain off of our countdown chain. We are 111 days until we leave for Spain!!

WAHOO!!

Oh can't wait for this!

Does DCL buy back the Euros if we have left overs since we won' need them after this cruise?

Annette

On the WBTA in 2007 I was able to apply my left over Euros to my onboard account.

I hear that last part.....We haven't eaten with "strangers" at dinner since before our 2007 EBTA cruise. We've been on 4 cruises since then and always had either our family (my parents and niece last year) or with our repeat DIS friends (NHDisneylover, Hoagie Pie, Scoobypop, etc.----all of whom cancelled this trip except now Hoagie is back on but she's in early dining). So this will be our first cruise getting seated with "unkowns" again....and we're a little nervous but will hopefully cope!!

(We have also been trying to figure out if we can find a way to have the same servers for our B2B, too)

In the past I have called reservations and requested servers....so far I have always gotten who I asked for.....I have done that again on this cruise. You might could call and request your servers for both cruises and hopefully get them.....worth a try

Why was that sarah, bad weather?

It's weird but I'm sure they moved it as it was cloudy the day we were leaving - we overnighted in Barcelona - then it never actually rained so we had sailaway in the Atrium. It was crowded and silly!

 

[DisneyVegas1]

I don't see anything about linked dining in Post #1. Am I missing it?

Also------DisneyVegas1 PMed me back and said that he was going to put the new and updated lanyard info in Post #1 but I noticed it isn't there on this thread-----is it maybe only updated in our Part 6 thread? (which will be opening up soon I'm sure).....or maybe he said he WOULD do it, but hadn't gotten around to it yet.


Erik

Yes it was in part 6 , thought we were moving there sooner rather then later ....it has been updated on this thread as well

Do you know how hard it is to catch up on this thread when you are gone for 10 days??? Wow! Returned on Sunday from WDW where we celebrated my nephew's wedding on May 17. Sooo much fun. Hoop-Dee-Doo rehearsal dinner on Saturday, tea party shower at Grand Floridian on Sunday, breakfast with the gang (25 of us) at Boma on Monday a.m. and swimming all day at Kidani Village before the wedding. Wedding was BEAUTIFUL. Spent the rest of the week enjoying WDW with my family (and extended family) and had a fantastic time. As much as we were (ARE) looking forward to the cruise, we were trying not to get ahead of ourselves since we had my nephew's wedding trip to Florida to enjoy beforehand.

Got great news yesterday which makes this cruise seem even more real! We received our flight information from DCL ! We were told that we would get the flight info in July so I'm very excited to have it now--because having the flight info makes me feel like we are really going!! We fly out of Cleveland on 9/17 to JFK at 12:05. We fly from JFK to BCN on Delta Flight 94 leaving at 5:40 p.m. arriving in Barcelona at 7:55 ! Since we had no choice but to fly in the day of due to work restraints, we are happy to be arriving so early in the a.m.

Congrats

We have requested a specific server this time round and I hope that DCL will honour our request. We can look forward to some fun dinners if they do.

Hi everyone!

It's a HOT day again! It's supposed to cool down this afternoon, thankfully!

I'm interested in participating in the postcard swap and I can't remember who to sign up with. If anybody could let me know, that would be great!

Sarah (Gismo1554) posted the info on the 1st page. Try to PM her.

I know everyone is worried about the sailaway time,but I sure hope they have a late sailaway time because they are going to have fireworks. I really want fireworks. So very much.

Stephen I sure hope you don't need surgery, or if you do that it is painless and fixes you right up! I will never stick my arm in to stop an elevator again. Oh my goodness, what a trauma. I sure hope you are able to rest.

fireworks would be cool.

Good Morning. I am off to work early and thought I would stop by to make a suggestion (incase no one has already done this). There seems to be quite a few folks celebrating on the ship. Maybe we can meet for lunch one day while at to sea and have a celebration lunch. This is my first time to be onboard for my birthday and I thought it might be the same for others as well. Any thoughts? Any suggestions?

Off to work, will check in later.

sounds like a plan

We are giving the IPad to DH and DBil for fathers day. Care to share the "quirks"

I thought Tea was 15.00. Good to know it dropped in price.

it was only 5 last time i done it.

Hello everyone!
I'm happy to be back on the boards after a long while. DH and I are taking our 10th Disney cruise with you all. We were lucky enough to be on the last WB TA in 2007 and are looking forward to this one even more so. We'll be taking it to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary which is actually August 3. We're staying at the Hilton Diagonal Mar Friday night and hope to see some of you there. We had to book it on our own because Disney's portion was sold out. It actually turned out for the best because we're using DH's Hilton points for the room. I'll do my best to catch up on the thread but am happy to be connected with you from this point on!
Cheers!

Welcome Lisa Marie - looking forward to meeting you! I have just finished reading 4 pages and we talk a lot, but I love it. I just got back from the doctor and have to see her again 3 days before I leave!! I got excited just thinking about it!!!! My bathing suit came and this time, I didn't like it. Sent it back again. I am glad I started this process early. Hopefully by September I will have it right.

Okay, I have never requested a server before, BUT, and I appreciate everyone's input, I have always said to the servers, on the first night, that I will tip well, even the nights I am not there, but I will not be there because of Palo, and one night I just like to sit up on deck and eat. It doesn't help or work. I warn them, I tell them ahead of time. Maybe I am getting the wrong servers. The last 2 cruisers they were just okay. Any recommendations for servers - ha ha!!

I think Goofy Granny wanted tea, but cannot PM yet because she doesn't have enough posts. I will get with her to see. Is it too late. From the posts, I thought it was not to late.

Okay, my soap opera is being interrupted by the President. I just wanted some brain-dead down time and I guess that is not happening.

Glad some airline reservations from DCL are coming in. That is exciting and it does seem closer!!! I don't want to rush the summer, but at the same time, very excited.

Hello, Lisa Marie! Welcome back!! What a wonderful anniversary gift for yourselves!

Sorry that I hadn't seen your post about your hotel prior to posting an update. I'll make sure you're included in the next update.

If you haven't done so already, check out Page #1 of this thread to get you up to speed on some things we have in motion, including embarkation t-shirts (which has a cut-off date in the next couple of days) and lanyards, which are also closing up.

I'm looking forward to chatting with you more!

It is really exciting isn't it? Hope you find the right swim suit soon, I haven't even thought about about clothes yet...... I'd better get a move on!

That's the only thing where i'm having a problem, sitting whit strangers on a table. Because last time we had a family that was not that nice. We can speak english but we must think what we going to say back to our tablemates. So that takes time and they didn't understand that i think.

So your not the only couple how has problems whit that, and you can speak English.
