Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.6

[got2travel]

Totally interested... I will put in my calendar and ping you in a week and half. Maybe I can finally return your costume that is sitting on top of my dresser and find something for myself (plus don't think I can get in it again I think I am bit heavier this time around). I did find a skirt at Burlington.

looking forward to it, and there will definitely be options to buy, there are tons of vendors, but be forewarned, their stuff is a bit on the pricey side, but its all hand made and beautiful

Thanks for all the well wishes and I come with good news. I got the MRI results today and the muscle is not ruptured. It show that is sprain muscle that look like it is heeling and I have swelling in the wrist. There going to try and restrengthen the muscles in my arm with physical therapy and hope that is it. They also think there still could be a pinched nerve causing all the pain. I keep you updated. At least no surgery for now.

very good news

I chose:

Tortola by Land and Sea

Unforgettable West Madeira

St. Maarten Island and Butterfly Farm Tour (we have done the island numerous times by ourselves, thought we would try someting different)

I picked Unforgettable West Madeira too and also Long Bay Beach tour with the fabulous lunch. Beach and food always sounds good. 35 more minutes - pass the chips please!!!

My plan of attack is Palo first. I want brunch on my Birthday. Then onto shore excursions. I was thinking about tea as well. I beleive it is on the 25th. Anyone know the time off hand?

 

[got2travel]

We're in for the shirts, If I can find some more luggage space, argh!!! We can order from DisneyShopping but the postage is an absolute killer, Like $25 for 1 shirt! I will check on Zazzle.


This will be our option if the postage is too high from Zazzle, Does anyone have the image now?

I do still have an image but not the high resolution one. Still acceptable for shirt making though. PM me your email address if you need it.
Or who can I send it to so it can be posted on the website?

Well, a friend who was booked on our cruise called me today to let me know that she and her family had to cancel. Good explanation--she'd been trying to get DH to tell her exactly when he could leave work to fly over and while she was waiting the prices increased $800 per person! Then he decided that was just too much and they needed to back out. Oh well.

I've almost lost my EBTA weight. Been working out every day. Now understand, we are not talking miracles here--I'm still fat, just a little less fat. It's way too hot these days to do yard work; that's my other effort.

This gang is SO organized. I'll be more into it when I have DD settled in her new college (or at least thru registration!)

I have to apologize to Stephen for calling him Michael! My mind has been all over the place and that is no excuse! Hopefully you are feeling a little better now and I will never call you Michael again! Didn't read all the posts yet, went to dinner with Goofy Granny and she told me what I did and I was sick to my stomach!!! UGH! Okay, back to reading the boards.

Don't Feel bad - I called Kimberly Sarah somehow - but all is well and good Huh Sa...Kimberly?

Just a thought but if you can wait for the t-shirts, I can probably stuff them in my suitcase and bring them to Barcelona for you? That's an option and should save you a bunch on shipping. Just letting you know....

as long as I don't see swimming fishes I will be fine!

Krisann

No swimming fishes - I saw a swimming Mickey earlier today when I was trying to access Palo's but it lasted only about 1 minute. So Hopefully you all will have the same fast result. Much better than hours anyway.

I tried to sit down with my DH but he was to interested in the tv... he is along for the ride also....I finally told him that I would let him know when and where to be!! I picked out 3 excursions also.....hope they are good!!

See your learning - I no longer give DH an option - he's just along for the ride. I'll tell him the night we board and he gets to see the tickets. Otherwise - in one ear out the other. After all, same family tree right?

They are two nuts from the same tree!!!!

I don't need any, but had a chuckle when I read this because of the biggest size you have. My son's first pair of shoes, at 8 months, was an 8 EE. I could never put shoes on him before this because none of the baby shoes fit. When he was close to taking a step I figured I needed to get him some shoes. Now at age 14, he wears a size 15. I joke with him that I'll have to buy him Shaq's old shoes soon.

Yes, my kids both have small feet. But DH and I are both on the short side, so they have little hope of height.

Really? That's odd they told you about that for linking dining. We've linked dining with friends on every cruise we've been on since 1997 and it's never ever impacted the room locations for GTY guests or anything to my knowledge---although I can't really say whether it's impacted complimentary upgrades....I don't suppose you or anyone you linked to would know you didn't get one of those if you don't get one, huh? Like when you check in they probably don't say, "Welcome! We were GOING to upgrade you to a nicer cabin but then we saw that you were linked to eat dinner with cabin so-and-so so we decided not to!"

So did they say when exactly to do dining linking if you want to do so?

Right...I knew that much but I assumed that once everyone had done their Palo and excursion ressies that you'd be fine.....and the last group gets to do it at 75 days right? or is tehre a group that has to wait until even closer?

Regarding linking before booking excursions. If you are linked then only 1 of the linked reservations can be accessed at a time. So at midnight, if I'm the first one to sign into my reservation, then no one else I'm linked with can log in to book their Palo, excursions, etc until I'm done. Good for me, bad for you. LOL.

As for upgrades, when you are linked, they will not upgrade you any higher than the highest category that is currently booked in your linked party. So if you have a bunch of 10's and 11's linked, no one is going to get an oceanview or balcony. Now take this with a grain of salt, as we've seen, DCL policy changes based on who you talk to.

There are two ways in which you can link reservations. Fully linking reservations (like you would do for family) gives you full access to each other's reservation, only lets one person from the linked group be in the cruise activity section of the website at a time, and gives you the opportunity to book excursions, etc. for people in the linked rooms. I don't recommend doing that for anyone other than family or very close friends, and don't do it before the excursion booking date unless you have one designated person responsible for booking Palo and excursions for everyone (this has fallen on me in the past for my family and friends travelling with us.)

You can also requested to be linked or associated for dining purposes only. This is what will caused you to be seated with or near someone else. You need to be agreed on the same dining time since they will do what they need to do to move you all to the same time and rotation as someone mentioned earlier. This is a great way to help a friend get off the waitlist say for early dining. If you have early dining, and they are waitlisted, linking their reservation to yours for dining purposes would give them a priority bump to the top of the waitlist.

Good look to everyone booking soon. Please save some things for the rest of us!

I am sitting here in my nightie. I just read the DCL web site.

*An adult from the stateroom in which a child is booked must retrieve that stateroom's reservation to register the child online.

Can they see how old I am? Should I go put on a bathrobe?

reminds me of a recent Gene Simmons Family Jewels episode, they taught Gene how to Skype but he still didn't quite get it. He call from his hotel room with only a bathrobe on. Then his room service showed up and he got up to answer the door, not realizing that certain body parts would be right in front of the webcam.

My wife and I are traveling to Europe in August for two weeks in Italy and Greece before heading to Barcelona for the Magic cruise back to the US. we will arrive in Barlona on the 14th.

We have not checked out this board before though I listen to the podcast regularly and have been to some DIS events in Orlando the past three Decembers and have done some writing for Passporter.

Is it too late to order t shirts?

 

[HallsofVA]

I see there is a new UK discount out for the 9/8 cruise (booking code UKR I think?) I was wondering if any of our folks doing the back to back cruises were able to rebook their 9/8 cruise using this discount and save any money.

I believe all High Tea reservations are at 3pm

The PacSafe bag I ordered from Overstock.com came today. It looks like it will be very difficult for pickpockets to access. Thanks for the heads up on this purchase. It was on sale for just over $25 and I did not have to pay shipping because I am a first time customer. I like!

PJ, if you want to put your stuff in this with ours in Barcelona when we are touring you are welcome to do so.

Angie you are awesome!

We have a vendor who brought the Pacsafe. product line in to show us, I knew all about it from here, the other buyer was so put out, lol. So might be selling it in our store, but the backpack and laptop case lines, sigh...

I saw that one!
I was laughing so hard I was crying!! And I love Gene!


Stephen... Great News!!! And good luck with PT.

Yup... waiting for the time to tick slowly... booking night!

Is this more exciting than New Year's Eve? We have looked at Abby's pirate dress she is sewing tomorrow, planned more FE stuff, made caffeinated ice tea, watching HGTV and still 20 minutes!!!! Ugh!! Welcome to rsauer, I am from Lakeland - not far from Orlando!

 

[1DisneyQueen]

OMG I have been hitting refresh and nothing new. I thought you people were all doing something else. Then I noticed I was on page 11 No more sugar for me.

Don't feel bad - time is moving slowly. I just logged on to the DCL site and they are telling me I cannot make reservations. That better change at midnight! The ice tea is done - yeah! I will probably wake up 10x's in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom but it will be worth it. I just want my brunch! Everybody hang in there!

I made sure. All body parts covered.
