Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.7

[eeyorelvr10]

HA! Found you - even though I didn't the rum.

 

[eeyorelvr10]

I go to bed and wake up and we're on another thead! LOL!!

This may sound like a strange question, but has anybody ever traveled with a bottle (a big bottle) of hand sanitizer in their checked luggage? Whenever we go to WDW, we just pick it up after we arrive at WDW but I'm not sure if it is available in Spain. Thanks for any advice!

Packed in ziploc or El Cortes Ingles at the top of Las Ramblas has everything. However, they are closed on Sundays and the bottom floor or -1 (planta or floor) has the beauty aids and health aids.

The DCL billboards are following me again. Coming back from King of Prussia I saw another one. It on 422 westbound on the right hand sign enter Exeter township. As bad as it sound , it depress me a little because I want to be there. At least it only 79 days to go.

Hi. DD and I signed up at the beginning and had to cancel. I re-booked it the other day. Last Wednesday, the 23rd, I had to have emergency eye surgery for a detached retina. Because of the procedure used, the nurses in the OR said September 16 might be too early to be allowed to fly. Anyway, I don't know where to even begin to start reading and catching up on everything. Is it too late to participate in things and where do I find them? Please everyone, I need lots of Piixie Dust because I go to my doctor on Tuesday and hoping he'll tell me I can join everyone and be allowed to fly. Would love to see my old friends again. Actually, would love to 'see' better.

I would pack the larger bottle in a ziploc bag in your luggage and take one of the smaller bottles with you on the plane. You know I can get the Purell (company store) so just let me know.

Don't worry, I didn't forget about the company store! I was more worried about traveling with it.

Packed in ziploc or El Cortes Ingles at the top of Las Ramblas has everything. However, they are closed on Sundays and the bottom floor or -1 (planta or floor) has the beauty aids and health aids.

Thank you! We're arriving on that Friday, the 17th so if we need anything, we know we can find it there. Thanks!

We have traveled with it - I just put it in a ziploc bag beforehand. It always arrived fine.

Glad to hear that. I've taken trips where we've driven, but I've never flown with it before...thanks for easing my mind.

Ok, so now I officially give up trying to even skim every page. I have to skip about every 5 pages now otherwise it just takes up too much time...

We received Tristan's passport in the mail today, so we're all set there. I also ordered our Disney Rewards card so I don't forget about it later.

I had to stay at home today because Rosalynn was running a fever this morning, but she seems to be doing better now.

Later...
Alex

I got my new passport in the mail today too! That means the only two things I need to get changed over to my married last name are my credit card and my Disney Store ID (the store ID is in the process of being changed though).

Hello all

I went see Sisiter Act the musical yesterday in London, the music is by Alan Menkin.. so there is a Disney link it's the second time i've seen it, it's quite different to the original film (which i love) and features all new music, It's such a great feel good show. You can help but to leave the theatre shaking you Roseary Beads

SW

OMG! I would LOVE to see that show! I didn't even know there was a Sister Act the musical! Music by Alan Menkin - I'm sold! I'll have to try to see if I can pull up clips on iTunes. Do they have a website I could check out?

And to you as well! I'm planning to chug a litre of maple syrup to celebrate, then ride my moose out to the pond, play a little hockey until it's time to ski for the afternoon!

On second thought, maybe I'll just hoist a G&T to celebrate, eh?

It's a privilege to live in Canada, and one I truly appreciate!

Meanwhile, Happy (prospective) 4th of July to all Americans on board! Have a great (and safe) one on Sunday!

Your post mad me really laugh - a moose ride and maple syrup! I hope you had a wonderful day and Canada is a beautiful country.

Welcome back!!!! I would start by reading the first two pages of this thread because that is where the most information is going to be located. That may help you ease into all of the planned activities.

 

[birkner]

Forgive me if you've all covered this before but I'm just beginning to think about clothes for the trip...We like to get dressed up but the stringent weight limits on luggage have us wondering:

Will there be one or two formal nights?

Are any of the men bringing tuxedos?

How "formal" are you all thinking?

Also, I know there will be a "pirate" night, but did I see something about another "theme" night?

Thanks.

Andrea

Since 2 of the questions have been answered, I will just say that DH is bringing his tuxedo and a suit. I have two formal dresses and two semi formal dresses.

 

[birkner]

I'm also in the formal camp, like the other Lynne
2 long formal dresses and 2 semi formal cocktail dresses (one for Palos, one for the "real" semi-formal night). The other nights I am likely to wear nice dresses. I have a dress for Pirate night.
The other theme night, going on what I have read, is likely to be a "Villains" night. No dressing up, but a parade in the atrium of guests wearing masks "made" earlier in the day. There is a Villains show in the theatre, and presume a Villains menu? Thought maybe wearing black for that night? Am only guessing. Maybe others have different info?
DH will take his Tux, and a light weight plain lounge suit. He can wear the suit trousers on their own with a short sleeved shirt/Polo if he wishes!
daytime of course will be shorts/tops/sun frocks/cargos

But there are loads of Non Formal people on this thread, equally acceptable, so there really will be full range of Dis natty dressers on board. Anything will go! Well....maybe not beach wear...it would put us off our Mickey bars

Have fun planning! I like making ..............lists...........loads of lists...........
Lyn

Remember, no Mickey bars in the Med last I heard!!

Welcome back aboard!! Lots of and prayers that you can fly to Barcelona.

Be sure to read page one of this thread. Lots of activities planned that you may be able to participate in with the group.

Hi all!!

Bev!

Glad to hear you may be back with us. Fingers crossed along with that you can continue to sail with us. Check front pages and see if you can still get into the Coconut list for FE gifts. They are being broken down into group to allow for weight restrictions. Is just you and DD or is DH coming along too?

Nice to see you on here.

 

[eeyorelvr10]

OK so I posted on that other site, just got off the phone after 1 hr and 1/2 with AT&T. Got a wonderful girl to explain all my phone thing-ami-jiggers and understand now how the bill works. Also, how the data plan works. So as I posted elsewhere, come September, I will be playing

"Where in the world is Laura."

Also, since I will be adding on the IDP (International Data Plan) and ITP (International Texting Plan) I will be able to pop on and off a bit more easily w/o worrying I'll be breaking the bank. to think - it only took me about 5 trips to Europe to figure out how to work this dang thing to my advantage. Oh yeah, 5 trips to Europe, 4 trips through the PC and Caribbean, I may be slow but I'm worth the wait.

As for this weekend, guess I'm forced to go out of town. Depending on how Steve does, "April and I" will be back in town on Monday, unless I win the Megabucks, don't count on it but ya never know!

now's the time to go cruising clothes shopping. Yah know, gotta make lemonade out of lemons.

I think this was answered, but... 2 formal, 1 semi, pirate night and theme night - rumored to be for Vilans.

Im doing 1 formal, a few semi formal maxi dresses. DH and DS are renting tux's.

Can you share the fees? I am with ATT and turned on cellular at sea last year, but am curious about the plans and they infuriate me when I call...

I will probably be a zombie as I doubt I will be sleeping on the plane. I do not sleep in moving vehicles. I have spent more then 24 hours straight on a bus and not slept. I did not sleep on my flight to London and it was overnight.

Sleeping at the drop of a hat is not one of my fortes. Lots of meds that make most people sleep wind me up and it is not pretty. So I hesitate to take anything because I do not want to end up on the plane climbing the walls due to an adverse med effect. I still plan to get off the plane and be active until 8-9pm Spain time.

DISers on our plane I apologize advance for my lack of sleep on the plane.

Stephanie- You also had me giggling about your shoes. I despise wearing shoes and socks. I think it because I never find shoes that fit properly so they are uncomfortable.

Just make sure you hand sanitizer is well wrapped in plastic bags. If it has a flip top you may want to duct tape it closed.

 

[su_kraft]

Since you have all seen the Cheshire Cat cast, I thought I should let you all know that it was removed today. We are down to a splint for 2 weeks, and then just if she feels the need.

Stephen, I thought of you as we were in getting x rays, and then the splint. I hope that you continue to make steady progress with your wrist!

I bet your DD Becca is one happy camper!!

 

[1DisneyQueen]

Wow I was only gone for a couple days and you guys were busy. Not to mention that you left me. I found you, but I did not even bother to try and catch up. I hope I did not miss anything important.


We got Dh and DBil's IPads the other day. Though Fedex would never deliver them. I have definately decided not to bring our laptop on the cruise. I love the IPad. It is so light wieght. We already downloaed some books for DH and are trying to decide on movies and which ones. Anyone else have the IPad and bringing it (hope I did not miss that conversation)?

 

[1DisneyQueen]

I also ordered our Disney Rewards card so I don't forget about it later.
Alex

Oh thanks for the reminder, I had almost forgotten to do that.

 

[HallsofVA]

I love how the moderators close the old thread and then say edit your post to point to this thread. I don't see the edit feature anymore??? Am I missing something???

Anyway, I am here now.

I was wondering the same thing!

Hallsof VA and the other DISers on our plane I apologize advance for my lack of sleep on the plane.

No apologies necessary! We may be awake together! I've never been one to sleep well if at all on a plane, even in the big first class or business class seats (which we won't have this time.) I'm a side sleeper and can never get quite comfortable enough on a plane or train.

I do formal but cheat. I have one long black dress but two different jackets so that cuts down on space. Of course I wear different jewelry. Hubby brings one tux shirt and gets it cleaned on the ship and wears a vest one night and a bow tie and cumber bun the next night. Also he got his tux at a used clothing store. Saved a lot.

As for shoes I just bring one pair of dress shoes. To me none of my shoes show up in any pictures. Not like someone is ever going to remember what shoes I was wearing.

For pirate night we both have costumes but will not be bringing them. I got a great skirt that can be used for semi formal and for pirates. Just need to find a blouse to make it more pirate. I also have Mickey Mouse pirate ears

My hubby will probably just wear his dis transatlantic shirt. And maybe a pair a brown pants with a pirate sash. He does not like dressing up

If we are tight for space hubby will just wear his tux with a dress shirt and tie.

Theme night is mickey mouse club shirts and ears. I am not sure we are going to do this. If we do I will just buy cheap shirts and Wallmart and do iron ons

I bring less pants since I will only be wearing them for dinner but more shirts.

Remember you can do laundry on the ship. So that may help in deciding how much clothes you will need. And if in a pinch you can send your laundry to clean. They price by piece.

I do not get my hubby's tux clean and pressed before we leave since believe it or not is is cheap to have in done on ship. So I do not have to worry about is being wrinkled

Hope that helps.

Oh one of the formals is a prince and princess night so a bunch of dis people have decided to wear tiaras. Though it is not necessary
