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

[ReAnSt]

OK so I was just updating my name list for the navigator with the FE group listings and came across a few people missing off the website -

Renegade
Linda & David

Just a reminder that the list in the navigator will be going from the website so please everyone remember to not only sign up but update with new information as it becomes available.

Linda and David are mine and Stephen's parents and are listed on the website under the listing with Nacho1337 and myself. They do not have a DIS name, but Stephen and I are keeping them up to date.

Hey all - I'm back!

It went really well and I am doing great. Can see very well and apart from a little haloing and some minor fizziness everything in perfect. I'm thrilled with the results so far and after some healing time expect terrific vision.

Thanks for all your well wishes. It meant a lot as I was so nervous.

My family will be joining this big DIS group for the WBTA. Joining in late (just got home from Baltic which was wonderful)

Me, dh, dd16, dd14, dd9, dd7 and ds7.

We did the EBTA and Med btb in April, loved it and are repeating it with the last med and WBTA back to back.

Kind of late in the planning but hoping to meet some new DIS friends and see some familiar faces again.

Welcome

I did a google search for electric converters and found one on Buy.com for $2.48 with no shipping charges.

Found them thanks. I was thinking I would also need a transformer. To bad I did not read the quipment earlier.

1DisneyQueen did PM me earlier today with the additional DIS names of her group. Originally there were 6 people all listed under her name, I think...but today she contacted me and said that two shoudl be under poohluvsfigment and two should be under copasmile----so those 6 people are all travelling together but have their own DIS names and they are in at least two (maybe 3) separate rooms.

They can correct me if I'm wrong about any of that

Absolutley correct. Once again a fellow NYer. I am going under the premisis that you are never wrong. You might be mistaken on a rare occassion, but never wrong.

We are on early dining as well. There are 6 of us in our group. (1DisneyQueen, Poohluvsfigment, and copasmile)

I have an 8x8 from a family trip to Corolla NC if anyone wants to see it! Not Disney, but cute...

Hey that is my neck of the woods. We are not going this year with the cruise and my son having surgery. Maybe next year before the Alaska cruise. I was thinking of trying Lake Gaston for a change in pace. Have you ever been there?

Been to the Hard Rock in Barcelona; they have live music most evenings. I don't remember what time it starts but I suggest we get to know each other while we can still hear each other!

I am hoping we will be back in time from our excursion. I hope folks will be there for a while. I think we get back at 6

we are both using the Creative Memories StoryBook Creator Plus - send me a PM and I will send you a link.

Krisann

I had no idea they had this. We lost all three of our CM consultants. Well, they moved. So I am not up to date on what they have. I love their books.

Presenting my newest grandson. This is our fifth grandson. 6lbs, 10ozs. 19 inches long. I am in love. He looks like his brothers. This is the third for my oldest son.

Congrats. How wonderful and how adorable.

Calling all you scrapbook types. Any advice for a sticky paper punch? My DCL punch keeps getting stuck and has troubles getting through the paper, and then opening back up again. Any advice?

Here is wht I got from Autumn...
MS Disney Magic
C/O Acciona Forwarding SA
Avda Ports D'Europa, 100 3rd Planta
Edificio Service Center
08040 Barcelona
Telephone: +34.93.298.4614 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting +34.93.298.4614 end_of_the_skype_highlighting
Fax: +34.93.298.4612

• Allow approximately 10 business days for delivery
• Shipments must arrive two (2) days prior to embarkation
• International shipping rates apply
• The following information needs to be listed on the package being delivered:
  --Name
  --Sail Date
  --Ship
  --Stateroom Number
  --Packing slip that details contents of the package.

I think she's looking for the street address of the port, for the navigator (should any of us get it ahead of time!)

Sarah - I checked the 2010 Passporter book, and it says the following about the Barcelona port:

"While the Disney Magic is in the Mediterranean, it sails out of the Port of Barcelona (Port de Barcelona), which is also known as Port Vell. The Disney Magic is scheduled to dock at Moll D'Adossat Terminal D at the port.

Check in and Embarkation begin at 10:30am. Plan to arrive before 3:00pm."

Updated list pins

Connie

I can't recall what the prices were, but assuming it's around $5/pin, I'll take the 6. That represents 4 for my family and 2 for my FIL & MIL (Sea Rogues)

 

[pjpoohbear]

Tom,

There are two DIS names listed for a 5:45pm Delta flight out of JFK non-stop, check post #2 on page 1 of this thread.

I am on the same flight the night before.

I have checked and I will need the full name on the reservation and the reservation number. Don't need all the names, just the first listed. Please PM this info to me.

I have always used wax paper and it works wonders. Try the wax paper a few times with the punch and then switch to scrapbook paper. Hope it works!

Terapin - welcome back! It is amazing you are on the computer already. So glad things went well.

Beautiful baby picture!!! Congrats!

 

[tweety0227]

I have a question that I'm sure can be answered by some of you. How do you make an FE? I'm not that handy with sewing, so if anyone has made one, especially, that doesn't include sewing, I would be grateful if you'd share your instructions.

Thanks

And if it seem dull, then aluminum foil, just punch a couple of times. The wax paper will help with removing and glue that might be gumming it up.

[Hoagie Pie]

Okay, I did it - I called Delta and acted like I lost my flight. They filled me in. We are on Flight 114 from Atlanta on the 17th. We leave at 5:55 and get in at 8:55. I am on hold now because they told me there is a "problem" with my reservation. My heart is beating out of control.

 

[Tink rules]

Presenting my newest grandson.

He's beautiful!!!

So you are coming? Do you want to do the Rome tour with Chuck, Patrick, our friend, Susan and me? I haven't emailed Nancy Aello Tours back yet, but I should soon.

I'm close to booking... should be paid next week or so... mom and I are going to do one of DCL tours for Rome... she feels more comfortable doing that.

I made a Xmas stocking... it's made out of green mickey fabric...

Also... make sure you get the long plastic zip ties to attach it to your fish.

also some buy their fish extenders off of ebay...

 

[Hoagie Pie]

Ahhh!!! I am soooo excited. They were just worried that a ticket had not been issued yet - so no big deal. Abby and I are even sitting together and the airlines said that when I check my bags in Orlando, I will not see them until Barcelona! YEAH! I don't need to worry about it. Yes, I am a worry wart and you all know I hate to fly. My night is made! Thanks to whoever made the recommendation to call Delta!

 

[Belle1997]

I have been looking at the flights that people are getting from disney and I see an interesting pattern

1: the flights are mostly full. Which makes me wonder if Disney gets a deal for helping to fill up planes. 2) Booking 2 years in advance don't you think we would get us better seats.

I am also on a basically full plane. I called Disney to make sure they knew they were dealing with a person using a scooter so when the seats are chosen most airlines have special seating for different needs.

Disney does not do any of this. I would have to call the airlines myself. To put it mildly I was not happy. When I got the info I would have to call the airline.

I got mine early than 60 days because I was afraid I would be put to far away from the washrooms. My mobility is not so great after sitting and trying to balance on a plane. Well I was able to move up a few there were only 6 seats left. Disney transportation actually release the info early I guess rethinking that I at least needed the chance to change seats.

Unfortunatley Air Canada is not great with customer service. I spent 45 minutes just trying to figure out were the washrooms were on the plane. The seating plan I was given was not matching what the Rep was telling me.

So after she moved our seats she puts me on hold. ( oh ans I was on hold for 15 minutes before I even talked to anyone) She comes back 10 minutes later and said you are right the seats are at the back at the plane. ( I am in seat 14 now

I would have to ask to use the first class washroom

Next I needed to talk to someone in medical but because the call took 45 minutes to basically get no where it was now closed.

So I get back on the phone the next day and we go through the seating again. She was not much better but said I did not need to ask permission to use the washrooms up front cause there was no first class.

Then it was what type of scooter I had and she checked each airplane:rolleyes

And then she said I needed medical clearance because I have MS. What I said no I do not I read the list and I have nothing that even comes close to anything that would cause a problem.

Now I know why people go to Westjet. I sure do. They keep seating available for special needs. They keep a list of people who require special seating.

In fact I book to go to WDW. The next day I got a call to say my seats have already been assigned. Now that is service!!!!

It is all good cause I just plan to sleep the enitre flight so I will not have to care how far the washroom is

 

[birkner]

Noel, I found the first 2 of the 'Jacqueline Kirby' series over here but they don't have the last 2 which I suppose must be out of print in the UK...I shall keep looking!

You might want to check your local library as they may have them. If not, Albris or Amazon may have them if you like the first two.

 

[KrisannB]

Krisann, we would love to see your EBTA book. Is it on your laptop? With current baggage restrictions, there's no need to bring the physical scrapbook for us.

Woody

Oh I will have it on my computer - but have decided to bring my physical book so I can get autographs - both of EBTA cruisers and of the characters to add to my book!

Ok, put me on the "late" FE group I wish we had more time to meet last cruise. I think with being on opposite dining times it really makes it harder. Are you still early this time? We are late again.

Then welcome to the "Strawberry" FE Group! We are slowly growing!

We started off early last time and moved to late - we are back to early - but will take whichever just to get our server - Agus! We love him and will do which ever just to have him!

I have a question that I'm sure can be answered by some of you. How do you make an FE? I'm not that handy with sewing, so if anyone has made one, especially, that doesn't include sewing, I would be grateful if you'd share your instructions.

Thanks

How did I make mine?? LOL - Ordered it off ebay!
