Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.8

[DisneyVegas1]

Got you and Helen down. Its Dylan right thats going off to the army? Just checking so I don't put the wrong son lol!

Yes its Dylan

 

[MrsMork]

I think he has to spray water on it (not the kind from birkner's middle DD's dreams ).

Wow, what a warm welcome.
Thanks for your greetings, all of you.

Our fellow German cruisers are also here - the Pankotsch family (FrauP) travelling with their baby son. I think they have ordered lanyards and wristnads for us.

I'll be sure to take your advice, and read the first pages of this thread thoroughly.

Thanks again

Rikke

I'm sure FrauP has headed you in the right direction.

Do they give you rum on the catamaran I will fall over the side



Does that mean we are 10 days away from ours .... on 10th August keep an eye out for Mr Fed Ex

Oh yes!! A little rum punch.

Okay everyone. This is my problem. I know it's short notice and the other day I wrote a post saying that my DD and I will be joining you. However, she has been dog sitting all week and won't be back on line until around 7 pm tonight. I just realized that with the way this thread is going, there is no way that Lindsay will even see my post telling her that we are going and again spending our birthdays on the cruise. If you don't mind, can we have some fun. Would whoever reading this, mind sending her a AOL message to: lilgchottie926@aol.com either welcoming her; see you soon; Mickey misses you; etc etc to give her clues that we/she is going on this awesome cruise. I know the first thing that she will do is check her AOL email. Even if she goes on this thread she'll never see my telling her "Happy Birthday" we're going. This will drive her crazy seeing email from old friends and new ones and have no idea. I know we will all have an awesome time. Thanks for making it even more fun and exciting for her.

Bev

done!!

Thanks, but I think I never made myself clear, its the yellow ones you put on for snorkling, not like a life vest /jacket type thing. I hope I dont have to wear one, I hope you got me, I love being unrestricted in the water, last time at cc we had to wear them.

I think CC you have to wear them, but not with the excursions.

 

[UKANGEL]

I am doing the same thing!! GMTA!! I even have which suitcase they are packed in on my spreadsheet!!

Worse, I also take pics of the clothes for insurance purposes so if the suitcase full of clothing is lost, I have a record. Suitcase replacement is expensive not to mention the cost of the clothes!!

lol I am so in awe of you well organised people......

Hope everyone is well? Under 50 days now

That sounds lovely! I love carousels

Val

Ditto!

Hi all.

We've just joined this thread, because we didn't know it existed until today. Well, just wanted to introduce ourselves, as we'll be on the cruise with you. It's our first cruise, and we really don't know anything about the Disney ships or taking a cruise, other than what we've read on the internet and learned from our friends, who are taking their fourth cruise.

"We" are my husband, Tom age 47, and myself, Rikke age 39.
Tom is German, I'm Danish, we're living in Nuremberg, Germany, but spending approx. two weeks per month in our house in Denmark.
Tom and I are both self-employed with our own companies. Tom is a composer and producer, I am strategic marketing consultant. Just this month we're starting a new joint project, Sportunes, which is a webshop for training music. We look forward to sharing not only our private lives, but also our professional lives with each other.

Both Tom and I have spent a year in the States - ages ago as we were still young
We both have limited Disney experience, and absolutely no cruise experience, so we're looking forward to what is expecting us. Fortunately we are travelling with our friends from Germany, so we have some experienced advisors with us. We look forward to also making new friends on the cruise, and we're sure that it will be a trip we'll never forget.

Look forward to meeting you in 7 weeks.

Rikke.

Hello & welcome aboard!


We are Mandy & Mark from the UK, cruising with DCL for the 5th time...and we can't wait! Look forward to seeing you onboard.

I think he has to spray water on it (not the kind from birkner's middle DD's dreams ).

We must NEVER forget the Spanx!!!! Especially after 13 nights of cruise dining - I might have to double up and wear 2 pairs at a time...


I'd better take a few more pair I think!


I think you're confusing him with Dumbledore, Lynne!!!

I asked Len yesterday
"What are you looking forwrd to the most when you get on the ship?"

he said...........................

wait for it....

the buffet

Hmmmmm our Delayed honeymoon ....and our 1 year Anniversary since we met on the 30th of Sept

Didnt know if you had those - Also Celebrating my Oldest sons last days of Freedom As he leaves for the Army Oct 26th to Fort Benning ....I am so proud of him for choosing on his own to serve his country ...

I think we should all celebrate that with him Captain! Think we all owe him a drink for what he's doing

ATTENTION ALL DANIEL TAXI MADEIRA TOUR MEMBERS
I have heard from almost everyone that is now on the tour so a van assignment should be posted soon.

If you haven't either emailed or PM'd that you are still going, please do so ASAP.

If you have decided that you might want to take this tour with us, please PM ASAP as well.

What I am thinking is that the cutoff date for joining this tour will be September 7, 2010. I am going to send a preliminary van assignment list within a few days to Eusébia at Daniel Taxi for those who have joined so we have guaranteed vans.

One of our fellow tour members requested a copy of the menu for the restaurant where we will have our lunch in Porto Moniz. Eusébia has asked Daniel to get a copy. When Eusébia gets a copy, she will scan and email to me. Once I receive that scan, I will add it to the document I have on page one and let everyone know.

Anyone having any questions or concerns about the tour, please fee free to PM or email me.

Noel

Nutters!!

Completely barking!

 

[MrsMork]

That sounds lovely! I love carousels

As do I. The first time my eyes met Dennis' eyes I was riding on the carousel at Disneyland.

 

[birkner]

Completely barking!

How romantic!! I think the first time I ever saw John I knew he was special!!

 

[Buckeye Gal]

Noel, again, a HUGE thanks for the tremendous undertaking you've managed for the Madeira Tour!

So only 7 weeks before we embark!! You know what that means? Only SIX weekends (or less for some) to be ready! The thread's gotta slow down for that, right?

Hello, Rikke!! I'm so glad you introduced yourselves here! Anyone who's a friend of Steffi, Oliver, and Simon is a friend of ours!

Don't hesitate to ask any questions! We've all be first-time cruisers at some point, so there's lots of experiences and lessons-learned that we all love to share!

....So do we just wear our Mickey Mouse Club shirts to dinner? Anything else? Connie

preferably pants and shoes as well ....

If you have any "Ears", bring those along, too! I believe that we're wanting to TRY to get everyone together for a group picture, too! Even if it's just those of us in our respective dining rooms or as a group of early/late diners, it really would be nice! Those of you who have been part of the Club before, how did you manage it?

We are doing the b2b, and our docs for the Med portion arrived today! Woo hoo!!

For anyone planning to visit Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, I understand that the Pope is supposed to consecrate it on 7 Nov. As a result, there is a flurry of activity trying to move construction along (as if they can do in two months what hasn't been accomplished in 100 years!!!) and many parts, inside and outside, are blocked by construction fences, etc.

That's wonderful that he's going to do that, but that stinks for my photos album and scrapbook!!!

....If you don't mind, can we have some fun. Would whoever reading this, mind sending her a AOL message to: lilgchottie926@aol.com either welcoming her; see you soon; Mickey misses you; etc etc to give her clues that we/she is going on this awesome cruise....

How fun this is going to be for you and her!! I gave her clues! (I see you're from PA, which ties into my clue yet throws it off....at least in my mind! )

Lindsay!!! Welcome to the modernized MM Club!! Adventures await!! Even though I live in Ohio, we'll have to meet up sometime to celebrate!! :-D We're probably closer than you would think!

Have a Magical weekend!!!

"Buckeye Gal" Kimberly

 

[Feebs]

I am in cruise planning mode!
A couple of questions - do we have an address for the Magic`s berth in Barcelona? Just somethng we can give the taxi driver.
Does anyone know how much the DCL transfers are from PC to a WDW resort?

Other cruise stuff. I never knew you got onboard discount for DVC points. I phoned up DVC to put dining requests on our reservation and I mentioned to MS that me and DD had just returned from the Baltic cruise. They credited us 44 points and as we needed a weekend stay in WDW they came in useful.

I thought I needed to buy travel insurance for DH, which is a long and expensive process. When I checked his annual policy it expires Oct. 7th, the day we fly home

Two new suitcases bought, a trusty old one died in Euston station.

Very well done to all who have organised things, they all sound great - I think I have a committment phobia as I have signed up for nothing. But please when you see me and DH about please stop and chat we are very sociable people!

Greetings to all new cruisers, this is going to be a great cruise

I hope she opens all of these emails!!!

In the subject I said see you real soon and in the body I said Tinker Bell is looking forward to seeing you!!!

Hope that helps!!!

 

[BoosGram]

Great news on the surgery!!! I'm sure he's excited to see where he's going!

I'll have to remember the garlic. I'm normally on the high/normal side but every time I have to go to the nurse at work, my pressure goes up. I think it's a mental thing and I stress whenever I know I have to go down for my physical. I even went to a doctor about three hours later and mentioned to him that they thought my pressure was high and he looked at me like I was nuts. Said nothing unusual and I might just want to get off my butt and move a bit!!

You probably know this already, but there is such a thing as "white coat hypertension." It's very common for BPs to skyrocket when visiting the doctor. You are not alone.

We are doing the b2b, and our docs for the Med portion arrived today! Woo hoo!!

Now that is exciting!

OH DARN! I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE IN JUST SHIRTS AT DINNER!

Not if you knew me .

Welcome Rikke and Tom. We are Wayne and Joanne from Virginia (and for what it's worth, I love Sorten Muld-don't understand the lyrics, but love the music). We're celebrating 37 years of marriage on the cruise. I think this will be a great crew!

Message sent from Mickey and pals

done..


Im so looking forwrd to this trip, never been snorkling anywhere from a boat.
You know the vests they make you wear, can you still dive down with them or do they make you float? Is that a stupid q?

I will wear a buoyancy vest because it makes me feel safer ... don't like going underwater so I just float around on the top looking down

 

[UKANGEL]

As do I. The first time my eyes met Dennis' eyes I was riding on the carousel at Disneyland.

Ah, that's so lovely....
When Becky was little she had such a thing about carousels, when we first visited Florida we spent ages not only on the carousel horses at MK but, also on the carousel at the Belz shopping centre (as was)....

Only mad dogs go out into the sun!!

and the English....................

Oh dear....it's true!

now I wasn't going to be unkind....but since you mentioned it....

I remember that carousel in Belz ... Taryn loved it too. I loved it because it was right near a cinnabon outlet so while she was riding it I could have a treat !!!

 

[FrauP]

All this excitement has me panicking

I have to get through August first:...
Thanks for letting me rant about the craziness here--now you know why I don't post much.
Andrea

Sounds like a good schedule to me. At least time flies by til our cruise. Right?!

Hi all.
Fortunately we are travelling with our friends from Germany, so we have some experienced advisors with us.
Rikke.

There is a German couple on the cruise. Not sure where they are from though.

Welcome, Rikke! You've come to the right place! Are your fellow cruisers also on the Disboard?

Hello, Rikke!! I'm so glad you introduced yourselves here! Anyone who's a friend of Steffi, Oliver, and Simon is a friend of ours!

Thank you, Kimberly.

Good one!! Hope I don't offend any Catholics but the visual was pretty funny!!

Here! Catholic!
