Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repositioning Repossession Cruise

[MrsMork]

Booking windows on most TA airlines have opened for September 2009, for the week we would be flying and the best deals all seem to head via Dublin from JFK, lol. Under USD $600 to BCN or under $525 to PAR (I am thinking about taking a train, instead of a hotel overnight in BCN.)

Pj

YES!! PJ we can stay in Paris on points!

Hi All --

Wow! So many familiar faces (and DisNames). Wonder if this will be like a EastREPO reunion or something . . .LOL Hello to everyone!!!

Well, we're in. We signed up on the first day, but with moving and everything . . did I mention we DID SELL OUR HOUSE!! Yeah! We're now proud residents of Smithfield, Virginia (and as my DH reminds his West Coast family - the HAM capitol of the world . . .LOL).

And we actually got a cabin number on our first try! DH likes knowing that much better. Our boys (ages 14 and 11 right now) like the idea of wonder Europe for a week and then playing video games on board for two weeks . . .LOL DH is thinks we're crazy to plan another 3 week vacation, but next time my sister won't be getting married the week after and we won't be moving 6 weeks after getting back . . .LOL. Should be a breeze the 2nd time around . . .

I'm just started through the 103 pages of posting (not bad considering we were in thousands by now with the EB REPO . . is it because we know each other so much better . . .LOL). Did anyone volunteer to do the Scrapbook swap? That was one of my favorite parts even though I didn't sign up for it. I'd like to help coordinate it for this trip if anyone else is interested??? I do know WHERE my scrapbooking stuff is, but haven't even begun to scrap our last cruise.

Enough said . . .can't wait to meet all the DISers new and old!

Have a super Monday!

Aboard mate , good to see you signed back on for another sailing with the Captain .... Be sure to be hoisting your colors (the cruise logo in your signature)

Our most dangerouw wildlife is Canada Geese. They come and get the bread if you dont feed them quick enough

The spider in the mouth was gross!! I am just catching up after 2 days off and saw that and almost got sick!! Ugh!

The one topic that made the spider event better was Shady Maple - I LOVE THAT PLACE!!!! Very jealous - I wish I could go. I used to live in NJ and we would go there all the time. Yes, will drive for food!!

I don't know who wrote about the chocolate coconut squares, but let me know if you are getting them from Florida because that is what I was aiming for. If you get them, no big deal, I will get something else. I live 30 miles away from WDW so I can pick up something else. By the way, did anyone hear the news about the guy with the gun on the Disney bus and he escaped through the marketplace. They had the place closed down on Saturday night. I didn't hear anything on the national news - just local - Disney must have great PR!

Thanks for doing all the work Stephanie - the website and all looks great!

Clever ship the magic.

Distance from Barcelona to Gibraltar 1,143 miles.

Maximum speed 24 MPH or thereabouts.

Cruising time between leaving Barcelona and arriving Gibraltar 36 hours. Now I know they have done this before but I reckon even at maximum speed thats 300 miles unaccounted for

Hey guys,

Someone on the main cruise board here said that they got a call from DCL letting them know that their total due would be less b/c the airfare price had gone down. This is someone who is cruising in 2010 too. Anyone else get a call from DCL?

I would LOVE to get that call today!

That makes me wonder about the opposite. If you have booked DCL air at the price quoted today, is there any chance that when they actually purchase the tickets the price would go up? I can't image DCL getting one way SFO to BCN and then MCO to SFO for the price they've quoted me. This is the first time I've used their airfare (and may not if I find a deal on my own).

A friend forwarded me the bus story otherwise I would have never heard about it.

Thanks, Todd . . . we're excited to give this another whirl. Two years seems so far away, but it was worth the wait for the EB REPO, eh? Looking forward to late dining again and 5 PM swims while DH enjoys the hot tub. We had the Quiet cove to ourselves except for the rowdy happy hour crew

Are you going to plan another remake of the Pirates of the Caribbean? The costumes were so amazing!

I hate them almost as much as spiders! We have a lot of new developments that all used to put lakes in, before they wised up. Those darn geese come in hoards and poop all over everything! They're mean too!

Geese here in SE Virginia seem to prefer the road and business parks . . LOL. I think it is illegal to run one of them over so they think they own the road. They'll hold up rush hour traffic while the geese just saunter across the road . . . like celebrities.

Wherabouts in Florida do you live? I would not want snakes just sliding through my house.[/QUOTE]


At that time we lived in Fruitland Park Florida. Nobody has ever heard of it. It is a small town right next to Leesburg and Lady Lakes Florida.
We also had the same thing happen when we lived in Poinciana Florida.

Wow - no didn't hear about that whole incident!

 

[Hoagie Pie]

To be honest, we didn't hear much after that. I don't think they ever caught the guy, but apparently went on the bus, pulled a gun and told the woman driver to go to Disney Marketplace. When she dropped him off, she immediately called 911! They lost him and that was the last we heard. We were in a restaurant that was very loud, but had it on the TV. We weren't far from the Marketplace so of course, me being paranoid, went to my car quickly.

I would love to do another thing where people dressed up as characters from Pirates of the Caribbean , Of course I dont know if people here would be interested ?? I know that there are a few people from the EB PC that did dress up and will be joining us ... The list so far is .. Capt Jack of course .. Tia Dalma , Davey Jones , Sao Feng and a couple who havent decided on a character as of yet and I know we will be talking about it at the DIS meets both in WDW and DisneyLand ... We have lots of time to make costumes and or help people acquire them , we are 22 months away ..LOL If any of you are seriously interested say Aye , I would like to see if it would be possible to outdo the EB PC cruise ... It would be tuff but I know there be many Pirates out there and there are many Pirates here that can help you ....So if your interested Please say Aye ...

Here are some Pictures of Pirate Night and at Castaway Cay

Thats just of some of the Characters from the movie , that is not to mention all the pirates and wenches and crew that we had .... The Pirate Picture was so big we had to move it to deck 9 .. I dont have one of those scanned in but someone on here might .... The cool thing about this cruise is , is that the New POTC movie will be filming so it will be perfect ..... So I HOPE that alot of you may be interested ...if you need help with finding a charcter let me know .. I have been really good at this ..LOL

I guess we see that quite a bit too. I have to admit it's awfully cute though each spring when those celebrities including lots of little goslings trailing behind!

Captain -


Aye!

DH and I are very interested, but I am a little worried we will not be able to come up with a decent costume. Is there anything easy?

Hmmm easy To me everything is easy if your heart truly desires it ..LOL . There is always Ebay easy , then there is someone else make for you easy , or there is take your time (we got 22 months) and do it yourself easy ...there are all sorts of ways to accomplish this ... the first thing you need to really figure out is what character suits you and how detailed you want to go ... If I can Help , let me know

We had an earthquake here last night (worcester uk). Just a little one (3.6) shook my chair and the tv. We don't normally have many of these here.

How scary! I hope everybody is OK!

I feel so badly for Jennifer Hudson. First of all her mother and brother are found shot to death and now whoever killed them must have killed her 7 year old nephew! I can't imagine the pain she is going through. I hope they catch who ever did it soon!

 

[feenie]

DH has a pirate costume that my talented friend made for him.
It is not a POTC character, but he can be random pirate #2.
When we get back from our trip I will post pictures.
