Sept 4-8 2005 Wonder S.S. Member Cruise! Part 2

[alikat99]

Konk Cooler
Castaway Cay

1/2 can of cream of coconut (coco lopez) or one 12oz can frozen pina colada mix
3 ounces light rum
3 ounces dark rum
1/2 of a 12oz can frozen passion fruit juice concentrate(Welches)
4 oz of orange juice
2-3 cups of ice

-Mix all together in a blender until very fine and smooth

Ok, I think that this is a sign. I saw this recipe online here on the DIS the other day too. I was at Publix and saw that they did have the Welches passion fruit juice concentrate. SO, I think that this is a sign that I should make a batch of these this weekend. (My birthday is Monday and those years are starting to add up) This may make me feel a WHOLE lot better about growing older!!!

Mark and I were talking about trying out the new Irish Pub that should be open by that time. i think it is opening later this month.

Georgie - the party will be for all ages. Those who are cruising will have access to the Pleasure Island clubs at no charge for the evening. I don't consider the clubs to be child friendly so you may want to check out other things for later in the evening.

My kids will be with us at the party. We'll be leaving afterwards. We are not taking advantage of the PI clubs.

Afterwards, I think we're going to either hit the pool or activate those AP's. We could be tempted with Ohanas if there is a pre-cruise group heading over there.

I guess we don't really have much of a plan.

Okay, curiousity got the best of me and I had to look this up --
Bahama Mama
Disney Cruise Line


1/2 oz white rum
1/2 oz meyers rum
1/2 oz creme de banana
1/2 oz malibu rum
2 oz oj
2 oz pineapple juice
dash of grenadine



Sounds yummy!

I think I'm much more of a Bahama Mama kinda girl... Oh, and if you check back, Cindy and I already have dibs on being the DISgirls with the drinks permanently attached to our hands

Okay, I guess we can share... Amy and Diana can join us .

As to Cindy being too busy to chat and read at the same time... no way! After all, I'm unpacking and chatting at the same time...


BTW - 1 room left to go and we will be OFFICIALLY UNPACKED... whoo hoo!!!

And it only took 4 weeks! Of course, this doesn't include the boxes of "miscellaneous" that went into the attic, or the boxes that went into that "man world" we call a garage.

As for chatting a lot, I feel like this is my own little coffee circle lately! It's really been enjoyable. I wonder how many people are being driven crazy???

Lisa - I agree! And laughed outloud at my desk about your "driving people crazy comment"

Mary - didn't realize the pub would be open by then! Anyone have an idea what the menu might be like as that's another great idea! Wonder if they will take ADRs/PSs?

 

[HookdonWDW]

We'll be staying after at SSR until Sunday (anybody else just a little trepidacious over traveling 9/11?) My hubby is trying to get a tee time for golfing (not sure where exactly) for Friday morning. We're going to the Night of Joy Friday night and will take the morning easy with no park outings. Saturday will be Epcot and I think we're going to try to get in MGM too - last time we went Tom didn't get to ride any of the rides - too long of lines.

Never even thought about the fact that we were flying out on 9/11 until you mentioned it. I'm not really worried about it. Guess it has to do with dh being in the military... I try not to worry about things I can't control.

We're looking at attending NOJ also, but on Saturday, not Friday. We're not sure though, because we're doing the Sunrise Safari on Sunday, and I don't know if I can handle a late night at MK followed by an early morning at AK.

We'll have the girls with us too, so no PI clubs for us. And, I KNOW that if I mention O'Hana to Chris (or he reads it on these boards - hi honey) we'll definitely be going. So, count us in for O'Hana.

 

[HookdonWDW]

What's everyone doing Saturday night after the DVC presail party? We are thinking of trying to get O'Hana reservations and heading over to the Poly to chill out, eat some food and possibly see wishes from the beach before we head back to PI or to bed.

We'll have the kids with us, so we're thinking about exploring the shops at DTD, and grabbing a bite to eat at Rainforest Cafe or Earl of Sandwich before heading back to OKW.

Sounds like we are going to have quite the DISgirls fruity/frozen drink party going on.

BTW - 1 room left to go and we will be OFFICIALLY UNPACKED... whoo hoo!!!

Heck, we've been in our house for 7 years and I swear there are some boxes around here that are still from when we got married and moved in.

Oh, absolutely! Anyone else care to join in??

As to Cindy being too busy to chat and read at the same time... no way! After all, I'm unpacking and chatting at the same time...

I am woman, hear me.....no wait, you don't want to hear me sing ........seriously, I can juggle 8 kids needs all day long and not get overwhelmed. Reading and DISing at the same time, no problem.

I'm right there with you, Lisa.

Besides bringing your calendars to reserve your next cruises, don't forget that you may find unbeatable prices to add points if you are thinking of it.
We added 100 points, were entered into a drawing and won the free Cancun week. Grand great deal!

I'm covering my ears... I don't hear you! After we just bought our new house, this cruise, and looking at the possibility of booking a new one, I think dh might jump overboard if I even CONSIDERED an add on.

Hmmm... he is a good swimmer...

[alikat99]

Hmmmm, I think that we are all going to get along just fine!!!

 

[HookdonWDW]

Heck, we've been in our house for 7 years and I swear there are some boxes around here that are still from when we got married and moved in.

ROFL... in the last 7 years, we've lived in 4 houses in 3 states (Hawaii, MD and AL)... can't wait for the moving to stop!

I know what you mean! Before we moved into this house, I had moved 5 times in just 2 1/2 years. I told Chris when we moved into this house that I was NOT moving again. And, if we were going to move again any time in the future, he had better hire someone to pack us, move and unpack everything.

The first 2 years we were married, we moved 8 times.

When we moved here, I said, that's it, never again. It's been 13 years. We've long outgrown our home. Now that we are ready to move, Cameron is very adament against it. This is his home, these are his friends, this is his school. Oye!

One of these days, we'll tackle an addition. That's a really scary idea to me.

Hmmmm, I think that we are all going to get along just fine!!!

Your right, Amy. And for those who try to rain on our cruise (parade), we'll pull out these -- and just keep partying away!!

I made a promise to myself to lurk less and post more and am failing miserably. I am finally caught up reading the thread and thought I may as well jump in now.

Since I can only take one Saturday off we are flying down to MCO late on Saturday night the day before the cruise and I am paying a a ridiculous room rate at the Hyatt rather than rent a car for one night to stay offsite. We will miss the PI party. We hope to be able to use the DCL busses from the airport to get to the port and back.

We are staying after the cruise at BCV and attending the pin event at Epcot. My sister's two friends are flying in Thursday morning fron Philly and we plan to meet up , rent a car and drive to WDW. When we realized Sunday was 9-11 we decided to fly home Monday instead- I just couldn't do it as I am scared to fly as it is. I did book the Segway tour for Monday morning.

I am enjoying reading about everyone's plans and am getting very excited.

 

[WDWLVR]

Rose - you are going to love the Segway tour. We did it last year! So much fun to be in World Showcase pretty much by yourselves.

 

[Diana Lyn]

Hmmmm, I think that we are all going to get along just fine!!!

I know! I'm SOOOO excited!!

Now if only you guys can help me plan this birthday party as good as we've planned this cruise......
