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

[fireplug]

I think I'm with you Squid. I would at least have to "take in the local flavor" if we made a stop like that.
By the way you and my Dad (grumpy 1) need to save a seat for me at Margaritaville!

Not a problem! I havent been to the store in Key West but I am sure we can get some rum drinks to slug down!

Gail sweetie, I think that is the Queen Mary. It is on display in Long beach I think that is it. She has 3 stacks and the Magic only has 2.

But that just shows when they designed the DCL ships to look like the Ocean Liners of the past" they succeeded!

Oh well the Wonder will be at Canveral tomorrow.

I'm thinking that's the rules, although I was just going to verify it when I saw your post.

I'd be interested in playing, but not sure I'll get myself to a scrapbook store before we leave.

If there isn't a formal sign up then if I get there, great, if not, no harm no foul. I just don't want someone DEPENDING on me bringing something. (plus, if I play, KT will have to play too!)

Yep, no rules, no formal sign up. You bring stuff, you exchange. Although I am keeping track and we have 19 who have posted that they are planning on it. YIPEE!

I went shopping this morning, didn't have any problem spending another $30 on scrapbook stuff!

I'm noticing a pattern here....
Mary's docs were delivered when she stepped out for some errands....
bunnymkc's docs were delivered when he/she stepped out to the post office....
now I see that grumpy-1's docs were delivered when he/she stepped out to Wal*mart.....

(sorry, don't know your real names/genders)....

I think if you're waiting for your docs you should go away. Run an errand. Head to the grocery store. Drive around the block a few times....

Seems like the UPS man likes to sneak in when you're gone and deliver them!

And I went to Indy to visit my sister and DD, and when I got home, the docs were on my coffee table. My mother-in-law brought them in for me along with our mail.

I am doing the mental checklist-driving myself crazy!
Do I have... Do I need..., etc.

Anyway, a couple of questions:

1.I read in the docs you can check-in at the resort if you are doing a combined Land/sea type trip. Would this apply to DVC resorts or only Land/Sea Packages thru DCL?

2. Do all of the members have to be present to check-in at the port? For example, if kids and I check-in for us and then DH parks, etc, can he check himself in later?. We are doing car rental so I am trying to figure out the most expeditious way to get me on the ship!!!

3. REirate costumes for kids
Are your kids willing to participate in the costume aspect of Pirate Night-if so hwta are they wearing?

Noreen I can only respond to this one question. I believe the check-in at the resorts is only if you are booked on a DCL land/sea package. Plus since our cruise is a charter what you get at check-in will be differnt than a normal cruise. For one thing we'll have the voucher to redeem if we want one of the special pins.

Ok, I'll try to answer these.

2. Do all of the members have to be present to check-in at the port? For example, if kids and I check-in for us and then DH parks, etc, can he check himself in later?. We are doing car rental so I am trying to figure out the most expeditious way to get me on the ship!!!

My understanding is that you do not have to have all members present at check-in. You can check in with the kids and then have your DH go to the same CM that checked you in, and he will show his ID and the CM will give him his KTTW card.

3. REirate costumes for kids

I am going to make quick pirate costumes for the girls. I'm just using plain white ts that I'll cut the bottom & sleeves jagged. Then, I'm making them cheap black skirts and a red sash. That's it. Same thing for myself & DH, except DH will wear black pants.

 

[alikat99]

Wow, it's been quiet today. I just realized that we have over 7800 posts. For a while there, I thought that we were going to make 10000 posts by the time that we cruised. But with as quiet as it's been, I'm guessing that might not be possible.

Anyway, I know that we can make it to 8000, and maybe even 9000.

We have 2 weeks to go, and I want to get to know everyone, even those that don't post much (but still read everything). We know you're out there, come on out of the woodwork and start chatting!!!

 

[fireplug]

well if we are gonna make 9000 we'd better get going!

I liked the last fluff question a lot as I have a good friend that cruises regularly on DCL and I don't believe they get off the ship that often, in fact I know they don't at CC as she is not a big fan of the beach.

Went to the scrapbooking store today and Matt was brave enough to join me (I think it's his first and last trip). Spent a TON but they had some awesome stuff I couldn't pass up for the grab bag and of course for me. There I was going "one for me, one for my invisible friend" lol. Are we putting these in something fancy like a gift bag or just a regular scrapbooking bag? Just want to make sure I am prepared. The check out lady was asking all these questions and when she caught on this is what she said "so you are going on a Disney cruise and doing scrapbooking and an exchange with total strangers you met on the internet?" YES!

I discussed pirate outfits with Matt today and he wasn't too keen on dressing up. He said he'd wear his Pirates of the Caribbean Tshirt and possibly an eye patch/bandana. For the theme night are jeans appropriate and allowed? Don't want to get in trouble. Of course I don't have a POC tshirt so now I either have to create one or buy one when we arrive. Suggestions anyone?

Ailycat99 ok I am doing my share to help make the 10000 posts. We just got back from dragon boat races and I am catching up on everyone's posts. Only 13 more days for us and we will be sipping a beverage by the pool. Looking forward to meeting all the DIS people.

Oh we used to have Dragon boat races on the Mississippi in Iowa where I am from - how fun! Did you race?

 

[TENNDVC]

No I was not in the boat but was part of the cheering committee at shore. We had two boats in the race from the company I work at. The money raised went to the Second Harvest Food Bank. My son was in one of the boats so it was fun watching them compete. His boat won against our other boat so they have bragging rights next week at work.

I did my shopping as well today.

GTMA, chipscinderelly, because as I'm shopping, I'm was thinking about the same question as far as presentation. (where's that music? )

Are we suppose to be put the items in a gift bag, wrap like a present or even a scrapbooking bag?

Anyone?

Noreen, both of my boys are dressing up. They are willing participants in this idea -- so far.

I bought pirate t-shirts for me & DH. Add a couple extras and we are all set. Nothing fancy for us.

Amy, I thought we were going to make 10,000 easily. Not so sure anymore

But, 8,000 definately, 9,000 sounds like a goal.

How about another game of GTKYFC? I'm sure we can come up with some more thought provoking questions to move our thread along .

Let's see how many questions we can come up with this time --

1. I graduated high school from .....
2. I am currently employed as a ......
3. My dream job would be .....



Anyone have any to add?
