Thanks UKANGEL (who wanted to come but is not going to be able to)



The events planned as part of this cruise by folks on this thread. To express an interest in participating in any of the above contact the coordinator by PRIVATE MESSAGE (PM) or post on the thread asking about availability. :)


:drinking: DIS Dinner and Meet-up at Fishlips Restaurant, Sept 11, Night Before the Cruise--Coordinator--EllaEnchanted Let the fun start early, the night before the cruise with a DIS dinner meet-up at Fishlips Restaurant. RSVP and your party will be added to the list. It will help with getting an accurate count so that a table or tables can be booked. For more information about Fishlips Restaurant click here.


:Pinkbounc CG-- Champagne Girls--Coordinator--EllaEnchanted SUNDAY SEPT 13TH FROM 1-3PM IN SESSIONS. This event is a champagne tasting.....we'll sample different champagnes ranging from dry to sweet and learn something about each of them. We would like everyone to wear PINK. Pink tiaras and boas will be provided. We will take a group picture. Our mascott is Sassy Bubbles and she will be dressed like a pink tink.....aka....Cheri. It's not necessary for everyone to drink champagne. We have tasters.....they will sample the champagnes. We have sippers....they will only have a little. We have non champagne drinkers....they can order whatever they want. There will be an additional charge to participate, but it will be minimal....usually $10 for tasters and $5 for sippers....no charge for non champagne drinkers. We'll try to keep it in this price range. Pictures will be available at Shutters for purchase separately. Deb will need to know the size of the group so that she can make appropriate plans with DCL and have sufficient champagne.


:bounce:SATS -- Shot's Around the Ship--Coordinator--iankh will take place on Sunday night, September 13th, 9:30 to 10-ish PM
. You can drink whatever you want, water, soda, or rot-gut. When we're ready, as a group, we'll move on to another bar :drinking1 on the ship. It is meant to be just a relaxed way for folks to get together and chat. Many of my friends on this cruise, I first met at Shots Around the Ship on another cruise. The count of respondents will provide information to make sure that DCL has our first venue staffed appropriately for the size of the gathering.


GOAA :jumping3: -- GEEZERS OF ALL AGES an impromptu milk and cookie meet at Cove Cafe every evening after late dinner for whoever wants to come then or later after the show.


:tiptoe: Fish Extenders--Coordinator--disneylove69 This is a little gift exchange, and it can be a lot of fun and full of surprises. A count of cabins and people will be needed in advance, so that the exchange can be organized, goodies purchased, etc.
I have not heard from Poohbear543, Tinkrules, or KimlovesDisney so I assume they will not participate.

If anyone hasn't gotten the list please send a PM. A few email addresses came back as undeliverable.

This is a list of confirmed participation. Let me know if there is a mistake.

WOW--WALKING ON WATER--Coordinator--Watcher Leader Ian is meant to be a way to keep active on board ship. I am planning on going for a long walk everyday and invite others to join me. I will be asking a bit more below, so I can get a better idea of what folks are looking for. This is the first time I've planned this sort of activity.

Thanks Jan!!!:thumbsup2 Now back to the old thread.

You are a SNEAK and a half.

Glad I got all the info in before you posted though. I wanted a couple posts so that there is enough space for everything.
 
We are here, we are here.

If you could do it on Saturday that would be great. I'll be sending out the info to the other organizers sometime during the day.

IAN: The survey info on page 1 post 1 says the survey will close at midnight on July 12. July 12 is Sunday. If you close it Friday night and I delete the link on Saturday we are jumping the gun. :confused3

Instructions please
 
I think you should give folks through the weekend.....::yes::

Wish I could remember what I signed up for! :lmao:

Monica...how's the lanyard team building going? Do I need to strong arm some more members? ;)

Still gotta get those blasted Mickey Ears made. HEY! I'll take them up to Prescott with me and do a craft project! ......or....maybe not......

.
 
Oh and Peg.....we aren't quite done with door signs yet. Still have to do the DCL nametags as soon as Tom gets them to me (I'm next on the list).

I can do them at my office though.

Cheri could make them or stand over you while you do it. Teachers are good at motivating students. :)

Mistake on my part with the date but at the time I was thinking day of week and counting out from when it opened.

I am going to need time to compile the information so, I will still really need to close it tonight. The survey's been open for about 3 weeks, so I don't think the extra 2 days will make much of a difference, and I want to get the information out to the planners.
 
I haven't started accumulating any yet but I was wondering, how many dollar bills should we bring?

I use the dollar bills for tipping room service because then I can make sure that the person gets the tip.

I also think of the tip holistically and my tipping starts at the airport here in Chicago. I always do curbside check in whenever possible, because I think they are a little more lenient regarding weight and size (flying SW) than they are in the concourse.

There is also other tipping along the way cabs, bellmen, etc. So, it seems like I always need singles.

.

I really don't think people actually paid attention to the closing date, and after numerous treatise to complete the survey over 3 weeks, I doubt that the extra hours will cause them to complete it. Besides, it has been open many weekdays, and I think the point has been hammered home in more ways than Mickey has wardrobe.

I still have to compile the information and I want to bring that to a close quickly I don't think it should be delayed any further. I do not have the time this coming week to do it and am working both Saturday and Sunday next weekend and will not have the inclination to do it.

So I would encourage anyone reading this, who has only thought about doing it and who does not have internet or computer access on the weekend to complete the survey.

I am sure that the 1 or 2 stragglers (if indeed there are any) can be handled via PM.
 
Oh and I apologize for getting my dates mixed up.
 
Click Here to complete the survey to sign up for the events if you haven't already done so.

I think King George could read this, even without his spectacles.
 
Not good. After a needle biopsy I got this Dr. to admit that he is quite certain it is cancer. He said it looks a lot like lymphoma. He is hoping that it is lymphoma because it responds well to chemo in a lot of patients. If it isn't lymphoma he said that it will be worse. You know you are in trouble when the Dr. is hoping for a certain type of cancer. Anyway, I know he wasn't supposed to say anything and he is hoping he won't get in trouble. I sure won't tell. I am just grateful to know so we have time to adjust to situation and can listen with clearer heads when the Dr. calls to discuss what is next. We are in for a rough road. I just hope it is treatable and not too late as Harry has been having symptoms for a while now. Poor guy is glad it is him and not me, our kids, or grandkids. He is especially worried sick about the grandkids. As for himself, what bothers him most is the possibility of losing his hair. I must admit that if it were me that I would feel the same way. Silly huh?

I know Harry will be going for many tests to see how far this has progressed and what stage it is. He still says we are going on this cruise. I hope so, but really don't see it working out at this point. I will let everyone know what we find out. We are supposed to get the results of the biopsy next Friday, the day after our 38th wedding anniversary.:sad2:

Hope everyone else is doing well!:goodvibes

Still hoping to see everyone in Sept.

Donna

Oops, almost forgot. Going to see Kid Rock and Lynryd Skynyrd tonight.:woohoo: Some of you might remember that I was really upset to miss the Kid Rock concert when we were on the repo. And Stacy will appreciate this...my son is taking me to the Metallica concert in October. It was my Mother's Day and Birthday gift.:thumbsup2 Yep, grandma has a darkside!:laughing:
 
Donna, still thinking about you and Harry, and will be praying for the best outcome. :hug:
