September 17, 2006 - 11 Night Southern Caribbean Part 2

Tracey,

As always, a phenomenal newletter. Thanks to you and all contributers for their hard work!

Gail, there are actually 8 of us for Eli's Eco tour, I think. My mom is still up in the air on it, but we're counting her.

Really dumb question: We are Castaway Cay members, but have been told multiple times that 90 days out is July 4, so that is when we can book Palo, excursions, etc. Are we using fuzzy Disney math to make it June 19th? Or are you guys all in concierge level and can do 105 days out? (Lucky DISsers!!!)

Hugs to Sue and Christina!

July 4 is 75 days out. That's when final payments are actually due. If you pay before 90 days out, you can book excursions, Palo, spa, etc. at the 90 day mark.

DUH! Thanks. I haven't even had time to sit down and count the actual days.

Due to my husband's work load in September, my family just re-scheduled from the 10 day cruise to this one. We're annual Disney cruisers for the past 5 years. We're Sandy (me), Chris (husband) and Robert (9-y.o. most wonderful son). We've got our "regular cabin" 5624. And just can't wait until its vacation time. Boy do I/we need it. Have a good day!

Hi everyone! I have received the last article for the newsletter and I just have to finish it up! I should have a link to everyone yet this morning

As for the Pineapple Beach Resort in Antigua, that looks like a popular spot. I received information from DCLDreamers who have been there before and they will be going again. That was in the newsletter on Tuesday. Celeste sent information about the place to me on Thursday morning and now Susan, you have information Thursday night I will make sure it's ALL in the newsletter today. Thanks everyone!

Goes to show - GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE!!!!

Strissel, WELCOME ABOARD, other will be contacting you with Newsletter info, and other fun Stuff.

Does your husband Chris have a grass skirt????

Some who know me will understand the irony of this picture. Last weekend when I was at Epcot, I got my picture taken for free as part of the Disney Visa promotion for the 50th celebration. You go to Innovations West (I think) and there is a roped line going into a doorway. At the back of the doorway entryway there is a sign about the promo (you'll miss it if you don't look for it). you have no clue which characters will be in there until you go in. I did not get the one of her hugging and kissing me but did tell her to say hi to Mickey for me

Irony - I'll say, considering the way you described her in a recent E-mail -

We just got back from shopping and Bill will become a member of the Grass Skirt Fraternity It took a lot of bribery, but he has a grass skirt now.

Welcome aboard Strissel

Man, I checked out page one. You guys really have your act together. I'll break it to my husband about the grass skirt at the sailaway party. Son wants to know if he has to wear one too. Just where do I get one. Perhaps Oriental Trading, some wild party store. Oh well, I'm off to a strip-tease cardio Jazzercise class. Just, you guys, carry-on.

Oriental Trading works well, or the parking lot of a Jimmy Buffett concert

To all the newbies and the not so new who haven't gotten them yet,

Doug and I have several "Fish Extenders" done up ahead. This means that we can send them out as soon as we get requests. We aren't going to make any more up right now, though, until we see how many more requests we get. By our count there are over 40 staterooms we haven't heard from yet (not that we expect to hear from all of you since some of you are using the ones you have) so if you want to be in on the contest and the fun all you have to do is PM us.

Make sure you get on the Roster, so you can get a lanyard.

You have to get a Fish extender they are awesome.
and some of the Disers will be putting little things in them during the Cruise.

Just an update; my nephew, Johnnie, passed away today just after 4pm. Please continue the prayers, good thoughts and pixie dust as his family tries to get through the next few days.

 

[Kitster]

Nope - I just got a little excited in the planning process. Guess I can't count! (I forgot to count July 31 and August 31) Thanks to you and Tracy I will not be staying up late for no good reason. Actually this is going to kind stink having to do it on a work night. OH well - Heather is out of school then so I will not have to get up as early. (At least it is midnight for me vs 2 or 3 AM.

Yeah, this is one of the few times it pays to be on the left coast. Most of the time we have to get up at o'dark:30 to register for events at WDW. This time I get to do everything before I go to bed for the night

Has anyone thought about planning a Palo get together one night? If enough of us book ressies for the same night (staggered times of course, but with a 30-45 minute window) maybe we can sit close enough to be really annoying to everyone else in the restaurant.

 

[BobandLee]

MommaluvsDis, we are so sorry to hear that. Our condolences to your family.
