This has been the straw breathing I picked up over the years from having blamed my spouse from time to time.... a good Ninja spends considerable time hiding....

In my case the toilet was not big enough so I bought a fountain for the court yard - it's a tight fit but I manage...​

thanks for the reply, aphoenix had also posted although you just stuck the knife in my back with that good candy addition, oh whoa what is a diabetic to do??? I blame my wife for addicting me to those halloween candy corns

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.

A seperate ticketed event, held certain evenings in MK after it closes to regular guests. We love it, great party, good candy.

Packing report:…… We are about got it together, Bags are weighing in at 46, 43, and 44 pounds, have to pack Lynn’s dive gear, waiting for it to dry. I am pretty pleased with the weight of the bags. Granted our dive gear is a whole lot less than what we would take on a dive only trip. Like no U/W camera, and backup everything.

Travel Tip: weigh your bags before ya get to the airport to avoid a $urpri$e with an over weight bag. I have a pack scale we carry and use to weigh our bags when on the road.

We will be shipping stuff to OKW as well as shipping stuff home.

Thanks Scott! We weighed our largest bag and it was just over so we changed things around. Now it's 2 pounds under!

umm correction, I didn;t plan it, just tagged along on tracy's trip...but yep that's the one!

If this is the Thriller Turtle & Shipwreck Snorkeling Adventure in Barbados tour that LetsGoSteelers was planing, then we're on it too (Kitster / Crowin17).

for some reason, that description sounds alot like the Cosol tour. ??

Since we have many new people since I last posted about the Lawrence of Antigua tour, I thought I would say something about it again.

There are actually 15 people from this group signed up for the Lawrence of Antigua tour. This is going to be a great tour in the morning, with a drop off at a nice beach afterwards for those who want it, back to the ship for those who don't. Lawrence returns to the beach later to take those of us at the beach back to the ship.

There is still room for more to join us.

Here is more info about the tour from Lawrence:

"Tour last just over three hour, we will be visiting historical sites like English Harbour, Nelson's Dockyard, Shirley Heights, in fact the entire national park. There is a $5.00 each entrance fee to enter into the national park, that will take care of all the sites we will be visiting inside the national park. We will be driving through the Rain Forest after, then you will see the beautiful coastline on the south western side of the island, then I will take you to the beach where you can relax as long as you wish. A restaurant and other facilities is on the beach.

I will take you back to the cruise ship at the end of the day, there is when you pay cash. Tour plus beach $45. US each. Tour only $35.US each.
Please note, I can take up to 28 person."

Very young children are free and older children are half price. 12 and over count as adults.

PM me if you are interested in joining us!

This is how it's worked in years past (that's not to say this is how they will be doing things this year):

1) With the MNSSHP ticket, you could enter MK park after 4 PM and receive a wrist band that allows you access to the party AFTER park closing. They could possiblly make people stick to the 7pm entry time, but that hasn't been done in the years we've attended.

2) If you are already in the park, having used your Park Hopper or AP, at ~4pm they will have locations around the park set up to exchange your MNSSHP ticket for the wristband.....you will NOT need to exit and re-enter the park.

3) At park closing, all party participants will be herded into one of the 'lands' while regular day guests are cleared from the park. (BTW, this is a great time to grab a bite to eat..you don't want to miss a minute of the fun).

4) Once the park has been cleared, the hounds will be released to

5) In terms of costumes, no full face masks are permitted for anyone. No costumes should drag on the ground, nothing offensive or overly risque is pemitted in the park.

Here's a list of the activities:

Event Highlights:

· The expanded Mickey's "Boo-to-You" Halloween Parade — better than ever with the new "Goofy's Candy Factory" finale!
· Trick-or-treating throughout Magic Kingdom® Park at numerous locations.
· Happy HalloWishes fireworks spectacular — where the Disney Villains go trick-or-treating in the sky!
· Characters decked out in their favorite costumes — so wear your's too.
· The most popular Magic Kingdom® attractions are open for your enjoyment.

I ordered tickets and we will all be there Sept. 29th I am so excited, I never knew what y'all were talking about "MNSSHP" until someone asked a couple of pages ago.....

Thanks again for the great info from everyone!!

On past special cruises, DCL has given a litho to commerate the cruise, we have them from the 1st inaugural western and the PC cruise. If Ducky, Don Williams is on board he has in the past done a litho for the cruise.

Okay questions, what is link dining and I need an explanation on the fish extenders pretty please!

Linking dining will allow you to sit with folks from this group.

Fish Extenders, are additional pockets that hang from the fish near your stateroom door, stuff will appear in the fish extenders from other DIS folks.

I am sure that is as clear as mudd, but some one will post a Fish Extender photo to clear things up.

 

[LetsGoSteelers]

ahh, sounds pretty cool.

what size tube would you recommend?

2-3 inch in diameter and about 30” long should do. Ours was cut down to fit in a hard sided suit case.

Last week I wrote our Boys schools an "excuse" letter detailing our vacation, where we were going and what they would learn etc. I deemed this cruise as an Educational Enhancement trip which I found in Kentucky State Law. I received approval from the middle and elementary schools This means they will receive all excused days

Things are never easy these days!! Anyways I thought I would share this for anyone who has to inform their school, if you need a copy of the letter just let me know!
