Special 9/1/08 Cruise Continued - Part 3

[kdonnel]

I am going to Cancel my Castle tour. , I have to find out how to cancel, if I can coordinate with someone they can take it. I am going 8/31 at 1:20 I think..

My family and I would be happy to go in your place. I am a DVC member and will be there before the cruise!

I sent you a PM as well.

Let's hope Gustav weakens and dwindles so noone will be affected!

Looking at those radar pics someone posted-what are those 3 other things circling out there?

More importantly, How do people pack the wine bottles they are bringing? How do I get hem on the plane? then the ship?

 

[Nftysqrt]

hey everyone, trying to catch up on this thread. Had a bad week of being sick and not getting out of bed because of my foot. So much to do and not enough time. Hope all is well with everyone and can't wait to
be on the magic.

 

[BobandLee]

Good evening everyone.
Just stopping by to say "HI".

 

[BobandLee]

Hey kids,
Yep, fell off of the face of the earth & pulled myself back up by my boot straps. For those of you who don't know me, Hello. For those of you who do- We are due to come on the cruise, however- I cannot promise that we will actually be there. Too long & dreary of a story to pass on. I didn't want to reappear, until I was certain that there was a 95% chance we would actually make it on the ship.

I am looking forward to meeting all of you & hope that this cruise is as much fun as they all have been.

BTW- to the lanyard committee, please don't worry about making some for us. I understand the hassel of being last minute. I'm not going to bring the fish extender either. This will be a pretty low key event for us.


Celeste

Hmmm. Not sure if we have met.
Glad you can make the cruise.
Maybe I should bring some mint.

I don't think that you can bring wine on the plane...someone please confirm this for me.
If I remember correctly, you can only carryon 3oz. of liquid and nothing in glass bottles.

That was me that posted the pics. Those are other areas that the NHC is watching, one has less than a 20% chance of ever becoming anything, but the other two have a 20-50% chance of developing into something....

No worries! Pixie Dust and prayers for the 20%

For the dog lovers out there......http://www.wlfi.com/global/story.asp?s=8901819
Nope. It's not Belle. May be a relative since she is from that area.

My my my. Guess a good Buffett song for this cruise could be "Trying to Reason with the Hurricane Season"

That's the news, goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow.

 

[Dopeylover54]

I checked on TSA website, found a thread talking about packing in styro container and checking as luggage.
I hope this helps

Lyrics to above mentioned song for all those Non Parrotheads


By: jimmy buffett
1974
Squalls out on the gulf stream
Big storms comin soon
I passed out in my hammock
And God I slept til way past noon
Stood up and tried to focus
I hoped I wouldnt have to look far
I knew I could use a bloody mary
So I stumbled next door to the bar

Chorus:
And now I must confess, I could use some rest
I cant run at this pace very long
Yes its quite insane, I think it hurts my brain
But it cleans me out and then I can go on

Theres somethin about this sunday
Its a most peculiar gray
Strollin down the avenue thats known as a1a
Feelin tired, then I got inspired
I knew that it wouldnt last long
So all alone I walked back home
Sat on my beach and then I made up this song

Chorus:
And now I must confess, I could use some rest
I cant run at this pace very long
Yes its quite insane, I think it hurts my brain
But then it cleans me out and then I can go on

Well the wind is blowin harder now
Fifty knots or thereabouts
Theres white caps on the ocean
And Im watchin for waterspouts
Its time to close the shutters
Its time to go inside
In a week Ill be in gay paris
Thats a mighty long airplane ride

Chorus:
And now I must confess, I could use some rest
I cant run at this pace very long
Yes its quite insane, I think it hurts my brain
But it cleans me out and then I can go on

 

[Caitsmama]

Good morning all!! I am surprised --- quiet night on the thread last night! You all must be busy packing!! LOL

 

[Verandah Man]

Hi All......

Just got home from my morning workout, now it's time to get ready for work. See ya folks later on.......

 

[Laxmom]

I wasn't here because my laptop crashed. Taking it to the Geeks this am to see if they can at least recover some files. Just what I wanted to think about doing just before vacation!!! Sure hope I don't need a new one - this one is 3 years old. I need it for school! Argh!

Off to pack and run to the store for zip ties! Later all!

You definitely win the "needs this cruise the most" award. No matter how overwhelmed or frustrated you feel, things have a way of falling into place.

UGH!! I hope that your computer is fixable.

Just found our packet of zip ties last night. Thanks for reminding everyone.

I know this is off topic but it's a quick question I promise.

The day before we sail, I am at Pop for the Amercian Adventure dinner and have purchased a EVENT ONLY ticket to enter Epcot. I would however like to get my face painted by Disney before the party. While I can do my own, it's nice to have someone else do it. I'll be having to do my own for the whole cruise.

My question is: is there somewhere at Downtown Disney to get it done?

Any help would be appreciated.

 

[Caitsmama]

Yes, there is a booth at DTD that does facepaint, also there is a booth on the boardwalk - which would be closer to Epcot!

I think we are dwindling on the thread as people leave this week. Wish I was one of them! We head out Sat at O dark thirty! Everyone else is busy getting ready to go! Whoo hoo!!
