Traveling the WB Repo 2008 with an ex - FINISHED with PICS

[littleaussie]

We will be on the EB Panama Canal Cruise and I can't wait to read your TR. Lots of details please. I know I would be going crazy this close to my trip. I am sure you will have a great time. Our 90 day booking date is May 19 while you are on your cruise and hopefully Disney will have all the bugs worked out of their online booking system.

Thanks for coming along for the ride! I hope I can keep up with the report each day of the trip, so you can get some ideas before the booking date. I'll keep my fingers crossed you have smooth sailings in that department!

Let's see, where was I. . . Oh yes, Disboard activities! I got into the excitement of the meets thread for our trip way back in February of 2007. I offered to teach Australian Bush Dancing sometime onboard. Since I am a dance teacher by night, I enjoy helping people boogy on the dancefloor. But what to do, I can't find my music??? Maybe I'll just have to teach those unsuspecting peers one night at a bar. Hey, maybe Ian will allow me to hijack his shots around the ship party and I could teach bush dancing to those who are still able to stand after!

I'm scheduled to meet up with those at the port area the night before at Fishlips, should be fun! I also joined a fish extender team and signed my daughters up for a secret mickey exchange. Anything more, I wouldn't be able to remember, so maybe I'll just wander the ship and screech "I found you!!!!" to each person who I think might have a remote possibility of being a fellow disser. . .

Today has been a SUPER day! Despite the fact that we got 3 inches of snow last weekend, this week is looking good (although the forecast says more snow on Saturday again)!!! Why, you might ask? I just got an unofficial acceptance to grad school . I have been sweating about this for about a month, now I can learn how to be a "real" teacher. Apparantly my self-made credentials aren't enough. . .

Also, I fell off my chair when I called my dad screaming the news. . . After he calmed me down and congratulated me on a great b.s. application and goals statement, he started talking cruise business. I was always happy to talk about that but today he dropped a bomb shell. You will never guess in a million years what he said!!!! And I quote: "Maybe while onboard, we should think about booking a future cruise!" Now this is from my dad, the tightwad, who will not allow us to order soft-drinks at a restaurant because it saves him $1.50. We had never even been out to eat at a restaurant until I was like 15 (and my 2 older sisters were gone by then). And once we finally got to go to McDonalds like other kids, we had to order off the $1.00 menu. I suppose with 5 daughters, he really was hurting to pay for all those weddings. That is why he agonized over spending so much on this cruise. Hey, but I'll take it! He didn't even flinch when I mentioned the deposit. Of course, I'll pay the deposit on me and the girls but I could not believe this was my dad talking like that!

So what's left to do before next Friday??? We'll have to wait and see. . .

No pics today, maybe this weekend.

See you in a few

Well I am the guy who will be wearing his Dodger hat every day. Say hi. Come to the bar at night. My friends and I like to party a little, after all we are on vacation. Also Congrats on Grad school.

Thank you! I can't believe it.

Will do my best to oblige, and thanks!

Yeah! Now I will be looking for Dodgers hats and waving furiously at everyone who wears one!

I received this letter in the mail the other day and had to share it with you:

Dear Jolene,

Thank you for your recent interest in traveling with us again on our Cruise Line. Unfortunately, due to incriminating evidence, we are unable to allow you to sail with us ever again. You were caught by our cast members on the January, 2006 cruise with the following issues:

1) Several complaints were lodged that you hid in the lifeboats and proceeded to jump out and scream at passerbys.
2) At 3:08 p.m. that same day, you invited people into your lifeboat if they brought their own pillows.
3) Later that same day, you ran a marathon around each deck of the ship and had people stationed strategically in spots to hand out tiny cups of water.
4) That evening, you tried to return your kids to the gift shop by repeatedly stating “They don’t work the way they are supposed to!”
5) After the formal night dinner, you spotted a couple holding hands and shouted “Red Rover, Red Rover!” and proceeded to run through them.
6) At the photo shop, you brought several roles of blank film to be developed and then proceeded to cry bitterly complaining “They ruined 15 days of sweat and blood to get those pictures!”
7) At Serenity Bay on Castaway Cay, you proceeded to ask every woman there “Are you my mother?”
8) You returned to the gift shop and took a price tag off an item, put it on yourself and told people you were $100.
9) One day, during a brunch session at Palo, you spent time outside using the windows as a mirror and proceeded to pick your nose and adjust your bathing suit.
10) A large group of Dissers complained that you put condoms in their fish extenders with a note saying “I’ll be back later to test these out with you”.
And finally. . .

You introduced yourself to 5 different people and then had their names paged with the instructions that they are late for their intimate rasuel appointment with you at the Spa.

We will not be issuing you a refund for your payment.

Have a Magical Day!

[hawkaye19]

I am POR as well. See you there on Sat morning as I will be getting the party started early at PI the night before.

Hats? Well if I have a hat, it will be a pink Caterpillar hat. Can't get that farming blood out of my system.

 

[littleaussie]

Well we are nearing the end of the pre-trip and the countdown to live is here!

This weekend was spent buying all those last minute things that I am convinced I cannot live without but will be a toss-up if I actually use them onboard.

This week will be doing all those girly things, cut/tan/wax, etc. . . Have to look good for Mickey!

Guess I better cancel my Eharmony subscription, sorry guys I've got a date with "The Mouse".

And to my fellow passengers: Feel free to use this trip report to add comments of your own throughout the trip.

By the way, I know of at least 2 other trip reports from this cruise. Not sure if they are going live too but thought I would mention them if you want to search.

 

[poohmomof5]
