do I have to answer that?

 

[Suzy Mouse]

Just a question....So how many of us are staying at the Hyatt Friday Night?

4 here!

No Christmas decorations to worry about here but Dad gave us our Hanukkah present early!! A new camera that I wanted desperately for the trip. I can keep this one in my pocket!! I love my new toy!!!

ps..Teresa...Dad fixed the clock once more! Now it's at the perfect level!

SuzyMouse, glad to hear you got your camera!
I'm sure the clock looks great!!!

Godd Morning all . . .

Judy, Are you not sleeping due to the cruise, or that Steelers game??

I did not get a chance to watch it, but on the highlights this morning, it looked like a gut wrencher.

I did not get a chance to watch it, but on the highlights this morning, it looked like a gut wrencher.

The trip has me so excited I can't sleep. I wake up dreaming about it. I went out yesterday and bought a new Ziggy Marley CD and I woke up singing that too!
The Stiller game was so hard to watch. They were playing well but it was so close. The news is not showing the very end. Polamalu made a TD in the last 5 seconds. The official said it was a TD so we waited for the kick. No, they come back and say it was not a TD because of some stupid infraction. We still won 11-10.This morning the officials are being interviewed and they're saying it should have stood as a TD and they made a mistake!

 

[Hieatt]

Ok, other than Cheysdad and SuzyMouse who else is at the Hyatt?

We will be there - me, DW, 2 DDs and 2 DSs. We're taking a Happy Limo van Saturday morning.

Does anybody know if you can still drop off something at guest services to have the characters sign? If so, any suggestions for what kind of marker/pen to have a heavy piece of cardsock signed?

If it is something you are framing and putting somehwere it is exposed to light I would use a pen that is for scrapbooking or something more acid/lignen free so that it will do better over time.

If it is fabric that may be washed I would use fabric markers and they will stand up to washing and they will not bleed on the fabric weave like a Sharpie.

When you go to drop it off there is a form they will check off. You can request specific characters or the standard main 5 or princesses. I say request as many of them as will sign or say all characters and see what you can get.

Well back to work for me.

HerrQSmee will be at the Hyatt. Flight does not arrive until around 8:30. We had hoped to make a trip to Downtown Disney but have decided that we are arriving too late to make it worthwhile.

 

[Daytonamom2]

Have not been on in a while. Everybody is so far ahead of me. Last week was so much homework, dance class and the last day of puppy school. We have a schnoodle. That is a cross between a min schinauzer and poodle

So now I have to catch up with all you people. I am starting to see all the Black Friday ads on line. Anyone missing not being out at 5 in the morning standing in line.

Judy,

I am worried about you. Are we going to have to enrole you in a DCL adict program when the cruise is over?

Thanks Michelle. I'll go check out the scrap booking pens, sounds like the plan.

Black Friday . . . I was kidding DW that she can sleep in a little and stand in front of the shops on the Magic. I dont think they open till 8 or 9. Do you think they will have door buster deals?

 

[lexandme]

We can all shop at "She Sells Sea Shells" on Black Friday!

*****UPDATE******

I just spoke to Treva at DCL. She does not have a room location yet. She's going to send an email to DCL asking for the location asap. She told me that the number (100 DISers) has thrown them off and they are looking for a space big enough for us.
I'll let you know as soon as I hear from her. I told her to put the pedal to the metal cause I have to notify everyone in a timely manner!

Does anyone have the arrival and departure times for the ports?

 

[cruisecrzy]

Someone else may remember better but I believe it was Thanksgiving 2005 that the merchandise managers were just overwhelmed with this Black Friday Concept. So they had on on Castaway Cay at She Sells..... They set up some tables with merchandise that they marked down and then watched people "go nuts" It was very funny to watch and the merchandise people (non were fromthe US at the time) kept asking if they did it right and is this what it is like at the shops. It was really very funny.

I just spoke to Treva at DCL. She does not have a room location yet. She's going to send an email to DCL asking for the location asap. She told me that the number (100 DISers) has thrown them off and they are looking for a space big enough for us.

I know it was mentioned before but I have been on a sailing when it was outside the goofy pool area and we had the tables and I think the wooden thing where all the towels are kept with our meet exchanges all sprawled on it. And the kids came, met and ran right into the pool together. So there is a suggestion if all else fails. I am trying to think of another "public" space that could fit that many. Oh outside the Walt Diseny Theatre or the promenade lounge would be other locations if you are forced to figure it out yourself.

Does anyone have the arrival and departure times for the ports?

I have them at home and I will be headed there soon.

 

[lexandme]

Thanks Michelle! If she doesn't have a place those may be viable options we'll have to talk about!

Whomever has the Walt suite, now would be the time to confess . . . .

Whomever has the Walt suite, now would be the time to confess . . . .

I do not have the Walt suite. I was hoping to be upgraded but it looks like they made a big mistake and gave it to someone else.
We do however have a lovely cat 11 on deck 7!
At this point just give me a lounge chair on 4 and I'll be sooooo happy.......

 

[VAgal76]

You could always stalk the person....uh, I mean patiently wait in the hallways until the person in the Walt Suite arrives and con them into...oh, wait...explain to them what a big deal it would be for them to have the DIS meet in their suite.

I start packing tonight! Which is really a day or two behind my well laid out plan. I still got quite a few errands to run.

Me!!!!!!! We will arrive about 5:30 in the evening.

 

[lindaso]

Hey!! Just wanted to wish all you Jersey Week 2006 Turkeys a great trip. Keep the ship afloat for all those coming after you!! Can't wait to hear your reports after you get back. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

 

[ICEMANPAD]

The other option for the meet if you cannot secure a location earlier is Deck 10 shoreside overlooking the Goofy pool immediately following the life jacket drill leading into the sailaway party. Part of the problem may be that b/c of the drill, they may have an issue w/the timing. Also, a later start will allow for the late arrivals...not everyone will be there at 10a.m. like us (and quite a few others on here).
