Chuck you make me laugh!!!

 

[BelleEm2]

Woot! I'll be on this cruise! We're flying down on Friday.

 

[ICEMANPAD]

Time to put this one back on top as most people have headed for the port...several are stopping at WDW for the Magical Christmas Party tonight and several morw will be at the Hyatt in Orlando or the Radisson at the port and we will also be at the port....I expect the parking lot at 945 tomorrow morning to be all Disboards folks...

Live from the Turkey week Magic...first evening..a bit rough due to the wind and the gulfstream but not too bad...on our way down to CC...had the Dismeet at Studio Sea this afternoon, which worked out great b/c the weather while sunny, was windy and temp was in the 60's....had about 100 people in attendance...grab bag exchange very popular and successful...waiting for late dinner...entertainment includes the ventriloquist w/the 2 birds..very funny..and John Charles...the singer who can imitate just about anyone and is very good...we have seen both in the past, but they are very good...weather for CC tomorrow is supposed to be pretty good though the water will probably be chilly, especially for those of us used to bathwater like water in South Florida.

Glad to get a live post....we leave Saturday! Is the 3D movie experience ready yet???

 

[ICEMANPAD]

Weather at CC today was picture perfect...ok the water was a bit cool, but temps topped out about 79 and there was a nice cool breeze all day...couldn't ask for a much better day...this pm Bolt premiered in the main theater....but not in 3D, yet...the movie went over very well and the Bolt pins are selling very fast as are the Thanksgiving Day pins, even though it is only Sunday...saw lots of fellow Disboards folks out on the beach as well...time to hit dinner at Parrot's

Chuck, I hope everything is going well. Just checking in. Will be waiting outside terminal and waving when you get off, so we can get on. Have a great week and I will try hard not to be envious. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Coming to you live from just off the NW coast of Cuba having passed Havana earlier today...just rolled out of the Palo brunch....stuffed as usual...seems like much of the Disboards group winds up at the same place...RLCook, 2X4, Disneypoor, SeadooKen (plus his friends) Cruiscrazy ++ and us were all there, and I may have missed a few....the weather is perfect again today w/highs in the mid 70's a cool breeze and warm sun...moderate seas are fine...Golden Mickeys matinee at 215 and Golden Mickeys menu for dinner...love that rack of lamb personally..

The FE traffic has been very heavy, but with nearly 50 kids and some adults on the exchange, that is not too surprising...

Live from Cozumel...weather again is very good...sunny but not too hot...the la-a-a-mb last night was very tasty...the chocolate golden mickey dessert as well....don't miss John Charles if he is back on board next week or whenever, especially the adult show at 1030, which he was allowed to run an extra 15 minutes beyond its scheduled end...our DS 9 was a dwarf in the Golden Mickeys....again...4th time...if anyone reading this has any questions feel free to post them....

Icemanpad -thanks for taking time from your cruise to post live! Have a great rest of the week!

 

[CruisingCamper]

We board on Saturday!! I am so excited about this trip! Are the Christmas Decorations up yet?

Thanks for posting a live thread!

 

[ICEMANPAD]

Some of the xmas stuff is up and well there are a few surprises still to come for the first-timers that I would prefer not to spoil, but if you have been here before, then you know fully what to expect.

Hey Chuck -
I agree. Thanks for the live thread. Love it. How early did you have to get to the Golden MIckey's for the dwarf selection. We have never gotten there even remotely close to when we should...

 

[Forever42]

Thanks for coming in and giving us updates!

I do have a question, is the Outlook Bar open at all? I've heard that it's pretty much been closed for a long time.

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

[ICEMANPAD]

Live from, well almost to GC...we will be arriving there, but late...not sure yet of the true reason...as to Outlook, not sure...but plenty of other bars ....as to dwarf, generally, get there early and get down front, but sometimes, they do pick from the back of the theater...by early, i mean about 20-30 minutes early....weather looks great again, though i suspect wind may make some water-based excursions a bit choppy...will check in later...

Chuck,

Can you do me a huge favor? Can you see if Bahar is still onboard and working at Shutters? If she is, can you ask her if she'll be onboard on the Jan. 24th sailing? Thanks!!

 

[DMMarla07860]

any of the good old cruise staff on board, hope your having a great trip I get to do a back-to-back inf Febuary so I'm reading trip reports to help the waiting

 

[Mean Queen]

Chuck,
I see you're having much more luck with the internet connection than I am. I couldn't log in at all the day of GC.

It has been great meeting so many Dis'ers.

Happy Thanksgiving!
