Way Early I know but anyone going on Eastern May 1-8 2004?

[saturday97]

Jason, LOVE the drunken smilie!!! The hurling smilie though, yeesh! I'm going to try to avoid doing any of that!

I had several konk koolers on the last cruise and have been fantasizing about them all year-- I saw the recipe but I decided not to try making them, it's just easier to cruise again and leave it up to the experts!!!

 

[hydster]

Allison--well I'm glad to hear you have been here every day..but come chat with us! I'm glad to hear you're keeping up with us and that you plan on finding a bar like the rest of us!

I was LOL at you talking about your TA getting the weekend off! We've done that before and once got told if we called one more time we'd have a restraining order against us (she was just kidding) but it was funny! Now since most of the time we use online TA's it's harder to stalk them via email! I hope you get them soon and maybe the long wait on the GTY means they are seeing if they can give you an awesome upgrade.. that would be worth waiting for!! LOL
Tanner's turning 5 on the 7th of April and we have a party scheduled for him that following Friday, then Easter, having my kids home from school until the Wed after Easter and then only 2 weeks left til we leave! It will go fast or at least I hope it will go fast! LOL Cool about going to sommalier school! I saw a TLC program called Faking it or something like that and this guy who was totally NOT a sommalier material had to go to sommalier school in a record amount of days and then try to convince some critics that he really was a sommalier! It was really interesting to watch and if I see you on the ship you can bet I will be asking you what to have in the vino dept! LOL If you wear your thong I'll wear mine NOT! I dont think there is enough liquid courage on that boat to get me to do that again and McKaylee my 10 year old dd would absolutely DIE! She's at that age where everything is embarrasing! hmmm on 2nd thought....

Saturday--I'm going to try to avoid the hurling as well but one never knows! I've NEVER EVER had a Konk Kooler so I'm looking forward to trying one (I have no idea what they are even) but it sounds so Caribbean and so me. LOL about not wanting to try to make them..I agree! It's a great reason to keep going back and back and back!!

Well off to take McKaylee to her achievement day class!

I don't know if any of you saw this on the regular dis board but this family has posted a link to a video of their cruise and it just got me even more pumped up than I already am!

Here's the link (I hope this works) and you will need quicktime to get it..if you dont have quicktime you can go to
http://www.apple.com/quicktime

I haven't received my DOCS yet. I booked through a TA and I call her so often she thinks I'm stalking her. And since I booked a GTY I don't know my cabin #.
Oh well,..gotta call Lisa, my travel agent.
Allison

Allison--

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying the site.

Travis and I have always ended up with the LAPLAPL dining rotation and we'll probably get that one again. I think it has something to do with us not having any kids.

As far as the matrix, you may want to print out all three just in case. That way, no matter what rotation you get, you'll be covered.

Sorry everyone! I posted my last message twice!

Hello and Good Morning.

Heidi-is this video really that great?I checked and it would take over 1 Hour to open and I don´t have a flat rate.I guess I´ll have to wait untill i see the real thing(only 19 Days).LOL about spotting everyone on board,I´m glad we meet one day earlier so we can go people hunting at the goofy pool together.And I´m sure if we are as crazy together as we might,they will spot us.We have our pictures at threecircles to identify us,also my hair is a lot longer and more blond but Silke is still red and long.

Jason-I too ,haven´t tasted a KOnk Kooler in my life,does that mean off with my head as well?Or am I being spared because I´m german and here no one has even heard about a drink like that.

I have one important question and hope somebody can help:I need to do some shopping for my job while at WDW.I normally do it in Boston in stores called CVS.I don´t know if there is one but if not,what other sort of stores should I look for that carry similar stuff?Was that understandable,it´s really early here?

CM_Mom - still cabins available at disneycruise.com.More positive thoughts going your way.And thanks for the reasuring about clothes .

Take care and talk to you soon.

Conny

 

[conny264]

@Heidi: I am NOT red and long!!!!

Actually I am more of a Hobbit so to say. Well I guess Conny was talking about my hair

I am getting excited now, and I even started to get some travel gear ready !


SEE YOU ALL REAL SOON!!!

Silke

 

[Alice Sr.]

Hello

Conny I'm pretty sure you'll find Eckerd's very similiar to CVS, if you can't find a CVS in Orlando.

Brenda LOL on the little green hurling dude.

Reine do you have a patience issue because God sure is testing you on this one I'll be sure to send up a special request tomorrow morning.

I am not endowed enough

Neither am I that's why I thought what the heck. There were all these big breasted European chicks laying around I figured no one would even look twice at me LOL. The miracle bra is also my friend. I am so stressed over the taxes I had to have a massage last night and a glass of wine. I'm not going to spend anymore money until I find out the bottom line on Monday. (what a waste of a perfectly good weekend)

Hey Allison glad you checked in. Sounds like you will be a perfect fit in this rather eclectic community Knowledge is a very good thing especially the kind of knowledge you have, we should try to plan our own little wine tasting. Conny could bring a bottle (or two) from Germany, I'll bring something from IL (don't worry not a local vineyard) and so on and son on

Maybe we should contact DCL and encourage them to put us all on one floor, kind of away from the rest of the guests

I have something for you Jason but I'm going to go ahead and post this in case I do something to screw it up. I don't want to lose this post as this is pretty much of epic proportions for me.

Later,
Alice

 

[Alice Sr.]

Here you go Jason - a dining suggestion for when we're in
St. Martin. (and a little revenge )

[CM_Mom]

Alice,

I'm always VERY careful NOT to pray for patience. I says in James that tribulations works patience and I don't need any more problems. But like I said before, God has a wonderful sense of humor and he's currently saying WAIT child. I think he's trying to teach me to live in the moment and be grateful for what I already have. Not a bad idea for all of us.

Got an e-mail from DD and she's checking daily so with all the prayers and positive thoughts, whatever happens will be wonderful.

Reine

 

[bobbidiboo]

OMG Alice I just loved the dining sugestion for Jason, I think that is just the kind of place we should all have a meet at
Listening to it got me in a toe tapping good mood this cloudy rainy day!! I was sitting at computer and thinking I should be doing something like Spring cleaning NOT!!! But now I feel like doing the Mambo #5 on the treadmill Thanks for the motivation
Brenda

 

[CM_Mom]

Alice, That's priceless. I needed a good laugh.

Reine

 

[saturday97]

Jason, I think we need to have a Konk Kooler initiation ceremony for those who have yet to experience one!

 

[Alice Sr.]

If I could find the recipe I would do some initiating right here at home I'm going to do a seach and see if I can come up with anything. I'll keep you posted.

 

[saturday97]

Here's the recipe I saw before, but like I say, I prefer to leave it to the experts on the cruise: "Hmm, I feel like a Konk Kooler-- time to cruise again!!"

1/2 can of cream of coconut or one 12 oz can frozen pina colada mix

3 ounces light rum
3 ounces dark rum
1/2 of a 12 oz can frozen passion fruit juice concentrae (Welches)
4 oz of orange juice
2-3 cups of ice
mix all together in a blender until very fine and smooth

Experience Bliss!!!

 

[Alice Sr.]

saturday97 - ya beat me - here's some of the other posts I thought were interesting

Konk Koolers recipe from DCL:

1 oz Light Rum
3/4 oz Dark Rum
2 oz Pina Colada Mix
2 oz Passion Fruit Juice
2 oz Orange Juice

Blend over ice.

This is the "official" recipe. Thought I'd share.

and;

The Konk Cooler is good.....
But the Midori Colada IMO is WAY better. YUMMY! Hubby and I were hooked on them! They are made with Melon Liquor (sp?). It seems like most of the foo-foo drinks have that Cream of Coconut base in them. Anyway, you must try a Midori Colada!

there were ONLY 105 posts on the subject

We are having a chick party for my friends 40th tonight so I'm going to practice on them

Happy weekend all!

We've had a bit of a cold spell here in Florida. Had to pull out the long sleeve shirts and jeans when we went to see Home on the Range last night. Which, by the way, was a pretty cute moooovie!

Has anyone checked the Port Canaveral cam this morning? Just three more Saturdays until we'll all be partying on Deck 9 and 10, sipping our Konk Koolers during our Konk Kooler initiation (as suggested by Amber), and sailing out to sea! How great does all that sound?


Alice--

Your movie was a blast with the Mambo #5 song. They usually play a special version of that song on the ship: A little bit of Minnie in my life. A little bit of Mickey by her side. A little bit of Donald's all I need. A little bit of Pluto in the sun....

Alice, you gave great info about the CVS and Eckerd situation here in Florida. Eckerd is actually in the process of being sold off by JC Penney (it's parent company) and CVS is buying all of the stores in Florida and Texas. So, when you said that the two were very similar, you weren’t kidding in the least!


Conny--

All I can say is, if you've ever seen Alice in Wonderland you would know what the Queen of Hearts would say about you not having a Konk Kooler... Off with her head!!!


Brenda--

I can just see ya now, spring cleaning to Mambo #5! Here's another one...

<a href="http://kozo.apparitiondesigns.com/">And one more here.</a>


Amber--

I love your idea about the Konk Kooler initiation! And, with the Konk Koolers being so outstanding, I'm thinking all of the "pledges" would love it too!


Here's today's Disney Magic May 1st Cruise Daily Countdown Riddle!

27 Days!

 

[CM_Mom]

Good try but Mambo #5 was better.

Still doing the patience thing. Talked to DD this morning and she's made ressies for us at Coronado Springs Resort for AFTER the cruise. No word yet on availability for the cruise. DCL is still showing 4,5,6,7,9 so there's still hope. She said they often get their availability from TA "releases" so I'm gonna stay positive.

For grins I tried on my Mother of the Groom dress last night to see how it would work for formal night. I posted on another thread that unfortunately the dress lasted longer than the marriage did. Also unfortunately, I've "relaxed" my shape a little since then but I can still get it zipped. Go Curves, Go Curves. May work and may not. Should be an interesting month. Hmmm, what's to eat.

OK...I've got to get off the boards and get some progress made on this house. It's not the cleaning that's a problem, it's the JUNK. This is a good day to throw stuff AWAY.

Happy Saturday Everyone,

I think I'm driving my family nuts with the 4 weeks from we'll be arriving at the port, 4 weeks from now we'll be standing in line and such, so I thought I would visit here and the people who can appreciate the fact that 4 weeks from now we'll be getting ready for the life boat drill

Well I broke down and bought a new swimsuit today. Let me say that I am very, very depressed at the way I look in it. I'm not much of a drinker, but swim suit shopping makes me want to drink. Oh well, I bought a pair of shorts and shirt to cover up with

I can't wait to get to Florida - our weather here is awful. Cold and rainy with snow showers predicted for tomorrow. We had to stand outside last night for 2 hours in a high 30 degrees and rain to watch my DD's soccer game. At least they won, but we were frozen solid till it was over.

Well, I'm off to clean the basement. We have our annual yard sale next Saturday and I need to get stuff together. THe only motivation I have is that all money made will be cruise money.

CM-Mom - keeping my fingers crossed for you. Hopefully you'll hear something soon.

Love the Konk Kooler recipe - can hardly wait to have one.

Have a great weekend.

Tammy
