Hi all!

Greetings from windy upstate NY!
Does anyone know if we pass the Wonder during our cruise? If we do, can you see it & when do we pass???

 

[conny264]

@ Hydster: Unfortunatly that pic of Conny and me is ancient! I feel ok as an hobbit. That is a good excuse for having lots of drink's and six meals a day!!! But don't worry, I don't smoke!!!

Take care!

Good Monday to everyone (is that possible to have a good Monday if you aren't on vacation?) Anyway....

Reine--good idea about calling POR and they confirm that we have a reservation though I still don't feel much better because she shows that the reservation was transferred from POR to PORFQ and back to POR. I guess we'll just live life on the edge. Coming from Utah we are 2 hours behind the E. Coast so we will be arriving at 9:00 our time which isnt TOO late for the kids...so I will just keep my fingers crossed, print out the confirmation I received from Disney and pray! I have a list that is 2 pages long SO FAR! LOL I love list making! I feel so much more in control! I think Ryan thinks I'm a freak but when we go we hardly ever need to buy anything we left at home. I'd definitely start with the 45...you can always work your way down to a lower number if you want!

Lisa--I haven't received one thing from DCL about our excursion on St. Thomas..hopefully they have us down. I may call them today if I get ambitious! I'm up for testing your Konk Koolers! I'll try anything once (except fish!) LOL. Hopefully all of you will get your docs very soon!!! I've started getting stuff together and throwing it on the bottom shelf of my walk in closet. Soon I won't be able to walk in there! LOL The countdown riddle is that pic of Mt. Rushmore and you try to figure out how it pertains to the time left on the cruise. Hope that sounded right!

Jason--the riddle..the only thing I can think of is there are 4 presidents and 4 weeks til we board the boat (or that was about the time when you posted that pic) if not I have NO idea! I'm stumped!

Conny--I think we will be ok..if not I'll throw my "temper" into full force (hey my grandparents were German...I can get mad quick) and see what happens. I'm sure it's fine but if not then they'll have to upgrade me to the GF Concierge! ROFLMAO! I'm having nightmares as well about things! I've left all kinds of stuff home including my family...aaaahhhh somedays I wonder why my brain has to think like that!!! Only 22 days for us after today...wow...amazing we are almost into the teen digits! I would think 50 would be enough but if not I have a ton of Aloe Vera and some SPF 45, 30, 15, 8, 4 and no spf! LOL You can always borrow! As for the spray on tanning I don't know where you can do it in Florida. Most of the places around here that do it are either Tanning Salons or higher end spa's. I know how you feel if you come home from somewhere tropical and you are still white! Happens to me all the time!!! I hate that I don't tan very well if at all!! I'm sure you can sit on deck 9 at a table and be in the shade but in the action. LOL about Silke being a hobbit and a fan of LOTR! I can't get into that for some reason but I do love Harry Potter! I can't wait to meet everyone...it's getting SO exciting!

Lisa I have no idea if they pass or not. I read on the boards something about they pass but I'm not sure when or where...sorry!!!

Silke--LOL about drink's and 6 meals a day! That's why I am starving myself now so I can eat all those meals! haha!! My picture I sent in is old as well and I probably look like a hobbit now as well...but oh well...we can all be hobbits and get drunk together!

I'm off to continue my packing list!

Well, non-vacation Mondays are usually not much fun for me either Heidi but the great thing about this Monday is that it means we have one less weekend between now and our cruise!!!

Close on the riddle. I was actually aiming for the 26 days left until our cruise being represented by Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President. However, the 4 presidents and 4 weeks works out just as well!

Silke--

Glad to see that I'll be sailing with another LOTR fan!!! I read the books when I was little but had to re-buy the book when the movies came out. I also bought the DVDs. They did such an amazing job on capturing the essence of the story and the special effects of the movies are outstanding. We'll have to talk more on the Magic!


Lisa--

Happy to hear that you're enjoying the thread! Heidi summed up the Disney Magic May 1st Cruise Daily Countdown Riddle quite well. Feel free to join in and post a riddle if you have one.

 

[abjennings]

Hi All,
Well I spoke to my TA today and I finally have a room assignment. I didn't get an upgrade but who cares. I'M GOING ON A DISNEY CRUISE!!! I will be in cabin # 6004, which I know nothing about but who cares. I'M GOING ON A DISNEY CRUISE!!
Now I am just patiently waiting for my cruise documents. If anyone has info on that room let me know. I will post again later but don't think I am not thinking about you. Can't wait,...Allison
PS Jason, You really need to talk to Travis about the lies he has been telling. It is so obvious in that current pic of the 2 of you. He must have been drinking Konk Koolers in Pleasure Island.

 

[hydster]

Allison--WOOOHOOOO congrats on at least finding out your cabin number! Guess what...YOU ARE ONLY 10 CABINS AWAY FROM US!!!!!!!! WATCH OUT FELLOW PASSENGERS ON THE 6TH DECK!

Love your attitude about just being on the cruise!!! You KNOW we are going to have a blast no matter where our cabins are!!!!!

We leave in 3 weeks..holy crap....I have so much to do and SO little time! (I wish I had less time actually as today has seemed to take for flipping EVER to get to 5 pm)

LOL about Travis drinking Konk Koolers..it is either that or the Guavaberry Colada's...

ONLY 26 days til Saturday when we are on board!! ONLY 26 more days!


Jason---I know what you mean...this saturday means only 3 weeks until we sail! Who would have thought 215 days ago that we'd EVER get to this point????? OH I didnt even think about Roosevelt...stupid me! OH well it was fun trying to figure it out!

Off to make BBQ Chicken for dinner, then Yoga, fear factor, and whatever else pops up!
Heidi

 

[ThreeCircles]

You know, Allison is right about the pic. That's what happens if you have too many Konk Koolers in one sitting! Travis learned the hard way!

Glad to hear that you got your cabin assigned. We too are on Deck 6! (First time on Deck 6, actually!) We're more midship but now I wonder if we'll be able to get any sleep with Heidi on the same deck!?!?!? I can just picture her running up and down the halls at 3 AM with a Konk Kooler in one hand and a Gin and Tonic in the other.

Hi Folks!

I am on the April 24th 7 day western cruise. I have made a big, laminated Dis meet banner that I thought would be fun to hand off to the next Dis crew going on board.

What do you think? I know we leave the boat before they let ya'll into the port so I don't know how the hand off would work, just thought it would be fun for others to use and not have to pack.

Let me know if your interested!

Tandy

 

[goofyguy1958]

Hi Jason,

My name is Katie, I am Goofyguy1958's DD and I will be on the Magic the week after you. Can you say hi to Mickey for me and my brother Michael and tell him and his friends that we will be with him the next week? Please and thank you.

Hello Katie--

I'd be more than happy to say hi to Mickey and the gang for you! I'll be sure to let them know that you and Michael and your Mom and Dad are all looking forward to seeing them and that you'll be on right after us. That way, they'll have the ship in top shape for you guys!

P.S.: Tell your Dad congrats on getting the docs! We heard his excitement all the way over on the May 1st Thread!

Tandy--

What a cool idea!

I'm wondering if your Dis group could take a Sharpie fine point marker and sign the banner with their screen names and/or real names. Then, our group could do the same and hand it off to Goofyguy1958's group!

We could see how long this could go and how many Dis members sign it!

I'm betting that if you left it at Guest Services with one of our group members names they would hold it for us.

How cool!

 

[goofyguy1958]

I would be more than happy to keep the conection and accept the banner on behalf of the May 8th Western cruisers. I think this could be the start of a whole new wor -- oops that's another movie -- tradition. LET'S DO IT!!!!

 

[goofyguy1958]

Jason,

It's me again, Katie. Oh and I forgot -- Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger,Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, BadgerBadger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger,.Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger,.......................................................

Well, I'll be getting loaded up on Martinis while the LOTR is discussed.... I sure hope there is a James Bond 007 fan somewhere on this thread I can talk to... So please come forward if you are out there.

Howdy Fellow Cruisers -

I'm taking a break from making the iron ons for my DD's pillowcases for the cruise. I tried this yesterday, but dumb me printed the transfers off and forgot to check mirror image. So another trip to Walmart for more paper and I'm set. If anyone wants a pillowcase let me know, I have one extra and would be glad to bring it along. Even my 14 yo DD is excited about doing this.

Yesterday we made swimsuit coverups (large t-shirts) with a picture of the Magic along with several Disney characters.

We also went to see Disney on Ice - Mickey and Minnie's Gamical Vacation. Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald and Daisy all came out in their tropical outfits - boy talk about getting me in the cruising mood. Now if only they sold Konk Koolers at the show I would have been set

To all you list makers - my name is Tammy and I'm a list maker too. My packing list is 4 pages long, but 2 of them are for clothing and I have a list for each person. That wat the week before I cut them apart, hand them to each person and they gather the items listed. I then review the list as I pack everything into the suitcases.

My extra list is already completed and packed along with the toiletries case ready to go.

Heidi - glad to hear you survived the wind storm - good luck with your POR reservations. The only thing I'm worried about is our limo not coming to pick us up on Saturday morning. Guess all I can do is to confirm the day before. Shh, don't tell my girls about the limo - they think we are driving the rental car to the port

Tandy - way cool about the banner - hopefully you'll be able to work out the swap.

CM-Mom - any word from DD about the cruise

Take care everyone!

Tammy

Threecircles-

I love the sharpie idea. We will all sign it and leave it at guest services. I will try to have someone take a pix that we can post when we return Let's don't take about returning yet ok?

Guess what. We got upgraded today!!!!!

If we weren't exctied before (yah right) we are now!

We'll get the ship ready for all you May cruisers, deal?

Tandy

 

[Boatingman]

OK....This is getting freaky. I too(along with DH, DS and DD are on deck 6. I believe 6060 port side near the elevators. How many of us does that make on 6?

-Kathy

 

[Alice Sr.]

Thanks Tandy what a great idea. You too Jason with the e-mail/signature idea. It's so cool we have goofyguy1958 all set for the following week.

Tandy - so you already had a room assignment and they notified you of an upgrade? Or did you just get your doc's? Did you by chance use points for your cruise?

Allison LOL I totally did not get it. I was thinking of the picture of Jason and Travis on our cruise web page and I was like whoa big dis and then I scrolled down and caught the other picture and anyway I am still laughing.

Katie way to badger Jason keep up the good work.

We have good news we get to keep the things we bought on Saturday and Sunday (except for maybe the dress that Linds bought that makes her look like she's got a JLo bootie goin on) I'm pretty sure we don't have enough money for that one .
The tax fairy was very good to me (because I paid the tax troll extra money all year long)

Oh my the 6th floor is going to be rocking

Well keep up the good work and thanks for the laughs.

I have had my docs for quite a while now. Got a call from Costco today, the TA said Disney had called them and that I had been upgraded to a Cat 8 from my Cat 11! Can you belive it!! I can't! My first cruise and an upgrade! So cool? Love it!

Ok I'm done now! Just a little excited about this cruise in less than 3 wks and now an upgrade too. Boo-yah!!!!!

Tandy
