Where's PANGO

Instead of where is Waldo, I think we need a Where's Pango!!!

This is actually a game we could play on the ship, "HEY MONKEYBOY GET ME A DRINK DAMNIT, AND HEY WHERE'S PANGO".

:cool3:

He just left our house and is going home to log on, he said " I don't have anything witty to say" and I said "Don't worry about it I post all the time".

BTW, I had Mrs. Pango's Bra on my head that night too, and I found a smilie that looks like me slinging it :happy2: :happy2: :happy2:

I think I could give Heidi a sling for her money.

Alright Tommy boy, couldnt' let those pictures stand alone. I got your back, buddy.

Me and my good friend Jose... and mini-me doing the pouring

And if this doesn't say "MY WIFE CAN OUTDRINK YOURS" I will need another shot

Hey, she called me out on the speeding ticket, I couldn't resist.

Can PANGO and his wife drink like pirates???

I think I'm going to have to post SEVERAL replies cause I'm too old to read 4 pages and keep what I want to say in my head. This thread exploded while I was at work today.

Both Jens, no sweat about the clubs and the kids with you on excursions. Just be sure to tell the CMs what time you expect to be back and what excursion you'll be on. That lets them set the kids expectations correctly if they ask about you.

Don't sweat the potty stuff. Since Robyn is a CM in the Club, I read all the threads about kids and the clubs. Some of the folks posting are wierd as Heidi says. They have to document like crazy before they can take any action about kids not being potty trained so it would be the chronic wetters that they weed out...you know the ones that really haven't EVER been potty trained and their parents are just too selfish to face reality. And none of us are that blind. They understand that accidents happen and they'll just page the parents to come bring clean clothes. Remember that THEIR job is to help the KIDS have a MAGICAL time. And they're really good at it.

About the excursions. If the kids have some daycare or preschool or Sunday school experience, they won't come unglued if they spend several hours our of your presence as long as they're safe and well cared for. And I can assure you that although Robyn won't be in the club on our cruise - she'll be a guest like the rest of us - the other CMs love kids just as much as she does and they'll take great care of the little ones.

Enough soapbox. I just hate to see folks getting upset and worried because some other posters post stuff that's not exactly true. Messes up your enjoyment of the planning for your cruise.

Lisa..AWESOME that you are now packed and ready to go as well. We unfortunately don't hit Orlando until 10 pm on Wed night so no park for us til Thursday but I'm SO looking forward to it!! Can't wait to meet up at POR on Friday night and then at the ship on Saturday!!!

Reine--You are so correct on your whole post! I think people just love to nit pick things apart!!!

Ok...and now Monkey boy is going to PAY big time for posting THAT pic! I guess I should be glad it wasn't me in my "thong" at Cancun but he is still going to pay dearly!!


Heidi

 

[Pango]

Hi, to all..... I think.... I hope...




This is going to be the First Cruise So, Be Nice to Pango.

I guess Tom has told everyone about us.

My wife's name is Laura and we have an 8 yr old daughter, Madelyn.

We do like to have a few Drink's now and then but, everyone wants to hang out with Tom & Julie.

...And Yes I am a Pirate... 200 years to late.....

If you know what I mean....

 

[hannahandkatesmommy]

Heidi-that picture of you(and Ryan for that matter) looks nothing like your family picture. Which Heidi should we be looking for? Nevermind-the bars aren't that big I hope I don't chicken out on the meet, this all seems a little surreal...

Anway, since I am going on a cruise on Saturday I decided to have a light evening snack while reading my boards. Light in the sense that it weighed slightly less than my youngest daughter... I had an entire Panera turkey bacon sandwich(only 1000 cal. and about 40 grams of fat) and a gigantic piece of the costco cake we got for Kate's party. WHAT WAS I THINKING????? BTW- did I mention we went to Wendy's for dinner? I must be in some sort of vacation denial....

 

[Belle&RellasMom]

Woo Hoo Pango...you did it!!!

Congratulations!

P.S. Nice Buffett reference!!!

 

[monkeyboysmith]

PANGO!!!!! Welcome aboard the Margaritaville express. All fans of Jimmy are friends of mine.

Ran into a chum with a bottle fo rum and we wound up drinking all night.

 

[hydster]

Welcome Pango---DO WE HAVE ANOTHER PARROT HEAD IN OUR MIDST?????? You have to love the parrot heads!! And we will be nice since it is your first cruise but don't expect us to not expect the Mrs. bra back on Tom's head again at some point!!! ANyway welcome welcome welcome!

Philly Jen--Well the picture on the 3 circles website is me being sweet and demure...the picture with Ryan is me being the Drinking Pirate's Personal Wench! AWWW Come on DON'T chicken out! We wont bite ......

H~A~R~D!! (You know from Austin Powers) You know you want to come and party with us now that you know us....I can guarantee you that we are NO different in person than on these boards...it's just you'll be able to slug people in person

Oh my god you and your dinner and dessert almost made me pee myself on my computer chair!!! I was so good today for the most part and then I blew it with some Turtles! LOL Oh well..gotta go get my Yoga on anyway!!! We'll be the ones yelling Drink Mother Drink Mother Drink Mother Drink in the bars......And Ryan doesnt look like he did on the website picture either because we were in Cancun and he was imitating the Mexican's surrounding us!

Have a nice evening....it's time to Yoga and then watch the Restaurant!

Hello Pango!

(Notice the margarita green color!)


Julie--

Hopefully no rain! I'll keep my fingers crossed.


Lisa and everyone is getting ready to leave! I don't like it! It's going to be me and Alice holding down the thread here all by our lonesomes. Hmmm... Maybe we can still rouse some of the thread members that have become lurkers of late!

 

[hydster]

Jason--I'll call you from Disneyworld and harrass you anytime you want before Saturday! I won't be on the computer but I will be with you all in spirit!!!

Only 1 1/2 days until we leave...I'm getting very anxious about the flight..I HATE TO FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok...time to watch the restaurant now...this board is just way to close and tempting!

 

[CM_Mom]

Amber, wonderful cake. I wish I could have a cake like that for my birthday but we'll be at WDW so I'll just enjoy the trip.

JenLyn, the scrapbook page is great. I'm doing good if I have all the pictures in the same box!

Julie, welcome to the group. You kind of just have to jump right in but we're a very welcoming group. What part of God's country (otherwise known as Texas) are you from. In case you haven't figured it out, I'm a native Texan. We used to say that you should never ask anyone where they were from. If they were from Texas they would tell you. If they weren't you don't want to embarrass them. From anywhere in Texas to Jacksonville is a quite a haul.... you folks have a safe trip.

Joe, too hilarious about using the jetted tub as a kiddo washing machine. But you may be right, you may have started something dangerous. But on the other hand, you can use a bath in Mommy and Daddy's tub as a reward for exceptional behavior or something.

Well I started this post an hour ago and then got interrupted. with a nice surprise.

Robyn called from the ship. Someone had given her a "left over" ship to shore card and she found out she had more minutes that she thought so she gave me a call. She had just gotten her new contract and knew I'd want to know all about it. Had a nice visit. I do enjoy talking to my DD so this was a nice treat.

I'm gonna post this and then read the rest of the thread and post again.

Reine

 

[Pango]

Thank's to all.

See you all there!!

 

[CM_Mom]

Welcome Pango, Just so you know, there are a few of us that are just fun, but not wild and crazy. I think DD's favorite hangout is Cove Cafe. She's a Starbucks addict and the Cove Cafe is the closest thing on board.

Glad everyone's getting packed. I think I have everything clean but it's not in any bags yet. Oh well I still have two nights. Have a ministry I participate in tomorrow night so no packing. That leaves Wednesday and Thursday. I won't sleep worth a flip on Thursday night without Benedryl and Valium (sometimes I wish I had developed a taste for Alcohol) so if I'm up late packing that's OK.

Jason, I'll be here till the bitter end since our flight doesn't leave till 9:07 on Friday night. I'll probably shut down the computer at 4:30 or 5:00 on Friday.

What a group. Glad to welcome all the new posters. If everyone shows up for the DisMeet we'll have 23 or more families. By my quick count that's between 85 and a hundred folks.

Woo hoo

Look at that counter go---down to less than 4

 

[JenLynn]

So Excited!
So Excited!
So Excited!
So Excited!
So Excited!

Is it time to leave yet? My panic is slowly drifting away and giving way to excitement!!! And believe it or not, i am also already a little sad about the having to disembark thing! Can't they just let me stay on board for an extra week or two (or three?)

We are leaving on Friday Jason, so we will probably log-off Friday afternoon at about 12noon (eastern time). Til then we'll be here.

Welcome to the group Pango!

And thanks everyone for your congrats on my scrapbooking prize .. i was just so excited!!

Well, it is late here on the east coast and i have a few more errands to run tomorrow morning while Madalyn is in school (need to get pillow cases for the characters to sign).

And please, please, please, please tell me that the R word hasn't been mentioned ... it is going to be warm and sunny ... right? Jason? Heidi? Julie? Please, someone tell me we are going to have warm beautiful weather!

Have a safe trip Lisa!

Talk to ya'll tomorrow!!

I am from a little town called Groves. It is about 90 miles east of Houston. Any further east and we would be part of Louisiana, and any further south we would be part of the Gulf of Mexico. I can't believe it is countdown time. I actually started packing! It makes it seem that much more real.

Welcome Pango, now I am not the newbie anymore.

The only "R" words I am going to claim are REST and RELAX!! I keep telling my kids that I am going to check them in on the 5th floor on Saturday and check them out again next Saturday.

Can't wait to meet everyone on Saturday AT THE POOL!!!


Julie B

 

[CM_Mom]

Good Grief, It's Morning.

Anyway, woke up in the middle of the night so figured I'd check the thread to give my internal thermostat time to reset.

JenL, it's not widely publicized (a Magical surprise) but they give your kids a pillowcase if they attend Pluto's Pajama Party in the Club. I'd probably go ahead and get my own pillow cases just to be on the safe side but thought you might want to know in case your day becomes unreasonable busy.

JulieB, at least being almost in Louisiana means you have less of Texas to cross on your way to Orlando. Just imagine the drive if you were coming from El Paso On the other hand, maybe you don't want to even think about THAT drive.

OK, I'm cool now so guess I'll get back to bed. Trying to get as much sleep as possible early in the week cause I know that Thursday night will be next to impossible
I'LL BE TOO EXCITED
I'LL BE TOO EXCITED
I'LL BE TOO EXCITED

Good Morning Fellow Cruisers,

Three days from now we'll be sitting at the airport!!

Welcome aboard Pango and Julie B - this is quite a crazy bunch, but as Reine said were not all that wild. I'm hoping I have enough nerve to attend the DIS meet as well, my DH and I are the quiet ones, will more than likely sit back and take in all the excitement.

Got up early this morning to try and finish the wash, so we can finish packing tonight. One last trip to Walmart this evening for things that I forgot and we should be set. I don't know how I am goping to make it through the next 3 days of work. I work 5 hours a day and yesterday was pure torture.

We are leaving Thursday night to drive to the airport, so I'll be here all day Thursday, bit I imagine it will be quiet.

Amber - love the cake!

Happy Packing!

Tammy

Morning all! Ok- my "snack" last night made me gain 2 lbs.....I am afraid to step on the scale but I can't bend my fingers so I am taking that as a bad sign.

Busy Busy day today. Golfing with my old boss at 11 My husband(and everyone else who knows me) joke about my work habits. The song 9-5 came on the radio the other day(I know right? Like 20 years later). My hubby laughed and said they need to rewrite the song to suit my work schedule "working 10-12, what a way to make a living....."

Another stupid question....I know, no stupid questions just stupid people!!! Anway, I started to fill out my documents last night and wasn't sure how I should handle the kids. Should I fill them out as though it was my name on the document book? I've read on these threads that they need to be completely filled out or else.......

Went tanning yesterday, only my third time but it is tough to fit it in with all the shopping etc... I have been doing lately. It looks like my nose was the only thing in the booth. How does that happen? I guess next time I should wear some sunscreen on my nose. So if there is any question who the Philly Jen family is, just look for Rudolph and my girls. I suppose I should post a picture in case we chicken out, one of you guys can drag us to the meet.

It sounds like we are getting to the port pretty early, I bet we will even meet before 3:30.


Never mind-can't figure it out. The girls will have matching bright pink dresses on...I will be the crazy mom screaming at Kate with a drink in my hand.....

Now I have to go find my golf clubs(not an avid golfer but I'll do anything to get out of working for a day.) And yes, Pirates.....sometimes anything really means "anything".......Kidding! Just thought I'd throw that in to spice up my post this am....

Ohhh- for the martini drinkers out there, I just bought the best pair of seersucker pants- with embroidered Martinis on them, complete with the olive! Can't wait to wear them. Maybe I should wear those on saturday so I can be "found".

Have a great day everyone.
Philly Jen
