Wild Turkeys and Dancing Banana Heads Cruise 11/25/06

[DutchsMommy]

Hello Everyone,

Havn't had a chance to post much lately - really busy at work and every time I try and get on the server is too busy - just it's time to increase the web capacity again. The DIS just keeps growing!

Hope all is well with everyone. Things are good here - looking forward to the weekend. DH and I are going away for Sat night - leaving DS with Stony's Unlce and Aunt. There is a car show in a city about 2 hrs away that DH's cars will be at and he's gotten us a B&B ressie for the Sat night so we'll be able to have a nice dinner and some quite time. I am looking forward to it as I havn't seen too much of him lately. He's starting up a new division of the company he is with and has been really busy with that and showing the cars.

Here is a link to the website if anyone is interested:

I havn't had a chance to think about the cruise too much lately - maybe a good thing as time is flying?? Does anyone know whether the trip has to be paid in full before you can book online for the Clubs, Excursions etc?? We still have a bit of a balance which I am hoping to pay off in the next month or so, but things have just been coming up and I havn't managed it yet. But I would like to book ressies online as soon as possible!

Kathy - I don't have any clues off the top - but I'll think about it. You might also want to check out the Passporter site - they have that Cpt Jack Sparrow 'hunt' every month in their e-newsletter and maybe there are some DCL clues in there??? Also, I bet this is the type of thread that the 'regular' DCL forum could provide tons of input - given the response to the DCL mystery before the Med was announced (wasn't that fun!! LOL) I think most of us LOVE putting this type of stuff together so I would post there as well.

Talk to everyone again soon!

You do have to have the cruise paid off before you can make any reservations. Unless you are doing Concierge or REAS, you can't make ressies until 90 days anyway (which you probably already know). But, I will say from what I have read on here before, if you are going through a TA, you may want to send the final payment in a couple of weeks early to ensure that it posts at DCL in time to do your ressies at the 90 day mark.

Have a great time at the B&B this weekend. DW and I need some time away as well because the work schedule has been hectic.

Hello All,
Happy Friday to you!! Sorry I haven't written in awhile but I have been busy with the new addition and many visitors stopping by to see him. DH and I were talking about the cruise the other night and was wondering about the weather in November?? Has anybody been on DC in November?? DH and I went in April 2004 and it was chilly and cold. I am thinking what to pack already!! I really want to go on the cruise and wish it was alot sooner.


P.S. I still didn't figure how to post a picture!! I am still trying
Talk to you soon,
Lynn

Happy Friday! The weekend is only a few hours away!

Bob: As a matter of fact, I DO have Tan-in-a-bottle, but I thought maybe ... just maybe ... the weather would cooperate for me! As for changing places, I've been in the southern heat on several occassions and it can be BRUTAL! So while I may "complain" (insert other word) about our weather, I know that you and Kathy are both trying to tolerate untolerable humidity! Sounds like a good weekend for a bike ride ... or maybe Lisa will let you ride in her car with the roof down!

Andy and Danielle: YEAH ! I'm so glad we convinced you to try KSC! Trust me, you will ALL love it!

Kathy: Bill and I will give it some thought to your scavenger hunt. He is the most creative person I know, but I'm sure, knowing us, we will have to do a bunch of editing before posting the results!! (we have a tendency to go off on different tangents, if you can believe that !)

Dutch: Cool website, cool stuff! But I don't understand your comment "I havn't had a chance to think about the cruise too much lately". What the heck are you talking about?! There are other things in life?!

Hello everyone,

Lynn, dont worry about the weather in November. At the port it is usually in the 70's and on the islands it is more like in the 80's, really nice. we have cruised many times in November and December and it was awesome. I am trying to be patient for the picture, but pretty quick I will be able to take my own

I will be looking forward to finding out what types of clues you guys can come up with for the hunt. I really do APPRECIATE your efforts. I have a few ideas scratched out, but I really could use a few more brains on this one.

I am staying in and relaxing this weekend. i am not feeling well and dr. said to rest. Just as well since it wil be too HOT to go out anyway. I have a terrible sinus infection, sore throat, ear ache and sore tongue and a few other nasty things .

Hope everyone has a great weekend, we are another week closer to the cruise

Kathy

PS
for those of you who dont know Dandy8 is my wife. We both work and dont have any time off together. So some time we will post back and forth to each other on the boards since we dont see each other awake to offen. I know it must seem weird to some people reading the boards wondering why we are posting back and forth to each other.

Hi Honey!!! I hope you are having a good day with the kids. Love you!

Hey Mutt, I gave you some RCCL feedback on the other board.

Happy Friday everyone!!!!! TGIF!!!!!! 1 more week closer to the cruise. We have DD's dance recital this weekend and the weather looks like it is going to cooperate with sunny & 70's. Have a great weekend!

Oh yeah, for all of you vegetable garden people...I'm attempting to grow tomatoes in pots on my deck. They are looking good but should I put any type of plant food on them? Someone told me coffee grounds....is this good?
I have a brown thumb.....I kill all plant life so any info is much appreciated!

Kathy: When we sailed on the 9/3/05 Magic, the DIS parents had a scavenger hunt and an ice cream party. All the DIS parents contributed stuff for the hunt. It was held on Monday around 9am in the Promenade Lounge. I'll check past posts to see if I can find out how it was done. If you can search for posts from Captaincrash, you'll find out about the hunt. As you can tell, Dave and I did not make it to the hunt.

Happy weekend everyone. Jan

Thanks Jan,
I appreciate your help.

Happy friday evening everyone. Well my day was busy...I had plans to hang around the house some and get some housework done, but that didnt happen. Had a eye doctor appt. this morning, then a hair appt. and after that I actually stopped in at work for 3 hours to help with the move and get my desk set up for next week. Then did some shopping at Target. So at this point I'm tired and ready to veg out in front of the tv for a while.

Enjoy your weekend everyone....

Happy Saturday everyone....seems like these boards get a lil slow during the weekends....I guess everyone else has a life....(wahhhh). Its so darn cool in ohio...it doesn't feel at all like summer. Its actually gonna be in the 40's tonight! Thats obscene and woos about having kittens over it. Eh....5+months and we get ONE nice warm weekend (keeping my paws crossed on that one, gang) . Last thanksgiving cruise was nice most days...but I must admit that the day we disembarked was chilly. Lampy can attest to that one....
Anyways...enjoy the weekend kids...

Kathy,

I have been having problems with the board today. It was very very slow and about 30 min ago i couldnt get on at all I thought the servers crashed. But its up and running now but its still slow. I had to try to post this message three times before it worked. I think its nothing you are doing i just think the board is over stressed right now.

Happy Saturday everyone.....I watched the Magic as it sailed away this afternoon. This was the first time I was able to get DH to watch it with me. Then I tried talking him into getting on these boards and start
chit-chatting with you. But he's not much of a typer ...so he said hello to all and looking forward to meeting everyone on the cruise...
Have a great weekend everyone one.

Denise & Wally

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hi Denise,
Tell Wally HI from us!!
My DH is the same way. He reads all the boards, trips reports etc... But has NO desire to post. He does like to come to the cruise meets and meet everyone, he just doesnt care to post.

Well today I can finally post. All day yesterday I couldnt get this site to let me post. Guess it wasnt me, it was them, thankgoodness!!!

We too watched the Magic pull out. DH got out of the pool just in time to see it at the 2 palms cam. He even pointed out approximately where our room will be

Have a great sunday everyone,
Kathy

 

[Dixielady908]

Good afternoon everyone.

Kathy: How are you feeling? Hoping your feeling better.

Just did some housework today and taking it easy the rest of the day.
I have tomorrow off, taking the dog to the vet for his yearly check up, and thats all I'm doing!!!! I have to rest up for tuesday. After 2 days off, and no one know's how to do my job, I always have a stack of work to do. Two days off equal 1 week to catch up.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Denise

 

[TIGGER41681]

Good Afternoon Everybody,
Thanks for the info on the weather. Hope everybody had a great weekend. We took my DS for his 1st pictures at Picture People. For 5 weeks he was great and we got 4 really nice pictures. It has been so windy and chilly here in NY this weekend. DH is counting down till we go on the cruise.
Talk to everybody soon !!
Lynn

 

[TIGGER41681]

Hello Everybody,
DH and I were talking last night about the shows on the ship. Does anybody know the show schedule because we wanted to book Palo's and Flounder's for our little one? I want to book it on a night that really does not have exciting or that we saw on previous cruises. Thanks
Lynn

HOORAY!!!!

We are finally getting rain to put out all the brush fires around here. Our area is suppose to get 2 to 4 inches in the next 36 hours. That would really be great, just hope the lightning doesnt start too many new fires. Hopefully it will put out the four corners fire. The smoke from it has gone over the Animal Kingdom over the weekend and caused a lot of problems for people and animals alike!!
I hope to feel good enough to go out and get some things to make my door signs soon. I need to get things started around here for the cruise. I am falling behind on these things. Time to get on the ball!!

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Lynn I am sorry I dont know the show schedule, but you might want to post on the general forum page, someone who just got back may answer for you or if you read trip reports sometimes you can post a question to the person who wrote it and maybe they will have their Navigators still and could help you.
I'm sure a few people would like to know that info too.

Wendy,
Glad you made it back safely and I hope it was a great weekend for you!!

Happy Monday everyone!!!!
