[luvdamouse91]

T-Shirts arrived today. Thanks for the heads up about the surprise in the box, ours was tucked under the flap on the bottom and we would have missed out. Thanks again to Sue, Todd & Helen!

Ok, So I hope that I'm doing this right! I am VERY new to the DISboards, meaning I just stumbled upon them two days ago! So please bear with me as I get used to this whole thing!

I was so pleased to see that there are going to be so many fun ppl on this trip! As you can see by my signature, I am somewhat green to Disney, at least when it comes to the likes of some of you!! (I'm impressed and somewhat jealous of all your fabulous vacations!)

Myself and my boyfriend LOVE Disney and are wanting to make Disney a part of our vacation plan every year!! We live in CA, which is why most of our trips have been to DL (still getting used to all the abbreviations) so many times...well so many times in the short time we have been together. We have been dating about 2 1/2 years, are madly in love and pretty much booked this trip at the very begining of our relationship! Kinda risky, but we knew we were going to be together! We would love to get marreid abourd a disney ship(we actually met on a cruise ship, so cruises are special to us) So hopefully that dream will come true some day!

We just can't believe that the trip is almost here! We are SOOO excited it takes up most of our conversations!

We will be traveling with his parents on this trip, and ALL four of us are sharing a room(should be interesting, lol). We origanally planned to have his sister, her husband and there two children along with us....until she found out she was pregnant. And it turned out that she didn't meet DCL restrictions for pregnant women (24 weeks) by FOUR DAYS...so they ended up booking a med. cruise that leaves next week, she is well within the "safe zone" for that trip. So it will just be the four of us...together...for a total of 21 days straight...bonding...

We are headed to Barcelona 5 days early to see as much as we possibly can, and then when back in Florida we are going for ONE DAY to Disneyworld...I have never been, and we are still deciding on which land to go to, so any suggestions would be great!

Long story long, I am so happy to have found y'all and I hope its not too late to sign up for some of the fun stuff you guys are doing...and if it is, well, we can still have a coctail on the ship!

Cheers!!

Welcome aboard!! Too bad about you SIL but I am sure you are going to have a great time. We are Noel and John and this is our 4th DCL cruise.

Check page one for lots of activities you can still sign up for. Click on the link: Page One There may be some things on page two as well.

Check out our website at www.transatlanticpirates.com where you can see your fellow cruisers and sign up for the roll call.

I am organizing a private tour in Madeira which is in post #5 of the link I sent you if you want more information.

Connie (Con5241) may have few more of the pins left. There also maybe a few lanyards left.

I am sure I am forgetting lots of things but other DISers will fill you in.

 

[su_kraft]

OK - replying a I go because I am like 20 pages behind!!! Stop, please... I need to catch up!!!

Canada, Wales, England, Scotland, Germany, New Zealand, USA, Australia, Netherlands, Mexico, Belgium!!!

Wow what an international bunch we are!!!

Gosh maybe I need to start a spreadsheet.



SW

Stats are on the main web page - www.transatlanticpirates.com We don't have the kids broken out - but the FE groups have all the kids participating broken out. Glenn can pull stats as well...

 

[MagicMe]

JluvsC - check out all the posts on pages 1 and 2 for the various activites we've planned as a group. It's not too late to join in practically everything (or nothing if you so desire). This is aside from the activities you'll find available on the cruise itself!

First - be sure to contact Erik about the lanyards. They are a group lanyard, they are free and there still may be some of the extras left but they'd like to finalize the list to start getting them together this weekend. Erik's disname (tig something - I always have to double check) is listed in the post on lanyards. You need ten posts to PM but if needed just post on the thread for now.

There is also a spread sheet to add your name for special DIS bracelets (again they are free to all).

The thread shirts are closed but you can print the logo and make your own if you can do that sort if thing.

There is still an FE group open if you wish to join.

On top if that we are organizing various alcohol tastings, a PJ breakfast, and a champagne girls event! Feel free to join us.

You will also find our cruise website link where you can add yourself to the roll call. It's alot but wanted to give you an idea of what's available as things are beginning to close as we lock everything in.

JUMP RIGHT IN!!!

 

[su_kraft]

OK - I am up to page 268...

Sorry - should have read farther before replying to this one...

Now why didn't I think of looking there !!!!

Seems Dubai, Denmark round off our list.

And there are a whole bunch of Canadians.

Sorry i didn't remember you all, It's just I think everyone on these boards lives inside my laptop



SW

Hey, I know we have a lot of plans for this cruise, but do we have anything planned to celebrate this day?

YEP!!! Glenn and I are celebrating 18 years or marriage!!! Everyone is invited to celebrate with us on the MAGIC!!!

Thanks Noel! I always have to check or else I end up transposing the numbers!!!

Thanks Noel! I always have to check or else I end up transposing the numbers!!!

I clipped it from the lanyard post so let us hope it's right.

Me doing Disney shopping, never! LOL!!!!

On a better note, I cashed in my $100 on Sunshine Rewards for a Disney Gift Card to take on the cruise! I love Sunshine Rewards - I've earned most of that money just taking surverys online. I do a little online shopping (where you can earn a percentage back) but it's mostly surverys.

Only 50 days now!

Another Sunshine Reward lover here. I've cashed in many dollars for Disney GC. I LOVE Tricia's site!

Cassaundra and BF. Where in CA do you live? I am also from CA. SoCal. By the time we board this whip, I will have 15 cruises under my belt. So if there is any help I can give you, just post on here. I don't think you can send a "PM" (private message) until you hit at least 10 posts so just start posting. And if they close the "thread" down, (the mods are way behind on this one) follow a link to part 8 or look on the front of DIS Meets for part 8. We are a fun and group so you are so among friends. Ask away and be sure to check out the first couple of pages of either this thread or part 8. And remember, just ask away. We are here to help.

Oh yeah, you will be spoiled. No more short cruises for you and DBF (Disney/Dear BF) as the long ones spoil short ones for you.

OK - skimmed forward to 275...

I still have not given Sue the information because I am waiting on some info from a few members - but maybe I will send her what I have and update later.
Krisann

Ill take an update whenever - just send the spreadsheet back!

ok all the talk about stats for the cruise - I set up a Google spreadsheet to track everything! I will slowly use the main site to transfer over info that is on the website (except for real names - just sticking with DISnames so it is not so big. If you would like to help in this project personally you can go and fill in your own information! It will take me days to do it myself but I will start doing it. If you think of something else besides what i have on there that we should be tracking - let me know and I will add it.

I took all the names from the website and/or the wristband sheet so if you are not on there add yourself to the bottom please! We have a total of 145 cabins listed!

to get to the sheet go to:

Krisann

OK - guys, what stats do you want? Glenn set up the website as a database. (what can I say, I amrried a delightful geek...) Anyway, everytime you go there a query runs and you get the most recent stats. Get us a list and Glenn can pull a query together so that any time someone joins, adds something, whatever, the stats on the home page will update.

Me doing Disney shopping, never! LOL!!!!



OK...I went in and added the information...I saved it so hopefully it got saved.

I didn't have much of a chance to read yesterday. I worked at the Disney Store in the morning and then in the early evening I had to go to the doctor to have an ingrown toenail that was infected and very painful. I was hoping that it would heal on it's own, but it wasn't meant to be. So I got there, and the doctor takes one look at it and says "we're going to have to numb it up to get that nail out oft here". OK...a shot in the toe is VERY painful - I've had them before.

I don't know what I was thinking - that it was going to take her longer to prepare the medicine than what it did, but when it came time for her to come with the needle (which I don't even remember seeing) I completely freaked out! I didn't hurt as much as I remembered, but it did hurt and then I was embarrassed for freaking out so much! Needless to say, the local didn't numb the part that was REALLY infected and sadly I felt it when she was taking it out. I have to go back and have the procedure to remove part of my nail again to help prevent this from happening - did I mention I already that this procedure done once?! Only me!

I had to wear a slipper home from my parent's house - on my bad foot was the flat slipper and on my other foot was my Sketcher Fit Flop which is about an inch off of the ground. It was quite funny watching me walk! LOL!

It's feeling better today, but I think I'm going to take something when I go in for that procedure. I had myself so worked up over the needle (well the pain) that I just freaked out. I'm usually not like that...I think my nerves just got the best of me.

On a better note, I cashed in my $100 on Sunshine Rewards for a Disney Gift Card to take on the cruise! I love Sunshine Rewards - I've earned most of that money just taking surverys online. I do a little online shopping (where you can earn a percentage back) but it's mostly surverys.

So sorry to hear about your toe. It sounds very painful. Hope it heals quickly. My daughter (Terapin's sister) bought new shoes from a specialist running show store and then ran for several days. The shoes didn't fit and she developed "black toe" a fairly common complaint according to the store. The nails that were banging into the front of the shoe got injured and turned black. The toes got very inflamed and sore. Luckily the store guaranteed the fit of the shoes so they gave her a bigger size. Unfortunately it is going to take about six months for those nails to heal. She says she realizes now she should have quit running when she first had pain but thought she would just tough it out. Lesson learned. Nothing worse than foot problems. Trudy

OK - I caught up, probably missed a TON of stuff, but it has been a hellacious week at work and it is only Wednesday... We are upgradeing a major client to a new software version and the conversions take over 60 hours. So it has been a series of LONG days and nights. Then, with Glenns help, I preparred fajitas for my old and current staff and other managers at this office - so about 26 people. Not to mention that I invited our departments VP and our company president to the team lunch and one other VP showed up... A good time was had by all! But do you have any idea how much meat you have to grill for 29 people??? We did 19 lgs of steak, chicken and shrimp and we didn't have too much left over!

Anyway - on to cruise planning... I am waiting for confirmation on the tastings - Nice to know that my email with all the requests was waiting for Dorothy! Now we need some pixie dust to get all the dates and times we requested.

For the Champagne Girls - I am more than happy to offer up our cat3 for this, and since I can't seem fo go 50 pages without volunteering Glenn to do something - he can whip in and take a group photo before he heads to beer and poker.... (wait for it... I am sure there is a sarcastic comment waiting to come out...)

TODD - I called and left you a VM - you can reach me on my cell at any time - that is the number I called from.

Has anyone asked via PM for a mod to close out this thread? If they see this - here is a link to part 8...

Thanks. I was able to enter my information with no problem. Trudy

 

[PrincessShmoo]

Your only starting now????

WEEEEELLLLLLLLL.....I've pretty much packed the same things for every cruise we've taken (all 2 of them) so there's not much thought there.

Of course, there is one corner in my bedroom when I've been stashing "other stuff" for this cruise that should probably be organized, soon.

 

[pjpoohbear]

I haven't even checked to see if the suitcase is empty from the last cruise yet, is this bad?

Cool! I added us and changed a typo to "Province". Thanks for doing this!


I'm sorry to hear about all the sore feet. I had my share of fuggly toes at camp last week. They can be really sore. Hope everyone finds relief soon.
Krisann

Krisann, I think I goofed when I signed up - I need 3 medium wristbands. Thanks for doing this.

Carolyn, (Terapin) I sent you a quick two PM's with questions about the Madeira tour.

 

[Candy Apple]

We have been in May and July. July obviously has the better weather (although May really wasn't bad). However, I highly recommend late June to early August (even though it's more expensive) because that's when the humpbacks do their "bubble net" fishing. It's an absolutely incredible sight to witness!

What "bubble net" fishing? Sounds interesting. Hope to see some next July. We go July 12-19.

I didn't have much of a chance to read yesterday. I worked at the Disney Store in the morning and then in the early evening I had to go to the doctor to have an ingrown toenail that was infected and very painful.

Hope the toe feels better soon. You need to be ship-shape in just a few short weeks!

What are Sunshine Rewards?
