Disney Magic Back in LA 2008

[Disneyphile]

Oh bite me.I would, but you'd like it too much. :p

Holy crap... in exactly 17 days from this moment, we'll be boarding! :D

Oh, and Cherny - did you want to join in on the group brunch at Palo? I need to call back with the names of everyone participating.

[cirquelover]

The really cool people. :p

;)

I was cool for a little while but alas I'm back to just Jill, no cool, Le Sigh.

[Disneyphile]

I was cool for a little while but alas I'm back to just Jill, no cool, Le Sigh.'Twas a joke, that's all. I wish everyone on this board were going. And, I still hold to my idea that should I win the lotto or come into a nice windfall of money, I'm buying the whole ship out for all of us for a week. :D

Yes please! :) Many thanks!

[Moonliner]

'should I win the lotto or come into a nice windfall of money, I'm buying the whole ship out for all of us for a week. :D

Now that would be a sinking not to me missed. :D

[BarTopDancer]

That software release that was preventing me from going to begin with has been pushed back. I'd probably still be hard pressed to get the time off. But Grr just the same.

[innerSpaceman]

Sigh, I could never get 17 days in a row off work.


Mucho Fun to all the Finalists who are really going on this seabourne adventure-of-a-lifetime!!

[Disneyphile]

[Nephythys]

I would, but you'd like it too much. :p


Bring it on!:p

[BarTopDancer]

Can I smack your boss? :(

Nah, it's not his fault. I'm not sure I would have been able to get 2 weeks worth of coverage either (someone would have to fly out here and that would cost the company $$ in airfare, hotel bills and food).

[Moonliner]

Bring it on!:p

And get video if possible.

[Kevy Baby]

Sigh, I could never get 17 days in a row off work.Well, you could. You just wouldn't have a job when you got back (my issue as well).

[cirquelover]

I'm just bummed we had to cancel, not only sailing with cool friends but we had a good cabin to boot. Ah well, I still have hopes for a future cruise and maybe it'll be a LoT cruise to boot!

Have a great time. I can't wait to see the pics and hear the stories! At least I can live vicariously through all of my wonderful friends adventures on board!

[Not Afraid]

I'm bummed we're not going, but with the way Chris' work schedule is going, it wasn't going to happen. We're just lucky he got the Coachella time approved before the freeze. This is the last vacation for a while (for him at least. ;)0

[Disneyphile]

It also would have been fun to have Thurston join us as an "official" service dog. ;)

[Morrigoon]

I'm bummed. Period.

But excited for those of you who still get to go!

[figment1986]

We're bringing the ship to Los Angeles. So, technically, this is a one-way trip. ;)

for most of you it is one-way...

at least I got DLR for a few days and a nice plane ride home... and DLR has faster internet than home so easier to upload the 6+ gigs of photos to smugmug...

[Moonliner]

A hearty Bon voyage to all you Swankers heading out for your cruise!

May the seas be clam and the rum plentiful.

[BDBopper]

Bon Voyage! (Throws confetti) To all who are sailing please enjoy a tall fruity drink with an umbrella in it for me. Strike that...have two! :) :cheers:

I like LOVE the idea of an LoT cruise...as long as I can go. Anyone willing to sponsor me?

[Disneyphile]

The rum won't be plentiful after I get to it. ;)

[figment1986]

The rum won't be plentiful after I get to it. ;)

that just means I need to get to the bar and get a drink of the day before you buy all of them ;)

[katiesue]

Hope you all have a wonderful time!

[Disneyphile]

Well, I'm mostly packed... I think I'm going to need the vacation just to recover from that!

Left to do:


Finish dress repairs
Pedicure/Manicure
Print door decorations
Print Mom memorial t-shirts for me and Dad
Print boarding passes
Print/sign cruise contract
Deliver make-up goodies to NA and GusGus
Pack box of NAB goodies for mailing to BDBopper


It's gonna be a FULL day tomorrow! :eek:

Have a great time - and don't let anyone nor anything ruin your fun.

I wish they had 3-days from LA, I've never cruised and want to start out with a short one, without flying across the country.

Please by all means don't feel you have to get those boxed up and sent before you go tomorrow. It appears you have bigger fish to fry. I don't want to be responsibile for you leaving something important behind or being late for any reason. You deserve a nice and stress-free vacation, especially after the events of the past few months. If you need to scratch off siomething off the To-Do list please scratch me off it first. I understand completely.

[Chernabog]

I'm done! I'm packed! I got 5 hours of sleep last night and now I'm up at 6:30 a.m. (biological clock, grumble, grumble).. time to hop in the shower, get to work... and at 9:30 my airport van picks me up. My actual alarm is set for an hour from now but I'm too frickin excited. My last real vacation was in October 2006 so I'm BOUNCING!!! See you all when I get back on the 25th!

[Nephythys]

I am insanely jealous- but then I realize that had I joined you all on this trip would not have had my March trip and my perfect wedding and also would likely not have my November mountain get-away either.

So I'm ok.

Bon Voyage- ya'll stay safe!

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Have SO MUCH FUN!

[Snowflake]

Cherny!
It's an understatement, but HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME!

BONest of BON Voyages!

[Kevy Baby]

I wonder if it is too late to get a ticket?

[BarTopDancer]

Have a great time everyone!

[Disneyphile]

I have successfully packed two weeks of stuff into just two suitcases, without the need to vacuum-pack, nor will I need to do laundry.

I rule! :D

(Actually, I've just done this before, so I know what not to bring. ;) )

[cirquelover]

Have a great time everyone, Bon Voyage!

Go Teresa! Go Teresa! Woot Woot! Woot Woot! :D

But do you have room for souvenirs? I bet you'll come home with more than what you left with.

[Not Afraid]

Have a FANTASTIC time! I'm still very sad I won't be joining you, but I can't wait for pictures.

[Morrigoon]

Have fun!

[wolfy999]

Finally started packing 1 suitcase & 1 carry on....I should have more than enough to make it through, but just in case I'm packing laundry soap for 2 loads.

nice... too bad my professor stiffed me... He got me nothing, even when i covered 2 classes in his absence... lol

Go Teresa! Go Teresa! Woot Woot! Woot Woot! :D

But do you have room for souvenirs? I bet you'll come home with more than what you left with.

She has an advantage... she's flying to orlando and boating back... I am boating to la then flying back... thus im making sure all my clothes fit into my BIG suitcase well, and my small one can be empty ;) that way I can bring enough Disneyland and Disney Magic back.

[Disneyphile]

Pre-trip freakout!!!

Looks like I'll now have to print iron-ons for our memorial shirts.
And, I still have to finish my dress repairs and pack my make-up.

GAH!!!

[Gn2Dlnd]

I'm going to miss my roommate. I don't think that's ever happened before.

Bone voyagee! :D

[Disneyphile]

I'm so grabbing booze the minute I board. ;)

[innerSpaceman]

My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean My Bonnie Lies Over the Sea. My Bonniest of Bon Voyages to you. Have a wonderfulsome adventure and may the winds be at your back.

Some of us are finding nice ways of getting it free... well free for us ;) Love how dad has to do work on the boat... and check his mail daily.

hmm.. hopefully i board before you, and can get away from my grandmother for a little bit.

[Kevy Baby]

memorial shirts?Her mother passed away a couple of months ago and was scheduled to be on the cruise.

oh yea... it slipped my mind from the finals and grades. :(

[libraryvixen]

Bon Voyage T!! :D

[Moonliner]

Intesting...

I went looking to see if the Disney cruise ships have webcams like some other lines do. They don't.

But my search turned up this (http://home.cfl.rr.com/scanner/cruise.htm) website which lists all the communication frequencies used on the ship. Just in case you want to listen in on what the laundry room is doing...

[Disneyphile]

Hi all. Can't spend time reading right now, but just sent Ken another photo and email update, so I hope he posts it somewhere.
