8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC

Welcome! This is the latest incarnation for the Captain Jack's Repossession Repositioning Cruise to Port Canaveral thru The Panama Canal. This thread is largely impossible to keep up with, even for the most active poster. However, its a lot of fun with a great group of people, so jump in and say hi, even if you can't sit here reading 24/7.

In order to keep all of the relevant information in some sort of order, we have a Website that has a lot of good information on ports, packing, etc. There is a really good "virtual cruise" that takes you day by day through the cruise, a must see and guaranteed to get you even more excited for the cruise. While you are there, sign up for our mailing list using the webmaster link on the main page.

Most important information posted on this thread is cut/paste by the good people here and placed on our planning boards. This is also the place to go to sign up for any of the events you are interested, ask questions where you don't have to search through 1,000 posts to find the answer, etc.

So fasten your seat belt, keep your hands and head inside the car at all times and have fun.....

We also chat ever Friday night. If the DIS chat link above doesn't work, we will be found here

THE PLANS​

Some thoughts and plans for the cruise... (summarized on our website)

Pre Cruise Events​

Official T-Shirts
The suggestion is to wear black for embarkation and white through the Panama Canal.

Pirates Wristbands – Mail order in May or June
Click for more info.

Mini Pirate Cruise Journals Task Force PM sk8ingmom to participate
We are taking a group approach to creating journals for the kids. There will be a double page spread for each day with a few activities (word search, solve a puzzle, find the answer to a question type of thing) related to where we were that day (examples from prior cruises: look for 6-toed cats in Key West, learn a few Spanish words in Costa Maya, etc.). On sea days, there will be some on-board things to do (how many steps is our room from the kids club, go down the Mickey slide at least 5x, how fast is the ship going right now). Creating the pages requires a little bit of kid-level research about each of the ports and and some creatve brain time making up activities. If we have enough interested parents, each person could volunteer to 'research' a port and come up with a few kid-level facts, questions, activities. Sk8ingmom would be happy to create the page layouts and .pdfs for people to download and print pre-cruise. Any takers? More details on Planning Boards

Saturday August 16, Disneyland ​

Disneyland DIS meet in the days prior to the cruise
(Task Force Leader DisneyPilots – PM to participate)
Meet and greet fellow Pirates at Disneyland in the days leading up to the cruise. Have a chance to begin connecting names, faces and DIS id’s before we embark on our journey.

Disneyland Fantasmic DIS meet (Task Force Leaders Bellelinus and got2travel )
Meet and greet fellow Pirates at Disneyland for Fantasmic! A few of the Pirates will be saving seats for the whole gang, sign up on the Planning Boards. The Fantasmic show at DL is different that WDW in that it is not in a stadium but the area surrounding the Rivers of America in Frontierland and New Orleans Square. The show is better since they use the actual ships that sail around the river.

Port Area Dinner Meet
For those who will be staying in the San Pedro area on August 16, a group of Pirates will be heading to an area restaurant for dinner and socializing. Visit the Planning Boards and say “hi” if you want to join us.

Port Area Tall Ships Display
For those who will be staying in the San Pedro area on August 16, the tall ships will be visiting the port area. Roger (Goofyonthehiseas) posted some details on the Planning Boards if you want to know more.

Sunday August 17 Embarkation ​

Charter bus/busses to pick up DISers from DL area hotels to take us to the port – PM SmeeCanada if interested
(Task Force Leaders - Grandma x3, Bellelinus, smeecanada)
This one is self-explanatory. Why worry about DCL transfers, taxis, limos, etc. We are looking to have a few stops at the Ho-Jo’s and Disneyland hotels to carry interested Pirates to the port. A brief stop at a grocery/liquor store is also being considered.

Meet and Greet at the Terminal
This one is self-explanatory. Once you have checked in, can see (and for some of us taste) the Disney Magic, look for the gang in their embarkation day T-Shirts (most in black). We will be grabbing some space in the terminal to shake hands, hug, laugh and say "Great to have a face to go with the DIS id, we can deal with names later!"

Meet and Greet during sail away
This one is self-explanatory. After you have grabbed something to eat, dumped the day bags at the room and are ready to hit the decks, look for the Pirate gang hanging out on Deck 10 by the ….. well, not sure where yet, but we will discuss the location and take lots of pictures of each other and the Sail Away Party!

Sea Day Events – Date to be determined​

Shots Around the Ship (Task Force Chair eeyorelvr10)

Wench's brunch- Sea Day Activity – Limited seating PM Grandma x3 for info and availability.
(Task Force Leader Grandma x3)
Join the ladies in Palo for a sophisticated Pirate brunch.

Beer/Wine/Tequila/Martini Tastings (as a group) – e-mail to participate
(Task Force Leaders got2travel and MrsScooby)
Have you ever wanted to learn the difference between Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc? Have you wondered whether the rule really is white with fish, red with beef? Does the term “shaken not stirred” mean anything to you other than James Bond ? Are you just as confused as I am.....Barley, Hops, Pilsner, Lager, Stout..... what does it all mean? “Lick, Slam, Suck” - no it's not x-rated but do you know what it means? Come join us for group tastings. We are working on arranging private tastings during our sea days. At this time we do not have specific details, but we are looking for a show of interest. We are requesting Wine, Beer, Tequila, Rum and Martini tastings. No, we will not be tasting all those at the same time. There will be separate sessions planned for each. And for those of you (like me ) who want to attend them all, they will be scheduled at different times. (And hopefully different days!) These will be exactly like the tastings that DCL regularly schedules, but will be limited to those folks in our group. Each tasting will cost $12-15 per person (subject to DCL's current rates).

Sea Day 1 Formal Night​

Monday, August 18, 2008 ​

Room Tour (Task Force Leader A Litle Pixie Dust – PM to participate)
Ever wonder how the other ½ lives? Take a tour of Category 12 up through Category ?? cabins to see what they look like. Volunteers needed to organize and to host with their cabins.

Kids Meet and Greet/Post Card Exchange (Task Force Leader Needed – discuss on the Planning Boards)
How about a hometown/home state postcard swap on the first sea day as a kids meet and greet? Each kid can bring postcards from their state or local area. On the back of the postcard a greeting can be written, including things like the state birds, motto and other news. We can bring a map of the world and see how many states and countries could be colored in - many children have not met so many others from different parts of the states/world. This information can then be used in a school report (for those who may be missing school, great way to show the educational value of this trip). You can go to the local Dollar stores for postcards. You can go to websites that list the various songs, mottos, mascots of the state and print these and paste them to the back. A screen name can be included for reference. Other suggestions include a scrapbook or journal for the trip. Visit the Planning Boards and discuss.

Before heading back to the ship, stop by Cabo’s hot spot, owned by Sammy Hagar for a shot of Tequila or just some fun with the Pirates

A few of the Pirates are thinking about doing the Cabo Dolphins on their own or through DCL. If you are interested, post on the thread and they will tell you what they have planned. (DCL may have booked all available openings, check with Cabo Dolphins for non-DCL availability).

Boat Tour of Lands End
A number of the beach goers are thinking of swinging out to see the Los Arcos formation either on the way to or from the beach. We will look at whether a large charter or smaller glass bottom boats are easiest to arrange. Discuss it on the Planning Boards.

Hey Theresa
From what I heard there were a few music competitions in Williamsburg this weekend. Andrew's school band participated in the Musicale Festival at Jamestown High School. They sounded great too. Hard to believe they are only a Middle School Band. The school choir went to Lafayette High School for their competition.
Once we got to Busch Gardens I had to hang out at the first aid station for 1/2 hour with another parent and then I was free to wander the park with some other Moms. The weather was perfect and it was fun to just wander around and do what we wanted. At one point we grabbed iced coffees and just hung out in Italy, comparing kid stories-easiest chaperone job ever

I'm thinking if we decide that we need some kind of family vacation before August, that Williamsburg is where we would most likely go. Hopefully we'd get to see you then if the timing was right


Sounds like a plan, Laurie . . . we love having passes so we can go to BG or WaterCountry . . .tomorrow would be good for WaterCountry . . .LOL. Can't image how cool it would be to have passes to DL or WDW . ..

Let us know if you come down our way again

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Theresa

Do you already have a house to move into?

We've looked a bunch of houses. We found a foreclosure that we'd really like, but we have to have a contract before we're going to start that process.

Sadly they cancelled b/c the buyers never made it into town . .. Hopefully they'll be here again.

we'd really like to be moved in BEFORE the TOAL!!

[captaincrash]

..crash?..are you baby sitting ? again?

Yeah... Lil'G .... how did you guess? Today it's not been entirely ONE SIDED... but as usual it's been all about the kids and what "errands" and "honey do" favors my spouse wants.

So below ... I've gone and salvaged some QUOTES from thread #8... Just before I ran off - I had to "mark" where I left off - so I anticipated the older thread closing... so here are my last multiquotes from the prior thread... which I will still try and read through...

"Tubular Bells?" EXCELLENT!

Actually, you do not have to believe this if you do not want, but I'm tellin' the truth -- on my old phone, that was the distinctive ring tone that I had set for the bishop!

This actually is an LP album I've got in the garage! It was created by a performing artist by the nameof Mike Oldfield... and I vaguely recall it was the theme from the EXORCIST. Mike performed ALL of the instruments in the title track - which is some 20+ minutes long. And naturally, one of those instruments is a tubular bell.​

Thanks so much for your comment.

I'm hoping to get some really good pics on the cruise since I've purchased my new camera. I'm just itching to try it out!

Oh BOY Mike!

What sort of camera did you get. I imagine I'm now revealing that I've gone and missed that portion of the last 3500+ postings where you must have mentione what new digicam you acquired. At any rate, you probably know what sort of photgraphy enthusiast I am - so please reacquaint me with what you got!

Dh owns a tux... He'll bring it alnog with 2 vests sets. And 10ds wears a tux.

Here are some pics --

DH with our oldest dd...

DH with our 2 sons (oldest ds wouldn't let us buy him a tux and is wearing a rental ---

DH with all 5 of our children .

These are really wonderful and HAPPY pictures. The sort which are ALWAYS a pleasant thing to discover on our thread!​

I bought mine on Ebay for less than $20.00

I'm incredibly safe there. His attitude toward technology is Stone Age at best. He has been quoted, quite proud of himself, as saying about computers: "I don't even know how to turn one on."

Edited in...

​

Whenever anyone emails him, his secretary is the one to get the email. She prints it out and puts it on his desk. He dictates any necessary response and she returns the email.

So it is without fear or trepidation that I post on the DIS. I'll only be unsafe if you email his secretary and I'm not going to give you either of their email addresses.

Hear, Hear Crew​

This hear's yer reminder ta git yer order in to the Quartermaster fer the soft goods. Only about half the special order goods that were preordered have come in - and special orders close on Saturday, May 31!

So, git off yer duff, an git yer order in: http://thepiratezone.info/zencart

That'll be all...

Argh!
The Quartermaster

Cheryl, I bought Kev's on Ebay.

His necktie is the same pattern.

It looks pretty...

Hmmm....now I don't feel so bad about having, "Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead" set for the ringtone when my mother calls...

There is a height limit on what you can post, if its too tall, it won't show on the boards.




And people pick on me for my weather luck......

Well.. I guess there'
s no harm in wishing you good luck anyways, eh?

ATTN ALL SM PARTICIPANTS!!!!

Sorry folks for being absent - I got sick and ended up having to go to the doctor's on Friday where he gave me some antibiotics. I hereby pledge to not make fun of Steve getting sick anymore on cruises. Here he is all better and I've been laid out flat on my back for the last two days.

Anyway, just wanted to post that I have sent e-mails to all those that have requested to be included in the SM since just before my trip started. Anyway, if you sent me a pm or e-mail and did not get something from me - let me know by sending me an e-mail to my e-mail address and or here. I need to clear up some space so if you get a note saying I'm full - be patient. I'm still a bit under the weather. Today was the first time I got up since going to the Doctors.

SO, with that being said, I am now in the processing of assigning SM for both the kids and adults so if you wavering on joining in - just go ahead and let me know. I hope to have both kids and adults assigned by the next 2 weeks hopefully sooner!

Thanks all - and also, SPECIAL REQUEST for one person who will be willing to take me on as a SM, seems I have a nasty habit of finding out who I get. (I caught my SM on the WB) Anyway, if one volunteer can please pm PBader and let her know - she will keep that info from my prying eyes.

OK - now back to your regular programming!

Am I the first one to post on this new thread?

I love the logo at the top though!

It would seem you are the FIRST person to take those fateful first steps ....
