But first another transgression with respect to the travel moratorium, I booked another Fantasy cruise to travel with
@dizneeat and
@Pinkocto . It's almost a year and a half from now, so there's no worries that we'll be done by then.
Hmmmm... Serious question: Would you like company?
No. Not in your cabin or anything! But... I've never been on a cruise and.... every time we talk about it, we always worry about being sea sick. Our neighbors were really sick on theirs, although TBH, it may have been the flu.
But... if I have an actual firm date....
Maybe we could have a DISmeet at sea!
Darcy (our cleaning lady) had her house fumigated last week and has almost as many Cats as we do,
OMG! She fumigated her cats!?!!?!?
Mickey Mouse would be out at 5PM.
"The traps were laid out at 4:30."
We decided to skip Mickey as his line was probably long and instead went for Jiminy Cricket who is a rare character.
I'm not big into characters as you know. But even I would have stood in line for Jiminy.
We were going to meet with Minnie, but realized that we might miss out on Disabled seating for the Aladdin show, so instead we went to the theater and were seated in the top row where Fran could stay in her scooter.
Is it an earlier seating? Or just limited seating?
No photography is allowed during the show, so sorry no pictures.
What???
A really good TR writer would have taken some anyway.
The lifetime banning from all things Disney would've been worth it.
I was in tears most of the show, partly due to the storyline, and the other part because they replaced my favorite show with Frozen.
"And partly because Fran had parked her scooter on my foot."
After the show we decided not to try for any character photos and instead did a few formal portraits. First in front of the mosaic.
Then we finally did the white background. I've been wanting to do one of these for sometime now, but they never had it on the ships I've been on before.
Hmmm...
I really like them both, but I like the mosaic one the best.
1. I like the handholding pose better.
2. I guess because I shoot those myself, the luster isn't quite there.
(An example.)
I think it has something to do with living in the Greater LA area that we always enjoy watching the Oscars, Golden Globes and the Emmys.
I don't typically watch the GGs and almost never watch the Emmys... but I always watch the Oscars.
When we arrived at the theater, there was only one other person in there, and upon entering we were informed that they were having technical difficulties and it would be closer to 9PM that they would actually be able to tune into the broadcast.
Well.... crap.
We decided that even though we weren't all that hungry it would be a good idea to get a little bite to eat.
Good idea. Especially considering this year the Oscars were over 18 hours long.
The place was dead, it was so calm and peaceful. I'm going to guess that everyone was at the Aladdin show or dinner.
It's like a ghost ship!
We took a stroll through the family area and it was also quite empty.
I'm thinking, except for late at night, that's a rarity.
It was just after 9PM they got it going, so we missed the opening monologue.
Too bad. That's usually one of my favourite parts.
They didn't have licensing to show the commercials,
No. .... Commercials....
Way to go Fran!
I almost won a round, but when they asked the longest (in minutes) Oscar winning picture, I wanted to say Gone With The Wind, but Fran insisted it was Ben Hur. Had I gone with my gut, I coulda had a key chain too.
I would've guessed Ben Hur too.
But at 2.5 hours, it's almost half the length of Wind's 4 hours!
In the end we did not win the goody bag, and it was a very late night, but I'm glad we were watching it live. I would have hated to hear the news the next morning and not have known first hand what a blunder occurred!
I heard it before I watched. I was working and didn't watch til the next day (or two). But the PVR cut out well before the final Oscar was even starting to be presented... even though I'd added 30 minutes to the recording.
Cute l'il guy.
So I ordered a steak panini from room service.
That looks... bland. How was it?
I put on Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
I loved that show when I was a kid!
I remembered loving it as a kid, but didn't remember anything about it at all.
I remember the flying bed... and the suits of armour.... but that's about it.
Since I wanted to actually see Bedknobs and Broomsticks, I put on Princess and the Frog to drowse
Had to read that twice.
"Wants to watch it... so turns it off...."
and fell asleep before Prince Naveen even came to town. Fran said she didn't even make it to the part when they both turned into toads. And we were both out.
Awwww.... good night, ladies.
