Starcruiser Cruise Takeover

[little river]

It took Kevin and I together 3 days to finish one hahah

[hexed schooner]

Omg

[little river]

but we are SALTY people

I mean that in EVERY sense haha

[hexed schooner]

Awww

[little river]

I myself love a good salt sweet combo though

[small walrus]

it's ok, more for us.

[little river]

but I do think Gideons is my favorite interior of any store I have ever been to

[drowsy lynx]

These are like half-pound cookies. A bag would actually kill a person.

[hexed schooner]

I could do it

[drowsy lynx]

We need you alive on bote.

[hexed schooner]

Hahahah

I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU ON BOTE

My favorite merch won’t probably get to bote on time. Which is sad.

But a lot of it will

I blame Aery

I got too much art and too recently and SWAG TAKES TIME

shakes fist at Aery

[drowsy lynx]

Seriously, they are untenably large.

Also beware Hot Cookie Hour.

[hexed schooner]

A former Michelin inspector here just opened a frozen cookie company and I love her frozen cookies

https://www.doughpamine.com

[drowsy lynx]

Photos may not adequately show the depth of a Gideon's.

[hexed schooner]

Heh

[little river]

blame @astral topaz , i tried! Also I packed the things I made for you last night, do you want me to just give them to you on bote so you're not juggling more?

[hexed schooner]

Hmm

[small walrus]

I love that name

[hexed schooner]

I can take them when I see ya!

[hexed schooner]

Me too. And they are Soooooo good

[little river]

You got it!

[hexed schooner]

Omg. Cruise. Tomorrow. WHAT

[drowsy lynx]

Jock's tomorrow night. I need to keep reminding myself.

@tidal rune we're definitely on for your table at Oga's Thursday x2, right? I still gotta cancel our original reservations.

[hexed schooner]

Heh. I don’t know if I can forgive Jocks.

I’ll work on it

[little river]

dangit, I just accidentally made stickers 😆

[drowsy lynx]

I am sorry about Jock's's transgressions.

[tidal rune]

Yes! No backing out now!!

Are you also taking the evening slots? I have 2 for that reservation also.

[drowsy lynx]

We'd be happy to!

[tidal rune]

LMK if any of y'all go to Gideons Wednesday evening. I will happily exchange credits for cookies.

[drowsy lynx]

Though I'm still not sure how we're all going to fill the time between.

[tidal rune]

That is a future you issue to work out

[small walrus]

might I suggest rides and shows?

[drowsy lynx]

You might indeed.

[little river]

I hear they have a whole theme park there

[drowsy lynx]

But there is also just watching every Agnon appearance.

[little river]

Ohm, confirmed we WILL have a good Indy on Thursday at noon

[hexed schooner]

Omg omg

Okay then.

[drowsy lynx]

Those people need to rest before bote. 😐

[little river]

they can rest on bote, I feel like you don't maybe know what a vacation is!

[drowsy lynx]

I absolutely no longer know what a vacation is.

[little river]

And if you missed it, BreGaya will be at the Edison on Thursday

[tidal rune]

You can rest after the vacation

[little river]

yeah I rest at work

[drowsy lynx]

I haven't taken a vacation in 20+ years that wasn't full speed ahead, must do all the things at all the times.

[hexed schooner]

Do you know what time?

[drowsy lynx]

That was part of my 😐

Is she Bre? I thought she was Brie.

[little river]

he said thursday night so I believe that means she does all the evening sets?

[drowsy lynx]

Cancelled!

Now I just need to remember to adjust the pet hotel dates.

[tidal rune]

Yay! Fun times at Oga's 🍸

[little river]

I am making an EXTREMELY limited amount of Kevins swag (accidental stickers and ATCs) so make sure you sweet talk him if you want one

[hexed schooner]

❤️

[little river]

(trust me you want one)

Also if any rebels don't get one, I am happy to make more after

[drowsy lynx]

There's so much to keep track of.

[little river]

Cocktails, Cake, Beg for Swag

[drowsy lynx]

Speaking of! Is everybody planning to take in the actual shows and entertainment, or is the plan Nothing But Starcruiser?

[little river]

I hope to!

[hexed schooner]

I will!

[unique trellis]

I plan to take in some shows and entertainment!

[drowsy lynx]

Good good.

That will cut down on FOMO.

I can already feel myself slipping back into Wrong Way to Starcruiser mode.

[tidal rune]

I read there are crafts on board. Super excited about that.

[little river]

I am bringing my own crafts! I am also going to bring some beads to trade (not on bracelets) and some cord in case I get enough to make something!

[tidal rune]

I've got beads to trade. My daughter is making a Saja costume and I want to collect beads from across the galaxy to surprise her.

[drowsy lynx]

I wonder if we erred by going with a slightly-cheaper-than-standard room as far as people finding our door for pixie dusting. If we're not near other Starcruisers' cabins.

[tidal rune]

I made a map and our group is all over the ship.

[drowsy lynx]

I belatedly realized that we should grab all our relevant fridge magnets and stick them on the door.

[small walrus]

nah, just collect new ones for this trip.

[hexed schooner]

There will be too many magnets

I promise

I personally have brought a situation.

And it’s a thing

[little river]

OF COURSE YOU MADE A MAP! 😆

[tidal rune]

I have a problem.

[hexed schooner]

Omg we need map!!

For nefarious activities

I might have brought 3 full sized suitcases of swag and one small carryon of actual clothes and personal sundries

[hexed schooner]

Did you see this, @fleet elm and @limpid gazelle ? Eeekkkk

[fossil swan]

Oh my gosh I cannot keep up with y'all!

[fossil swan]

Oooh may I get a copy? I can drop off all your gifts ✨✨✨

[fossil swan]

I raise you a carry on 😂😂

To be fair one is empty

[hexed schooner]

Well, I have two carry-ons for the plane. I mailed everything else

[fossil swan]

You are my hero!

I'm getting in at the same time from Seattle, maybe I'll see you at MCO!

[haughty crown]

I tried moving my flight earlier and just about lost my mind working with JetBlue customer service 🤪 8:30 pm arrival it is

Maybe enough time to get a pool bar drink before closing

[hexed schooner]

Oh- they don’t sell any upset stomach drugs on the ship

So if you might want pepto or something for upset stomach etc, bring it

Otherwise you need to go to the clinic and they ban you from the pools etc

[lean grove]

Thanks for the reminder!

[drowsy lynx]

I've packed some big ziplock bags for hopefully keeping received swag safe on the way home.

I don't really know the best way to handle it, or how much there will be, or how many people I should expect to give PCSes to and how much I will fall short by.

I am already wracked with guilt.

[tidal rune]

I've got you covered! 🎁

[lean grove]

I feel totally terrible that I did not make enough bracelets

[rancid raven]

This😄

[zealous quartz]

I wish I had had more time to prepare.

[rancid raven]

The starcruiser fairygodmother

[fossil swan]

I have lots for you!

I keep making loth-cat crew challenge coins because I don't want any kids to be upset

I'll probably have enough for big kids too

[drowsy lynx]

I feel like I should have made twice as many bags, but aery might have tossed me overboard.

[zealous quartz]

I think, given the number of generous people in this group, nobody will get everything but everybody will get something.

[fossil swan]

Such a good way to put it!

[drowsy lynx]

Yes. I will spend three days fighting my completist tendencies and then the swag box cometh.

[fossil swan]

You should post that in the FB group to help ease a bunch of anxiety

[zealous quartz]

Also the real swag is the friends we made along the way

(please do not stuff your friends into the swag box)

[fossil swan]

How much do I ♥️ you right now?!

[drowsy lynx]

We have a lot of ziplocks.

[fossil swan]

So...many....zip...locks

I had leftover sublimation prints from doing the art poster, but they didn't look nice so I'm using these as well...

When the weekends over lmk if you want one

[little river]

Don't, I have a few things that we literally only made a dozen of

[drowsy lynx]

Everything there looks amazing.

[fossil swan]

My pile of wreckage as I pack the final bits

[drowsy lynx]

Anyone here who wants a Pocket Climate Sim, please hit me up early so I don't risk running out.

[fossil swan]

Ahahahahaha

What is this wonderful thing

You had me at climate Sim

[little river]

GET IN THE BOX

[little river]

Meeeee

I already have a label for it lol

[drowsy lynx]

It'll be pre-labeled anyway!

[fossil swan]

I'm already overwhelmed and full on squirreling and I'm still in my living room

[drowsy lynx]

I don't have any unlabeled ones.

Though a couple have super-special prototype labels.

[fossil swan]

What are they?

Like little rock gardens?

[drowsy lynx]

If you want a spoiler.

[fossil swan]

Oh I'm not going to spoil!

Thank you for reminding me that it's more fun to be surprised!

[little river]

I am going to need a full on traders table at the swag swap haha

[fossil swan]

I was going to ask about that

[drowsy lynx]

I really don't have a good mental image of how many people to expect at the swap. You people have left me with the impression that it's going to be like 200 people, all of whom have made a dozen different amazing things.

[fossil swan]

I think it will be almost the entire group for sure

[drowsy lynx]

How do you even do swaps if you don't have something for everybody?

[little river]

I call this, I'm tired, make your own damn bracelet

[fossil swan]

I wish Disney would let us use cabanas

[drowsy lynx]

Because I probably only have about 70. I haven't counted.

[little river]

a lot of us are doing giveaways

and some people won't participate at all!

[drowsy lynx]

For the sake of my sanity, I kind of hope a lot don't.

At least the Special Guests we know about already have them.

[little river]

I am also doing a take a bead, leave a bead situation

[fossil swan]

Fun!!

[fossil swan]

Special Guests? Like the you know who's that will look like folks we know?

[tidal rune]

Me. My Padawan love rocks

[drowsy lynx]

Those ones, yep!

[fossil swan]

I am going to bust into tears

[little river]

I know of 5-6 apecial guests

apecial is more special than special

[drowsy lynx]

Does that count chemists?

[little river]

it does

[fossil swan]

Definitely!

[little river]

3 chemists and 6 non

no

3 chemists and 3 non

[drowsy lynx]

I only knew of two chemists.

[fossil swan]

Speaking of chemists...

[drowsy lynx]

I have not given gifts to any chemists yet.

[little river]

I hear 2 then 3 then 2 again

[little river]

neither have I, I am currently running a full set of our giveaways so I can pixie dust them.

[fossil swan]

Oh gosh now I'm panicking again 😭

[little river]

don't, I have some things that I ONLY have enough of for my FE +personal pixie +rebels list

and I want to make sure there's more

[fossil swan]

As someone wise once said (about 20 min ago) .... Also the real swag is the friends we made along the way

[drowsy lynx]

It's honestly pretty amazing that any cast and crew would go "I want to spend three days being mobbed by rabid, extremely appreciative Starcruiser fans."

[little river]

and put your friends in boxes

[drowsy lynx]

But I appreciate it very much.

[haughty crown]

There’s 3

Ones in my cabin

2 are in a diff one

[little river]

you should let them out

[haughty crown]

Ehhh maybe later

[little river]

fair

[drowsy lynx]

Let them out after they finish mixing your drinks.

[fossil swan]

Oh no... I have a gift bag for you and Em, but nothing for your third

Will they be at dinner with us?

[haughty crown]

I will be quiet 😶

They should be yes!

[fossil swan]

Ok I have time!

Can you DM me the name?

[haughty crown]

Yes!!

[haughty crown]

I totally forgot 💀

All good haven’t left

[unique trellis]

Kind of late to make sure it’s not expired, omg!

[little river]

yeah that was the word of the day a month ago haha

[fossil swan]

Disney did me a huge solid back in 2012...it was their first (and only) summer doing Alaska from Seattle

I booked to go by myself, and when I got there it turns out my passport was expired.

They basically said, look just dont get off the ship in Victoria and we'll just pretend this didn't happen

And then bumped me to a cabin with a verandah because I was alone and sobbing

[little river]

we got married on a Seattle to Alaska cruise! (not DCL though)

[fossil swan]

Yay!! Which ship?

James and I also did a Celebrity to Alakaa

[little river]

Norwegian Pearl

[hexed schooner]

omg pocket climate sim. >.>

I know about one blue crew, two chemists, and one super big deal famous cast member

[little river]

there's a cast member pair and another cast

I did confirm this AM that they're both going

[hexed schooner]

OH YAY

okay so two of our superfav cast members are gong

total craziness.

[drowsy lynx]

I guessed when CM1 showed a picture of two lanyards.

[haughty crown]

I was told to keep it a secret by one but I think that was the case with a lot of people LOL

[drowsy lynx]

I only knew when she insta'ed it!

[lean grove]

This cruise is going to be amazing. I wish my work day was over so I can do all my last minute things and then TRY to sleep.

[little river]

yeah I said Byeeee at noon

[little river]

There's only one I still think may? be a secret?

[haughty crown]

Yeah there’s def an insta softish launch and a secret third option with no insta mention

2 not-chemist blue crew by my count but I could’ve missed people

[lean grove]

I think someone said a person from the phone crew was meeting us in Batuu

[little river]

they're coming out of the woodwork! Quickly! gift them!

I need you all to swear to me that if you see or hear of Bre doing karaoke on board you GET ME IMMEDIATELY

[little river]

Ok guys, come see me before you go to the ship clinic, I've got you covered for allergies, heartburn, gas, cuts and scrapes, Tylenol and immodium

[unique trellis]

Hi. 😎

[drowsy lynx]

There is a chemist who has been doing March 1 CSL insta posts, but she's been on Jedi Talk a bunch so I assumed she was probably doing their event, not the cruise.

[drowsy lynx]

Early on the bote, please!

[tidal rune]

I've got 800 MG Tylenol. You know. Just in case.

[drowsy lynx]

Early now and I will get scattered.

[tidal rune]

I've got a few hours tomorrow and then I'm out!

[little river]

We leave the house at 5 am tomorrow 😬😬

[drowsy lynx]

Fun!

Drive safe.

Or Uber safe.

[lean grove]

I have to sign in tomorrow because someone decided to just keep talking and talking during my scrum call this morning. So, now I have to hop on to make sure my engineering don’t run around like they don’t know what they are doing.

But tonight is all last minute packing things

[limpid gazelle]

Go little porgs, go!

[lean grove]

Your Porg Army is on its way.

[rancid raven]

Omg I do want one😍

[rancid raven]

This lol.💙

[drowsy lynx]

I've hopefully made a note of everyone who said they wanted one, but please also come find me aboard and identify yourselves if needed!

That's us. I will not be dressed that fancy.

[tidal rune]

Find me in Batuu and tell me you are in Discord and I'll give you one. 💫🧡

[rancid raven]

I feel like my beads are not cool enough for this exchange, you guys are making such amazing stuff!

[drowsy lynx]

I'll do my best to mention we're in the discord while we're sharing a table at Oga's.

But it may slip my mind.

[tidal rune]

Or mine😄

[small walrus]

all swag is beautiful

[drowsy lynx]

Even lack of swag is still good.

[little river]

Hol up, what do you do for a living?

[unique trellis]

I’ll do my best! We are on Disney transport from Pop.

[little river]

P a r t y b u s

[fossil swan]

I can bring mine!

[drowsy lynx]

It doesn't have to be too-too early. Just before we get too far into the nighttime swap meet is good. 🙂

[fossil swan]

Also, I made full sets of mini credits ♥️♥️ evidently I'm making stuff until I fall asleep tonight.

[rancid raven]

I love the colors so much

[fossil swan]

Gaya Purple for gold, Ouannii green for silver and Raithe gold for bronze

[lean grove]

Scrum Master

[tidal rune]

I am obsessed with Raithe.

[small walrus]

Never. Done.

[fossil swan]

We're not worthy. Scrum masters are the Jedi Masters of Engineering

[unique trellis]

Gotcha.

[tidal rune]

i'm done. all projects done. cricut, sewing machine and 3d printer are OFF. anything my brain thinks of overnight will have to wait until October! make dinner, put kidlets to bed, finish packing and then off to bed.

[hexed schooner]

I feel like I don't have enough cool stuff

I have giveaway fomo

[unique trellis]

If we don’t connect early for a climate simulator, no worries on my end. The real Starcruiser is the friends I’ve made along the way. 💕

[little river]

I'm a scrum master Sr Manager ❤️❤️❤️

[drowsy lynx]

I've got your nick jotted down, so I can't see too many circumstances where I wouldn't be able to give you one. I'm just trying to reduce the small chances of me goofing up.

I do have somewhere close to 70 of them, I think.

[unique trellis]

That’s a lot!

[drowsy lynx]

I'm less sure of that every time someone else says how many things they're bringing...

[rancid raven]

Me too

[drowsy lynx]

We've got what, 150+ people who booked through SJM, plus anyone who registered on their own, I think? My numbers may be off.

I'm honestly afraid to go look at how many people RSVPed to the swap meet-up on FB.

[fossil swan]

I think we all do!

[drowsy lynx]

Also too lazy to find it, that's a factor too.

[fossil swan]

I made 200 of the voyage memento pins, but after that, everything else is less than 75

Some things I only made a few, but those are for magical moment gifts

[drowsy lynx]

See?! I've got way less than her lowest-production estimate.

[fossil swan]

I'm also retired and have lots of time on my hands ♥️

[drowsy lynx]

Ooo, nice.

[fossil swan]

Time otherwise spent vegging on the couch

Add a slice of compulsive perfectionism with a dab of never quite done tweaking.. and I give you me.

Is it ok to stop by and say hi at Jocks tomorrow night?

[drowsy lynx]

It is mandatory.

As long as convenient for you.

[hexed schooner]

On the final voyage, I couldn't even manage to give away all my swag - I felt like at the after party, I had bags of swag and tried to give it all out but still couldn't manage to do it

[drowsy lynx]

This is our first attempt at swagging ever.

That's what all the swagging veterans call it, right?

I need to make sure I don't panic and just throw swag at passers-by.

[unique trellis]

OK, just got home from work. Quick dinner and laundry, and then finish packing.

[little river]

my floor is mopped, my stove is wiped, my hair color is being touched up now, all I have to do tonight is craft

and it's all bonus stuff at this point, not even swag

[unique trellis]

I have one of those dental repair kits.

[little river]

oh great you can fit my next crown

[hexed schooner]

Aery. I don't want to pack.

I don't even want to go. Because then it'll be over and I'm not READY

and when it's over I'll be SAD

[tidal rune]

House cleaning starts now. Uggh.

[hexed schooner]

and I haven't even gotten my swag yet

(the huge otehr box from the UK stuck in customs)

(Not the two huge bags in Orlando waiting for me)

Someone please pause time thanks

[rancid raven]

I felt that way the night of the last cruise, I was in my bunk, looking out into space and not wanting to fall asleep. 💙

[little river]

I am printing for you now @hexed schooner and holy crap, this man is an ARTIST

[hexed schooner]

Is that why you married him?

[drowsy lynx]

No, she only just found out.

[hexed schooner]

“Forget cash cows- this man is an art cow! Gonna get all the art now!”

He really does make all the art

And the art is gooooodddddddd

[little river]

ITS SO GOOD

[little river]

actually... it's not NOT a reason

I admire the passion it takes to get that good at something, so it was definitely a factor in why I made him date me

[hexed schooner]

Fair

I made my partner date me by intimidating him and kinda asking him why he wasn’t already dating me

Story of my life

[little river]

I just dated kevin. And he kind of had to fall in line since I didn't stop

[hexed schooner]

Fair

“I mean, since you are already dating me, I might as well love you”

[little river]

Exactly!

It's been 17 years so I think it was a sound tactic

[hexed schooner]

Makes sense to me!

[drowsy lynx]

That's how we tamed up our feral kittens.

[little river]

Where do you think I learned it? I do TNR, I just didn't NR him

[tidal rune]

Since I'm allergic to people it's best to approach me head on. Offerings of sweets are always a good idea.🙃

[hexed schooner]

And as an aside, if someone wants to try the Apple Vision Pro, I’ll have mine.

I have a Leia and a Gaya and an sk dress for the three days of the cruise - I guess I’m all set! shrugs

[shut gyro]

Oohh ooh Apple Vision Pro

[unique trellis]

Sure, my sister in law is a dentist so I bet I can do it!

[young badge]

I have FINALLY finished my last thing for the cruise!

Catch me bounding as Keevan On Vacation after the… eventful 275th anniversary cruise of the Halcyon!

[little river]

I was wondering what you were stitching!!

[young badge]

I've also got a dark blue sun cover up/swim cover up 🙂

[unique trellis]

Finished packing!!!!

[unique trellis]

You sound all set to me!

[unique trellis]

Keevan deserves a vacation!

[rancid raven]

I need to start ahaha

[haughty crown]

I .... have my list and everything ready, just have to put it all in bags

have about 16 hours

[lean grove]

Who needs sleep

[unique trellis]

You’ll be fine. Everything’s fine.

[little river]

Packing done, hair empurpled, toes painted, if I haven't done it yet it's not getting done. Well, except the litter bot

[haughty crown]

I am about 70% packed at least!

[tidal rune]

One of these is getting left behind.

[hexed schooner]

Toes need painting. Hair not gonna get dyed. Did clean the little box.

[unique trellis]

I got my toes done Sunday. Will empty the Litter Robot drawer tomorrow.

[little river]

Ill bring all of your non surprise gifts to Disney springs with me TOMORROW!

[fossil swan]

Tomorrow I'm bringing my two time Starcruiser roomie and the one of the nicest Blue Crew of all.... ✨

Bell!

[hexed schooner]

Nice!

[fossil swan]

We're bunkmates for the cruise too !

[hexed schooner]

Oh, and for those that need it- the WhatsApp https://chat.whatsapp.com/IjY6oytxOvvDA4KMzNMf9y

[unique trellis]

That is a beauiful fan.

[fossil swan]

It was beautiful in person!

Ok packing done... One of these kids is not like the others...

But Grogu doesn't go anywhere without his purse ♥️

[little river]

Oh btw please don't take it personally if I mask around you all, I'm on low dose chemo and thus have no real immune system

[fossil swan]

I'll have a mask with me and happy to put it on!

[little river]

I've got every vaccine available on board and one that's not (clinical trial) so I should be just fine! I just get antsy when I hear coughing lol

[drowsy lynx]

I did not remember Saja Kade having a first name.

And of course, no problem!

[young badge]

Totally understand!

[hexed schooner]

Please mask. The flu is going around. I just recovered from it, but you cannot get it!

I mean, you can if you want to, but I don’t want you to!

[little river]

It's not on my mood board for sure!

[unique trellis]

I’m bringing my Grogu!

[drowsy lynx]

We should have masks with us, so please nudge us if you'd like us to put them on at any point, too.

[unique trellis]

Of course! Would you like me to mask around you?

[little river]

Not unless you are sick!

(I do have medical clearance to travel)

[hexed schooner]

Oh man. I feel like I should bring a toy now. >.<

[little river]

If I see that loth cat anywhere to purchase...

[lean grove]

Bags packed, house cleaned, nails done

[unique trellis]

I'm not sick!

I did just stuff a few masks in my backpack. And I've now realized that I carefully put all of our masks in a safe location a couple of months ago--but can no longer remember where.

My husband is now tasked with looking for them.

Found them!

[unique trellis]

No reason not to...

[hexed schooner]

My carry on is at 100%!

And I’m worried about hurting her

[astral topaz]

Art mines are closed for the week, looking forward to seeing everybody. Safe travels all!

[hexed schooner]

Okay but… what about… airplane flying art!?

Are you really gonna stop rating just because you are cruising!?!

(Oh my gosh please stop arting and have an amazing cruise!!)

[little river]

He never actually stops

He's bringing at least one sketchbook

[drowsy lynx]

I've got a super nostalgic Transformer arriving Thursday, and if it weren't for the franchise dissonance, I'd probably bring it along.

[astral topaz]

Whadja git!?!?

[drowsy lynx]

MissingLink Optimus, the absolutely bonkers "looks just like the original toy but super-articulated" new release.

[astral topaz]

Very cool, wish I had taken better care of mine growing up. Definitely best toy made back then

[drowsy lynx]

He was neato.

Also kinda hilarious when his legs can move.

[hexed schooner]

Wow nice!

[astral topaz]

Way better than go-bots :p

[drowsy lynx]

Sometimes I feel like adult fans are too catered-to these days.

Probably out of desperation because kids don't buy toys any longer.

[astral topaz]

If I had kids, they'd definitely have toys. Just ask our cats

[drowsy lynx]

Our cats eat their toys. 😐

And mine, if they had access.

[zealous quartz]

We got this for the cats, and they immediately started chewing and shredding the ribbons.

[astral topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kid-play-owned-fall-gif-5410606

[drowsy lynx]

At least one of those is not a cat.

I think.

[little river]

Cite your sources

[little river]

Uber on the way!

It's 22 degrees here ugh

[unique trellis]

7 degrees here.

[unique trellis]

But I'm going to Batuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

[vale horizon]

this happened to me, and I'm not even going on the cruise, lol. Good on us for keeping things secret though!!!

[drowsy lynx]

It'll be hilarious if everyone actually knows a different "going but it's a secret" person.

[vale horizon]

I'm pretty sure it's the same CM telling everyone, lol, going off their personality, but yeah, that'd be hilarious

and then Mando Brian's SK-620 just rolls up on the cruise

[drowsy lynx]

Yes please

[vale horizon]

But yeah, confirming that it's a couple that's already Insta announced and a third that's much quieter about it

I checked in with folks I knew when I was weighing if I should risk going with pneumonia lol - decided against it.

but yeah, and some Blue Crew I know are going, all really good people

[drowsy lynx]

Is everybody really doing a PJ party during the swap meet? I have a thing I can bring (if it fits in bags) but it is very bulky and I would feel pretty darn silly if it's just me.

[tidal rune]

PJ adjacent but not SW related

My Plus 1 is going in muggle clothes

[little river]

Yes

Kevin has a Chewbacca onesie

[drowsy lynx]

I shall ponder, space dependent.

[little river]

I'm already watching my cat sleep on camera 😦

[tidal rune]

I have a confession, I am terrified to get on the ship. 😨

[hexed schooner]

Oh no! Are you okay? Why?

[astral topaz]

I don't think I even like leaving the house anymore but @little river usually makes amazing plans with the best people so I tag along and am okay when I get there.

[drowsy lynx]

My only worry is managing to miss out on fun.

And churro waffles.

[astral topaz]

I'll have to learn more about these .. churro waffles you speak of

[tidal rune]

I've never been on a cruise and don't know what to expect. We are going to be in the open water, deep water. What if I fall of? What if someone gets tummy sick and then we all get it. Anxiety is my super power.

[drowsy lynx]

It's basically a large building. Falling off cannot happen.

If I get tummy sick it will be from churro waffles and non-contagious.

[little river]

You have to try very hard to fall off and I have immodium and gasx for all

[tidal rune]

Okey dokey...

[uncut nymph]

As said, falling off accidentally is nearly impossible.

If you get sick they have medical staff on board.

The movement of the ships are usually pretty mild and you stop noticing after a couple of hout, but if in doubt the lower and closer to the middle of the ship you get the less severe any wave induced movement will feel.

[unique trellis]

Hey. I get it. You won't fall off unless you get stupid drunk or try to go from one balcony to another or do something ridiculous. The ship is huge. As for catching a tummy sick, just be sure to wash your hands a lot and use the hand sanitizer in public spaces. Cruise lines are well aware of this possibility and do everything to mitigate it. As for getting seasick, take a nondrowsy Dramamine or equivalent before you get on the ship. You'll be ok. We're going to have a great time!

[hexed schooner]

New stuff is scary. But I think you’ll find that once you are on the boat, it’ll seem like a huge fancy Disney hotel and the water will barely register and you’ll just find yourself having fun.

[little river]

I have thalassophobia and find cruise ships are large enough that I'm ok 90% of the time

[little river]

I'll see you guys in a few hours omg

Im so excited

[hexed schooner]

Ugh. Where on the app is the port arrival form?

I feel dumb

[little river]

Check in - port forma

I also had a hard time finding it

[uncut nymph]

Take lots of pictures!

[hexed schooner]

You are the best!

[astral topaz]

She is

[tidal rune]

Roadtrip from San Antonio to Austin airport and a final stop at Buc-ee's for snackage.

[unique trellis]

I just got my email about transfers! It’s happening!

port arrival form

???

[lean grove]

We are waiting for our ride to the airport.

[unique trellis]

OK, found the form. Thanks, @little river !

Oh, wait, I already have this in my mobile wallet.

What the hell, I'll print it anyway.

[drowsy lynx]

It may be possible to get too many Optimus Primes in one day.

[unique trellis]

Perish the thought.

[uncut nymph]

But that day is not today

[hexed schooner]

Flights returned to gate and deboarded

So that’s not ideal

[drowsy lynx]

Yikes?

At least it's not day-of.

[unique trellis]

I've done the same thing with my dual screens. Makes me so happy.

I also have my Adam Schickling Beacon of Hope print (Leia) proudly displayed in my office where I see it every time I look up from my computer.

[unique trellis]

No! Please keep us posted.

[haughty crown]

Good news I’m packed! Leave here in 20 min lol

[unique trellis]

Yay!

I'm about to leave for the airport.

[hexed schooner]

Maybe the flight will leave in another hour and a half!

[fossil swan]

Keep us posted!!

[hexed schooner]

We have a new plane that supposedly works!

[fossil swan]

Between Facebook, Discord and What's App I'm having a hard time remembering what I said where, so forgive me if I repeat myself 😐

[drowsy lynx]

Hooray for working plane!

[drowsy lynx]

I do it all the time!

Anyway, let me show y'all these Optimus Primes I just got...

[limpid gazelle]

After a slight mishap this morning, don’t worry no porgs were harmed.

[drowsy lynx]

Master chocolate forger.

[limpid gazelle]

I don’t know if this puts me a goblin status, but I did learn how to mold, temper, set and airbrush chocolate as well as heat, seal, and package

[unique trellis]

Through security with my lightsaber!

[shut gyro]

Me too. Had to go through an extra bag search though

[unique trellis]

I’ve had that in the past but not this time. Just a long stare at the xray.

[little river]

We're in Florida!

[drowsy lynx]

Huzzah!

Say hi to the yard kittens.

[little river]

So cute

[unique trellis]

Good kitties.

[little river]

I last minute booked us a shuttle so we're waiting on that now

[astral topaz]

Can't wait to pet those kitties

[little river]

Pointy kittens

[lean grove]

Careful they tend to be a little bitey

[little river]

Ran into another cruiser on the bus

[drowsy lynx]

Galactic Buscruiser

[unique trellis]

Grogu’s ready to go.

[drowsy lynx]

Stay on target, Green One.

[little river]

Met this guy!

He spotted my Halcycon watch band

[lean grove]

Getting read to take-off. We’ll be landing in Orlando in about 5 hours.

[tidal rune]

Parking spot E009.

TSA had concerns about my carry ons. They are pack full of fish extender stuff.

[unique trellis]

Did you make it through or all you posting from TSA detention?

[tidal rune]

I made it through and bags are secured. I even have my airport Starbucks in hand.

[little river]

We're freshening up and then wandering over to Disney springs

[small walrus]

I just got to Springs, not too crowded

[drowsy lynx]

Still working, but will aim to be there well before 6.

[rancid raven]

Packing and vibing. This seemed like the right moment to light the fire.

[drowsy lynx]

Ignite the sp--wait.

[unique trellis]

tears well up

Happy tears.

[rancid raven]

One of my favorite gifts.💓💓

From one of my favorite galactic beings.😘

[hexed schooner]

So many people have made so many beautiful and poignant things

[haughty crown]

Flight started boarding and now they’re saying we won’t be boarding for an hour 🫠

[small walrus]

I am very happy though that you all planned to arrive in advance

[hexed schooner]

Mine boarded, unboarded, reboarded on a new plane, and had to refuel and get a new crew. We might even take off!

I am glad I came 2 days early!

[little river]

We're here @small walrus

[small walrus]

I'm at Earl of Sandwich, I forgot how good this was.

I'll start making my way over

[little river]

We're going to check out the Gideon's line

[unique trellis]

I’ve boarded and my lightsaber is stowed in the coat closet. The rest of me is stowed in commoner class.

[haughty crown]

Did they tell you what’s up? The pilot came out and said something but the guy next to me was being wicked loud on the phone so I didn’t catch it

Some maintenance check that has to be approved

[little river]

It's a good short line

[haughty crown]

Got about 10 people on before they kicked everyone out

[little river]

If you're looking for us this is what we look like

[haughty crown]

Good news we have a time - 45 minutes til boarding

Allegedly

[unique trellis]

Fingers crossed!

[small walrus]

Be there shortly!

Though tbf I do everything shortly.

[little river]

There's like no Gideon's line right now

Who is going to make it to jocks around 6?

With headcount

[drowsy lynx]

We will! Two!

Not sure if we'll make it to Gideon's before. Probably not, so hopefully tonight after, but they'll likely be out of secret cake by then if they aren't already.

[little river]

They are out

We're sitting enjoying a breeze and a PB mfing cold brew

[hexed schooner]

I want cookie

[drowsy lynx]

Good to know ahead of time. Thanks!

Longer drive time than usual. We'll be cutting it very close to 6.

[hexed schooner]

I have FOMO

[unique trellis]

Ok, we have a valve that didn’t open and are still at the gate n

They are calling maintenance.

[haughty crown]

Starcruiser family spotted at the gate

We’re boarding thank god

Why are we all having plane problems

[drowsy lynx]

Just parked!

[unique trellis]

Sounds like we WILL be taking off after some paperwork is completed.

And presumably they dealt with the valve?

[haughty crown]

Our delay was also paperwork!! They just said it took longer than expected

[unique trellis]

We had some kind of mechanical thing. A valve that wouldn’t open. Or close. Not sure. But it seems to be ok. 🤞

[drowsy lynx]

We're at Jock's! Where our Starcruisers at?

[little river]

We're right here dude

[unique trellis]

And we are in the air!

[drowsy lynx]

@fossil swan A bunch of us Rebels are at Jock's if you're coming to Springs!

[limpid gazelle]

It’s not porgs. I promise.

We didn’t get out of the house till 5:15😵‍💫

#TinyHumanTravels

[tidal rune]

Just landed. How long are y'all going to be at Jock's?

[uncut nymph]

No worries. I've been telling people the same stories for 20 years

[drowsy lynx]

A bit longer, but probably not too-too much longer.

[tidal rune]

Okey dokey. Looking forward to meeting everyone tomorrow. 💫

[drowsy lynx]

Us too!!

[drowsy lynx]

If you're nearby, we're still here for a little bit, but I cannot predict anybody's timing and do not want to give you bad info.

[tidal rune]

We were delayed getting off the transport. Just now at baggage claim. Going to the resort to settle in.

[tidal rune]

What are your socials? I'll follow you
IG @tidal rune2.0
TT @Rabid.Meerkat

[hexed schooner]

What is TT?

[tidal rune]

TikTok. I live out my film making fantasies there.

[hexed schooner]

I’m on IG as Kamino_On_Halcyon and I just followed you

Ah!

I’m not on there, and I’m a filmmaker. Ha!

[tidal rune]

Followed back.

Scorsese should be concerned with my mini masterpieces 🙃

[hexed schooner]

I hear the things he makes with his daughter are cute!

[lean grove]

We finally arrived at our hotel. We are going to head over to Jock’s to grab a bite.

[hexed schooner]

Nice. I’m landing in 30 minutes. That was a long day of travel. Took us almost 11 hours to get here with all the delays!

[lean grove]

Oof, that’s a long day

[hexed schooner]

I met a guy in the lounge that told me he was going to Maui->SFO->Salt Lake City, and apparently on the SFO to SLC flight, someone flipped out and started attacking people - so they locked him in the bathroom and landed in SFO - and he somehow took too long going back through security and missed his new flight. So he’d been trying to get home for about 18 hours

[lean grove]

That’s a nightmare. Our trip was relatively smooth with one exception. The man sitting next to me was very upset that I was just existing in space and using the arm rest.

[unique trellis]

Just landed.

My flight was uneventful. Sat next to two very polite teenage siblings.

And I remembered my lightsaber.

[tidal rune]

Kid #2 motorcycle accident at home. Waiting for more details but he is ok just shaken up. Me too.

[haughty crown]

Landed and the alarm is going off at the airport. Feels like This Is A Shipwide Alert

No one’s freaking out and none of the staff are reacting so not sure what’s up

[haughty crown]

Oh gosh I’m so sorry! Keep us updated

[drowsy lynx]

So glad he's okay!

[hexed schooner]

How dare you

[hexed schooner]

So glad kid is ok.

[hexed schooner]

I just landed too!

Holy Toledo we woke up at 6am pst for this!

[haughty crown]

No emergency found they say lol

Pardon the interruption

[lean grove]

That’s really scary. I’m glad he’s okay.

[unique trellis]

It took forever for bags to arrive!

If anyone is at baggage claim and wants to split an Uber to Pop, I’ve got one coming.

[hexed schooner]

I’m en route to yacht club now- gotta get ready for tomorrow

[unique trellis]

In a very nice Uber!

[little river]

I bought a weighted Marie to sleep with when I start to miss my cat

It's so heavy lol

[hexed schooner]

Is anyone up to play/hang out tonight?

[unique trellis]

I’m really used to having 8-9 pounds at my feet.

[unique trellis]

Clearly you are not 50 years old! 🤣

[hexed schooner]

I am used to 22 pounds on my face

[hexed schooner]

Only a year away!

[unique trellis]

Seriously, I’m going to catch up with my sister and hit the sack.

[unique trellis]

What? I thought you were in your 20s!

Seriously.

[hexed schooner]

Hahahahha

No

[unique trellis]

Wtf.

[hexed schooner]

70s child over here

[unique trellis]

Well, same!

[hexed schooner]

Very immature

[unique trellis]

No, I don’t think that’s it!

[hexed schooner]

Haha

[unique trellis]

Maybe you have a very young face.

[hexed schooner]

Only when thinking about the Halcyon!

[unique trellis]

I did think you had a ridiculous number of accomplishments for someone in their 20s.

Was actually planning on interrogating you in person but now it seems unnecessary.

[hexed schooner]

Hahaha

Oh good

Well, let’s play tomorrow!

[unique trellis]

We’ll just have a normal conversation!

[lean grove]

We are still in Disney Springs at Gideon’s.

[hexed schooner]

Omg what

[shut gyro]

We just ran into @summer glade outside of Jocks

[summer glade]

Great meeting you all!

[hexed schooner]

Should I head over?

[lean grove]

I’m not sure how late things will be open. I think everything closed at 11.

Everything is closing up. We are headed back to our hotel.

[little river]

#1974

[limpid gazelle]

I am so excited to see yooooou

[rancid raven]

Midnight here in West Batuu and I’m not fully packed, leaving on a flight in 6 hours and my only companion is this golden porg who stowed away in my luggage from my last Halcyon trip. See you soon fam.

[rancid raven]

Also this:

[tidal rune]

#1971, i win.

Update-No broken bones but a huge gash on his knee. He was very lucky.

[tidal rune]

The most rare of all porgs

[unique trellis]

I’m so glad it wasn’t worse.

[tidal rune]

🧡 Same. Now the bike is another story.

[lean grove]

Me too!!!!!! We are headed to HS for the day.

[drowsy lynx]

I'm sure I'm missing something, but it seems weird that I can't find our assigned boarding time anywhere in the app. I know what it is, but I like to see it, y'know?

[little river]

I woke up with a DOUBLE CHARLIE HORSE (what does it meeeean) so we're doing a casual no rush park day

[little river]

It's on the port form

[drowsy lynx]

I see. You have to select Edit Check-In to get to it. That's terrible.

[little river]

It really is

[rancid raven]

At the airport, ready to jump to Batuu East from West

[drowsy lynx]

Time to foolishly attempt an exercise on a major walking-around day.

[tidal rune]

OMY to MGM. I have an appointment with a Ronto Wrap

[drowsy lynx]

Enjooooy!

Our ETA will be "sometime before the noon Indy."

We will miss breakfast rontos once again.

[rancid raven]

I miss the Zuchii wrap, it’s so goooood

[unique trellis]

It’s your Port Arrival form.

You can see it through online check in

[unique trellis]

Yeah, I just woke up for the second time.

[unique trellis]

Fly safely!

[unique trellis]

Safe travels!

[rancid raven]

See you soooooon!

[lean grove]

Is there a place to meet-up for the noon Indy show?

[unique trellis]

Gaaaaah! This is so cool!

I’m going to get a mouse waffle.

[rancid raven]

What is a moose waffle?😄

[unique trellis]

Haha! My sister called the Mickey waffle a mouse waffle so I’m going with it.

[rancid raven]

I wonder what she will name the Churro waffle.😄

[unique trellis]

Stay tuned.

All lined up and waiting for me!

[little river]

We're heading to skyliner

Omg sky lining

[little river]

Heading to Batuu for a caf

[small walrus]

skyliner is the best

[unique trellis]

We will be there in time for lunch at Docking Bay 7. Which somehow we’ve never been to before.

[drowsy lynx]

Heading out to the park now! Save us a seat at Indy please!

[little river]

Oh lol caf is Disneyland

[tidal rune]

There is a cold brew caf at the popcorn stand

[little river]

Oooo maybe I will check there!

Going to shovel a ronto in now, got a table in the docking bay courtyard outside

[drowsy lynx]

Just parked!

I guess we'll wait near Indy once we're inside.

[limpid gazelle]

Going through parking now.

Vasilis: “woah! Flying babies!”(skyliner)

[tidal rune]

👀 looking for purple hair

Rise then Indy. Save me/Plus 1 a seat.🙃

[little river]

Confirmed stay in line

[haughty crown]

I’m on the clock til 1 💀 but I’ll be heading to HS once I’m out!

[drowsy lynx]

We are legion.

[little river]

I'm already overwhelmed by how many we are

[limpid gazelle]

And that’s not even counting the ports

[fossil swan]

So good to see y'all last night! We're headed to Batuu now!!

[rancid raven]

Hahaha it begins

[unique trellis]

Making our way to Batuu.

Omg I’m on the skyliner!!!

[fleet elm]

Hype level too high

Was nice meeting some of you in person

[hexed schooner]

We saw Indy!

[rancid raven]

Anyone else traveling today? I just got to Utah, next step Atlanta then finally Orlando.😄😄 I’d cross the world to see all of you!

[tidal rune]

Don't forget to ask me for your badge!

[unique trellis]

I met Aery and Krosh!!!

[tidal rune]

Launch update - moved to Saturday
NASA's SpaceX Crew-8
MAR 02, 2024 11:16 PM
LAUNCH COMPLEX 39A • KENNEDY SPACE CENTER

[little river]

@limpid gazelle have we met you yet?

[limpid gazelle]

I have no idea I’m stupidly awkward

lol

[little river]

Me: WHO ARE YOU!

[little river]

Oh same lol

[unique trellis]

It was excellent.

[little river]

Ok! Have seen you 2 million times but not sat with you yet

[tidal rune]

This is why we need nametags with real names and handles.

[unique trellis]

Ah, I was wondering what would happen and if we'd be able to see it. Thanks for the update. Nice to meet you in person.

[unique trellis]

I'm super pleased that putting the Halcyon Rebels logo on my new saber sheath bore fruit.

My god, what have I become? That sentence....

[little river]

I literally chased you down hahaha

[unique trellis]

I mean, I just wandered Oga's asking for "Rabidmeerkat."

[little river]

YOU BEAR THE MARK SPEAK YOUR NAME

[unique trellis]

I spoke it!!!

[shut gyro]

@unique trellis and @tidal rune did @lean grove and I meet you yet?

[unique trellis]

No, but I asked a random couple if they were the Brunettos. They were not.

[unique trellis]

So it would be good to meet!

[tidal rune]

I gave you a leap day sticker but we didn't disclose our true identies

[unique trellis]

We will be back at Oga's at 905.

[little river]

Can vouch for @lean grove And @shut gyro as delightful

[unique trellis]

Very good.

[tidal rune]

We are having sushi at EPCOT RN and will be back at Oga's to close out the night

Is there sushi on the boat?

[small walrus]

long enough fishing line

[frail valve]

Unlikely. There's not a sushi-dedicated restaurant like you would see on some of Royal Caribbean's ships, but I'm not sure if anywhere onboard may have it available at all

[drowsy lynx]

I feel like I've seen buffet sushi in an Ordinary Adventures video, but it's possible it wasn't a Disney bote.

Bunch of us here for 6pm Frozen.

[unique trellis]

I might be lying in my bed at Pop.

Did the group photo at 2 happen?

[drowsy lynx]

It did!

But plenty more to come.

[unique trellis]

Yup, all good.

[haughty crown]

Taking an ice wine break then back to Oga’s

[unique trellis]

Eating at Docking Bay 7.

[rancid raven]

Ooo what is this?

[haughty crown]

Ice wine flight at le celier!

If you come don’t get the ribeye lol

[rancid raven]

I’ll have to put that on my list it looks great

[unique trellis]

Sajas Kyr and Tycer are on Batuu!

[little river]

We're about to go in for savis

It's... Us 2 and I think one more

[small walrus]

oohh, almost private show

[little river]

I'm so tired

[unique trellis]

Same. But what a good night.

[rancid raven]

Well I made it, my bag made it on the next flight.😄 Finally waiting on the Uber to the hotel. What a day. Looking forward to tomorrow. I have had all the fomo watching everyone here today, I can’t wait to be a part of it tomorrow.💙

[drowsy lynx]

This is where the game begins!

[drowsy lynx]

Off to sleep we go. See everybody on board!

[unique trellis]

I’m glad you made it! See you today! 😎

[little river]

Luggage picked up!

[drowsy lynx]

Successfully awake! Phone and watch chargers packed!

Don't forget to fill out health survey emails!

[unique trellis]

Just completed it! Our luggage hasn’t been picked up yet…

[drowsy lynx]

Confusingly, our original calculations said it was cheaper to drive ourselves than to take Disney transportation, but someone yesterday said it was the opposite. Since we're committed, there's probably no point to double checking.

[little river]

Done!

[little river]

Do they charge to park there?

[drowsy lynx]

They do.

I feel like it was sixty-something bucks.

But I thought it was thirty-something bucks per person to bus.

I suppose there's also gas cost. But on the other hand, convenience of being on our own time.

[rancid raven]

Can’t wait!

[drowsy lynx]

Whoops, WhatsApp chat reminds me that I need to make sure we don't get any accidental phone charges while traveling.

[solemn whale]

Safe travels everyone

[unique trellis]

Luggage picked up!

Grogu is ready to go!

[tidal rune]

Name tags. You're welcome. 🙃

[little river]

There are normal people on our bus

[shy crystal]

Not for long!

[unique trellis]

Brilliant!

[haughty crown]

So we buy internet on the ship and turn off cell service right?

[unique trellis]

Hi @rancid raven!

[shy crystal]

Bote internet is probably gonna be garbage. If you don't need it for work or critical updates on something, I would suggest just going without.

[rancid raven]

Hahahaha hi!! 💙💙

[haughty crown]

Honestly just need for text for back home stuff 😅 I heard maybe WhatsApp works w the free one tho? We’ll see

[rancid raven]

I love being spotted💙

[shy crystal]

They sometimes have free email systems too, I think

[fleet elm]

This ship is not bad but I’m not sure where they keep the hyperspace engines. Think we can slice our way into engineering?

[shy crystal]

Tell them that you're from Florida Ballast Water Management and you need to take a look at their seachest pump.

[hexed schooner]

It was good enough to download movies and do email last time

(On the Fantasy 7 day cruise over Xmas)

Raithe and Gaya are sitting next to me at lunch!

[little river]

Bote lunch

[small walrus]

fire-grilled cheese or GTFO

they aren't even blue

[tidal rune]

I tried to sign up but apparently don't have the proper clearance

[shy crystal]

You probably need to be underway.

There are going to be differing regulations in port vs at sea.

[little river]

Woo we just added the Old Fashioned class on the last night

[rancid raven]

Exploring

[little river]

I was able to do it @tidal rune . Are you primary guest?

[drowsy lynx]

On approach vector.

Locking S-foils.

[tidal rune]

Yes. Probably operator error.

[drowsy lynx]

Parked!

[little river]

@drowsy lynx get the coaxium right away, they're going fast

[drowsy lynx]

Is it really $400 now?

[little river]

It might be

[drowsy lynx]

Eeeeeegh.

I'm really not sure what I want to do.

We're on our way, at least.

[little river]

@hexed schooner we're about to start making the rounds dropping off fish extender stuff, I was going to drop off ALL of your stuff if you have a pocket out?

[fleet elm]

Belated but our extender is out

[unique trellis]

You made it!

[little river]

That was a hell of a swag swap

[tidal rune]

Cake

[little river]

Churro. Waffle.

[tidal rune]

Bright Suns 🌞. We have postcards in our room. If you will not be mailing your postcards, I would love them. I collect and trade postcards. 💫Ta’bu e tay💫

[teal thunder]

You're a Churro. Waffle.

DVC Starcruiser Team

[hexed schooner]

Hello Starcruiser friends! If you are on discord and on the wish, I have a Shug door magnet and a rebel coin for you!

[tidal rune]

🧡💫

[little river]

The magnet is amazing

[unique trellis]

I’m in 8560!

[hexed schooner]

Do you already have a Shug magnet?

[little river]

Neck. Lace.

[rancid raven]

What a weekend! I love you all so much. Ta by e tay!

[little river]

I miss you all already , let's go back

[lean grove]

It was totally amazing spending the last few days with you all.

[unique trellis]

I’m so glad to have met everyone!

[zealous quartz]

It was wonderful meeting you all in person!

[drowsy lynx]

We had such a good time!

[little river]

It was even better than expected!

One more sleep and I can go home!

[little river]

I was so confused by a new Instagram follower today. It's Talya (our assistant waiter) she was so sweet

[haughty crown]

Aww that’s sweet!! I wanted to reach out to some of em but don’t think I talked to anyone enough for it to be normal lol

[little river]

Yeah she'd asked for our socials for art so I gave her a business card

[hexed schooner]

I am going to sleep like the dead tonight

[fleet elm]

Same

[unique trellis]

Yes, I’m beat.

I’ve got one kitty (Gertie) on my lap and the other is pointedly ignoring me.

[hexed schooner]

Going from hyperspace lounge till closing, to EPCOT and all the way to San Francisco… it’s been a day!

[little river]

Waiting on the airport shuttle and then hoooooome

[rancid raven]

I love her!

What’s her insta?

[little river]

I'll send it when we get home!

[tidal rune]

I 🧡 y'all. Is that weird?

[hexed schooner]

It was an amazing trip filled with kind, friendly people that all love our Lady H. What’s not to love?!

[drowsy lynx]

Having to leave!

[little river]

We ❤️ you, too, weirdo

@rancid raven I know we met but no one told me they were blast from the discord so which incredible person were you IRL!?

[drowsy lynx]

Yes, I wasn't sure either! Did we manage to give you things?

Server Talya

[rancid raven]

This is me😄

[little river]

Oh youuuuuuu!

I ❤️ you

[rancid raven]

Haha same back at you, putting names to discord user names is a whole thing!

[drowsy lynx]

Floating text above our heads, I'm telling you folks.

[little river]

I also want a plumbob please

[hexed schooner]

We met too!

[rancid raven]

I wish we had more time together!

[hexed schooner]

That’s true for everyone! Heh. I wish we had a week in the Hyperspace Lounge and the Cargo Bay

[rancid raven]

Agreeeee

The check in today for delta is crazyyy.

I’m so excited so many of you are coming to Disneyland for Star Wars nights. Finally I don’t have to fly across the country to see you all!

[tidal rune]

Name tags! All names, socials handles & mug shot.

[rancid raven]

Yes actually can everyone do that?

[hexed schooner]

I’ll be there May 2-6th!

We made a chat for it: https://discord.com/channels/478345594641973248/1211811473353871480

[rancid raven]

Can’t wait! I have my AP and am doing SW night on the 2nd

[zealous quartz]

I know it would be cost-prohibitive and probably a logistical nightmare, but I wish we could have made yearbooks with everyone's name and handle and photo, and then on the last night we could sign each other's yearbooks with corny messages.

[astral topaz]

Don't ever change @zealous quartz

[little river]

We fly in on May 6th and I'm broken hearted!!

[little river]

@hexed schooner look! You broke KEVIN'S heart! His lil heart!!

[lean grove]

I mean we can still make the yearbook

[unique trellis]

That's such a charming idea!

[little river]

Have the best summer! BFFS 4EVA

[rancid raven]

Let’s go cruise again guys I loved it

[haughty crown]

def looking forward to what's next

[little river]

Ok!!

[drowsy lynx]

We're in.

As soon as we're over this cruise crud.

[little river]

Ok yes that

[unique trellis]

There were so many people coughing and sneezing. Including my sister.

But I've tested 3 times now for Covid and come up negative. And feel Ok.

For now...

[rancid raven]

I’m taking off for my last leg back to Los Angeles, I’d happily turn back around and jump back onboard with all of you if we could!!

[little river]

Well, we might see you soon...

[drowsy lynx]

Vaguely menacing.

[hexed schooner]

Noooooo

[little river]

I am back at my desk but not making swag, this is weird

[shy crystal]

The Clarion Call of Maglubiyet will soon sound once more.

[little river]

.. I should probably clean my desk

[drowsy lynx]

Twotone is already making things for Halcy-Con. Somebody please convince her to rest.

[astral topaz]

There is no rest

[little river]

Considering I am planning on setting up my silversmith bench, I cannot do that

like ok yes, my husband is a fabulous artist or whatever but I work in FIRE! and METAL!

[shy crystal]

[zealous quartz]

This was my first time making beaded friendship bracelets and I gotta say: Star Wars/Halcyon quotes use up a LOT of Rs and Ts. I knew I'd probably need a lot of vowels but the Ts ran out first.

I ended up cannibalizing some FOR THE ORDER bracelets so I could make sure that I had ROCKSTAR QUEEN (for Brie) and BEST SAJA (for Justin and Sadie).

[haughty crown]

I loved your bracelets!! The UV light was so fun!!

[zealous quartz]

Thank you! I had a lot of fun making them!

[tidal rune]

I would like to make some bracelets. Can you share your favorite supplies?

[zealous quartz]

So far, I've been relying on whatever I find on Amazon 😂
I did find a pony bead specialty store that sells individual letters... I'll report back on how they are.

[hexed schooner]

I miss you

[little river]

I feel like this cruise was almost more impactful for me because I finally got to be with SO many of my favorite people all at once in person

It gave me a taste of what an all rebels buyout ont he halcyon could have been

[haughty crown]

Exactly!! Starcruiser was great for meeting new people, but wish upon a starcruiser was great for meeting all my friends I’ve made online lol

Also @little river I’ve been wearing the necklace every day since lol I love it so much

[little river]

We ended up giving away the ones we'd made for ourselves, too! haha

BUT NOW I HAVE THE DIAMOND ONE

[hexed schooner]

Necklace?!

[little river]

I gave you necklaces!

they're the crystal ones with the hokey story attached

[hexed schooner]

Ooohhhhhh!!!!!

I haven’t been able to open everything yet. I am fail

[little river]

neither have I!

[drowsy lynx]

I'm really glad we did the Luck of the Force draw

[zealous quartz]

Yes, thank you so much for that!

[tidal rune]

I finally got to hang with all the cool kids.

[tidal rune]

Show me.

[tidal rune]

I haven't opened everything either but think I missed that. 😕

[drowsy lynx]

That's @little river's necklaces when you pull one at random.

[tidal rune]

Uggh.

[little river]

Oh no! Well I have some more here

[unique trellis]

I just did a rough sort of the swag I was given. There are some beautiful items. People are so creative and generous.

[little river]

I should unpack

[haughty crown]

I tried and gave up

[hexed schooner]

I am never going to unpack

Time capsule

[drowsy lynx]

We have plans to take a comprehensive photo on the guest bed, but first we gotta get over this cruise crud.

[tidal rune]

Unpacking was the only productive task I completed today. My suitcases may be put away but now I have piles to contend with. My Plus 1 has yet to start.

[little river]

I have to repack for Disneyland on the 18th haha

I do not have covid!

[drowsy lynx]

That is excellent! How are you feeling?

[little river]

Still dizzy as all get out but otherwise fine! I think it's just a monster case of debarkation syndrome this time

[drowsy lynx]

That's great to hear.

We're still pretty coldy, but at least it's just coldy. Got about 24 hours left to get better.

[rancid raven]

I unpacked and did everything but laundry, that can wait until tomorrow

Looked at all my swag and felt feelings for a bit

[unique trellis]

I have unpacked because I have to repack for a trip to St. Pete, Florida today.

No cruise crud. All covid tests negative. I'm sorry to hear the TwoTones have the cold crud and Aery isn't in tiptop shape, although I'm glad no one has covid.

[drowsy lynx]

Really glad you're good! Just took another test -- still negative, hurrah. There's always that little bit of "what if I took it too soon last time?" paranoia.

I'm going to blame going down the slide, even though we got to use those mind-blowingly cool hand washers right after.

You kind of forget there are non-Covid sickness options after a while.

The funny thing is that when we get sick, it's always at the same time. There's never any indication that one of us got it first and gave it to the other.

[unique trellis]

I know, it's funny.

[unique trellis]

My husband and I rarely get sick at the same time. He can have the worst cold (or I can) but the other remains healthy. It's so weird. The only time I remember both of us having a virus at the some time was May 2022. We were at an event, he got covid first, and I got it a couple of days later--so I'm still not sure if I got it from him or someone at the event.

My sister was sick on the cruise but is on the mend.

[drowsy lynx]

I'm very glad to hear that, too. Wishing her a speedy recovery!

[tidal rune]

No covid. No cruise crud but I do have, "old age syndrome. Just a lot of tiredness" It's not contagious.

[astral topaz]

Didn't catch anything on board but did catch this just now

Get well soon all.

[drowsy lynx]

Catch those beans!

[tidal rune]

My cats are the most innocent beings on the planet. Except when the are scratching my sofa or waking me up at 6am. But other than that they are perfect. ❤️

[ruby pollen]

I've been away from Discord for a little bit
I hope everyone had a fantastic time on the Wish
From all the pictures I've seen it looks like it was a blast

[drowsy lynx]

Great to see you again!

[lean grove]

I managed to unpack the one bag that had the Coaxium box and have no idea where to put it.

[drowsy lynx]

In the engine room?

[lean grove]

Hahaha…it might go in the Star Wars room

[little river]

So for those following along. Dan-O was not present on bote for me to drunkenly be sad at.

[shy crystal]

I definitely wouldn't be sad at him.

[little river]

Sad was how I was going to approach passive aggressive

[shy crystal]

I would go straight to taunting.

[little river]

I am trying to maintain a little professionalism until everyone else cuts ties lol

LOOK AT ME I AM THE DAN-O NOW!

ok no

[drowsy lynx]

I swear I was going to bring him up to SJM, but then I never had a chance to talk to her again after meeting at that safety drill.

I don't know why autocorrect occasionally changes "the" to "that" for me.

[little river]

because it was that bad

you know, THAT safety drill

[shy crystal]

Haha, lifeboat driiiiillll

[little river]

we had to go through a kitchen to a bak dining area which was SO crowded

[zealous quartz]

I was so busy thinking "Wait, is this the Worlds of Marvel restaurant? Why does it look like a convention dining hall???" that I couldn't concentrate on the actual safety briefing.

[drowsy lynx]

The weird part is that I guess they cut the story moment where we have to reassemble there at the end?

[tidal rune]

Was that the person you mentioned about taking $$? I just saw a FB post, someone calling him out about patches due in October of last year.

[little river]

It was, where did you see that?

[zealous quartz]

I just feel bad for all the people who didn't stick around for the event where Donald force-pulls the chandelier towards everyone gathered in the Grand Hall.

[drowsy lynx]

And I missed Pirate Dale singing "Away".

[tidal rune]

Had to have been one of the selling groups. Now I have something to do this afternoon, find that post.

[little river]

Ok so if someone were making, theoretically, sterling silver bracelets with semi precious gems like amethyst and peridot around the $50-70 price point, would starcruiser people want to see them with words like Gaya or MYSLYW engraved/stamped or at that price point would you rather see them with no words but maybe a small CSL logo?

Materials are pricey so I want to make sure I'm getting the design right

Theoretically
