10/24/2009 Bash on the Boat - Thread #1

[JLDSMD]

***************
This is Thread #1 of many. Please check the first page of the Cruise Meets thead for the latest thread titled "10/24/2009 Bash On the Boat - I'm with B.O.B.
***********************

O.K. I'll be back here to update this post periodically. I will try to keep important information up here for all to reference as well as for all our new friends who come to cruise with us.

We have dubbed this cruise "The Bash on the Boat" because so many people are celebrating birthdays or anniversaries on this cruise. You will also see "KK2" in the title. As you will read, many of us just sailed together on the 10/20/07 Western Cruise. So, with many of us returning here, we are dubbing this KK2. For those of you who didn't sail with us, please don't feel that you are not part of the group. We are a very open and welcoming/friendly bunch. We had such a great cruise last time, but feel it will be even better this time. Come along and enjoy the fun. We will get off-topic many times over the next 2 years, but it is a great way to get to know everyone.

First, here is the list of Characters:

arielhead = Tanya and DH with their DD (will be 14) and DS (will be 9). West Virginia.
B9erSteve = Steve and Laura. They will be traveling with their DS and DD. California.
CarrianneB = Carrianne and Rob with their 2 DS who will be 7 and 9. Wisconsin.
Cheryl N. WI = Cheryl and Al with their DD who will be 15. Wisconsin.
cntkg1 = Nancy and Chuck (a.k.a. Charlie Tuna). Wisconsin.
Disgrits = Paige and Rob. Virginia.
DISNEYDUET = Shelley and Woody. Virginia.
Dyerneeds/Tart Annihilator = Mike and Robin. Ohio.
goofyfreak = Lori and Scott with their 3 kids (also extended family). Virginia.
GOS = Heather and Rick. England.
hockeychic = Kim and her DD who will be 17. Canada.
JLDSMD = that is me, Jeff. I'm traveling with my wife, Suz and our DS who will be 9. Wisconsin.
Karen Mouse = Karen and Neil and their DS who will also be 9. England.
medicalman = Sean and Cath with their DD. England.
millerpjm = Jen and Pete with their DS who will be 6. Wisconsin.
minnieandmickey = Becky and Sean. California.
Oybolshoi = Brenda and Jason. Missouri.
ST Cruisers = Tony and Stacy. Wisconsin.
Team Fun Pants = Kristin and Jesse. Wisconsin.
Timon/Darkrobe = Cass and Rob. Canada.
tinkerbellmom1 = Sheri and Pat with 2 DS (17 & 15 at time of sailing). Nevada.
Walt & Di = Walt and Di (pretty easy to remember that one). Texas.
Verandah Man = Andy (a DIS board legend) and Hazel. New Jersey.

I will try to update that list as we go. If I forgot anyone or if you want different info posted, please PM me. I will NOT be putting room numbers up on this post.

[B9erSteve]

Jeff! you beat me to the start of the thread!


I'm booked!

I even decided to bring the kids along!

We went for the same cabin assignment that we had before we were upgraded last time

2606!

I was so hoping for the Eastern. After seeing Jeff's incredible pictures, I really wanted to go. (although a double dip would have been nice.)

It's official! I am so excited!

[B9erSteve]

A little update on myself, since I have not been posting too much lately. I finished my Christmas Decorations on Dec 1st. And opening night was a fantastic sucess! I just now looked at the video from Halloween and I'll probably edit that and have it up on youtube within a few days. Laura and the kids are doing very well. I'm hoping that I can get Laura online more for this trip as she knows quite a few of you personally this time.

I was hoping for Eastern too! I really wanted to go to completely different ports (a double-dip still goes to Cozumel, which we've done).

Yeay!

[B9erSteve]

BTW,

Funny thing about the cruise being released today. Laura told me that Leah specifically prayed last night that we would go on the "Mickey Ship" again. She said she needed to give Mickey some more kisses and hugs.

[cntkg1]

Looks like it's cabin 5024 for us!!!!:cheer2:

[cntkg1]

Hi Steve!! It'll be nice chatting with you for the next two years again. I hope to get to meet up with you onboard more often this time.:thumbsup2

[Walt & Di]

Walt and DI are booked...:thumbsup2

Thanks again Jeff :goodvibes

Thanks Karen with the Info on rooms, we changed from 2576 to 5524 (last SPH room of the six available), so neighbors we are

Walt and Di:cool1:

[millerpjm]

Hi Steve!! It'll be nice chatting with you for the next two years again. I hope to get to meet up with you onboard more often this time.:thumbsup2

You bring up a good point Nancy...I felt like I didn't get to hang out with KKers as much as I wanted to - and the meet at the Mickey pool was a bit rushed for me (I had to leave early to get my boys our of the pool and dressed for the muster).

Since we have an extra sea day, should we "plan" a party sometime?

[minnieandmickey]

Looks like it's cabin 5024 for us!!!!:cheer2:

Hey neighbor we are in 5022!

We're booked too! Celebrating our 40th birthdays!:banana:

[Karen Mouse]

Is it too early to start making my door magnets?:lmao:

[Karen Mouse]

Hey neighbor we are in 5022!

Hey Becky - you're sandwiched between me and Nancy:lmao:

Neil will be celebrating his 40th too

[Karen Mouse]

f.o.:lmao: - sorry - I just had to steal the first one:lmao:

[millerpjm]

Is it too early to start making my door magnets?:lmao:

Maybe just a bit....

Although I'm glad I saved all the clipart I found online! Although I'm sure I'll be looking for more!


Some artsy type needs to change or modify our "logo" too!

[Karen Mouse]

Some artsy type needs to change or modify our "logo" too!

Maybe we could beg Cass to alter it for us - she's a whizz at that sort of stuff.

We need a big "2" on it:goodvibes

[Karen Mouse]

Hope this helps someone - got it off another thread:thumbsup2


5020 and 5520 have a great view and are the non-connecting rooms. 5022 and 5522 also have a clear view, however, these are connecting rooms and may have more noise (depends on the family next to you!) 5024 and 5524 have the most obstructions.

Hey Jen, did you get your Cat 8's on Deck 5? We might have the whole front of Deck 5 before we know it. :rotfl2:

[Verandah Man]

Just had a quick corn dog for lunch, real healthy I know..................:lmao:

Hazel and I will be using this cruise to celebrate our 34th Wedding Anniversary on sail date 10/24/09. Still not sure, if our then 19 year old DD, will be joining us for this cruise.

Gotta get ready to head back to work, I still have a few more meters to get read this afternoon.

[JLDSMD]

Sorry about that Steve.

Congrats on getting on. You'll love the Eastern.

I will put some of my pictures up in my first post when I get a chance. I think that will be a nice welcoming to all the new posters.

Cool!

No, our Cat 8's are on deck 7, same as last time. My mom really liked being up closer to deck 9 and the pools, etc.

I didn't think there was much of a chance of getting SPH rooms, and it looks like I was right!

I vote yes on the F.O's. I don't have an opinion on the milestones except if we do them, they should be on an individual basis. No teams. :thumbsup2

Anytime Andy!

You do so much for others on the DIS it is nice to do something for you.

Glad you will be joining us.

For those of you on KK1, Nancy and I made a hard push when Andy dropped his Repo next year to get him on the KK1 with us. The dates didn't work out due to Angelina's Home Coming, but Andy was there to get the pictures of the Magic for us as we were leaving and in Cozumel. Thanks again for that Andy.

[JLDSMD]

:cool1: :cool1: We're in 6567, y'all!!!:cool1: :cool1:

Paige and Rob

EXCELLENT!!!

Paige, sure you don't want to get a room on Deck 5 Forward? I hear that is where the party will be. :rotfl2:

This group is really starting to come together.

For all of you who are new to the KK group, please just jump right in and join us. Don't feel that we are a closed group. We welcome everyone.

[JLDSMD]

What the H@ll - FO

[JLDSMD]

Cool!

No, our Cat 8's are on deck 7, same as last time. My mom really liked being up closer to deck 9 and the pools, etc.

I didn't think there was much of a chance of getting SPH rooms, and it looks like I was right!

To be honest, my first action was to secure my room (got my first choice). Then I posted on the "old" thread about the trip being open. Lastly was to start this thread.

[JLDSMD]

Are we still trying for full pages?

I think I have 11 more posts to go to get one. :lmao:

Sorry, inside joke.

[JLDSMD]

I vote yes on the F.O's. I don't have an opinion on the milestones except if we do them, they should be on an individual basis. No teams. :thumbsup2

I agree - NO TEAMS. (but for the record, WI kicked butt last time :cheer2: :rotfl: )

And individually, I don't know who had the most. :rolleyes1

Underdog will be happy with the FO's. Although, since LSU is playing OSU, maybe we should do the LO and he can get a hat for that. :rotfl2:

BTW Mike, maybe get a new DIS name for this cruise if you guys are joining us. You definitely should go by "Underdog".

[disgrits]

EXCELLENT!!!

I have been debating the Deck 5 SPH rooms for the last 4-5 days. I decided pretty much last night that I should go mid ship. I was seasick on the night we rocked on KK1, so I am scared to get sick again. I am "playing it safe" with midship....

Moot point really, though. I spent all morning volunteering in Alex's class and going to the commissary, so by the time I saw that the staterooms were available, they weren't.:lmao:

Y'all should've heard me on the phone with the DCL lady. After I got everything squared away, she said, "Is there anything else I can help with?" I started laughing and said unless you can get me on that Panama Canal cruise for free, I will let you go, so I can hang up and started screaming because I am so excited!" She laughed and told me to have a magical day.....:thumbsup2

[Dyerneeds]

Sorry, inside joke.

oh youre not getting a full page underdog has anything to say about it.
:laughing: :laughing:

and you cant beat the price.(underdog is a big spender eh?)

[B9erSteve]

Hi Steve!! It'll be nice chatting with you for the next two years again. I hope to get to meet up with you onboard more often this time.:thumbsup2

Yes, Nancy, I am very happy to be here with friends!

I'm making it a priority this time to hang more with the group. My kids will be older and Won't need us around quite so much.

Walt and DI are booked...:thumbsup2

Thanks again Jeff :goodvibes

Thanks Karen with the Info on rooms, we changed from 2576 to 5524 (last room of the six available), so neighbors we are

That's a great idea. I'm all for it. I'll even help plan it.

Hey Jen, did you get your Cat 8's on Deck 5? We might have the whole front of Deck 5 before we know it. :rotfl2:

That is great! I almost went for one of them but at the last minute changed to Cat 9. Laura reminded me, what you said about probably not getting upgraded from the SPH. I don't really expect another upgrade (lightining not striking twice and all) but I didn't really put myself out of the running either.

:cool1: :cool1: We're in 6567, y'all!!!:cool1: :cool1:

Paige and Rob

Alright Paige and Rob!

EXCELLENT!!!

Alright Mike! I'm about as amped up for the cruise as I am for the company! Another thing that I'd like to get together is linking dining ressies for any who are interested. We can have a late crowd and an early crowd. I really would have like to dine with KK'ers last time.

[Dyerneeds]

I agree - NO TEAMS. (but for the record, WI kicked butt last time :cheer2: :rotfl: )



well i would hope so as half the state was on the cruise.:laughing:
maybe since its so early that 3/4 of WI will be on this cruise.:lmao:

[B9erSteve]

well, I'm off to work before I'm late. Cya'll

that linking of dining really worked out well.:thumbsup2
we are still undecided about our dining time this cruise , so we booked early just to be safe as i guess its easier to change to late.

[Dyerneeds]

No FO! :rotfl2:

[disgrits]

Karen--Do you have Linda's phone number? If you do, maybe you can call her about KK2? I know she is not on the computer much these days. I would hate for them to miss out. I have PM'd her, but I don't know how much time she has to check her PMs. What do you think? Heather may have her number as well.....

[JLDSMD]

Yes, let me add -

UNLESS YOU ARE 100% SURE YOU WANT LATE DINING, BOOK EARLY. YOU CAN GET LATE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS LATER. DON'T LOSE OUT ON GETTING EARLY!

:cool1:

I don't think that will apply with the Onboard Discount and OBC. I think it has to be for NEW bookings.

I know the Disney Visa OBC doesn't apply to onboard bookings.

But, take what you can!

[Karen Mouse]

Woo Hoo! - this is post 3000!

Fab! - Paige is coming too!:banana: - we need to get together more this time Sistah Paige! - I didnt see enough of you in October - apart from when we were ruining your romantic dinner in Palo:rotfl:


Hey Karen! You'll hear no snoring from us at night for sure now. I believe both Chuck and Sean have c-paps!

It's official! We have our own KK2 Wing on the ship! :woohoo:

Its just Neil that snores like a pig then:rolleyes1


O.K., let's get the ground rules set for this thread.

Are we doing F.O.'s again?

What about "milestone" posts?

Ya know ya wanna!;)

We're on early too. It was great having a big bunch of us all really close together.

UPDATE: Castaway Club Members who book a 2009 cruise between now and December 10 get a $50 onboard credit.

Am I a castaway club member? - is that instead of the $25 I got in October?

Karen--Do you have Linda's phone number? If you do, maybe you can call her about KK2? I know she is not on the computer much these days. I would hate for them to miss out. I have PM'd her, but I don't know how much time she has to check her PMs. What do you think? Heather may have her number as well.....


Nope, She has mine, but I dont have hers - I know Heather has, and I think Chris may have it too. All the sph have gone, but she'll have plenty of other rooms to choose from. She went with a cat 11 last time. What cat did you choose this time Paige?

[cntkg1]

Karen, I have Linda's cell phone number. Would you like me to pm it to you?

Also, can we start a running list of cabin numbers? I'll start:

Nancy & Chuck (cntkg1) Cabin 5024

[millerpjm]

I don't think that will apply with the Onboard Discount and OBC. I think it has to be for NEW bookings.

I know the Disney Visa OBC doesn't apply to onboard bookings.

But, take what you can!

Jeff, I think someone on the main board said they got this when they transferred ressies...

I've already called DCL 3 times dirung work (and posted a bunch 'o times on the DISboard) so I will have to wait until tonight to check on this. I know I didn't give a CC member number because I don't have one, so I'm sure it's not on there now, but it will be worth a call tonight to get it added if possible.

[millerpjm]

WOW...this thread is moving slow! I guess no one's excited about KK2?:lmao:

I think the members of KK1 should divvy up the chores in preparation for KK2.

To do:

- plan DISmeet
- organize DIStag
- plan a party
- design or update logo
- add a new "who's going" table to the Yahoo Groups for KK2
- try to get private wine/beer/margarita/smoothie tastings?

What did I forget?

I will volunteer to plan the party since it was my idea...

[Karen Mouse]

Karen, I have Linda's cell phone number. Would you like me to pm it to you?

Also, can we start a running list of cabin numbers? I'll start:

Nancy & Chuck (cntkg1) Cabin 5024

Yes please Nancy! - I'll call her tomorrow:thumbsup2

Jeff, I think someone on the main board said they got this when they transferred ressies...

I've already called DCL 3 times dirung work (and posted a bunch 'o times on the DISboard) so I will have to wait until tonight to check on this. I know I didn't give a CC member number because I don't have one, so I'm sure it's not on there now, but it will be worth a call tonight to get it added if possible.

Oh geez! - I dont have to call again do I? - I'll email them (again) - what do I have to ask for? - a CC member number? - will they know what I'm talking about?

Hey! - I just thought - no 75 day booking rubbish for us this time - its 90 days baby!:cool1: :cool1:

Hey! - I just thought - no 75 day booking rubbish for us this time - its 90 days baby!:cool1: :cool1:

It's called the Castaway Club - basically anyone who's cruised before gets a number. They were saying on the main board there's a $50 OBC for CC members for booking.

If nothing else, my mom should get it because she didn't transfer her ressie - she booked on board for Oct. 08, and may still go on that one too. I'm a bit jealous ;)

[JLDSMD]

I changed the Title of our thread to just read "10/24/2009 Eastern Cruise".

I don't want to scare anyone away with KK2 or Reunion (thanks for the heads up Nancy).

Is everyone O.K. with that? I you think there is a better way to title it, please post it here. I can change it to whatever y'all (glad you're joing us Paige) want.

Also, if you want something added to the first post, let me know. I will set it up as a summary post for those new to the thread. I was thinking of starting the thread with a ficticious name like Konked Kruiser and then giving several people the password for it.

Unfortunately, we're now 4-5 pages into this thread. :scared1: (btw, I think 40,000 posts will be nothing when we're done with this one)

[disgrits]

Just got off the phone with DCL---$50 Castaway Club OBC had already been applied to my stateroom--in addition to the $200 OBC I got when we booked onboard!!:cool1: :cool1:

Call DCL, folks. Get your CC OBC!:woohoo:

[JLDSMD]

FO #2.

Watch in 22 months it will be like FO #2,000

[JLDSMD]

Oh sure, thanks a lot Paige. Ruin my FO. Fine. :snooty:

Do we have to call or is it automatic?

[disgrits]

She said mine was already in there, so I think it must be automatic. If it were me, I would call just in case. You know, they messed up Nancy's earlier today, so it might be worth the double-check.:thumbsup2

[Neil Mouse]

Hello everyone - Karen's forced me on here to post!

[millerpjm]

She said mine was already in there, so I think it must be automatic. If it were me, I would call just in case. You know, they messed up Nancy's earlier today, so it might be worth the double-check.:thumbsup2

I'll probably still have to call, since I didn't give a CC number or anything...

Actually, I'll probably have to call, because it will drive me nuts unless I do!

[disgrits]

Neil, Neil, orange peel! Sorry "Young Ones" flashback.....:scared1:

HI NEIL!

:wave2:

[disgrits]

Oh yeah, I forgot....I stole Jeff's FO!!!!:rotfl:

[disgrits]

Any more KKers out there getting ready to book? Rose? Cass (change your mind)? Sean? Heather? Lindy Loo? Missy? Lori? BRENDA?????

and anyone else out there....C'mon it'll be so much fun!!!

[millerpjm]

Ok, here's a question about possibly linking ressies for dinner....

What happens if, say, all of us link ressies? How do they decide who's where for seatings at tables? How would that possibly work?

I'd love to be by everyone for dinner, but I do already have my mom linked with me, and some of Pete's family may book too. I don't know if we'd get scattered around.

[JLDSMD]

Hello everyone - Karen's forced me on here to post!

Hi Neil. Glad you came to join the madness. Can't wait to cruise with you guys again.

As much as you liked that water on the Western Cruise, wait until you see the Eastern. I will be putting some pictures up in the first post over the next couple of days. It is just fabulous on the Eastern.

[millerpjm]

Oh yeah, I forgot....I stole Jeff's FO!!!!:rotfl:

I saw that...and giggled...:goodvibes

[cntkg1]

Hello everyone - Karen's forced me on here to post!

Yeah!!!! a new KK2er!! Welcome Neil. (Love the screen name!) :rotfl2:

[JLDSMD]

oh youre not getting a full page underdog has anything to say about it.
:laughing: :laughing:
we have rebooked. gty cat 12. it works well for us.:thumbsup2
and you cant beat the price.(underdog is a big spender eh?)

Mike,

There are 8 sideways Cat 11's (talk to Nancy about these - Kristin had one for the 10/20/07 cruise) on Deck 5 Forward.

They are $200 more on the DCL site, so $180 with the 10% onboard discount.

[JLDSMD]

I have to laugh, KK1 had 3 posts on the first day. It took 3 months to get 6 pages.

We're doomed here. :rotfl2:

[Walt & Di]

Hi Neil. Glad you came to join the madness. Can't wait to cruise with you guys again.

Agree with you Jeff, after our first western, the snorkeling is the best on Eastern, as well as the ports are more friendly than Western....:thumbsup2

Plus we get an extra day at sea to hold KK parties...:banana:

Neil, Neil, orange peel! Sorry "Young Ones" flashback.....:scared1:

Welcome to the thread, Neil!:cool1:

HI NEIL!

This sort of happened in October - Jeff and I were table mates, but when we went to dinner on the first evening they had got it wrong and put half of Cass's group on our table instead. We just switched and they sorted it out for the following nights.

Yeah!!!! a new KK2er!! Welcome Neil. (Love the screen name!) :rotfl2:

I picked it:lmao: - If Ellis joins he'll be Ellis Mouse - Neil just said "I am NOT wearing a t shirt with "Neil mouse" on the back":lmao: :lmao:

We'll get to 50,000 for sure:cool1:

[Karen Mouse]

I know its early days but is anyone interested in playing distag again this time round?

Ellis absolutely loved it - he still talks about it now!

Maybe we could go with a theme this time - eg - an xmas ornament for the tree - (small enough to pack and brings back loads of happy memories when you hang it up) or anything else anyone can think of.:confused3

I'd like to play if anyone else would like to:confused3

[millerpjm]

And now you had your turn stealing mine. Thanks Jen.

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

This just made my day! Oh, and that little business of booking KK2!

I like your idea, Karen. And if we do a Xmas ornament, it would take less space in the luggage, especially for the UKers. We could probably have more than 20 of us doing it; enough to fill a KK tree at that Christmas....

So, how many of you were linked on KK1?

I really should be working...I really should be working....

Me! Count me in!

We've got loads of time to think of a theme, although I really did like all the different things I got in my tagbags!

I think we had 6 groups linked - maybe even more? We were all sat at about 4 or 5 talbes all close to each other. It worked out brilliantly.

Me! Count me in!

We're up to 3 taggers:thumbsup2

I know you'll all think I'm mad but I've got my Passporter out:rotfl2:

I only put it away a month ago:rotfl2:

I need to look up my SPH cat 10 room;) and the new ports:thumbsup2

[Hockeychic]

Wow, just booked this and I didn't expect to see a roll call already this is awesome!!!!

Just myself and DD she will be 17 by then. We have tried 3 years to get a mother/daughter only cruise and I think we finally are going to do it.

We tried for Oct 08 DD but DH and DS decided to come with us, so this one we aren't going to tell them about:rolleyes1 well OK DH will see the CC bill but all is good.

Look forward to chatting over the next 2 years:eek:

Hi Kim and welcome! - Looking forward to chatting with you over the next 20 months. A lot of us cruised together in October - just jump in and join inthe fun - we're a mad bunch but very friendly:goodvibes

[readyalready]

Holy cow, you guys are fast.

I didn't catch the release until lunch and figured some travel agent got all the SPHs, no, it was the KK cruisers! We had connecting on the Halloween cruise this year and loved them, so if any of you change your minds let me know.

I just talked myself up to connecting 7s for $200 more than 8s, not ready to go back to deck 2.

I do like the ornament idea, however it may not be easy to do as it gets closer to the date. I know WE could all go shopping now, but skip ahead a year and a half (oh I WISH)...it's August, we're all trying to start getting our DIStag stuff started, and there's no Christmas decorations in the stores yet. This might be harder (or more expensive) for newer cruisers to do because ornaments aren't "in season" per se.

Am I totally off on this?:confused:

[millerpjm]

I'm signing out for tonight - I'll catch up in the morning - hope lots of others have booked by the time I log in tomorrow:thumbsup2

Yikes! Such peer pressure!! :confused3

[Hockeychic]

Thank you all for the welcome. Boy I hope I can keep up with this thread.

Is there a roll call list anywhere so I can try and keep track of everyone:scared:

My very first ever cruise was DCL back in Oct 05, and we have strayed a bit and have done a few other cruises, with one booked in March as well. Then back to DCL for Oct 08 and 09.....lucky for me DD's high school has a break the last week of October so a great time to cruise.

[disgrits]

Jeff, I have so much to do right now, and all I want to do is "chat."

It would be nice if we all lived a little closer...Wouldn't it be great to have a big bowl of chili and chat about the trip? I have chili in the slow cooker. Pick up Suz and DS and come on over. Stop by for Nancy and the gang....:banana:

I can try to keep a list going in the first post. I will add that to my list of things to do. If I forget anyone, let me know.

I will put screen name and real name, where everyone is from and type of kids (if any) and their ages. I won't put the room numbers on the first page.

Does this sound o.k. to everyone else?

You know, they have specials on airfare MKE-BWI every so often. I was thinking of coming down that way maybe around the end of May, beginning of June. That would be too cool to meet up down that way.

Would also love an Ocean City, MD DIS meet. That place is cool.

Post #1 is updated.

Everyone take a look and let me know if I missed anyone or if the info needs to be changed.

I just remembered that I didn't put everyone's location down. Maybe we should leave that out since most people have it under their DIS ID anyways. Thoughts?

[Verandah Man]

Welcome Andy, Hazel and maybe Angelina!! How about your mom, Andy?



Thanks for the welcome Nancy............;)

I haven't even had a chance to talk to my mom yet about this cruise...........:laughing:

It will slow down in a little while Andy. The KKers were anxious to get this thread started, so I think that explains a lot of the posts. We'll slow down for awhile but pick back up in time. Look for this thread to go 50,000 posts or more for sure with this group. :scared1:

Just looked at the other date we were considering for 2009 (8/15/09). It was one of the Tortola cruises. It was over $450 more for a Cat 10. Not sure if they had a price increase today or not. Needless to say, I don't think we'll be switching. So you are all stuck with me again. :rotfl2:

[Verandah Man]

I can try to keep a list going in the first post. I will add that to my list of things to do. If I forget anyone, let me know.

I will put screen name and real name, where everyone is from and type of kids (if any) and their ages. I won't put the room numbers on the first page.

Does this sound o.k. to everyone else?



Sounds like a winner to me Jeff!!! :thumbsup2

[Verandah Man]

Me too....chili sounds great! It's in the 20's here today...



Cold and windy here today as well, I walked around reading meters all day and the winchill factor was in the teens and low 20's with winds gusting over 30mph. Hazel just fixed me a nice hot bowl of Chicken Corn Chowder soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Boy, did they both hit the spot!!! :goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes

I guess everyone and their brother must be on the boards right now, running very S-L-O-W for me for the past hour............:confused3

It's been running slow all day Andy. I'm sure with the new dates out, everyone is on here in some form.

[Wine Diva]

I do like the ornament idea, however it may not be easy to do as it gets closer to the date. I know WE could all go shopping now, but skip ahead a year and a half (oh I WISH)...it's August, we're all trying to start getting our DIStag stuff started, and there's no Christmas decorations in the stores yet. This might be harder (or more expensive) for newer cruisers to do because ornaments aren't "in season" per se.

Am I totally off on this?:confused:

Congratulations on Post #100! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[Wine Diva]

Yes, please come cruise with us! :banana:

I would love to do a repeat cruise, but I am not sure it is in the cards for us--:sad2: Of course, we only booked KK1 in February so who knows? :confused3

[Wine Diva]

Jeff, I have so much to do right now, and all I want to do is "chat."

It would be nice if we all lived a little closer...Wouldn't it be great to have a big bowl of chili and chat about the trip? I have chili in the slow cooker. Pick up Suz and DS and come on over. Stop by for Nancy and the gang....:banana:

I'm making chili tonight too and cornbread!!

[B9erSteve]

FYI from the main cruise board (WebmasterRegina)....


UPDATE: Castaway Club Members who book a 2009 cruise between now and December 10 get a $50 onboard credit.

:cool1:

When are we getting our number anyway?


WOW...this thread is moving slow! I guess no one's excited about KK2?:lmao:

I think the members of KK1 should divvy up the chores in preparation for KK2.

To do:

- plan DISmeet
- organize DIStag
- plan a party
- design or update logo
- add a new "who's going" table to the Yahoo Groups for KK2
- try to get private wine/beer/margarita/smoothie tastings?

What did I forget?

I will volunteer to plan the party since it was my idea...

sounds like a great start.

Just got off the phone with DCL---$50 Castaway Club OBC had already been applied to my stateroom--in addition to the $200 OBC I got when we booked onboard!!:cool1: :cool1:

Call DCL, folks. Get your CC OBC!:woohoo:

Now I need to call again! That's fantastic news!

I have to laugh, KK1 had 3 posts on the first day. It took 3 months to get 6 pages.

We're doomed here. :rotfl2:

Looking like another hot thread!

I know its early days but is anyone interested in playing distag again this time round?

Ellis absolutely loved it - he still talks about it now!

Maybe we could go with a theme this time - eg - an xmas ornament for the tree - (small enough to pack and brings back loads of happy memories when you hang it up) or anything else anyone can think of.:confused3

I'd like to play if anyone else would like to:confused3

I'd like to. I think my wife will kill me for adding ornaments to the tree. Our tree is VERY full!

Wow, just booked this and I didn't expect to see a roll call already this is awesome!!!!

Just myself and DD she will be 17 by then. We have tried 3 years to get a mother/daughter only cruise and I think we finally are going to do it.

We tried for Oct 08 DD but DH and DS decided to come with us, so this one we aren't going to tell them about:rolleyes1 well OK DH will see the CC bill but all is good.

Look forward to chatting over the next 2 years:eek:

Kim

Welcome Kim. If you're up for chatting for 2 years then you'll fit in just fine around here.

I can try to keep a list going in the first post. I will add that to my list of things to do. If I forget anyone, let me know.

I will put screen name and real name, where everyone is from and type of kids (if any) and their ages. I won't put the room numbers on the first page.

Does this sound o.k. to everyone else?

This is a great idea!

It will slow down in a little while Andy. The KKers were anxious to get this thread started, so I think that explains a lot of the posts. We'll slow down for awhile but pick back up in time. Look for this thread to go 50,000 posts or more for sure with this group. :scared1:

You were just about right on with your prediction last time, so I have no reason to doubt that you will be correct this time!

I sent you another PM. You might find it interesting.

as you know shes talking to you right now

[minnieandmickey]

I don't think that will apply with the Onboard Discount and OBC. I think it has to be for NEW bookings.

I know the Disney Visa OBC doesn't apply to onboard bookings.

But, take what you can!

I just thought - I should have booked a room for 4 :scared1: - where is Planky gonna sleep:lmao: - oh yes! - he'll be back too;) - no green thong this time though:lmao:
Are we all bringing Planky's?

Hello everyone - Karen's forced me on here to post!

Holy cow, you guys are fast.

I didn't catch the release until lunch and figured some travel agent got all the SPHs, no, it was the KK cruisers! We had connecting on the Halloween cruise this year and loved them, so if any of you change your minds let me know.

I just talked myself up to connecting 7s for $200 more than 8s, not ready to go back to deck 2.

Is this the crazy lot that Chris (Fat English Gent) told us so much about? My DS and I were on the second leg of Chris's back to back adventure! We promised him to join this one... :goodvibes

Dreams is offering double OBC ($200 for cat 7) and the $50 for CC members kind of make up for not rebooking onboard. :rolleyes1

Well, with all you grouped on deck 5 Forward, makes it easy for Dis Tag :lmao:

Hello all!

We were actually on the 10/20/07 cruise with the Konked Kruisers but we didn't join in. I posted on your old thread early on, but then I blinked and I was 30,000 posts behind.

Our group will be myself, DW, DS(11), DS(9), & DD(5)

I'm looking forward to doing the Eastern. We have done the Western and are doing the special Western double dip in October 2008.

I'll drop by a little more often this time.

[Timon]

For those of you who asked about linking dining ressies...

We had 10 different ressies linked and while we had some glitches the first night (half of our party were at one table while half were at another) after it was all settled, it was great! We got to see several KKers every night!

Some people had requested certain things (like their own table just to themselves) so what I did was send a VERY detailed email to my TA, with all names, cabin numbers, ressie numbers and all special requests.

The funny thing was when the online ressies opened, all of us were linked, so when I registered Kira in Flounders, it asked me who (of all those ressies linked) we would like to be able to pick up Kira! :lmao:

I would definitely do the linking again, that was a lot of fun just seeing each other even just to say hi :wave2: every single night :thumbsup2

we started it a ways before hand and look how much we already have!

[Tart Annihilator]

Walt and DI are booked...:thumbsup2

Thanks again Jeff :goodvibes

Thanks Karen with the Info on rooms, we changed from 2576 to 5524 (last room of the six available), so neighbors we are

Walt and Di:cool1:

I can't believe you desserted us. :lmao: :lmao: Just kidding... You get a good deal, you gotta go for it. :thumbsup2

[Tart Annihilator]

Jeff! you beat me to the start of the thread!


I'm booked!

I even decided to bring the kids along!

We went for the same cabin assignment that we had before we were upgraded last time

2606!

I was so hoping for the Eastern. After seeing Jeff's incredible pictures, I really wanted to go. (although a double dip would have been nice.)

It's official! I am so excited!

Well Steve... It looks like we're on deck 2 together. I hear we have to bring our own oars this time. :lmao:

We booked early enough... hopefully we'll get another upgrade. :thumbsup2 :)

[Walt & Di]

I can't believe you desserted us. :lmao: :lmao: Just kidding... You get a good deal, you gotta go for it. :thumbsup2

Blame Di..:lmao:

She wants to participate in DisTag...:confused3

So I had to protect myself from having to go to deck 5 to deliver DisTag from deck 2....;)

Come and join us on Deck 5... Closer to Deck 4 to walk in the mornings.:goodvibes

Walt :cool1:

[minnieandmickey]

:lmao: Believe me, we know what that is like. We were on deck 2 last cruise and everyone else was on deck 6. How the heck did I gain 6 lbs walking those stairs as much as we did?

I'd change that ressie right now if I could, but I can't get ahold of our travel agent until tomorrow. I'll see what we can do because that Deck 4 walk I need badly. I didn't walk at all the last time.

We'll PM you and keep you posted. :thumbsup2

We might stay a few days in Florida after the cruise. We own a vacation home in Lake County, about 90 minutes from the port area.

Ok - we took the 2007 cruise, are signed up for the same week in 2008 (10/24-11/1) and am sure we'll want in for 2009.

My question is should we book now, or wait for the onboard discount in 2008. what is the better deal?


Decisions, decisions.

HELP!:cool1:

Ok, just in case we change our minds (KKers are very persuasive :rolleyes: ) I put in a request for a quote for 6134. :thumbsup2

Dreams is offering double OBC ($200 for cat 7) and the $50 for CC members kind of make up for not rebooking onboard. :rolleyes1

Well, with all you grouped on deck 5 Forward, makes it easy for Dis Tag :lmao:

And hey, I can always pray for a hurricane so we can get diverted :lmao: :rotfl:

I won't doubt that our luck from the last cruise may run out. Ask Chris how his second cruise was. I heard it was rough. :scared1:

Either way, glad you decided to hop onboard. Hope it works out for you.

[JLDSMD]

Ok - we took the 2007 cruise, are signed up for the same week in 2008 (10/24-11/1) and am sure we'll want in for 2009.

My question is should we book now, or wait for the onboard discount in 2008. what is the better deal?


Decisions, decisions.

HELP!:cool1:

Hi Carrianne,

Where are you from in WI?

It depends on how much the cruise goes up. You may want to book it now and when you get on board, see what the rebooking price is. If the rates go up by more than 10%, keep the current ressie. You can always drop the one you book now. Or, if the rates didn't go up much, have the CM apply it to your ressie.

Were you on the 10/20/07 with us?

Jeff

[CarrianneB]

Thanks for the insight.

I was on the 10/20 with you - but I hadn't gotten on the boards until right before and right after. So we we kept to ourselves a bit. Sociable but not really hanging with anyone.

BUT, that can change:cool1: .

We had an awesome time on the 10/20 cruise. My first ever, and frankly it has spoiled me.

Now I booked my first through *****************s, but are the deals better through someone else.

I have a huge desire to get booked for 2009!!

[millerpjm]

An FO on Page 13? That's unlucky.

Hey Jen, I sent you a PM.

Got it:)

Hey, you're just trying to get me back for stealing your FO earlier today!

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[Verandah Man]

Actually you had one back on page 9 or something like that, you just didn't claim it.



My Bad, I was so busy trying to catch up on the thread, I didn't even notice..........:lmao:

Hey Karen, how did we do last night? Do you have enough to read through?

Welcome to yet another Wisconsinite!! Hope you hop on the Konked Kruiser II cruise!!:yay:

[mistyeyes]

Alright Mike! I'm about as amped up for the cruise as I am for the company! Another thing that I'd like to get together is linking dining ressies for any who are interested. We can have a late crowd and an early crowd. I really would have like to dine with KK'ers last time.
We did this on 10/20/07 cruise ... we had to call DCL, then fax a letter with all parties, rooms and names included (they're mainly interested in the name the room is booked under) to get tables near each other. We only had 17 people in our party though. You might be able to get the majority of the dining rooms!

[Verandah Man]

Hi Andy... We haven't been formally introduced. I'm Robin, also known as Tart Girl, Sweet Tart and Mike's (Dyerneeds) dw.

Nice to meet you.

Now, where did you say you're house was? :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:


Hi Robin.:wave:

Oh, I should mention, our vacation "home" is just a two bedroom "mobile home" but the ground it sits on is 100x150, so everyone can bring their tents..........Just have to watch out for the local Bobcats.........:laughing:

[JLDSMD]

Hey Karen, how did we do last night? Do you have enough to read through?
:lmao: :rotfl2: :lmao:

Not this again. Are we going to be able to keep up with her needs? :rotfl2:

[JLDSMD]

We bought the mobile home off of my mom, once I retire, Hazel and I are having a new double wide manufactured home installed and having the old mobile home removed. But, that won't happen until at least sometime in 2010 or 2011 at the earliest.

Welcome aboard Paul. Glad you decided to jump on board. Sorry you felt to far behing on the KK1 site. Please, if you, or anyone else for that matter, feels they fell behind, just jump right back in. Don't feel like you'll be left out. I will update the first post as need to put links or pertinent info up there.

You must be pulling your kids out during Teachers' Convention week as well.

What part of WI are you from?



We're from Kenosha.

Teachers convention week is a good one for us as the kids don't miss much school. It seemed like half the ship was from Wisconsin this year. This will be our 4th annual DCL trip over this week.

Still have ice on it from the last storm. Better get rid of that before company comes this weekend. Don't want my "friends" to fall and break a bone. One of them is old. ;) :lmao:

No, you can't beat those 2 days out of school that week. I think Cheryl has been going that week for some time now too? Right Cheryl?

If either of you fade away for a little while, please, don't feel like you can't come back on. I feel bad you didn't join us last time. This group is great, which I hope you're finding out. We had so much fun on the 10/20/07.

One of my best memories was the unplanned meet in the Adult Pool on Monday afternoon. There must have been 10 or more DISers and their spouses. We had a lot of fun.

[B9erSteve]

For those of you who asked about linking dining ressies...

We had 10 different ressies linked and while we had some glitches the first night (half of our party were at one table while half were at another) after it was all settled, it was great! We got to see several KKers every night!

Some people had requested certain things (like their own table just to themselves) so what I did was send a VERY detailed email to my TA, with all names, cabin numbers, ressie numbers and all special requests.

The funny thing was when the online ressies opened, all of us were linked, so when I registered Kira in Flounders, it asked me who (of all those ressies linked) we would like to be able to pick up Kira! :lmao:

I would definitely do the linking again, that was a lot of fun just seeing each other even just to say hi :wave2: every single night :thumbsup2

Thanks Cass! I'll remember that when time comes. Two years out is probably a bit early for obsessive planning. But when we're closer I'll get a tally of those who wish to have their dining ressies linked.

Nancy & Chuck (cntkg1) Cabin 5024
Jen & family (millerpjm) Cabins 7514 and 7512
Paige & Rob (disgrits) Cabin 6567
Steve & Laura (B9erSteve) Cabin 2606
Seand & Becky (minnieandmickey) Cabin 5022
Andy & Hazel (Verandah Man) Cabin 5520
Robin & Mike (Tart Annihilator & Dyerneeds) Deck 2 but still working on it
Cass & Rob (Timon & Darkrobe) Cabin 6134

Hey! When did that happen Cass? Last I heard you guys were sketchy on booking! It'll be great seeing you two again.

Well Steve... It looks like we're on deck 2 together. I hear we have to bring our own oars this time. :lmao:

We booked early enough... hopefully we'll get another upgrade. :thumbsup2 :)

Yep, a guy can dream, I may score another upgrade. My thinking goes as such. October is historically a slow selling month for DCL, Halloween night is the night we are leaving the ship, so our cruise will probably not be quite as popular as then next one. Our cruise is a traditional Eastern rather than one of those new-fangled ones so they'll probably sell better than ours. Sooo.... I predict a lot of upgrades for someone, might as well be me.

So I know it is very early but does anyone think they will go for a few days before or after the cruise? Maybe MNSSHP meet? We could all wear red wigs!

I am definately planning this. Since we'll be out of town for Halloween, we may as well just plan on spending it in WDW. I think that we'll stay at POP if the rate is reasonable. Stuart really wanted to stay there last time we were in WDW and I chose CSR. I figure I'll throw him a bone and stay there for one night, then maybe splurge for AKL for our next WDW trip.

Yes, we are that crazy group of people.

Hoping Chris joins us on this one as well.

Me too!

Ok - we took the 2007 cruise, are signed up for the same week in 2008 (10/24-11/1) and am sure we'll want in for 2009.

My question is should we book now, or wait for the onboard discount in 2008. what is the better deal?

Jeff you took the words right out of my keyboard. This is the best plan!

We only had 17 people in our party though. You might be able to get the majority of the dining rooms!

I wonder if it was your party that bumped me from my table... They told me that I was smack in the middle of a large party so they moved us to keep that party together. If so, Thanks! We got a great table.

This thing may be more lopsided than the KK1 thread with WIers.

That's it! I'm recruiting some Californians.

[Karen Mouse]

Holy cow, you guys are fast.

I didn't catch the release until lunch and figured some travel agent got all the SPHs, no, it was the KK cruisers! We had connecting on the Halloween cruise this year and loved them, so if any of you change your minds let me know.

I just talked myself up to connecting 7s for $200 more than 8s, not ready to go back to deck 2.

Hiya Ready! - welcome and happy chatting! tell us about yourself and who you're travelling with

Thanks, sounds like we will fit right in!!!!!:thumbsup2

You will:goodvibes

I do like the ornament idea, however it may not be easy to do as it gets closer to the date. I know WE could all go shopping now, but skip ahead a year and a half (oh I WISH)...it's August, we're all trying to start getting our DIStag stuff started, and there's no Christmas decorations in the stores yet. This might be harder (or more expensive) for newer cruisers to do because ornaments aren't "in season" per se.

Am I totally off on this?:confused:

Hmmm.... hadnt thought of that:rolleyes1 - we'll just agree to tag for the time being then:thumbsup2 - we can sort details later:thumbsup2

Are you going to be able to sleep tonight???

G'night Karen...

I didnt end up having an early night at all. I shut the pc down only to go downstaira to find Neil reading the thread on his lappy:lmao: :lmao: - I think he's hooked:lmao: - he probably wont post much but he'll probably read along now and then

Yikes! Such peer pressure!! :confused3

Oh come on - book it! - you know you want to:goodvibes

Some of the cruises are doing St. Croix or Tortola, but not ours. We are a "straight up" Eastern..:rotfl:

Thank you!


Just looked at the other date we were considering for 2009 (8/15/09). It was one of the Tortola cruises. It was over $450 more for a Cat 10. Not sure if they had a price increase today or not. Needless to say, I don't think we'll be switching. So you are all stuck with me again. :rotfl2:

Dont you dare switch on me Mister Jeff :goodvibes

I would love to do a repeat cruise, but I am not sure it is in the cards for us--:sad2: Of course, we only booked KK1 in February so who knows? :confused3

Book it! Book it! Book it!

Is this the crazy lot that Chris (Fat English Gent) told us so much about? My DS and I were on the second leg of Chris's back to back adventure! We promised him to join this one... :goodvibes

Hi Kimmielee - hope you book and join us

[QUOTE=minnieandmickey;22043532]

Are we all bringing Planky's?

Well since we didn't get to do it last time I would love too!

Hey Becky! - My Planky is coming, not sure about anyone elses.

Great you're on the tag list:thumbsup2

I'll keep a running total of who is interestd for the time being til we get more organised.

[Verandah Man]

Mornin' KK2'ers, I'm an early riser..........well most days anyway........:laughing:

For the past few years we have taken vacations during the first week of November, as that is Jersey Week for us. Our school district is off for Election Day, County Teacher's In-Service, and State Teacher's Convention. It's kind of crazy, but they make our kids go to school for just that Monday. So, we have taken our DD out of school for that one day and plan a fall get-away.

This past November, we did a 4 day cruise on RCI's Sovereign of the Seas. It was a nice cruise, but we really did miss the Disney touch and feel, especially since it was our first non-Disney cruise.

I asked our DD again last night if she wanted to join us for this cruise and she said, "No, I want you and mom to have some time alone together." :love: What a sweet kid.........:goodvibes

I'll check in later, I have a few more messages to check, then will be getting DD up so she can start getting ready for school, then I have to start getting ready for work. Gotta work to pay for the cruise!!!

[Hockeychic]

Hey there, WOW. I will catch up later but I have a quick story to relay.

From quickly reading through there looks like alot from Wisconsin (hope I spelled that right??) Anywhooo, on our first DCL cruise Halloween 2005 my DD who was 13 at the time met a boy, Nathanial from Wisconsin, that;s all we knew him by was Nathaniel from Wisconsin, I think it was her first crush, anyways he was a nice kid so do any of you have a son named Nathaniel and was on DCL Oct 2005, that would be a funny coincidence???

We have early dining and would love to link up

[JLDSMD]

Who ever was the point person on tag, I thought it was Karen, add us to the list too.

How many are we up to already?

If we do the ornament idea (which I like by the way), we'll just have to forewarn those who want to join after Xmas next year what we are thinking. Although, there are year round Christmas stores in most cities. Not to mention here in WI, they sell tons of them at State Fair.

Where is Chris by the way? He hasn't posted anywhere lately. Must be on another secret mission. :rotfl:

[Verandah Man]

You can add us to the DIStag game, sounds like fun. We did a small version of this on our August 2006 cruise, but it wasn't anything like what you guys did this past October.

I keep forgetting to say..............:wave: to Cass and Rob, and their little cutie pie as well!!! :wave:

[JLDSMD]

Andy,

Not out braving the elements yet? Just got in from blowing the driveway. It sounds like it is still snowing by my office (near the lake, I live about 25 miles inland). It is heading your way today I think.

Stay warm and safe.

Jeff

[JLDSMD]

Better get that ice off the driveway Jeff, I'm looking to update to the Walt suite on your dime.:lmao: :rotfl2: :lmao:

I may have to pull the vehicles out of the garage so you can park in there. Although the home owners policy was just paid.

[JLDSMD]

FO #5? :confused3

[JLDSMD]

Let's see, if I have 5 FO's already, that is about 1/3 of the possible FO's. Seeing that we're at 2,662 pages on the KK1 site, that means I would have over 875 FO's at that rate. Given this thread will be bigger than that one, I would be in the thousands. :scared1:

Gotta stop this now. It will start controlling my life. The DIS may get addicting. :rotfl2:

[millerpjm]

Good morning all!

Just catching up from last night - looks like we're going to have a great bunch of cruisers!

I am actually going to try and work today, now that the rebooking excitement has subsided (a teeny bit anyway) but I wanted to say hi to the newcomers and the old timers (Jeff :lmao: ) this morning!

By the way, for those of you that don't know me, I'm Jen, and I'll be sailing with DH Pete and my DS who's 4 1/2 now, will be 6 1/2 when we cruise (you were right, Jeff!). We're Wisconsinites also, we live in Janesville.

My first Disney cruise was the October 20, 2007 Western with a whole bunch of really cool DISers. I'm hooked now. My mom will be joining us, and she was on our last cruise also.

Here's us:

Where is the best place to make your reservations? Direct, or through a TA?

Any suggestions of ones that you like?

Either, and may I suggest dreams unlimited travel, they have a on board credit they are offering right now.

[minnieandmickey]

Jeff,
Now that we know where we are going, what do you think they will be doing with that extra week during dry dock?

[minnieandmickey]

OK, have to ask what does FO mean???

FO is the first one to post on a page. But someone can steal your fo if you aren't quick on the draw, or the 40 second rule kills ya. It started with the original cruise.

[B9erSteve]

The rules of the FO (Fresh one) are as follows: if you get the first post on a page you need to then post again (to have the first and second posts on a page) to claim an FO. If someone else posts in that second slot, you are denied. That's why the 40 second rule kills you. If there are a lot of us on (and that happens more often than not) then usually someone will steal your FO.

[Dyerneeds]

and jeff has made stealing FOs an art.pirate: pirate: pirate:

[Timon]

Cass, thanks so much for posting this!

I'd love to get some ressies linked - we've got lots of time to get this all organized....

No problem! :thumbsup2

I won't doubt that our luck from the last cruise may run out. Ask Chris how his second cruise was. I heard it was rough. :scared1:

Either way, glad you decided to hop onboard. Hope it works out for you.

Yes, I heard about his second cruise. And yes, Kira, our good luck charm won't be cruising this time so who knows where we go! :rolleyes1

Thanks for the insight.

I was on the 10/20 with you - but I hadn't gotten on the boards until right before and right after. So we we kept to ourselves a bit. Sociable but not really hanging with anyone.

BUT, that can change:cool1: .

We had an awesome time on the 10/20 cruise. My first ever, and frankly it has spoiled me.

Now I booked my first through *****************s, but are the deals better through someone else.

I have a huge desire to get booked for 2009!!

I would check into Dreams Unlimited, link is at the top of the page :thumbsup2 They have a good offer now, double the OBC plus you still get the $50 from DCL if you are a CC member and book before Dec 10th.





Hey! When did that happen Cass? Last I heard you guys were sketchy on booking! It'll be great seeing you two again.




Guess you missed my post...I booked us now just in case since I got $250 in OBC, plus the room that we want. We can always cancel if we need to. It's 2 years away so we have a lot of time to think about it :thumbsup2




I keep forgetting to say..............:wave: to Cass and Rob, and their little cutie pie as well!!! :wave:


Hi Andy!! :wave2:

[Karen Mouse]

Wow! - what a day!

Hardly slept last night and gave up at 5am....I was just too excited:lmao:

Neil and I went TV shopping again today - we've chosen one:yay: ...thats a Greece holiday, a Florida nd cruise holiday and now a tv in 3 days:rolleyes1 ....the credit card company is going to love us:rolleyes:

Just got back from the doctors - had to organise all Ellis's medication and repeat prescriptions etc....wow! - it was soooo easy:eek: - normally its a real battle at our old doctors to get anything from them - this one just gave me everything I wanted off my list:eek: :eek: - she's even referring Ellis to get allergy tested - the last place refused point blank to do it:eek: - she seems like a great doctor:thumbsup2

TAG LIST SO FAR

Karen Mouse

Jen
Steve
Becky
Walt and Di

Anyone else want to join? We cut the list off at 20 last time. I think it was a great number - not too many and we got them done within the week. Plus re space in cases - it might be difficult if it gets too big with our luggage space etc. Depends upon what we choose of course - some of those sure were big last time round.

I'll volunteer to help run it if someone else will volunteer to help me - you get your own title of "Tag Assistant":lmao: (of course...that makes me the Tag Master;) ):rotfl2: :rotfl2:

I am absolutely no good at spread sheets etc, so I need someone with pc knowledge:rotfl:

Cheers Jeff:lmao:

Jeff,
Now that we know where we are going, what do you think they will be doing with that extra week during dry dock?

Not sure what they'll do. I would love a mini (or would that be a Minnie) golf course on the ship, but they don't have the room.

Maybe because they are going 3 years in between instead of 2 they are going to do a larger overhaul.

Cheers Jeff:lmao:

It would have been better if it were Mike posting. :rotfl2:

[JLDSMD]

The rules of the FO (Fresh one) are as follows: if you get the first post on a page you need to then post again (to have the first and second posts on a page) to claim an FO. If someone else posts in that second slot, you are denied. That's why the 40 second rule kills you. If there are a lot of us on (and that happens more often than not) then usually someone will steal your FO.

Thanks Steve for defining the FO. I believe Chris, who we are hoping will join us here, started it on the old thread.

I tried to stop it early, but it looks like everyone wants to play that game.

But with the milestones, how about we say those are every 5,000th post? Granted we did 1,000th on the last thread, but who know it would go to 40,000 posts (by the way, are we going to push that over soon?). I think this one will go well beyond 40,000 posts based on this group and what we did over there. Thoughts?

And to the new KKers, as I keep saying, please don't let that scare you away.

TAG LIST SO FAR

Karen Mouse
Paige
Jen
Steve
Becky
Walt and Di
Nancy
Jeff
Andy

Anyone else want to join? We cut the list off at 20 last time. I think it was a great number - not too many and we got them done within the week. Plus re space in cases - it might be difficult if it gets too big with our luggage space etc. Depends upon what we choose of course - some of those sure were big last time round.

I can be your "tag assistant"...I have a very basic understanding of spreadsheets, but I am overall pretty organized...or is it organised? :)

However, we might want to wait a year or so, and let some other folks (those who aren't obsessive-two-year-in-advance-planners) join in too!

Wow! - what a day!

Hardly slept last night and gave up at 5am....I was just too excited:lmao:

Neil and I went TV shopping again today - we've chosen one:yay: ...thats a Greece holiday, a Florida nd cruise holiday and now a tv in 3 days:rolleyes1 ....the credit card company is going to love us:rolleyes:

Just got back from the doctors - had to organise all Ellis's medication and repeat prescriptions etc....wow! - it was soooo easy:eek: - normally its a real battle at our old doctors to get anything from them - this one just gave me everything I wanted off my list:eek: :eek: - she's even referring Ellis to get allergy tested - the last place refused point blank to do it:eek: - she seems like a great doctor:thumbsup2

Well, I'm glad you found a doctor you can work with - it's SO important to have one that is willing to work with you. I've had doctors (not our regular Dr. but urgent care and the like) that don't listen to me about things and I get so mad!

You could start the list now. Once you have things going and a description of the game (I'd steal Nancy's wording from the other thread), I can put something regarding it in the first post. New people can then PM either of you if they are interested. I think people should just plan on 30. Then if we don't go with that many, there may be some people you want to give one to that didn't play. Just a thought.

I think the idea of doing ornaments is great. With it being small and as into it as we were last time, I think you could go to 25 or 30. Not much more though. Heck at least 6 of us are right near each other, that will be done in no time (btw Walt and Di, I may tag you on the Adjoining door between our rooms :rotfl2: ).

Andy,

Not out braving the elements yet? Just got in from blowing the driveway. It sounds like it is still snowing by my office (near the lake, I live about 25 miles inland). It is heading your way today I think.

Stay warm and safe.

Jeff



Just got in for lunch, the sn*w started here just around 10am, it is really coming down at the moment and the ground is starting to get covered. I just finished reading one meter book with 120 accounts in it. Will start the next book after lunch, but not sure how much of that I will get done. I have to pick up my paycheck, when I turn this meter book in, then run to the bank. If the sn*w keeps up like this, I will have to pick Angelina up from school around 2:10 and take her home, Hazel doesn't drive in the sn*w.
