Hey Pinky, At the end of the last thread you said something about it being summer and no too many people posting. I don't know about everyone else, but for me, after school starts, you can pretty much kiss me goodbye. It is just such a busy time for me, and Mike won't be traveling nearly as much, so busier I'll be.

[tazgirl1981]

Ok sorry to post so late but I was wondering what excursions everyone was considering for St.Thomas and St. Maarten. This is our first 7 day cruise and Im not sure If/Which excursions we should book. Keep in mind we have a lil guy who will be 3 at the ship sailing; so I do know that there are many things that we cannot participate in or do, but I was just curious as to if there was anything worth getting off the ship for (besides shopping) ;)

[wildernessgirl]

Hi new chapter!! Can't wait to read more!

[kritter]

Allen,, love the photos. So nice to be able to put faces with the names.. Thanks,, for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cdhheidi]

Good Morning!

Got a question for those living in the LA area... my friend who's son is having the transplant (surgery still going on, it can take up to 16 hours!) is trying to find some kind of housing near UCLA. Do you know of any discount type medical housing or something near the hospital? They will have to be there for a few months, and man oh man are prices tough! Combined with keeping up with their mortgage... yikes!

Anyway... I knew that there are some from CA on here so thought maybe I would ask. they hadn't had much time to plan... he was only listed a couple of weeks ago, and it was a quick listing as his liver was SO far gone.. usually it takes months and even years of waiting.

Thanks for any ideas...

[pinkygirl]

Night Nancy!!!!!!!!!!!! See ya tomorrow!!!! I want to see some zoo pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

check your email, I'll send you more!!!

[pinkygirl]

I love Fry Bread!! Thank you for the recipe! I cannot wait to try it. Everything I have ever tried off of whatscookingameriac.net has just been wonderful. Hmmm...Maybe the boys and I will have some Fry Bread tacos for lunch.

This is their last Monday off school! Yipee:banana: I cannot wait for them to get back to school!

Be around later we can pull another prank on Nancy!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!

[3Goofballs]

This is their last Monday off school! Yipee:banana: I cannot wait for them to get back to school!

My DD6 beats your early school start! She started the week of July 7! My DD12 starts on July 28, and the DD4 hasn't left private preschool yet (one more year, then she'll be in kindergarten and I'll have some change in my pocket). I too am looking forward to DD12 starting school so I will have one direction to go in the morning instead of school, preschool, day camp!

Year-round here in 4 tracks: 9 weeks in, 3-4 weeks off. Had DD6 and DD12 on same track schedule last year, but requested DD6 be transferred to another school and the only way in the door is on a different track. So, DD6 will miss 5 days of school cruising, while DD12 will still be on break. Total calendar confusion...

CRUISE QUESTION:

Read in the Passporter book that you can place kids in the Oceaneer Club/Lab while parents go on excursion. We are taking all the girls to St. Maarten, but want to do the Schooner excursion with just DD12 on St. Thomas (plus young age is limiting excursions for DD4 & DD6). Has anyone done this?

Hi all! Thought I said hi earlier today, but just realized I must not have cuz I was not subscribed here.

[mmouse37]

Hey all!!!

Flew in from Key West last night....had a great time there but was it HOT HOT HOT with 98% humidity!!! Spent a lot of time in the hotel pool!!! They were holding the annual Ernest Hemingway look a like contest while we were there....so funny seeing 20 men all dressed alike and looking like Ernest Hemingway!!!

Some excitement on our flight last night....the guy sitting across the aisle from hubby went to the restroom onboard and when we came out the flight attendent came down the aisle to inform him that the police would be meeting him when the flight landed. Apparently he had been smoking in the bathroom and the Captain gave orders for the police to question him when we landed. Heard later on that he was actually arrested as he had outstanding warrants. I didn't think anyone really tried to sneak smoking on a plane anymore with all the announcements and such.

I'll try to post some pics of Key West soon...tomorrow we have to drive DD and her stuff 3 hours to move into her off campus apartment. I need a vacation!!! Oh, wait...I just got back from one.....darn!!! Heck, I need another one anyway!!! October can't get here fast enough!!!

Loved the pics Allen and you are making me hungry......that dessert looks yummy!!!

Talk soon!!!

Hi Heidi,
Has your friend asked the hospital about housing for the families? They might have a Ronald McDonald house or similar option available. Best of luck to them.
Take care, Mary

[disneyhand]

Hello strangers!
First we had the water damage to our house, which I'm still working out the repair details for and then we had vacation. It's been a while since I've posted so lots of catching up to do now! Looks like lots of Parrotthead Pirate conversations have been going on, not sure I will ever catch up, so have I missed anything exciting or important?
Hope everyone is doing well. The cruise is getting close (finally) and lots of decisions to make. It seemed so far away for so long and suddenly it feels really close and I have to hurry and plan, yea!
Take care, Mary

Hi Heidi,

Take care, Mary

thanks Mary, apparently that is not something they have at that hospital... once he is released they will have to stay very close in an apartment of some kind. Frustrating for sure! Funny how different parts of the country are. When we went to Boston Children's the last 2 yrs there was NO Ronald McDonald house at all... and hotels were outrageously expensive near the hospital.

Angel is out of surgery, and doing well based on what I have heard. He is SUCH a great kid...

[tazgirl1981]

Hi Shauna!!
In St. Maarten they have the Butterfly Farm and Zoo that your son might like going to!!!
In St. Thomas they have Coral World which I'm sure your little guy would love!!


:thanks: Thank you so much :worship: Yea My son loves animals so the Butterfly farm and zoo would be nice for him...Coral world..hmmm Im going to check that out as well :thumbsup2

Ok one more question...Is any of the ports of call like Nassau? Im kinda hoping not :rolleyes1 Im just asking because when we went to Nassau we were very UNimpressed :scared: And If any are like it, then we prefer to stay on the ship ::yes::

[pinkygirl]

Hi Mary!!!!!!! we are now just starting to talk about planning a Dis meet onboard, so when everything is planned we will have everything posted on the website!! but we would love to hear your ideas too!!!! so that way we can all decide!!!

[pinkygirl]

thanks Mary, apparently that is not something they have at that hospital... once he is released they will have to stay very close in an apartment of some kind. Frustrating for sure! Funny how different parts of the country are. When we went to Boston Children's the last 2 yrs there was NO Ronald McDonald house at all... and hotels were outrageously expensive near the hospital.

Angel is out of surgery, and doing well based on what I have heard. He is SUCH a great kid...

it's a shame they don't have more housing available!!!!!!!!!
happy to hear he is doing well!!!!!!! :goodvibes

[pinkygirl]

:thanks: Thank you so much :worship: Yea My son loves animals so the Butterfly farm and zoo would be nice for him...Coral world..hmmm Im going to check that out as well :thumbsup2

Ok one more question...Is any of the ports of call like Nassau? Im kinda hoping not :rolleyes1 Im just asking because when we went to Nassau we were very UNimpressed :scared: And If any are like it, then we prefer to stay on the ship ::yes::

you're welcome!!! here's the link to Coral World...
http://www.coralworldvi.com/
it looks like a great place to bring children to!! have fun deciding LOL

[pinkygirl]

No, just thought I did, but didn't. Bright aren't I?

maybe you just had a long day!!!!!! LOL
glad you found us though!! :goodvibes

[pinkygirl]

I'm sorry to hear that they don't have housing for the families. There must be a huge need for it. My cousin went thru a very similar situation with her daughter in a hospital in Seattle. She spent every penny she could get her hands on for lodging and even stayed in some undesirable places. Family and friends (no one was local) helped with what they could. She is still in debt, but her daughter is recovering, which is the important thing. It's a shame. Sending good thoughts that it will all work out.

Hi Mary!!!!!!! we are now just starting to talk about planning a Dis meet onboard, so when everything is planned we will have everything posted on the website!! but we would love to hear your ideas too!!!! so that way we can all decide!!!

Hi Nancy,
Cant wait to hear the plans! Thanks for all your efforts with it.
Mary

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

Hello All! Found the new thread!

Heidi, glad to hear your friend is doing well after surgery!!! Please keep us posted!

What was the prank on Nancy? Can you tell us online? Too funny!!

Allen, thanks for the photos! It's great to put faces with names!

MJ, what a scary thing to happen on the flight! I am really surprised he thought he would get away with it! I guess he'll be backing Nicorette the next time! Duh!

I am sure I am forgetting something....

I'll be around later... have to make dinner!

[gometros]

I'm looking out my office window at the smoke stack of the Carnival Victory as it gets set to leave for a 5-day cruise up to Canada. Yes, I know it isn't DCL, but I'm just sitting here dreaming that in two and a half months, I'll be on a ship just like it, as it leaves port for a wonderful week of fun.

[BigRed1]

I am re-posting this so it get the attention it deserves!!!!:rotfl2:

****ATTENTION: CRUISE INFO****
I have the green mickey heads made for everyone on the list. I have not received list info from gouodux, or Disney Becky, so send me that info!!!!!! Maureen sent me an email and we do need to start "nailing" down some of these activities we have been talking about. We have been talking party at CI&S. At last check, they do not have a bar at the pool. So we will need to bring our own beverages. NO GLASS is generally the rule around pools. So if your beverage of choice is only available in glass....like Landshark, be sure you have a cup!!! I have music on an ipod, but I'm not sure what we will have to plug it up to at this point. Maybe Kristin could start an activities page on the website so we can keep up with these decisions we make. It has been mentioned, but we need to try to decide when, where and how's of a group picture if everyone is so inclined. You know we will meet at sail-a way somewhere. We might have an outside location selected, and an inside location in case of rain. Would anyone like to volunteer to keep a list of these activities that could be updated and sent to Kristin for posting on the website?? (I think Pinkygirl has access to the website, yes???) Anyway.....food for thought. Off to a meeting, see you later!!
Allen

UPDATE:I think Sandy (gometros) has agreed to keep the activities list, correct?? :confused3 Correct me if I'm wrong!!! As we decide what we will do and when, she will update the list and provide it to Nancy or Kristin to post on the website!! THANKS!!!! :yay:
If anyone has any ideas, suggestions or recommendations, SPEAK UP!!!! :teeth:

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

Allen, I noticed you took out the 2nd T in the Mickey Head. Thanks!

Kristin, over on the Creative DISigns thread, someone is making resort signs. Would be great as a scrapbooking page or the background in a photoframe. Thought you might like this.....

Pinkygirl, Thank you so much, Im going to check out the site now :goodvibes

About the meets, When we decide on when and where, Is anyone else bringing their kids with them to the meet??? I have my DS (will be 3) so I think he might be the youngest kid in the group ;) and he wont go anywhere without us (so that means he will be attached at the hip to us during the trip :rolleyes: And I wasnt sure if we would be out of place during the meet :scared: I would love meet up with some of ya But I must admit, I am extremely shy in person and may not talk unless talked to :rolleyes1 Im trying so hard to overcome this obstacle but i suffer from anxiety (have suffered my entire life) and it isnt something that seems to be going away anytime soon...I do work hard at it though and it kills me to not be able to come up to talk when I want so badly to:sad1: I do wonderfully behind the computer but in person its so different :guilty:

I would think at least for the main meet we would all bring our kids, don't you guys agree?? And yours is not the youngest, Alex has darling Rebecca, how old is she Alex? She's just a baby. According to the list there is at least 1 other 3 year old in our group, and a 4 year old, so I wouldn't fret about having him along.

[TexasGirl]

My 3 year old son Nathaniel will love playing with your 3 year old!

At our cruise last year, the inside event had a little mixer game for the kids so they could get to know each other. I think Def bring the little ones.

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

Shauna, Our boys will be with us!! On the last 2 cruises, all the meets were for families, not just adults. Now the meet that Kristin's Travel Agent is planning, I don't know about that one, that might be for the adults only, but she would know...and you would have had to have booked with her agent as well.
Try not to be too shy! We are all very friendly and so far as I can tell, none of us bite!! I know it's nothing to make fun of, and I am not, really, I am just trying to make you feel comfortable with us!!!! Can't wait to meet you in person!!!

I think someone is working on t-shirts for us to wear, so that shouldn't be a problem. Just show up at the sail away meet location, when that is decided, and you will be warmly greeted, I'm sure!

[BigRed1]

I can't just sit here and let this one go......:rotfl2:

[pinkygirl]

I didn't have much interest in this place, but my dh would love that Sea Trek thing!

we're only going to keep the boys happy for a few hours!!!! plus they have the beach right beside this place!!!!

[kritter]

Evening All,,

I think a list of activities would be GREAT... Between Nancy and I we can keep it updated and on the website.. I have no problem helping keep track of activities....

Hope everyone had a GREAT day...


I know a few of us are staying @ SSR the night before the cruise. So we can plan a meet by the pool if we want too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm also shy sometimes, but once I start talking look out! I just usually don't have anything exciting to post about here. We didn't book with Kristin's TA, so we won't be in that meet, but if there is something for all the poster's here, we'll try to make it. My husband and I are traveling with our 8 year old nephew and our wonderful neighbors. They have a daughter who will be four in August. We would love to meet you! Mary

I know it can be difficult, but pat yourself on the back, you are here chatting and you are going to put yourself in the middle of a meet with people you don't really know, thats a good step forward. We will do our best to make you feel very comforatable:goodvibes

Well, I guess I won't make it to 3000 tonight. Ended up having to seek Connor out in the 'hood. He lost his phone at the house across the street...it was under the sofa in the family room...he would have never found it. Then track him down at another neighbor's playing flashlight tag. waited outside talking to another neighbor for Steve to get home. We just came in.

Hey All!! Whats happening???

I'm good! And how are you??? I had to get Allen to come to school and help me put my room back together again. :hug: I manned the table where the parents gave us their kid's info, a ok to put your kid's picture in the annual page, medical history, a ok to get on the internet paper, and one other page which had to be pulled apart after being stapled by King Kong! lol . We're having a "meet the teacher" night where everyone can find out their teacher on Thursday, but we're working everyday. Kids come in for their first day next Monday. whew! I'm sure you didn't want all that!! :laughing: Now...... how was your day??????

Hey Gina!!!!!! How ya doin??????????

[elgerber]

Don't feel bad Gina, I'm not going to be partying either, since we don't even land until 11 Friday night!

Ok, gotta go, even though I've only been here for a couple of posts.

When we plan our meet we probably need to make sure it doesn't cross times with any TA meets.

I'm getting excited, now to finish buying everything I need...:)

So are none of Ya'll staying onsite? We just booked our hotel today. We're staying at our Fav moderate...Port Orleans French Quarter. Our little ones LOVE the King Triton pool with the not to be missed "Serpent Slide." Plus, we love the free boat ride to Downtown Disney and may even do the Carriage that evening. Fun Fun!

That was our last booking...hotel!

Sounds like everyone else has their hotel already worked out.

[belle1627]

Oooh!!!! From what Kristin says, it's quite nice!!!!!!!!! :idea: Maybe we'll bring the party to you!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

Meets...I think we'll end up with several...but here's my thoughts...

At the port..everyone arriving and waiting to board. I am sure we'll be there early. We can help each other take photos in front of the ship and such! The kids can run around and get to know each other too! :yay:

At the sailaway party...Deck 10, starboard side, dancing and partying together! :banana:

Deck 7, the Atrium, ?????, photo op to get a group shot. :grouphug:

Pirate Night? Maybe another group shot with Pirate Attire. Maybe we can get one with Captain Jack? He was in front of the Walt Disney Theater when we were there last.
