Ahoy November 12th, 2009 Cruisers!!

[3littleHalls]

This site seems to say the current water surface temps are 83, sounds toasty to me.
:woohoo:http://orlando.justweather.com/boating/:cool2:

I will take it!! We leave in 5 days...haven't even gotten the suitcases out...got to get moving!

[SylviaL]

When is the Goofy Pool meet? Also, it sounds like many of you may do Sea World on Sunday, but we are doing Gatorland, if anyone's interested. Our flight home is in the late afternoon. I'm hoping we get off the ship early, head to Gatorland and then maybe to Downtown Disney before the airport.

DCL Rookie - My boys loved the Pirate Museum when they were 4 and 6 (they would still like it now). It's a nice walk, though it might be a little long for your 3.5 yr old in the sun.

[LynnF0513]

Welcome SylviaL!!! The meet is at 3pm by the Goofy Pool on the first day (12th). See you onboard!

[ljm23]

:confused:Hey Lynne, maybe a dumb question but which night do we do the FE exchange?:confused:

[Alice_on_WONDERland]

:confused:Hey Lynne, maybe a dumb question but which night do we do the FE exchange?:confused:

I'll answer for Lynn! :rotfl:

You can do the FE gift exchange any time you wish during the cruise.

Everyone, please make sure to put your FE out as soon as you can on the first day. You may want to carry it along in your day bag so you can put it out as soon as you get to your room - goodies start appearing as soon as it's placed outside your door! :thumbsup2

That sounds great to me!

Just found out that DS 17 will need to have ultrasound guided biopsies on Friday 11/13.:eek: Thank God for grandparents that are so supportive (and the internet cafe on the ship)!

OH NO! Thoughts are prayers are coming your way. :hug:

[LynnF0513]

Thanks Harmony :flower3:

I know I will be delivering our gifts before dinner on the first night. I like to do it early so that I don't put it off to the last minute.

I think what Lynn means is that we need to get the FEs out of our suitcases so we have room to hide our purchases!!!!!

Exactly! I thought all the ladies would catch on :rotfl:

[jedijill]

I'm still trying to figure out how to pack all mine and get them down there!

I"m sitting in class tonight wishing I was at home finishing up packing....this is going to be such a long week!!!!!

[anetnmike]

I am like a little kid having a hard time focusing- because in my mind I am already on vacation!:cool2:

I get ya.... we are more than just a little excited in this household. I think hubby can't wait till we leave :rotfl:

[wayne1982]

Hey Everyone! So excited for next Thursday I can hardly do any work this week!

My question that I have is does anyone know if the cellular services that is on the cruise ship allows for data services? I have a Blackberry with unlimited international and domestic data services, and was told by sprint that as long as the ship's cellular network has data services I will be covered under the international data services and won't pay for the usage. Also with the cell services is it $2.49/min from disney and then $2.49 from my provider as well? I think that's double dipping isn't it.

Well can't wait any longer!

Not sure about data services. However, it is not double dipping. Basically you are "roaming" on Disney's network. Normally on land, Sprint pays a roaming fee to another carrier if you are on their tower (i.e. Verizon or TMobile) but Sprint has no such agreement with Disney's service so you have to pay for your usage of Disney's cellular network and then the international Sprint voice rates.

Hey Gang!

We have been out of town for a few days.

Wanted to post and see if others hosting DCL House Parties got their boxes. Mine came yesterday, looks like lots of nice goodies :)

Wishing everyone who is traveling soon a great trip and fun on their first part of the vacation.

Haven't thought about packing or anything, hoping to start this weekend.

Lots to do between now and then, all kinds of kid stuff going on....

[Ottes4]

Hey guys I have a quick question I was hoping someone could answer. I was on the website for Disney World and saw something about a Christmas party at Magic Kingdom...are all the rides/attractions open for this or is it just select events? Thanks Melissa

Can't wait for a Konk Cooler:banana:

MVMCP is a lot of fun. It is a hard ticketed party which means you have to buy a special ticket. MK is closed to guest not attending the Party. At 7pm, all the day guests should be gone and the Party starts! All the E ticket rides are open (except Space Mountain which is going through a refurb). There are special holiday shows, Christmas parade, and holiday themed fireworks. It is even "rumored" to snow on Main Street! ;) All the characters are decked out in the holiday finest and Santa and Mrs Claus will be attending as well.

I'll be attending on 11/10!

You can enter as early as 4pm with this ticket. There is a special parade and show in front of the castle, characters in costumes, snow on main street and even Santa. :) I have gone twice. Once, it was great, low crowds, well worth the money.... the second time, it was a zoo!!! So many people, I have no idea where they came from as it was not that busy at any park all week long. You couldn't get anywhere. There is one while we are there(the 17th) so I am just waiting to see if it sells out or not. If it does, I don't want to be there anyhow.... thinking we may just pass since we have seen it twice.... will make my mind up closer to the day.

[Ottes4]

Thanks for the info on the Christmas Party...I will talk to DH, cause I would really like to go.

I hear you on the being crowded. I won't go to a Party on Friday/Saturday nights. The locals come out since its not a school night. I'm attending on Tuesday night so it won't be so bad (hopefully!)

[scootch]

This weather forecast is driving me nuts!!!!! ugghh.... don't need this stress right now. I keep saying, it doesn't matter, it will be great anyhow and my land part of my cruise is after it all... but still bums me out!

Is that the one that just turned into Ida? She is making me mad! But the weather website is still predicting a favorable outlook....hope it stays that way!

[anetnmike]

according to reports this morning, Ida's long range expectation (late next week) is Western Carribean and possibly the Gulf side of Florida. this is from weatherbug.
no bad ju ju people! we are going to have an awesome time!:woohoo:

[kutchyone]

Scattered thunderstorms on Fri. or Sat., can't remember which day.

[SCQ86]

Not worried about Ida....looks like she is going to leave us alone.

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?5-daynl#contents

[scootch]

I just need to keep an eye on it for my flight. I am flying in Wed, leaving PIT at 6pm. Might be a bumpy ride. Glad Ida is in the Gulf instead of the Atlantic. My motherinlaw's name was Ida... she wouldn't dare let this ruin her granddaughters trip:angel:

[off_to_neverland]

Just checked the weather forecast, IDA is on track to move to the west of Florida by Tuesday afternoon. Generally once the hurricane moves by it takes all the rain and humidity with it. Let's be optimistic, it's shaping up to be a great weekend. :yay:

[anetnmike]

rain rain GO AWAY:mad:
come again anytime after our trip please:rolleyes:

[jedijill]

Getting packed and ready to leave tomorrow morning. OMG, my FE gifts took up a WHOLE suitcase. :scared1: Thank goodness SW allows two bags for free. :banana:

I know the weather is going to cooperate. This time tomorrow night I'll be chillin' at SSR and getting ready to chow down at the F&W Festival on Sunday.

Jill

[elmo2200]

Wishing everyone smooth, safe travel!!!!pixiedust:

We leave very early Sunday morning and plan to spend two days on the gulf coast. The hotel has an indoor pool which would be nice if it does indeed rain. Got hot chocolate packed for a cozy evening on the beach with DH. Rain, rain go away!!!

[3littleHalls]

Safe journeys! Can't wait to set sail!! Haven't gotten out the suitcases and we leave at 5am. Gonna be two allnighters in a row!

[anetnmike]

our prayers for safe travel for all of you :hug:
and for the weather to behave!
Jill, you are first one down so I am sure you will make sure everything is good for all of us:goodvibes
see ya real soon!

[scootch]

Latest report has it headed for Alabama.. yea.... can't wait to meet you all... so soon :banana:

[disneydarling07]

Safe travels for everyone lucky enough to be leaving early!
3 more days! I"m bouncing off the walls excited now!
I will be all finished packing tonight. THen I will have nothing to do but sit and stare at the calendar and the clock.....

Sunny beaches...HERE WE COME!!!

[jedijill]

Well, kids, I made it! After a long day of flying (darn missing out on booking the direct flight!) I finally made it to SSR about 8:30 last night. Headed over to DTD and ate dinner at Raglan Road. Yummy!!! Nothing list Irish ham, Strogbow, and Irish music/dancers. Got back to the room about 11:30 and had to track down my luggage. Both suitcases finally showed up at about 12:30 this morning.

Slept in and now I need to get going and head over to Epcot for the final day of F&W goodness. :)

Safe travels to everyone. Heard from Lynn and she has arrived at her mom's in Jacksonville. Can't wait to meet everyone. The weather is absolutely gorgeous here.

TTFN!

Jill

[anetnmike]

Hey Jill! Glad you are down there safe and sound and enjoying beautiful weather!:thumbsup2 Have a great time at F&W! I hear the Margaritas are awesome:worship:

[robind]

Just got my FE gifts completed last night, or more accurately, this morning around 1 am. Two days of work to get through.

[CzyDsnyFan92]

Hope that everyone that has left already has a safe trip down to FL. We are dying to leave and almost thought it wasn't going to happen. DD got sick over the weekend...took her to the doctor today and now I have to go pick up some medicine. Turns out she ended up with Strep Throat for her birthday. What a wonderful present huh?! Can't go to school so once we get her medicine I am going to get her a Happy Meal and let her watch a movie.

[scootch]

I wish we were there already, a bit concerned about a delay in flight for wed evening, although it is looking ok.... bet a bit bumpy. Wish I were able to fly in sooner. One thing with strep, 24 hours of antibiotics and it is like they never were sick. Great to be counting the hours, rather than the days. About 95% packed here....

Just gave her the first dose so hopefully it works quickly. I still need to iron some stuff and put it all in the garment bag. Oh and pack the shoes. Lots to do still but eager to go...can't wait for Wednesday!

Simple Request:

Would those of you who were lucky enough to head down to WDW early PLEASE post some pics for those of us suckers still sitting around at home???

:rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl: :lmao:

[disneydarling07]

:woohoo:Sounds like we got lucky again!!!!! This was posted in the cruise forum this morning...:cool1::cool1::banana::yay:

Just got off the wonder yesterday and as we went to breakfast at Triton's there were TONS of carts being brought onboard with decorations and were positioned all around the atrium on decks 3,4, &5, as well as more for Tritons and Parrot cay sitting in the walkway next to Tritons by the side entrance. A tree was already set up when we exited Tritons, and our servers told us they would all be up by 12 when the next group set sail (came on board).

[elmo2200]

Let me tell you, a picture is worth a thousand words!!!! I dressed up as a chicken and DD got slimed. I haven't laughed so hard in ages. I can't post pics until I get home. :( hope everyone has a safe trip! Radisson guys- we will see you tomorrow!

See you guys Thursday morning...we cancelled at the Radisson and opted to stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge. I remember meeting you and Nick at the pool and Michael and Nick hanging out in the hot tub while you looked for MMA fights at the bar! lol

Mike pirate:

[jedijill]

I had plans to go to the MVMCP tonight but got rained out. Luckily I got Disney to refund my tickets!!!! As we were leaving we saw the fireworks going off but it was MISERABLE before we left standing in the rain.

Jill

[elmo2200]

We probably won't get to Radisson until around 4. We are going to downtown Disney now. We will wear our bracelets at the hotel. Mike- sorry to hear we wont see y'all tonight. See you guys later!

Too funny. I think I am the last to leave.... picking up dd at school at 215pm and to the airport about an hour after that. Flight looks on time and glad Ida is out of our way. See ya all real soon!

[ljm23]

Hi, we're at the airport waiting for our flight:sad1: We had a great time and it was so nice to meet you all and see some of you for the second time. Will post pics once we get home. Safe travels all!:flower3:

[LynnF0513]

Hey Guys! Phillip and I made it home safe. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who participated in the FE exchange. The gifts were wonderful :woohoo:

We hope everyone is safe and will be talking to you guys soon!

[3littleHalls]

Hope everyone made it back safe and sound! Sorry we didn't make it to any of the meets. My DS had sea sickness the first night(you know...you were there-man the boat was rocking!) Then the next day my oldest DD broke her arm while in the Goofy pool. :confused3 Found that out this am. She was complaining after a handstand in the pool that she dislocated her arm. DH and I knew that it wasnt right. Turns out she broke her upper arm because there was a cyst in her bone causing it to be weak. Fluke thing. We did see Mark and Shadow many times because their table was next to ours at dinner. Wish we could have met more DISers! We are doing the double dip in May. Anyone else?? Kelly

[3littleHalls]

I love the picture of the gals! Chilly day to start out a cruise!

[docusmc1]

Anyone doing the July 20,2010 5 day Wonder Cruise. It will be our 5th.:yay:

[Alice_on_WONDERland]

We are home... :sad:

Pics coming soon. I can't find my camera case in all this mess of luggage! :scared:

Love the group photo Laura! :grouphug:

[elmo2200]

We got in the car and drove and drove and drove for 18 hours straight. We got home at 3am this morning. Got up at 10 and DD had a fever. :( It was a great trip and we enjoyed seeing everyone. I have started writing a trip report on paper and hope to post soon. Right now I am trying to figure out how to make an album of pics and put the link in a post...

[elmo2200]

This should be a link to pics of the Nickelodeon Hotel and the game show we did.

[LynnF0513]

Laura,

Great Pic!!!! LOVE IT!

Glad to hear everyone made it home safe :thumbsup2

[elmo2200]

Just made a DCL album. Boy I wish I could scrapbook that quickly!!! You will see pics with a pirate rubber duckie. That was a little project I decided to do. We took pictures of the places duckie went that is until I lost him at the pirate party.... We'll just say he was lost at sea or walked the plank or something that sounds heroic! pirate:

http://s548.photobucket.com/albums/ii342/elmo2200elmo2200/DCL%20Nov%202009/

Great pictures! Both albums were great! How did you get to do the gameshow? My fam would love it!

LOVE the slime pic, Tracey! :thumbsup2

How did your DD get all that slime out of her hair?!

[elmo2200]

Great pictures! Both albums were great! How did you get to do the gameshow? My fam would love it!


We filled out a casting form earlier in the day. I was afraid we would be picked because most people at the pools did not have 2 kids over 10 years old. The hotel wasn't very busy.

"How did your DD get all that slime out of her hair?!"
She had to scoot on towels to a shower behind stage. There they hosed her off. I debated posting the pics.... There was still a good amount of slime so she went straight back to the room to shower. The whole time she was grumbling about the slime and being hosed off. It was quite funny (for me!)
She may need therapy though. She should have told them she was not okay with being slimed so Nick could have done it instead.

[anetnmike]

Hi everyone! Big thank you to all for the really excellent FE gifts! You guys are so much fun:cool1:
So....who's rebooked and ready to go again:rotfl:

[jedijill]

I got back safely as well. Met a friend for dinner Sunday night and then hit EMH for the Osborne lights. Oh my! They really put me in the holiday mood. Back to Denver on Monday to 23 degrees and 9 inches of snow on my car at the airport. :) Been busy catching up on work and school.

It was wonderful meeting everyone! I rebooked for 10/23/11 on the Dream. My TA/friend is trying to convince me to book the Dream 5 day in June 2011. When I got home my brother and SIL want to taken an Alaskan cruise in Aug 2010 and they have invited me to go along!!! :)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Jill

[Alice_on_WONDERland]

I agree - a great big THANK YOU to everyone for the amazing FE gifts. :thumbsup2 They were so cool. You all did such a great job!

We most likely won't cruise with Disney again until the Dream. We're looking at the 8/16/11 cruise. I can't wait!

DH and I are doing and ADULTS ONLY :woohoo: cruise sometime between now and then. We're definately going the Mexican Riveria route, either with RCCL or NCL.

I loved meeting all of you, and catching up with old friends. :hug: My only regret is that we did not have enough time to really hang out and have a good time together. Let's all sail together again SOON!

[anetnmike]

wow Jill! all that snow:sad2: so cool that you get to go to Alaska!
There seems to be lots of excitement about the Dream:rolleyes:
We booked a 4 day starting Nov. 6th,2011 but DH really wants to do a 5 day. They are only available May-Aug. (hurricane season:mad:) but at least we won't be chilly.
Harmony, a grown ups only cruise really sounds like fun!:woohoo:

[scootch]

Hey everyone.... we finally made it home. 9 days was a smidge too long, but glad we took the time to go to Discovery Cove, Sea world and WDW. WDW was very slow, almost no lines for anything. I must say though Discovery cove was the highlight of our trip. Just an amazing day. Here are a few pictures.

Working now to get all my cruise pictures downloaded. Thanks for all the FE gifts too... we haven't really had a chance to go thru them all but will do so over the weekend. They took up half of a suitcase!! but I still managed to get everything home. No future cruise plans for us unless they offer us some amazing 99 dollar offer that many of you got. We will likely get back to Discovery Cove again in the future. Off to unpack a bit. Nice meeting all of you!

My son & I are going on a 4 day cruise on 14 march.

We are going to WDW for a few days after the cruise. Disney is having a "deal" for the Military.





Walt Disney World's Armed Forces Salute 2010
Walt Disney World has just announced that Active and Retired U.S. Military, including members of the U.S. Coast Guard and active members of the National Guard or Reservists, may purchase 4-Day Walt Disney World Armed Forces Salute Tickets for themselves and up to five (5) family members and/or friends for $99 each.

Happy New Year to you Tracey! We do have some pics Tracey so I'll have to ask Laura to post them! It was awesome! Mike and Annette actually ended up taking our Cat 5 (?) room! They also stopped by to see the suite :woohoo:. Mike said that they will never go back to a regular room now that they've had a balcony (and Annette didn't argue a peep :lmao:)! He also said he loved hanging out on it when they were in their room and opened the door to hear the ocean when they were falling asleep. Although the suite was truly awesome we probably won't do it again, we're good with cat 5 or 6. For us it was a great opportunity to upgrade at the port on a short cruise. Conceirge was nice but don't think they are at your beckon call!!!
Hey Mark...the deal you got with your son sounds AWESOME!! You totally deserve it my friend! Gheesh 18 days until till a 7 day Eastern Cruise and another trip in March?? You make me totally jealous!

Here are some pics of the cabin. It was really awesome but like Mike says not something we'd do all the time.
