Hello my fellow SSM09 Cruisers!

Below is the list of people that are participating in the Fish Extender exchange so far.

Also, everyone has two in the room except were I have it listed.
If you need the information on what the Fish Extender is all about or would like to know who to notify if you would like to par take, please see the first post on the first page of this thread.
The ones that have ** in front of them have one adult in the room. The ones that have *** have 3 adults in the room and the ones that have **** have 4 adults in a room.

So far there are 34 cabins.

Please keep in mind the cut off to participate in the Fish Extender exchange is August 12, 2009. That is Wednesday this way it gives everyone time to get there items.

If any one would like a list with room numbers and such before the SSM09 send me an e mail (girlwolf@excite.com) or PM me your e mail address and after the cut off I will send you the spreadsheet.

Our forecast for tomorrow is 99 degrees! :scared1: And high humidity. Yuck, yuck, yuck. I'd love some rain right now and there's not much in sight, unfortunately.

That countdown is looking so very good. We can hardly wait. I wish I could remember to look for the ships on the cams; it seems so neat to be able to see them go. But I figure the odds of me remembering are about the same of my scoring a pirate: or :bride: ;) .

Too bad Flo on the weather, but it is not over here for us. It is only 6 and it looks like it is about 8! We are under another thunderstorm watch until 11:00 tonight. DH grilled us some steaks for dinner and it ended up he was grilling in the rail/thunder. It wasn't doing anything when he started but by the end, it was. I can still hear it thundering right now. Looks like a stormy night ahead.

Let's make a date for next Sunday to be on to check out the web cams. It was fun today. Then, maybe, we can get you a :bride: or pirate:. It's worth a shot. What do ya think? Date?

We're trying to get our 2 year old used to taking pictures with characters before the cruise, so we made a trip over to DHS this morning. The whole trip there he was excited about about seeing Mickey and giving him a kiss and hug. Then we got there and once he saw Mickey, he decided he wasn't interested, but he saw Doug (the dog from Up) and wanted to go hug and pet him. So we stood in line for 20 minutes to see Doug and as soon as we walked up to him, our son started crying. Needless to say the trip was not successful.

We're staying at BLT next weekend so hopefully we'll have better luck. Any ideas would be appreciated. He likes to watch from a distance, but won't get within 5 feet without crying.

When both my DS and DD were that age they went through the same thing. All our pictures of them at that age are with them being held by someone. I really would not stress so much about it. Just make sure you take turns being in the pictures so you have a good balance of the vacation photos. A funny story for my DD was in France she wanted a picture with Belle dressed in her plain everyday dress. Well, Belle and the Beast were together. She wanted no part of the Beast. He was gracious enough to back away and let her get her picture with Belle. Once I snapped the shot, he quietly walked up behind them and stood just close enough that I could get the picture with all of them. DS never knew until she saw the picture later.

You might also consider letting DS take a few pictures of you with the characters so he gets used to being around the characters.

Wow, you were all very chatty today. Looks like you had fun while watching the webcams.

We are getting very excited here at our house for the cruise.

We have a Mickey Christmas countdown which we convert to a vacation countdown. On her way to bed, DD asked if she could update it tomorrow. I said, "Yes." She said, "When I get up?" I said, "Yes!" She said, "As soon as I wake up?" YES!! :rotfl: So, she went right to bed and was asleep in about 5minutes.

It was very hot in southern NJ today. We had a bad storm come through this evening with high winds. Left some damage and lots of things blown around. Temps tomorrow 94-98 with heat index of 105.

Congrats to all of you that are done your FE gifts. I will definitely need to go back through all the kids bags I made up a few weeks back. I know I do not have enough now as the list keeps growing. Yikes. Good thing I bought extras. I think I will need to head back for more items for the older kids.

Sue - How did DS make out with his blackbelt? I was hoping I would see an update as I read through the posts.

Dave - Hope the family had a safe trip this weekend.

Have a great day tomorrow - or today - as most will not read this until Monday!!!

For all you creating magnets, Kellybell on the DISign board created this for me. I was going to create magnets for everyone but I am not going to be able to at this point. DD and I already started working on items for each cabin and we are not done them yet. With my school work and trying to get everything else ready for the cruise I had to make my final decision today regarding the magnets. Time is running out.

So, I wanted to share this with you all so that if you would like to print one out for yourselves please feel free to do so. She copied the SSMC09 image from my signature as per my request but she was not real happy with the quality. I decided just to leave it as is and not ask her to change the design. She is very busy with so many requests.

And this way everyone posting here can print one out....not just those participating in the FE exchange.

Sounds great. I think I'm going to have to put next Sunday in my calendar, but it's sure worth a try. Let's try to remind each other; I'd love to get onboard w/at least one of the little varmints. And I don't care which one it is!

Mary, Thanks for the update. I can not believe it is only 5 weeks away. Not sure if you have a treatment tomorrow but we will be sending good thoughts your way.

Well today would have been my normal day for chemo. In fact if I had stayed on schedule it would have been my last. Instead I'm scheduled to have one tomorrow which will be #11. My doctor was on vacation all last week and doesn't get back until later today. So I have an end of day appointment with him and chemo tomorrow. Then after that only one more which hopefully be the week of August 24th.

Flo, Thanks so much for maintaining this list. Looks like things are hopping these days. I think we are going to have to make another road trip :drive: to Cape May to get more of our items for the FEs.

Good Monday Morning!!!! :goodvibes

Sue congrats to Dustin for earning his black belt. That was quite a long testing time. I bet he was pooped when he got done. But what an accomplishment. :thumbsup2 Loved the pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Dave - glad you had a safe trip to and from Michigan. Hope you didn't run into any of the bad weather that was out and about.

We had one town here in Iowa that was hit very hard with hail. They said every house in town had some kind of damage. Windows were broken out of homes and cars, siding tore off, the corn and bean fields were stripped clean. Really nasty.

Joanne - I just hope I remember next Sunday! :laughing: I have a short memory span sometimes. But it was such fun watching the ship sail yesterday that I want to watch it again, and again, and again. Cuz that means it is getting closer for us to be on it! :yay:

Happy Happy Birthday to Cory & Gail Hope you both have a wonderful day!

We ended up missing the webcam because we were invited at last minute by my aunt to her pool. We went gladly, it was so hot here yesterday and humid (in the 40 degrees celsius range with humidity!).
We'll try again next sunday for the webcam :)

Happy Monday everyone! I wasn't on this weekend, and just finished reading everyone's posts!! Lots going on out here!

So I have started packing... amd I have two questions. 1. what non-traditional items will you be taking with you- will we need things like bottled water? Anything else you can think of? 2. For my one year old- he like to try to use his fork when he eats- does Disney have smaller utencils for the little ones, or is that something I should pack up too??

Thanks!!

Hi!

I don't know the exact times the restraunts are open for lunch. BUt that will be in the navagator they put in your room at night. At lunch it is first come first served. I also think the times are from like 11:30 to 2:00. I am sure some one here knows.

When we are docked at Castaway Cay, there is lunch on the island - two buffets, one at the adults only beach and one at the family beach. But on board, Parrot Cay is open 12 - 1:30. No Beach Blanket buffet. Goofy's, Pluto's and Pinocchio's are all open from 12 - 6 or 7pm.

When we are at sea, sit-down lunch is available at Triton's from 12 - 1:30. Then Beach Blanket buffet is 12 - 2:30. Pluto's, Goofy's and Pinocchio's are open 11:00 - 6 or 7pm.

I can't imagine cancelling my cruise, but that's great news for Faith. Welcome!

We did some shopping today for making our Fish Extenders. Tried to find some good character fabric, but was not pleased with the selection. We ended up finding some printable fabric which you can put through the laser printer and then cut up and sew on something else, so we're going to give it a try. We're planning for a Tink theme on one and either Pirates or Peter Pan on the other. Even though both kids will be sleeping in our room, we're planning to make one for him and one for her.

You know, I used to laugh at people with the crocs, because I think they look kind of clunky. But then a friend of mine who also does lifeguarding told me that they were the best thing he had ever worn when he guarded because they protected your feet from the rough surface by the pool and also gave support. So I broke down and tried a pair just this summer - and I have to say they have saved my feet while I am at work.

Did you mean DH, He is doing Ok, still hurts alot, but he said aleast he is getting paid for 8 hours each day.

DS is doing fine also..still taking space in my house...Been out a couple of times, Now he has daughter, who knows when he'll leave. Built in Babysitter. Why leave.
His Job is doing well, now If I could get rent out of him. I would be doing really good.

For anyone who is interested in Crocs: There is a Crocs outlet in Orlando that has really good deals. If you can wait until you are in Orlando, and if you have time prior to the cruise, you could pick up some then. They also have many styles and colors, including some that do not even look like Crocs

Thank you! I haven't looked at the numbers in a while!

The crocs and I may be able to wear one or two of the styles. I know there are several stores in the area too - DSW, Famous Footwear and a clog shop that has been around for a long time. I'm not walking out of the store without making sure they fit right!

I'm still not sure what I can wear on my feet since they swell a lot and can't wear tongs that go between the big toe and next one. I guess I'll try crocs. Are these good enough in the restaurants? I don't want to go to dinner in my sneakers!

Unfortunately, we won't be renting a car this trip.

Annmarie, there is a Crocs store in the Orlando Airport in the Main Terminal. It is along the food court area. If you have time you could always stop in and see what they have available. I liked browsing in there because they had a number of styles I had never seen before. Most stores where I have shopped only carry a small selection of styles. I never realized there was such a variety.

Hello my fellow SSM09 Cruisers!

Below is the list of people that are participating in the Fish Extender exchange so far.

Also, everyone has two in the room except were I have it listed.

If you need the information on what the Fish Extender is all about or would like to know who to notify if you would like to par take, please see the first post on the first page of this thread.

The ones that have ** in front of them have one adult in the room. The ones that have *** have 3 adults in the room and the ones that have **** have 4 adults in a room.

So far there are 37 cabins.
Please keep in mind the cut off to participate in the Fish Extender exchange is August 12, 2009. This way it gives everyone time to get there items.
If any one would like a list with room numbers and such before the SSM09 send me an e mail (girlwolf@excite.com) or PM me your e mail address and after the cut off I will send you the spreadsheet.

Good morning everyone - happy Tuesday! My you were all busy chatting last night. I went to the oncologist last night and got the all clear to have chemo today. I go in a little later this morning than I normally do. I also have my last one scheduled for August 24th. So hopefully I will be fully finished with chemo in time for the cruise and with a few weeks to get my taste buds back.

Well, I have the suitcase beside me, the computer in front of me so, I can pack and log which suitcase I placed it it.

Maybe then I keep track of where my stuff is:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Well there isn't room in the computer room to keep my suitcase but my packing list does show which suitcase it goes in which makes packing much easier. We do a garment bag, a medium size rolling bag for the cruise and a medium size rolling bag for the road and WDW (this one stays in the car).

Hmmmm! As anyone else noticed how quiet DVC is about SSMC09? DH just asked me if I know who will be onboard with us (all of you are not included):rotfl2: and I said I haven't heard anything yet.

I'm a little disappointed by this as well. My one big gripe is if you aren't going to tell us the theme then take that page off the website. You click on it and it goes to 2008. I think DVC Marketing has been hit by cut backs.

Hi all,

We are going cruising with all of you. We got the call from member services late last week and were informed that our waitlist came through. We have already joined the Fish Extender list and I think the Member Gallery too.

Can't wait to see eveyone.

Faith

Welcome aboard. I did get your info for the gallery and will be updating that this morning.

Sounds like me! DH has all of his stuff ready to go. I still have to go shopping for a few things to wear for this trip. I'm still not sure what I can wear on my feet since they swell a lot and can't wear tongs that go between the big toe and next one. I guess I'll try crocs. Are these good enough in the restaurants? I don't want to go to dinner in my sneakers!

I've worn my Crocs Niles to dinner on a number of cruises. Sadly they stopped making that brand. I got new Crocs sandals for this cruise. You might want to try some of the sport stores (like Dicks or Sports Authority if you have them by you). They have had some of the Crocs styles you could try on.

I'm really hoping they tell us a little more. We are wanting to be better prepared with what to pack. A friend of mine thinks they may show us some of the same stuff from the D23 Expo. Anyone planning on going to that and then rushing to the cruise?

They might have some of the same things. :confused3 I would love to have gone to D23 but just too close to the cruise and we're driving to the cruise.

I am still hoping for Julie Andrews on board:banana::banana::banana:

That would be awesome but I don't see it happening. We'll just have to wait and see how top secret all these things they have planned really are.

We're hoping that they will start booking the 2011 Panama Canal cruises during the SSMC09. It sounds like it would be a lot of fun.

2011 bookings aren't open yet. You can however book a dummy date while on board and then move it. We did this last year. We booked 12/5/09 hoping we would like where they were going in 2010. The Baltics hold no interest to us but then we found out a friends daughter is getting married on one of the 5 night cruises on the Wonder so we transferred out reservation to that.

Oops! missed again! better luck next time! Let's keep talking - maybe it will be tomorrow at this rate!

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Tip Of The Day


Sure Castaway Cay is all about fun in the sun, but what if you want to get out of the sun for a little while?

Here's the tip. Head on over to Castaway Jo's (also known as the Grouper Pavilion). It is a covered game room full of family fun. Shuffleboard, foosball, billiards and ping-pong are all available. There is also a giant checkerboard.

This area at the far end of the family beach is often overlooked so is usually uncrowded. A nice way to get the family out of the sun for a little while.

Love Crocs. I have a pair and used to wear them all the time. They are looking pretty worn now so I wear them just around the house and to garden in. Need to get a new pair.

Here's the tip. Head on over to Castaway Jo's (also known as the Grouper Pavilion). It is a covered game room full of family fun. Shuffleboard, foosball, billiards and ping-pong are all available. There is also a giant checkerboard.

This area at the far end of the family beach is often overlooked so is usually uncrowded. A nice way to get the family out of the sun for a little while.

My goodness this is a talkative bunch! I will be away for a few days, visiting friends and family north of Toronto, until Friday..I don't think I will be able to read up everyone's posts!!

Welcome Faith and Susie !

I am curious to know the theme too for the cruise..Did anyone call DVC? There was no theme that I recall when we went last time (2003) so I don't know when they usually announce it.
It sounds to me like they are not going to say much, here is the text from the site :

"Welcome back to the S.S. Member Cruise Web site. You may be here to unlock a few secrets about the special entertainment in the works for this year's voyage. But here's the thing. We can't tell you. Why? Because we're taking our shows a step further this year and working with our friends at the Walt Disney Animation Studios to show you things you've never seen before. Things nobody has seen before. Things that could get us fired if we blabbed about them online.

They're good things, and they'll come to those who wait.

All of us at Disney Vacation Club are looking forward to sailing with you again on the waves of Disney Inspirations. See you onboard"


Have a great week everyone! :cheer2:

Now I know we are all very excited for this upcoming cruise but......

Does anyone have any thoughts on the dates for the 2010 Member Cruise?

I was looking at the 2010 dates listed for the 4 night cruises in September and October and I do not see any open dates where the SSMC10 would fit in.

I then looked at the 7 nights and (if I figured it out correctly) the Magic will not return until Oct 1 from the European tour. After that the next 7 night cruise is 10/16?

Not sure if they would need that time to maintenance the ship or if maybe just maybe there would be a 7 night for DVC. :worship:

Since this is my first cruise EVER I am not sure how the schedule usually works. I'm pretty sure that the Member Cruises have always been in Sept/Oct time frame.

Any thoughts, speculations??? Figured I would get some ideas flowing here.

We are sitting here watching Bill Engvall (sp) on the Comedy Channel just laughing our behinds off. I love him. He is so funny. I would love to go see him live.

Here's your sign!

I have to admit those guys crack me up :lmao: .

Sounds like me! DH has all of his stuff ready to go. I still have to go shopping for a few things to wear for this trip. I'm still not sure what I can wear on my feet since they swell a lot and can't wear tongs that go between the big toe and next one. I guess I'll try crocs. Are these good enough in the restaurants? I don't want to go to dinner in my sneakers!

Thanks for such a quick response. I have tried several clogs in my closet and can't where any of them. :rolleyes1

Annmarie

I've had several sandals that I absolutely love but with what's going on, I can't have something betweek my toes and I'm not sure I'll do with something going across the top. I even have a lot of those too! What a pain!

Everyone seems to have their own particular comfortable shoe for Disney. I used to wear Crocs when I worked (health unit coordinator at the local hospital), so I know they work; the only problem is they make me too hot in the summer. The last trip we made to WDW I wore Teva Mush flip-flops the whole time and never had a blister or sore feet! And most flip-flops do not work for me. They also have an arch built in, which most do not. Love them! Now, however, after months of pain due to lower back spasms, I have had to buy MBTs (on the recommendation of my doctor), which are mongo expensive. But they work! A day or two of wearing these crazy-looking shoes and my back pain was gone :worship: . So I'll probably be found in my MBTs and my Teva Mush most of the time. It really is an individual thing since everyone's feet are different.

Night all I am going to bed,,,its been a long day. Got a new computer at work, and guess what nothing works right. I can't get on the internet, can't print, some of my programs are missing and they have been working on it for over a month:confused3:confused3

Night:cloud9:

Oh, I just HATE changing computers. It's like going from the most comfortable slippers into new annoying shoes that give you blisters!

Good morning everyone - happy Tuesday! My you were all busy chatting last night. I went to the oncologist last night and got the all clear to have chemo today. I go in a little later this morning than I normally do. I also have my last one scheduled for August 24th. So hopefully I will be fully finished with chemo in time for the cruise and with a few weeks to get my taste buds back.

Mary, big doses of pixie dust for you that things work out well. pixiedust:pixiedust:pixiedust:pixiedust:pixiedust:

I'm a little disappointed by this as well. My one big gripe is if you aren't going to tell us the theme then take that page off the website. You click on it and it goes to 2008. I think DVC Marketing has been hit by cut backs.

I hope you're wrong, but I'm afraid you're right :sad1:

They might have some of the same things. :confused3 I would love to have gone to D23 but just too close to the cruise and we're driving to the cruise.

I was wondering about that, too. Maybe they'll bring all the stuff from the D23 expo for us. Who knows? They really should give us a little feel for what to expect. I guess we're lucky though; since it's our first member cruise, we have nothing to compare it against.

2011 bookings aren't open yet. You can however book a dummy date while on board and then move it. We did this last year. We booked 12/5/09 hoping we would like where they were going in 2010. The Baltics hold no interest to us but then we found out a friends daughter is getting married on one of the 5 night cruises on the Wonder so we transferred out reservation to that.

We'd really love to be able to book a trip aboard one of the new ships, too, especially one of the maiden voyages.



It makes me nervse that there is not theme yet. I am worried that it will be a flop

I guess we're trying to keep our expectations low and just enjoy the cruise. Hey, two days at CC...how bad could it be ;) ?

Here's a question: Anyone have any thoughts about what movies they'll be playing on our cruise? And is there time for movies on the member cruise?

Can't wait to hear all about it. Have Fun!!!! :yay:

We are so envious that you're getting to go now. Have a fabulous time and please let us know how it was (besides MAGICal and WONDERful, of course).




Thanks! I'm just about ready to head out of the office, got just a couple of things to do. Talk to everyone next week.

I'll check with Captain Henry or Captain John when I am on to see if the Wonder is scheduled for a dry dock in September 2010 at all, that may be one reason why there isn't any cruises scheduled then.

Okay! See everyone next week.

Thanks for the kind words Billy. Wish you were sailing with us this time.

We're still on the fence about 2010. It is another 4 day or if we feel DVC really dropped the ball on this one we most likely won't be on it. We already have two big trips planned for next year one being a cruise with 2 stops at CC. We'll just have to wait and see. :)

My wife and I will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary and staying at BLT with a MK view on Thurs and Fri night. We went to the open mouse a couple weeks ago and were very impressed with the resort. We are looking forward to trying out the accomodations and watching the MK fireworks from the roof.

Annmarie, there is a Crocs store in the Orlando Airport in the Main Terminal. It is along the food court area. If you have time you could always stop in and see what they have available. I liked browsing in there because they had a number of styles I had never seen before. Most stores where I have shopped only carry a small selection of styles. I never realized there was such a variety.

Regards, Lisa

Great idea! Except DH is going to say . . ."I thought Magical Express is over there.:rotfl2:

Gee, Billy, I wish you were going on this cruise so we could meet. We're only about 45 minutes from Barnegat. DH's sister used to live there, but has now gone to NC. It's a nice area there.

Hi Mike!

Thanks for the information.

I was on both the DCL site and the DIS site checking out dates and they both show a 9/12/10. I am not sure where you are seeing the missing 9/12 date.

Maybe the DCL site is not consistent in their information. I am in the cruises-destinations/bahamas/itineraries/4-night-bahamian-cruise. On that page I am looking at the Sail Dates tab.

But the 9/12 date would make sense as it corresponds to this years time frame.

Chris - I recall reading that your DH was packed and ready to go. Good for him! :thumbsup2 I was wondering....how are the girls handling your upcoming trip? At their age I am sure they are excited about having some time without the parents. Gives them a little bit of independence. I was thinking it would be nice to plan an adult trip. I did my first 'mom only' trip last September over the first weekend of the Food & Wine. That was a lot of fun. Very relaxing. Maybe a nice relaxing cruise one day might just be what I need. Ahhhhh. Maybe when the new ship comes out in 2011. I WILL be done my masters by then. At least I better be. If I am not done by that time then I will never get it.

Monika (& Flo) Thanks for the shipping details. That is very helpful in the event I decide to ship my things. I can not believe we are up to 37 cabins. Wow. We may need to bring 2 extra suitcases for the trip home.

We are just so excited and really looking forward to meeting everyone.

And, I have to confess. I did not do any work for my research paper this week. :sad2: I was just too busy with work .... and trying to keep up with all the posts out here that I just did not do it. :sad1: Maybe a little too burned out after last week. I will be paying the price over the next two weeks.

Have a good night and a GREAT Wednesday!! Stay cool and dry!!

Thanks for asking Lisa. Yep I'm on round #11 with one more to go. Yesterday wasn't too bad but I was pretty beat. Unfortunately last night wasn't good at all. I was up most of the night and even got sick about 3 am. First time I've really gotten sick from the treatment. I do have pills I can take and will pack them to take to work to use if I feel like I'm getting stick again.

Now I know we are all very excited for this upcoming cruise but......

Does anyone have any thoughts on the dates for the 2010 Member Cruise?

I was looking at the 2010 dates listed for the 4 night cruises in September and October and I do not see any open dates where the SSMC10 would fit in.

I then looked at the 7 nights and (if I figured it out correctly) the Magic will not return until Oct 1 from the European tour. After that the next 7 night cruise is 10/16?

Not sure if they would need that time to maintenance the ship or if maybe just maybe there would be a 7 night for DVC. :worship:

Since this is my first cruise EVER I am not sure how the schedule usually works. I'm pretty sure that the Member Cruises have always been in Sept/Oct time frame.

Any thoughts, speculations??? Figured I would get some ideas flowing here.

10/1 - 10/16 sounds more like dry dock for the Magic. The last time they had dry dock was after they came back from the West Coast last year.

The very first Member Cruise was in February back in 2003. Since then it has been in the September/October time frame.

Lisa - Well, the girls are handling it ok. I guess. They are bummed that they are not going, but with this time of year and all they have going on in school, it is just not possible to take them out this time. And they understand that. I'm still debating on what to do with/for them while we are gone. My parents live right in front of us so they will be around to watch them. I was thinking of having my niece, who will be 18 on Sept 4th come over and stay with them too. Only thing is she has a boyfriend and they are together all the time and I don't want him over here all the time or, :scared1: spending the night! Then I have my sister. She will do anything to not be at her house with her husband. He is a, not sure what you call him, but a real downer. So, I'm not quite sure what I'm doing yet.

My hardest problem is that I will be out of contact with them while on the cruise. So I hope I don't worry to bad about them. But I will. It's a me thing.

It is a mom thing!:) I would be the same.

I am going to get the internet package so that I can keep in contact with my house. This way I can be in contact with my DS. I know he is older but this is the first time we are leaving him home. When we go on vacation he is usualy with us. I don't see him having any partys (I hope).

Hi Mike!

Thanks for the information.

I was on both the DCL site and the DIS site checking out dates and they both show a 9/12/10. I am not sure where you are seeing the missing 9/12 date.

Maybe the DCL site is not consistent in their information. I am in the cruises-destinations/bahamas/itineraries/4-night-bahamian-cruise. On that page I am looking at the Sail Dates tab.

But the 9/12 date would make sense as it corresponds to this years time frame.

Regards,
Lisa

I used both Book/Find a Cruise and the Cruise Search on the main page and neither show a 9/12/2010 sail date for the Wonder.

Chris,

It is a mom thing!:) I would be the same.

I am going to get the internet package so that I can keep in contact with my house. This way I can be in contact with my DS. I know he is older but this is the first time we are leaving him home. When we go on vacation he is usualy with us. I don't see him having any partys (I hope).

take care

Yeah, I don't think my girls will have any party's either. Now my niece and nephew, that is a different story! :rotfl2: They are twins and double trouble! :laughing: No, not really. They are good kids!

Mary,After all these DVC cruises which one would you say was the most rememberable.I know all of them would have something special or not so special.I was only on the legends cruise and I thought that was very special seeing all of the people who made Disney what it is.

I felt some disappointment when you said 2009 could be your last.What has DVC done to disappoint you with the Cruise.You could post or PM me so I would have some insight on what to do about the 2010 cruise.I also would like to o the 5 day cruise in 2010.

Billy,

My two favorites were 2005 and 2007. I thought 2005 was the best organized and had the best communication. 2007 by far has the best theme and best guests. The absolute best cruise moment...Richard Sherman's show. I have such love and respect for that man and that night brought back my childhood.

As for this year - communication has been non-existant. They have updated the web page exactly once telling us they couldn't tell us anything that it was top secret. Well I look at this a bit like I look at movie reviewers who say the studio didn't sent out any advance clip to review. Makes you wonder how good it is. Plus if you go to the web page there is a tab for the cruise theme and it is still showing 2008. If you aren't going to tell us the theme then just take it down.

As for 2009 what will keep us away is if it is another 4 day. Been there done that too many times. If they do a 7 day we will most likely leap at it. Also we'll see how they do once we are on the ship. My big fear is that with D23 days before the cruise all the big Disney things will be happening there and not on the cruise.

I hope I'm wrong but I really think DVC Marketing has been hit by cut-backs and this just isn't a priority any more.

As for the other Member Cruises:

2003 was a blast because it was the first one. Only down side - no day at sea which I love.

2006 was in my opinion the worst. Bad communication, DVC staff didn't want to interact, Jim Lewis outright lied when he said the 2007 cruise hadn't been decided on even though the dates had already been leaked on the internet. Then a month later we find out the date are there, there is a 2007 cruise but sorry all you former cruisers we're giving first timers a shot and you can have what's left over. This back fired on them as many first timers who "won" the lottery opted not to book and other first timers who were told they didn't win the lottery and could try with the rest of us were so pissed (and had already made other plans) that when they got the call they too said no.

2008 was good but not great. Liked some of the guests but didn't really like the others. The highlight for me was the last evening show where they had the 3 leading ladies of Broadway sing for us.


So there you have it. Probably more than you wanted to know. :lmao:

Where is everyone? :confused3 Did I scare you all away? I hope not.

Honestly you will have a blast on the cruise. After all if nothing else you are spending 2 days at Castaway Cat, will get some nice gifts, some good entertainment, and a chance to add on with some great incentives.

If it makes you feel any better the odd year cruises are the ones I've liked best. Think of it like the Star Trek movies (in that case the even ones were the best but you get the idea). :)

I went to check on my boys tonight- they share a room, and I found that my two year old had thrown up all over the place- poor thing :sick: and he didn't even get up to come and get me or Ryan. So... I just cleaned the carpet again- for the second time this week (the first time was just because it needed it!) It also figure that I washed all of the bedding today too- and will be doing that again tomorrow! :headache:

I was planning on working on my FE's tonight! :mad:

So sorry to hear about your sick DS, hopefully he is feeling better today and you were able to get some sleep.
