HI,
I am starting this so the kdis can chat without bothering any of the grown-ups. Subsequent posts on this thread under my user name will be by my daughter Marika unless otherwise stated.

Hi. Sorry that we had to move the thread. There was someone who did not like that we were posting on it. I do not know why:confused3. However it might be nice to have our own kids thread. My favorite school subject is tech. We are building our own miniture motor boats for it (Not out of a kit or with instructions or something like that.). What is your favorite ride at Disney? My favorite ride is Mission Space. Can you go on Mission Space I know a lot of people cannot. Do you like theatre? I love it. What is your favorite thing to do for theatre? I like running follow spot. For pirate night my Mom always makes our costumes (She can sew the coolest costumes.) mine is black pants an off white sort of baggy shirt that laces up at the top and a sash (a foam sword in the sash ofcourse) and I always put my hair in a bunch of little braids and I usually have a bandannapirate:. Do you usually dress up for formal night? I always do I have the most gorgeus dress and then my little brother Rio always wear a tux and escorts me down the stairs (He is big on formal night.). My favorite ship is the Wonder however it usually only does short cruises and all of our friends are on the Magic.

Hi we are Samantha (9) and Alyia (8). This will be our 2nd Disney cruise, but our first 7 day.

Samantha: Interests: Pokemon, Littlest Pet Shop, animals/bugs, nature, science experiments,softball and cheerleading.
Not an all out girly, girl... but has her moments. Not into princesses but likes the castles. Likes bright fun colors. Outgoing. I am my town's "Little Miss" 2008 queen.

Alyia: Interests: Barbie, Littlest Pet Shop, dress up, animals, ballet, Brownies/Girl Scouts and cheerleading.
More of a girly girl then her sister. Picky eater. I am on the autism spectrum (PDD) but please don't let that stop anyone from trying to be my friend. It just takes me longer to get to know a person, places or to think sometimes.

Both can't wait for the cruise, they liked it better then Disney World!
Can't wait to meet our new friends. These are our ages at the time of sailing.

NHdisneylover
03-26-2009, 12:51 PM
Hi. It's Rio. Sean yes you may escort my sister:groom::blush:.


Hi Alyia. It's nice to meet you. I like to tap dane to:dancer:and i'm 10(years old). We have some things in common. like I'd go to girl scouts if I coud:sad1:(but I can't.).

Hi Sean.

It took me four years to get my Black Belt.

The way I post a photo is we have an account at photobucket.com (it is free). I upload the photo I want to photobucket. Then uer the photo on photobucket are different "addresses" Copy the bottom one (an IMG code) and put that copy into your post. It will just be a bunch of letters and numbers but when you click post it shows up as the picture. Does that make sense?

How long has it been since you went to Disney? My family usually goes at least once each year. Did you go on the intense version of Mission Space or the newer one they made?

No my Dad is not in the military and no we do not live in however you spell it. He is an engineer and used to work with making gaskets and seals (he has three US patents) Now he works in total cost down of engineering.

It might be nice if you where to escort me :groom::blush:however we hardly know each other. Can we think about that once we know each other a little better?





Hi Samantha. I am Marika. I am twelve years old. I like reading, karate, and Girl Scouts. My favorite types of books are sci-fi and mystery. My favorite writers are Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes stories), Robert A. Heinlein (awesome sci-fi writer), and Robin McKinley (wonderful fantasy writer). Do you like reading? Have you ever made a citrus battery? If you like science experiments :magnify:that might be fun and it is not too hard. I am sure that you will love the cruise:sail:. In my opinion three nights are just too short seven nights are awesome! However the best is a trans Atlantic (14 nights). Do you like pirate nightpirate:? I love it. What about formal night:groom:? I love it as well. It is cool that you like cheerleading:cheer2:. Who is your favorite character?



Hi Alyia. I am Marika. I am twelve years old. I love reading, karate, and Girl Scouts. I am a Black Belt in karate. It is cool that you are a Girl Scout as well. I am a Cadet. About where do you live? I live near Heidelberg in Germany. What is your favorite ride at Disney? mine is Mission Space. Have you ever been on Mission Space? It is cool that you like cheerleading:cheer2:. It sounds like you could be a little like my brother Rio. He is ten and he takes ballet and is a picky eater as well. Do you like pirate night pirate:and/or formal night:groom: I love them both. Who is your favorite character?


Marika:rose:

Hi Sean,

I just got back from my class trip to Sonnebers a hour ago. It was so much fun. We got to go on a high ropes course, a low ropes course (we had to try to figure out how to get everybody across without touching the ground once.), a eight km GPS walk (through snow and up mountains), to a toy museum, an aquarium, and on some really cool seven person bikes. My favorite Disney character is Belle. I think I am a lot like her. Do you like poetry? I really like poetry.

From,
Marika:rose:

George Rada
04-04-2009, 07:23 AM

George Rada

NHdisneylover
04-07-2009, 11:50 AM
Sorry I have not responded for a while. I have been quite busy lately. My favorite type of poetry is free verse (so long as it rymes). Do you like writing poems? I love writing poems. Here is one I just wrote.


Sailing
Sailing on the ocean.
Over waves and ocean swells.
Different ports you visit.
Beachs covered up with shells.
When I am on land I always miss it.
The themed and special nights.
The friends you make and never lose.
A beautiful horizon always just in sight.
I love to cruise.
As you see.
It's the perfect trip for me.

It is not very good I just scribbled it down. However I love writing them.

Marika:rose:

George Rada
04-07-2009, 03:39 PM

Haiku on Disney cruise


friends on turn and rocks
waves on the side of the cruise
one friend above all

George Rada
04-07-2009, 03:56 PM

long black hair

black belt champ

Nice poems Sean. You are good at not forcing a rhyme. Do you like poetry and/or writing poems Rio, Alyia, and Samamtha? If either of you do what is your favorite type?

Marika:rose:

NHdisneylover
04-09-2009, 10:57 AM
Yes I love reading poems. My favorite poet is Shel Silverstein. Who is yours? I do not really like writing poems. However I did write one once and here it is.

Tap

I love to tap.
When I tap it is a beat I rap.
My favorite step is shuffle step.
Tap dance takes a lot of pep.
When I tap I feel my feet lift of the floor.
Now I must say goodbye for I am tapping out the door.

Hello to all. I want to try out something new on here. My Mom normally posts a question of the week on the regular Dis thread. I thought it could be fun and wished to try it out. So here is a sample question:

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I want to be an areo space engineer or work in total cost down and efficency of engineering. Please post your answers and tell me what you think. If you like it I could try to post a question each week.

Marika:rose:

NHdisneylover
05-12-2009, 12:29 PM
Hi everyone,

Sorry, I have been off so long. I have been really busy lately. I see no real reason why we cannot have to questions of the week. Good idea Sean:thumbsup2. My answer is "I could not possibly choose one thing." (I could not even choose a few). I have never heard of World of Warcraft however it sounds fairly neat.

Marika:rose:

Hello everyone,

Sorry, I have hardly posted. My teachers have been piling homework on me and I have had a lot of tests since it is near the end of the year:teacher:. Fairly neat means about the same as pretty interesting and is just the way I talk (I read a lot of old books and Isuppose it rubs off). However do not worry I do not think that commenting on it is mean (I actually get that a lot.). So anyways, how are you? I am fine excepting the fact that I am extremely busy. What is World of Warcraft:confused:? Because as I mentioned earlier it sounds like it could be neat.

Hello to all,

Here is another question of the week because it seemed to go over well last time.

What Disney character would you say you are most like?

I would say Belle from Beauty and the Beast because she loves to read, does not like people just because they are good looking, has a strong character, is stubborn, always stands out a little, and has brown hair and brown eyes like me. Please answer.

From,
Marika:rose:

Hi!

This is Jessica! I play World of Warcraft. I have a level 30 mage named Hermione who has a horse, and level 59 death knight named Sva.

My Disney character is Jasmine, followed by Belle.

I am 9 years old and just finishing 3rd grade.

Can't wait for the December cruise.

Jess

Hello Jess,

My name is Marika and I am twelve years old. I live in Germany (in the suburbs of Heidlberg). My hobbys are karate, reading, and girlscouts. I am a black belt in karate. My favorite authors are Robin McKinley (Fantasy-Spindles End, Outlaws of Sherwood, Hero and the Crown, and The Blue Sword), Robert A. Heinlein (Science Fiction-Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Red Planet), and Sir Athur Conan Doyle (Mystery-Sherlock Holmes Stories). I am a Cadet in girlscouts. What are your hobbys? Have you ever cruised Disney before? I have multiple times. I you have I am sure you cannot wait to do so again and if not trust me you are in for the time of your life. I defiently agree Jasmine is awesome (and also so are any of the other princesses who stand up for themselves).

Marika:rose:

fluvannaj
07-06-2009, 10:11 AM
Right now, my favorite thing to read is Calvin and Hobbes. I recently discovered the books my parents had of these funny comics. I do Tai Kwon Do (my family and I just got our Red belts). Congratulations on the Black Belt. We hope to earn ours in a year or so.

I like to swim, play computer games and watch tv (favorites right now are Avatar:The Last Airbender, Hannah Montana, Jonas, Bones, NCIS).

I have done 1 other cruise, a 7 night Disney Western Cruise in November of 2005. I am really looking forward to this one.

Jessica:flower3:

NHdisneylover
07-09-2009, 08:22 AM
Hi Jess,

It is neat that you also do marshal arts. I do not understand much about Tai Kwon Do belt system, however, red belt sounds awesome. Nice job:thumbsup2. It sounds like your whole family does Tai Kwon Do. I bet you like having people to practice with. No one else in my family is particulary in to karate. Do you have any siblings? I have one little brother named Rio:earsboy:. Rio is ten years old and posts occasionally. Where are you from? As I said previously I live in Germany, however, I used to live in New Hampshire. Were you on the Magic last time you cruised? I know it seems sort of silly since you were on a 7 night, however, once in a while the Wonder does nights. My favorite ship (as in desighn syle) is the Wonder. The only problem is the Wonder's cruises are generally much to short and all our friends are on the Magic. It will be nice to have a few more kids posting here.

Marika:rose:(rose is my middle name)

PS If you are curious when I have cruised Disney numerous times. I also have cruised Princess:goodvibes a few times and Carnival:( once. Have you cruised on anything other than Disney before?

NHdisneylover
07-09-2009, 12:22 PM
Hi. I'm Rio and I'm 10 years old. I like dancing:dancer:, singing:mic:, and performing:dance3:. I have been in 5 shows. I have danced since I was 2 years old. I like all types of dance. I have taken Jazz, Ballet, Tap, Lyrical, Tumbling, and Hip Hop. I also like to swim, play computer games, and I like some tv shows.

Rio:mickeybar

fluvannaj
07-11-2009, 09:05 PM
Hello again! This is Jessica. I am an only child and do Tai Kwon Do with my parents. In TKD, red is the last belt before black. We should get our black belts in a little under a year.

I also like dancing, but haven't taken any classes since tap and ballet in preschool. One of my favorite shows right now is So You Think You Can Dance. It is neat you have been in 5 shows, Rio!

Yes, the last ship was the Magic. And the Disney Cruise has been my only cruise so far. I have been to Walt Disney World about 20 times.

I think I said before, I am 9 and will still be 9 on the cruise. I live in NC. Why did you move from New Hampshire to Germany? Do you like Germany??

Can't wait to cruise. We are trying to talk my aunt and uncle into cruising with us with my 2 cousins.

Hello,

Sorry, I have not posted for a bit. I was at a summer camp right near Berlin. It was really fun. It was a German language Summer camp. So in the mornings we had German lessons and in the afternoons different activities. I really liked that it was right along the lake so I could take sailing lessons there, we got to stay in (relatively) nice college dorms (rather than normal Summer camp dusty cabin in the middle of the woods sort of accomodations), and on each Wednesday and Sunday we got to go on excursions in to Berlin. Unfortunatly I cannot post a lot since we got back late today (on train) and I am quite tired. I do not know the time in the USA, however, here it is 1:11 am (and if I was smart I would be asleep already). I will post more tomorrow.

Hello Everybody,

Sorry, I have not posted in quite some time my grandparents are visiting from Colorado and I just got back from a trip to Denmark stopping at Berlin on the way which was really fun. My family moved to Germany mainly due to my Father's work (he was an engineer for a international company based out of Germany, however, is now working as a consultant in total cost down and efficency of engineering and the LEAN processing system working at the same company, however, a different division). I love it in Germany. I especially love how beautiful it is, the history here, and being able to get places on my own. I can either walk, bike, take the tram, or the train to get anywhere I want/need to go. For example I take the tram to the library, Bismark Platz, and school, bike to grocery stores and restraunts, walk to karate class and more restraunts, take the train to German Class. I could even take the train home from Summer Camp in Berlin. Here's another question (though it is not really fair to call it of the week)



What is your Favorite Disney Animated Movie?

Mine are probably Beauty and the Beast, Pochahontas and Aladin.

Marika:rose:

NHdisneylover
09-03-2009, 08:20 AM
Sorry, I have not posted for a long time (Marika might have posted a short something for me about me). I have been busy. Hi Jess anther thing I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really extrodinarily love is Michael Jacksons music. As for the questions of the week that is a fabulous incredible wonderful fantastic idea. I would say I am most like Ryan Evans from High School Musical. When I grow up I want to be a Performer on the Disney Magic. My favorite things about the cruise are Mickey Bars/karoke/free icecream/Castaway Cay/ everything else. How am I supposed to choose a favorite Disney Movie when they are all so fantastically fabulously wonderfully amazingly great? Does anyone here like chess or have skype? If so we could play chess over skype together. Chess is absolutely fabulously 100% fantastic!

I've been busy with summer stuff and not on in a while. I started school 2 weeks ago. I wish summer was longer. My favorite parts of a Disney Cruise are the kid clubs, the pool, Castaway Cay, and the spud car races. My Dad and I came in 2nd overall last time.

Hi everyone,

Sorry, I have not posted in ages. My school just started. I learned it is really difficult to manage school in German (particularly learning Spanish in German) and it takes up most of my time, however, Fall break (Herbst Ferien) just started and I have a week off.

Welcome on to the Dis to Erik, Holly, Peter, and Sam. Some background information for you. My name is Marika. I am twelve years old. I have one little brother named Rio. He is ten years old. I am from the USA (various states), however, I now live near Heidelberg, Germany. I am in 8th grade. My hobbies include reading, karate, and girl scouts. I have been on ten cruises before (6 Disney:thumbsup2, 3 Princess:goodvibes, 1 Carnival:sad2:).

I am really sorry about your Dad Sean. However, I am really glad that you are still going on the cruise.

In answer to the question of the week. I think the pools and on deck is always nice in good weather. In bad weather the Promenade Lounge can be quite nice. I hang out there with my friend Abby a lot.

We cannot hang out in the Quest because Disney changed it to be a club instead of being open to all. Now there are age limits. If you are close to the edge you can sometimes bump up or down, however, the general rules are:

the Oceaner Club is ages 3 to 7
the Oceaner Lab is ages 8 to 10
Ocean Quest is ages 11 to 13
the Stack is age 14 and up

I believe that would put Peter (maybe) and Holly in the Club, Erik, Sam, Rio, Jessica, Alyia, and Samantha in the Lab and Sean and I in the Quest.

First me, Erik. I went as a spy with night vision goggles and a black suit. You'll see the suit on formal nights on the cruise!

I am looking forward to seeing all of you on the cruise!

Holly here now.
For Halloween, I dressed up as Tinkerbell.

Hi I'm Haley and I am 10 years old. My 3 year-old brother Cameron, my mom and dad, and I are about to sail out on our first Disney cruise! We are very excited. Let me tell you a little about myself.

I love all animals but dogs and dolphins are my two favorites. I have two dogs named Sandy and Cinder. I want to be a Marine Biologist and study dolphins and whales when I grow up. I am a green belt in Tae-kwon-do. I'm also Girl Scouts. I love to read and am reading the first Harry Potter book.

Cameron loves trains, cars, trucks, planes, and helicopters. He also loves dinosaurs especially T-rexs. He loves Spongebob and Thomas the Train.

We are also going to Disney World for a few days before and after. My grandma is coming with us for six days after the cruise. It is her second time coming with us. My favorite thing about Disney World is rides. Definitely rides. Everest and Rockin Roller coaster are my favorites. Cameron finally get's to ride the bigger rides such as Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, and Dinosaur. This is his fourth trip and he is finally tall enough. However, he is still too short for Space Moutain :(

Can't wait to meet each of you!

Haley (from Texas)

Hi this is Jessica!

My favorite part of the ship is the Mickey Pool and the kids clubs. It has been 4 years since I sailed and can't wait. At WDW, my favorite ride is Rockin' Rollercoaster.

I have a red (decided) belt in TaiKwonDo (my parents and I train together). I have a dog and 3 cats.


I do YMCA Indian Princesses with my dad (this year moved up to Indian Explorers).

I can't wait to meet you all on the ship. I got to meet disneycruisin's son a couple of weeks ago at dinner (they live near us).

Can't believe this time next month, :dance3:we'll be on our 3rd day on the ship.

Hi Everyone,

Hello Haley. Dolphins are my favorite animal as well! I also absolutely love to read! Isn't Harry Potter awesome? I am a Cadet in Girl Scouts. How long have you been in Girl Scouts and what are you (Daisy, Brownie, Junior...)? When I grow up I want to be an Areo Space Engineer or a consultant in Lean engineering. A Marine Biologist sounds like a awesome job as well. I cannot wait to meet both you and Cameron on the ship.

Hi Sean. I also love the ocean (if you count Castaway Cay as part of the ship). However, I generally tend to prefer colder water (off the coasts of Denmark and Main are awesome). That does not mean I will not take Castaway Cay or Mexico any day though. I particularly adore buggy boarding. Have you ever buggy boarded? If not you ought to. It is fabulous.

Hello Erik and Holly. Rio and I cannot wait to meet you as well. The lab is awesome. Unfortunately I am too old for it, however, the Quest is great as well and Rio will be in the Lab. Maybe you two can hang out together some.

Hi Jessica. Rockin' Roller Coaster is awesome. However, the one at Disney Land Paris is not nearly so much fun. They got rid of the whole story and all the cool lights! So it is just a fast roller coaster in the dark. No story! What is Indian Princesses? I have never heard of it, however, it sounds like fun.

I cannot wait to see everyone on the cruise!:woohoo:

Hello Everyone,

Hi Sean. Good question of the week. I am going to MVMCP, however, before rather than after the cruise. Have you ever been before? I have, however, I do not remember it very well because I was quite little. Have you ever been to Disney around Christmas time? If not you simply have to see the Osborn Lights. They are gorgeus. All you have to do to edit your post is click the edit button underneath the post. If you want to do more than just basics (like add a smilie) then you click the go advanced button.

Hello Erik. It is to bad you cannot come to MVMCP. Sorry. Will you at least get to go to Disney World some time or another? My family is going the week before the cruise and I am really looking forward to seeing my best friend Abby who lives in Florida.

Hi Jessica. It is too bad you do not get to go to Disney this trip:sad1:. I wager your parents are worried about school:teacher:. My parents probably would have been as well except for we booked this trip ages ago when I was homeschooled.

Hello Sean. I hope you have fun at Disney. It is really quite sad we will not be there the same time (however, I suppose the chances of us being at the same parks on the same day are extrodinarily slim). Have you ever seen the Osborn lights? If so I bet you cannot wait to see them again.

I think we have to get back so dad can get back to work (he'll miss days at Thanksgiving and then Christmas coming up).

Sorry to hear you are fighting the flu! :sick: Hope you are better soon.

We are doing Fish Extenders! They didn't exist when we sailed in 2005 (at least we didin't know about them - only did door magnets).

Hello Everyone,

Hi Jessica. I did not know you were homeschooled too. How neat? Regular school is fine, however, being homeschooled was way better. I particularly miss sleeping in:cloud9:. Your Dad's work is probably the problem:sad2:. My Father's work might have been a problem (I think they just gave him the time of because they think our school will not let us off and we will have to cancel). Any ways whatever the reason we got the time off. Sorry your Dad could not. Hopefully your Mom will leave the school work at home. I think she would because I cannot imagine she would want to teach on vacation any more than you would want to learn on vacation. The worst casinario I can see is if she wants you to do school work on the plane. Hopefully not.

No work on the plane because we are driving down from NC. Maybe in the car?? I hope not.

Dad wants to stop at some WWII air museum on the way down or back.

NHdisneylover
11-11-2009, 11:49 AM
Hello Everyone,

Hi Jessica. The WWII museum sounds like fun. Isn't that sort of stuff so interesting? If you ever ever in Berlin you should definetely check out the Museum of the Escape. It is right near to Check Point Charlie and incredibly interesting. It is about all the ways people found to escape from East Germany when it was communist. It really shows you how horrible that must have been. Anyways, I am glad it sounds like you will not have any school work on the trip. Rio and I probably will have plenty of homework (and plenty of time to do it. It's a ten hour flight!). I have no protest about books at least. I love to read and always bring quite a few books on every trip.

Hello Everyone,

Hi Erik and Holly. On Castaway Cay I will snorkel, swim, bike, play with our floats, and bodyboard (wishing to have my buggyboard). I normally hang out a lot with my best friend Abby, however, unfortunately she is not sailing this trip. Anyways that is alright. We will hang out together. I cannot wait to meet you all.

Hello Jessica. I cannot wait to snorkel as well. Isn't it so much fun? If you can believe it I have never actually participated in the kids clubs on Castaway Cay. I have to much fun on the beach to leave. It does sound like fun, however.

Hi Sean. I am glad you are doing fish extenders. Those will be so much fun. Have you ever done them before? I have and they are awesome. Particularly on the Trans-Atlantic. There were so many dissers that trip we would go in our room for five minutes emptying the fish extenders as we entered. When we left (five minutes later) there would be more in them! Yes, I do have my own cell-phone. However, two things first I do not have a US number (I have a German phone number) and second you should never post your number on a public forum. You should definetely talk to your mother and might be interested in going back and erasing it.

Hello Haley. It is really neat that you are also a Girl Scout. Aren't scouts so much fun. I know I love them. I also had a lot of fun helping out with the local Daisy troop (I love little kids and I love Girl Scouts. What better match. I also helped with the preschool karate class. Same idea except for karate not Girl Scouts.) Any ways back to Girl Scouts. When does your troop sell cookies? My Michigan troop sold cookies around Valentines day. That was perfect. We sold to every man with flowers and sold a ton. However, the NH cookie time was late Autum. Not quite so perfect. Have you ever tried going door to door on cold snow covered NH middle of nowhere rual roads? Not quite so fun. Ofcourse here is the worst. Germany does not do Girl Scouts! However, I am attempting to join the troop on the military base and hope that will work.

I cannot wait to see you all on the trip and do not believe it is just two and a half weeks from now. Thank goodness I should be better by then (Currently I am fighting the flu:sick:).
