Hi Everybody!!!

Hey Andrew! Count us in!!! You may recall we sailed together on the Magic in August '06!

We just booked this while on the Wonder this weekend. Cast is me, DH John and DS Josh (will be 16), and DTwins Kieran and Ryan (they'll be 12 - yikes!).

And, can it be...we're sailing with the renowned CustardTart of Fun with Dick and Kaz fame?!!! How fun will that be!

And y'all already have 16 pages on this thread - what a riot! The time is sure to go by fast with this fun group!

Looking forward to reading up on this thread.

TTFN!

Welcome ( back) yes that was a great cruise, so will this be, please post your details as per the front page post 1, and I will add them in.

This will help if we form a website.

The website seems to work out nicely then like you said we could post pics. etc...That is what we are doing for my Oct. cruise tooo..

I only asked about the TA since this cruise for Oct. many of us booked with one TA and got Great onboards as well as a group rate and we are getting some extras too for being a group. Palo's brunch or a welcome cocktail reception. The OB she gave me for this cruise was $400.00 if your interested maybe we could get a small group together with this TA and then we could all get a cheaper price and get the group ammenities. I can send you her info. if your interested. What is DU offering for OBC??Pm me if you want her info....

They say the authorization will be in another 72 hours. If you ask me I think someone at the DR. office messed up but not sure. OH, I was not excited to have the surgery really but was kind of mentally prepared if you know what I mean?? Plus, we had arranged someone to watch the kids etc.....Just kind of a pain if you know what I mean??!!!

Well, I guess it all happens for a reason!!! I was nervous that I would not be ok to go to the Hannah Montana concert next week but not a biggie now since not having the surgery.. Plus, the kids are going to freak when they find out they are going to the HM concert........

Pictures help, on a secure Site with passwords, it helps me recognize people and also helps my kids find other kids, on the last three cruises the kids have found befriend and Diss's within Min's of getting on board and once in the parks before.

For our part of the state they are saying

Thursday
Snow and freezing rain in the morning...then snow and sleet in the afternoon. Patchy fog. Snow and sleet accumulation of 4 to 6 inches. Highs in the lower 30s.

Thursday Night
Freezing rain...snow and sleet likely in the evening...then a chance of snow...freezing rain and sleet after midnight. Patchy fog in the evening. Total accumulation of 4 to 8 inches. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent.



Glad I took thrusday and Friday off as vacation days,

Oh yes that is what we have for our October cruise we have a password and only email it to people who are on our cruise. This way it is safe to post pictures on and it is fun to be able to reconize each other when we cruise. I am visual and need a name with the face.....

Are you going to the parks after or before the cruise. We are going to go before to SSR?? I think I remember you mentioning a Villa but I think you said after the cruise??

I wish we could do after but got to get the kids back for school....................

My kids came home saying, "Mommy, we are not going to have school tomorrow!!!!!!" UGH!!! I hate snow. Then more on Sat. night into Sunday now....We were supposed to go to a friends house in Milford to see his house that gets reconized on the news for all of the lights etc..But not sure if we will be going now or not........

Oh, I finally got approval I think from the insurance for my surgery they now have it rescheduled for the 26th of December.....Insurance companies drive me nuts.. Sorry had to vent!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Ugh!! Tonight well tomorrow they are prediciting more snow here and lots....UGH!! I hate winter!!!!!!!!!!

I do too, and we don't have it nearly as bad as you all up north!!! Ridiculously last week my kids' school cancelled two different days due to snow. We only had a couple of inches on the ground and they cancelled!!!! Crazy considering later on in the winter they won't even bat an eye at snow like that. How much are they saying you could get?

Glad they got it squared away for you.

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Oooh any chance of photos, Kristin??? Would love to see their faces!!!

I've decided to surprise my DS with our trip tomorrow evening rather than waiting until the penny drops on the following morning. I'm copying an idea I saw on YouTube - getting him to read from a card that informs him of the trip while being filmed!!! Fingers crossed for a positive reaction...


Sounds great!

Karen and Kristin-

How fun!!! How can you keep secrets like that? I get too excited and blab.

We don't have severe winters and moving to Florida is my dream too... Seriously tho', hope it's not too bad for you guys...

...Are you going to the parks after or before the cruise. We are going to go before to SSR??

DS and I are going to SSR for the 1st time on Friday! This was his choice of DVC property as he lurves DTD... We might go nuts after the cruise and book AKV concierge for a week...

Oh, I finally got approval I think from the insurance for my surgery they now have it rescheduled for the 26th of December.....Insurance companies drive me nuts.. Sorry had to vent!!!!!!!!!!

Oh wow! Right after Christmas!! Good luck with that...
