You got it right!!

Welcome to our group. If you check out the links in my signature you can see what we have been planning. I would love to add you to the roster if you would like. I am including Dis name, First names of all traveling with you, ages of kids, stateroom number, Dining time (early or late), Any special celebration and planned shore excrusions.

Just let me know what if any of this info you would like added. Also check out our plans, we would love to include you. We are no longer able to meet at WDW before the cruise as there was a minor medical emergency and our host is no longer going to be cruising with us.

My day is not starting out very good. Couldn't afford to buy plants for my front yard so I bought seeds and planted then about 4 weeks ago they were still really small but finally had a good start and my 30 year old son comes in this morning and asked me if I had planted anything in the pots and then anounces he thought they were weeds and pulled each and every one. Then he announced "it's not a big deal" I am so angry I could just explode. I was home all he had to do was ask. The kid is not dumb apparently can't make good decisions. Now my job is to try not to let this spoil the rest of my day. Got to go make some time up at work. Lois

And I'm glad to hear hannacanna is safely making her way to tampa. (You will be together again soon. : )
This trip is just sneaking right up on us, and I can't wait! We are very excited to meet everyone, and very excited for our first cruise.

Welcome to our little group!
We're a wacky bunch... so read up and see what we will be doing as "meets" and other activities.
So... how many will be sailing with you? Is this you're first cruise?

welcome ohgawrsh to the best sailing on the high seas. there is no question that this group is going to rock the boat because WE ROCK! glad to have you with us. be prepared for adventure!

lois...awwww your poor little plants! that is so sad! i can't even take care of plants on my own, i'm not good with them at all. i was once responsible for my DP's 100 year old fern having a near-death experience. it is very disappointing but don't let it ruin your day, life will go on and as john from cincinnati says: tomorrow is another day. (any HBO john from cincinnati fans on this thread?) perhaps something wonderful will happen like you'll just happen to see some new flowers on sale! the universe has an uncanny way of bringing everything back into balance.

speaking of my DP she is doing GREAT! she is now in georgia, almost to savannah and i told her to make sure to stop there because savannah is beautiful. last night she and her mom stayed at "South of the Border" that kitschy mexican pitstop in the carolinas. they said it was hilarious and they're having a great time. DP even called me to exclaim "i just had a dozen hushpuppies and they were only $1.10!" needless to say she's just a teeny bit excited about being back in the south.

my day is feeling overwhelming. i am trying to sort through our stuff and pack it and there's just WAY TOO MUCH of it. even worse i am such a sentamentalist so it's hard for me to part with things, i get very attached to books, clothes, etc anything that has sentimental value. but then i remember that i have to actually MOVE it and it makes me freak out! as you can see i am procrastinating this very minute by posting on the DIS!

Gooooooooooooooood afternoon, cruisers!
So I believe today OFFICIALLY marks 8 WEEKS UNTIL SAILAWAY!!!!!!!!!! How exciting is THAT? And I know I am spoiled, but it feels like it's been FOREVER since our last cruise since it was 2 years ago and we normally cruised multiple times per year since I worked for Disney! The whole fam is SOOOOO excited!
hey, does anyone have a little girl in their party who is anywhere from 3-5 years old? We are looking for a playmate for my niece so that she will enjoy the Oceaneers Club more.

Welcome newbeees. We have a very diverse but fun group.
We just got back from a short trip to WDW last week. We went for the 4th of July fireworks. We saw MK Fantasy In The Sky on 7/3, on 7/4 we saw MGM special 4th fireworks at 9PM (in the rain) and then ran to catch a bus to Epcot so we could see the 10PM Illuminations and special 4th fireworks.
I think all the running in the rain did us in. I had a summer cold last week, now DH is coughing and sneezing today. Oh well, we have 8 weeks to double up on the Airbourne. Looking forward to our cruise.

To All-

My cousin's son is visting us for 10 days. We spent yesterday at EPCOT, tommorow we are going to visit MGM. The annual passes spoil us. We don't normally have to do everything thing in a day. With David in town, we need to make sure we hit all the highlights.

Hope all is well-

Lucky DOGS!!!!!! Must be nice to just jump on in the car and head over to epcot! hahaha Lucky, lucky dogs! Ride test track for me!
Lois..... Sorry about your plants, that's terrible.

We are going to be on the Sept 8th cruise too!

This is my first post, so I hope it's in the right spot!!

 

[stina]

Cingular... soon I too will be an annual passholder! I can't wait! I love the idea of being able to attend all those Disney events I never could like Flower & Garden and the Food & Wine festival and of course Christmas festivities!

Just wanted to report that Hannacanna made it to Tampa safely last night. She is having a ton of fun with my sister. They already went to Bahama Breeze and are on their way to the beach! Luuuuuccckkky! She is lonely though and missing me and wants me to come down soon. Which of course is dependent on her securing a job. But she has some good contacts so I think it won't be too long.

I on the other hand am slogging through packing up. Ugh What an ordeal. We haven't moved in 5 years so I've accumulated quite a bit since then and frankly I'd like to just throw it all in the pond! But no, I am being sensible and sorting and packing and donating lots and lots of stuff. I have a really hard time actually throwing things out, I am an avid recycler and I hate the thought of perfectly good usable stuff going in a landfill, so I work hard to sort through it all. Man, I sure am gonna need this cruise after all this is done!

I am looking forward to becoming an official "Floridian". It will be a huge culture change for me but I am sure one for the better. And of course I'll be able to hang out with even more friendly DISers and play host to the Self Party Posse when they come to visit. Yes Donna we WILL miss you on this cruise! I mean who are we gonna get to shoot people with a watergun? For those who don't know, last cruise Donna decided to take it upon herself to get some cruisers to R-E-L-A-X on boarding day by shooting at them with a watergun. It was very very funny.

[Donnica]

Yes I did just come back from a cruise but we all know it certainly wan't the SAME!!!!!!!! Having drinks for me is nice but you know how I drink so be sure to do it right.

You mean.... you're NOT going to help people relax via watergun? Oh... see... that's not nice.
