Good morning,

[dopeygirl76]

That magnet is awesome!!! Millipie is great!! A big thanks!!!

 

[BigDogHU75]

I am glad everyone likes the magnet. I expect to see some of the magnets posted on your stateroom doors.

dvc deernut - You're welcome. I like your signatures.

 

[BigDogHU75]

I forgot to mention yesterday and almost forgot today.

WE ARE LESS THAN 200 DAYS AWAY!
WE SET SAIL IN 198 DAYS!
​

Before you know it we will be able to book our excursions and make reservations for Palo. Is anyone able to book excursions and onboard amenities 120 days prior to sailing? I am able to book 90 days prior to sailing.

Hi everyone! I'm so excited. No, it's not because tomorrow is finally FRIDAY. It's because part of my gifts for the FEE came in today!!! I'm trying to get as much stuff out of the way now, while the weather is blah, because I know once Summer comes, time is going to fly by and before I know it, it will be time to leave for vacation.

Oooooooooooooooooops our cabin is 1054 sorry let me know if you got my corrrect cabin number.

Marsha, I love the new magnet! dvc deernut I like your siggies, very cute! I can't believe we are less than 200 days away. How awesome is that! So, I've got a question. What is everyone specifically looking forward to on the DVC cruise, those must do, can't wait for it experiences?

Since this is my first DCL cruise and don't have previous experience to go by I am looking forward to Pirate Night (sounds like fun), seeing the Flying Dutchman and any photo ops available with Captain Jack Sparrow do you see a trend here

So, it's a pirate life for you? There are photo ops with Capt. Jack. On the second day at Castaway Cay he was walking on the beach. Photo ops are listed in your daily navigator. It will last the times & locations of where you can take pictures with certain characters.

HI WELL FOR ME WHAT IM LOOKING FORWARD TO IS STEPPING FOOT AGAIN ON THE WONDER. NOW THAT I HAVE BEEN ON HERE IM LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING EVERYONE. I ENJOY TALKING, JUST ASK DW. WE ALSO ENJOY MEETING TO PEOPLE WE HAVE SAT WITH FOR THE LAST 3 MEMBER CRUISES. WE HAVE ALREADY ARRANGED OUR DINNER TABLE. HOPPING FOR GOOD WEATHER. WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR. LAST MEMBER CRUISE IT WAS IN THE 90s AND HUMID. THE ATER AT CCWAS LIKE BATH WATER. IT FELT GOOD SITTING ON THE BEACH IN THE WATER WITH MY BAHAMA MAMA DRINK IN MY HAND AND A SHORT DOWNPOUR OCCURRED. I DIDNT MOVE
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SPECIAL GUESTS THEY BRING ON EACH MEMBER CRUISE. YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IS THE LINE UP UNTIL YOU ARE ON THE SHIP. TALKING TO THE SPECIAL GUESTS POOLSIDE ETC. LAST YEAR WE SAT ON THE TOP DECK FOR THE FIRST SHOWING OF THE NEW SNOW WHITE. I GUESS TERRIE IM SAYING ITS HARD TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, EVERY CRUISE IS DIFFERENT.

 

[calypso726]

OH WOW!!!! Great picture Ian! Yeah, I must say my curiosity is piqued regarding who they will bring on board. Johnny Depp dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow will do nicely Hey it happened at the D23 Expo, a girl can dream

Marsha, you hit the nail on the head! Yo Ho Yo Ho and where's me bottle of rum Did you know that there is an International Talk Like A Pirate Day that falls on September 19th? It's wonderful excuse to use words like "scallywag" and be silly for a day

Good Morning all!!! I am sitting here trying to decide what do today. I am supposed to work- out of county today about a 30 minute drive. Our schools are closed again for snow!!! I hate to leave my coworker on her own - she lives much closer to today's site - she says the roads are slick and covered. So I am waiting AGH!!!

Yesterday I had both DDs to the doctor - DD2 has infections in both ears - boy does that suck she SCREAMED all night Wed night. And DD5 has asthma that is flaring up and I had to keep her home from school yesterday!!!

SPRING! SPRING! SPRING! SPRING! SPRING!

If I try harder maybe it will be warm longer than 3 days!!!!

So glad we are under 200 days!!! I want to go NOW!!!!

 

[dvc deernut]

FRIENDS OF MINE WE AT WDW IN OCT. WHEN THEY WERE AT THE PIRATES ATTRACTION THE CAPT JACK SPARROW OUTSIDE THAT DAY WAS JOHNNY DEPP, THEY MET HIM. THEY WERE TOLD THAT 5 DAYS A YEAR IN HIS CONTRACT WITH DISNEY HE SHOWS UP TO DO THAT. BUT THEY KEEP THOSE DAYS A SECRET. IM JUST PASSING ON WHAT THEY TOLD ME. SO IF THE CAPT JACK AT MK SEEMS EXTREMELY GOOD MAYBE ITS JOHNNY DEPP.
TERRIE YOU CAN GET AN ANNUAL PASS AND VISIT MK EVERYDAY

 

[BigDogHU75]

I am so looking forward to the cruise. I am looking forward to seeing who the guests will be. We were not too interested in last year's guests but that was ok. There was a lot of other things to do on the cruise. Say it with me - BINGO!

Since we did not do the pirate deck party, I am looking forward to that and seeing the fireworks at sea.

And, I cannot neglect Castaway Cay. We spent a lot of time out there. DS loves the water. He also liked riding the tram to get to the beach.

Seeing Castaway Cay in the distance just made our excitemnet grow.

The first day the water was a bit rough but we still enjoyed sitting in the chairs in the water.

The second day was much calmer.

And, I cannot forget the food & Palo brunch. Delish. I definitely want to do Palo brunch again.

Needless to say, I really liked meeting the people I had been chatting with on the DIS. I am looking forward to meeting all of you.

But, my favorite was just spending time with my family.

I also forgot to mention in my previous post that I am looking forward to seeing what the gifts will be.

I did not know there was an International Talk Like a Pirate Day. You will really like pirate night. I cannot wait to see how you will dress up for it.

Good Morning all!!! I am sitting here trying to decide what do today. I am supposed to work- out of county today about a 30 minute drive. Our schools are closed again for snow!!!

I hope your DDs feel better soon.

 

[mousefan64]

Well I must say

I just love these posts

Keep them coming

 

[Luckymomoftwo]

I'm looking forward to....ALL OF IT!! Being back on the most beautiful ship that exists, being in a warm climate, celebrating my 40th b-day ON the cruise, getting the DVC/DCL free gifts, meeting new friends, giving up the responsibilities of parenthood for a few days, not having a care in the world, watching POTC under the starry sky in the middle of the ocean, eating at Palo, walking through the Mickey ears. I could go on and on and on...because there isn't really "one" thing I'm looking forward to, it's the WHOLE experience I'm looking forward to!
