09/15/07 Early Check in September 15, 2007 Eastern

Geez Kam! You are up really early this morning. This is me: If I was as pregnant as you are I'd be sleeping...then again, you do get to that point where sleeping is uncomfortable...and you have to get up to pee 15 times a night...I can't believe I actually want to go through that again, and more than once. I must be insane.

Only about a million months to go until the cruise. Well, that's what it feels like anyway. Hope everyone has a great day.

Thanks for the compliments! Yeah, strapless dresses make me look like the prow of a ship. There ought to be a foghorn to clear the way for my chest. Oy.

Back to cruising...I'm going to try to get my sister (what the code for sister?) to join the DIS boards. I still can't believe she's actually going. This is going to be so awesome!

I distinguish between my sons by writing DS#1 and DS#2. Many people use DS for Sister. It is in the abbreviation list for Son, but there is nothing on the abbreviation list that I can find for sister. Did I miss it?

Maybe we can start a new one--DSis--???

Oooh! I vote for DSis!

Yeah, I was up so early! Ryan got up early today....man that kid is wearing me out! LOL! Remind me next time to not have kids 15mths apart! (oh, wait....there won't be a NEXT time! LOL!!!)

Everyone is so quiet today.....hello?? hello?? where is everyone??
I am so eager for this cruise, and I honestly think time will fly by...once we through the holidays (and my new arrival ) we can start ironing out stuff....I know, we will still have 8-9 mths, but I love to plan!

I think that DSis would work. It is pretty self explanitory....

Gosh, it seems like so many of you are traveling with friends & extended family and know each other... That must be so nice. So I am trying to keep everything straight.... Kamgen & Mamaraven are friends. Kamgen is expecting her second son soon and is renewing vows on our cruise and Mamaraven is getting married before the cruise (is there a date for the wedding?) Do I have it right???

Good evening everyone!

Lisa, I think you have it right. Kamy has been around since the begining of the thread so I can keep her straight. Good job. She and Megan have alot of friends and family celebrating with them. That's where I get lost.

Megan and Patrick, is there a date for the wedding? I want to know too. Inquiring minds and all.

 

[Lisa0503]

Well, I am not computer savy enough to put together a website or anything but I did come up with a list of everyone who has posted so far. I don't mind keeping track. I could add IRL names, spouses, childrens names/ages, cabin numbers ect... if people wanted it that is...

Someone posted earlier that we should post our pictures so everyone knows what we look like. I just posted this picture on the DVC board so I may as well post it here. We will probably have to repost right before the cruise to remind people. Hope our picture doesn't scare anyone off.

I like the idea of IRL names and other details being recorded in one place. That may help me keep people straight. It is confusing at times when some use screen names and others refer to the same people with their IRL names. However, I am sure by the end of the cruise I will have most everyone's screen name connected to the other names and titles they may use. I understand that there are those, with good reason, who may not want that infomation recorded on line. Mouser

If I knew how to post a picture I would. It can't be too difficult. Maybe if I can catch my adult son he can help. It is really nice to have a face to put with the name. Thanks for the picture. Can't wait till September!!!!!!!!! Mouser

 

[Mommaraven]

Morning all! Tigger has it right, Kamy and I are friends through our men. They've been friends since God knows when and introduced us. We quickly discovered we have that kindred spirit Mom thing going on. I wish she didn't live so far away.

Patrick and I can't set an official date until we have our first joint meeting with the priest (should be in the next few weeks), but we would like to do it in May, and especially on May 19. One way or another we should be married before the cruise! Yay!

I can't wait to learn more about ya'll!

 

[Lisa0503]

Hixski - Thanks for sharing the picture!!! Now that we all know what you look like, it will help us stalk you on the cruise I will have to figure out how to post a pic so you can run when you see us comming...

Mammaraven - Good luck with meeting with the preist and getting the wedding date you want. I hope you keep us up to date in your planning. I love weddings and wish I could do it again!!!! There really is nothing like being a bride. My wedding day was the best day of my life other than the birth of my children.

If noone objects, I will start to work on getting all this info together. I was thinking of IRL names, traveling companions names, deck/room info. Of course noone has to give any of this info if they don't want to share...I will get what I can from re-reading all the previous posts.

 

[kamgen]

Good morning everyone!!!
Wow, you all have been busy!! Well, I am trying to get my mom and DH to post, so hopefully they will be online and have their own screen names!
Right now our group in our stateroom is me, DH (Stephen), my mom (Vera aka Grammy), and our two sons, Ryan (who will be 2) and ??? (due in December, so he will be about 9mths or so)
We also have Patrick and Megan (of course) and Stephen's parents (John and Norma) joining us for our special occasion! Might be more, so stay tuned! LOL!!!

I'll chime in:
1) Lois AKA Grandma4ever /Mouser Deck 2 Rm 2060 I will be 52 years old at the time of the cruise
2) Janet No AKA Deck 2 Rm 2060 She will be 42 at the time of this cruise.

We are not bringing the grandkids this trip. (They are not happy.) So it will just be us girls. Mouser/Lois

 

[Windy City Heather]

Windy City Heather - Heather, Chuck and dd Kendyll (5 at cruise time).

My sister will also be traveling with us. She is not on the forum yet but I am guessing her screen name will be mmtm89. Tom and Meri

We have connecting rooms 2122 & 2124. Not sure who my travel agent put in each of the rooms.

It might also be nice to know who has cruised before and have you been on a disney cruise. We have been on a handfull of cruise but this is our first Disney cruise.

Also, I don't know how to post pictures or I would be more than willing. I will learn before the cruise and get a picture of us up here.

 

[Lisa0503]

I have got an Excell spreadsheet going but I need to figure out how to post it here. When I try to copy & paste, all the columns run together If anyone has any ideas, let me know or I can e-mail you the spreadsheet and see if you have better luck posting it.... I will work on figuring something out. I will have to check some of the other threads and see how they kept track of everyone....

It might also be nice to know who has cruised before and have you been on a disney cruise. We have been on a handfull of cruise but this is our first Disney cruise.

In my spreadsheet I included a column for any special ocassions and have noted anyone whom is cruising Disney for the first time.... (I don't think anyone is cruising for the first time) So far you and kimgregg are cruising DCL for the first time...

 

[kimgregg]

Yes, this will be our first Disney cruise. Our group consist of Me (Kim), DH (Dave), DD (Hailey) 6 but 2 weeks shy of turning 7, and DS (Wyatt) who will be 2. We are on deck 2. My MIL & FIL will be traveling with us but they will not be posting here. We are tyring to get connecting rooms but none are available right now. My MIL is a travel agent so she is going to keep checking.

I would also like to post a picture but haven't been able to figure it out!

 

[Mommaraven]

Rm 7010 - We've got me, Patrick, and possibly DS4 (Joey)...but we haven't made a final decision on that yet.

Rm 7016 - My DSis (Lauren) and her DBF (Nick)
