captaincrash- thanks for the sun! We did manage to get more snow this morning.....my feet are like little blocks of ice!
!

Well...

... I'm sorry I was unable to actually get you warmer temperatures... but if it is any consolation... there are times of the year here in Califonria when it is so hot we are litterially walking through a microwave oven - and could really use the cool weather! SO - nothing is perfect - and tonight it's dropping in temperature a bit with tomorrow shaping up into a cooler weekend.

Welcome to all the new members to this cruise. Hope all is well with everyone.

I am super excited to use hotwire...but super nervous too..now I hear about the free dining I have to wonder if that I shouldn't book there. I am going to Edmonton in the spring and I think I am going to try hotwire out..

Using hot wire for what?
Free dining?

Grrr Disney reservation site.. I can't even get into it...
it's like a ships wheel in my pants... driving me nuts.... (that is more appropriate when a boy says it)

ship's wheel ???
why appropriate for a boy to say?

I may be showing my age or my region of upbringing but I have no clue here. Please fill me in.

Sorry Jan!! I was just muttering on about nothing in particular.

Hotwire- we are in Florida for four days and I was going to use hotwire and hopefully find something really really cheap until the cruise. But then I heard about the free dining and the value hotels (fingers crossed....so really how do I pass that up?) So I am in the panic zone. Pop Centure...how does one get to the ship?

Ships wheel in my pants.... My boyfriend always says "It's like a ships wheel in my pants" *said with the best sailor accent you can then say "Its driving me nuts" It would be better for a boy to say because well...some girls don't have those parts...

Thanks for the welcome everyone!!

My sister is staying at Pop Century before the cruise and the Disney Transport does not stop there. So we will have a car and we are going to take her to the Swan or is it the Dolphin. It picks up at both around 11:30 to noon. You could call a cab and do the same thing. There are other Transport services that you could use as well. Anyone out there done that who can give advise on the best options? Maybe I'll change the setup for my sister as well. I hope this info helped.

 

[Bareacuda]

I am on this cruise as well! I am doing a back 2 back on both cruises. I will be hosting a party in one of my rooms and hope to see you both there!

Hiya everyone!!

My new Husband and I will be joining you on this cruise! We are traveling with Jennifer48 and her boyfriend. It is our first cruise! I am really excited (and a little bit nervous), but Jennifer48 is taking great care of us and putting all of my worries to rest! I doesn't get much better than going with your best friend, especially when she has gone before and knows what to do!!

Now . . . BRING ON SEPTEMBER!!

Sounds like you are in good hands then! And welcome to this ever growing group!
Have you looked at the shore excursions yet? As a group I think we have done all of them... so ask away.

Hello Fellow DCL DISers!!!

I just wanted to tell you that my DD and DSIL will be joining you on the cruise. DD just found out yesterday from DH. He's been planning this cruise for a while, with our help. They will be celebrating their 10th anniversary. DD will be posting soon. I'm getting together with her soon for a "cruise meeting".

Captain Crash -- Tom, good to know you'll be on this cruise. Hope you and your family are doing well.

DH & I just took dd to get a passport for her. I am thinking: Great - last big detail, now we are set. Then, I get out my own and notice that I need to get my own renewed asap! My "window" is just two months away, but we have to be all set for our final payment and to make any reservations at Palo.
I am a total planning freak, and can't believe I overlooked the expriration date of my own passport! Got to jump to it.
I am starting to really get the fever.

 

[Bareacuda]

This time is going to fly by so quickly!!! 7 months...I can almost hold my breath for that long

 

[Kimberly815]

Welcome to all the new folks. We do seem to have quite a few on this cruise. We will all have to post pictures when we get closer so we know what everyone looks like. It helps me to have a face to go with the names. I know some of us have but we will need to do it again. Again, WELCOME!!!

 

[Bareacuda]

Yup... you can bet on it.. that the time will fly by!

On my list to get done before the cruises:

Lose 5-10 lbs
Work on my tan
Read the 3 books I received for Christmas
WORK on losing the 5-10 lbs
Make all my appointments for my hair cuts and waxings and for my nails.
Build a private patio and the big patio in the front yard.
And... paddle 3 days a week...
race at Tempe Town Lake(PHX)
At least one more race in California.

Ok... I think that will keep me busy till the cruise!
I forgot... go to Disneyland for my b-day in 10 days!!!

Now.. what's going to keep you busy till the cruise???

See, now other than working on the wedding album and scrapbook (and planning the cruise with Jennifer48 of course), I don't have much planned! I better get hopping on something to occupy my time!
