[Bareacuda]

Well... Happy Birthday to your DD !!

 

[lg3]

Thanks so much Bareacuda - everything went great - a truly magical party if I do say so myself. She dressed up in her Snow White costume and had a fantastic time. I didn't know there even was so many Disney Princess items, and I thought I had seen them all.

A bit early...

We are now ONE day closer to the cruise!
And bumping us up a page... I hope!

We booked this cruise last fall. It will be our first cruise ever, so getting a lot of great information from the boards (as usual). We're previous DVC owners and have been to WDW 7 times in the last 9 years. Our group consists of myself, DH, DS (9), DS (8), MIL and FIL. I'm an overplanner, so have become an addict to these boards. Looking forward to seeing you all this fall!

Well, as you can see, I check in here alot! I am active on a few other threads, and one is busy I forget to check the others. We are cruising with you, and don't live that far! I just moved from Woodridge, to Willow Springs! It will be myself, DBF, DD(11), DD(8), DD(3), and FIL, and GMIL. We have cruised once before on the DVC member cruise in 2006. We fell in love, and know we can think of nothing better to do with our points than cruise at least once a year! You say previous DVC members did you sell your points? Can't wait to meet you in the fall!

We are cruising with all of you! I haven't had time to read through all the posts yet, but I'll work on that. This is our first Eastern, we've done 2 3 night Wonder cruises, a 7 night Western, and a 7 night Double Dip.

It's myself, DH, and DD who will be 9 at the time. My DD would love to get to know some other girls her age so she can have friends. We've done this in the past, and it made for a great time.

Hi! We are cruising with you also, Myself, DBF, DD(11) DD(8), DD(3), FIL, and GMIL! My girls have met other kids in the past from the DIS, and would love to meet some more! Its always been a great time!

I have some sad news. Janet and I have transferred our Ressies to the 5 day in September of 08. My sister is traving with us on the 9/8/07 Western Cruise and has never traveled on her own. I was concerned about turning her lose after the cruise so we decided to change our plans. This girl who hates to fly is going to fly and go to the airport with my sister to assure she and her girls get home. I would just panic the whole cruise not knowing if she got home. Yes, I am just a little Co-dependent. But she is my sister and has already been through so much with the lose of the love of her life. I have her friends who can make sure she gets to WDW and I will do my best to assure she gets home in one piece.

I know that our paths will cross at some point in the future. Is anyone interested in spearheading that lunch on Thursday to celebrate our whatevers. I have a data base I can forward if anyone wants to do that. I wasn't planning a big deal just getting together for lunch and seeing if we could have cake for dessert and maybe annoucing who was celebrating what. We were planning on announcing the Secret Mickey's at the same time. Any Taker's??

Have an awesome cruise and I'll see each of you around. Lois

Sorry to hear that you are not joining us! Have a great time with your sister! I dont know if anyone has offered to help you out, But I am willing to see if I could get the lunch together! Let me know!

Hi Tina!

Would your DD's be interested in having an email buddy before the cruise? We did that on 2 of the 4 cruises, and it was a great success. My DD is an only child, so we are always trying to set her up with pals, and the DIS is a great way to do that.

That would be great! We did this last time, and the girls knew one girl pretty well before we cruised! My girls dont have there own email address, but you can send it to mine, and they will read it, and respond. I am very leary about letting them have an email address. Call me crazy I guess! My email is tinkerbelle77@comcast.net. Girls names are Krystina(11) and Haylee(8). They will be excited! Cant wait until September!

Looks like we have some more chatter on this thread
Getting a day closer all the time.
Great day here in the desert... about 85

BTW.... our DD and DSIL will be joining us on THIS part of our cruise. They had to change a couple of times because of the dates. I sure hope it's set in stone now

 

[nikkistevej]

Anybody have a 4yo or close to 5yo that will be going to the 3-4 yo kids club? My DD is an only child and would love a buddy.

Hey Bareacuda, whats a triple play cruise? Don't tell me you are doing 3 back to back (to back)! If you are, I'm so jealous!

 

[Bareacuda]

YUP... a triple play is a back to back to back !
We had to cancell our Med cruise because of a art show!
So we dumpped all the paid off cruise for 3 weeks. 14 days on the first 11 day med cruise is more then the 3 weeks. Plus we had $$$ for excurtions for this one!
And you all can see me when you come on the ship... I'll be the one

That is just crazy! In a good way! We rebooked when we were onboard last Sept, and couldn't decide if we wanted to do the Western or the Eastern, so we put down deposits on both! We even thought for a little while about doing both cruises, but I really didn't want to pull DD out of school that much. Plus, I'd rather do one week, and then talk DH into doing a 3 or 4 night Wonder cruise in the spring of 2008! Also, we are really psyched about doing the Eastern this time. DH and I spent our honeymoon on St. Thomas 17 years ago, and we also spent a week in St. Martin once, and DD has never been to either one!

 

[JNorris]

OK, I'm on cruise overload today...we just also booked the 5 night Bahamas cruise for Sept 1, 2008. Yay me!!

Our dd will be 4-1/2 in Sept. An only child too - I'm sure she would love a buddy.

Hi Everyone

Sorry I have been MIA from this thread. I have discovered DigitalScrapbooking and it has become an addiction for me. I just finished our September Disney trip and am just starting on our last Disney Cruise. We also just booked our next trip to Disney in January 2008. DH feels a bit guilty about going on a cruise without the kids so it was easy to get him to agree to another trip to Disney for them...

Anyway, I am going to try to catch up with all I have missed in this thread but I am sure it is a ton. I am still keeping the cruise roster so if I have missed anyone who has joined in this tread since I went MIA, feel free to PM me and I will add you to the roster (there is a link in my siggie to get to the cruise roster)

DD will be almost 4 at cruise time, and she will be in the 3-4 room.
