[gssmks]

Hello Guys! I'm heading over to some friends' house for a cook out. Labor Day is a tradition with all of us. It's the last big cookout of the summer. I hope all of you have a great day!

Hello all..........and Happy Monday off!!

We are anxiously awaiting our pending cruise in about 10 days and look forward to getting our rebooking credit on board!!

We go back and forth over taking this cruise, but we will get the best deal we can and make a decision later in the spring! It is really not looked upon very nicely at work for me. I have gone back to school to get my masters so I might have to quit next year anyway. Time will tell.

If those nasty hurricanes can just stay away now...I think we have had our fill.

Talk to you all later,

Missy

Greetings fellow cruisers. Well I can't say how sorry I am to have been away so long. I am sure you all missed me beyond belief! I can't believe that we are getting closer to the "less than 12 months" point. I am so excited already. I still can't believe how fast this first year went by. I hope this finds everyone well.

Amanda how was the trip to WDW? We are gonna need pictures!

 

[kris1973]

My husband and I and our two girls will hopefully be on this cruise. We booked originally than MONEY became an issue and we cancelled and now looks like everything is gonna be ok so we are trying to plan it again. LOL gotta love bills. Does anyone have any girls around the ages of 8 and 10. That is how old mine will be on the cruise.

Hello kris1973!

I am so glad to see you on the thread. I have a daughter who will be 8 at the time we sail. Her birthday is in November, so she will almost be 9. I started posting here looking for someone with a daughter in her age group. She wants to participate in many of the activities in the Oceaneer's Lab, but she's afraid that everyone will already have friends and she will feel left out. This is our first cruise. We're both so excited.

 

[gssmks]

Kristin,

Hello again, I did receive your private message and I have attempted to respond. Just as this will be my first cruise ever, this is the first time I have ever participated in a discussion forum like this. I'm not sure that I did it right. If you did not receive my response, please let me know. I do not know how to send private messages to you guys. Can you fill me in?

 

[kris1973]

We have all been there.

In the yellow box on the left is someones screen name...click on the name and it gives you many choices....click send so and so a private message and you go from there.

Kristin

And yes I got your pm

 

[ericamanda01]

Welcome to the cruise forum! This is a great place to come. I have so many friends from my previous cruise forum that I am still in contact with almost a year later. As a matter of fact one of my "Wonder"ful friends is dzneprincess, she and I will be attached at the hip on the cruise!

Just checking in to say a big Hello to my fellow cruising friends

Amanda01 - we have missed you and we are always glad to have you here.

Amanda - hope you had a great trip. Come share some of the details with us.

Hi Darcy - hope you and the family are doing well.

Welcome Kristin - we are glad you and gssmks have joined our group!

DD5 is sick today so we are staying at home and hoping she'll be better for the weekend. It is still so hot here (95 for today and into the foreseeable future) so it is best to stay inside anyway.

Hope everyone is doing well and I'll check in again when I have a minute!

 

[dzneprincess]

Hope everything goes smoothly for you Amanda. I will keep you in our prayers for a safe jouney. HAVE FUN!!

Tricia

Thank you Tricia! It went great we had a blast! It was just what we needed in these tough times!

Well color me shocked! hehe ! I cant believe you remembered this poor ole thread! Stay on it! The trip was great, it was definitley different than other trips, as I took all 4 kids by myself! Ages 10,9,6 and 2..........Not to say we did not have some moments but the great ones way outnumbered the difficult moments! zI do have pics to share but I need to upload them some where... I like using photobucket for one or 2 pics, but it is a pain when you have a bunch...is there an easier site to use?

Welcome Back Amanda

So happy you made it there and back safely. I was concerned about you and I am relieved to see you posting here. I can't quite imagine doing the trip with 4 kids alone - you deserve another vacation ALONE for that (oh well guess that "sans kids" cruise will have to do )

Since you asked, I would really appreciate it if you could try to get us 2 DCL coloring books. I would love to have them for the kids in advance and I hate to pay ebay prices for them. Of course I will be happy to pay for them and postage as well. If it is too much trouble then don't worry about it though - I want you to enjoy your cruise!

Hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend!

 

[ericamanda01]

4 kids alone in WDW, I think that qualifies you for sainthood. Or the insane asylum.

 

[skoi]

Wow, there are a lot more pages since the last time my lazy self has been here on the thread. I'm glad everyone is doing okay.

Where do we send the cabin numbers? Our dd will be 12 by cruise time and would love to email/message with other girls around her age. Our ds will be 8 and he doesn't like to email, but he might if there are any other kids around that age who would be interested.

For those of you who remember-- our adoption is moving along, and we're about 90% sure we'll have our little girl with us for the cruise.

The coloring books...not a problem! Just please remind me later on in the week. We are leaving on Fri and I will probably check the boards one last time on THurs....
I think the only thing that got me thru the tough moments with the kids, was knowing that we had the sans kids cruise coming up right behind it, and an all moms only trip in October! Trust me, it helped! LOL

Meet you there??

 

[dzneprincess]

Skoi, that is wonderful news about the adoption! And we are not picky on this thread! We will take when you can stop by! We would just love to see you stop by more! Woohoo! I cant believe I only have 5 more days until I leave for DCL!!

 

[gssmks]

Amanda, I will probably not have a chance to sign on again before you leave (busy week coming up), so I wanted to wish you a wonderful trip. I hope everything goes very well and you so much FUN!!!!!!!! I'm jealous. I still have over a year before I get to set sail on my first Disney Cruise.
