Hello My Fellow Double Dip Cruisers!

Long time no see, huh? I have been away from the cruise board for a while as I was busy with the WISH board and the group there doing the half and/or full marathons a couple of weeks ago. I did the half and it was a FANTASTIC experience and I am now planning to do the Minnie 15k in May and the full marathon in January 07! Anyone who might be interested should check in with the Events sub-board on the WISH board for great information and support.

So, I read back through several months worth of posts. I am so sorry to see that our official list-keeper Darcy has had to bow out of our cruise Guess we'll need to find someone else to maintain our list.

I am still willing to have dh maintain a photo album of us all but so far onlly have a picture from Amanda (I had one of Darcy's family too but no need for that now unfortunately). So, if you'd like to send me your pic just send me a PM and I'll give you info on how to email me.

It is good to see our group getting bigger and staying in touch. It should only get better as we get closer!

WooHoo - TOP on my first post back!!

I'm going to hate to do it but DW and I will have to bow out of this thread. We just rescheduled our cruise to the double dip on Nov 11.
Nothing against you fine folks. It's just that the the 4 nighter in Sept 05 kinda made our decision.

I actually wish I could go on both dates but work wouldn't allow us to take that much time off.

We will miss you! Hope your cruise goes well also.

LOL That's too funny! I was thinking the same thing! Actually don't we have less than 8 months?

Oh my Gosh, you are right. Now I'm really excited! It's even closer than I thought! We have a trip to DL planned for June also. We are looking forward to that, but for some reason we just haven't been as excited about it as we are this cruise.

Hey Rhonda,

Congrats on your 1/2 marathon. We met Cam & Howard on our first Disney cruise. This is a small world. I would love to send you a picture. How do I do a pm?

I know what you mean. We are doing a 7 day to Alaska for my inlaws 40th anniversary and I am not into it at all. I mean yes, it will be a great time, but it won't be the Magic!

This will be our first time on the Magic, but I just know from reading the posts on this board that i'ts going to be great. My daughter and I love to look at the pictures people post.

Joanne,

I'll PM you my email address and you can email your picture to me that way. If you have any problems, let me know!

We actually met Howard and Cam on our first Disney cruise as well back in 5/01. How funny that you would have met them the same way! Cam and I had the best time doing the 1/2 together and we are really looking forward to doing the Minnie 15K and full together as well. She and Howard are just the best

This will be our first time on the MAgic as well. We have been on the Wonder twice and our second time is where we meet Amanda. We had never talked on the boards, but when we sat down at our table for the first dinner she and her DH were our table mates. We had such a great time together for the rest of the cruise we just had to cruise together again. I can't wait!!!

 

[ericamanda01]

Goofy server posted me twice!

Akasleepingbeauty, I am going to send you a PM as well.

 

[akasleepingbeauty]

Amanda01 - got your PM and hopefully you got mine as well.

I now have 2 pictures plus ours to post so that is a good start. Anyone else who wants to add to our photo gallery please let me know and I'll send you my email address.

Have a great day everyone!

Have a good day.

I believe that Asksleepingbeauty is putting together a list with pictures.

Hey everyone! It's getting closer now isn't it? My husband and I have been getting the kids all hyped up about the cruise. And believe it or not, they have even been looking at some of the navigators online to see if there are things that they would like to do. If anyone wants to get our kids talking online, PM me with your email address and I'll give you mine. It's another beautiful day in Orlando today. Unfortunately, I am stuck here in my office all day. We plan to ride Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom this weekend, probably Sunday. Annual Passholders get to sample the ride first. I think it is officially opening in April.

 

[Sandra & Mark]

thanks I'll check back in a week if I can find this thread again

Hi guys! I am back from our Wonderful cruise! it was much needed and it was great! The water temps were a bit chilly for my taste, but once you got in for a bit it was okay. My MIL had a great time, and she said even after hearing Steve and I brag on DCL that nothing we said or described could even come close to the actual experience! I will have to work on pictures. we got back late Thurs and I had to work Fri and Sat..so today has been my first down day and I have been lazy! LOL We were abel to ride Exoedition Everest 2 times on Thurs and it was really neat! Any questions feel free to ask. I did discover I do prefer sailing in Sept to sailing in January.....I would rather know that the water temps are great for swimming in Sept than not know in Jan.

Hello My Fellow Double Dip Cruisers!

Rhonda!
Welcome back! I have made a vow to myself to try and become more active in this thread and get to know you all some more! I didn't do that so much for this past cruise and to hear my fellow cruisers talk, they had a blast together!

 

[dzneprincess]

I'm going to hate to do it but DW and I will have to bow out of this thread. We just rescheduled our cruise to the double dip on Nov 11.
Nothing against you fine folks. It's just that the the 4 nighter in Sept 05 kinda made our decision.

I actually wish I could go on both dates but work wouldn't allow us to take that much time off.

Aw man...we sure seem to be losing lots of folks...do I stink or something???



















DONT ANSWER THAT!!

 

[dzneprincess]

We're definitely going around 1/15. We're waiting for flight information now.
Woo hoo.

I'm going to try and keep a blog of the trip with photos and updates. Can't promise it'll be any good. Here's the address...
