Morning Wally!

 

[annearchi]

We're leaving southern IN Friday and will probably stay overnight on the way. So if you see a really full (4 adults + 2 kids) black Lincoln Navigator with Indiana plates broke down on the side of the road, be sure to give a friendly wave.

We have a 5th-6th grade football game to go to on Saturday morning or we would be leaving Friday. We probably won't be leaving til about noon. ugh!

Thanks Dan. We have been on other cruises but not a Disney cruise. Since this is a special cruise, then we will probably be spoiled on this member cruise and nothing will ever compare. I've already been told that Disney cruises are the best. We used to go on Norweigen then started going on Princess. I'm getting excited and so are the kids. Every day my 7 yo asks "how many days mom?"

Good Morning to all of my cruisin' friends! It's a really rainy Tuesday here in NJ.

 

[annearchi]

All of the welcoming is appreciated.
regardless.
I am excited to meet other Disney folds, DVC members at that.

Hi Ashley!!!!




Never! And never to that one too.

I thought you gave a lovely welcome!

Well it's not like it's a cruise thread or anything (where's that blasted sarcasm font when you need it)

I believe nautical discussions are permitted in moderate doses dispersed intermittently between smileys, random thoughts and general good will towards each other.

We do have 2 DD's (10 & 12). Pirate night, do we eat in the dining room before the party? 1st Disney cruise, so mot familiar with event timeline.

I would because then the pirate night is kind of a little show, with characters galore and then fireworks and then the eating, if it goes the way it has in the past.

 

[W@LL-E]

good morning everyone,
hope everyone had a great extended weekend and 1 day closer to the DREAM

 

[annearchi]

Ok....well, personally John and I are using Weight Watchers, but whatever floats your boat I guess! LOLOL

Well, it just so happens I am a WW leader. Maybe we need a meeting to support each other (self included) as to what we should and shouldn't eat. I always tell my members, "if you see me in public at a restaurant, keep your eyes on your plate and I'll keep them on mine." But, honestly, I won't be keeping track of points, just basics and try to get in fruits before my favorites.

lilliansmommy-- try the Virginia Beach store in lynnhaven mall. Kat called me yesterday to say they had some in. maybe they still do.

LYNNHAVEN MALL WE HAVE BEEN THERE A COUPLE TIMES. ONE TIME I PARKED THE CAR AT ONE END, THE LARGE DEPT STORE HAD MORE THAN ONE DOOR. I HAD TO GO BACK TO GET SOMETHING I WALKED OUT THE WRONG DOOR<, DIDNT REALIZE IT, THOUGHT THE VAN WENT MISSING I SEARCH THE WHOLE PARKING LOT, EXCEPT FOR WHERE IT WAS PARKED. I PANICED, TOLD LAURA IT WAS GONE. SO SHE WENT OUT THE RIGHT DOOR, THERE IT WAS DID I FEEL STUPID. DO THEY STILL HAVE PARASAILING AT VIRGINIA BEACH? I LOVE PARASAILING!!

everyone knows that there are NO calories on any disney property, including the cruiseships & Castaway Cay

Good morning my fellow DISpeeps!

I just returned from the Dr. and he seems happy with how the surgery went. I have some minor restrictions as expected, but I am clear to cruise with no worries!!! <=== BTW, that is one of my restrictions... LOL

I will meet with the Physical Therapist this afternoon to make plans for my rehab. The doctor said they would be able to give me some stuff to do while I am on the trip so that should be fun.

I got a bunch of magnets done yesterday and will try to get the gift tags done this afternoon/evening. Tomorrow after work I will need to get everything together that is going on the trip. Because of the quantity of what I am bringing vs. a weak and healing knee, I will be shipping down a box and that will be given to UPS on Thurs. Wow, it is amazing how this has suddenly become "real" instead of planning. I can't believe how soon I will go from dreaming to Dream-ing <=== Not a restriction so:

 

[lilliansmommy]

are they out on disneystore.com?

Ariel is completely sold out on Disneystore.com.

Congrats on the good knee news!!!! Keep up the healing and get that physical therapy started. The first couple of weeks are the hardest. Good luck with all your tags and ACEs!! See you soon.

Hey Kelly!

How is life today? I honestly doubt I will get to either of the Disney Stores near me, but if I do, it will be to see if they have Ariel. I will let you know if I find her anyplace.

See you real soon- A-N-D-Y (sorry, I do not have another letter in there)

We're back in Indy. Got to do some catchin' up here.

Hi Andy, Kelly, Anne, and anyone else on here right now.

 

[Hoosier John]

John - I didn't know there were that many people doing the room tour! Your idea sounds good.

John I'm looking forward to the tour. I was wondering if we have that many people if we should do the prizes in a lounge or bar area so we can accommodate everyone? Whatever works I just can't imagine the room being big enough

Hey Lynn - did John scare you when he said 32 people.

A little

We may lose a few, but I wouldn't be surprised if we pick up more than we lose. Probably not everyone will play poker. It sounds like we have a plan. We will do the Room Tour as I described, but add that we will also pick out a public location to gather after the tour. We will determine the winners there.

To anyone new here, you are more than welcome to join us. Last year we were excited to see the new ship, and devised the Room Tour as a way to look over accomodations. Personally, I really wanted to see the virtual porthole in action, since we rarely book an outside cabin.

PS We are really heavy on Category 5 rooms. If there is anyone with a category not already on the list who wouldn't mind several dozen of us trampeling through, please let me know.

I am sure that in the last 12 threads there has already been a sharing of viewpoints , but I do have a cruise question:

Are you planning on a meal in Remy? ​

Ahem. I have a reservation and there is only one of me, so . . . if there is a "single" (reminder of ski lift lines ) I would be happy to share.
