[kamgen]

Hello. Just checking in before I get to bed. Seems like not much time for checking out the DIS with work, life and two little guys running me ragged! LOL! For those of you who asked, we just moved to FL in Feb and are renting a house in Clermont. Takes us about 20-30 to get to WDW so no complaints here!!! Much better than the 19 hr drive we had before
Havent gotten a cruise packet here yet....so when can we prebook stuff????
And has anyone noticed the website hasnt been updated??/ Hope they announce the theme and activities soon!!!
Bye for now!

Good morning everyone!

AMANDA! (or is it Mary from university of NC? tee hee)

I'm so glad you found the board. This is Karen--the one you spoke with at World of Disney!
I'm not going on the Member Cruise (much to WDWLVR's dismay) but I thought I'd check in here after Mary gave me the heads up that you posted!
You can't ask for a more fun, energetic group of people to cruise with!!! Happy sailing!

So true!

Are we still on for Cape May before the cruise?

Yes!

Isn't it about time the Member cruise website is updated? It is still talking about cold weather!

YES!

What on board activities is everyone looking forward to? I want to try the alone time.

We are looking at doing the Cabana Couples Massage this time.

Are we doing the fish extenders this year? It was fun last year. I remember somone saying that we had until Aug 1 to be on the list. Is that right?

Yes Robin is coordinating the fish extender/tag for the cruise.

I couldn't help myself. Amanda (sister not new cruiser) cannot have more pirates then me!

Congrats on the

The last cruise we spent in the Spa....we plan or doing it again...love the steam room, sauna and warm loungers.
Hope to finally get in the adult pool when we're in Nassau.

Just thought I would jump in and say Hi. Been working outside all day re seeding my lawn where the Grubs got to it this past winter. Most of our neighbors got hit with them. Next month we will hit the lawn with Scott's Grub X and hopefully that will kill them.
Its been a beautiful day inthe mid 70's.
Got the word from my boss I start my two month job next monday. They had to do some work on the Fishway before it could open and the river has been high thats been the hold up.
Doesn't seem possible how time is flying in four months we will be cruising .
Hope every body has a great weekend. Mary and Mark now you guys can catch up on the house work that didn't get done last week .
Joan have a walk on the beach for Nancy and me. Nanc has forgotten about calling you . Say hi to Rog

Marcel may be confused because that travel book probably mentions Nassau.

 

[Eeyores#1Fan]

We got our planner. And so did my sister. Her's came 3 days before mine and we live in the same city. And my last name comes before hers. No biggie....any news from Disney or the Cruise Line works for me!

 

[TnRobin]

Hi guys, sorry to be AWOL this week, but the newspapers are pulling our internet usage so we have been told to no surf even at lunch. I have been going through withdrawl.

Glad to see you made it home safe Mary. I will try to catch up and see how your trip went.

 

[JOANNEL]

Hi guys, not much going on here.

Robin- I would be in withdrawls also. I don't spend much time on there, but I do look a few times a day.

Dan- have fun with that yard work. It's nice to know winter is all over!!!! Have a nice week end.

I don't get to surf from work either. It does cut down on the time I would want to be here. I still try to scan at least once a day, but it sure does make it difficult to get pirates.

Mack and I are looking forward to the fish extenders. We have already been talking about what we will get. We will probably start buying before August, so I hope we buy in proper quantities. The whole idea of surprising fellow members of the group with a little something from home is just up our alley!

Good morning everyone - happy Friday!

Getting back in the swing of things. Mark wasn't feel too good yesterday so stayed home. He did finally finish up our online scrapbook for the 2007 cruise. Click here if you would like to see it. Click here if you want to see a scan of the group picture broken into 4 chunks so you can zoom in and find yourself. We're in frame #2.

 

[danandnan]

Good morning everybody.
Mary that is a great scrap book you and Mark put together. In fact I saved our group picture at Castaway as a background picture.
Robin great to see you back.
Today is going to be a lazy day did to much yesterday. If it doesn't rain later Nanc and I will be going to our Granddaughter's first T-Ball game it should be fun. Tomorrow we head to MASS for my friends surprise 70th birthday party.
Everybody have a great Friday.

I haven't posted personally in a while. We got our cruise packet last week. The weather here has been very spring-like lately, rain,sun, rain,sun, etc. in half-our intervals. At least it seems that way. We're planning on doing the fish extender, so add us to the list, please!
We're going to my (Gary) folks place this week-end to celebrate Mother's Day.

That's about it for now. It's been a hectic week at work and I'm looking forward to the week-end!

TGIF!!!

 

[JOANNEL]

Thanks for the pictures mary. I found us with Dan & nancy way in the back. It was nice to see blown up since I could not find us in the real picture. We were very last minute cause I hate giving up my beach time.

have a great friday all. Four months seems so far away but summers so so fast at my house.
