09/28/2002 Cruise

[@GoofyNut]

Thank you all for your condolences .... Sorry tohear about Kathy's double funerals. Guess we just have to think of the good times.

Trip to and from Rochester was uneventful ... Thank God. About 10 or 11 families stayed at the same hotel and we had a really nice visit Saturday night. It was nice to get together and go over all of the good times past and get up to date.

Just found out my niece is expecting twins .. especially nice since she just had a miscarriage and had awful problems getting preggy. Now if I make anything, I have to do it in 2's!

Kind of surprised that you didn't make the 1000th while we were away. Guess it's cause it's so nice and hot to be inside.

Well gotta go and print-out some package parts and think about dinner.

Welcome home Cathy and Art. If you are making dinner Cathy, what are we having? Trying to talk Stacey into letting us kidnap Katie for the cruise She just grins

Have to run baby is stirring and I guess that a clean or dry diaper is on the list Mike

 

[RellingTwin]

Welcome home Cathy and Art. Exciting news about your neice! Twins are SO COOL!

Rosemary, I got your #. It is safely in my address book so I will NOT forget to take it with me.

I know everyone has been waiting for the 89 bounces....so, here they are:




89 days and counting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[papa]

Congratulations on the twins Cathy. Mary Mary Mary lady you are going to make me cross eyed Only 20 bouncies

Yee Ha!

I just showed the girls the Disney Cruise line planning video. My older one kept asking me if she would see this or that. The younger one identified all the characters. Both wanted to know if there would be bunk beds for them to sleep in. They started to argue about who gets top bunk!

They are getting excited now that they have seen the ship.

Me, I've been excited for months!

Hi everyone!

I was reading some posts tonight and a quick thought came to me. Should we figure out prior to boarding when we want to do the brunch and then assign one person to make the reservation? I know they only accommodate 14 in the private room, but maybe they could work something out if we are early. If not, we could maybe do a first come, first serve brunch and then if need be do a second one.

I'd like to hear your thoughts.

 

[GoofyDisney]

Howdy all! Yes, we are moved...we are hot...and we are happy! Bigger house! Some new furniture! Dog is happy, daughter is happy! Things are good. (And yet, I still can't find the car keys.)

And I expected ya'll to be on page 70 at least by the time they got my cable modem hooked up. Oh well. I can understand with all that is going on with all of you.

Sorry about the losses in the extended Dis family.

Have a great trip to NY. RT and Tuli tearing up the big apple. Sounds like trouble to me. hehehehehe

Everyone have a safe and happy 4th of July. God bless America!

 

[papa]

Good to hear from you Karen and glad that you guys have settled in. Oh and congratulations on the new house.

We have to watch out as there are lurkers who would like to steal our 1000th post. (Rosemary ) Speaking of Rosemary congratulations to Richie and to you and Rich or condolences which ever you would like on Richies graduation and prom.

As far as the brunch goes that is on sea days so what a dis brunch on Monday at say 10?

Have a safe and wonderful 4th of July holiday and as Dan and Scott say on their answering machine "

Have a wonderful Disney Day

Mike

 

[Tulirose]

heh heh heh. You guys are close to a grand but I'll probably be at work when it happens. Dang it! Thanks Mike for the well(?) wishes, and tomorrow he turns 18!!!

A little early, but: HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY TO ALL!!!

 

[dan and scott]

Who is lurking to take #1000 from you guys?

A good friend of mine said that each post is about CONTENT is lets make sure that we are not just trying to run the count up!

Dan

 

[papa]

Hello Uncle Dan and Uncle Scott Hope that all is well with you and pooh Nate. Sure wish that you were going with us, but I know that you both will enjoy your halloween cruise. Oh and Euro Disney shouldn't be bad with Paris thrown in.

Kathy and the girls are going to do the stingray city thing. Me I am not a big mushroom kind of guy. I think that Art and some of the rest of us are just going to swim with the little fish

Hope that you have a safe trip Mary when you go to yankee land this week. Our long island branch of the the family will take good care of you and yours. Tell Mrs Rosemary that we said hello and give them a big hug for us.

Want to wish every a safe and happy fourth of July to all and looking forward to seeing everyone soon. Take Care. Mike and Kathy

 

[Tiiiigergirl]

Just wanted to say HI before we melt. I'm not sure we will make it to September. I'm melting. I'm melting.

 

[Tulirose]

Hey Dan!! What a smart friend you have who said that each post should have CONTENT! This group seems to be very good with their content postings. They are breaking the ice and getting to know one another and there are no silly one-word (let alone one-letter) postings. They are going to have a wonderful time on this cruise and I get jealous every time I come to this thread. Why do I torture myself so?!

9/28/02'ers - Keep on posting!

(#992 btw)

 

[Beth E. (NJ)]

More exciting news!

I've been hesitant to talk up the cruise to my DH too much. The trip was my idea and I keep waiting for him to change his mind. Money has been tight and when I first suggested the cruise he kept saying that we "would see."

He has a voucher from a flight he was bumped from that we are using to help book our air. Today I told him that I thought we should fly down a day early and spend the night before in a hotel so we would know we are there. I was quite pleased when he said ok!

Now I have to find out what hotel to stay in that night.

Question: how do you do transport from the airport to the hotel and then from the hotel to the port?

I have to print out my "who's who" sheet so I can start getting a mental picture of our group.

 

[Tulirose]

Oh Beth, you will get lots of help in this area. Many people stay at the Radisson (I believe) the night prior. Just wait, you asked, they will answer.

And as far as getting a mental picture of your group... it is hard, especially early on and having 9/28/02-wanna-be's posting on your thread doesn't help matters much. But trust me, by the time cruise time arrives, it will be like you are old buddies.

Tiiigergirl - Please don't melt away. Take a jump in the shower if you must!

(#994 BTW)

 

[Twinave]

Now I can get started on the t-shirts. Now...how does this thing work again?
GoofyDisney, Congrats on the new house!
Rellingtwin, Have a GREAT time in New York. Give Tony & Dot a kiss for me.
Our Employee Apprication Party is Aug. 3rd. If my team wins, everyone on my team gets $150. and more important ,2 additional paid vacation days! Go Starfish Team!!!!

My family and I are getting more and more excited about the cruise.

Happy Fourth of July to Everyone!

 

[@GoofyNut]

I tried to post earlier but the outer at work had no internet connection for 2 days.

HELP ... Somewhere along the line I was asked to make a name tag for a Patrick ... Problem is that last night when I was packing then up in folders by DIS name ... can't find a Patrick on Mary's list. Could someone please tell me who Patrick is with! These Senior Moments are driving me crazy ... and these days, that's a short ride!

Just got out of the pool and I'm soaking wet but ART said that i should check in on the "guys".

He just got his scuba boyancy vest yesterday so he is all set for the scuba. BUT he dosen't want to swim with the stingrays. So I guess I'll have to get with kathy and whoever to do that.

I think I saw that we were expanding .... welcome to our group.
Hope we're not too boring for you LOL

Mike ... Like the idea of the at-sea brunch. Would that be the 30th ... that is our actual 30th Anniversary.

 

[@GoofyNut]

Oops ... I forgot to tell you that there is an article on StingRay City in this month's Cruise Travel magazine. August issue ... Seems like a nice place to swim with the fishes.

 

[@GoofyNut]

Guess I'm the only one on right now ...

Has anyone heard from Eric ... Viking? I hope the airline he works for wasn't involved in that plane crash in Germany. So sad and awful for the parents of the kids that lost their lives.

 

[@GoofyNut]

Mary & Rosemary ... We'll be thinking of you when we watch the NYC fireworks on TV ... please have a great time BUT STAY SAFE!

And that goes for the rest of the DIS Cruisears ... if you are doing any fireworks, remember we need you with all your parts!
