OK Folks,
we finished packing, checked our packing list and are ready to go
Bad news: I wanted to bring 40 minibottles of Schnaps, but those boxes of 20 bottles were no longer available
Good news: They come now in bags of 10 each. I bought 6 2 Sweet Apple, 2 Sour Apple, 2 Cherry - 60 bottles total

See Y'all - Some sooner, some later

Dan the man. Hope that you and Scott have a wonderful cruise. Take care of the Magic for the rest of us.

Come on October. Mike

Dan!!! Nice to "see" you! Have fun on your trip. Are you going to WDW? Does Rosemary know you are going to be in FL? She is on her way South right now.

Well, I thought I'd be busy selling my junk at my yard sale, but it is raining So everything has been covered and waiting for the rain to stop.

Eric and Anja are almost in the states!I'm so glad they are bringing me some
Schnaps! But what about everyone else??

Still no docs here

jeanniec ....
"they should knock these old buildings down and build something more modern!" Best to keep Sam away from Charleston!!! They HURT people here for saying such things!

Eric and Anja...safe traveling!

While looking at the Cruz list I noticed that there are some other Disers staying at Pop Century the night before the cruise. I will be there also. Are you guys interested in our own little mini-meet?
I plan on being at EPOCT on Oct 1 to see illuminations. So a late night meet or a morning meet on Saturday.

I'm beginig to hit panic mode! It seemed so far away and now it is coming awful fast.

hello all
we are still getting settled in the new house and trying to get the old one clean. i can not believe all the dirt a house collects in 3 years. lost my job yesterday and man does that suck. my job was temporary but was told it would turn permanant, WELL IT DIDNT!! ok i am mad. now i have to hit the pavement again. our community sucks for jobs the last 2 years. our main employer with over 2000 employees move to mexico almost 2 years ago and living in a town with only 13000 thats alot of people without jobs. oh well we will make it. just was nice doing better than making it.

still no doc yets. i called make a wish to see if they received them yet and they said no.

take care all

Sorry about the job Jill.

No docs here yet....But did get DD dress from e-bay. It is beautiful. Fits her perfectly.

Can't believe just 3 weeks to go.

Once again, anyone out there need a boys tux with tails size 4? Just let me know. Comes with everything except the shoes.

Sooner rather than Later,
Avé

 

[dan and scott]

Our group already has their docs-oh wait we leave next Saturday-well actually Wednesday to go to FL!

Did I post on the wrong thread? NOPE-just wanted to brag a little!

Love and miss you guys!

Thank you, Sara'sMom from PA, for letting me know about the Grand Pineapple Resort in Aruba.

Piglet33, are many people from the Oct 2 Magic cruise going to the Grand Pinapple in Aruba? Do they charge $45 per child also? Do you know how much a taxi would be from the ship to the resort?

Thanks for your help. This will be our first Disney cruise. Can't wait!

Hi - sorry I don't know how, but I missed this post the other day and just saw it now. I just sent you a PM with the info that I have. Just let me know if you are interested in joining us.

Renee: got our "new" magnets today and I have safely tucked them inside of my Cruisetoberfest binder. Thanks again. you are awesome.

I'm sincerely hoping that they will show the new movie Ladder 49 on board, I think it opens on 10/1.

Still debating on whether or not to lug the laptop -- The only thing I can think of needing it for would be downloading digital photos, but I think I read that Eric was bringing along a device that he offered for use.

Anybody else think I should bring it? We have a long flight down (leaving Friday after work from Philly with a layover and connection in DC) Have never used it on a plane, can you do anything other than watch a movie or word processing?

 

[Twinave]

Eric and Anja will be here in 13 days!
For those of you who know this wonderful couple, you can imagine how excited I am to "hostess" them here in FL.
For those who have not yet had the chance to meet them, you will know what I mean in a few weeks.
These two are some of the best people you will ever want to meet! Friendly, outgoing, and kind. And I, for one, feel privileged to know them.

For all you "newbies" ...... you will never have another cruise like this. Ever! This group is the most wonderful collection of people you will ever meet. And it will be all you make it to be!

I hate that this is our 'last" cruise. And not because I will miss the Cruise, but because I will miss the friends I have made. I will miss checking the Boards. What else am I going to do when I get home from Work???????

OK, I'm done.

Ave,
You have echoed my thoughts...but why not have our own 'board'? what a great way to continue to stay in touch...

[dan and scott]

Ave,

Why is this your last cruise? Are you saying that we NEVER get to cruise again with you?

Dan

 

[dan and scott]

Bette,

Pinky says hello!

Dan

 

[bettemom]

Hi Dan!
Bernie says "HI" right back...Hope all is well with both of you...

This is a great idea. I was thinking the same thing about all the friends I have made and not seeing them next year. The Repo cruise in August will definitely not be the same without all you wonderful people.

Hi Dan and Scott I was just thinking about you the other day as I saw this really big lighted flamango in a store. Norm made a comment since we didn't get Pinky in Key West maybe we could buy are own Pinky. This one even had a lighted Palm Tree with it. Enjoy your trip.

Ave-- I feel the same way that I will miss all the friends on the boards when I don't cruise with them next year. Because I am the Chairperson for my professional groups NE Regional conference which is the 3rd weekend in Oct 2005, we won't be cruising until after that is over. Plus we would really like to go on another of RCCL Voyager class ships again either Mariner of the Sea or the Navigator. I know people on these boards are diehard DCL fans but we don't mind RCCL or even Carnival. We found each cruiseline has both postive and negatives. We always try to go on a cruise where we can try at least one new port of call. We have used our DVC points for the past 2 cruises so would like to stay back at OKW again on points. The only thing that I will truely miss not doing the DCL is the wonderful friends that I have made.

Isn't there some place on the cruise boards that they move you post cruise and you can stay in touch?


Enough sitting in front of the computer for tonight.
