10/22/11 Parley!! Will this get me on the ship any faster?

[GOS]

subbing! So excited to find you guys!

Hello everyone

We just decided we are going on this cruise this year

We went on the same itinerary last year about this same time and loved it.
We went October 23-30 2010 Eastern.

It will be DH(Bob) Myself(Crystal) DS14(Dennis) DS13(Bryce) and DD7(Heidi)

We look forward to meeting everyone

Crystal

Welcome...one and all.

and a FO to boot!

BTW Heather you announce you are going and everyone starts booking. Hmmmm, must be a princess afterall.

I'll have to pack my crown then Becky.

 

[GOS]

ala Jon Stewart's "Rally to Restore Sanity"...I Underdog am willing to cross the aisle with a "Rally to Restore Smoothie Sanity". I hereby agree to try a chocolate smoothie ( in a tribute to my friend Rick) in hopes that smoothie lovers of all kinds can agree to get along.

That is of course IF someone is willing to buy me one.

I'm even willing to sit next to one of the "chocolate smoothie lovers" at the State of the CruiseShip Address.

Mike...it will be my pleasure!

Since Rich is a few years older than me, he likes to use the motto "Your only as old as who you feel."

Think we need this on a T. shirt too.

I know I sure will be! Bought one of those cute little hair comb tiaras, like the ones from BBB, at WDW last year, as it was my first trip. ...maybe we should do "team" tiaras for formal night?!!

Sean sure is a good sport Lindsey. So, ALL the Parley Boys will be wearing tiaras for formal night then.

Great idea. Although I'm not sure I can get Chuck to wear one.

Lori TRICKED me into wearing one for a few seconds on the last cruise. Luckily there was no picture evidence.

Maybe we need to throw Mango Smoothies in there too. I never saw those.

I'm liking the idea of a punch card though too. One side for Mango and one side for Strawberry for me. You can have my Chocolate card Kathy.

Thanks MG!

I like it! Chocolate & Strawberry can peacefully co-exist! Oh wait - I forgot about Orange & Mango

OMG! One or the other (or both of these) need to be on a t-shirt!!

Yes!

I think that deserves a t-shirt as well

Team Tiaras - Yes!!! Just tell us when! Tink will be so excited since she never got to wear hers on our last cruise.

anyone watch the Dream Christening? i had it on but could only hear the talking. The video kept saying "please be patient while video loads". But it never did. I got to listen though.

The Dream does look nice, but we'll wait for the Fantasy. Robin and i arnt fans of Nassua at all.

 

[Dyerneeds]

the video did finally appear just in time. wow thats big bottle of bubbly.

Frank was watching - I had to work

I can take or leave Nassau as well but there is a Members Cruise Reunion cruise on the Dream next March - it's a 5 day with a double dip at CC. I'm thinking about booking that one.

That's what YOU think!

This would be a question for 2+ Disney Cruisers. This will be our second time on the Beautiful Disney Magic and we were wondering if it gets less exciting or if everytime is like the first?

We are so excited and I personally think the second is harder then the first cruise. The first you are excited but don't really know what to expect and what you have been missing. But this time we all know what to expect and can't hardly contain ourselves. October seems like so far away.

What is the smoothie vote for? We have 2 for strawberry, 2 for chocolate, and one says vanilla. I know the vanilla is not an option but he says vanilla

I think each cruise gets more and more exciting! The first couple of Disney cruises we took we didn't know about the DIS, so we didn't know anyone ahead of time, but we still had a blast. When we took the Member Cruise in 2008, I had been posting on the thread for about 6 months before the cruise and it was even more fun when we got to meet everyone in person! We've made cruise buddies that will be friends for life - the circle keeps getting wider.

I get teary every time I see The Magic or The Wonder waiting for me at the port I cried my eyes out when The Wonder left Port Canaveral for the last time, even though I will see her again in April in LA.

Just remember that every cruise is a little different so everything may not happen exactly the way it did the first time. But I'm sure you'll have lots of new experiences to add to your cruise memories. And you are cruising with a very crazy bunch of DISers!

I think Mikey should explain the Battle of the Smoothies because I believe he started it I love the request for vanilla - we'll have to see what we can do about that.

I have to agree it gets better. 2007 we took our 3rd DCL cruise, and it was the start of something special. We met some really great friends from the DIS on that cruise that we had been talking too here on these boards. We are still cruising together. Even when one of us can't go we all continue to communicate. So I have to say that the communication and relationships we have formed on this board is what has made our DCL cruising so much more fun and special.

I have to say this will be our 7th Disney cruise and they just keep getting better. The Dis has helped us make lifelong friends.
Getting to know people a little before cruising makes it so much more fun because then everywhere you turn on the ship "you run into a friend".

As far as the Smoothie Debate goes...... i guess i'll take a little bit of the credit (or blame) for that.
Robin and i got hooked on Strawberry Smoothies on one our first cruises. I think we had about 8 of them on a 4 day cruise. On our 2007 cruise (nicknamed Konked Kruisers) we decided that since there was a wine tasting, beer tasting etc on the ship and we dont drink, that we'd schedule a meet of our own with friends and call it a Strawberry Smoothie meet in Quiet Cove Cafe.
It was a huge success so we organized a similar meet on our 2009 cruise (nicknamed BOB for bash on the boat) It was here that Robin was turned on to the "the dark side of smoothies" by Heathers husband Rick. He'd comment that "the force is strong in Robin".
Since then its been kind of a running joke about the battle of smoothies.
I think pictures of our smoothie meets are on our trip reports at the bottom of our signatures.
