Another OUTSTANDING photo - Dave. That should go into a frame and on the wall.

Not yet but it may end up in one very soon!!

Beautiful, Dave. Hey, why do you need DCL photographers when you are so gifted!

Jan

Thank you so much!!

For those of you going to WDW early here's a pic I just finished working to get you in the mood....

One week today and I will be on my way!!!!!!!!!

WOW. WOW. WOW. That is one amazing photo!

 

[detiveaux]

is there an arcade on board, my six year old wants to know

Arcade

Yes, a nice one. Complete with air hockey table. You fill a card with credits and then use that in the game machines. It's by the Goofy Pool.

Even with a limo ride ride it's still cheaper to fly out of Buffalo then YYZ, go figure...

Glad you got things worked out. Who are you flying with? We are on southwest and fly out at 6:15 Friday morning.

We are flying into Seattle next May for our Alaska cruise - it is drastically cheaper for a family of four to fly into Seattle than Vancouover. It's quite surprising at the cost difference.

Some pics on the last Eastern Itinerary went on - they are to large to submit on here but if you click the link and then the pictures you can view some of the island pictures we got:

Thank god my kids did not find this until the last day or we may have spent a fortune. I hope they forgot about it. They are not big gamers anyway so maybe my pocketbook won't take a hit

Nevermind...found it

What's on the agenda this weekend, you ask??? Got to PACK!!!!!

 

[Lawhamel]

I've been bitten by the sick bug. I am freaking out. I see no downtime to rest/recover between now and then. Think I am making a dr appt for Monday, in case I am not feeling better

Hope you are feeling better!! Our two are Molly (8) and Greg (10). Molly and Ainsley have posted to each other on the kid board - very cute. You've got a week - feel better!! This is our first cruise, and we are all psyched.

We leave on Tuesday. My last day at work was yesterday so My VACATION HAS BEGUN!!!! I can't wait to meet you all on board. We will be at Country inn and Suites this coming Thursday. Planning to eat at the port somewhere if anyone else wants to join please PM me. I will provide my cell phone so we can make contact. Were thinking about Grills.


Only 7 days, OMG only 7 day before we cruise!

 

[Anjelica]

Last minute running around this weekend. Lot's of laundry then hopefully we are done packing by tomorrow. I can't believe we waited this long to get it done.

 

[CADZNYCHC]

We are enjoying a wonderful "parents weekend" and hanging with our ds at lUniv of Pacific, then 3 sleeps and I'm gone!!! Last minute stuff to get - last mi ute packing and two long days at work and a board mtg before my midnite flight -enough to keep me busy

 

[d'Isigny]

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!! WOW....such a long wait comes down to just one more week.

I finished my last day at my regular job and have one more side job left...AND I AM ON VACATION!!!!

QUESTION...did we decide on how we will recognize each other at port? Not sure I remember what we decided on...was it green mardi gras beads?

Anyhoo...thought I’d join in and post a photo. Here is Magens Bay in Saint Thomas – can’t wait to see this again.

Moving onto St. Thomas

We hired a cab and went to Coki Beach/Coral World.

This photo is of Coki Beach taken from the Observation building that is out in the water at Coral World.

I took this photo while snorkeling at Coki Beach. You didn't have to go very far out to see fish. They are in much closer than CC.

In one week from today at about 5:00pm we will be hearing the first seven notes of WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR

This next week is going to be the longest week of the year and the week we are on the Magic will be over in a blink of an eye

LOL - you're right about that...we are flying AirTran at 5:10pm on Fri...even with the cost of the limo its still cheaper than a direct from Pearson! We don't drive at all so renting a car is out but the limo services are not that ridiculous and it means I don't have to lug luggage onto a bus and wait at the border for 50 other people who may or MAY NOT have their passports in order!

Luckily I got a super cheap WestJet flight home - $200 DIRECT! But we leave at 7am

That means we are at MNSSHP until after 12am on Sun Oct 31st...prob around 1am by the time we get back to All Star Music (we like to hang around after the parties and wait for the BIG crowds to disapate)...then we get changed, maybe shower and go out to meet our 3am trip to the airport!


Not the best situation but we don't have kids and I figure this way I have more spending money for MNSSHP PINS!!!

Hi,

Donny & I had a last minute money shortage and while we will be fine on our vacation it means we did have to cut back on a few things...like the excursions through DCL we had reserved. We were going to do two snorkeling excursions on different boat experiences: catamaran & sail.

I have cancelled them but am now looking for some advice on what we can do on our own for cheap.

We're young, don't mind walking-but nothing too strenuous (we are on vacation after all ) and don't drive. We're not lie on the beach kinda people but love to swim & snorkel.

Help?

Thanks in advance,
Tarin

Hi, Tarin

We've booked the St. Thomas Island Tour thru island Marketing
http://stthomascruiseexcursions.com/StThomasExcursions.htm
Cost is $29.00 per person

You get 2 hours sightseeing, 2 hours beach time at Megans Bay and 2 hours shopping. Leaves at 9am. You can come back to the ship after any of the 2hour tour segments if you choose. We are just doing the sightseeing portion and then they are dropping us in Charlotte Amalie for shopping.
