Hello everyone,

I posted a few times about 90,000 posts ago back on thread 1. Boy you guys have been busy! I haven't been around here much but we're still going on this cruise.

This has probably been covered, but does anyone know when DCL will be having their halloween activities? We cruised the Magic last year and they had trick-or-treating on the 30th, I think because we were on Castaway Cay on the 31st. With us disembarking on the 31st I didn't know if they will be celebrating Halloween on our cruise or the one embarking on the 31st.

Also, last year they had some special Halloween themed gift items that they had available to order but I don't remember how far ahead they sent those brocures out. Has anyone seen anything like this this year? We'll probably order from Shirley anyway but I like to know what is available.

We've got most of our planning done and now it's just anxiously watching the countdown clock...

Paul

Welcome back Paul :yay: Sorry I cannot answer your question. Maybe if you call DCl they might give you some info???

For those of you waiting, Disney has released the fall codes through Christmas Eve. I will probably be calling Central Reservations later today to see what I can get. Here is the link from Mousesavers

Chris---what is this??

Talk about crazies:

Bob's ex- wife is now refusing to send his daughter here for the visit that he's already paid the airfare on and rearranged his vacation schedule at work to accomodate her being here for 3 weeks.:headache::mad:

He's so upset.

It was all over a squabble about how she couldn't come up with the money to send Shawna here so that Bob would have to pay. He told her she was way overdue
(she's supposed to come every summer and every other Christmas and birthday and they are supposed to alternate who pays the airfare)
And Shawna hasn't been here since 2006 and Bob paid for that time too!

So he told her she should at least pay half and that he'd take $100 out of her monthly support check for 6 months to cover her half...... she never said yes or no.

Technically, a year ago she asked for $100 extra a month and he did it willingly but they never put it in writing.
So..... technically he's still paying her the stated $ in their divorce agreement, but
she's so pissed about this she told him she is refusing to put Shawna on the plane next week!:headache:

Unbelievable how a parent could do that to their ex and also to their child.
(honestly that $100 is only worth about a bit over half in Germany anyway!)

So now he's cancelled the plane fare.... with no refund either! Only credit toward future flights. (which he could have used the $$ for his house closing)

And I really can't change the cruise to include him.
My girlfriend is so looking forward to it and she would not want to cancel.

What a mess:headache:

And Bob was so looking forward to seeing his daughter too:hug:

I am sorry to hear this. I have had to deal with, as I like to call it, Baby Mama Drama for years. Don't they realize in the end that they only one they are hurting is the kids???? Hang in there :hug:

Well, yet again I'm up a stoooopid o clock,

I even got up before Neil this morning and made him coffee and melon and strawberries for brekkie... I'll get brownie points for that:thumbsup2:angel:

Its dry so far, havent seen the forecast yet, but hopefully I'll get a walk in today and clock up my steps.

Nancy - how did you do yesterday?

Anyone else pedometering? - we should all get one and encourage each other.:thumbsup2 Its hard if you have a "sitting down" job. A firend of mine clocks up 16,000 each day just at work as she's on her feet al day:scared1:

Some days, I would only clock up about 4000 if I was standing ironing, in the car or catching up with some tv etc. It really encourages you to move when you see how lazy you've been that day:rolleyes1.

Maybe I will put my pedometer back on. I should have done it yesterday when I went golfing. Good job Karen & Nancy!!

Hiya Paul..good to see that you're still with us. When I did a Halloween cruise with DCL some years back the celebrations were only on 31st. So I think you might have missed the boat, so to speak.:rotfl:

I haven't seen anything on the DCL website that referes to themed gifts either, but I'm sure someone will be along soon with a better answer for you.
 
Welcome back Paul :yay: Sorry I cannot answer your question. Maybe if you call DCl they might give you some info???

You know, after I posted my post, I did think about this one too. Or email them?:confused3
 
Just a quick update - my brother made it to the states this morning and as of right now, he is in Denver, Colorado trying to get a plane to Little Rock (Iraq to Kuwait to DC to DENVER (??) to Little Rock..... some travel agent he got!!)

I set up a caringbridge site so if you are interested in keeping up with the twins, i will post everything there - that way we can keep this board ALL CRUISE related (and it will be my "respite"!)

Here is the site: https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/hedrickwondertwins

Thanks again for all your pryaers and hugs. They are truly appreciated!!

Precious photos - truly adorable - :grouphug:

Go for it!:thumbsup2
 

Angie, that website is awesome.
Wow, those babies are so tiny!:cutie:
So amazing that they doing ok:thumbsup2

Thanks for sharing with us and we will keep wishing those babies all the best luck in the world:hug:
 
Hi everyone! Just found this site. We are on this cruise and had a Cat. 5 GTY. They just posted our room number today. Did anyone else get theirs?
 
Is anyone else scheduling through non-Disney excursions? There seem to be some nice options out there. We already booked 2 and are waiting to book the Doubloon on the 10th.

Regarding Halloween, I think we will be telling our son that he is dressing as a pirate this year and we are celebrating early ;)



I'm thinking about the pirate cruise in St Maarten. Otherwise were not doing too much.

:welcome: :welcome: to the BOB.

I'm Heather ad my DH is Rick. We from a wet sunny UK and can't wait for the 24th. It's getting nearer each day. Lots of info on page one. Jump right in and tell us all about yourself and your travelling companions. The other BOB'ers will be along soon.
 
Ok, quick question for anyone with a Disney Visa....

I have been racking up rewards points - now how exactly do I turn that into OBC? Just request a rewards card and use it as payment at Guest Services?

Just double-checking...that's my bar bill money...:drinking1:drinking1:drinking1


:lmao::rotfl2::lmao::rotfl2:
 
To link every one I need your full names, room number and age.

Also tell me who is at your table if you want to sit with certain people.

We all have to be on the same rotation to be together, so if any one has a preference let me know and the whole group will have to follow.

Hiya Joanne. Just got confirmation of our linked table - Mike and Robin; Walt and Di; Steve, Laura and their two children and Rick and I. We're all on early dining. The others will PM you the details you need.

Here's to a great cruise:yay::yay:

Hey everyone and a good evening.

I just filled out our online check in at disneycruise.com. I also just sent an email to Dreams asking for a room only quote for MNSSHP.

Things are really coming together!
 
Wow, expected a lot of pages to catch up on and only had about 4. I just finished day 7 of 9 in a row. Laura and the kids are going to Pinecrest (Mountain Lake) for the rest of the week tommorrow for our churches family camp. I'm joining them on Thursday night. I really need that R&R. The crazies have been coming out of the woodwork lately. It's very draining to have to deal with people whose perception of reality is so very different than your own.

:worship::worship:
enjoy your r&r.:wizard:
my brother worked in an ER for a while till he became a nurse anestitist(sp).
he always said that was a very high stress job.:worship:
