[MJGirl]

Hi ... Couldn't find a thread for this cruise, so I thought I would start one. If there is already one out there, please let me know.

Anyone else booked? It is me and my daughter (19 at time of travel) going. October 12, is the Canadian Thanksgiving! I wonder if there will be any Turkey!

Hi again... As I won't be joining you fine folks.... Here is a link to Shel's temporary info post. She will be updating the post there and will transfer it to the first page when you reach the magic post/page number. Take care all. It was a pleasure chatting with you all!

Hi MJGirl!

We booked yesterday as soon as the 2009 dates opened up! I'm so excited as I think this will be a very fun cruise!!!

It will be:
(ages at time of travel)

Me - 36
DH - 40
DS - 13
DD - 11
DS - 11
DS - 9
DD - 4

* I also have a DD who will be 19 (turning 19 this very week, actually), but she more than likely will not be cruising with us as she will be away at college.

I'm so glad you started this thread! Hopefully there will be a few more DISers joining us!

Welcome aboard

I'm hoping this will be a blast ... It will be my third cruise, but first one out of Port Canaveral. I've been to the Med and am doing the Repo this summer. Oh no ... I think I'm hooked. I see this will be your third cruise as well. I see you just got off the magic! Looking forward to chatting with you! Hope to meet other DISers soon!!!

Anyone else out there???

Anyone else out there???

My DW, DGD and myself just returned from our first cruise ever on the Magic this past October. We had great weather and great seas. We actually booked our next cruise while on board. But, when we saw the new destinations we knew we had to change to this one going to St. Croix. We are really looking forward to this next cruise.

Let me introduce myself, my name is David, DW is Donna and DGD(granddaughter), is our little princess Emily. Emily will be 10 yrs old at the time of this cruise. We had a great time on our last cruise. We are late comers to the cruising scene. But we are hooked big time now. We live in Florida so we go to Disney World ever chance we get. So the Disney Cruise was the natural next step.

Well better get back to work. Nice meeting you two. I know soon enough we will have plenty joining our group. Talk to you soon.

Hi David (and Donna and Emily) ... Welcome aboard... I too am looking forward to St. Croix ... can't wait! I am hooked as well to both DCL and WDW. I just got back last on Monday from my first MVMCP. It was my first trip in Winter. I left behind a foot of snow to beautiful 85 degrees. It was great weather, hot but no humidity. I usually travel in late August so you can imagine how humid things were.

By the way, my name is Mary Jane and my daughter is Kirstyn. Take care!

I wanted to let my two fellow cruisers know, I have a vacation count down clock on my computer at home and, drum roll please...................... we only have 660 days until our cruiser!!! WOOOO HOOOOO

I also want to wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Please have a safe holiday. Be good, and just maybe Santa will bring you just what you want this Christmas.

We are staying home and having family over Christmas Eve. Got's to bake Chriatmas cookies this week-end. I of course am the official taster of the Christmas cookies. It's a hard job, but someone has to do it. I wouldn't let just anyone do this very important job. My son, when he was younger. tried to edge me out. Silly boy. He grew up and got married, now he is the official taster at his home. Smart lad.

Well got to go and get to work. Talk to you soon

 

[MJGirl]

Wow ... 660 days .. that's scary ...

Merry Christmas to you too davidls, and to you mommyto5 (or should I say 6). Hope you have a great day and that 2008 finds you Healthy, Happy and enjoying all that is Disney!

Take care!

PS... I am the official cookie taster in my house as well .

 

[davidls]

MERRY CHRISTMAS Mary Jane, Kirstyn & Mommyto5/6. I hope you have a safe and very happy holidays.

Oh hey guess what? Go ahead and guess.......... nope that ain't it........ nope that either........ no no no no no, way off base on that one.......... well I guess I better tell ya. We are going to have a WHITE CHRISTMAS down here in Florida!!!!! That's right the Sunshine State in a blanket of white!!! The weatherman promised that when we wake up Christmas morning we will have dense fog!!!!! You didn't think I was talking snow did you?!?!? Silly you!

Well I got's to go, got's to wrap some Christmas gifts. Santa was vwey, vwey, vwey good to the family this year. I'm hoping I can get the cat to put her paw on the ribbon while I finish tieing it off. All she ever wants to do is bite the ribbon. MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!![/SIZE]

 

[MommyTo5]

Hi davidls - it's great to meet ya! I'm glad there will be at least 3 of us on board!

I keep meaning to pop over here and chat with you all, but things have been so hectic and crazy here while we've been getting ready for Christmas! I've been trying to devote some time to preparing for our upcoming Disney World trip next month (only 27 days to go - woohoo!) as well as our Western Cruise in November (finally made a few plans for that - got the Hyatt booked for the night before and will be booking the night after at Animal Kingdom Lodge)! I can't wait until I can start making some decisions regarding THIS cruise! I'm really looking forward to St. Croix!!!

I do hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas! We'll be spending it at home this year which is the most relaxing way to do it --- but we've decided to go ahead and make the 6-hr drive up to Iowa for New Year's Day to celebrate the season with my Grandma, Aunt & Uncle, and my cousins & their families. Everyone is really looking forward to that, although my kids really do soooo much better on a plane than they do on these road trips.

 

[davidls]

Hi Mommyto5/6, nice to meet you too.wave: Hey, with just the three of us and our families going the lines won't be long for anything, huh?!?!
I'll bet you and your family are excited about your trip to WDW, and you are going on a cruise next November??? WOW, that is great. We live here in Florida, in the Tampa Bay area. So, we go over to WDW as often as we can. There is always someone's birthday, anniversary or some kind of special day to celebrate at WDW. Then there are the days we need to just get away from it all and lose ourselves in the Disney Magic. We took our first cruise this past October. It was great!!!! We booked another cruise while on board. When this one for St. Croix came out we knew had to take this one. We are really looking forward to going.
Well, it's been great meeting and talking to you mommyto5/6. Talk to you soon.

 

[lenzs4]

I booked this as well. I think this will be the cruise we stay with....

It will be me Shirley
DH - Bobby
DS - Trenton age 11
DD - Emily age 8

This is cruise 5 for us.

 

[winotracy]

Hey everyone! We'll be on this cruise with you all. I think it will be our 12th Disney Cruise. We have a few planned between now and then. Can't wait to meet everyone and to see St. Croix!

 

[MJGirl]

Hello lenzs4 and winotracy ... welcome aboard ... I see we are up to 5 DISers on board ... I"m sure that number will increase by the time the cruise comes up. Hey Tracey ... Aren't you on the EB repo as well? We will have to meet up and say Hello! I am so looking forward to that cruise!

So I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I know we did. I have to go back to work tomorrow, as I used up all my vacation this year what with my Med trip and my various WDW trip. Next year I've already allocated 19 for the Repo. That leaves 6 days left to play with. Let me see ... should I save them for Christmas next year, or go to WDW again... Tough decision to make.

Anyhow ... Happy New Year everyone! Take care... Talk to ya soon!

 

[winotracy]

Hi MJGirl, yes, I'm on the EB repo! Celebrating my 40th there! We're staying onboard for the 5 night cruise too but in a different cabin. We've got the Roy for the 5 night!!! We'll definitely have to meet on the repo, we've got 15 days to do it

 

[MJGirl]

Hi Tracey ... I'll be at WDW that week after the cruise. I'm adding on the Backstage Magic ABD before the cruise, hence the 19 days!

MJ

 

[davidls]

Just wanted to say hi to the new posters coming along on the cruise. I think this will be a great cruise. My family and I are excited about going, and we only have 648 days to go.

Also, I want to wish ya'll a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! please be safe, but have fun. We are staying home this year and welcoming in the new year. Granddaughter Emily is with us and we said she could stay up to midnight with us if she can stay awake. (It's more like if DW and I can stay awake till midnight!!!!)

Well take care everyone, talk to you soon.
