Thanks Heather! My DH's life is computers so I know he won't be able to get through 7 days without using one. I'm sure my daughter will want to tell her friends how much fun she's having too so the package will work for us.

I am waiting for the day when DCL has internetaccess in the room.....that would be great.

Maybe we can coordinate who will start the

"Live from the 11/13/04 Magic"

thread on the boards and then all take turns posting on it....it will be a fun record of our journey that we can print out when we get back and add to our cruise memory book!

What do you all think?????
or as TinaRN would say - "yawl"?????

Hey Linda, when is Ed going to put up this past weeks weight loss? I emailed him on Sunday with my loss.

Just in case he didn't get it, please have him put me down for 2 more pounds.

What about the other challengers? Any more losses from you guys?

He got the email, Susan. I don't know why he hasn't posted it, but I will "ask" him about it this evening. His work has been a little crazy lately (looks like a lot of travel in his future ) and to top it off, they gave him a new piece of computer hardware to test out, so his head has been buried in his laptop for the last few evenings. (and he's been having way too much fun)

Welcome RocketRalph! Glad to see you here. You will have such a great time!

Great idea, Pat! That would be a great trip report and souvenier. Plus you would get all our "krooz krazy" friend's different perspectives on their vacation. We probably should post a few times a day, so everybody can put their experiences into the thread. (And we are a chatty bunch!)

You are soooooooo right!
With this group - it won't be a problem to get a lengthy thread Krazy and all !!!!

And as we all will be doing different things - based on age and travel companions.....it should be interesting reading for us and the poor non-shipboard DISsers.

 

[mrsmg]

I'm in, Pat! That is a wonderful idea! Maybe we all should spring for the internet packages!

 

[cantsitstill]

Hi Rocketralph and we're ALL giddy over here at our house - been giddy for 298 days (when we booked)!! See you in 46 days!!! Whoo hoo!!

 

[rocketralph]

GrayFal,
It shows you were a veteran of "The Big Red Boat" Disney cruise. Was this when Disney use to cruise with Premier Cruise Lines?

Actually, I am not planning on being online too much,,,,but will bum along with a 'friend' to post updates a few times during the week

Hannomom and I were chatting.....and I think we decided that the group who are staying at the Radisson the night before (not me ) will start the "Live from the 11/13/04 MAGIC" thread as they are leaving for the port - there will already have been a DIS meet the evening before.....so this way,,,,whoever gets online on the ship first can post to the already started thread....

Wa Da Ya Think Everyone ?????

Yes - we did the Disney Land/Sea Package Fall 1992 when my kids were 6 & 8 and put together our own Land/Sea Feb 1995 when they were 9 & 11......Feb 1995 it was no longer Disney but had other charactors onboard I believe???? Then the whole family went for Gram and Popa's 50th wedding anniversary ....and DH and I decided to go by ourselves......Little did I know I would be sailing with all my DIS Pals,,,,so we are not very alone at this point !!!!!!

I remember when we were on the Wonder and stopped in Freeport we saw 2 of the Big Red Boats. They were seized when Premier went bankrupt in 99 and been layed-up there since. It's a shame to see them in such a state of disarray.

More... :thewave:

for Pat's 'alone' trip. It was you, wasn't it Pat, who was planning breakfast in someone's suite, wine tasting w/ the girls, etc...

If this is alone I want to see your party!!


Welcome Aboard, RocketRalph!! (Did we leave room for any non-DISer's on board?) I'm sure you'll fit into this lively bunch just as well as any of us!

 

[GrayFal]

Well Vicki - with all my planned activities, I need to extend the cruise by 3 days to get everything in !!!!

Now about that breakfast........ I will have to see how that goes

Another new addition to the cruise. This will be the eighth or ninth cruise for my wife and I. Looking forward to meeting alot of new people who enjoy Disney. Our daughter Carolyn (rocadonismom) is already signed up with this group. We couldn't bear to not see her for seven days so we're following her. Shush, it's our little secret. LOL

 

[rocadonismom]

Hi everyone, just a quick check-in. I'm really getting excited about this cruise and have been working on the packing list... My parents signed up to go on the cruise. I've been teaching dad (Ralph) how to hang out on the disboard. In fact he stood here while I typed his post.. Okay, let me go see what's going on with everyone.

 

[TaraBelle1069]

First I don't get e-mail notifications (again) and then you go and change the thread name. Is someone trying to tell me something?

Nothing much to say. Is it really 7 weeks? Hope I can lose enough weight between now and then to fit into most of the clothes I bought. I didn't lose anything last week but I'm actually happy to be in a plateau. I was out of town on business and ate dessert three nights, fries at two meals (previously haven't had fries since March!)....I guess my walking around shopping on the weekend paid off.

Hope everyone else is doing well. I guess I should start packing soon.

 

[PoohJen]

Welcome Hyandui! We're glad you'll be coming along! You're sure to have fun with this group on board!

 

[KyCruisinSusan]

OMG

This DisMeet is getting BIGGER AND BIGGER!!!

Welcome RocketRalph and hyandui. We are a krooze krazie bunch.

Carolyn I guess you aren't cruising solo anymore. LOL

Let us know if Mom and Dad need a door sign.

Tara, keep your eyes open for the thread name to keep changing.

John is just trying to keep everybody on their toes. LOL Don't take it personally.

I can't start offically packing til Sunday the 9th. I need the bed in the spare bedroom to layout the suitcases, and John's kids will be here that weekend. Oh well, at least that way I won't be packing to early.

The weird thing is that the thread is normally a different colour because it's a link I have clicked. This time it wasn't. The weirder thing is that I stopped receiving updates. I'm getting them again.

I can't believe it's almost October!!

 

[adisneymama]

Good Morning everyone!

Welcome Hyandui! This is a great group and very comical! LOL

Well, I'll be on later, gymnastics this morning, so I have to go feed the munchkin and get ready!

Talk to you all soon! Happy Wednesday!

 

[fit_guy]

I'll be on the upcoming Nov. cruise with 22 other members of my family. It will be the first time on a "Disney" cruise for everyone.
