11/14/09 - Special Western - 2 CC stops

And a public service announcement:

ONLY SEVEN MORE MONTHS TO PLAN AND PACK!!!!
You may now return to your regularly scheduled DCL daydream.

Seven months is a long time - but it will go very quickly and I will be behind the eight ball as always. We shall all see how it plays out - I am never as behind as I was when we went to Hawaii (didn't pack until the night before, stayed up all night and ended up being sick while we were there) but we shall see.

Where are my fellow Double Dippers??? We are on page three again. Not gonna happen.

Must be all are busy with spring activities. Take care and enjoy the season!

I'm here!!

Put some more money into the cruise fund yesterday - managed to sell my husband's old rollerblades for $100. He wanted to give them away - I said NO WAY - that could buy quite a few DODs!!

Even though the In-Laws were here this past weekend, we didn't discuss the cruise - too busy with 4 little girls and Easter. But that's okay, I'm excited enough for all of us...

Happy Spring - I saw some crocuses out yesterday - it was a beautiful day!!

Cheers,
Lisa

Has anyone calculated what day the "105 days out" fall on?
My math's not so gooder (and I'm lazy)

 

[binky1]

Saturday, August 1st!! It's coming up fast!!! WOOHOOO!!!!

(I'm lazy too - that's what Google's for!!) My DD8 had a math test today on fractions - rather than rack my brain to come up with sample questions, I just Google fraction worksheets and Voila!!)

 

[Desi]

Binky1, Thank YOU! I will circle that on my calendar now!

 

[binky1]

And the bizarre thing is that tomorrow is 105 days away from August 1st!!!

 

[WldWcnWmn]

Whoo Hoo, we're coming, too.

Peter (50) First Disney Cruise

Thea (40) Fourth Disney Cruise

Mekayla (13) Fourth Disney Cruise

So, what'd I miss?

WldWcnWmn and family. I gotta ask - what does WldWcnWmn stand for. I can come up with wld (wild??) and wmn (woman?) if you have just taken out vowels but wcn remains a mystery. And could be I am way off base anyway.

105 days - you lucky DISers you. I have to wait for 75 - but then again I get to go twice so I am very lucky too!

We marked August 1st on our calendar!! Is someone in charge of the Fish Exchange? I have started working on what I am making for our exchange!! My DD and DGDs are planning what they are going to make. I am going to really have to plan packing our luggage with Fish Exchange gifts and pirate costumes and dress up clothes and regular clothes and extra shoes and....., I think I am just going to tell my husband to plan on paying for the extra luggage at the airport.

Now that tax season is over, my first order of business is to get our passports. DH and I both have ones that were issued more than 15 years ago, so we have to start the whole process over. No biggie, though, since we have to get them for the girls. We hit Costco yesterday to get our (lovely) passport photos taken. Now if we could just find DH's old passport. Heaven knows where he stuffed it. Sigh.

Barbara - don't forget you can ship a box to the port. Works great for the FE items.

Go Cavs! Go Indians!

Okay my guess is Wild Wiccan (sp?) Woman - am I right??? Do I get a prize?? Will you buy me a DOD??? All kidding aside, a big welcome to you and your family!! We're a fun bunch - I'm sure Hypermommy will chime in with more info (but she's off camping this weekend with her teenage sons )

Big Jack 2002 (actually Barbara) asked if someone was in charge of the Fish Exchange? I think I recall someone offering but I'll have to check back over our many, many posts - hopefully someone has a better memory than I do.

Yes, we have to get new passports too - mine expires during our cruise - wouldn't it be "terrible" if they didn't let me off the boat - oh, the horrors!!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

You are so right, it's Wild Wiccan Woman and yup, I will spring for a DOD...I could really use one right now....ah

I am so super excited about this cruise, we were just talking the other day about how Disney (and the Mouse powers that be) could just skip the carribbean islands and do CC. I love the Double Dips...as far as I am concerned give me the ship and Mickey's island and I am good.

Cozumel what? where? Oh yes, that's nice now leave me be so I can lie in my hammock and sip a conch cooler. LOL

Welcome WLDWCNWMN!

oops! Wrong cruise information posted

 

[elderfam]

Hello Everyone!

It seems like time is FLYING! I felt a panic coming on the other day thinking about a couple of FE I had offered to make for some friends......then I thought "I still have 7 months to go".....phew! hold the panic. Ha Ha

We have been so busy here getting the yard ready for spring, DH has a new job, plus everything takes 4 times longer to do with an 18 month old in the house.

I just put spring flowes in my front window boxes and a robin has already built a nest and layed (sp?) 2 eggs. That must be a good luck sign! It's cool because we can watch the eggs hatch and the babys grow from the living room.

We have a trip to WDW planned for May 9th and I am busy trying to get ready for it. DS is taking swim lessons since we are staying at BCV and I want him to be water safe. My needs are simple for this trip.....POOL TIME!

When we get back it will be full steam ahead for cruise planning. .......Got to get on those FE's!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Cynthia

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and if not, just remember we are getting closer with every weekend that passes-good or bad.

Welcome WldWcnWmn! I have a daughter who will be 12 and 1/2 when we cruise in November. She will be in Ocean Quest. Will your daughter be 13 at the time of the cruise...and will she be in Ocean Quest too? My daughter would love to chat through email and get to know a friend or two before the cruise if your daughter is interested.

Mekayla's birthday is November 10, 1996 so she'll be just 13 on this cruise. I have already picked her brain about where she thinks she'll hang, I guess it depends on her mood any given day (read: teenager = sudden mood swings) all I know for certain is she plans to make herself scarce from me and Peter. LOL!

We just got our confirmation and they assigned us cabin 6647...its wheelchair accessible and none of us NEED that? Think we should call the TA and tell him he's a lolo? I would hate to have a cabin assigned if some other family could use it...weird.

Hmm, did you have a GTY and that's the room they assigned you? It still might change if someone needs an HA room.....I think. It might be worth asking on the main boards.....If you get to keep it, I know that it's extra space!!
