11/22/08 Thanksgiving 2008 cruise thread. Double Dipping Travelling Turkeys!

[Mean Queen]

Do they have the Ray-hawk that was on the news a week ago. I thought those were so cute.

My DH doesn't have hair, so no Ray-hawk for him. But you see them on just about every boy in my DD's school. All of a sudden, mohawks have become common on kids around here.

 

[Mean Queen]

and 3000!!!

Congrats! Oddly, when I see your counter it says you only have 1,228 posts.

I meant on this thread, not my total...and looking at RLCook's earlier post, if the "not nice" people referred to are the Disboard's moderators since 2x4 seems to have disappeared completely from this thread, I strongly suspect they had nothing to do with the website since the server in the website name appeared to be somewhere else entirely...I would guess that may have been 2x4's own decision. But since I saw mention somewhere that she had been banned before, I don't find it too surprising since the moderators are tough and probably check back on threads where someone may have been kicked....a friend of mine lost posting privileges for a few weeks b/c of something she said in response to a thread due to the tone she used, no matter whether or not it may have been justified...but that is what helps to make this website successful.

Hi Everybody Its offical we are on the Thanksgiving Day Cruise. I know many names from last Thanksgiving and Spring Break. We were going to move this cruise but decided to go. As soon as we paid in full Volusia County School District decided to take away two of our vacation days for hurricane days. So the "Should we go?" started again. Well Mickey WON!

I know it is late notice but we would like to participate in the Fish Extenders. I started reading the posts(well not all of them!! You guys have been way too busy) and I see a lot of you sound like you have finished making and marking yours. If it is too late let me know. My DS Frank is 15 and my DD Nikki is 12. They both think they are too old but I can tell how much they like checking out the FE when we come back to the room. Well me too!!! We are in Rooms 2062 and 2064.

Can't wait to meet everyone or say Hi to old friends. Catch me up if you can on meets and things like that

Welcome
I will have extra FE stuff as well. I also have a 15 year old DS. He's never done an FE so he has no idea what will happen!
We will be having a meet on day 1 at 3pm, prior to the sail a way party. DCL will be notifying me as soon as they determine what room they will give us. As soon as they let me know, I will post it on the board and make sure everyone knows the details. (I check my email every day to make sure I get the info asap!)

My on line check in is done. Don't know why it took me so long to complete. It's really a simple process!
Has anyone ever booked cruises with Mouse for Less, Dreams Unlimited or any of the other online agents? If so, how were they?

 

[ICEMANPAD]

We have not - we always book directly w/DCL and usually we re-book while still on the ship to get the 10% + 200.

Hi ICEMANPAD Glad we are going to with you again. I missed most of it before because I was sick so maybe this time I can see an island or two.

Cindy,

I FINALLY got around to showing Michellene the bracelets. She loved them. I really appreciate you going out of your way to do this for us. We still have not told our DD that we are going on the cruise yet, once we spill the beans to her, I'll give her her bracelet. I am sure she will love it as well!!

Thanks again!!

Ken

Sorry to post two times in a row, but I was wondering if I could get some names from some of you? I'm working on my FE's and need to know the names of kids in the following groups:

mattsmom01
practicallyperfect
sinderelli
herrqsmee
cruisecrzy (the group with a DD4)
Icemanpad (Mason, right?)

I have all of the ages, but I'd like to know names if I can so I can address their FE bag.

Thanks so much!

Susan

You are correct...our DS is Mason. Thanks!!

We are starting to get excited for our trip, we are watching Disney Cruise videos on Youtube. Love that horn!

I dont like to admit to cryihng (as any guy wont), but it always brings a tear to my eyes when I hear it in person. The worst is when we are vacationing in Cocoa Beach eating at PC watching the cruise ships depart. You get to experience the horn in person, but not be on the ship

The web site is back up with changes/additions. It must have been under renovation when it was down.

Apparently your DD does not go to the school that suspended anyone with a ray-hawk. I saw that on the news like a week or so a go.

Actually here in Osceola County you are not permitted Mohawks and they will send you home or you can try and comb it down. Silly, but I don't make the rules.

Chuck you crack me up with the 3,000 thing!!!

Off to do some work since Chuck kindly pointed out its importance.

 

[ICEMANPAD]

Well in 2005, it was 3000, 4000 and 5000 as I recall...but I really don't care about it...it was just there to do....some people were having a competition to hit the numbers though as i recall

Chuck

and yes the website does appear to be back up and updated, though some pages were requiring the occasional refresh to pop up.

Now that you say that I do remember one year there were people having competitions to see who would get to be the put it over the number post. Silly game

Thanks for getting the website updated! It looks great, and we all appreciate it.

I agree, it looks wonderful! Thanks for your hard work, we are so fortunate to have a group website. My girls and I love looking at the pictures of everyone.

 

[seadooken]

Webiste looks great!! My DW was watching over my shoulder last night while we went through it. She was definitely impressed that you took the time to put it together!

It is nice to be able to put faces with the names. That way when we get on board, we don't randomly attack people wearing lime green stuff. The fact that the board went down right after my picture was added was just a coincidence.
