Welcome macassi! We're first time cruisers also and cannot begin to tell you how much these boards have helped in our planning.

Happy reading and posting!

Oh no! Page 3? Bumping...

Noticed this weekend that swimsuits are out in stores. Already budgeted 2 new suits per person, just need to find ones they like and us parents can live with (ugh teenagers!)
 

Hello my name is Michele and we are doing the Turkey Cruise. I am traveling with my DD (17 at time of cruise), my BF Stacie and her DS (9 at time of cruise) and my #2 mom Mary. This will be everyone's second Disney cruise but Mary's first.
We are so excited. We will be staying at the hotel in the Orlando airport the day before.
Anyone traveling with any other teens? My DD is upset as her sister was suppose to come but she is now expecting her first baby and so the baby will not be old enough. My DH will stay home to help her and have a family dinner with her and her boyfriend.
Looking forward to getting to know you all.

:cheer2: Welcome to the new "Traveling Turkeys"! Have you all read the first post about the website dutch_girl_scout put together for us?
 
Welcome pixidustmom!!!

I have some teenagers traveling with us, but I think they are a lot younger than your DD. On the otherhand, my youngest DS will be 9 (almost 10) at the time of the cruise.

Your DD should be able to find someone around her age with the help of our DDTT website courtesy of dutch_girl_scout. Be sure to send her the following info:

dutch_girl_scout (Stacie) has set up a group website for this cruise so that everyone can get to know each other before the cruise.

Info to send (feel free to add other things/make suggestions):
DIS name(s)
First and Last name of people in your group including ages of kids at time of cruise
Where you are from
If you have early or late seating
Stateroom number
E-mail address (if you don't want it listed please indicate)
Pre and post cruise plans
Family Picture
Brief description of occupations, families' intrests/activities/hobbies
For each child: picture, activities and/or interests, grade they will be in at cruise time, activities they are looking forward to on the cruise...
 
Thanks for the welcome and I have emailed my info over. What great questions she ask. :yay:
 
Woohoo - 256 days left!

I have to find some way to brighten my day - stuck at home for the third day with the flu :sick: and have an inspection at work tomorrow. I keep going over and over and over :sad2: in my mind a few loose ends that I can't do anything about here.

Oh can I feel your pain! :scared1: I just bought DD a new suit and must admit that I caved in and let her get a bikini. :scared: Now before you think I've lost my mind, I will add that she also bought swim shorts to wear over the bikini bottoms. If I ever catch her without those swim shorts on, the entire ensemble will be in the trash can and we will get her a wetsuit.

I still need to get a new suit. UGH! I did find swim shorts that are bermuda length, so I'm hoping that will lessen the number of frightened children at CC. I may bite the bullet and look for a suit tomorrow. Wish me luck.
 
Ok so I finally read though all 53 pages :surfweb: and I feel like I know you all already:grouphug: . I am wondering :confused3 what happen to the rest of your TR tjeagle? I got to page 9 which I believe was your birthday but then no more post. I know you have moved and that may have been the reason but maybe there is another post somewhere?????:confused:
I am waiting to get the web site info from dutch girl scout too so I can see some pictures. :artist:
So when it gets closer is there going to be a meet and greet for all us? I see there there was in the past:wave2: . I also remember reading about maybe doing a Micky tag or something close to that name? I would be interested in doing this.
I talk about the cruise everyday but now I have to be nice and not rub it into my DH and my oldest DD face.:rolleyes: ;) I keep seeing new things that I didn't know about the last cruise and turn to tell someone and then go oh never mind. They are now saying "what is it about the cruise again?":guilty: So it's really hard not having them come this time. I wish that they could, but with my DD's baby due too close the cruise and the rules of being 12 weeks old before cruise date this just isn't possible. Oh man it's gonna suck not being with them :sad1: but then again I bet I get over it real quick.:woohoo:
I am also saving my change. I am also trying to do the dolor a day thing too but I have a little bit saved as when I paid my last payment I realized the after making some cancellations I have now completely paid the amount for my youngest DD and I and some extra.:teacher: This will be great when I need to have the money for the tips and perhaps a spa? or Palo? or excursion? or on and on. :thumbsup2
You all use to be quite chatty but since I have joined you haven't said much. Come on out and play I promise I don't bite hard. :flower3:

Yeah...about that.....I think I started to focus on this cruise.....or got lazy?? I do have a goal to finish before this trip!
Welcome to the group!!

I still haven't gotten airfare...at this point the rates are so high I figure I'll just wait for Southwest to announce their Nov. rates (hopefully in April). I have to say the obsessive planner in me is having anxiety attacks about it!

I got your PM and I tried to reply but it kept telling me it couldn't find the post was too low:confused: ????? I then tried to PM without it being a reply and that didn't work either, or if it did it said it didn't and you know have like 8 msg. from me.:scared1:
I am now glad I went ahead and booked it in my package deal, not much of deal in price but at least I don't have to worry about it. ;) ::yes::
The first time we went to WDW in 96, back before ATM cards were debit cards. We had trouble with our bank and we had to wait until the day after we left to be able to use it again, bank was robbed the same day we were there and things were held up. Anyway when we got to WDW we only had a $100 cash on us. We thought we could just get money from an ATM the next day no biggie right? Not so fast, some how the card got dimagnitized and didn't work!! And there isn't a Nevada state bank in Fl. That was so hard on us but! We had gotten the food and fun package so we still had 2 meals a day to eat from and we had the fun part paid so we could bot on a boat ride or what ever. :thumbsup2 Thank goodness we go the package with it all included. :banana:
Oh and when we went on our first DCL in May 06 we did the 3 day and we had reserved the family suit w/veranda. :cool1: But a few days before hand we got a call from DCL asking if we would mind having a 1 bedroom suit but it's a handicap room? UM let me think YA!! :worship: We were on deck 8 just under the buffet and we had such an awesome veranda. Man that was so cool.:lovestruc This time we are in a cat 12 inside room. Such a big difference but we don't care, we weren't in the room much anyway. :cheer2:
