For those with green Mickey heads, I spent about 1/2 hour on Saturday night cutting out the 30 or so that I had picked up.

I think they are going to work wonderfully!

Go ahead and send me yours. I will probably have time to get them done along the way since I have such an underful social life. (Having a husband in the country club industry doesn't make for a lot of weekend dates!)

My DH decided this week that we could either go down on Thursday and spend Friday in the parks, or not come home until Sunday so we can spent Saturday in the parks!!! Yea

Of course when I suggested this two weeks ago, there was no way, now that it is his idea, it is feasible.

Gotta go bike riding with the four year old. It was 84 today (a far cry from last Monday's 35 degrees).

 

[imgoingtodisney]

so where are you staying Fri night? Radisson mini-meet?

We're landing at the Orlando airport about 10am Fri and leaving the following Sat at 7pm

 

[imgoingtodisney]

good morning - few questions for everyone

Is anyone's room near Deck 6 aft? for our cruise that wasnt there was a DIS family who would have had 1 of the secret portholes diagonally across from ours

Who's celebrating what/when? Dave maybe you can please keep a running list in your newsletter? just a suggestion

and Dave - when will the next newsletter appear?

 

[disneyeveryyear]

I saw that a few more of you are bring DM or DMIL. Does she plan to participate in all of the activities with your, or does she have some things planned on her own?

My DM is going with us (will be 64 at the time). We are thinking about Captain Marvin's to go to see the Stingrays. I am not real sure she would be interested in doing this, but I am also not sure she wants to sit around alone on the ship. I am sure she wouldn't go on shore alone. (Not the adventurous type.) Especially since this will be her first trip since dad died.

Just wondering if any of you are facing same kind of dilemmas.

Barb - you were up early this morning. I do well to get up in time to shower, get dressed and get son to bus. There is no way I can get online until I get to work (LOL). No, we are not on deck 6, we are down in the hold on Deck 2. (But I am just thrilled that DH freed up enough money to get a porthole woohoo!!)

Gotta go!

David, Anxiously awaiting next installment of newsletter!

 

[disneyeveryyear]

I got some green Mickey heads in the mail yesterday. I will get out my trusty scissors and start trimming away!

 

[alisbarc]

Hello All,
The next edition of the newsletter will be in your Easter basket tomorrow am. Gonna send it out late, right after we hide the eggs and put out basket for the kids.

My MIL is doing about half the stuff with us. She is not much of the adventuresome sort. Wants to spend most of the time lounging around the ship. The girls (MIL, DW, DD) are going to do Key West while I hang out with my 3 sons. MIL has agreed to watch the 2 little ones (or at least stay on board while they are in the kids club) while DW, DD13, DS10 do Cpt Marvin. And, we have talked her into playing Mini Golf with us in Cozumel.

I will cut our and send my green Mickey heads sometime this week. Looks like we will have a bunch.

Happy Easter everyone

 

[disneyeveryyear]

David,

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I am so awaiting my Easter present. I am not expecting anything but cards this year, so I will be thrilled to get a present from you.

Waiting with anticipation. By the way, it is 11:45 your time. How late are you staying up?

 

[imgoingtodisney]

Good job on the newsletter David. Wow! 77 people so far, great job keeping the list.
Jon hasnt woken up yet although Dave & I have both been up for almost 2hrs now. He'll be getting disney dollars, disposable camera and Mickey pez along with the normal Easter treats. DH has 10 disney dollars inside his card. Started with the Disney dollars for both DS & DH 2yrs ago when we were planning our Oct 01 vaca and have continued for every birthday, valentine's day, easter, report card, fathers's day, etc.

gotta run - I hear Jonathan asking if he can come downstairs - lol

 

[alisbarc]

Good Morning and Happy Easter all,

The kids have found thier baskets and are now complaining about tummy aches (could be that they have already eaten about a pound of candy).

Alison found her chocolate bunny. I did also get her a very nice Pooh & Piglet spring denim jacket. House flowery things all embroidered on it with Pooh & Piglet sitting in the flowers. She says the Easter Bunny is a really nice guy. Ha! I wonder what Bob got Bev!

Ok, Next newsletter will be coming out on June 1st.

ttfn

[disneyeveryyear]

David,

Ha! Ha! For Easter I get to go on a Dolphin Encounter in Cozumel on November 12th.

I read your newsletter out loud to the family today. Bob got a big kick out of it. He asked when I told you that he was the world's greatest husband. I told him that you came up with it yourself.

But, for your information, yes he does clean house and do the laundry (all but folding) and dishes, so I guess he does qualify for husband of the year (but don't tell him I said so). But I am the one who drives the kids to the bus and daycare.

I am here at mom's house and she says hello and appreciates being added to the newsletter mailing list. She just wanted to know how you got her e-mail address. I fessed up.

Well I gotta go we are going out to dinner for Easter. Bob had 250+ people for brunch, so he just wanted to go out for dinner. I said, oh okay!

Beverly,

We booked the Dolphins for 3:30 via Dolphin Discovery.
What time are you going?

 

[disneyeveryyear]

We are going to book the 10:30 a.m. through DCL. I would have booked it myself, but Dolphin Discovery does not book the Dolphin Encounter, only the Dolphin Swim (which I would have preferred, but with 4 year old and DM, it wasn't feasible). So we decided to just book through DCL.

If you don't have to go until 3:30 you should be able to make the minigolf. I am hoping that we are done in time to run back and catch the golf tournament. It sounds like a lot of fun. I think we may just pack a room service picnic and try to fit them both in that day.

 

[disneyeveryyear]

I just looked at my trip counter and it is finally below 200!!! I noticed the other threads that were doing the single digit dance and the double digit dance. What do we call this? The less than 200 dance?

Just an observation!

 

[nghtangl01]

Just wanted to bump us up!!

And wish everyone a Belated Happy Easter!! It has been very hectic here lately. We are going on a mini cruise (Dinner and dancing only) this Saturday night to celebrate our 2 year anniversary.

The days are counting down which is cool, but stressful when I haven't even started dress shopping!!

 

[gijuju]

The newsletter is great! I love knowing the ages of all of the kids. My kids are excited to know there will be kids their ages. Thanks.

My Mom, sister and I just got back from Lost Wages, I mean Las Vegas. Don't worry I still have my Disney money!

Well, it is a past 3a.m. and I have to go to work in five hours. I just had to check the boards. I can't believe we're under 200 days. Yeah!

Thanks for all of your work Dave.

 

[disneyeveryyear]

Hi guys!

Just wanted to drop a note on this thread in case you haven't checked the other lately.

Mousesavers.com has listed a code "BBO" which gives you $100 onboard credit per stateroom.

My TA called and it worked for me.

Barb, I don't think it's available if you paid with points, sorry!

It is cloudy and cool today. I just keep thinking about the cruise. Now that I have dave's wallpaper on all my computers it helps.

I hope everyone had a great Easter.

 

[disneyeveryyear]

I'm doing a little bump so everyone can find the threat over the weekend!

 

[imgoingtodisney]

hey Bev - do you mean threat or thread? I was wondering who was threatening who for what? lol
