11/8/03 Western Cruise roll call.... "looking for info from DISers"

[disneyeveryyear]

We could have all kinds of wines available. They make some nice ones here in Illinois and close by in Missouri.

I'm willing to investigate to find the best ones .

For those who are planning to attend the Captain Marvin's 1/2 day tour of Stingray City as a group:

I have e-mailed with Ruth at Captain Marvin's about the availability of an underwater videographer to come with us and make a tape that would then be for sale.

Is anyone else interested in purchasing one of these? From what I understand if you commit in advance to buying, they make a special effort to make sure your family is featured on tape.

Not sure of cost, still waiting to hear back from video peope, just wondering if it would be well received.

I know we would buy at least 1 maybe 2 if grandma buys her own.

What do you think?

 

[Fay Ray]

Great idea! Count us in!

Just thought I would bump us up to page one. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

I got to be a little princess all weekend, it is great to celebrate your birthday all weekend long. (Official day is the 23rd).

Cannot wait until we set sail.

Have a Happy Birthday tomorrow

Counting by weeks, we are now in the teens!

 

[disneyeveryyear]

sorry to have missed your birthday . Hope you had a great weekend.

Bumping back to the top so we don't get lost.

What's everyone doing for Independance Day? We're headed to Boston to see some sights, the fireworks, and a college friend and family with a condo on Cape Cod......

I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

Linda accidently logged in as Brian!

taking DS July 3-6 to spend 3 nights up in the White Mtns, NH - staying at Indian Head in Lincoln
thinking of day trips to Loon Mtn tramway, Lost River and Flume Gorge

Have a Happy 4th everyone

Since DH is a country club manager, we will once again spend the day at the Club (located in our backyard).

Pool games, snow cones, popcorn, face painting, clown, etc. followed by BBQ for dinner.

Will be inviting mom to join us.

We will be at home all weekend because I am sure Club will be busy and DH will not be willing to leave until Sunday evening. We'll probably go out to dinner, just to get him away from place (downside of living on grounds, he never gets away from his job).

Hi All, I just joined your group, and found tons of you on the 11/8 cruise. My goodness, I think we'll be over running the ship!!!
DH and I were originally from Ct. ( both born and raised in New Milford) but retired to Fl. a year ago. This will be our first cruise!!
We're a Cat. 6 with Veranda--Rm. 6594.
We just booked a few weeks ago, and can't imagine those of you who booked months ago. How can you stand the wait???
I'm looking for our very first newsletter on the Fourth--which happens to be my birthday!! Have fun keeping, "The Dream, Alive!!" Diane

I'm headed to Ft Lauderdale (2 hr drive) on 7/4 for a day of outlet shopping at Sawgrass Mills. They've got a Character Premiere store there. I'll be meeting a couple of friends who live over there, and taking them out to lunch at Cheesecake Factory for their birthdays.

Fireworks aren't something I care about - I've seen so many between wdw and our minor league baseball games, they're no longer something I bother with. There will be huge fireworks displays after the games on 7/3 & 7/5, but I'll most likely leave before they begin!

 

[imgoingtodisney]

Diane - glad you found us - email David and he can send you the previous newsletters

Have a Happy Birthday!!

 

[disneyeveryyear]

Diane,

Welcome to the "crowd".

When you get a minute drop some information to David so he can let us know about you in our next newletter.

Happy weekend everyone!

 

[imgoingtodisney]

Just saw the Magic go past twopalms website so we are now counting 18wks

 

[cjp/dvc]

Welcome Diane!
From your post you and DH are about the same generation as Joe and I although we are still working Yankees in NJ looking forward to retirement in Fla in the not so distant future...
We are also on deck 6 in 6644 and this will be my 4th but DH's 3rd Magic Cruise (one girls only trip!)... we did this identical Western trip a year ago for our 30th Anniversary and talked about is so much that our son and his significant other convinced us to join them on the trip again this year. We look forward to meeting you to share your experiences retiring to Fla! Will gladly trade advice for cruise for advice for Florida retirement...
How's that for bartering????

Catching up on all the threads....and would definitely enjoy a wine tasting! Also from upstate NY...but our closest winery features "apple" wines....and frankly, they are just not as good, but I have a bottle I could bring if anyone is interested. I prefer the grape variety myself. And, for those beer drinkers among us - we have a LOT of micro brews around us - and some of those DO deserve a tasting!

 

[3MinnieMom]

Beer tasting....Wine tasting

Count us in for both!!! (My DH prefers beer over wine, and he especially likes to try the micro brews)

 

[acrucifer]

now your speaking my language with the micro brew beer tasting idea. I have sampled micro brews from all of our wonderful 50 states and I know there are many I have yet to get to. as a native new yawkah, from upstate, I attest to the fact that we have some excellent micros. will bring something special for this soiree from the empire state!

 

[disneyeveryyear]

I think we could bring either local wines or local micro brews.

That might make everyone happy. Of course, then we'll have to bring something salty to go with the beer.

Does that include your local chips? Those might be hard to transport.
