12/01/07 Western December 1, 2007 - Let's get the party started!

[shelwoj]

We will be joining all of you on this one. We rebooked onboard this week and can't wait til next year! We aren't officially booked for this date because we just grabbed a date out of the hat and then sat down and really looked. We decided this one would fit us best. We are hoping to get the same room we had on this cruise so that it feels like going home! This trip will be myself (40), DH (42) and DS (14) our other DS (19) has decided that cruising is not his thing (ages are at time of cruising). I have to go back and read this thread as soon as I get a minute. We just got home last night from our double dip so the real world is calling!

Howdy All! We moved our ressie from Nov 07 Eastern and are joining you! I'll try to catch up on all the posts. We even got the same rooms as this year!

So far it will be me 35, DH Jeff 49 (turning 50 on 12/4), DDIL Sheryl 28 and DSIL Mike 39. After kind of a rough trip this year, ressies for DD Heather 12 and DD Haleigh 8 are on hold...we'll see....

Welcome to the group Kris & Shelly!

Hi all!

Shelwoj's DH here. Just wanted to drop a quick note to say hi.

The thread for the 11/11/06 Double Dip prepared us well for our first cruise, plus we got to know some great folks. Looking forward to chatting with you guys over the next year, and eventually getting to meet you all on board the magic.

Hey Lisa--have a MAGICAL trip!!!! Let us know all about it when you get home. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
Approaching less than one year to go!!!

I just found out that I can use Disney gift cards to pay on our cruise through Dreams unlimited. You don't know how happy that makes me. Our band boosters use a program for fund raising that you buy gift cards and a percentage gets donated to your students band fees. The Disney card donates 7%. Just buying them (a lot of them!) for this cruise will almost pay off his fees for one year!

When I told Dave he said it was almost like getting another 7% off the cruise!

That's great Shelly! I wish we had something like that here!

Hey Dave! In all honesty I can't say I can put a face with your name (or Shelly's) but I was a little preoccupied with plans. Were you guys at the DISmeet? Shelly said you guys were in Diversions when me and the bridesmaids cut through on our way to Sessions but I didn't even look. We'll have to make sure we get together this trip!

Here's a link to our pictures, maybe you saw us somewhere!

365 days from now we will all be getting up and getting ready to board the Magic.

Hmmmm . . .

Looks like we have a bit of a Buckeye contingent growing here . . .

One WEEK from tonight, we will have our last sleep before boarding the Magic!

Wooooohoooooo!

Oh Shelly...those are absolutely fantastic! It's making me "homesick"...let the countdown begin!! You had some way cooler towel animals than I did! Ours were cute but yours were great!

Dave looks familiar but I can't tell you if it's because I saw him or maybe some photos of him in Shutters....

Thanks for sharing! I'll see if I can figure out how to upload mine and share them too! Of course, with the wedding we have like 570 of them...I'll have to weed it down!

You know...you'll have to keep us posted on your 2008 plans...it's going to seem strange not having you aboard with us this time....

Hmmm...and it is Jeff's 50th B-Day, too.
I wonder what he will eat ?

Thinking about early October 2008 - be fun to see what DCL has in store for us

We weeded ours down too for posting on the web. With the underwater pics, we took over 500!

okay...I don't feel so bad. I still have the underwater to get developed and I had 576 already done....

We're going to buy an underwater housing for our digital for next year. Canon sells one for our camera that's good down to 130 feet, for about $160.

It's pretty quiet around here, so I figured I'd post some of my favorite pics from our 11/11/06 Double Dip cruise to get everybody's blood stirring.
