12/10/05 ~ Anyone else cruising.....??

[cristit14]

John, Thanks for the info. Here is kind of what I am thinking. We fly in on Wed evening. Thursday either go to MK or MGM. Do MVMCP on Friday night and during the day Friday maybe do a non-Disney attraction or just hang around the resort. We are thinking that we will rent a car when we get to Orlando and that way we will have it for getting around on Friday and then to get to port also. Then after the cruise we will fly home on Sat

I was talking to a friend of mine last night and found out she is going to WDW in a couple of weeks. I kept her on the phone for an hour telling her everything she needed to make sure she did. I also gave her the Dis address so she could get a few of her questions answered.

I can't wait for December

I tried to go to the website that you sent me I was taken to a blank page. Can you send me the site again? How do you put the trip ticker in your message? Thank you Diana

 

[lbgraves]

I just sent you a PM with it again. Go to www.tickerfactory.com & follow the directions. It leads you right thru it.

Cristi!!! You need to get in touch with LillyGator! We were just in chat & she thought that we were going to MVMCP Friday night. It sounds like they will just be hanging out during the day too. She was trying to meet up with others who would be there that night.

 

[Disney Di]

I went to the website it is very nice you did a good job.
I am looking forward to this cruise. This is the first time we arre going. My DH & I plan to renew our wedding vows. In 2002 on Christmas day I had a stroke & my DH became my hero! We had some life changes so we thought this would be a perfect time do our vows.

Thank you, Diana

 

[cristit14]

Lillygator~ I think we will be at MVMCP on the 9th. Which resort are you staying at? I haven't decided where we should stay yet.

 

[MrsMork]

WE'RE BACK!! We had a great three days at DL. We also spent a few hours on the beach one day and visited with family and old friends. Very good week. The lawn got REALLY high while we were gone (rain/sun/rain/sun in Oregon). We are going to have to get it mowed before we take off for camping this Friday for another week. We just simply do not have time for these jobs we have!

 

[cristit14]

Welcome back Angie! I am glad you had fun at DL. I haven't been there since I was about 2 years old. All I remember about it was meeting Pooh and "It's a Small World" (my dad said we must have gone on that ride about 30 times)

 

[MrsMork]

We love Small World! That is where DH and I met so it is a very special place to us. Probably before you were born.

 

[lbgraves]

I am glad that we only allow one trip thru IASW each visit to MK. I don't think that I could handle too much more.

 

[Jhalkias]

Oh Oh Lisa,

Only one trip through IASW . . . you're in trouble with our Miss Sophia at MK! That is Sophia's favorite ride, and we ride it at least 5-6 times!


John

Sophia wanted me to add the cheerleader as she saw me typing!

 

[lbgraves]

LOL! We never have time to do anything that many times. Well, DS figured out how to do BTMR while DD & I waited to meet Ariel but been there done that now. WAY too long for an autograph IMO. We will have to compare rides/shows to do & come up with a game plan. I know that I might take DD some where while the rest of you do the triple mountain so she isn't waiting around so long. We can always grab the next FP for the group. We got good at that on this last trip.

 

[lbgraves]

I've finished one thing on my to do list before the cruise!!!!

I just finished the photo books from our last cruise & trip to WDW. LOL! Now I can go thru & pick out the ones that I want to order for the scrapbooks. I want to get caught up before we leave for this cruise.

 

[lillygator]

Hi all!!
Can you believe it is almost July???? My baby is getting her 4 month shots tomorrow!!


Hope everyone is doing well...I asked DH tonight about staying before or after our cruise - he says "both" - I said honey that would be 11 or 12 days off....he responds with - oh I thought we were going on a 4 nighter this time???? HELLO??? I KNEW he never listened to me!!!
So I said - look with this AP best rate program I have to book and keep it as it is non refundable..he said sure - I am assuming he is not listening again...so within the next few days I am booking WL after the cruise but hope to add something before!!!

 

[lbgraves]

ROFL!!! Sounds familiar some of the time. Good luck tomorrow with the doctor visit.

 

[TinkerBellMom]

Just want to say a quick hello and introduce myself.

We have booked 12/10/05 and can't wait to be back on the Magic again. My DD12 and I will be sailing for our 7th Dis cruise. Her Aunt and family DD14 will be sailing for the first time. We love the Dis board friends we meet on line first. We just got back from the 14 day Panama Canal Western. The Dis board friends I made are wonderful. They made the trip extra special.

Hope to meet you soon!

My family is cruising on the Christmas cruise too. We are a pretty large group of 9. I have 3 girls ages 18 and twins 7. My eldest daughter is bringing a girlfriend, also 18. My son, 17 is bringing is girlfriend and my Mom is coming as well. We have cruised on this ship in March and last summer as well. Any one else have older teens cruising?

[cristit14]

Welcome Tinkerbellmom and Laurie! It is nice to see our group growing even bigger! I don't think we have any older teens so far. Most kids seem to be in the 5-7 age group. My DS is 7 and my DD will be 10 when we cruise. She has been hoping to meet with someone on the boards before we go.

Lilygator~Men... they never listen do they... Do you think you will be at MVMCP on the 9th? I think we want to go then.

 

[lbgraves]

Welcome to the group!!! Here's the info on the website that I am updating for all the DISers cruising with us. There is one teen in the group waiting to hear from others cruising with us. Tinkerbellsmom, I think that DisneyDi sent me some info for you but there is some info missing.

This is for the DISers who are posting to this thread. Please have an adult in your group send the following & I will add it to the site & send you the link.

Family name:
Individual names & the ages of the children cruising with you:
Celebration:
Stateroom:

A short note with where you work & what activities you like to do.

Please send a picture of your family to be included.

For those with children, please send an individual picture to be put on the DIS Kids page by age group so that the kids can get to know each other a little better. Let the kids tell the others their age, grade in school, favorite thing to eat on the ship, favorite Disney character, & their favorite activity on the ship.

My email is mandlgraves@cox.net

 

[lbgraves]

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!! I just got notice that Snapfish had our pics online. They are the 35 mm shots from our trip. The all turned out so good! The ones of Beauty & the Beast are so clear. I am happy now! The scrapbook will end up with some pictures after all.

How is everyone doing? Today it is like an oven outside but there will be storms this afternoon. I finished cleaning the carpets yesterday so I will be taking it easy with the kids today. They are bouncing off the walls waiting to see John's DD this weekend. This will be a good chance for me to try out that new camera.

 

[cristit14]

Hey guys, question for everyone. I am thinking about getting the Passporter for the cruise. Which version should I get? Do you think I should get the Deluxe edition or just the regular? TIA
