[DCLgodess]

the economy is just poopy period....no matter what business you are in...except maybe funeral homes...

 

[karylrocks]

ok everybody,

its looking like we won't be getting to go. We aren't backing out yet, we will wait till the cut off date but the forcast isn't good.

just thought I should let you all know.

D

Uh oh, remember what Jen said....

Angela - You need to make ressies at midnight the night of Oct. 1. I had it on my calendar (now crossed off ) We used to go to Wapato Point at Lake Chelan during spring break when we had a timeshare; been quite a while since we were there. DD is heading up today to the Gorge Amphitheatre for Dave Matthews (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). She is joining a big group of people she has met online (who ever heard of such a thing?!); they have 22 campsites reserved at Vantage.

Just one more week for me to get ready for my revised cruise date of 9/7! There are about 75 cabins of DISer's on that cruise! Wine tasting in the Roy and a few other meets scheduled.

Well we lost another kitty last night. Except this time we know what happened - she was attacked by coyotes and died on the way to the hospital. I suspect that is what happened to my cat that I lost in April. This one was DD's cat; she had just moved out last week and was planning to pick up her two cats on Monday. This is so hard for me - NO MORE PETS! I just can't handle it.

Well just wanted to pop in and say hi.

Next Christmas woman- you and me- livin' it up SoCal style. Hey we'll hit DL

YEAH, BABY (she says in best Austin Powers impersonation)

 

[magiroux]

Hi Carol

Sorry about your kitty. It just so happens there was an article in our local paper recently about how our coyote population is exploding.

Enjoy your cruise. Sounds like you are in good company.

Awww, gaRry....Ya know we love ya

But, really Sweetie....I think you have enough on your plate to worry about right now

 

[PirateCutie05]

I'm gonna try for Palo Dinner, Palo Brunch & The Brig Unicorn Excursion in St Lucia. DCL's site looks a little complicated....like, I could easily loose my way around it at 3in the morning . That's why I am playing around with it now. And, good thing, cause I noticed I didn't have my Castaway Club Number in my profile.

Haha actually my question was is the 17th when you sign up for both...cause for some reason I thought it was a loong way off! But thanks for letting me know! I'll have to make sure to sign up then. I stole the confirmation from my dad and then I left it at home!

 

[DCLgodess]

Uh oh, remember what Jen said....

*looks fierce* yes remember!

Hi Everyone

My name is Sam and my hubby and I will be sailing on this cruise.

I'd love to be able to tell you that I've read all 500 odd pages of this thread but I'd be lying - but it looks like we'll be joining some fun DISers on this fabulous cruise

So what can I do to get up to speed on this Fabarooney Holiday cruise?

I have my diary set for online bookings - lucky for me it fits in with my time zone

I'm just getting so super excited about this

 

[KSDTink]

Hi Sam! Welcome to our group!

Be sure to go to contact Jen to get yourself added to our list. She is DCLgodess and she has a site with all kinds of info for our cruise. If you send her your names, dining time, room number, etc she can add you to the list on her site and we can add you to stuff.

Also if you let me know your preference for a stocking (I think at this point I have Hercules, 101 Dalmations, Dumbo and the 7 Dwarves left) you will get a stocking with your DIS name on it to hang on the fish outside your door. This is something a couple of us on the thread are doing for the group.

We are trying to plan some group activities but haven't gotten very far yet (ornament exchange, DIS tag, etc). There are a number of us going on the morning Brig Unicorn excursion on St. Lucia and there are a number of people going on scuba excursions if you are into that.

Anyway, that is an intro to what we have going on so welcome to our group!!

 

[magiroux]

Welcome Aboard, Sam (& hubby)

Our cruising party is myself (Mary Ann), DH (Jim) & DD-10 (Julia)

Have you cruised DCL before?

If you are late seating and wished to be linked with the DIS group, I am organizing that. Also, I am ordering silicon bracelets....we are going with Neon Green (the closest color to DIS green) with Forest Green Debossing.

Welcome!!! It's good to have another DISer aboard...we seem to be losing people... I hope we all can answer any of your questions...this will be my 4th Disney Cruise (I'm leaving for my 3rd one on Sunday!!! ).

 

[Fantasia Sam]

Hi Kat, Mary Ann and Heidi and thanks for the welcome

Yeah Paul (DH) and I have cruised Disney a few times - 3 day Magic (Paul did this before he met me), 4 day Wonder (2003), 7-night Eastern twice (once for our honeymoon and a 7 night Western for our 1st Anniversary.

We live in the UK so we're also booked on an 11-nighter Med next year.

We booked this Holiday cruise an eternity ago and it's felt like it was never going to get here and now we're only days away from being able to book dining and excursions which is so much fun.

OMG Kat - the stockings sound adorable Dumbo sounds wonderful.

I really need to scope out the excursions because Paul and I are not big beach people and sadly Paul doesn't swim so this rules out a lot for us - although I love boat trips I just wouldn't want Paul to be board, you know?

Anyway I'm excited to have found this thread

 

[DCLgodess]

greetings from the webmistress (for the site for this cruise anyway)! I'm Jen and i'm 18. Joining me will be my mom lori, step-dad dave, and sister (15) sam. this will be our 5th disney cruise, the last one being the 10 day of '04. I can answer alot of questions if you have any. Just check out the site for this cruise @

http://www.estel-miire.org/cruiselist

enjoy and Welcome aboard.

 

[Fantasia Sam]

Wow the website looks great Jen - did you do that all yourself? Wowser!! I'll email you my details.

I guess what I was most interested in at the moment are the excursions and the night of formal night etc. I hate going to Palo on Formal night as I love to dress for that place anyway and being in one of the other restaurants on that night is so fun to see everyone dressed up at.

If you go to the DCL site they have most of the excursions listed (though not the times yet). We got our pre-cruise kit but it only has St. Maarten, St. Thomas/St. John and Castaway Cay excursions. Nothing listed for Key West, St. Lucia or Antigua. Additionally, if you go to the Onboard section of Jen's site and choose Navigators you can see the Navigators from the last 10 day holiday cruise. We don't know for sure what night the formal night will be but if they do them on the same island or sea days as the last time it would probably be the first sea day (2nd day of the cruise or December 18) and the day we are in Antigua (December 22). At least those are the two days they did formal nights the last time and that is all we really have to go by at this time.

I will put the Dumbo stocking aside for you.

My DD(10) is also named Sam! Looks like there are at least three female Sam's of varying ages in the group! The rest of my family is myself and DH Dave.

Where in the UK are you from? Looking forward to meeting you!

yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me....... just got back from number 7 ladies!!!!!!! And my Black Pearl toy ship arrived today, I am so happy!!! That is the last toy for my office, I think!!!!

yes i did. Thank you

 

[KSDTink]

Sam, if you look at Jen's page on the Cruise portion where the DISers are listed and you wonder what the last column is about, that is our island list . The ladies have been playing this game. It is a list of five guys who you'd choose to be stranded on a deserted island with. You cannot have people that are on someone else's island and you can choose one fictional character (hence my list including Jack Sparrow). So if you want to inlcude those on your listing you can let Jen know that too. Just thought I'd let you know about that. It is just a bit of silliness that the ladies have been indulging in

 

[DCLgodess]

it helps us pass the time...and


I'm going to send the list to Disney so they can provide those people for us if we should crash into and iceberg

 

[KSDTink]

oooh goody! Though I doubt icebergs are likely in the Caribbean!
