12/16/06 10-day holiday cruise Part 2

[DCLgodess]

As for me, as a native Pittsburgher.

you must like the fact that the Steelers are ranked #1 in the league

 

[dee47]

Yes, I actually did drop off the face of the earth, why do you ask?

Kat, I owe you a PM. Angela, I owe you a phone call. Someone owes me a normal life, I think, but that's a whole different topic

I spent a week at WDW for Keith's B-day, and work has been hell before and after (I actually had to work at the hotel, when Keith fell asleep at night...Literally a "working vacation"!)

We always dress up for Pirate Night!

I plan on trying to snag the AM Brig Unicorn. I'd like to do Atlantis and Paradise Point in St. Thomas. I'm thinking of trying Eli's Eco-Tour in Antigua. Of course, I went to the Pineapple resort's web site and now I'm VERY tempted. Magiroux, can you post more info when you have it??? Maybe we can share a cab -- power in #s and all

John, you have a 10 y/o son? So do I. Keith would be happy to hear that there's another boy his age among the DISers.

I want bracelets, shirts, and anything else we might be doing

I forget -- anyone doing the World pre-cruise? Or post-cruise? We'll be there 12/10-16 and 26-28. MVMCP on the 14th, though I may try to get tix to the shuttle launch. It's scheduled for the 14th, but when does THAT ever happen on schedule?

SUE, are you still around????

the chances of a Shuttle going off on time in the winter is about 100:1. Ice is a killer...literally

 

[KSDTink]

ok. what does SWMBO mean?? Never seen that one before!!!!!

 

[KSDTink]

Angela, on Key West I think I am going to do a couple of things on my own (probably with DD) rather than trough DCL. I want to go to the Pirate Soul Museum, I'd like to see the Light House, the Maritime Treasure Museum, and of course some shopping. There is a store that sells hot pepper stuff and a wonderful winery, both of which we went to last time we were on Key West.

 

[Fantasia Sam]

Urghh Kat, Angela and others you are all so much more organised than me

My dilemma is that my DH (Paul) is not good with water, he doesn't swim and won't even go in for a paddle LOL hi swear he has a phobia which makes it even more laughable to me that he loves to cruise and has done for years. Anyway the other side of the coin and I know this is a ::shock:: but I really dislike beaches. I force myself to get off the ship at CC, I know it's lovely but I just have a huge aversion to sand. So this means that I am finding it hard to decide what to do for excursions.

Key West - hmmm we have done the tours before so we'll prolly just walk around, maybe visit Hemmingway's house this time

St Maarten - I just don't really like it all that much, so we'll prolly stay on ship that day and make use of the quiet time and have the adult pool all to myself

St Thomas - SHOPPING and maybe a little tour of the island, is there one of those, any suggestions?

Antigua - No Clue

St Lucia - some of the excursions seem so long because you're travelling for nearly an hour and a half just to get somewhere, any suggestions?

BTW what's the Flying Monkeys?

Also Dee we shall be in WDW before our cruise - actually I get in before Paul to have some time with my friends, so I arrive the 5th December Paul doesn't arrive until the 13th We are doing MVMCP on the 14th also Paul has never done MVMCP so I'm excited to be going with him

I shall also be in WDW for 10 days towards the end of October and am doing MNSSHP twice!

I have to say I am soooo glad it is Friday

 

[DCLgodess]

i agree! i have one more class left...but its a computer class with some really awesome guys so its all good....

 

[wdwgoose]

THATS IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Married_A_Disney_Nut]

Just wanted to chime in and say that we are also going on the X-mas cruise with all of you.

We have a one and a half week prior to the cruise at Disney (OKW) and then another week at SSR after the cruise.

We are very excited. Just paid for the remainder of the balance today - does that mean I can now book stuff??

I have a dd age 8, dd age 4, dh and myself

Thanks

 

[dee47]

Hey, Married A D_N welcome!

We'll be at SSR for 2 days after the cruise before flying home! Maybe we can meet again. I have a DS 10.

If you're paid off and you've cruised DCL before you can start booking shore excursions / Palo / Spa at midnight PST / 3AM EST 9/17. Yes, some of us will actually be up and booking at the stroke of 12 / 3 this Sunday. If this is your 1st DCL cruise, you have to wait till you're 75 days out. Unless you're in Cat 1-3, in which case you're already in the booking window. Also, if you're in Cat 1-3, the DIS boarding party is in your suite

We have some plans already made, join us! We're (mostly) harmless, except for Jen. She has firearms, but she promised not to use them unless more people cancel the cruise

i have a website for this cruise ( http://www.estel-miire.org/cruiselist ), with a list of all the DISers and stuff that is useful....

So i've been chosen to stay up and make the ressies online at 3 am. YAY! lol....

You can book only if you are a CC member (you can call DCL and get the number if you are a returning guest)

 

[HAPPY-AT-DISNEY]

booked and excited!!

 

[karaeric]

Well hello again all...popping in to say hi and see who all is still cruising with us. I've not been on the boards here for at least 6-8 months, so I'm totally out of touch with this cruise! I can't believe it because I'm usually an uber-planner that has everything mapped out months in advance.

Anywho, looks like we'll be booking at midnight with the rest of you for excursions, spa, etc. Do we know when formal and semi-formal nights are yet? I always like to eat at Palo on a formal or semi formal night so we only have to dress up a few times. DH likes to wear his tux, but he has limits!

Cheers all!
Kara

 

[karaeric]

booked and excited!!

And welcome to you Happy At Disney! Who all do you have cruising in your party?

For us, it's DH and I. This will be my 5th and DH's 4th cruise.

Cheers, Kara

So...I type out this really long post yesterday afternoon (While the kids are napping) and get to the last sentence and press some button (in error) in poof............my entire post is gone . Don't know where, it's just disappeared. Then the kids woke up, and that's the end of "me" time.

Have I mentioned how much I hate my new computer

I'll try it again.............

 

[magiroux]

OK, so I am the stupidest person on the DIS.......I just did the same thing AGAIN Spent ten minutes typing and wiped it all out.....Where is the little sucker disappearing to.

Got to get ready for Julia's soccer game...I'll try again later.
