12/16/06 10-day holiday cruise Part 4

[dee47]

Well school here doesn't start until 9/4, and I'm off to my favorite place on Earth with Keith next Tues. Yup, 11 days at WDW, thank you DVC!!!!!!!!

We found out one of Keith's friends from TKD school is going to be there for some of these days, so hopefully we can get the boys together. That should be fun!

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!

Kat, how was DL? Hope you had a blast!

 

[KSDTink]

Hi all! Yup, had a great time at DL! Got to ride POTC and Haunted Mansion twice. Love the changes to POTC!!!!!! Got huge blisters on my feet, no more crocs for things like the parks for me . Except for the blisters my feet didn't hurt at all which I can't say for tennis shoes!

Sam starts school today, half day only though. I gotta go wake her in a few minutes. She wasn't happy to have to go to bed early last night .

[QUOTE="Got Disney";20276133]Congrats to you and your daughter What is the new baby girls name?

Hi everyone...what is everyone been up to? School starts here in 2 days and so it also begins for me. Have been volunteering the last 2 weeks already.

Morgan started 2 weeks ago. By the way she has been doing great

See ya all soon I hope.....[/QUOTE]

Hi everyone!

Joanie..congrats on the new GD!! And I love the name Nicole!

Dee...have fun at "the World."

Kat, glad you had a good trip. Besides Disneyland, what was your favorite part?

Robin, Kat, we're right there with the back to school club. Winding down to the end of that first week. They go back with a vengeance here! They start full days, Monday Morning, and get right to it! By today the adrenaline had worn off and everyone seemed to have trouble getting up.

Kevin is now in fifth, and his class rules the elementary school! This should be a good year for him, other than if I remember right the middle school attitude really gets going toward the end of this year.

Brian is a freshman and Patrick a Junior in high school. I think this could be a rough year with both. Patrick is taking very difficult classes and he knows Junior year is what colleges will see. I see him applying the pressure to himself right now! Brian has the opposite problem, doesn't want pressure, way too worried about friends. I'll be needing a lot of wine, I'm sure!

Hi everyone

Is anyone still out there???? miss chatting with you all. so how is everyone? We are all fine here and moving along. We will be going to DL for 4 days over New Years...yes a very crowded time!!! But we though it might be fun.

Have any of you gone over NYE before?

am on another thread for my cruise in July but the people on there so far are really boaring! all they do is run and are friends and have been on other cruises together before. they are nice just dont talk about much except the marathons they run and no kids....

Hope it will pick up. the Thread that i started for the other cruise is better and has younger posters with kids,,,but I wont be on that cruise

Well otherwise they are very nice people. so any of you want to hop on board with me

Hope your all well and look forward to hearing from you!

Don't know where everyone went....

Yes, we do WDW a lot at New Years....crazy busy, but we always go back!

And I'll bet the fun people just will come to your cruise thread later....like we did here!

Well....most of them are brief!

Yep, I still chat with the WPASADI thread people every day...not much is going on there...although there are hints that they are going to do the second chance thing. I just like some of the people I "met."

One of the girls just got back from MY high school graduation...we graduated from high school in the same town in the same year... (The two high schools had a combined reunion.) Small world, huh? Then there's the fact that we have betrothed our 14 year olds... (She doesn't know what she's getting into-but I've tried to warn her!)

Then I've been doing some stuff on the DVC boards figuring out how to use some points for a reservation I had to cancel...

And we've been looking into possibly an ABD next year before people and money start heading to college so I've been posting there. You know, the numbers just add up....

And a good amount of that 5000 posts came here!

Yes it is a small world, did you know her before the DIS?

What is ABD? So where are you thinking of going? You should hit the DCL again and sail with us! will you be doing the new ships when they come out?

when the new ships come out we will be on them. We may try a different cruise line again in between since the kids are getting older or just go to Hawaii. I sure love to cruise though. Billie wants to go to Hawaii so that is what we will most likely do.

I hang out mostly in the community board. Like you i have met many people there that I like also. I do stroll around the other boards but not over your way that often. there were some nice people over there.

Wonder if anyone is going to pop in her again? are we the sole survivors? Think we are the only regular DIS goers out of this bunch. I am DISing everyday, how about you?

Michael has been out of school for 2 days with some kind of bug. By the way his homework is getting better Having a child not want to do there HW and a mother who is not just school obsessed but menopausel is a very poor combination ...poor Michael....and anyone else in my family who gets in my way they love me though

Well off I go to DIS....have a blessed day and have fun DISing

 

[3pirates]

You know, I TRIED to post here earlier...then it went away and didn't post!

I usually get on every day at least to check in...in fact the DIS is usually just minimized.

Glad homework is going better with Michael. The tutor thing is working for Patrick, he helps him understand stuff that his teacher for Advanced Algebra and Trig just isn't getting through.

And I tell my teenagers that my hormones can match theirs any day!

ABD is Adventures by Disney. We're thinking about an overseas trip, and for us a guided thing seems to be the way to go. Might as well look into the Disney one! The prices start out seeming extremely high, but when you figure that all of your activities, many of your meals, many of your tips and fees are all included, it doesn't come out quite as badly. Plus, you don't have to figure out how to get to all of the places. And one thing I know is that when you go somewhere that you want to see a lot, you don't want to waste any time!

I'm sure there will be some cruises again in our future, but DH doesn't want to do a "shakedown cruise" on the new ships. He'll wait until they work through their "issues."

And the girl who went to high school right by me? We never met. She just mentioned her hometown in a post and we got to comparing stories...we even knew some of the same people!

And I think we can officially be considered the "winners" here. Everyone else does seem to have left. The least they could have done was say goodbye...

See you around!

Kat, how was DL? Hope you had a blast!

Wished I'd checked this thread on 8/13 -- we were at WDW (Yacht Club) from 8/14 - 8/23 (and stuck in Florida until 8/25 due to bad weather in Chicago and incompetence of American Airlines!) and we may have passed each other in the parks. Hope you had a good time.

We've canceled our Disney cruise for next summer so I am not on the DIS much any more. Too much money, conflict with school schedules and Janie really wants us to do Europe before DS13 gets too old, so we need to save and plan for that.

Robin, that video is neat...whoever took it must have been on the ship really early!

And JR, (who may not check this for awhile) it looks like the TF has decided you are eviltwin! Another vote for you landing in the brig!

Bummer, Nhoj...

I hope you had a great time. I know we did (pics on http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v506/dee47/Disney August 07/).

That should teach you not to check the boards!

Robin, I LOVED the video!

You will find me all around the community boards...that is where I hange out. Glad that you were able to get back on.

Come see me over there I'm on many of the threads.

so see ya there.....

 

[KSDTink]

Hi all. sorry I haven't been around. Since we got back from DL I haven't really been on here at all.

I have been getting into doing beaded jewelry and have gotten to where I am selling it. Check out www.figments.etsy.com and www.eclecticmiscellany.etsy.com . Both of those are mine. I have two craft shows coming up, one October 20th and one on December 8. And I have gotten a spot in a Saturday Salon in March at the local craft gallery. I have been busy, as you can see.

I am jealous of you ladies with plans for WDW and cruises. We have gotten rid of credit cards and are working on paying everything off so no real travel plans for us for awhile. Next year will be little weekend trips only.

 

[HAPPY-AT-DISNEY]

kat glad to see your back..your sites are really nice..do you make your own beads also..soo talented!!
robin..yes my guide tld me the othr day abt gc/& hawaii..
they are always giving you reason to spend more money!!!

im sure we will all be going on anothr disney cruise and if we play our cards right..poss can all go on the same one!!
maybe when they come out wth alaska!!
well gotta go..
my nxt wdw adventure is feb..i am making my dinner ressies tom..
take care and enjoy your week

 

[KSDTink]

Thank you Joanie. No, I don't make my own beads. Wish I did, though!

Dave has said that when we go to Europe (probably 2009) we can go to Euro Disney!!!! I am going to hold him to it! Of course, the timing of any new ships possibly going to Alaska may affect that too. But he also says no shakedown cruise, so we wouldn't go on the first few anyway.

Sherrena, I heard yesterday that Sprint had some shakeups. How is Dave doing? Do things look ok for him?

I gotta run but wanted to drop in...

Good to see you back Joanie....sounds like you are staying plenty busy!

Maybe those cute little things you're designing will help pay off those cards a little sooner....

The shakeups at Sprint were at the very top...in fact, THE top guy. I'm sure there will be fallout, but in Dave's little world things are going very well, so we hope that means things are good for him.
