Welcome E&BMom! Ours' will be 11 and 9. DD will have just turned 9 on the 24th so we are going to celebrate on the cruise. Even though it's so far away, DH and I talk about it all the time. Can't wait!

Hi E&BMom

Welcome aboard

Our 2x Ds's will be 14 & 12 ! They love to cruise almost as much as their old man does.

I think it took us almost a week for the earth to stop moving under our feet. Oh, the price we must pay.

Only 1 1/2 years to go!

That sounds great!!! We are going ot WDW at Thanksgiving this year and will go a couple days before the cruise next year. We just went for 2 days in June before our Double Dip on the WOnder!!!! It is addicting!!

What part of missouri are you from?? We live in Kirkwood.

Sorry, my husband already has that shirt!

We're going to WDW in August, then again for Christmas 2008, then it looks like we are going to be back for Feb. break 2009, WDW Christmas 2009-then DCL day after Christmas 2009...
He must really love me!

 

[Trishde]

Wow!! This board is going to be crazy since it started so early, cool!!
Well yesterday we got off the Wonder 4-day.
Wednesday night while I was picking my DS7 up for the last time from the Oceaners club (he will be 8 next Sunday so he will move up the the lab) and we went to the room and on the bed was a reservation for this cruise!!!! DH.
We are very excited even though it is a long time away. I just mentioned to him it would be cool to spend New Year's on the cruise since we really don't do anything for NYE and the kids are off, I am off, it is after Christmas.
BTW, if they still do the cooking class in Cozumel, I highly recommend it, we did it in November and it was awesome!!

 

[Hobbitmomma]

Hi Trishde!
Well it's been kinda lonely here over the past few months, but things seem to be picking up. (We booked in April) So welcome! We are really excited too. How cool that your hubby just did it like that! My husband and I were also discussing how fun it would be to do a NYE cruise, and just for giggles, he looked into. Next thing we knew we were booked! We have only been on one other cruise and that was land/sea back in Aug. 2006. We aren't telling the kids until Christmas morning 2009. Can you imagine keeping a secret that long?? Where in NJ are you? I grew up in NJ and my parents live in Mt. Laurel. I'm just outside Philly now.

OK, to those folks with the 3,000 Disney trips between now and the cruise, I am so jealous!! If we had our way, we would get to Disney and DCL every year, but alas, it is not to be. Welcome aboard everyone!

Hi Folks!

Sorry we haven't been around much lately. This funny thing called "work" has kept me distracted. I have to pay for this Disney obsession of ours somehow?

Plus we're finally getting ready for our Mexican Riviera cruise which was booked over a year and a half ago. The excitement in this house is building daily.

Rest assured, once this one is over, you'll hear more from me. After all, I have nothing else now booked until this cruise next year. What am I going to do with myself?

Welcome aboard to all the new subscribers!

 

[Trishde]

Back again!
Hobbitmamma- I live in Howell, grew up in
Wall & my husband grew up in Neptune.

I have tried to search the boards but couldn't find anything but DH was wondering about wearing a tux on New Year's. He really doesn't want to and on all 4 of the cruises we have been on with Disney, he hasn't had to.

We are really looking forward to it. The kids are pretty good, they won't think about it much until it gets closer.
Tonight ds(to be 8 tomorrow) is having a sleepover with 2 of his friends from school. It's his first sleepover and so far they are being great!!

For his birthday we got him tickets to see the Jonas brothers, he was so happy!
I'll be on now and again. This will be our 2nd 7-day (we also did 3 4-day cruises on Wonder just got back last Thursday).
I know it's early but I highly recommend the Cooking excursion on Cozumel. We did it in November and had such a great time!
Have a good one all!!
Be back soon!

Hi all, I haven't been around in ages; work and the kids off school has been keeping me too busy! Will try to do better, certainly as we get closer to the cruise. I was also wondering about what Trishde's said about NYEve apparel. Does anyone know if people will dress up more for formal and semi-formal nights since it's the NYEve cruise? I think semi-formal night will actually be on NYE, so......? Will more guys wear tuxes? On our Eastern cruise, my husband and two sons wore black suits and looked terrific. But I found a tux on sale at Kohl's recently and bought it for my husband -- now I'm debating whether or not to return it....

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

 

[Hobbitmomma]

Well, we are planning on tuxes for both my husband and son. My husband just likes the way they look and he's looking forward to dressing up. That being said, I think that suits are fine too regardless of whether it's formal night or NYE. I don't think anyone should have to rent or buy a tux if they don't want to.

I'm actually wondering what they do for NYE. Does anyone know if they have a big blowout party or something? I'm curious. I wonder if they have an early party in the clubs for the kids who can't stay up until midnight.

 

[IMDORY]

Hi everyone!

My husband owns a tux and plans on bringing it and wearing it. DS will be 8 on the cruise and right now since it is a special NYE cruise, I was planning on getting one for him on ebay. I've heard you can get them there for a decent price.

I thought I read a post once from someone that went on a NYE cruise that they make NYE formal night and they have special stuff going on for the night.

It should be a fun cruise!

 

[E&BMom]

Hey guys!! Hope all are well. Just checking in to see what is up. Dh has talked to our TA and the Christmas prices for hotels are out for next year and we are booking next week (they won't let you book until next week)....we are going to be staying at the Poly a couple days before the cruise!!!!! Is anyone else coming early before the cruise?

Oklamomof4boys.......I read about your sons Wish trip....we are flying in just a few days after you guys...too bad we miss you. You will have a great time. How was your trip to DL the other week??


DH probably won't wear a tux..but a very nice dark suit. I don't know for sure..I guess he could change his mind.

School starts on the 19th. It always makes me sad. I really like having the kids home and relaxing in the summer.

It had been hot here. The beginning of the week was sooooo bad...Heat index of 114!! Uhhhgggg!!

Hope all are well..talk to you soon!

 

[Hobbitmomma]

Hi back! I heard how hot it is right now in the midwest. Sounds awful. We have gotten a nice break in the heat here on the east coast.

We've been busy here too with back to school stuff and getting ready for vacation. Our schools go back on Sept. 2nd. We are getting ready to leave on Tuesday for Israel and London. It's a big trip and I'm getting stressed with packing and all. I just hope that my kids (7 & 9) will sleep for most of the flight.

For the cruise, we are hoping to fly in Christmas night (late) and stay at the MCO Hyatt. Originally we were just going to go with the DCL arrangements and fly down the morning of, but all of the postings warning us not to do that changed our minds. It's going to be tough though. Still, we can't wait!!

Hi everyone! I'm E&BMom's DD. I just thought I'd pop in to say hi!
It looks like we'll have a lot of kids/teens on the cruise! That should be fun!
How is everyone??
