12/5/09 -- DUMMY -- The Cruise Your Heart Desires Most ; )

[poohluv2u]

Hi guys Sounds like you had a fantastic cruise.

Was there a reason why you all booked 12/5/09? We booked for next September, but we would love to cruise with ya again. Cheryl would you consider the Baltic? I heard the temps are about 72 degrees that time of year.

Hi Karen It is sooo nice you came to visit. Are you thinking about joining us somewhere where ever DCL decides to sail in 2010. The 12/05 is the dummy date the travel agent for disney on board decided for all of us who want to see what will be coming in 2010. I would even consider wearing a heavy winter coat to cruise with all these great people again. Yes, I would consider the Baltic but I am waiting for October7 to come and let us all know what direction the Magic will be heading.

Just ask Stephanie how great this cruise was. I had very high expectations and was not at all disappointed. How was your cruise???

Say hi to Ed and join us on the unveiling of where this group might be headed in 2010. It would be nice to see you both again!! I did get to see Helen, Alex and Bethany even for only a moment.

Lisa, You are WAAAYYY funny!

Am one of the first American's you met that talk that much........oh wait you met Stephanie first!!

I am soo glad you found us now.

Hey! LOL!!!!

Karen, we did have a fantastic cruise! Did y'all run into David & Helen on the 5nt??
I hope the sea wasn't too rough for y'all!
I really do hope we all get to travel together again!

Ditto!

We booked the dummy cruise too, not knowing when we would be going. We figured we'd wait and see what 2010 offered and where the new ships were going.
The Baltic sounds wonderful. We had a foreign exchange student from Denmark for the school year about 5 years ago. It would be neat to see her again. We would also love something that would include England. Our biggest hope though is that DCL eventually goes to Alaska!
We will more than likely book a Baltic or repo (that depends on repo ports) just to get the price locked in. We can always cancel or change depending what is offered later! Of course going with you all again would be great! This time I'd get much more involved!

We're most definitely interested in a reunion cruise ... Ed and I have been talking up a storm about whether we would do Baltic or TA, we'd love to do both, or maybe the "Mystery Cruise". Can't wait until Oct 7 to find out our options. This time I will be up at 4am to make sure we get on the cruise of our choice.

How was your cruise???

Our cruise was wonderful, how could it be otherwise when travelling with Disney and the DIS. We did miss you and John at dinner though. The 10 night will always hold a special place in our hearts

We wanted to be able to say hi as you got off the ship, but we played till 3am at MK and so we didn't manage to make it to the port till noon

Sadly we did not run into David and Helen ... 5 nights is just toooo short We did see Helen accept the CC clock prize for David, and then suddenly she was gone.

We had one night of pretty rough seas, but we ended up just giggling a lot, as we walked from side to side down the hallways About 3 am one morning we both sat up straight in our bed, as the closet door slammed open and the light came on, and it sounded like a jack hammer was beating on the outside of the ship. Ed jammed a suitcase against the door and we just went back to sleep.

We talked with Brent later that day and asked him what all the noise was about, he said the captain was turning the ship around, and for a little while we were going against the waves instead of riding them. There were quite a few people who were pretty scared, but we were just enjoying the adventure.

Anyone up fer a freindly sprint to 1000?

< steady silent grinnin' >​

Gee...

... it has grown quiet suddenly. Well... I was just passing through to look about. We skipped DL today on account of being a bit tired from yesterdays' beach BBQ we hosted (Saturday). We had 5 families on hand for a total of 16 souls. Being that schools started we had most of the beach to ourselves - and the temps were tolerably cool with a bit of a breeze. We made hot dogs, korean BBQ beef, curry chicken, BBQ Beef ribs (I made them and they were only so-so), plus salmon burgers. Here are a few pix:

So ... we did compromise and have dinner with about 15 friends and family tonite (Sunday). Over supper Alicia and a girlfriend of hers made tenative arrangements for them to join us on the Big Island in April... and possibly to take a girls shopping trip to Hong Kong ... without the spouses or kids. So tonite was spent investigating a few travel combinations of dates and hotel deals for Hong Kong.

Aside from that ... we're starting to develope the conversation with our friends and family for sailing/booking Disney in a few weeks ... for a 2010 sailing of some sort!

OK... I'm only semi-coherent.... it's late and time fer me to turn in. I'm beat from the past 2 days... plus the soccer games of saturday morning. Whew! Our 7 year old girls did fantastic scoring 6-1... while our little 4-5 year olds did so-so scoring 2 to 6. Oh well... time to turn in!

Cheers, and we hope your weeek to come is a perfectly pleasant one!

.

Yanno, that can actually be an assset in my line of work!
Lots of shmooze-fest events.

I just hope it's not at IKEA, because I hear their interviews are a little tricky!

Well, as long as they included the totally ambiguous instruction sheet, I'm good.

But the one with the drink in hand, shows ability to multitask

Hey! I was also writing the development plan on cocktail napkins at the time.

Fingers and toes crossed and lots of Pixie Dust!!!!

All crossables are crossed! Linda & I both wish you the best of luck!

Good Luck !!

Thanks everyone!

Very cool. Thanks Cheryl.

The guy said Mickey & Minnie were still onboard helping out, just not in their uniforms. I'd love to see them in their torn jeans and old t-shirts, painting the walls!

I see we already have more posts on the imaginary thread than on the real one. I'm glad the mods didn't shut this one down because there already is a thread for this date. We would have overwhelmed those poor cruisers, and that wouldn't have been fair to them.

Morning all!

M, good luck with your interview!

This is wierd. I know both of the people that won the clocks at the CC party..... I know David and on the 15nt it was our table mate that won! Too freaky!!!

Too funny about Ikea.

Not so funny about over a million nickels on the roadway!
