Thanks for the hat orders everyone!!! I'll post a confirming order list soon so everyone can double check their orders.

That's cool that we can board the ship earlier, Dean!!! I'm sure our group will try to take advantage of it!

Gary,

Hi guys! I'm trying to go about this a different way, I sure hope this works!

Cheers!

Karyn

 

[Kabuli1]

Woohoo! I'm alive!

See, everybody, it's me!!! I'm still here! I've missed all of you so much. We've had new people join and I didn't get to say hi, hats are ordered we're organizing a meet - all without me!

I still can't post from like I used to, but it seems the problem is with aol cause I've got no problems on internet explorer.

I'm so happy to be back.

Ok, the big news here is that the house went on the market today, I've already had two viewings and the house is on tour for realtors tomorrow. I'm totally exhausted, this was a bigger job than I imagined. But now, after I tidy everything each day, I can DANCE!!!

It is soooo cold here, flurries this morning, it never got above 25 all day. I NEED Castaway Cay!!!

Wow, it's good to be back!

Karyn

 

[OKWMEMBER]

WELCOME BACK, KARYN!!!!

Boy, I'm glad you got things worked out! Now we can REALLY get this party started!

HADD!!!

 

[dheller97]

Welcome back, Karyn! It's nice to have you back again, we've really missed you. Now, that you've had a nice little "rest", it's time to catch up!

Remember, guys, one week from today is our day to book excursions.

Dean

 

[kmc33]

It's good to have you back.

Good luck with the house viewings!!

 

[Kabuli1]

Thanks everybody, I feel so warm and fuzzy!

Maybe I needed to be "grounded" till I got all my work done, it's more fun to hang out and play with my friends. Of course the realtors are kicking me out all day today for the realtor walkthrough, sigh so I still won't be able to play.

So this is just great about being able to get on the ship earlier, I imagine we won't be able to get into our rooms before the usual time tho. We'll have to watch the boards and see when they will be opening the port. Last year we were the first to walk through the door - but somebody else beat us to first in line. Anyway we will be there somewhere near the front of the line - I don't have a DIS shirt but I do have lime green attire.

Shingle, I'm really happy to be joining your crew for the Illuminations cruise, I've always wanted to do that. Who needs lime green? We'll already know so many people before we get in line. Anyone want to share a limo to the port?

Hey, I haven't got a place to stay yet the night before. Where's anybody else staying? No points left for DVC, so I'm going to have to pay which is the pits.

Dean, I'll try to get those res numbers for you today, if I remember by the time I get done with the daily trash and tidy.

Oh, I'm so happy happy happy to be back and in my dancing shoes.

Karyn

 

[goofyaboutmickey7]

hi karyn, i'm Randy Annie Jaclyn and I also welcome you back. I just came on in the last couple of days. look forward mid and stern to seeing everybody! Arrggghhh Randy

 

[dheller97]

Karyn, it's so nice to have you back. After all, you were my first on these boards.

Since we're letting Disney take care of everything, we're pretty sure we're at the Hyatt.

Have a good day all.

 

[OKWMEMBER]

OK, it's official!!! I just paid the balance of the cruise!!!
We're ready now!!!

Cap, tell Judi I can hardly wait! We'll sea how it works out!

Ann's backing the arrangements for us Friday night. I'm sure we're near the airport. We'll have to gather for some early boat drinks!!!

Good luck, Karyn!

HADD!!!

 

[Steve&Lisa]

Hello all.

We too are sailing on Jan 31st and can't wait.
Myself, my wife Lisa and our 20month old (at time of sailing) son Luke are taking our 1st cruise with Disney (4th overall) and are REALLY looking forward to it as we didn;t get away anywhere at all last winter and can't take another Canadian winter without a holiday.

It sounds like a lot of people already know each other on here.

I am wondring if anyone, who has sailed with Disney before, knows how accomodating Disney is with switching our dinner seating time. We book in August and were told that they only had late seating left and we were put on a waiting list for early seating. I was also told to check back around now as they look at the ages and try to accomodate for the younger children. Anyway, I was told that I'd have to take my chances with changing it on the ship. Which I found ridiculous . I have a full time career but am a travel agent (part time) and have never had a problem with a cruise line not at least try and accomodate a client.
I am wondering if someone can tell me how flexible they are once on the ship ??
Well I hope to meet some of you on the ship. What are these hats and meet all about ??

Steve

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Welcome aboard!!! More folks from Canada, great!!!

Gail and I changed our dining time from late to early after we boarded with no problems. However, it was the first thing we did after boarding the ship.

If you go back to near the bottom of page 23 of this thread you will see a picture of the hats we are offering. The colors we agreed on are Lime Green (To match the DIS t-shirts) and Carribean Blue. I anticipate the price to be arround $9 a hat, depending on how many we order. The text we are embroidering on the is also back a page or two. No one is obligated to buy one, we just thought it would be fun and an easy way to spot each other.

By the way, those of you who want to pre-pay (Thanks, Dean!!), let me know and I will either e-mail or PM my mailing address to you. If the hats, turn out to be cheaper than $9, I will refund the difference or buy you a boat drink, depending on my mood at the time. The rest can pay me on the ship.

We haven't settled on a meeting place yet but we're working on it!


HADD!!!

 

[dheller97]

Welcome, Steve-

Glad you were able to join us!! Like I told you, this is a fun group and I think you will enjoy everyone.

Dean

 

[kmc33]

My son is Luke too!! He is 4.

We were on the Disney Wonder last April. We had booked in January and were put on the waiting list for early seating. I called to check on our status about a month or six weeks prior to the cruise and we already had been moved to early. And the week we sailed the ship was sold out -- spring break time. I would think you have a good chance. I would definitely call and check. If it hasn't already been changed, you can make your case Good luck!

Welcome aboard!!!

 

[goofyaboutmickey7]

welcome steve lisa and luke, annie jaclyn and i look forward, mid and aft to seeing all of you. Hopefully you will be able to get the early seating. see you later Arrrggghhh Randy
