20040131 ~ Cruising Jan 31 2004 Western Who's with us?

[Annie12345]

Hi Tiiiigergirl and Gary - Your countdowns seem to be out of whack... at least I hope I don't have to wait 618 days for our next cruise LOL!

Tiiiigergirl, my DD loved the kids club as well. She will just have turned 10 before we cruise and the only thing I'm concerned about is that they apparently don't issue pagers for that age group. We decided to do back to back cruises because we asked our DD if she would prefer a one week cruise and two weeks in Orlando (which is what we did last time) or a two week cruise and one week in Orlando.... she opted for the non-existent option of three weeks on the cruise (LOL), so we went for option two. Looking forward to meeting you! DD wants to know, does your DS like hockey??

 

[Tiiiigergirl]

Looks like the counter left the twilight zone and is back to counting our cruise as it should be!

Annie ~ our son has watched hockey with his dad and liked that. Although it might have been the popcorn and soda . He has not ever played it. Does your daughter play?

Our son also prefers the cruise and we talked about doing back to back cruises but I just can't give up my theme park vacation. We will be doing 5 days at WDW after. We tell DS until about two weeks before we leave because he is unbearable. Hyper in overdrive.

OKW ~ Are Burmese cats the one's with the smushed face and long hair. I love those! However, I have a rule nothing in the house more spoiled than me and well cats are you know. Of course our dog is giving me a run for my money. If she pushes it any further she will be out of here! Yeah right who am I kidding?

Hi! We're from Pittsburgh -- not too far from OKW. We just sailed on the Wonder on April 6th (in fact I am hoping to post a trip report any day now). That was our first Disney cruise and we loved it, but it was not long enough! So we decided to book the Magic for a 7 day for next year. My DS (4) loved the cruise. We did a land/sea package and he kept asking when we were going to "the big boat". He will be excited about going again -- Santa will be bringing this for us for Christmas.

I am so excited, but it still seems so far away!

 

[Tiiiigergirl]

Well everyone I'm out of here for a week or so! We're off to Iowa to visit some family. Try to keep the thread warm and to the front.

Too bad I wish it was a Disney trip!

 

[kmc33]

Told my DSis about our trip over the weekend and she was very interested. I am trying to talk her (and her DH, DS5 and DD2) into joining us! Her birthday is January 31, what a great way to spend a birthday!

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Just keeping the link alive! We're spending my 50th at OKW in September. We haven't been there in the Fall for quite a while.
We usually go early December.

 

[Tiiiigergirl]

I'm baaaaaaack. Too bad it was the trip from H E double hockey sticks! OK probably not that bad but I was really wishing I was working. That is a bad trip.

 

[kmc33]

Looks like another family is going to be joining us -- my sister and her family! It will be her, her DH, DS5 and DD2 (almost 3). I am so excited!! My DS and my nephew are good buddies, so that will be fun for them.

Anyone else joining us?!

 

[GinaAnn]

Me, my dh, and 2 boys who will be 6 and 3. My sister, BIL and baby not yet born, Plus Mom and stepdad.
We all booked onboard durning the 1/26 cruise and last time I checked there were something like 12 Dreams Familes cruising that week

bounce: hi gina where one of the dreams families. there are now 14 families on the dreams info but it has not been updated for a while so its proberly more then fourteen have you used dreams unlimited before

 

[GinaAnn]

This will be our 3rd time using them. I think that they are great. We did the land/sea then the 4 night now seven night coming up in Jan and I can not wait!

[kmc33]

We are a Dreams family too. This is our second time using them. I think they are fabulous! Last time I think we were the only Dreams family on the ship. Does anyone know what the onboard gift is if there are enough Dreams families on a given sailing?

 

[Tiiiigergirl]

It sounds like many of you are using Dreams. I keep toying with the idea but I have a hard time using a inet company. Right now I am in control of the res and will not turn it over until I see the right deal. I will definitely wait until our local travel show this fall and see what kind of benefit I can get for turning the booking over at that time.

 

[Annie12345]

Hi Everyone - Looks like our group is getting bigger... that's great... We are loyal Dreams customers. This past February when we cruised, we were lucky enough to get a huge rebate a couple of weeks before we left.

We went out for supper tonight, and I had creme brulee for dessert. It was so disappointing... I have to say that the chefs on the Magic have spoiled me, and nothing tastes as good as on the ship...

TTYS

[OKWMEMBER]

OK John and Cheryl, I know you're out there!!!! Make your reservations and join us in this thread!!!! We'll save you a seat for dueling pianos and the DVC reception so we can cheat on the answers again!!!

We booked a deluxe inside stateroom this time due to financial considerations. The DW loves the split bathroom! We will miss the veranda, though. But we are on the ship!!!!! We are looking forward to visiting Key West again, especially having a cheeseburger at Jimmy Buffett's Margarittaville! Sloppy Joes and the Hogs Breath are also must see and be seens.

 

[Tiiiigergirl]

I have to rescue our post. It was buried. I have been sick for the last week. This is the first day since last Saturday that I've left my bed to do anything except visit the doctor. I'm just hoping that one of these days I'll be able to hear out of my right ear again!

I had a dream that we were on the cruise and watching the super Bowl in the ESPN lounge. Only it expanded each time someone entered. The ENTIRE ship was in there. Dreams sure are odd!

Welcome Grandma and Happy Mother's Day to you and everyone else! I'm so glad you found this board. It will make your hard earned money get more bang for the buck so to speak! And everyone is really nice about answering all those newbie questions.

 

[OKWMEMBER]

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day week-end. We are starting to get primed for our trip to WDW in September to celebrate my 50th birthday. We adde danother day so we can go to the first night of Mickey's Not-so-scary Halloween Party. My DW says the cruise in January will be an extension of my birthday celebration! I don't know if I want to celebrate being 50 that long!

 

[Tiiiigergirl]

Hey Gary you could be like me, I just keep turning 21 each year. You could also tell your wife that the cruise is to celebrate your unbirthday!
