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

I think it depends on whether or not you book the air through DCL. At least in the past, in general for cruises, I was told if the cruise line is not making the flight arrangements, then the documents go out sooner.

Yikes, sticker shock, just paid in full today...we decided to fly in the night before, as it's only $180 to stay Friday night...so we'll fly Boston to MCO, stay at the Hilton there, then get to the dock earlier the next day, hopefully...we're letting DCL do the whole package, I SO need to relax on this vacation, you have NO idea...

We were flying into MCO the day of the cruise, but after the weather report for tomorrow (a foot of snow expected), and the fact that I'm a meteorologist by degree, therefore tend to jinx things (betcha didn't want to hear that! *wink* ) I don't want to risk being stuck...this gives us an extra day if the weather does get antsy, right?

*crosses fingers*

If you don't hear from us for a while, it's because we're buried...literally...

*sigh*

Having day from heck! Need adult beverages, preferably ones that come with little paper umbrellas!! Help me!!! Situation is desperate!!!!!

HADD!!!

P.S. Dean, Gail is glad Grumpy is back. I have no idea why, she just is.

Gary, it's too bad that you are having a bad day. I sure hope that you have a wonderful fantastic beautiful weekend. You deserve it have a couple of cold ones too! Have an O'doule's for me! Arrrrgggghhhhh

Was feeling pretty "Grumpy" again for awhile and just decided to bring him back to keep me company.

Tried to invite three new 1/31 cruisers over here to join us but got my keystrokes slapped and the messages deleted. Board moderator said in a very stern email that I was "taking business away from the owners and a few employees." I haven't been banned from there, yet. And, I did manage to get a couple of email addresses. Hmmmmm, may just have to drop them a note and invite them to come take a peek.

Sounds like those of you on the East may get a bit of the white stuff! We only got an inch or so, but had freezing rain first so it is pretty slippery out. Hope the weekend isn't too bad for you. Just sit back, watch the Magic in port, and sip on your umbrella drinks.

Wow, Dean! I just looked and my post was deleted too!! I never thought of it as taking business away. The cruise critic board is a great resource and for all other cruise lines is where I would go for my information. And in fact on these boards, I have seen others referred to CC board when they are going on another line. But the Disney board isn't nearly as active as here. I think I first learned of DIS boards through a post on CC board myself.

Good morning, Kim-

I didn't know if I'd hear from anyone out your way this morning. Have you got snow clear up to your computer this morning?

I did invite those new folks over to meet us, so we'll see what happens.

BTW, great picture you added to your signature! Have a great weekend.

Dean

our 8 year old dear daughter is upset as her 13 year old brother is in contact and chatting about the cruise with another cruiser his own age so she would like to do the same she hopes to chat with someone soon

 

[OKWMEMBER]

We're snow free in Erie, PA! I guess it moved south of us.

That's pretty rude of the Cruise Critic board. Maybe they have Board envy?

I went to the Port Canaveral site to see the Magic this morning. She looks as beautiful as ever!

I survived my work day yesterday and I'm having a nice, easy week-end!

I'm working on the hat list and hope to post it tomorrow.

HADD!!!

 

[kmc33]

Wow, no snow in Erie, Gary. I didn't realize that it missed you. We had a record fall for this date. The old record for Dec. 5th was set last year! I hope this isn't a sign that this winter is going to be like last year!!!! I think the official reading at the airport was about 6 inches, but it looked like that was on the low end as some areas got up to 10 or 12. In fact, we are a little northeast of the airport and I would say there were 7 or 8 in my driveway. I just finished shoveling about an hour ago. I think I need to get a snow blower!!! Better yet, I think I need to move south!!

Thanks for the compliment on the photo, Dean.

My daughter would LOVE to chat with someone, she does email...she's 11...any interest??

 

[goofyaboutmickey7]

Hi 4ofus Jaclyn would love to email with your dd

 

[The4OfUs]

Awesome! Kelsey has a "safe email" through Kiddonet (I won't let her have a hotmail or other email, being a webmaster...*grin*), so I'll have to get your daughter's email to add to the list, otherwise it will get rejected...can you PM that to me?

 

[dheller97]

Hi, group!

Does anyone know if it is the trolley or the train in Key West that allows you to get off in various spots to do the tourist thing?

Thanks!

Dean

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Dean,
According to our Passporter book,(a MUST have, check it out at www.passporter.com ) it's the Old Town Trolley that make nine stops around Key West. The Conch Train is non-stop.

Link to Trolley Site

HADD!!!

 

[dheller97]

I just checked out www.keywest.com and see two ships in port using Mallory Square webcam. Would one of them be the Magic? Looks like a great weather day there.

Can anyone tell I'm getting anxious?

Dean

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Yes, Dean, that would be the Disney Magic!!! The one farthest from the web cam. The ship next to the web cam is a Holland America ship.

I compiling the hat list as we speak and will post it tonight.

HADD!!!
