Wow thread has been dead for awhile!!!! hehe.....

Just thought I would post that we are only 2 days away from the moving out of the triple digits and moving into double digits!

 

[traycie2201]

I know it's great isn't it, i'm there already and i don't know if it's just me but the days seem to be going quicker and quicker.

 

[il-gander]

Yes, we're nearly at double digits also (T minus 3 1/2 hours!), and I'm now starting to get a bit nervous about how much planning I still have to do, LOL! Lots and lots to do in the next 3 months!

Thank you for your thoughts last week when Mum passed away. Taking some getting used to, she ran one of my shops which I have had to close, did the Baby sitting, gardening etc, you name it she did it for us.
Hope I can find someone to run my business for me in Oct or will have to close it for 3 weeks.
Trying to plan excursions, don't know wheather to do Stingrays or Dolphin trip or both.
Any upgrades yet? upgraded last year to Cat 6 from 10. Fingers crossed.

Hi all!

I've only cruised once before. When you upgrade to a better room, do you pay the difference, or do they just move you up?

Thanks!

Hi Lori
If you ask for the upgrade you pay. If they upgrade you it is free.
We booked inside cabin got outside with verandah last year.

Hi All,

Just thought I would drop in and say hello...

This will be our first cruise, it will be also be the first time without DD18 (she will be in college) so it will just be myself42, DH40, DD11.

We will be going to MNSSHP on Friday night, staying at the Contemporay.

Since we booked this trip last Oct the wait has been killing me, but now it seems its just around the corner so I have a couple of questions.

We are staying in a Cat 6 rm #6082

We are going to do the REAS package so, what dining rotation would be best? - we have already selected late dining, larger table.

Any must do's? We usually take things pretty casual/slow so probably will not be trying to cram to much into this trip.

How about anyone with kids similiar in age to DD11, it would be great for her to meet a few people ahead of time(even on email).

Thanks for any help...

Denise

Welcome allforpooh! We will be right down the hall from you in 6070 and one of my DDs will be 11 in October. Please have your DD PM us if she'd like to get acquainted. We'll also be attending MNSSHP Friday night, maybe we'll see you!

Allfor regarding which dining rotation on Western: I think most people who do REAS pick the APLAPLA rotation. This would put you in Lumeniers (sp?) on both formal and semi formal nights and Parrot cay on Tropical nights. We booked this package too but haven't called Debbie in Disney Dining yet.

Wayne: My condolences to you and your family.

Welcome allforpooh!! We too will be at MNSSHP on Friday. This will be our first one, so we are very excited. We are staying at the Wilderness Lodge.

DD will be 10 1/2 on the cruise and is looking for other friends to meet (she already is writing to il-gander's DD). You can have her PM my DD if you like, her name is Jessica.

I also booked REAS, and have already spoken to Debbie. She is as wonderful as everyone says. I booked our spa treatment, and Palo dinner (I wanted to book the brunch, but I just can't find the time). I requested the APLAPLA rotation, it must be very popular, because when I asked Debbie if I could request a certain dining rotation she said "let me guess, you would like the APLAPLA".

This is our fourth cruise, but our first Western. Do you have any excursions planned? We changed our minds several times, but I booked two already. The ones we are definately doing are horseback riding on the beach in Grand Cayman (we are also renting a car while we are there), and doing the Dune Buggies in Cozumel. Were not sure what to do in Key West yet. Castaway Cay we are just going to relax and maybe snorkel or rent some bikes.

Double Digits here we come!!!!!!!!

Hi Cindy and allforpooh jen and jeff have kindly arranged a dismeet for sailing day on deck 10 straight after the lifejacket drill, hope to see you there, alot of us are taking kids all seem to be around the 9 - 13 range so i'm sure they'll meet and get on great for the duration , we are taking DS 12 (13 on cruise) and he has been mailing another boy his age which has worked out great , they will be hooking up in the club together and such, it seems like such a friendly group that will be on our cruise so i'm confident the kids will have a great time ( as will us adults )

 

[allforpooh]

Thanks for the responses,

Il-gander, Cindy21494- I will have my daughter PM you both so she can set something up with your daughters.

We are so excited, about both MNSSHP and the cruise. We just received our tickets to MNSSHP and now just need to decide what to wear. Due to a planning blunder, we are arriving at the airport Friday 6:20 which means we will be a little late for the party. I guess better late than not at all....

I still need to make my reservation for REAS, will probably do that this week. We have looked at some of the excursions but have not decided on any yet. We are thinking of staying on the ship for Key West. If we do get off there it will be brief, trying to relax and enjoy the activities on the ship as much as possible.

The Dune Buggies sound like alot of fun, I will need to look into that.

We will also try and make the dismeet, it would be a great start.

tracie2201, we are going to try to go to the dismeet. DD 4 hates the lifeboat drill, so she might not be in the greatest of moods afterwards. We will just have to see how it goes.

allforpooh, if you are interested in the dune buggie tour, try this website: www.cozumelhomes.com/tours/tour1.htm . Several people on these boards have used them and had no problems. The phone number is 918-747-8160, the person you talk to is Veronica. She is a very nice. My DD is looking forward to talking to your DD. She can't wait to meet everyone in person!

Does anyone know where I can send our infromation to be added to the dismeet? I know it is in here somewhere, but this post has gotten so big it will take awhile to find it.

Cindy
