Happy Holidays everyone!

Raining here too. Was wishing we would have a white Christmas since we'll be moving south. Looking forward to a tropical Christmas next year!

We are currently booked at WDW the week prior to Easter, but may have to reschedule depending on our move plans. Anyone else headed to the world for Easter??

Merry Christmas!!!

Welcome Laurajean1014,

You have a little bit of reading to do - some 65 pages to get up to speed - but it shouldn't take you too long...

Hmmm - 38 more posts to 1000

Who'll get there first??

Welcome Laurajean! We love having new people join us.

If you would pm me with some info (names of those sailing, birthdays, anniverary, cabin number, seating for dinner, any special info) I would love to add it to our monthly newsletter. When you send it I will pm you back with the password to the newsletter. It might save some of the reading of the 65 pages of messages.

Since I am waiting for confirmation, how has the ship been? Filling up, is it nearly sold out? Sorry, but I have not been able to read the older posts.

Can anyone bring me up to speed?

BTW, thank you for all welcoming me to this thread!

 

[WDWLVR]

Hey Laurajean - got your pm and sent you one back. Hopefully the newsletters will bring you up to speed. Bottom line this is a fun, crazy group all ready to celebrate the holidays together next year!

We have a brunch planned at Palo (Gail is organizing that - details in the newsletter).

LeiLani has volunteered her category 3 suite for a wine tasting party. We're still hoping to get to know who has the cat 1 suite with the piano (if we do and they let us in Karyn's DH has agreed to play holiday music on the piano for us).

Many of us are planning on staying at the Radisson the night before as well.

Oh and some of us are fighting to see who gets to make post #1000

 

[wdwgoose]

OKAY heres 968 and still counting.........
now why would you not have read all 68 pages of this thread???
are you one of those people who have a real life?????????????
I was there once then I got on this board!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not all of us are like me there are some norma ltypes out there
(I think) by the way there are some of us going to watch the magic come into port. at 4 am CAN we count you in????????
ANYONE one else ??????? there only so much room!!!!!!!!!

gaRry - You can count me in on the 4:00am thing.

It's about 45 degrees and raining here in Oregon. Lots of snow predicted in the mountains but nothing here in the valley.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Next year I'll be doing it in person!

Paul

 

[jilljill]

gaRry, I have to say there are better things that I would like to be doing at 4:00 am - either looking at the inside of my eyelids or driving down I-95 to the port.
We still have no clue when we will leave home for the drive down. For that matter, we don't even know what time to be at my mom's for dinner on Christmas Day. We definately can't plan THAT far in advance. We have too many other trips and a move to think about that.

 

[wdwgoose]

ONLY 29 MORE !!!!!!!!!!
Thats whats so great if you feel like watching the magic come in then you do if not then you look at the pictures!!!!!!!
it was something else seeing her come in so quitely. then stop and turn 180 around . how ever the pics DID NOT turn out.
she came in ahead of time and we were not ready for that.

oppps make that 10,000 and 29 more post.
paul you are right about next year and wishing in person.
lets see if jilljill see her eyelids then ??????????? I did learn a few things from old joe poor cmatt

almost 11 pm here so bed time.

everyone have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS spend time thinking of lost love ones and the veterans who have not returned

and time with the elderly. it means so much too them,

GOOD NIGHT ALL.


gaRry

 

[Kabuli1]

gaRry!

I'll do the 4am thing - I can't sleep anyway when we're traveling, tho for paulcrsb and I it will actually be 1 am our time - so that's not a real big deal, we should just stay up all night!

Merry Christmas everyone! I'm off to the 11 pm service.

[jilljill]

Karyn, no big lottery winnings for Wed. night, but you did win a couple of bucks. Here's to Fri. night.
(I thought I would post this here to get us closer to 1,000 and gaRry's untimate goal of 10,000)
Merry Christmas everyone, Santa just left a little bit ago so it's off to bed for now.

 

[wdwgoose]

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good morning we are having a white christmas YYY AAAAA
well another day at work had to change station today.
okay a few more for the morning stroll great.
well this thread is still moveing soo thats a good thing!!!!!!!
time for breakfast and before that I have to set the v c r for the W D W parade. SOOOOO is everyone going to watch (for me)????????????

 

[WVMD]

Merry Christmas to all - It's snowing here in Charleston, WV....

Hard to believe that we will all be celebrating Christmas next year in St. Thomas.....

Finally told the DD (9) about the Easter cruise - she immediately tried to con me into making reservations for the 10 day Cruise

I hope that everyone's Christmas wishes came true! (No - I didn't win the Powerball - but nobody did - so I still have a chance!)

Gary - we're going to watch the parade for you!

 

[WDWLVR]

I'd love to do the 4am viewing but a lot of it depends on when we fly in. Most likely it will be late Friday night.

Watching the Christmas Parade now and hoping to see gaRry. We're taping as well so if you see yourself gaRry and we miss you let me know where to look and we'll go back.

Right now everything that needs to be cooking is and I'm taking a little "me time" on the computer. The in-laws are due at 1pm.

 

[paulcrsb]

Merry Christmas everyone!

No white Christmas here, just gool 'ol Oregon rain!

gaRry - No TV at work? I'll be watching the WDW parade!

Paul

 

[Laurajean1014]

Well, I've read more than half of the 65 pages of this thread to try and catch up to the 10 day cruisers.

A lot of Mid-westerners, is any one from the Northeast? We live in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Anyone close by?

We're having a perfect Christmas, 50 degrees, sunny and relaxing.

 

[Kabuli1]

Laurajean, there are lots of people from your part of the country! jilljill's in DE; gail's on LI - and lots more. My siter lives in Trumbull, in fact my whole family is there today. "Cept us, cause we're here at home for the last time in Wheaton for Christmas.

Merry Christmas to all my friends! May it be the blessed ever!
