The first issue of the newsletter is up on the web page. It is in a password protected area and those of you who have given me your e-mail address (along with your other info) have been e-mailed the password.

For those cruisers I haven't heard from who would like to join in please drop me an e-mail with the following:

Your DIS name, your real name, names of those traveling with you, your birthdays (don't need the year ), your anniversary date, and any other info you would like to share (such as how many times you've cruised, favorite port, etc.).

I'm new at this so I'd also like your feedback.

Thanks and enjoy!

Hi fellow Christmas cruisers! Just curious if anyone has done the Christmas holiday on the ship before and if so, what sort of special activities, shows, menus,etc do they offer?! (We were on the New Yrs sailing last year and it was extra magical!)

Also, which island will be at on Christmas Eve and Day? Wow, isn't this all so exciting to think about!

 

[Kabuli1]

WOW, has it been busy here today!

Mary, the newsletter doesn't come up for me! Help!

Catspjs! We're going to be on St Thomas on Christmas which means we all get to get up super early to greet the immigration officials!

I can't believe how excited I am, and we have so long until we leave!

Karyn - the link is there - look under the itinerary (pm has been sent as well).

catspjmas - we will be in Antiqua on Christmas Eve and St. Thomas on Christmas Day. I've never been on the ship during the holiday season, but the pictures I've seen of the decorations and of Mrs. Clause reading to the children look great.

This thread has been amazing. If we keep this up for the whole year we may just reach max capacity!

Hello everybody!

I thought I'd post it here in case anyone else runs into the problem I had w/ the web page. The link to the newsletter doesn't show up when I tried to connect from AOL (9.0). It's fine from IE. So if you are having trouble, minimize AOL and pull it up on Internet Explorer!

Mary, nice job!

AND I'm keeping track of the 18+ "kids", that is, until one of them steps in. Please send me email addresses and screen names if you want to connect with the other college age, or 18 and beyond group!

The newsletter link doesn't work for me either.

Dena did you try to pull it up in AOL? Try mimimizing AOL when you are online than pull up Internet Explorer and try from there. That's how I found it.

Hey guys - sorry about the newsletter link. We tested it before sending it out, but since we don't use AOL didn't see the problem.

Thanks to Karyn who figured it out. Hopefully with her directions everyone will be able to get to it.

 

[WDWLVR]

Found us on page 3 - maybe everyone was busy reading the newsletter and didn't get a chance to post

Mary,
Nice newsletter, thanks.
I was able to view it using AOL 8.0.

Great newsletter!!!

I showed by DH, who is not quite as excited about the cruise as I am!

He asked about Golf excursions--do any of you know if they even exist?????

 

[two4ruff]

WDWLVR-
Just emailed you our information - can't wait to see the newsletter!

I've been off the board for a bit due to knee surgury and I can't believe the size of this thread! Wow!

 

[WDWLVR]

two4ruff, Sorry to hear about the surgery. E-mailed you the info on the newsletter.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I promise the October issue will have a little more content. Remember that we're going to talk about Key West in that issue. If you have been and would like to share your experiences drop me a line. You can either write up a paragraph (or more) yourself or just drop me some comments and I'll add them in.

Nice to see this get back on the first page. Seems with back to school happening everyone is busy, busy, busy!

Hope Gail is enjoying her cruise!

 

[two4ruff]

Sorry to be a pain, but could you resend me the newsletter information? We had a virus scare earlier and our server dumped all our emails!
Thanks,
jill

We were on the Wonder cruise Dec 2001 and there were lots of activities for everyone. For families they had a gingerbread house that you made completely. These weren't small by no matter, ours lasted on the ship, back to WDW for 4 days, flight back to VA and 2 weeks later we decided to let it go. For those that didn't want to worry about taking it with them could display it in the lobby area on a table they set out. The only concern we had was on debarkation day with the food laws. They didn't take the house from us and since it wasn't fresh we were okay.

The decorations were wonderful. The lobby was decorated with wreaths on the railings, a huge tree stood by the steps, down the hall near the resturants was a giant gingerbread house where they took portraits, up on the deck was a christmas tree tied to the what looked like the satilite dish, Mrs. Claus read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to the children in the lobby one evening.

If I get some time I will scan the navigators in from the cruise. I can't wait to take this one as we signed up the day it was announced.

Jill - I resend when I get home (I'm at work on a lunch break now) as that is where the info is.

gaRry - You're talking about Shirley from the Perfect Gift right? I already posted in another thread to her asking if I could give our her name and address for the wonderful packets of Key West info. She's heading back there this weekend. Wonderful, sweet woman.

 

[Kabuli1]

So, is anyone going to be around this weekend? We're heading over to Detroit for a couple days. So, I won't be around to do any bumping!

Everybody got plans for the weekend?
