Gail, we just rented Boardwalk points for the 15th and 16th! It was 9 points for each studio on weeknights, 18 points on weekends (standard room). I just posted a thread on the rent page asking when to start looking into it, and got a reply pretty quickly. The standard rooms apparently go quickly because they are "cheap", points wise. If you get to rent, let me know. Maybe we can get together Wed evening or do a park meet at one of the shows.

Diana, we're also on late seating. We'll have the in-laws with us, so I'm assuming that we'll be in one of the 6 person tables. Given my kids dinner behavior (11 and 12 on the cruise), don't know if anyone will want to share with us. Maybe we can ask to have a particular section? I'd really like the LAPLAPLAPL rotation, so I may end up asking for a dining reassignment if I get the standard for our kids (PLAPLA....) I know I couldn't trust my kids to be at the kids table. DS wouldn't eat anything but dessert unless I was there!

Take care everyone! Oh and GaRry, those teeth are just for show!

Ok, both your wife and us are trying to convince you to switch to early and yet you hold your guns? Wow!
We're almost convinced.

Hi Lisa.

That would be great to get together at WDW or what ever works for you all. I called WDW and got a AAA rate for standatd room at Beach Club and it was $822.00 including tax for 3 nights I put a hold but would rahter have a studio or one bedroom. WDW reservations told me they have not released a price ofr the BV yet and to call back. They also give AAA discounts. It might work out to be very close in price if I rent points or book it on my own. We are just not sure with school and DH work schedule and all if we will come Wed-Sat before we cruise or Thurs-Sat. We also have a room on hold at the Radission near the port the night before we cruise. We could go Wed to WDW and stay till Friday evening and then get car service to take us Friday night to the Radission. That way we can do the parks on Friday. We will see how it all works out. I will keep you posted.

Hi Ohiominnie. We are early seatting but have younger children. Our table has 9. I have no idea what the highest number that they will sit at a table but we can get another table started next to us if you all are intrested. Mary and her DH Mark are also sitting with us. (WDWLVR) I totally understand if you do not want to be around an almost 8 year old DD, 3.5 year old DS and Debs Hills son who will be 4.

Weather is terrible in NY. Snow, freezing rain, snow and more rain. DH took the children to the fun zone. A palce to play games and small indoor rides for young ones. Sponge Bob and the Rugrat Characters are putting on a show there today. My DH took them so I could paly on the computer with quiet time. A good deal $7.00pp for the show and pizza, juice or soda after the show.

Anyway, I wish I was in Sunny Florida today. Hope you all are having a great day. Talk to you all soon. Fondly-Gail1771

Wish we could afford the time to come down early and play a little at WDW before we cruise but it just isn't in the cards.

Can't wait to be back on the Magic and I'm so happy that many of your are getting to do it twice in one year! We did both Magic and Wonder last year and it was fun!

Lisa there is a DVC chat tonight if you want to find out more about ownership

 

[paulcrsb]

Even though it's very crowded, we are still going to go to WDW after the cruise. I just can't stand to go straight home after the cruise.

Paul

 

[WDWLVR]

Paul are you staying for New Years at WDW? If so which park will you be at for New Years Eve? Would love to see New Years at Epcot some time. Not this year but who knows about the future. Where have you planned on staying?

Thanks for the invite! We're really leaning towards switching to late dining so that our dd can be with WVMD's dd. They became fast friends on our September cruise and it'd be fun for them to be together. Besides, WVMD and his wife are pretty neat ppl too...must be, we ended up chatting with them for an hour after bumping into them at the airport! We're almost ready to take the plunge to late dining although it's so foreign to us. WVMD has yet to say something that makes me jump in with both feet (I'm waiting for him to say "I'll pick up the wine package." or something like that.)

WINE WELL!!!!! then you would want to sit with jilljill!!!!!!!

YES thats the table to sit at if your a wine person.
OKAY maybee not you would want to sit with someone who sips wine . nope nope nope NOT at her table!!!!!!!!!
I've heard the only true wine she sips is that imported wine from
southern ill. boonesfarm something????????????
GOOD young jilljill.
just think if you were not going on this cruise I might have to pick on some other or so.

Mary - We hope to get tickets for the New Years Eve party at Pleasure Island. I hear that it's a mass of humanity but we've done Vegas on New Years Eve before so I can't imagine that it would be any worse than that. If we can't get tickets I think our next choice will be Epcot.

Well gaRry, I sure am glad that I am on this cruise for you to pick on me too. It must be something about that like to pick on me. But it's all good.

jilljill, wished I could send ya some sun. It's 50 deg here in Dallas with drizzle. If it weren't for the drizzle, I'd be driving around topless.

We didn't get in on Page 1, but we made it onto Page 2. We've pretty much just been lurking since then... (obviously, given our low number of posts)... but a post like the one above can bring my scanning to a screeching halt. I guess Hercules10 is a guy and he's talking about his convertible. LOL!

Yes, Herc is a guy as he talks about 'Wifey'. Now I'm with you on hoping that he has a convertible

Paul, Don't they usually bring in some big name acts for Pleasure Island on New Years Eve? I had forgotten about that until you mentioned needing tickets.

Not really my scene, but if you want it I hope you get it!

We'll be flying home the day the cruise ends and heading back to work the next day. Can't beat the 10 wonderful days we will be cruising though!

Stop lurking and join the fun! We need all the posting help we can get so we can reach 10,000 for gaRry by the time we cruise. Tall order but we can do it

Of course if he doesn't stop picking on jilljill

If gaRry stopped picking on me then this thread wouldn't move much some days. That's ok that he picks on me, because when I board the cruise I will be tastefully dressed and will not stand out in the crowd.

 

[wdwgoose]

Tastefully dressed

I was updating my cruise list not doing a good job, must work at it ,,,, anyways missing alot of things so I might have to pm some of you to get it right????????????????

gaRry,

I can send you a copy of my list and we can compare. I've been using it to try and keep track of birthdays etc. for the newsletter. Let me know if you want it. It's in Excel.

That's true jilljill! If we didn't have some teasing going on the thread wouldn't move much at all. After all we still have 11 months until we cruise.

We picked up something for the cruise today. A fanny pack for Mark that has holders for two water bottles.

Oh well - make 1400 someone. I'm off to DVC chat.
