Hey Mandy
We are sailing too! This will be our 3rd Disney cruise It will be myself, myDH and my 3 girls 13, 10, and 8(at sailing). Also cruising with us are my sil and bil and my niece12 and nephew8. They have sailed with us the 2 previous times as well. We pulled the kids from school the last 2 times but just don't want to do that again. We were really hoping for a 7 day carribean cruise but alas it was not meant to be BUT we are totally psyched about 2 times at Castaway Cay and we booked a cat 3 for the first time

Now if we could only make the time go faster!!!!!!!!!

Hi Suzanne

I will be travelling with my DH Paul and 2 DD's, Kerry (who will be 17) and Becky (who will be 15). This will be our 5th Cruise, we have done 3 x 3 night cruises and in January we did our 1st 4 night Cruise which was fantastic

Here's a link to my Cruise Trip Report, so you can see what we look like

We have booked a Category 6, on deck 6 and midship

I look forward to getting to know you a bit better and I hope a lot more people join us

LOL - you've lost me there Suzanne I haven't seen Ferris Bueher in years, though I love Matthew Broderick - especially in Godzilla

How are you ? I got my confirmation from DCL in the post this morning, I love getting mail from Disney, even if it's to remind me how much I owe them

I hope we get a few more people to join us on here soon

Mandy

 

[mandymouse]

Hey Suzanne, I hope you're OK, you must come and chat on here sometime

Has anyone else booked this Cruise ? Please come and say 'Hi'

Hi!
My family will be cruising for the 1st time on 8/24/08!!
Its me, DH, & 3 kids (12,8, & 7 at time of cruise).
We are booked in 2 cat 10's on deck 5 I believe. We have early dining. Looking forward to CC x 2!

 

[mandymouse]

Hi there mommykds

This will be our 5th Cruise and it was the double-dipping at Castaway Cay that swung it for hubby to book it. We did a 4 night Cruise this past January and had an absolutely fantastic time

I see by your tickers that you are off to WDW later on this year, are you going in August ? We're going back in July and staying at the Pop Century, where will you be staying ?

Anyway I hope we get a chance to chat more

Mandy

 

[mommykds]

Hi Mandy!
Thanks for pointing me to this thread! Wow,,your 5th? You are a veteran! I will be asking you questions if you don't mind!

We will be at the BC 8/21-8/31. We were there last August too & had such a wonderful time we had to return. (We like to try different resorts each trip, but the service & overall experience at the BC made us stop there!)

 

[mandymouse]

If you need to know anything, then please ask away, I will be more than happy to help

You may find something useful on my recent trip report http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1337848 and you'll see what a mad family we are and what a fab time we had

We've never stayed at the Beach Club, but it looks lovely, it's always great to have your next trip planned, but to have two planned is brilliant !!

I know it is still so far away, but it is so hard not to get excited isn't it??? Have you sailed Disney before?

 

[mandymouse]

Hey Suzanne, How are you ??

Mandy

 

[suzannef]

I read on further and see that this will be your 1st Disney cruise. You and your family are in for a treat, it is soooo much fun. I also see you are from NY, we are from CNY how about You?

Hi Mandy hows it going across the pond!!??

 

[suzannef]

Hey Suzanne, How are you ??

Mandy

Hey you are on?! What time is it there?

 

[mandymouse]

It's about 2.50pm, and it's a lovely Spring day here

 

[suzannef]

It's about 2.50pm, and it's a lovely Spring day here

Do you DIS from work or are you at home? I'm a stay at home mom, but my youngest went to school all day this year and I will probably go back to work part time in the fall I haven't worked in almost 12 years now so it seems a little scary, although more money = more Disney cruises right? We have had awful weather and are patiently(or not:rolleyes) waiting for spring to arrive. It is raining here today and a very ugly gloomy day.

 

[mandymouse]

Hey Suzanne, I always Dis from home, I don't work as such, I'm a carer for my mum who has very bad arthritis. I go round to her home most days and take her shopping and help with any jobs and appointments that she has.

I've always been able to help her and work around the girls when they are at school, so it's been great to be there for them too

I haven't had a 'proper' job for about 14 years and I would be so nervous to have to go to an interview now, though I do miss the social side of working

So Good Luck for when you start looking for your part-time job

Do you have any other vacations for this year ?

Mandy

p.s. Girls, you will probably see me posting on my 7th January cruise 'meet' thread - I was so lucky to meet some wonderful people on my last cruise and we still chat everyday

 

[suzannef]

We are going to Virginia Beach in June when the girls get out of school. We have an inground pool and spa and we like to enjoy that all summer, hopefully the weather will finally break here

I also met a WONDERful group of people from our Sept cruise last year and we talk almost daily as well. My dd 7 still emails back and forth with her little cruise friend who is a doll!!!
