4/26/03 ....who is going?

[wenabre]

Up till now I have looking forward to the cruise but not too excited as I was facing some surgery, but ...NOW...that its over, and I am on the mend I can focus my energies on our trip to WDW and our cruise. We were at the Disney store today and picked up some pins on sale which we will use to teach my DD ( the 29 yr old) the art of pin trading. As it is her first trip to both WDW and the cruise, its going to be some much fun seeing it all new again through her eyes.
By the way, anyone bringing pins to the meet on the ship? Hope to see you there!

Hi all !!

I am Wenabre's DD (the 29 year old...no .. 30 can't be just around the corner... please stop the aging process....). I have been reading the DIS board with much excitement, as this will be my first trip to WDW and on a Disney Cruise. I can just hear me now - "Whoo Hoo... look there's Mickey.... hey, how much shrimp can I eat ..... where's the pool.... cool... look at all the chocolate.... fine, the diet starts again when I get back home ... i didn't know you could do that with a towel ..." and then in typical fashion, I'll crash just like a seven year old.

Looking forward to meeting everyone on the ship.

Does anyone else have trouble deciding what outfits to bring for formal and semi-formal? I have about 7 different outfits in my head and knowing me ... I'll try to bring all of them!!

Can't wait to go,
D.

Hi Dragon Lady....I don't have too much trouble deciding what to bring as I like to be pretty casual. Even on formal night i wore a long skirt and knit top or a long sundress. I way overpacked for our last cruise and will try to do better this time (yeah right!!).

 

[angelaj]

Hi Dragonlady! I understand your excitement. This will be my first cruise ever. I'm so excited, but a little bit nervous. Will you be at the DIS meet? It's at 2:00 on Monday in the Promenade Lounge on Deck 3 next to the Internet computers. Those of us who are pin traders are going to bring our pins. We're also going to bring postcards from our home city to trade with everyone. Hope you'll be there. I can't wait to meet some fellow DIS'ers!

ONLY 74 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[wenabre]

Welcome to the Boards, my Dragon Lady DD.....
in answer to your questions:
1) don't worry about packing too much, your Sister always does!!
2) don't worry about eating too many chocolate desserts, you can get up real early and come swimming with me.
3) yes, you can do that with a towel.....but you can't do that with a towel to your Sister...
4) all discussions about 'clothes sharing' with you Sister will be discussed out on the verandah, with the door shut!!!!!
5) there will be no crashing like a seven year old, I already have you Nana to deal with when it comes to Super Snoozes!!

Your Loving DM

In Response.....

1. Well apparently now I'll have to pack even more now that my sis will be pilfering by suitcase. I wonder if you can get an electric shocker for a suitcase, set to cattle prod strength.

2. Is the pool set to bath temperature? Cause you know what us girls are like, we completely admit to being cold water wimps, unless of course there are dolphins, manatees or other cool animals and fishes (speaking of which, the snails in my fish tank had babies yesterday).

3. Ahhhh come on, a welt or two won't deter from her cuteness.

4. Are you sure we should be on the veranda, it's pretty high up from the water if the "discussions" get heated. Maybe the bathroom would be safer....

5. Okay, caffeine will be my friend.

Found two need wraps (shawls) at Walmart the other day for $7, one for the day (matches the bikini) and the burgandy one for the evening, matches my long black dress.

Also, saw a really pretty light blue short length dress the other day that I am debating over, but will likely wait till I go to Calgary in March to do any pre-trip shopping.


Love ya both,
D.

bump.....

for those who haven't seen the pin trade and dis meet discussion from the other April 26 thread.... Tap & Dap have set up a dis meet and greet with pin trading and a post card swap on board.

Monday April 28 (first sea day)
2:00
Promenade Lounge, Deck 3, next to the computer terminals.

I just did a rough addition of the two threads, and it looks like we have 63 adults and 34 kidlets or teenagers coming from the boards!!!! WOW

Looking forward to meeting everyone there.

Hi Dragon Lady! I'm so excited that we're going to be tablemates for dinner. I'm looking forward to meeting you and the rest of your family. Did your mom tell you she and I are going to have a talented toes contest? Ha ha! We're going to be right down the hall from you in cabin 8042, so if you and your sister have a big argument and end up using those towels on each other, you can seek refuge with us for a while!

Only 61 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there,

I got a phone call yesterday about our new and multi-talented table mates. Sounds like it will be alot of fun!! The thought of picking stuff up with toes makes me cringe, I am envisioning toe cramps. Picking up stuff with my toes is not one of my strengths, but I do have lots of crazy toe socks, so i'll bring a few pairs of those to the toe party!

Looking forward to meeting you all, and Kaighley and I don't usually fight (we live so far apart), our "bickering" consists of good natured sarcastic "burns".

I ended up buying the light blue dress that I was admiring up here in the North, and Kaighley will be happy because it's a 5/6 so it will fit her as well.

Only two more months.....

Talk to you soon.
Danielle

 

[Katdb]

Wait a minute here.... how come DragonLady (note the name) is being offed (oops, freudian slip hee hee) I mean offered refuge whilst I, the sweet, kind younger sibling am being overlooked???
Might I also add that it was DragonLady who first came up with the towel threat???? But then again, if she has to run for refuge, she won't have time to pack and I will get free reign of her clothes!!!!! I think I am beginning to like this idea..... TOWEL FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On another note, I can't wait for the cruise and meeting our tablemates... I may not excel at talented toes contests... but I am sure I can excel at a chocolate eating contest.

 

[angelaj]

Kaighley, you crack me up! You sound just like my younger sister! You and Susan should get along great! Danielle, we older sisters have to stick together and show the young'uns how to treat us with respect. And if you do have to run to our cabin for refuge, be sure to bring your suitcase with you so that the "sweet, kind, younger" one won't pillage your wardrobe! If she tries to come after you, I'll protect you with my warrior toes.

As for the suggested chocolate eating contest, I'll be there wearing my elastic waist pants with no belt (which is also the suggested attire for all those big buffets). Bring it on!!!
