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

[Jillie]

Hi Everyone....i have been having withdrawals as i have not been able to access the Disboards for over 2 weeks(don't know why). I have alot of reading to catch up on!!

We booked our excursions: Jetskis in Key West; Stingray City in Grand Cayman; Jeep Tour in Cozumel and Banana Boats and parasailing on Castaway Cay.

We just returned from 3 days skiing in Maine and i can't wait for a real vacation in warm weather, not lugging ski boots and skis, crying kid who wants to keep up with the older kids but can't!! oh, that konk kooler sounds really good!

Jillie,
How did you book jet skis in Key West? I did not see that excursion offered.
Thanks

I received info from Shirley NelsonBrown in Key West. She recommended Key Cat's at Mallory Square. I called and spoke with Shelly. Her number is 305-294-4515. They were very nice. It was $95 for one hour with 10% discount for DCL passengers.

Hope this helps. Where in NH are you from? We live in Nashua.

 

[wendilyn]

Jillie,
Thanks for the info. I will give her a call. Were there only jet skis or did they have wave runners too? I just reserved for banana boats at Castaway and they're booking fast so call if you want to do them. We live in Derry.

I am not sure about waverunners as I did not ask. We spend some time in Derry at the Sportzone as my daughter plays AAU basketball and plays in some tournaments there.

I really wanted to do the jeep tour in Couzemel. However, my group wants to do the dolphins.

My sister is doing the parasailing in the am.

I am booking captain marvins for stingray city. My little girl will be 4 on the cruise so can't go on the disney excursion.

 

[Jillie]

Our group of 24 planned on the Jeep Tour but one girl is only 9 and Disney would not allow her to be part of this excursion so we all are going to Mr. Sanchos Beach instead.

It is so cold here in NH that I really cannot wait to get to some warm weather!!!

you just forgot to include innocent and better looking to make it truly laughable......

Now I notice that the "sweet, kind" one has subliminally threated my life and proclaimed her character in the same sentence..... see below.....

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???

In my own defence, I never came up with the towel threat. My reference to towels was strictly in regards to the towel animals. But since we are on the subject, dipping the tip of the towel in water makes it even more painful!

Angela - thanks for your offer of refuge, support and defense by your now infamous warrior toes. Also, baggey summer dresses work really well for chocolate eating contests.

Not too many more sleeps to go,

[wenabre]

Now, girls....play nice or I'll hand you over to Nana!!!
And by the way Dragon Lady Dear...aren't you supposed to be at work?
If you two don't want to be grounded for the week ( and yes I still can do that!!!) , I suggest you called a truce or you'll be snorkeling with the stingrays as CHUM!!
Love Mom Wenabre

Hmmm, let me refresh your memory, oh old one who forget to reread what she wrote...

Mom wrote 3) yes, you can do that with a towel.....but you can't do that with a towel to your Sister... and you answered.....

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

I see no mention here of animals and the welts part certainly sounds like a threat to me. Just remember, I have less surface area to hit!!!!!!

BTW mom...... SHE STARTED IT

 

[Dragon Lady]

I responded about the welts only after Mom alluded to "not doing that with a towel to your sister". My intention was only sheer joy and excitement about the cruise and what I would see. But of course once the topic was raised i couldn't resist.

Practical jokes are never fun when someone gets hurt. Now tipping the room steward to short sheet your bed, that is another story............

Let the games begin!!! We can "Chum" together (hahaha).

Hey everyone...we are at 50 days and counting!! I can almost here "When You Wish Upon a Star" right now! Has anyone started shopping/packing for this trip? My daughter and I are going shopping this afternoon...she is looking for bathing suits and a dress for her school semi-formal/formal night on the cruise.

We had snow here last night which really makes me long for some nice warm weather and tropical breezes.

 

[softfluff]

I went shopping in my smaller clothes bag in my closet today. Does that count...LOL Gucess what I fit...yeah!!!

I also have done shopping for my little girl and my DH. Only at the store.

 

[Vivig]

We are also sailing on the same cruise. Myself, DH and our DS 5.
Getting quite excited
The snow is just not stopping and we are anxiously awaiting for some nice warm air :

Together we decided a Disney Cruise would be awesome. We booked the cruise in 2/02. I found the DIS boards shortly after we booked our cruise last year. I was sooo excited I would print out reports and navigators and pictures, etc. My husband would blandly look them over. Eventually he told me that the cruise was just too far off to get that excited about it.

Well, yesterday he asked if I had the navigators so he could start looking them over - oh, and while I was at it, how about a few trip reports. I happily handed them over.

I'm no longer alone in the details planning this trip!! He's started counting down the days! I think I started at 435 or something like that!

Looking forward to meeting all of you on the cruise!

Beth, Steve, Stephanie (6) and Gretchen (5 on 4/27)

 

[saturday97]

We've started shopping for DS and for DH, I'm always last minute! DH started to get excited when we booked the shore excursions. Can you believe that he has never been any further East than ARIZONA???

 

[Stewy]

We would like to be added to your list. Cruised in January for the first time on the 3 day Annual Passholder Cruise and liked it so much we thought we would try a 7 day. Our names are Cheryl, DH David, and DS Lakewood (5).

 

[Jillie]

Welcome Stewy.....I am sure you will all love this cruise....it is the BEST! Have you decided on any excursions?

 

[Dragon Lady]

Hi Stewy and Vivig,

consider yourself added...... we are now up to 71 Adults, 39 youths, 22 DIS identities and 34 groups!!!!!

Jillie - my shopping has been proceeding a bit at a time, got some new quick dry shorts and a few t-shirts on the weekend as well as some cheap sunglasses at Wal-mart (I love being able to buy kids sunglasses). I'll be heading to Calgary Alberta next week for some meetings and I hope to get a much needed bathing suit for the cruise. Hopefully Old Navy has out their spring/summer lines 'cause this will be the last time I get to a big city before the trip. Planning on getting some more cheap pins at the Disney Store as well, they had them on sale for 75% off last month (0.88 and 1.88 CAD per pin). Yay.. Happy Shopping Times!!

Talk to you all soon,
DL

Jillie and Dragon Lady, Thanks for the warm welcome. Jillie, to answer your question about excursions. We have not booked anything yet. We planned to do an Eastern due to existing hotel reservations but DH did not like the idea of extra day at sea, wanted to see as much as he could so we managed to change the dates of our hotel and booked the Western. We are just starting the research on excursions for the Western.

I am really excited to be cruising again. Looking forward to doing all the things we missed. Our 3 day in January was too short and too cold. The temps were never very high. Looking forward to some nice, warm weather and being able to swim at Castaway.
