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

[beschultz]

From what I have seen, I think I would like to do Palo for brunch. It sure looks and sounds yummy. I think it would be great to be up there when the sun is up!

Anyone else interested in doing that? We still haven't decided on whether we want to do Palo for dinner.

We too are going on this cruise with our son who will be turning 4 years old on that Monday.

My son's preschool class mascot is the Dolphin so we had hopes of trying the Swim with Dolphins excursions but you need to be at least 8 years old. We also thought about the Dolphin Encounter but it doesn't appear they do anything on Wednesdays which is when we'll be in Cozumel.

Alternatively, we had considered the Submarine trip with Shoretrips.com but minimum age is 5

Can anyone highly recommend a fun excursion for a 4 year old?

Thanks - we'd appreciate anything we may want to consider in advance so that we can book early!

noris...just checked Cozumel excursions,& Dolphin Discovery Cozumel(3-3.5 hours) under childs price says ages 3-9.This leads me to believe ages as low as 3 are permitted.I would also think with adult supervising/holding child;leniency will be given. I still haven't received ours cruise doc's.grrrrrrr...I think I'm becoming my travel agents worst nightmare.One phone call a day whether she likes it or not;but still keeping upbeat.I just keep thinking about the end result-the big picture-the light at the end the tunnel.Heh,how about a little help here?!?!?

Hello everyone!!
We too, have not yet received our documents. Anxiously awaiting them....
Sounds like we have a good group of DISers going and am looking forward to the DIS meet,

 

[plutojudy]

wenabre and Katdb, are you planning to cruise again next year? We would like to meet up with you again.

 

[beschultz]

Four short weeks left!

I feel like the "Little Engine That Could"
I'm on my way up that last "mountain" of days-

I think I can
I think I can
I think I can
I think I can

Four whole weeks - I don't know if I can make it.

 

[Jillie]

I still have not received our cruise docs...none of the seven families we are traveling with have received them either!!
It is a rainy(soon to be snowy) day here in NH...makes me long for those warm, tropical days onboard the Magic....less than four weeks to go now!

 

[plutospup]

Despite today's snow, I started getting my short sleeve shirts out of winter storage. The suitcases will soon need to be filled!

 

[wenabre]

Hi,

Is everyone starting to pack or plan , are the lists hung on the fridge with care, are the stick up notes all over the house reminding you what you need to use now but also take with you, is your purse full of bits or paper with last minute ideas?.......Ok then you are still in stages 1&2 of the pre cruise state. In case you are wondering stage one is all the above and stage two is with added anxiety attacks !!

Katdb and I are in Stage 2, but with the help of zantac, we are doing OK so far. Before we can even pull out the suitcases and start actually putting things in them, we will be having house guests for a week. We have two teenage girls on exchange from New Brunswick on a Senior Band Trip and its going to be interesting with three girls in one bathroom in the a.m. , but no one uses mine!! Should be a fun week, if not long.

To PlutoJudy : As Kaighley will be attending University this autumn, I am not sure what our plans will be for next year. We will be going to WDW this summer for the first two weeks in August before she leaves for U of G. My Mom and I are contemplating a Princess cruise in Jan as a friend is trying to organize a group and get a really good price, but nothing definite yet. When are you thinking of going again?

To Dragon Lady: I definitly think your P----'s plan is definitly a start in the right direction re the 'buttering up' situation, but another good idea is the printing of stickers for other family members whose computer is acting up( just a thought)!

To AngelaJ: So you think you can do it with one foot tied behind your back, well bring it on, oh and by the way, ...you First!!
Tell me what are some of your ideas, if you will?!? You aren't by any chance using this " Docs haven't arrived " has a way to get out of this contest are you?? Because if you wish to admit "de-feet" now, I'll understand and let you off.. , nudge nudge!!

Well its back to scrubbing the Bar-b-que in between snow flurries. I am determinded that I will either bar-b-que tonight or we eat the meat raw.

In two more days we can say "we are cruising this month"

 

[Jillie]

I went thru all of the summer clothes with both DD's and then went shopping yesterday with another Mom and her 14yo DD. We found some great summer clothes ON SALE for them. All in all it was a successful shopping excursion....I can't wait for the real "excusions" though. Also found polo type shirts for mu DH on sale and one Hawaiian print shirt for him too...also on sale!!

 

[crushonjessica]

We also will be going on the 26th. My wife and myself. We are planning on doing the ruins tour in Cozumel. I also found out last Tuesday that the bannana boat is sold out.

We were also on the fire cruise last year. Nothing like being woken up early to put life vests on.

 

[johnf]

That's the nice thing about living here in Florida....It is ALWAYS in season for Hawaiian shirts and other "summer" clothes!

[Jillie]

Welcome Crushonjessica...hope you and your wife enjoy the cruise. HOPEFULLY NO FIRES THIS TIME!!!

John....we are wearing ski jackets and mittens today here in NH..snow last night and only in the low 30's and windy today. I am really ready for a Konk Kooler today!!!!

 

[Dragon Lady]

till I board the plane!!!!!!

I started to make my piles of stuff to bring. It includes two pillowcases for one of my colleagues two little girls. It was pretty cool to see a forty+ guy get sooo excited about getting disney characters to sign pillowcases for his girls, we had to run out and get colour coordinating cases as soon as I mentioned it!

Wenabre - labels are not a problem. Just e-mail me with Nana's address as well, and I'll take care of it. I was thinking of putting Disney Characters on them so I need Nana's favorite character.

Time to go tan, talk to you all later,

DL

[Jillie]

Woo Hoo!!!!!! My docs just arrived!! I am so excited..this trip will be here before we know it!! i cannot wait to look around the ship again...feel like there is so much more i want to do and see this time around.

 

[angelaj]

Still no docs for me. Wenabre, you may win the toe contest by default!

 

[scott62]

Our documents arrived yesterday! DW did not open the package since she thought it was a duplicate DCL promotional video. She was certainly surprised when she realized what the package really contained! This is seems more and more real everyday! We can't wait!

23 days to go!!

Scott, Karen & Christine

 

[wenabre]

AngelaJ, I don't want to win it by default, more by de-feet!! But if thats the case, shall I have Disney send you the bill for the pin??
Now have you been on the phone with your TA and double checked with them lately?? After all we do have dinner plans, don't we? Poor Dragon Lady !! I was talking to her last night and they got a foot of snow this weekend !! Did your Sister's docs come? Maybe we can smuggle you on board, how good are you at squishing down small?
Talk to you soon!
Wenabre
