5/17/03 Eastern Cruise.. Who is going?

[UKANGEL]

I know the feeling....as if planning a wedding isn't enough excitment!..and the cruise too!

 

[SQUIGGLE]

Just 9 weeks from right now I will be at work being totally useless and thinking of what I may have forgotten to pack.
Is it true that UPS delivers on Saturday?

Boy, we have more snow today. May have up to 4-6 inches by 5 or 6 tonight when it stops. Enough is enough. Can't wait for this winter to be over.
Squiggle, can you send some sunshine and warm weather up here?

Donna

 

[UKANGEL]

.........and 9 weeks today Mark & I will have been married for 6 days! ..we'll be at HRH til Saturday then joinging you all on the cruise

 

[SQUIGGLE]

Donna, that sunshine & warmth is on the way! The northeast has had more than it's share of snow and cold this winter. I have family in southeastern PA and NJ. Seems every time I talk to them it is either snowing; just stopped snowing; or going to snow. YUCK!!!
Cheer up - just 9 more weeks!

[SQUIGGLE]

Oh! I just remembered. About 2 weeks ago I saw about 30 or 40 Robins. Since they don't winter here they must have been on their way to you! There's still hope.........

Signs of spring our showing themselves....yesterday before the additional 4 inches of snow...I saw a cardinal in our backyard and heard birds singing for the first time since October!!!!

We also had 4 very large turkeys come for a visit....that is rare around here!!!

There is a Florida Resident's Special on this date for categories 5,9,10,11. If you are a Florida resident and have already booked in one of those categories, you can call Disney or your TA and they will process a credit or if you are a FL resident and you are not currently booked in one of the aforementioned categories you may want to consider moving. We moved from Cat 10 to Cat 9 and received a $700 credit from the Early booking rate we received in October, 2002!

 

[mmouse37]

Thank you for the info.....I had also heard that and I called my friend who lives in Florida to continue her cruise another week (back to back. Sshe is booked on the 5/10 sailing) for the 5/17 sailing with us. She called Disney and they said there were no more FL Res rates available. This was two days ago that she called.

I am pregnant!!!! Just found out this weekend. That would make my due date around November 25th.

So, I will be 3 months pregnant when I board Disney Magic!

Please everyone pray that I will carry this one full term and not miscarry like the last one.

Does anyone know what kind of massages I would be able to do or not do, or what products I shouldn't allow to be put on my back during the massages aboard? I had bought some massage oil the last time on board and I saw on the box that pregnant women shouldn't use it. Just a little worried that I won't be able to do my usual massages on ship.

I called DCL and got the FL resident rate, but I lost my $200 credit on board (got that 'cause I booked this one on my last cruise). I got $340 credit back to my card. So, it still works in my favor.

CONGRATS and GOOD LUCK

If you have any doubts, DON'T DO IT!!!

Also, don't bake in the sun, just my opinion

So, a new little Mickey or Minnie ha? Best wishes, and i'm sure all our prayers will be with you.
2 months from now, we will be on our way to the Raddison. We'll be landing in Orlando around 5 p.m. Can't wait. I think that all my tax clients are getting sick of hearing me tell about my cruise.
Well, I need something to get me through April 15th.

It was a beautifu day here today, spent it working though trying to catch up. More to come I hope.

Well...I have bad news. I jumped ship and will not be able to cruise with all of you this year . I rebooked for next year on the March 13th Western. We are thinking of moving to sunny Florida and that is when their spring break is. If we stay in NY I may have to switch again, depending on NYS testing.

Have fun and think of me, as I will be thinking of all of you.

MMouse, I really was hoping to meet you. Have a great cruise.

Joanna

 

[mmouse37]

Joanna....so sorry to hear to had to cancel. Was also looking forward to meeting you as well. I do understand and that is great that you might be moving to Florida...don't blame you after this winter.

Good luck and maybe will meet sometime in the future on a DCL cruise!!! I'll have a few drink in your honor onboard!!!

MJ

 

[donnabres]

Hi all, Joanna sorry you won't be going with us, but if you move to Florida think of the resident discount you may get on your future cruises.
Well, 2 months from today, we will be boarding the ship, not that I am anxious mind you.
Have a great day, and now we can say in less than 2 months....

Donna

 

[mmouse37]

Ok 5/17 cruisers....according to this link the FULL MOON will be on 5/16 so that should give us a few nights of bright MOON GLOW to admire up on deck if the weather is clear!!!

Just 2 more months.................
