Wow- our thread was almost off the first page! What's that about?
LOL
Stacey-okay so I'm not that old... but sometimes I feel it! I'll soon be 37... so maybe I should just say I'm just too FAT, not old. Because something is doing it to me. LOL I just can't take 10-12hrs day after day out in the heat, walking and riding rides or slides and stuff. I need like a few days to recoup in between those! LOL
(but somehow I can manage going day after day in a row at WDW- figure that one out. Must be pixie dust keeping me going or something.
)
LOL at what your daughter said... like WHO else would be the one to do what you "left" for someone else?
Ohiominnie- what's up with swimsuits lately? Ruby's disney one was looking pretty ragged after only wearing it a few times on the cruise and yesterday at the waterpark it hit it's last leg... it was so stretched out and almost see thru in some areas because of stretching out and just hanging off her in places!- within an hour of being there I had to leave and take her to walmart to buy a new swimsuit! (she can't have her swimsuit like "see thru"... she's is in full blown puberty for crying out loud! LOL)
Finalized some things with the TA- even though our dates aren't out yet. I kinda wish we'd rebooked TWO weeks so we'd get the 10% discount and stateroom credit on both cruises but then we'd have had to put down double the deposit I suppose... in any case, we're all set with insurance now (they talked me into it because of the preexisting condition thing- we had to get insurance within 14 days of the TA getting the info about the rebooking) and when the dates come out they are already set to "try" to get the rooms we want. We're going to try for June 7th and June 14th since I'm not exactly sure when school will be let out that year (got next year's schedule and we're starting Aug 16th and getting out May 25th- with hardly ANY "breaks" throughout the year except Christmas)- who knows what will happen the next year though. They might be starting late and ending on May 30th! We like to do a few days at WDW before the cruise- so we'd have to take them out the last week of school to do the May 31st and June 7th cruise.
I hope all y'all aren't going to do the May 31st cruise- that would stink. If nothing "special" is planned that summer- the June 7th should be Eastern, June 14th western. (that's what TA figured, hope she's right LOL)
That would mean our youngest would celebrate her 8th birthday during the 2nd cruise.
I wonder if that means the first cruise she can go in the 5-7 age group in the club and then the 2nd cruise in the lab with 8-10's? Probably..
Anyway, we're going to try to get the "special" cat 7 verandah rooms (that are really like cat 6 except have the corner obstruction thing and are cat 7 so they are cheaper LOL) with cat 11's across the hall. I was going to do navigator's verandah- until I realized the pics I had seen originally were on Wonder with the longer oval opening...then realized on magic it's a circle and we wouldn't be able to see out while sitting- only standing. So nav verandah and/or verandah with metal all the way up to the railing was out! So we're going to try to get the "obstructed" view verandahs- and if we can't get that they'll try for reg. cat 6 ones I picked out on deck 6 that others had mentioned were quiet and such (midship deck 6) Anywho- point being that we're starting to really plan on this-even though it's like a million days in the future.
