6/13/2009 Western on Magic

[DisneyBaby2004]

We are staying until Friday at Saratoga Springs Resort. Haven't stayed there yet, so pretty excited.

We have stayed there before. I loved it. It's was so peaceful.

Will you bring your family to the dismeet the first day? Wondering if that will give kids a chance to meet-or if they are just setting up their own meeting spots.

I am bringing my family.

I thought someone said Midnight Sat was the final decision hour. My brother is an installer but hates his job so I really don't think he will mind. I, on the other hand, was looking to switch to AT&T for cable & internet but waiting for the weather to get a little warmer since they would have to crawl under my house.

Hope for the best!!!

Agree!

We ate dinner at Boma on our last WDW trip, interesting food, those zebra domes are scrumptious.

Yes, we love a lot of places. But Boma is one of my DH's fav's.

Where is everyone eating for Fathers day!!

I would say yes. But it is so crazy that day and I am warning you my kids sometimes seem shy and other times will talk your heads off.

Usually Brandon will try to get in the Goofy before it gets that lovely "haze" over it. So if it's nice out, he might want to stay outside, but I'd like him to meet some kids his age right away.

If it rains for sail away you can blame us-our cruise in Dec was one of the few times it was nice weather for the sail away. We somehow manage to have a downpour almost every time.

For those staying at the Radisson-you will enjoy it. We stayed there a lot the night before the cruise, but just recently switched to using our DVC points. The free shuttle is great and the places to eat close by make it nice and convenient.

I guess we are the only ones staying at AKL the night before--anyone else?

I planned to go and start my search for FE gifts today, but it is raining so hard I'm not sure I will leave the house. Brandon is at a science fair today that includes a sleep over, so I hoped to get a lot done, but I hate running around in the rain. I have to come up with something to give for all 3 of our rooms-unless my mom has ideas of her own. She hasn't been feeling well, so I hate to stress her with anything. If only there was a website with FE gifts without hunting around. I wish I was crafty like everyone here-so mine will be the noncrafty gifts.

Just found out my older son got an actuarial internship for the summer. What a relief! With the economy the way it is the internship he had last year was cut from the budget and I worried he would not find anything that was a paid position. One less thing to worry about. He has one more year of college to go. I think I noticed a few college age "kids" on the first page. It's nice when there are some people that age to do things with-of course he'll have his girlfriend, so even if there was no one else I wouldn't have to worry.

10 weeks is so scary - I feel like I have so much to do.

I know right!!

We will be at Hollywood Studios that day- we are eating at Hollywood and Vine for breakfast- not sure about dinner yet. DH keeps talking about Sci Fi Diner which we love- so I may try to get something now.

Last night I was getting my hair cut and it turned out the woman waiting was going on a cruise Saturday. My hairdresser said she should ask me for tips since I've cruised. Well the lady says that she is going on DCL and I probably have not done that. I asked which ship and she didn't know. So I asked how many nights-7-well that's the Magic. she was not the least bit excited at all. Said her mother made all the arrangements and since she never cruised did not know if she'd like it and did know anything about it at all. I assured her she'd have a great time.

Can you imagine not being excited for a Disney cruise? And I'm sure no one here can imagine going onboard knowing nothing about it! I would have recommended the dis, but I got the impression she would not have checked it out anyway.

The more posts there are here, the more excited I am

We are staying at the Radisson on Friday night before the cruise- we actually just found out Jordan's kindergarten graduation is June 9th now, we thought it was the 11th and we were going to leave afterwards. Now we may leave on Wednesday night after work, drive about 5 hours, then we would be at the Radisson by around dinner on Thursday and have all of Friday to relax. I have to convince DH!! I'm pretty good at doing that, so we'll see.

There are so many people that are like that- I think we are the minority in the planning/Dismeets/FE exchanges etc.

My sister and BIL are leaving for a 5 day cruise tomorrow- I found the cruise for her and helped her book excursions. She is so not like me "the organized sister", I'm sure she'll have a good time, but I like to not miss things and always be prepared.

Me too, I think DH can't stand to hear another word!! LOL

I know! When DH comes home from work, he wants to talk about work. Work, smurk..when he is done, I say "can we talk about the cruise now!"

I plan Disney talks too!! LOL

 

[BethA]

I think all the planning and meeting people here is such a big part for me. Even though we have done a lot of Disney cruisesI am always looking here for new information and ideas. I never realized everyone does not obsessively plan!!

 

[Brooklyn]

LOL we did not even think about fathers day!!! My poor husband! For fathers day he has spent 2 years in the hospital, 3 in Iraq and now we forgot about his this year!!! We were both laughing about it last night! At least year we were boarding the Disney Cruise here in SoCal. I kind of with we were on the cruise again this year bc they offered a great spa package for dads @ a really good price! Oh well...instead we will be running around a theme park!

Thanks for the 10 week notice! It took all I had to get up and go to the gym this am. Once I say that I knew I had to go!!! When I read it I said to myself..."Keep your eyes on the prize!" Lol

Are we planning on a group oicture??? I know a lot of DIS groups do it on pirate. It is fun to have shutters take some really great group shots.

As for meeting on the 1st day...I am not sure we will make it. We do not get picked up till 12 from our hotel. By the time we get to the port, checked in, lunch, kids club check in, picking uo alice tickets and all we might not make that 3pm deadline. We will be sure to find you somewhere on the ship! LOL

We are off to Disneyland today! We have 15 of us going today! The kids out number the adults....oh joy!

 

[Texas Disney Fan]

We are lucky, both my DH and I love the whole Disney thing and taking trips. So we both want to talk about it and help make plans.

Have fun at the park!
