6/26/05 Wonder 4-night Anyone going besides me?

[mecook]

Which excursion did ya'll book? I think we'll be doing the air conditioned van tour of the city, and then back to the ship for lunch. DH has a bad knee and can't walk much, so I'm sure he'll want to rest after lunch. DD and I "might" get back off w/o him, but I don't know about that. Swimming would probably be the best choice for us. She wants to see Atlantis because one of her favorite Mary-Kate and Ashley videos, "Holiday in the Sun", was shot there, but I don't plan on buying into that aquarium tour. We've been to lots of aquariums already.

only 12 weeks from tomorrow!!!

We also booked the the historic city tour. Can't wait

 

[Dis]

We booked parasailing at castaway cay

 

[mecook]

Hey "Dis"!
I "want" to be brave enough to parasail, but I just don't know that I can.
I would love for my DD11 to tandem with me, but I know she won't buy into that idea at all. I made her ride a helicopter with me last fall and she swore she'd never do that again.

Maybe that's what I ought to do for my 44th birthday (which is sailing day).....break out of my comfort zone and live a little!

I've just about talked myself out of even trying to snorkle at CC. I don't think I can stand the mouthpiece for that long.

I have a friend whose little girl coined the phrase "I just can't want to"....that's kinda' me right now.

Later,
Melanie

If it's the van, "cool" we'll probably go together.
Melanie

 

[Dis]

If you decide to parasail, call right away because it fills up fast. My 15 year old son will be going by himself, and I will tandem with my 10 year old. My wife says she will stay firmly planted on the ground.

 

[fairytalelover]

I did parasailing once in Cyprus and it was wonderful!! Not scary at all and I am a scaredy cat! I am afraid of everything. I dont even go on roller coasters. So if I can handle it anyone can.

Look for the newlywed couple

 

[aslflgator]

Three of us (my mother, grandmother and me) are going too! Great cruise to celebrate my Grandmother's 89 birthday!

Any single people going on cruise??

Can't wait!

60 More Days Left!!!! :thewave:

 

[mecook]

Hey FTL, are you perhaps just a little bit excited???
I can't tell by your last post. Ha ha!
My DD says that we're excited, but not THAT excited. Maybe it has something to do with a Cinderella wedding on 6/17???
I booked the van tour for 3 and the CC parasailing for me. I finally got up the nerve!
Melanie

 

[mecook]

Everybody but "notbernie"....check your PM for a message from me.
Notbernie, it wouldn't let me send you one.

LOL!! Yes we are VERY VERY excited for many reasons:

1. We are having a Disney Fairytale Cinderella Wedding on 6/17/05
2. We are flying to WDW and going to all the parks and relaxing at our favorite place, Port Orleans for a week.
3. Then we get to go on a cruise and neither one of us have ever been on a cruise. Not to mention that we are going on a Disney Cruise which makes all the sweeter since we are both Disney fanatics!

So those are the reasons that I am a tad bit excited!! :thewave:

 

[fairytalelover]

48 More days left until our exciting Cruise!!!

 

[notbernie]

Hey did you guys see that you can now book your reservations on the Disney website a head of time now? I was sweating thinking about rushing around to get the girls registered and Palo reservations but we did all that online and we can just relax on board now.

Fairytalelover, it will be here before we know it!

 

[Dis]

We really like the new look of the website. We also have pre-registered our youngest at the club and made our Palo Ressie. It is nice to check on your reservation and hope to see that elusive upgrade. I wonder if it will be harder to get ressies at boarding?

 

[mecook]

I had some trouble getting 'in' until my TA got it fixed for me. I signed DD11 up for the Lab, reserved van tour of Nassau for all 3 of us, and reserved a
1 PM CC parasailing appt. for myself.

DIS - what time do ya'll parasail? I could only choose from 9, 12, 1, or 2.

Everybody got their cabin # and seating now?
I'm in 1036 with first seating
Fairytalelover is 6000 with second
Notbernie is 6516 with ?
DIS?
Snowiit?
Aslflgator?

I was reading some posts this week about "linking" dinner times with other DISers. Anybody on first seating interested in linking with my family?
From what I understand, each party would call DCL and say "I'm res. # and would like you to link me with res#".
Hey, we might not hit it off, but we probably could do worse with total strangers that are NOT as Disney-crazy as ourselves!

Melanie

 

[notbernie]

Mecook, we are the late seating as well. We thought the girls would be better off seeing the early shows.

 

[mecook]

Hey guys!
Where is everybody nowadays? I happened to see a "snowiit" post in the last day or two, but the rest of you have gone AWOL!! You're not supposed to come on less as the time draws closer!

35 days from this very minute (5/22 at 5:15 PM Central), we will be ON OUR CRUISE!!!!!
It will be 6:15 their time and I'll be at our first dinner. Just hoping and praying that we don't get seasick....not even once.

Any of the rest of you have your cabin # and main/late seating yet?
I'm still open to linking dining ressies with anyone that has early seating with me.

Melanie

 

[notbernie]

Mecook, I'm on every day but I'm more of a reader than a poster! Of course there is always my husband who posts under the same ID, if you read anything about cigars......I'm not the one posting! It's funny because every year when I come to Florida to see my sister, starting a week before we leave I'm on the phone to her everyday talking about what we're going to do etc...my husband always gives me a hard time about it! I don't care though because it's so much fun. I'm hoping to keep my anticipation in check for a couple more weeks just so I don't drive myself crazy!

Looking forward to meeting everyone!
