6/8/2008 June 8th 2008! Double Dip!

[misseulalie]

Great!!

I will put a deadline of...let's say of May 15th. That way, we well have time to shop and make sure we get enough gifts. Depending of the amount of kids,I will make a spreadsheet of names and ages of the kids and email it to those wanting to participate in giving treats. I will also need you to PM me your stateroom number so we know where to drop the goodies!! If you can also include an email address in your PM, so I can get you the spreedsheet.

If you don't want to make or buy a fish extender, I have seen people use dollar store tote bags (small size) WDW plastic bags, or anything else that can hold stuff!

Also, like the above poster, if you don't have kids and still want to participate, great!! Just let me know!!

Please, no pressure for anyone to participate. I know a lot of people have so much on their plates already, don't worry about it!!

 

[misseulalie]

So far, I only have 6 kids, and 3 Dis'ers who want to participate in the gifts to the kids...

Anybody else???

Remember, you don't need to spend much, dollar store has great stuff for goodie bags.

We are sooo ready for this cruise. Nicholas just spent 5 days in the hospital and we are so ready for this cruise. Not much longer!!!! Here's to staying well until then

Wow, "luv2boys"... I checked out Nicholas' website this weekend. Sounds like you've all been through so much. How's he doing?

luv2boys,

I am with you. I can't wait for this cruise...only 38 days, 11 hours and 16 minutes until the plane takes off!!!!

My thoughts are with your family and especially Nicholas. My family is really involved with the Ride for Kids every year. In fact, my parents have been the ride coordinators for Pittsburgh the last few years. If you're not familiar with it, the Ride for Kids is a motorcycle ride that takes place in cities across the country. The money we raise goes to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Last year in Pittsburgh, we raised $64,000. It's a lot of fun for a great cause. We usually have four or five current patients or survivors and their families join us for the ride. The looks on those kids faces is priceless!!!

Looks forward to meeting you and your family.

We are sooo ready for this cruise. Nicholas just spent 5 days in the hospital and we are so ready for this cruise. Not much longer!!!! Here's to staying well until then

I know Ride for Kids well. Not one in our area but other friends from St. Jude have participated in their hometowns. He still feels bad but we are working on it. Did lab work yesterday and has low potassium, so we'll treat that and see what happens.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you!
Only a few short weeks left...don't know about you, but my family has started a countdown!
Any of you veterans know where I can find luggage info on DCL website? Do they have limitations like airlines?

Hello! I am a little late in finding this thread but I wanted to join in since me and my family (DH, DS5, DS10, DS14) will be on the Wonder June 8 double dip and we are so excited! It will be our 2nd cruise, and we cannot wait to spend time on CC!

We'll be arriving in Port Canaveral the Friday before, and spending the day at the Kennedy Space Center on Saturday. After the cruise we'll be at AKV (we are DVC, SSR is our "home") for a few days after.

And...Happy Mothers Day to all the mommys!!

Welcome VegasPixie!

Hey VegasPixie, we (me, DH and DS12) will be at Kennedy Space Center on Saturday before the cruise too!

 

[VegasPixie]

Hey VegasPixie, we (me, DH and DS12) will be at Kennedy Space Center on Saturday before the cruise too!

Cool! We've never been there before and my oldest son is totally excited (he goes to a magnet school that focuses on aerospace). We're bummed that we'll miss the Space Shuttle Discovery launch, just 1 week before.

Have you been there before? If so, any advice on the tours? I'm not sure if we are going to do any of the guided tours.

Hey everyone!

It's been a while since I posted...WAAAAAY too busy with work, kids, life!!

LAST CALL FOR ANYONE WANTING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE KID'S GIFT SURPRISE!!!

Just PM me your children's info (name and age) and I will give to those participating.
Read the previous posts for more info...

Just a few more weeks!!!

 

[luv2boys]

got my cruise docs today!!!

 

[Disneylovers]

Lucky!!! DH just said, "that means ours will be coming soon" (but as far as I'm concerned, not soon enough!). Guess that means a trip to the lock box to get our passports. I can't believe it's only three weeks away!!!! (well, and a couple of days, tho' we're heading down on Saturday, so that's when our countdowns are set for). I'm working on "costumes" for pirate night, guess I better finish up!!
So, do tell, what all is in the packet?

 

[luv2boys]

it had the usual cruise docs, luggage tags, and a checklist. Now to not misplace them!!!

 

[Disneylovers]

Woo Hoo! Our docs came today. (and I'm enduring DH's "told you so")

 

[luv2boys]

do we have a final count of the people participating in the gifts? what are everyones plans before the cruise? Are we going to plan on meeting? The cruises are always more fun when you meet people!!!

We will be leaving home Friday afternoon and getting to the Radisson at the Port Saturday. Anyone else staying there?

 

[VegasPixie]

Is it too late to participate in the fish extender gift exchange? I'm so sorry, I haven't paid attention over the weekend and just realized that I missed the deadline.

I'll keep checking this board today, please let me know!

(I cannot PM misseulalie because I do not have 10 posts yet)

 

[kde175]

We got our docs on Friday!!! Only 18 days, 21 hours and 23 minutes until take-off...Can we go NOW????

 

[misseulalie]

Hey,

I am gonig to put together the list of kids tonight and get them to who ever will be handing out goodies. If you want to join, PLEASE PM me your info ASAP.

Guess What????

We just decided to take the June 12th, 3 day, so we are doing a back to back!!!!!

The Florida resident rates just came out, and they are cheap, cheap!!

We originally wanted 7 days but settled for 4. Now we have 7 days!!!!
The only problem is that the cat 9's we have booked are literally the worst rooms you can book. 2650, and 2652. Right next to the engine. Who cares, though-we are sailing again!!!!
