7/18/2010 Mickey's Baltic Ballyhoo!! Part 4

[MrsG]

Just a quick hello. Glad all is well Marla. Good luck with restoring your files, Andrew.

Strange and useless fact:

Laura has spent a total of 134 days of her life on the Disney Magic & Wonder? That's not counting the ones scheduled for next year. Oh Boy! I am definitely in trouble.



And for those asking - I passed into Plat Status a long time ago. Our first sail was 9/4/98 - 09/7-98 Wow! I feel old. Sorry - that sounded like bragging. I wasn't. Just meant to say, since '98 - I've been that nuts about Disney. I knew I was obsessed but that's over a decade. Should I say OCD for DCL?

I now understand the $1 a minute your late rule. Can't say I was too happy about it but it only happened once and for 5 minutes. One of us was always on time after that.




Feel you. I hit a curb yesterday and dented my chrome rim. DH hasn't noticed yet but I had the morality patrol with me (April) and she keeps bugging me to tell Daddy. Do you all think I can get away with blaming someone else - like "I don't know Hunny, I have NO IDEA when that got there." SIGH - I doubt it - DD would definitely snitch on me.



OK - back to the cleaning. Anyone seen that darn cleaning fairy yet?

All but one of the mom's was on time today and that mom got a chewing out already on the 2nd day. At least she wasn't as late as yesterday. I'm guessing since the preschool is in the high school they can't charge extra for being late.

Wow, I guess you better come clean about the dent but do it when DD is not around. Just take him outside to show him so hopefully he won't yell....oh yeah, make sure some of the neighbors outside.

Wow, that's a lot of drinks of the day.
Our first cruise was Oct. 1999 on a 4 day on the Magic back when it sailed on Monday and Friday. We sailed 4 weeks after Hurricane Floyd and we were the 2nd sailing to go Castaway Cay since it was badly damaged during the storm. I remember being sad at all the landscaping that was destroyed because of all the salt water and then the sun beating down it the stuff was basically fried. They had put in well over $1M in new landscaping and you couldn't even tell. Also, we were supposed to have a deck 6 verandah cabin and when we arrived at port our cabin, along with many others, was out of commission since the cruise before us had 20 foot swells and water got into the cabins thru the verandah doors. We were put in a cat. 9 on deck 2, since we were on a CM rate I couldn't complain about our cabin change since it was booked knowing we could be put in any cabin. So even after all that we still keep coming back.
We liked it so much we went back in Feb. 2000 on a Wonder 3 day, that left of Thursday, along with my parents and they put us in a cat. 4. Since we also had friends sailing with us, we put DH in their cabin (on the reservation) and my parents, DD & I were in the other cabin and we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the port to get our cat. 4 cabin. That meant DH could sleep in our cabin. We had a blast on that cruise even tho it was cold.

So there you have our first cruises on each ship.
Look what you started Laura. I think the others should tell us about their first DCL cruise.

Advert breaks!!

Wow...a whopping 2 whole posts today. We certainly are a 'talkative' bunch today....NOT!

Hope everyone has had a good day. I don't like this fall weather we are having right now. I want it to be a bit warmer.

 

[Caropooh]

Even funnier is the fact that you posted both cabins wrong not just 1. Wonder how many times you are going to want to head to the other side of the ship because of this small error. Your family will have to put lo-jack on you in case you get lost going to the wrong cabin.

Well, I knew that the cabin numbers were the same, just different decks!
I'm sure you will help me find my cabin too! If I follow you, I'll be headed in the right direction!

'Morning and happy TGIF back at ya.

Well the time I posted there had only been 2 posts yesterday. I can't help it that you looked this morning and then there were 5 posts and 2 of those were mine and 1 was Caro. I wasn't counting mine just what was posted before mine. But you can now post back so we will have more today, it's been way too quiet on here lately.

I have very little to talk about I am very disapointed with how DCL has been handling my wailists!

I am waiting for the Disney Dream Info at the end of the month to be announced & see if anything is of interest to me & if I can get a ressie that is acceptable to me.

I prefer to travel with DCL, but if that does not work out for me I have found out that substitution is acceptable!

Other than that we ordered a new Dodge Avenger (Buy American) for the kids to use & it is due to come in this month!

It is the first of the month so I am doing financials & listening to the soundtrack to the Rocky Horror Picture Show

Ordered a car for the kids to use, that's a scary thought.
I keep going back and forth if I want to get another car for up here and leave one in FL full time. It depends on which day I think on what the outcome is. I really want another old Mustang, but can't find a reasonable one around here or if I do find one it needs tons of work. But then I wouldn't mind getting another SUV for either up here or down there. It's all so confusing.

So do RHPS & financials go hand in hand?
