7th January 2007, 4 Night Wonder Cruise

[Dalpal]

Thanks for all the info Betsy.

The water parade is something that I haven't seen yet and I would like to see that sometime soon.

You know, doesn't matter how many times you go to Disney there are still things you haven't seen or done.

Amazing isn't it.

This is what I love about WDW..it never gets old..because they are always changing it in some way....

It will also take me quite awhile to stay and try everything....So Im good to go! ....Im really surprised that Mike has agreed to stay at WL...He has always said we will be staying at a mod. because of the cost....
But I think this being the boys first time ANYWERE..(except the beach in MD) he wanted it to be super special...AND they are cowboys and indian, shoot em up....Kind of boys...So I think it will really WOW them!

Betsy, I'm sure that boys will be thrilled with that resort.

It's really cool looking.

So far I haven't been able to bring myself to move up from the value resorts. It's not really that I don't have the money available to do it, I just can't justify the cost when I really only use the room to sleep in.

But that's why they have all levels of resorts. To keep everyone happy.

Dance classes are starting up again tonight.

Space has been found in the local ballroom dancing studio, so we will be back at it again tonight.

Good thing, because I could use the exercise

Hi Betsy & Robin

I hope you're having a great day

Betsy - your plans to stay at the WL sound great, I think the boys will love it

Robin - I'm with you on the value resorts, we spend so little time there that it would be a waste of money. We loved our one night at the Contemporary, and would love to stay one night at the Poly, but we just love the Pop Century, it's such a fun and funky resort

Well I started my diet today, I've got a stone (14 lbs) to lose for the Summer, I just hope I can motivate myself, especially as I haven't any trips booked

It's chilly here too, we're expecting snow on Thursday (brrr), I'll just have to watch my holiday video to remind me of what the sun and warmth were like

Mandy

 

[Cruisin]

Good luck with your weight loss Mandy.

I hope to lose a few pounds this year too.

 

[Dalpal]

I like the values too ....
Well lets say I like Pop too...Im not thrilled with the ASRs...
As for mods....I REALLY liked POR. .But have stayed there so many times already...We were going to stay at CBR, before we decided to try the WL.....
I'd just like to try out all of them...and I have to say that I do like to spend time..in the lobbys and just hang around them in the evenings, befor going to bed...of course Im not sure how long we will be able to do that this time...
I DO think I read about a story telling time around the fireplace in the evenings. The boys LOVE stories....and I think they will like the guyser going off every hr.

Good luck ..losing your weight Mandy...Im still not back to normal. ..BUT Im not trying as hard as I could either. ...I AM using my treadmill more ... I just have to stop eating so badly...

Thanks Betsy, my problem is that I love my food especially desserts. I think I'll start excercising when the weather gets warmer

When do you think you'll cruise again Betsy ?

Hi Robin - I hope you're OK

Kelly - Where are you ?? I'm missing you loads, I hope Chad had a great birthday

Have a good day everyone & keep warm

Mandy

 

[Cruisin]

Good morning Mandy, or should I say afternoon where you are

I'm not much of a dessert person myself. But I make up for it with other things.

I'm doing great these days. I'm feeling much better. Whatever was wrong with me has disappeared for the moment and I hope it stays away. I'm still going for
the test the doctor scheduled though.

My son Alex will be home this week, don't know how long he is staying for sure but I will have to drive to Toronto tomorrow or probably Thursday to pick him up.

He doesn't have to be back to work again until the next week on Friday.

Have a great day everyone.

Kelly, I miss you too. Don't you disallday anymore Where are you? Hope everything is going well with you and your family.

 

[mandymouse]

Robin - that's great news that you are feeling a lot better, and I bet you are so excited about seeing your DS, I know you miss him and I bet he'll be looking forward to some of his mom's home cooking too

Mandy

 

[Cruisin]

Yes, I'm glad that Alex is coming home.

He called and said he was coming tomorrow now but unfortunately he won't be able to stay as long as he was originally planning.

He accepted an extra shift and didn't think about the date when he accepted it. Now he will only be here until very early Sunday morning.

Oh well, any time is better than none.

Aww, what a shame, I'm sure you'll all make the most of his time back home

Yes, starting with a mother/son lunch on the way home from the airport

Good Morning all,

Its still very COLD here....

Hiya Mandy

When do you think you'll cruise again Betsy ?

Im really not sure......BUT if all goes well and I can talk Mike into going again (I only think I could if you all wanted to go again)...MAYBE...Sometime in 09....
You see we already plan on going to WDW with my DGSs in Sept of this year and the DGGs in June of 08....So the only time we could plan a just US vaca is in 09...so It would be probably spring, summer, or fall of 09...IF at all...A LONG time to wait, huh Unfortunately we couldnt afford a cruise with kids...


I dont know if I said anything on this thread,.... But my DA died a couple of days ago ....and today is the viewing, and Funeral..

So Ive been getting my DM ready and now I have to get into the shower and get myself ready...
I hope you all have a better day then I'll be having....

Hi Betsy

I am so sorry to hear about your Aunt I'm thinking of you and your family at this very sad time

Take care

Mandy

 

[disallday!]

Well I guess I have to officially change my name from "disallday" to
"nowhere2bfound". Sorry guys! Life has been really hectic!

Thanks for Chad's birthday wishes! He sends his thanks!

Betsy... So sorry you guys are going thru this. We are here for you!

Robin... nice ticker! My goal is to have one soon, key word is goal!

Mary... hey girl! Hope you are doing well!! How are the rest of the sisters?

Mandy... I love that pic of Chad and the girls, he's enjoying staying in touch with them. Good luck with the diet! And I miss you too!! Very much!

I miss all of you guys! I really do! I hope we can all meet again very, very, very soon! The kids talk about you all so much! I still can't get over how much we all "clicked".

Carolin is standing here... about to wet her pants... wanting me to post a big hello. She misses you guys too and wants to see you all. Tell Kerry and Becky she wants to definately hang out in the teen club with them on the next cruise. She thinks those two are "soooo cooool"!

Catch you guys later!

 

[Cruisin]

Betsy, hope that you all made it through the funeral okay today. Not a fun thing to do.

We waited a long time for our first TKer cruise so who knows, 09 might not be too far away

Hey 09 will be Rick's 50th birthday year, maybe we can celebrate with a Disney Cruise.

Hey, it's Kelly Nice to see you girl. I've missed you. Hope you can be slow down enough to pop in now and again.

I drove to Toronto to pick up Alex (my son) today. He is here until early Sunday morning and then he has to go back to the north again. Oh well, by then I might be glad to get rid of him again

Sad news here today. There was a car accident on Monday and today I found out the the lady who died was one of Alex's former scout leaders. She was only 44. She was a very nice lady (a bit strange but nice), and was involved in tons of community organizations.

She will definitely be missed by many.

RIP Scouter Linda.

 

[mandymouse]

Woohoo !! It's Kelly

It's great to hear from you

Carolin is standing here... about to wet her pants... wanting me to post a big hello. She misses you guys too and wants to see you all. Tell Kerry and Becky she wants to definately hang out in the teen club with them on the next cruise. She thinks those two are "soooo cooool"!

Aww, bless her well if she wants to hang with Kerry & Becky, you'll have to book something before Jan '09 as Kerry will be too old for the Teen Club

I'm so glad that the girls have kept in touch with Chad and that he likes the piccie

Betsy ~ I hope everything went well yesterday, thinking of you

Robin ~ Have fun with Alex and enjoy your few days together. So sorry to hear about his scout leaders accident, it seems like there's been a lot of sad news here recently, I hope that changes real soon

Well we've had proper snow for the first time this Winter, we're in for about 6 inches today (yuck I hate the snow).

Keep warm and well everyone

Mandy
