9/18/04 Eastern Magic- We're in the home Stretch Now

[D. R. N.]

I will certainly try to come by the promenade lounge. We swung by the meet at our last cruise and met some nice people. My hubby is also a little uncooperative. He is a little shy.

Anyway, thanks for the welcome..

I understand what you mean about your DH.

I can't promise we would go to a second meet either. I would try, but DH doesn't like to have to follow a 'time schedule' and wants us to just relax and eat when we are hungry and rest when we are tired and hang out and have fun when we feel like doing that.

BUT I know the first one (3:00 on Saturday) will be no problem because there isn't much at all going on then on the cruise.

So we will be at that one for sure.

Welcome aboard Denise!!

 

[glindamood]

Welcome to the group Denise. I will add yuo to our list of cruisers and if you would like a copy of the list you will need to PM me your email address. Also, DH's and DD's first names could be added too.

2nd DIS meet - 12:30 at Lumiere's sounds great - even if you stop by and join us for an iced tea (or whatever). It gives us all a chance to get together with more time to visit.

The list - I need to add Denise and will mail it out later this afternoon.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Gail

I love the NEW topic title! It was giving me a chuckle when I saw the "early rollcall" -- not so early any more !

It is starting to seem real. I started laying some things out this weekend (and picked up so sundries at Walmart yesterday for the cruise).

So the second meet will be 12:30 pm on Monday at Luimere's for lunch! I will mention that one to DH after the Saturday one (don't want to 'over load' him with a schedule ).

AND if anyone is bored on Friday night and wants to kill some time on the last evening of the cruise, come by the Family Talent show and cheer on my little princesses for their tap dance to the music from the Disney movie "Newsies".

For those that I have your email for (sorry Bambi, can't find yours but if you send it to me again I will send the list) you should be getting 2 emails from me. The second one has the attachment (DUH!). Sorry 'bout that.

 

[westjones]

Thanks Gail! I got it!!!! Your are a sweetheart to do this!

BTW, isn't it nice to see the 'teens' in the count down clock instead of the '20's'!!!!!

[glindamood]

Loving the teens in the coutdown timers! There is only one more Eastern and then it is OUR turne!

 

[tracyl921]

Sorry, I just realized yesterday that I could change the title. I had forgotten that I started this post way back when

We were bored by the lack of entertainment on Friday night of our last cruise. I'll try to make it. I might even try to talk my kids to join in with a talent. Just prepare yourself, mine will be the ones singing their hearts out, and doing it badly.

 

[westjones]

We will be there to cheer them on too then! Tell them to join in the fun! I believe sign up for the talent show starts on Monday.

At least with singing you don't have to pack extra stuff. I have to pack 2 pairs of tap shoes!!!

Should we list our DIS names first with our real names underneath, or the other way? Just curious how everyone else is doing it.

Good Question.
I was just going to put my board name, because it includes my first name. I think maybe board name first, becaus ethat is what we are all most likely to recognize.

 

[glindamood]

I put my real name on my nametag but I am sure it won't matter. If I see a lime green Micky nametag I will say hello to who ever is wearing it, no matter what it says.

Another item on the 'Things that happen before our cruise' can be checked off - yesterday was the first day of school here. Actually, that list is getting smaller (or the items that do not pertain to the cruise is less). Labor Day and DS's first marching band performace are all that are left!

Have a great evening eveyone!

I know most of our fellow cruiser are coming the day of the cruise or the day before. Since my family and I will be at WDW a week before the cruise, I will be willing to pick up anything from WdW if someone would like anything special. This trip has been a long time planning and waiting for. Now it is just right around the corner. We are leaving 9/12 for our trip.

 

[westjones]

Hey fellow cruisers! It is now September! That means we are cruising THIS month!

It is getting closer and closer!

Well, everyone we have lots of work ahead of us today. We are expecting a visit from Frances by tomorrow - at least to some degree.

Good luck to all you Floridians. I am sure you will all be as busy as me and my family today regardless of your location since the whole state is practically in the possible track of the cane.

I can't stop thinking about the Bahamians. Poor folks. They seem so tiny on the map against this massive system. Don't forget them in your prayers tonight.

Well, this is over and out for me for now. I'll check in again as soon as possible.

Take care and talk later,

Denise

 

[glindamood]

May everyone that is in the path of Frances be safe!

 

[DisneyNutMary]

To any of our fellow cruisers in Florida, and to any of our relatives and friends who are in the path of Frances, you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. I hope all are safe and well.
