Ahoy November 12th, 2009 Cruisers!!

wow Alice! that is really awesome that you are going there to teach.
Perhaps I should type properly? I think that improving education is very noble.

Well, I'm NOT the grammer police! Even I make those mistakes. But thank you for the compliment! I have ALOT of work ahead of me, but it will all be worth it. This cruise we're taking in November should provide a nice bit of respite before all the planning and preparations for the big trip.

Great Job Alice!!! Very noble indeed!! The cruise will be a nice break before heading out!

Keep working on those plans Tracey!! Before you know it we'll be seeing ya at the Radisson Pool!

Newsflash....we may be heading out on a 7 day Western before our bounceback!!

I'm not liking this work stuff!!

Great News Harmony!! Congrats!! I agree...the cruise will be a much needed break before you are hard at work.

So what is everyone doing the day before the cruise?? It doesn't look like we will be heading to the parks first after all. What hotel is everyone staying at?

I am soooo done with this weather!!! My little boy's 2nd birthday party is this Sunday...and they are predicting snow again!!!

I'm trying to come up with little things to do this summer to make the time fly by faster. Museums, zoo, baseball!!!!

Monday is check in day!!! I'm calling right away to apply the bounceback rate and mail in my voucher. Here's hoping we all chose the right date!

 

[Alice_on_WONDERland]

Thanks for all the well wishes!

We're staying at the Radisson too. We should get in to Port Canaveral late afternoon. Last time we headed to Rusty's for dinner down by the port. I think we'll do that again, but maybe try a different restaurant. I saw Fish Lips and Grill's right close by. Oh! And we MUST make our run to the liquor store to stock up for the cruise. We did Ron Jon's after the cruise last time. If you haven't been there, make time to check that place out!

LUCKY! How'd you work that one out?

We are flying in from Chicago the day before and staying at the Radisson. We are hoping to arrive around early afternoon.

Time is going by pretty quick-it is almost Easter! Before we know it the kids will be out of school! DS is in baseball already.
We will be doing the Zoo for sure! Chicago's Science and Industry Museum has a Harry Potter movie exhibit coming in April (invite is still open Mike and Laura!) not to mention the museum itself which is also fun, the Shedd, visits to cousin/aunts&uncles, oh and DH and I still need to work to pay for all this stuff!

Happy Birthday to your little guy Wendy!

Hey Alice, we aren't sure when we're getting in yet but we've already made plans to eat at Fish Lips. Another couple on our last cruise ate there and liked it so we thougth we'd try it. Last time we ate at Grills, it was nice too. Really nice watching the ships leave!
About the 7 day, our daughter is a Disney College rep and is graduating from Syracuse this year so this may be our last chance at using her discount (but she has to be with us for us to get the discount). She hasn't cruised with us before because she was always in school or working but we're going to try to figure out a way to fit it in. Keeping our fingers crossed here

Maybe we should just make our first official Dis Meet at Fish Lips the night before! Either that, or by the pool at the Radisson since it seems that is where everyone is staying!

How cool! That would be so great for your family if you all were able to cruise together. Best wishes to you all!

The first DIS meets at the Radisson or Fish Lips- that's a great idea!

 

[disneydarling07]

We are still deciding where to stay. Sue has a timeshare near WDW. We need to get together and work out the details.
But nothing wrong with driving over to meet at the Radisson or Fish Lips!

Hey Harmony! I read your trip report (finally). That was an awesome story and a great trip report! I am so glad everything is well with you now.
I love reading trip reports. It's like taking a mental vacation. and the price is right!
I have deceided that all of the list making people and obsesive trip planning people are normal and it's ok to be one of themThere are plenty here on the DIS boards!

Why thank you! Sometimes I can't even believe it all happened. I am so thankful it's all over and I'm as healthy as can be.

Welcome to the club my friend. We will welcome you with open arms.

Thank you!
I am among my people and I am happy here

 

[elmo2200]

Yes, I booked today!!!!! My Travel agent was going to be on hold for ages so he will email me my booking confirmation. We are trying to get early dinner seating too. Never have before because we are night owls but we wanted to join the dinner party. My husband already asked me if I'm gonna obsess, I said no!!!!! Surely you guys know me better than that!!!!! But I will absolutely try to not obsess for his benefit!!!! Glad to cruise with such a great, crazy gang!

 

[3littleHalls]

We just booked this morning with the bounceback!! Cant wait!!

 

[3littleHalls]

Wanted to say "Hi" to my fellow peeps from the 2/8 cruise!!

 

[mem22]

Tracey....that is totally AWESOME!!! You're planning to stay at the Radisson, right? FYI...we're planning to go to dinner at Fishlips the night before. Brett and Deavon liked it and we went to Grills in Feb. so we decided to try Fishlips this time.

Hey 3littleHalls! Now there is four of us from the Feb 8th cruise!! You going to meet us all at the Goofy pool at 3?

 

[elmo2200]

mem22, I think we have plenty of time to make these decisions and should wait at least 3 or 4 months....
Ya right!!! I will probably start looking at Radisson and car rental prices after DH goes to work tonight!!!!
Just so you know, DD 14 says that you all are a bad influence on my OCD and I'm not allowed to play with you any more.
Seriously though I am going to reign in my OCD. It must be possible. I plan to just make magnets & FEs, check temps for Nov., check every car rental in FL, watch Radisson rates & schedule Radisson shuttle. My FEs are mostly handled already!!

 

[anetnmike]

Hey Tracey, if you do all of this tonight, what will you do tomorrow?
I am sure you will think of something!
Don't hold back the OCD-let it go! You are in great company here!
Our DISmeet will be so much fun! It's like a great big reunion with more new friends
This really needs to be a longer cruise!Too much fun for just 3 days!

Hello Folks,

The swirling snowflakes here in Ohio have inspired me to hop on the phone and apply my Bounce Back code! Now I just need to pop it in the mail.

I cannot wait for this trip! The wacky weather here is making it really difficult for me to be happy where I am at this moment!

....dreaming of Castaway Cay....
