So I"m finally working on cruise scrapbook pages....this will definitely build the excitement till it's time to go!!

Is everyone getting off the ship at Nassau? DH wants to go find a cigar store. I figured he can hang out with Sue when she makes her Starbutts run.

Starbutts!!!! Heck...I might go gambling again!!! There is a cigar store there.

I am getting off the ship only for the coffee run unless I see anything else interesting. You can hang with me Wendy if you'd like!

Hey everyone.... looks like I am joining you. Wanted to introduce myself. My name is Amy(just turned 45, yikes), mom to two beautiful girls who will be 10 and 7 at time of cruising. Daddy doesn't do disney and teaches, so can't get "'quiet disney time off-would have to go in summer or over a holiday", so just me and the girls. Have been doing a November trip since my littlest was 2. This is the kids first cruise. I cruised years ago. Originally was doing Sea World, Discovery Cove and WDW before a 3 night cruise on Nov 19th but the kids school schedule came out and they are off Friday the 13th, so this week works out better for me. We will be going to Atlantis for our Nassau day to swim in the pools and take in the beach. After the cruise, will then be heading to Sea World, Discovery Cove and WDW, staying at the new Bay Lake Towers for 4 nights.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you.

only bummer, right now there is a waitlist for early dining.. so cross your fingers that we get bumped up!!

oh, here is a link to my shutterfly book from my last disney vacation if you want to peek: http://community.shutterfly.com/gal...g2aOW7Ny5YgMU5mNE&emid=pbgallcom&linkid=link7

Hi Amy, welcome aboard! We have a great crew of folks here. Some of us are on a bounceback cruise from earlier in the year so we're already acquainted but looking forward to meeting new folks too. Took a quick peek at your pics, wow, you're very creative, and your girls are adorable
They will LOVE the cruise, so much to do and the kids clubs are a blast, many of us have trouble getting our kids to stay with us!

Hey Scootch! Welcome aboard! We're so glad to "meet" you.

If you're interested, we're planning on doing a FE exchange, and a DIS meet or two while we're on the cruise.

I look forward to getting to know you over these next few months before our trip!

 

[anetnmike]

Welcome Amy! Glad to have you with us! Careful, cruising is addictive!
It's a whole different experience than WDW and a whole bunch of fun! I am sure you and your girls will have a blast! My problem is I can't decide which I love more

 

[scootch]

Thanks for the warm welcome. We are ready for a bit of change from the usual WDW. We love it, but this past October we did a weekend trip to NYC and realized it was time to "spread our wings". Looking forward to getting to know all of you too!

 

[disneydarling07]

Welcome scootch!!!
I have a 7yo dd too! Hopefully they can become fast friends!

Has anyone ever done the bridge tour? Or do you have plans to? I think it's something we might want to try this time.....

 

[anetnmike]

Are they still doing the bridge tour? I thought I read somewhere that they don't do it anymore because they made the workout/spa area bigger and that took up the space that the tour was given in. I could be wrong so don't quote me. It would be cool to do it if we could.
It would be SO much more fun if the bounceback were a 7 day

You may be right...I can't find it mentioned online anywhere. I'm going to put up a separate post and ask the boards...stay tuned!!!

Well, Kathryn knows alot. She has been on a bunch of cruises and knows the scoop for sure.
sorry Wendy!

 

[mem22]

Hate to say this.....but.... well, we're starting to pack for our 7 day Western in like 11 days!!! I totally know you're all cursing us right now....I'm so evil!

Mike

 

[Alice_on_WONDERland]

EVIL doesn't even begin to scratch the surface!!!

I AM SO JEALOUS!!!

THREE CRUISES IN ONE YEAR?!?!

Are you a celebrity or something?!

(Have a great time - just think of all of us poor land-lubbers back home THE WHOLE TIME! )

 

[mem22]

I'm sorry....I knew I would cause a problem.....I just had to let it out before I burst!! LOL

Yup this is our second cruise this year and the third will be in November with all of you!

Not rich at all and certainly not a celebrity . We have a daughter who is a cast member and we're taking advantage of the discounts while we can!!

Needless to say...we're really excited. Our first 7 day cruise.

 

[Psychodisney]

Hi everybody! I accidentally clicked crise meets and saw our date....
My DH and I will be joining you all along with our neighbors for our kid free trip! They had the bounceback deal so we decided to tag along and leave the kids at home! We'll be celebrating our 20th anniversary. Wish it was longer than 3 days-but hard to ditch the kids for too long! We're flying in Wednesday out of Milwaukee and staying at AKV to check it out.

Go White Sox!

 

[Alice_on_WONDERland]

PsychoDisney! I just LOVE that name!

I think you'll quickly find that you have joined up with a great bunch here. We're tons o' fun!

There has been talk about a FE exchange and a DIS meet or two...we'll keep you posted!

We're staying at the POP the night before.

 

[anetnmike]

PsychoDisney! Welcome! You will find a group of Chicagoland area folks here (and some Sox fans!) Happy Anniversary!I would love a kid-free trip!!!!! What an awesome idea!!! Oh DH....

Mike, you know we love you and hate you at the same time
You guys are going to have such a great time with your big group family going.
of course it would be SO much more fun if WE WERE ALL WITH YOU
