Any 10-16-04 cruisers yet?

Sandy: Paradise Point is a nice view of the ships. But, I wouldn't book it through DCL. It is right across the street from the dock. Go and enjoy a bushwacker.

Had a busy weekend. We got a lot more packing done yesterday.

 

[Zandy595]

Denine ~ Why wouldn't you book Paradise Point through Disney?

 

[tevagirl]

............and what's a bushwacker? Or who?

 

[Zandy595]

I do know about the Bushwacker.

It looks and tastes like a milkshake with its whipped cream and nutmeg topping but its a creamy blend of 5 liqueurs.

That's what their web site says.

 

[tevagirl]

Hmmmm....I think I might have to get Bushwacked.

In the past we have simply taken a taxi to Coki Beach to swim, sun, snorkle, etc. Coki is within walking distance to Coral World.

The last time my kids were 10, 7 & 4. All of them had a great time. It wasn't crowded.

If you do go out on your own, keep an eye on your time. Traffic can get thick in the afternoon as passengers head back to the ships.

Happy Birthday Teva Girl !!!!!!!!

Yes, you are........jule

 

[tevagirl]

I knew I shouldn't have told you about this board.

 

[Denine]

Sandy: The only reason I say not to book Paradise Point through DCL is that it is within walking distance and you can do it cheaper on your own. The Bushwacker's are really yummmyyy!!!!

Happy birthday Denise!

We have taken an excursion to St. John. It was an eco hike and was very interesting.

Mostly, we just walk into town and shop plus go to Paradise Point and have a bushwacker. It is also tradition to stop at Wendy's for a frosty. It is also walking distance.

 

[Zandy595]

Denine ~ According to DisneyCruise.com and the Paradise Point Tramway site both charge $15 for adults and $7.50 for kids. However, if you can walk to it easily we'll probably do it on our own.

Denise!

Has anyone gotten excursion information in the mail? We haven't. Who's supposed to send that out, your TA or DCL?

Hi fellow cruisers,

Again I find myself neglecting to lurk as often as I would like. I did peruse back a few pages to get caught up. Nice to see the excitement is really growing.

Happy birthday Denine!!

Sandy: Thanks for the email about the signs (It helped remind me to get back on the boards and check our our cruise thread) thanks also for the signs, check is in the mail, really.

Donna: How ironic! Our children our the same ages! I sent you a PM with more details. My dd is an istant messageaholic. I will let her know about more teens on the cruise.

Lisa and Julebobo: It sounds like you both also have DD's that are in around the same age. Our other cruise friends from Minnesota (Mattfisch and boardwalk4me) also have dd's that are similar in age. We will be take over by teen age girls!!!

Julie: I sent you a Pm for the cruise list. Thanks for being the keeper of the list.

Well, the excitement mounts!!!

Anyone staying up late at the Radison on Friday evening??

I will try to become more dedicated to this board as we close in on the embarkment date.

[Julebobo]

Doug, Glad to hear your bringing along another DD teenager. It is my friends granddaughter she will be 16. She is shy so maybe we can plan a meet for the girls, Lisa's DD too....julebobo

Hi Princeses!

Mekayla and I are going to make our 56 day chain today. She had a nasty stomache thingy this morning, so I am skipping work and playing Princess Nurse.
I like the celebrity cruise's commercial where the guy goes on and on about how reacclimating to this world is a challenge, 'cause he was treated so well on his cruise. This is my DD7's first cruise and I keep telling her it will be so nice when I get home (on the DCL) and get to be treated as I should! (Like the Princess I am) I think we will have to meet up with you guys at Paradise Point for the Bushwackers Sounds like just the thing! I have three Princess costumes for Her Highness, hope that's enough. We're doing the MNSSHP and trick_or_treating at Sea World before the cruise I'm gonna be Halloween-ed out before we even get home for Halloween. I think we'll have to do the Halloween cruise some-day. It's my most favorite holiday!! Mekayla wants to add her own little people here to say hi! so, there ya' are! She picked 'em herself. Sandy, we may have to order door signs from you, as ours aren't turning out so well. Still taking orders? I'll PM you. Bye Princesses! Hot Diggity Dog...56 more days

 

[Zandy595]

Well, we survived Hurricane Charley. Actually we were only under tropical storm and tornado warnings. Other than the wind and a few sprinkles this evening, it was a pretty nice day. We usually get bad thunder storms every afternoon this time of year, but not today. They canceled school so DS had fun playing outside all day.

WldWcnWmn ~ Yep, still taking orders. I'm even doing signs for other cruises now.

 

[tiggerfantoo]

Sandy, It sounds like you are keeping busy with your sign making. I can understand why ~ they are beautiful and make a nice souvenier.


My DM and DB received mail from DCL yesterday telling them all of the shore excursions that are available. I hope I receive them when I pick up my mail today. It will seem more "real" to me when I start receiving stuff from Disney. Right now, it feels like a dream.

I'm glad that you didn't have any bad weather from the hurricane. I wonder how badly WDW was hit. Looking at the map on tv, it looked like the hurricane went right over the Orlando area.

[Zandy595]

I haven't heard about WDW and the hurricane on the local news yet. Whenever anything happens there they always do a story on it. If I hear something, I'll let you know.

I haven't gotten shore excursion info yet either and I'm a little . I called my TA and they said they ran out and that I should call DCL. DCL said they have plenty of excursion brochures and always keep the TA's well stocked. I asked if they could sent me one and they said no, it was the TA's responsibility. If I didn't know (from being on DCL previously and the DIS) that I could book my excursions 60 days out I'd probably miss out on something I really wanted to do.

WldWcnWmn ~ I added a couple new pictures to my Disney Cruise Door Sign album <A HREF="http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4286691109"><IMG SRC="http://www.imagestation.com/images/is/community/this_album_button.gif" BORDER="0"></A>
