Any 10-16-04 cruisers yet?

[Zandy595]

46°! Brrrrr! It was 82° and sunny here today. I love Florida!

Did everyone notice that we are finally under 200 days now?

 

[tevagirl]

My daughter noticed! I was over her house today and she mentioned it. My husband has also started his own count down. Every day I hear "you know there's only--fill in the blank--weeks left till the cruise....are we going to have enough money??" Every day. I think I might like to stuff him in Nancy's husband's cruise pants.

Yup, Yup, Yup! We noticed! We are sooo jazzed! Hey, anyone been on the Eastern before? I have a question about an excursion that's offered in St. John's - but I can't find it in the Disney info...... My daughter and I wanna' do the Dolphin/Stingray excursion...and I can't find it offered in the excursion sign up stuff. I know it exists, 'cause we've been to the web site for the company that offers it.... any help would be appreciated.

Also, what do you guys think about the little girls dressing up like princesses onboard? Is it "cheesy" and frowned upon, or is it accepted, and seen as cute? My DD 7 wants to.... but i dunno' I'm a little nervy about looking like a dumb tourist - but we're both Disney FREAKS so we could shine it on if we got a "thumbs up" or two... Whatcha' think? Thanks

 

[tevagirl]

Here's a thumbs up.....how many times in your daughter's life can she dress up as a princess? Not too many...I say go for it!

 

[takemeaway]

Denise, What are you talking about? I dressed up like a princess last week to go to the grocery store. (puts on her crown).

WldWcnWmn, I think dressing your daughter in a princess outfit is a terrific idea. I see little girls in the princess costumes and think they always look adorable...not cheesy. As a matter of fact, I am going to dress up my 7 year old son in a Belle Costume. Poor kid doesn't know it yet!

 

[tevagirl]

Rose...that's because you ARE a princess.

 

[WldWcnWmn]

That's it, we're costuming! With you guys on board with me, I feel better now... if some old cranky geezer type shakes his head, I can point at you two and say you said it was o.k. Hehehehe. We are so giddy about the whole thing, I got the cruise video last night in the mail, and I actually cried when I watched it. Isn't that sad?!?! We're such Disnoids, I think it's in the DNA (or is that DIS-NA?) I am a single parent and I've been telling my daughter since she was a little-er kid that one day I'd take her, and we're actually going! I think I am more excited than she is. Oh well...better go check out the local Disney Store and see what kinda' deal I can get on princess dresses...too bad we're not going AFTER Halloween....hmmmm. Anyone know about the dolphin fantasy excursion supposedly avaiable on St. John's? You guys have a great day!

 

[WldWcnWmn]

everytime I post, my daughter wants the little green guy. She say's it's "her" excited about the trip. hmmmm dunno' why she relates to the green bouncy thing.......oh well.

HI All
I know I have kinda been mia!! IT has been really crazy around here with all the wedding stuff going.Oldest son get married May 29th (thank god) oops did I say that out loud? We were finally able to pay a nice family to take him. I mean he finally found a nice girl.



WldWcnWmn I think it's a wonderful Idea for your daughter to wear a princess dress. I am hoping to wear mine from the wedding. I don't care if I have to sleep in it I will get to wear this dress again.

Well all have a great weekend and be safe.

Mother of the groom !!!! Will I ever just be Peg again??????????

 

[tevagirl]

Well now if everyone is wearing a princess dress then I want one too! Maybe we can even get the old cranky geezer to wear one. And if not I could probably take him anyway. Once they hit a certain age they don't scare me any more. Peg will need to vent after the wedding so she can be my back up. Oh I just love planning things! We are going to have so much fun!

WldWcnWmn...I can relate with your daughter, sometimes I feel like a green bouncy thing and unfortunately I often look like one. By the way...congratulations on being able to take this cruise with your little girl, you deserve to be excited!

Hi Everybody......

Dont ya just love daylight savings?? Takes 6 months to get a baby on schedule and then BAM! Change the clocks ahead, and then when you finally get them on schedule again....what do you know......Daylight savings ends!

Have a nice day....

 

[corrybaybe]

Hi All


I am thinking maybe we should all bring our princess crowns.I would love to wear mine by the pool at dinner or just strolling around the deck. It can be our own little club. Since my daughter has the Queen position all tied up. I am going to get mine out and start polishing it up today!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I am gonna be a PRINCESS !!!!!!!!

 

[tevagirl]

You can't be a princess...you're the Mother of the groom.

 

[corrybaybe]

I can be anything I want with a little pixie dust

anyone have a little extra they can sprinkel my way?

and a whole lot of Grey Goose

 

[tevagirl]

Just invited Libby from Australia to join us! She was wandering around out there all by herself. Hope she finds us!

 

[Libby]

Hi,

I'll be joinging all of you on the cruise with my dh and 2 dds's who are 5 and 3. This will be our third cruise, but first with Disney. Since we're coming from Australia we'll be spending 2 weeks at WDW before the cruise. My dh is hoping that after being immersed in disney for 3 weeks I'll be sick of it. I think he's most hopeful indeed. This will be my dd5 4th Disney trip - 3rd to WDW.
Hmmm, what else...I'm a SAHM and spend most of my free time planning my next disney trip (as dh says I'm never happier than when I'm planning our next overseas holiday) or scrapbooking.

Libby

 

[tevagirl]

Libby Libby Libby...doesn't your husband realize that the more often you do Disney the more you want to do it? It doesn't have the effect that he's hoping for that's for sure. Hopefully he'll never realize that fact and you can just keep planning your Disney vacations! Where will you be staying before the cruise? My DH, my DGD (age 3), and I will be going down on the Tuesday before and staying at the Wilderness Lodge with some friends. The rest of our family will be meeting us on the ship.

Anyway...I have to go to work so welcome to the board. The people here are so nice, I can't wait to meet them. Some of them are a little delusional...they think someone on this cruise is going to be the official babysitter...but other than that they're okay.

Talk to you later, Denise

 

[Libby]

Hi Denise,

We will be arriving on Sunday 3rd and staying at the Carribean Beach, then transfering to the Wilderness Lodge the following Sunday for 6 nights. Then 2 nights at the Beach Club after the cruise. We stayed at WL last trip and really loved it. I'm very excited because we were orginally going next Jan but our new house has been delayed and we probably won't be moving into it until Dec so we moved our trip forward to October. The downside is I have less time to save spending money.

Libby

 

[corrybaybe]

Hi Libby and welcome!!

Let me be the first to tell you how much Denise loves children.She has so thoughtfully offered to watch all the kids that will be coming from this board isn't she wonderful From what I hear she would be just miserable with out them. My two boys already refer to her a Aunt Denise hugs and kisses!!!!



Denise just trying to make sure you have a good time.

 

[WldWcnWmn]

I dunno' if we need to "burden" poor Denise, but didn't I read up there a while back that someone was bringing a blender? And weren't one of you in charge of the Rum? I for sure have the surge protector packed and ready...I am gonna' put a lot of faith into the hands of the Club Counselors (not to mention calling cards & tips) 'cause this "Queen" (DD says "mom, you're too old to be a princess" nice) is gonna' have a single parent's blast!!! Speaking of blast, I bought a Sleeping Beauty princess gown on Ebay for DD for Captain's Night (shhh don't tell DD) and I told her she could bring her Jasmine costume from last Halloween. We're gonna do WDW for a week before the trip, maybe I can hook up a crown or two at the park....too old to be a princess, I'll show her....you other Princesses just do the standard beauty queen/princess wave when you see us!!!(We'll be the two girls wearing the crowns!) I can't wait, I can't wait.....
