Any 10-16-04 cruisers yet?

[Denine]

Sandy: I really like #2. I just want our first names on the magnet. No last name.

Denine
Jerry
Kaleigh

Ohio

This is making the cruise seem closer!

 

[Zandy595]

Denine ~ So in place of "The Blank Family" you want "Denine, Jerry & Kaleigh"?
Do you want it to say "of Ohio" or "from Ohio"? I had "from" on the original sign, but most people said "of" sounded better.

Hello everyone....

That's very nice of you, Sandy, to make all the signs. And yes, Denine, it really does make it seem closer. In fact, it is closer....I now have only 10 pay days until the cruise! Uh oh. Any bites on the house yet? I hope it's already sold. Good luck.

My husband left for Las Vegas this morning for his Marine Corp reunion. He was like a little kid, he was so excited. He'll be home on Monday. I hope he has a great time.

Well, Peg, have you hung up your princess dress and tiarra and come back to reality yet? My son and his fiance aren't getting married until October of 2005. My youngest grandson, Andrew, is going to be the ring bearer and he will be pushed down the aisle on a ride-on toy fire truck. (Sound familiar?) My son belongs to our local fire department. That should be interesting. Might have to crazy glue him to the seat.

Anyway, just wanted to check in and say hello. I'll talk to you all later.

Hi Denise
Yes I have to say with a heavy heart the dress is in the closet. The Tiarra on the other hand I am still sleeping in. I am trying to ease out of this princess thing a little at a time. Congrats on your sons up coming wedding it is so much fun.

DD just broke the news shes getting married June 18th next year.Don't you think it was good of them to give me 1 whole year between weddings!!!!! I guess it will be extra fertilizer on the money tree in the back yard. DH just keeps saying 2 down 2 to go.Hes such a big help. DS AJ says hes never leaving just moving wife in god help us!!

Well have a good day all I will be out in the yard giving that tree a little extra tlc.

Denine: Great news for Kammy and Tim!! I know they will really love living in Florida....

Doug

 

[Denine]

Sandy: I like "from Ohio"

Denise: No bites on the house yet. We may have to lower the price. We are having an open house next Sunday.

They did get the footer poured for the new house though.

Peg:Congrats to your daughter. Weddings are so exciting!
I have a long time before we go through that.

Doug: Yes, I am sure Kammy and Tim will love being in FLA!

Hello Again:

Thought it was time for me to post again. I know how much I am missed and thought about around here. I know, i know, it is hard to humble when you are so well liked!

Not much going on. We got our tickets for "Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party" and we have our plane reservations. I am just trying to find a place where we can lose the kids for a few days without anyone noticing....is that wrong?

School must be almost out for a lot of the kids soon. My oldest doesn't get out until June 25th. I am glad he only has 6 weeks of summer vacation.

Peg, I pm'd you my email address, if Eric wants to write to Frank who will be 8 years old when we set sail.

That's all for now. Hope all are well.

Rose, we have our tickets for MNSSHP too. We are going to take our granddaughter Makayla. We're going the Thursday before the cruise. I've been to MVMCP but not the halloween one. I hope it's fun. This is Makayla's first trip to Disney World and I am really excited about taking her.

Joe called from Vegas and said it's 107 degrees there. I am so glad I didn't go. Between the heat and my hot flashes I'd be in big trouble!







Hello to eveyone, Denise

 

[takemeaway]

Denise, we are going that Thursday too! We went last year and it was sooooooo much fun! Make sure Makayla wears her Halloween costume. As for Joe, I am sure he is like my husband and won't need a scary Halloween mask!

Just Joking honey if you are reading this. Can I please have the checkbook?

 

[tevagirl]

Well what do you know....first you are in the cabin right next door and now we'll be wandering around the Magic Kingdom on the same night! You aren't stalking us are you? I'll be watching over my shoulder so don't try to pull anything funny. I don't know what Joe will be going as now that I've hidden his tiarra and tutu.

Can you believe that 33 days from now we will be in the double digits! It's coming fast!

 

[corrybaybe]

Hello Everyone!

Rose I am sure Eric will love to write Frank. Now everything is slowing down. The boys last day of school is Thursday. Only half a day then summer vacation.


Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Hi,

I Haven't checked in here for a while. For whoever was keeping the role call list here's ours.

ME - Libby
DH - Kevin
dd - Amy (5)
dd - Christy (3)

You'll know us by our strange Aussie accents. We're in room 2116.

We are also going to MNSSHP on the Thurs night before the cruise. Can't wait - this is a first for us and extra special since Halloween isn't really celebrated in Australia.

Libby

 

[Denine]

We haven't purchased our party tickets yet, but when we do it will be for after the cruise. We went last year and had a lot of fun.

Libby: You need to start posting more. It is getting closer!

 

[Zandy595]

Hi everyone!

I got permission from Grumbo to use this picture for door signs. I wanted to add it to the album, but I can't figure out how to do it.

 

[Libby]

Okay...Denine suggested a post more so I have some questions.

Not having been on a disney cruise are there any little hints I should know, anything we shouldn't miss.

What off shore excursions do you recommend - we have been to all ports except Castaway Cay before?

I have read all the posts over the last few months but can't remember if a DIS meet has been organised yet or not.

Umm...maybe a stupid question but I wonder what the point of the door signs is?

Libby

 

[tiggerfantoo]

Libby, I have not been on a Disney cruise before, either. I think that the door signs are just a way of letting everyone know that you are part of the DIS "family". It will also help my family members (nine of my family members are going) find my stateroom easier since my name will be on the door.

My brother will be on deck two, also. If he hears your "Aussie" accent, he may stop and start a conversation with you and your family. He took a three month vacation in Australia several years ago, and toured by bicycle. He really enjoyed your country and still speaks to this day about his trip. I can only remember one negative incident ~ he was attacked by some birds (magpies?) while riding on his bike.

My DS was over with my DGD the other day and mentioned that the cruise is only four and a half months away. It is getting so close!!! I've got to get to the back and get a stack of $2 bills for room service tips. I plan on using room service every day! The only drawback is I will get used to being treated like royalty, and then reality will set in when I return home. Oh, well . . .

Ok I have a few questions? And I thought who are the best people to ask, and it's you guys.

1. Has anyone else booked their own air fare? We booked thru TA and think the fare is a little high 1390 for 4 I think we can do better. My question is can any one tell me how to get from air port to hotel. I would like to fly in the night before I have been having nightmares about missing the boat if we were delayed.I thought about stayin at the Raddison the night before.

2. Is there any thing I should ask when booking airfare?

Thanks Peg

 

[Zandy595]

Check out Dave's site for directions and information on the Raddison.

Sorry, can't help you with the airfare question because we drive.

 

[takemeaway]

Hi Peg:

We paid a little over $1000 for airfare from CAlifornia to Florida for four people. If you are coming from PA, I would think you could find a better deal. We went through Continental and just kept checking the fares online.

There is a new hotel called Ron Jon's that is supposed to be nice. We are staying there this time. WE always rent a car and then return it in the morning. We did get the directions off dave's site and we also stopped at Win Dixie for our alcohol products!

I hope everyone is well. We are heading to the Wild Animal Park today to look at my husband's relatives roaming the land in thier natural habitat.

Peg are you near Philadelphia? You can fly Southwest, arrive on the 15th, depart on the 23rd, non-stop, for four people for $891.00.
