Any 10-16-04 cruisers yet?

[Libby]

Denine,

I hope your house selling and building is going better than ours. We've had our house on the market for nearly a year. By Feb I'd had enough of continually keeping the house neat and tidy (with dogs and 2 kids) so we moved into self-contained accomodation at my parents. On the plus side we can't yet start building our new home since the land isn't ready. It was supposed to ready last Nov/Dec and is still at least a month away. Maybe it will all work out at the same time. Dh and I are really looking forward to our holidays and getting away from it all .

I know what you mean about having your house on the market! We've had ours on the market since the first of April. With two kids and a dog, 1 acre to mow and a pool to maintain I've been having a great summer so far! I love it when they call and say "can we come look at your house in 15 minutes?" So you dash around madly grabbing the kids out of the pool, pushing the dog in his kennel picking up toys and clothes...we're moving next week so at least we won't have to worry anymore. Now we just have to worry about having two houses!

We can't wait for the cruise! I was wondering about excursions. I've been reading the boards and it looks like it's about 50/50 whether to do an excursion or just head out on your own. Any fun ideas for first timers with two kids? My husband sent me a message that he had read something about swimming with the dolphins but I was thinking that was on the western cruise?

Thanks!

New to the board. Our family is sailing on Oct 16th. It will be our 2nd DCL voyage. Wher do I get a timer like everyone is talking about?

 

[Zandy595]

ncyorkclan ~ Welcome!

I'd wait on the countdown timer until they put them back up. They're working on the boards and took the signature/timers off for a while. They were supposed to be back on by now though.

ncyorkclan welcome aboard!!!!


Hope everyone is having a great day!!

Happy Double Digits!

 

[wildernessgirl]

OK!!! It's getting real now that we are in double digits!!!!!! Welcome aboard to all newbies!!!! We are going to have a great time!!!!!! I know some of us did this earlier, but I was "selected" (thanks to Denine!! Just call me your cruise director! Somehow I got named that on our last disney cruise! LOL!) to make a list of the dis'ers who will be cruising on the Oct 16th cruise. So just to make sure my list is correct so far and for the newbies to be added,



LET'S HAVE A ROLL CALL...................


Room 8018:
DH - Garry
Me - Julie
DD - Makenzie ( 5yrs)
DS - Garry (a.k.a. "The Big Guy" 3yrs)
DD - Brooke (9 mo. at cruise time)


I will get the list going and then if you want it before we cruise, PM me with your email address and I will email it to you) if you want to wait, I will handed them out at the beginning of the cruise.



Hey, did you guys know that they flopped formal and semi-formal nights around? At least that is what was told to me by Dreams Unlimited. Sunday is semi-formal and Thursday is formal. Just in case some of you are requesting certain dinner seating. We like eating formal night in Lumiere's and semi-formal in Animators and Topical night in Parrot Cay. So we requested that dinner rotation (PALPALP in case some of you would also like that rotation).

Are we going to have a sail away party? The cruise we went on before with fellow dis'ers met at the bow of the ship (by the basketball court) for our own sail away party. We met there around 4:30ish and met everyone and had a great time.

We also had a wine party we set up for one of the afternoons ( I believe that it was the first day at sea, sunday). What we did was we all brought our favorite wine from our home state (or favorite wine period) and all ordered a cheese platter from room service and around 1pm we met on deck 7 "secret deck" and had a super time! What does everyone think about doing something like that?

Just some suggestions! I'm game for anything!!!!!

 

[Denine]

I hope our house sells soon! We don't want 2 houses! We did that before. Our new house won't be ready until early Sept.

Cruising:
cabin 6576
Denine
Jerry
Kaleigh (2 at time of cruise)

I think we should have a sailaway party and wine party like last time.

 

[wide awake]

The wine party sounds great...my DS will want all the razzle dazzle of the main sail away party so we'll have to skip the DIS one. I cannot believe they've changed the order of the formal/semi-formal...now I'm going to have to request that SueEllen change our dining rotation request...she is going to think I am a big pain in the behind !

Hi Princesses!
So, where's the counter? Sign me up for the wine party...we're in Oregon, nice Reislings...you'll be happy I came we booked our cruise through Hotwire.com how do you get specific dinner rotations? I want PALPALP, too!! Also, anyone know about the Rainforest reservations? Do you have to go to the spa, or can you get the week pass in August when excursions can be booked? I want a week pass, told DD that's where she can find me for the duration of the cruise! Gotta' go back to work now, lemme' know if we're doing the wine party...I'm there! Anyone else going to MNSSHP on Tuesday? I would have bought tickets for Thursday, but didn't know about you guys all going before we bought ours Oh well, such a fun thing really doesn't matter the day we LOVE MNSSHP!! Bye Princesses, have a great day!

Hi All

Love the idea of the sail away bounce:

I am so there with the wine party sounds like a lot of fun. Since there is going to be so many boys on the cruise I am sure my 2 will have something to do.

Hi, Wildernessgirl,

Here's my group:

Cabin 2066
DB - Jim

Cabin 2064
DMom - Jane
DDad - Ed (celebrating their 50th anniversary)

Cabin 7126
DD - Iyse
DD's friend - Karl

Cabin 6642
DS - Scott
DGD - Cassidy

Cabin 6640
me - Gloria

Only DH and DDad have cruised, but since they cruised in the Navy they didn't enjoy the great service that we will have on this cruise. I will sure be taking advantage of room service on a daily basis.

Taking a ferry over to Lewes, Delaware this morning...going to meet Baby Nicholas! (And do a little outlet shopping).

I decided to do the LTT and made PS for 4:15 on MNSSHP day. What the heck....if DGD is whiny I'll just bring along the duct tape.
