Any January 10, 2004 Eastern Cruisers lurking yet?

[brack]

Giving this a bump before I go out of town again. We're at an Older Adult Camp this week (my wife plans this not that I'm old but I do qualify for some discounts!). There I plan to work on the new improved web page. If you have anything to put on it just send it along. See ya soon!

Bump again. We're getting close to 90 days.

Steve

Is there anything we are supposed to do at 90 days???

Carla

 

[rcostello1]

Yes, hibernate for 89 days so the wait won't be so long!

Or for some of us, start/continue diets.

Hmm, continue to plan obsessively.

Not time to start tanning yet...

 

[abitjaded]

Bumping 'cause we are slipping....

Thinking of starting a diet.... Parts of me ARE slipping...

It looks like we will be able to see the new Golden Mickey's show on our cruise.

I don't know what, if anything, it replaces. I read a WDW cast member publication that says it will debut on the Magic in December.

Yay!

I think Golden Mickeys replaces Morty the Magnificent. I actually liked Morty, oh well.

Hi everyone. It's almost time to pay up. November 11 is coming fast. Still looks like it will not be a full ship. I'll just be glad to be on it.

Steve

 

[abitjaded]

Me too. Is anyone booking shore excursions sixty days out, also? How are you planning on doing it? I could have sworn there was a place to submit electronically on the disney site, but cannot seem to find it.

Carla

 

[steveandtonya]

Do you have to pay for the excursions when you book them or just reserve them? Thanks

Steve

 

[steveandtonya]

Has anyone made excursion plans yet? It is coming up fast.

Steve

 

[rcostello1]

I haven't done excursions yet. Everyone in my party is finally paid off though.

Right now I'm in WDW for a conference. I only made it half way around the world at the Food and Wine festival. We needed to eat by the time we got to Germany...too much to drink!! I must say it was fun!

 

[steveandtonya]

Sounds like fun, rcostello1.
Refresh my memory, are you sailing we any kids 7 yrs to 9 yrs old? We paid our cruise off yesterday- sort of. It's now on the credit card, now just have to pay that down.

Whew! It's been a long time and I have one more week of travel for work then I can settle down for awhile. I miss this board and plan to spend more time on it after my return next week. I also promise to work on the web page.

We paid for the two cruises this past Monday so I have no cash flow. It's hot dogs for awhile! We also booked two days at the AllStar Music before the cruise and three days at the Pop Century for after the cruise. It will be long Disney vacation this year.

Hope everyone is doing well. We'll chat soon.

Hey Brack. welcome semi-back.

We paid off the cruise tonite. Sort of. Charged the Disney Card, anyway. Now it is time to move funds. We are at the Pop Century before the cruise. Nephew confirmed for cruise and SIL and nephew will be joining us for Pop. Convinced at least one of my Florida relatives to join us for WDW, too. Now I have to redo all those reservations, including dining PS. Wonder if I can deal with "Group Reservations" for eight. Maybe we have become a "Grand Gathering". Or "Nitwits on Vacation, Part II". GETTING CLOSER!!!!!!

BUMP ... before I leave town again for a week.

 

[brack]

I need some help. After working on a Frontpage version of the web page I found out that the two sites that I have access to do not accept Frontpage. So I am back to AOL Hometown. Look at this page and tell me that I have the captions right. I can add more pages. Thanks.

Got all our shore info and gift flyer from the TA. Tomorrow we book the shore excursion. Ya hoo! Is everyone paid off?

Carla

 

[steveandtonya]

We are all paid up (to Disney at least). We made our excursion reservation for St. Thomas this morning- Buck Island Sail and Snorkle at 12:15pm. We aren't scheduling anything on St. Maarten- just shopping. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Steve

 

[abitjaded]

We got our St Thomas Leylon Sneed reservations today!

Shopping in St Maarten is really fun. Lots of great shops on Front Street. We did some nice jewelry shopping at Joe's. This shop was a DCL sanctioned shop. They treated us well. Free pop and beer, restroom for DS two times. Not free diamond and white topaz and blue topaz. Picked up some cheap liquor, just stroll in and out of the shops. The prices vary a lot. Got some great color change t's for the kids off Front Street, really nice quality and much cheaper than the "name brands" on Front. Also got some INCREDIBLE Belgian chocolates. DH got a good deal on a Swiss Army knife at Little Switzerland (to replace the one we mailed home from the airport that was in his pocket-duh). Could have shopped a lot more. Anything you might want, it will be cheaper in St M than in St Thomas. Is anyone heading over to Marigot? I'd love some L'Occitane stuff, but can't see paying more for the taxi than I would save.

Dave has the shopping guides.
