Any Magic Halloween Cruisers 2003 out there?

[mdvasquez]

Buzz&woodys mom I pray that you are safe and sound during the hurricane. Keep us posted.

On a brighter note, my docs came just before dinner time. YEA!! And guess what, my BIL and nieces came to my house. Figure that one out!?

Thanks Carol and Dena and congrat's on the doc's Dena. I "think" we will be ok with the Hurricane, after surviving an aneurysm I tend to take things in stride but what else can we do We have lot's of canned food, flash lights, water and a generator!

I finally did hear back from Tammy now at DU. I guess she is now our TA with DU She said DCL has not sent our doc's out yet.........Tammy said she was on the 3 day Wonder, no "wonder" she did not get back to me Oh well...................keep those prayers coming for everyone on the Eastern seaboard. The winds already picked up today.

Ginger-Are we going to get one last TOT list before we go, not that we don't have 6 weeks to do it (lol)

I called my TA questioning my docs, and she said they are not sent out until 2-3 weeks before cruise date? HUH ? LOL I am sooooooooooo hoping that I get an upgrade, but know that it is rare! I only wish when I booked it, that I would have gotten a cat 9 so we at least could have had a window. We have never cruised in an outside stateroom. BUT OH well we will just be sooo very happy to be on the ship! THe kids keep asking me how many days until we go! Time is going kind of fast now! I have so much to do, and a little more than a month to do it! ACK!

No Doc's in Ohio yet.

Be safe everyone on the coast - we have close relatives in Wmsbg VA, and are keeping our hopes up that this one stays out at sea. We were in NC when Bertha hit back in '97 - an experience I would not ever want to repeat, or go through. It was a vacation we will NEVER forget though . . .

We'll say our prayers for all of you.

We got our Docs today here in Virginia!!!! What a cute way to package them!! My parents are in a category 11, and no upgrade for them. Oh well, we will gladly share our verandah.

Everyone here in Central Virgina is taking Isabel pretty serious. Our main concern is extended power outages, since in a regular thunderstorm we lose power The schools have sent home notices about being prepared to pick up the kids early on Thursday. Stay safe everyone!!!

No docs here in Colorado :-(

Our thoughts and prayers are with those who live along the east coast!

OK, I'll admit it, I've been lurking this post for MONTHS now. Due to business problems, I've been reluctant to post because I feared that my family would not be able to keep our reservation. Nevertheless, we're going. WHIPPEEE!!!

This is my family's 3rd cruise. And, fortunately, for the 3rd year, we will have cabin 5624. So, hopefully we will have no problem remembering our cabin number or figuring out how to get there.

We did the 4 day two years ago and the Eastern last year. Husband (Chris) and son (Robert) who is a proud 6 1/2 will be traveling. Please say it is not too late to add him to the trick or treat list. He is a bit disappointed that he will not TorT at home and help give out candy thereafter, but he's excited about going room to room w/the other children onboard. He says he wants to be a ghost. I've explained, that I can do better than that for a costume. I mean, I can do more than get an old sheet & cut eyes out, but that's what he wants. So much for me being creative this year.

I look forward to meeting you all onboard.

Welcome Strissel, glad you will be with us in October. Ginger is looking after the T or T list and I think the last date for adding names was September 21st so you should be okay. Ginger will let you know for definite, I'm sure. The ghost costume sounds good to me. My DD who is 15 and loves Lord of the Rings is planning to be a hobbit! I have no idea how I am going to achieve this and time is running out. Help.

No documents here yet but our flight tickets arrived today (we have a week at the Boardwalk before cruising) so it's all getting very exciting.

We've changed our minds again...

A few days ago I said we weren't going to do any of the excursions, but we met with our friends and decided to do a few. Here's our plan:

Key West - we're just going to wander around
Grand Cayman - Island Tour & Snorkeling
Cozumel - Cozumel Ruins & Beach Tour
Castaway Caye - nothing definite planned

We'd really like to try both the Natilus Undersea Tour and the Island Tour & Snorkeling at Cayman but it looks like the times conflict.

DH & I have decided not to dive at Cozumel...too many things to do with DDs.

Who else is going on any of these excursions?

Are we still going to have the tired moms tea?

Wendy

 

[KEH]

Hi Wendy. Yes the Tired Moms tea is still on. So far we have

Me (KEH)
Tiff (BuzznWoody'smom x 3)
Rae x 2.
Wendy (rwpetersen)

If you could PM me with your last name & stateroom number, I will try to make the booking for all of us.

Unfortunately Ginger will no longer be joining us as the High Tea clashes with the final of the Bingo. Let's hope she wins!

Anyone else up for this? Please PM me if you are.

I keep reading conflicting things about the High Tea - some people say it is really quiet and others that it is very hard to get a reservation? Does anyone have any experience?

Do you think we should have a back up plan in case I can't get the reservation? If so, where could we go?

Karen

 

[laurenk]

Wendy,
Are you doing the Island tour and Snorkeling with the Stingrays? If so, we are doing the 7:20 one. My DH is doing the Atlantis Submarine while we do that.

I would like to do the tea, but I must decline, and go split the Jackpot with Ginger

Lauren

 

[KEH]

If you win, the cocktails are on you!!! Hope we will see you at the Dismeet, if not the High Tea.

Karen

 

[laurenk]

If we won the jackpot bingo we would be having one big party onboard with all of our DIS friends!!!!!

Lauren, we're doing the 10:45. I have to be at work at 6:30am everyday so I'm not going to get up really early on vacation! I can't wait to hear how your DH likes the submarine, I think that sounds really neat. Maybe the next cruise...

I'll have to back out on the tea, I didn't realize it was during bingo. I want to win too (it'll help pay for the next cruise!!!!!)

Evening! No docs here yet either.

We're getting ready for Isabel. Schools are closed tomorrow, as is the DC Federal Government, which means my DH gets to stay home. They're (TV stations) calling for winds up to 60 miles per hour. Yikes! Kind of worried about some trees in the back yard falling, hopefully none hit the house. Lots of rain too. Hope we don't lose power for very long.

Welcome Strissel. This will be our 3rd Disney cruise too.

Stay safe everyone, even those not in Isabel's way!

Poohbush-
Our kids get to go this morning, but come home at noon Tommorrow they are off. Guess they want to hold onto those snow days in Stafford. If my kids weren't missing days for the cruise, I would keep them home. I am going to drive them, let them be counted for attendance, and bring them home. Most kids aren't even going.

I think those who haven't gotten docs yet have more of a chance for upgrades. Just a theory. All of a sudden they aren't showing any availability for some categories.

Stay safe!!

 

[buzz&woody'smom]

From the looks of this dang hurricane our doc's may be deilvered via boat to no house standing I am a alittle stressed this am but still have power waiting on it to really hit this afternoon. I keep telling myself to calm down think of happy thoughts, Disney Cruise, Disney Cruise

 

[carole88]

We received our docs yesterday! Alas, no upgrade but we still have our porthole. Will see how much it costs to upgrade to veranda at the port. Also received DD and my passports this past Monday. Now we're really ready to go!

We're all keeping a watch on Isabel. Saw a reporter this morning on TV reporting from the Outer Banks. The storm was already pretty fierce and the hurricane hadn't hit yet. Everyone is in our prayers. Keep safe.
