Any Magic Halloween Cruisers 2003 out there?

[rae519]

I'm back.

You have all convinced me to return!

I have a thread called October 25, 2003 that gives the details.

Anyone else had their room changed besides me?

Missed you all lots!

Rae

 

[laurenk]

Rae- We have not been changed, nor have the other two parties sailing with us. That is weird. What room did they give you? Are we sailing on a ship "under construction"? No wonder there aren't reports of upgrades for the sailings out of dry dock.

I am glad you are back. I started posting right about the time you had had enough, but had been reading this post the whole time(lurking). I was disappointed that I wasn't going to be able to get to know you before the cruise.

My DS9 will turn 10 on the 26th is going to be Sorcerer Mickey. What has Michael been leaning towards?

We will be at the Raddison the night before, then Universal 4 days after the cruise. We are trying to break free of our "WDW only" vacations

I don't reacll if I have officially weighed in or not, but it doesn't bother to add a few more TOT'ers. So what is the final count?

Karen, I am sorry to hear about James' setback. It is the little things in life you must appreciate, and if there is a silver lining in your dark cloud, it is that it happened when it did. Thank goodness it wasn't like the day before you were due to leave, KWIM?

Rae,
I am glad to see that you are back amongst friends And typing much better! HEHE Guess that shrimo didn't do as much damage as he set out to do,eh?

laurenk, I do think it is strange that no one on this cruise has reported an upgrade Maybe you are correct. When we check in I intend to inquire about an upgrade, but only if the price is right! LOL If not I can save that money towards my next cruise


We are all getting very excited over here. It is just now becoming cool enough in the mornings that I dont want the kids wearing shorts (we leave at 630 am) but it is still quite warm in the afternoons here. SO we are really begininng to look forward to the warm Caribbean weather

I have asked this before ( I think) but does anyone know of any other service I can use, besides DCL's, that I can order Chocolate covered strawberries?

WOW guys! we are almost there!

 

[laurenk]

dzneprincess- I am going to check at the port for an upgrade for my parents. They are in a category 11.

According to another thread our ToT are going to be GLOWING. Seems "a few of us: have purchased glow in the dark accesories.

I have been trying to slowly get it together here with our packing. My bedroom looks like a bomb went off in it. My cats are enjoying diving in and out of suitcases and bags. Our youngest one keeps making off with various items.

 

[carole88]

Lauren - LOL! I'm glad that my bedroom is not the only one that looks like a bomb went off in it. I'm hoping to be able to see the floor by next week!

 

[Poohbush]

Rae, welcome back! I missed your input a bunch! I was going to email you privately, but I didn't want to impose!

I've seen the thread about the glowing items. I was going to post that I almost got some glowing bracelets, but changed my mind! I'm glad now I didn't buy them, just to give the kids something different!

Anyone have thoughts on whether we'll see Brother Bear on our sailing?

Bye for now! (I just love this hyper guy!)

Oh! WOW! Rae your back with us again, and your typing has much improvement since the email I received from you. I'm glad Michael has settled on a costume. I know we went through a few changes before Ashley finally made up her mind. I hope he has decided to T-or-T with the rest of the children, I would like to take the ? mark away after his name on the list. If you would still like to have your stateroom listed as one the children can visit I'll need your new room number. I've been trying to put a route together for the kids to follow.

I haven't heard a thing from Doucia, so our count is at 40.
Cold and rainy here today, really looking forward to warmer temps and .

 

["Ginger"]

I would just like to have a bedroom to put a suitcase in to try to put things together. If you see people coming in terminal with plastic black contractor bags full of clothes, well that's us.
Our general contractor stormed out of here yesterday mad at the world because our cabinets are coming on the 13th, the house is nowhere near ready for them. His fault, he set the delivery date, not us.
So who knows now when we'll get this old house done.

All I know is I'll be on that ship sailing with you all come October the 25th.

Hey Amanda - I too am a chocolate covered strawberries fanatic - I was wondering if there was a way to get them during the middle of the cruise sometime - If anyone knows, let us know!!

Rae, I have already posted on the other thread, but I just wanted to say again, WELCOME BACK!!!

You were surely missed!

Karen

For those of you looking for goodies. I have never dealt with them but, people on the board speak highly of Shirley and Norm. Their website is www.perfectgift.cc Chocolate covered strawberries is not one of the items in any premade basket but, she does take custom orders. Good luck!


Rae- Welcome back! I missed you. I was starting to think I'd have to be wild and single by myself.

 

["Ginger"]

Choc. covered strawberries YUMMY I love them, and they love my hips along with many other place on my body. Too many of them this past spring helped pack on the extra lbs.

Amanda, have you called Disney Cruise Line Gifts, they may sell them without purchasing champagne and petit fours. Look on the first page of the Food and Beverage section of your Disney Cruise Line Gift booklet. 1-800-601-8455.

 

[elfish]

Hi,
Glad I found this site & thread!!! This will be our 1st Disney Cruise & we're excited to be joining all of you, especially on Halloween.
My DH, 2DD (14 & 3),and DS(12) will be joining me in 2 cabins (6051 & 6053). Lookin forward to meeting all of you!

 

[martel-luv-wdw]

What are TOT cruiser giving out?

Got halloween bags, looking at candy but should they have no nut/peanutbutter like reeses/snickers.ect.

Hardcandy?

Gum?

lollypops?

Thinking about putting sea animal in the bags.

glow light seem cool.

What are the best thing to put in the bags.

What are other giving out?

Getting stressed.
Had to go shopping with DH for shorts tonight. Got 2 pairs( no fun)he hates to shop. Getting family together, Now I just need to iron, pack, and make sure everyone has everything.

Karen, Sorry to hear about James. It must be upsetting. Dont let it get you down. It will all work out.

Linda

 

[rae519]

Hi and thanks for the big welcome back!
It was wonderful to get so many private e-mails after my departure and honestly, I never lurked so I did miss out on a lot.

So I'm still whining about not getting my home on the seas stateroom (5622) and not sure what is going on - but I will try to call both DVC and CC tomorrow and get this straightened out.

If anyone is around Universal on Friday - we will be there!!!

If anyone has the original list that I started - send it to me - I have nothing to work from anymore and see we have new people.

Okay, two big questions.


WHERE IS OUR MEETING AT AND WHEN?

HIGH TEA AND BRUNCH?

Danke!

Rae

 

[Rose_Greenthumb]

Welcome back Rae!

My room always looks like a bomb's gone off in there! I don't suppose my mum will accept the "but I'm sorting out things for holiday" excuse though.

I still don't know what to be for Halloween and I really don't have long now. Anybody got any suggestions at all?

 

[KEH]

Hey, Rae. What a sight for sore eyes. Welcome back. We missed you.

I think the meet is on Deck 10 forward after the lifeboat drill. The High Tea is on Thursday afternoon and I can't remember what we said about brunch. I will try to book the High Tea. I will dig out my list of who wanted to do that and post so we are sure we have everyone.

What time for brunch do you prefer Rae? Are we going to try for a group booking as planned before?

Karen

 

[dzneprincess]

Hey Emma,
I think you could be a young Mary Poppins! Except not just for TOTing, you could volunteer to be MY Mary Poppins

I am sorry to hear that DCL is kicking you out of your cabin Rae. Maybe the will make up for it in a very BIG way

Speaking of rooms, oh my. When Nathaniel was born, my coworkers kicked in and purchased my a glider rocker, well it has now become the hold til we pack chair! YIKES! THey would kill me if they knew that so SHHHHHHHHHHHH


BTW, Andy I was able to get rid of my "moustache" It came clean with alcohol! Not the drinking kind either
Boy oh boy, I am having a major Disney withdrawal over here. I have not bee nto the world since last September and it is driving me crazy! Every one here, just doesn't understand. They all say, well you are fixin (yes we are in the south) to be on the cruise! And believe me,a s excited as I am about that, it is just not the same! I had even booked 2 nights at POR for after our cruise, but than decided against it. Because I want to spend more than 2 days there, KWIM? SO I am now trying to aim for a February trip. NOw the tricky part is, making my DH understand that we need to go to WDW and take a cruise next year..LOL Wish me luck.

Martel, I got some treat bags, and put 2 different kinds of candy in it, and a party favor. I did this before I thought about peanut allergies, so I apologize in advance to children who have those allergies. I simply was not thinking about that. Alos I can relate about DH not shopping. I have been after mine to go pick out a pair of dress shoes, I never realized that there were so many different styles of mens! Anyways he never did, so I went and picked for him! LOL

elfish,welcom aboard ! I hope you and your family have a marvelous time!

Ginger, I have not called DCL to see if they sell the strawberries seperate. I tried to call yesterday and help for over 5 minutes! ICK Is that normal for their line to be so busy?

OH yeah before I forget, where is this post about glowing items? I missed it? What was said?

 

[KaitlinsMom]

Great idea - Emma to be Mary Poppins!!! wouldn't take much to put an outfit together -

Karen, how is your son James holding up? Then again, how are you holding up? Everything will be fine - Wait till you see how much of a fuss Disney characters will make of him! It will probably make the other two jealous!

Just to let you all know, I got one of those horrible viruses on my computer. DH is really mad because our computer is only 5 months old - Hopefully we will get someone out to fix it soon. He brought his notebook computer home from work so that is how I am able to post now. Don't know what I am going to do tomorrow - Maybe I will hide his computer!!!

I didn't think about allergies either when making my bags - I am sure the parents of the kids with allergies will go thru their childs bag and get rid (via their own mouth) of the ones their child is unable to have. Even though my children have no allergies, I have been known to get rid (via my mouth) of "potential allergies" (like kit kats, butterfingers)

Horseback riding is booked - I have yet to get a confirming email from Nicki - If I can find the phone number, I will give her a call tomorrow - Rae, I used a CC to hold my reservation, but do you know if she will accept cash for payment (US dollars?)

Went to Target yesterday to get all the bits and bobs for the trip - mesh laundry bag, lip balm, etc - Boy, that little stuff adds up!!!

Is anyone else booking a cruise while on board? I believe we are going to - Just not sure of what date to go for -

Karen, the high tea, is that on a sea day? If so, count me in - Just remind me what time - Thanks

That's all for now -

Karen
