Any Magic Halloween Cruisers 2003 out there?

["Ginger"]

We have ressies for the 23rd and 24th.

I just replied to a thread about decorating your stateroom doors, Yes, this is a big thing on the Halloween cruise.

Thanks Ginger - that is going to be a lot of fun to do!
I keep changing my mind on my costume - as does Michael. At least Mom is consistant.

The Trick O' Treating idea sounds great. So what's the decorating all about? Anyone remember any past decorations? It sounds like a really neat idea.

I'll have to dig around all my past costumes and figure out what works. Of course, just give me an excuse to come up with something new too.

Even my sister was giving me ideas..

Okay, Kaye - I got it!
Paul comes as a pineapple and you come as a peach.....

Okay, I'll shut up now with my lame suggestions!

Morning All

Wishing for sunshine here.

Door Decor, I usually go to the Dollar store and get a cheap door cover something that is easy to pack and I'm not out alot when I trash it after the cruise. One year I had a plastic door cover that had little lights that came with a small battery pack, boy did that thing eat the batteries, had to replace them about every 2 hours.
I have seen spider webbing in the hallways, remember nothing that is going to get in the way of people walking by. Things hanging from the Mail Fishies by the stateroom doors things hanging from the hand rails. I've seen small plastic pumpkin buckets hanging from the doors, I always drop candy in them.LOL
Disney door hangers ( sold in the Disney Catalog) with the family name on it. Get the idea, all kinds of stuff.

Sounds like the Halloween Cruise is a great deal of fun, have a booutiful time!!!

Nasty weather we're having here on the east coast this month of May. It's May 26th today, "Happy Memorial Day" but so far this month, we have had 2 sunny days, the rest have either been cloudy and or rainy. Right now, it's pouring and I have a river flowing down the street in front of my house.

Need to start construction on my ark!!!

Rain, Rain go away little Andy wants to play....

I am so tired of all this rain
I sure hope it clears up tomorrow, the route I am doing tomorrow is all cluster boxes. I hate those things.

On a more positive note, I thing I'll have steamed shrimp for dinner tonight. YUMMIE!!!!

Ginger,

Actually, little Andy needs to clean up the doggie doo doo in the backyard and cut the grass. I think I lost my DD out in the backyard yesterday, LOL!!!

It has to stop raining, I have 75 curb meters to read on Tuesday, it's not much fun trying to read them when it's raining.

BTW, we had shrimp in lobster sauce for dinner on Sunday. We went to our favorite Chinese eatery after church. It sure tasted goooooooooooooooooooood!!!

Hi to all!
I hope everyone had a nice weekend. We spent our three day weekend at where else but DISNEY!!!! On Saturday we went to MK. Sunday we did AK and then to epcot for dinner and fireworks. This morning we spent it at the pool until 1:00 and then came home to reality. We stayed at the WL for the first time. I absolutely love it there!!!

WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW CRUISERS! You will love the Halloween cruise!!!

HI QUACKATTACK - Good to hear from you again.

GINGER: I think we will be staying at the Raddison again this year. We did the cruise special last year where you get the king size suite and then you leave you car parked right at the Rad. That worked out pretty well for us.
You can also count us in for T or T as of now there will be my DD12, DS13, DS16 and my niece 2. I will question the other family members who are traveling with us and see if they want to participate. I think the time that we did it last year worked out pretty well.

EMMA: Do you still keep in touch with Rory?

Well, I have to go finish the laundry, Bye

Ginger,

Your decoration ideas sound great! I think that it will be very exciting to be on the cruise for Halloween. Can you tell me what special things are done for Halloween. I have two DDs. The younger will be almost 7 and the older will be 2 months shy of 10.

Thanks for any information!

 

["Ginger"]

Hi Carole88 and welcome,

My DD is 6 she will be 7 in January so your almost 7 DD will have company. Disneyprincess has a DD the same age too.

There will be Trick-or-Treating aboard the ship so pack your costumes. Costume contest for all ages, prizes, family parties, dances, and games going on all week along with all the other stuff offered on a normal Disney cruise.
I am going to put together a DISERS(those who have posted on this board) KIDS only trick-or-treat. Those who have cruised with us on past Halloween cruises will tell you that our T-or-T is much better than the one DCL offers. Alot less crowded. I will be explain our stateroom T-or-T in more detail as we get closer to cruising time. Like sitting up the day and time that we will be doing ours. Just to let everyone in the past it has taken no more than 1 hour to do this. Afterwards those who wished to got together and had a nice lunch at Lumiere's before sending the kids off to the Oceanears club and Lab to burn off that sugar high. LOL Great time to make that spa treatment or hit the Rainforest.
I will need to know the kids names (first names only needed) ages of each child and the stateroom numbers of those who wish to participant. Also if your child has any food allergies please let me know so I can make a note. Like my child is allergic to peanuts and peanut butter but no other nuts.

Andy I went for the Chinese food tonight instead of the shrimp. I did have what you did but it was YUMMIE! I've got to stop all of this good eating and get going on my diet. I found out just a few minutes ago that I don't have to do the cluster boxes tomorrow YAHOO!!! I feel for you having to read those meters in the rain, we actually saw the sun for a brief period of time here today. Maybe things will dry up and the contractor can get started on my house. I know they are going to still be working on this project when it is time for us to leave for the cruise. Oh well, as long as they get it right I don't care.

Dena I've already made my ressies at the Radisson. We'll be there on the 23rd and 24th.

I went shopping today The Disney Store was the only store that I made any purchases at. I got Ashley some really nice things, I am going to put them away for the cruise though. The CM told me that they will be bringing adult clothes back in October.

Well folks it's going to be a long week for me so I'll be back when I can. SEE YA!!!

 

[Poohbush]

All these Haloween ideas sound like fun. We'll probably decorate our door too. Don't know if we'll participate in T&T, as my DD might still be too young for candy (only 17 months old then.) Plus have to wait til we get closer to see how she is around strangers. Don't want her to get too scared.

Ginger, did you finally have sun today? We did, and it was great! Came out in the late afternoon. How far north of Baltimore do you live? Down here in Southern Maryland, it probably takes me about 1.5 hours just to get to BWI airport.

Hope everyone had a nice long weekend. Back to work tomorrow, ugh!

Oh, a big warm welcome to the new cruisers!

poohbush: where in Long Island are you? I grew up in Suffolk county, and moved to FL 8 years ago.

Dena

 

[Poohbush]

Hi Dena,

We're in Maryland. I've only visited NYC once, on a cold rainy Halloween day about 9 years ago. Never been to Long Island!

 

["Ginger"]

Hi All, short route today .

Poohbush we live in Harford Co. Md about 20 minutes from Balto City and about 40-45 minutes to get to BWI. Will you be driving or flying to Fla? We'll be driving.
I went to NYC once to meet Joe Namath and I did, he's the dreamiest. LOL :
Yes we did get to see some sunshine late in the afternoon yesterday. It's been raining off and on today just light showers.
I sure it doesn't rain tomorrow or Thursday I've got those awful cluster boxes to do.
Ya have a nice day.
