Any Magic Halloween Cruisers 2003 out there?

[dzneprincess]

hmmmmmmm Im not getting new threads notification? YOu all have been busy


Ginger I would love to upgrade but $1000? Gesh, i could have alot of fun with that money. We have 2 cat 10s booked...we are in 2071 and 2073 we are rather close GINGER.


Taylor will be emailing Ashley later today. I have been busy trying to get things ready for our trip so I havent been online much. We are leaving Saturday for Orlando. Do you know how HARD it is going to be to be so close to WDW but not go there?? LOL

I think on the cruise we will go to a DVC presentation. I would love to join, but I am not quite sureif we could afford it. Rae explained to me how the points work, but I am unclear of how much of an initial investment money wise that it requires.


Good news! I was called and told that I am NOT going to be laid off this quarter! WHE HEE! That saves me for a few more months ROugh world out there in the communications field! LOL


SO GInger, I know you are a mailwoman RIGHT? Andy is a meterman of some sort, my DH and I are telephone technicians, whats everyone else do for your clams? LOL


Nathaniel is getting so big! I added more pics of him to my album at www.picturetrail.com just search for dzneprincess album He is 5 weeks old tomorrow! I am going to feel bad leaving him with MIL on Saturday to go to Orlando.

Anyone have any tips about SeaWorld or Universal? I feel I am well prepared any time we go to Disney, or DCL but I feel ill-prepared for IOA/USO.

Zitofamily, I would like are boys to get to know each other before cruise, but I think Max doesnt quite understand email LOL


Tiff: I am glad you are feeling better!

Ginger - Thanks for the info on upgrading at Port. We have a category 9 so I will definately look into the possibility of upgrading. Does it take a lot of additional time at check in? I keep reading on these boards that we have to rush to make ressies for Palo and spa treatments. We don't want to miss out on everything. Did you get your Nemo comps from Disney? Got some last week when cover ups and sandals were on sail.

dzneprincesss - Glad to hear that you are not being laid off. We have a few friends that have recently been out of work and it was really hard for them to find new employment. My BIL works for Citibank and he doesn't know if the day he goes into work will be his last. BTW, I am a manager in the actuarial department of an insurance company. My DH is a soon to be 3rd year pediatric resident.

 

[dzneprincess]

Cool! So we got a Dr in the house eh?? LOL

 

[carole88]

Yes, we have a doctor in tbe house! It's pretty convenient for us. Really cut down on the kids visits to the doctor. DH just got his schedule today for his 3rd year. Luckily they honored his request for vacation time in October. I was afraid that we might have to cancel the cruise if he didn't get off.

Carole88 - Congrats to you for being the supportive spouse of a MD! Not that medical school is "easy", but spouses need their credit due also!

Hi All
Nemo was a cute movie, we enjoyed it very much.

I've had the past 2 days off from work, it's been great. Not sure how long it will last.
It's raining again here, boy I sure would like to see 3 or 4 days of sunshine in a row.

I know that I have posted this before but who knows on what page. My DH is a Tractor Trailer Driver for Frito-Lay. His travels take him mostly to the upper east coast states, Pa., NJ, all the way to Maine. For me, I deliver the mail to most of my surrounding neighborhood but not mine.

Carole88 don't stress the rush it's not that bad. If your thinking of upgrading try to be at the port early. They normally start broading around noon. Reservations for Palo are taken from 1:00-3:30pm, Spa ressies start at 1:45pm. This is subject to change as I have taken this info from an older Navigator.

My family loves 3nd year Residents. A 3rd year Resident saved me from dying after my splenic atery aneurysm while the Staff Doctors stood around while I coded saying we don't know what is wrong with her my savior a 3rd year surgery resident responded to the code blue and took drastic majors but the baby and I are the 14th baby and mother to have survived this type of trauma and that is because of our "angel 3rd year resident"

Welcome aboard!!!! On the Wonder last year I was stressed about making ressies at Flounders for my 16 month DS. I was first in line and made all the ressies I wanted BUT the baby did not like staying with out me so I am hoping this year he will like it

Here in Eastern NC we have had buckets and buckets of rain. I think I need to build and ark. We have so many tornado warnings I have made a fort in the master BR closet.

You poor dears!

I know what it's like to have to sit out a tornado watch - not much fun, especially when you want to chew your nails but have to be brave in front of the children!!!! Not at all a pleasant situation.

Take care!!!!

Rae

P.S.
You can use the ark after verandahman gets done with it in New Jersey!

We had somewhere around 2"- 3" of rain over the past few days, ark is sailing down my street tonight!!!

We have rain in our forecast so you'd better get the backup canoe patched up before the weekend.

Andy, if it gets warm, you can always start a shrimp farm in your back yard!

Hi everyone! I think we've borrowed all your nice weather for a bit, you may well get it back soon if you ask nicely.

I was ever so brave yesterday! I actually got up and auditioned for the solo in On My Own. The first time I've ever actually sung by myself infront of people. I was so scared, I can't tell you! I don't even know what made me do it but I was so gald I did. Thankfully I didn't get it because I really don't think I could do it infront of 400 people but Mrs W said she's going to make sure I do one next year

 

[buzz&woody'smom]

The good news is my boys (2 & 5) think Mommy is playing a fun game by hiding with them in the closet...............oh to be young again

Congrat's Emma, I have never been able to get up and perform in front of others so I hope you get the part

AAHHHHH!!! I just spent 5 minutes typing a post and when I sent it I was told I was not logged in. So I had to relog in and then my message was gone. So let me start all over again.

Welcome Zitofamily.

Happy anniversary and birthday to all who have had one.

Yesterday was our last day of school. YEAH!!!! Let summer begin!!

We have had some pretty bad weather here the past few days. On tuesday we had a tornado drill at school 20 minutes before dismissal. I had to call my kids at home to let them know, because they were home alone and the funnel cloud was spotted about a mile from our house. We had one pass right over our house two years ago, and not one thing was touched in our yard. The angels protected us all around!!

Ginger, I think I posted this already, but we will be in on T or T, Ashley 12, Brendan 13, Alex16 and my neice Kayla 2. Our stateroom will also hand out goodies. We are in room 6053.

Have a great afternoon everyone.

Dena

Hi everyone! Thought I'd check in!

OMIGOSH EMMA! You did On My Own! That is SO AWESOME! Plus you got to go to SCOTLAND just joking! I'm sure you were fabulous! I did that song too, for an audition. I didn't get it either! I think I'll stick with 'I Don't Know How to Love Him' from Jesus Christ Superstar.

School's out and Summer School's in . LMS (Life Management Skills) is SO boring, although we do watch a lot of movies and have a lot of guest speakers. I have NONE of my friends in my class and they all have A lunch while I have B lunch. I did however meet a nice group of people that I hang out with. We have a test a day and no time to study! Right now I have an 88 average, but that's really bad for me!

Ergh, okay so I hope you all have a fun time on your cruise! I wish I were coming with you this time! I see you're doing a lot of planning so it's sure to be great! If anyone has Elena from Italy as their server or assisstant server please tell her that Rory from last year's halloween cruise says hello!

 

[carole88]

Hurray! The sun finally came out today. Hopefully it will stick around. It would be nice to have a dry weekend for a change.


My 6.5 year old DD Tessa would like to know if anybody would like to become her penpal. She wants to get to know any other kids that will also be on the cruise. Please let me know if anybody is interested.


Rae - Thank you for the kind words. We have all been really supportive of my DH and are very proud of all that he has accomplished. (BTW, he is a DO not a MD.)

 

[dzneprincess]

Carole my DD would love another penpal! She has been writing Gingers DD for a few weeks now and absolutely LOVES it! Her name is Taylor and she will be 7 when we cruise! What I have been doing is typing for her, so if you would like send an email to mabell75@bellsouth.net

Rae: Please pm me or rather email me at the above address with your snail mail. CJ really wants to send Micheal a postcard from Universal. What is his favorite thing or character from Universal?

WE have had rainy weather here in my part too. We looked at the 10 day forecast for Orlando and surprise surprise, everyday we planned on being there is either scattered or isolated thunderstorms, dumb question here, but anyone know what this difference is between the 2? LOL

We will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary on the 12th if June! WOW how time flies, I still feel like the 18 year old I was when I married, yet Im an old married woman that has been married for a decade and has 4 kids!


My kids have been out of school since the 30th and they are already grating my nerves! LOL

 

["Ginger"]

DP have a great time in fla. Tell Taylor that I am sorry Ashley did write back today, it was beautiful here, we've had so few lately, Ashley spent the day playing outside. I've got to work tomorrow, a huge route and I just don't know if you'll be able to email her before you go. She did want to tell Taylor to go see the Beetle Juice show at Universal, it was great.
Rain is rain know matter how they put, but don't let that stop you from having fun. We want a full report when you return. Happy Annie any how.

Emma!!! You sing it girl!!!!! Sing your little heart out. Someday we will be able to say we knew you when... To be a *STAR*
Tessa can email Ashley too she is 6.5 they will be in the same club.
Dena thanks for the info.

I've been called back to work my fun days of being off are over for a little while. Take care Ginger

Here's wishing all you Halloween Cruisers a spooky MAGICal good time!!!

Carole: So happy to hear you are getting some sunshine. My children both go to a pediatrician that is a D.O. We love him. I had never been to a D. O. before, only M.D's. We wouldn't trade our D.O. for anything!

Emma: I'm a wanna be singer. The only person that has ever told me I have a good voice is my daughter because we sing together alot in the car. Bless her heart. When I sing in church with other people around me, I actually just mouth the words and barely whisper because I don't want anyone to hear how pitiful my singing really is!

dzne My husband and I are celebrating 10 years at the end of August, but, I was way older than 18 when we got married - LOL! That is why we have only two kids. It's way too late for us to have anymore. I dread even thinking about how old we will be when our 4 year old graduates from high school.

Well, we are off to Texas for a week. I'll catch up with all of you wonderful cruisers when I get back.

 

[rae519]

A friend has offered to make us magnets for our doors for the T & T.

These cost him so if you want one, it will be $2.00 and prepaid only and I will give them to those who paid at the Mustering.

If you are interested in this, let me know and I can make arrangements.

This is by no means a profitable operation for him - he's just a wonderful person with a great talent who wants to be generous and share some of that talent with us.

So let me know. I've seen the design and will try to show you as soon as someone helps me put it on my computer.
(I never said I was a computer wiz!)
