Any Magic Halloween Cruisers 2003 out there?

[Rose_Greenthumb]

I am glad I don't suffer from asthma. I don't know many people that do anymore, they all seem to have grown out of it. I hope Michael is getting better.

I have a week and a day until the opening night of the play and I just realised that I don't know my lines! It's ever such a good job that I'm not main cast!

I was waiting my turn at Guest Services once when a CM hand a guest his account statement. I thought the man was going to have a heart attact it was over $1800.. Seems they let the son have charging privileges and he had a great time at the Arcade.

Andy at the magnets the size of the logo you have posted. Trying to figure out what size envelop to send you.

Ginger,

No need to send a self addressed stamped envelope, I have more than enough envelopes around here to use. Just send me your snail mail address, that will be fine.

I just received my shipment of blank magnets, I will print some of these off after work today. I have these small 3 1/3" round magnets, and I can also print off a larger version 8 1/2" X 11" if anyone would be interested.

Please send an e-mail to apwalters55@comcast.net if you are interested in any of these door magnets for your Halloween Cruise.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the notes and prayers. It's been horrible here for Michael - as Tiff, Andy and the rest of you who either have children with RAD, Asthma or just ill will understand!

We are doing claritin, singular, nasalcort, pulmicort, proventil and a nebulizer with albuteral for his coughing - which has still not improved but we haven't been to the ER since the weekend. KNOCK ON WOOD!

Tom and I feel both emotionally drained and physically exhausted at this point. But that's nothing compared to how Michael is feeling with compromised breathing. We will just keep hoping that God will show us the right path and we can follow it.

Emma, I have Chapter 2 and will definitely get to it! I have been trying to finish a Jeffrey Archer (Lord Archer) book now for a week but ......well, the priorities take over and then I forget where I was! Have you read him? "As the Crow Flies" would be a good start - or "Kane and Abel". He is one of my three favorite authors!

Best wishes to all for a dry, sickfree week!

Rae - sure hope you and your family gets some much needed rest and feeling much healthier soon!!!

Ginger - That is a great idea about paying in advance onboard credit - I think I might have to do that - Do you know if you can also do that through your travel agent? (DU)

Just starting to read this board as the trip is getting closer - but not close enough - Have you all talked about hooking up as dinner table mates? Although I am sure my DH will want to hook up with Rosegreenthumb and her family so he can talk about football the whole time (he is a brit and boy they love their soccer!)

Yes, Karen I am sure your TA can do this for you but, you may want to call Disney yourself because the CM will ask you how you want your Gift Cards made out, like "Happy Sailing from Mickey" "Love from Mom" you know personal stuff. Plus they will ask you for credit card number.

I got a $100. onboard credit yesterday from the Disney Visa Credit Card company. There was a coupon in this month statement offering $100. onboard credits with original bookings made prior to 7/15/03. Your sailing dates have to be between 8/30 and 12/13/03. When I first booked they were only offering $50. onboard credit. I did put on deposit on the cruise using the Disney Visa Card and paid off the cruise with the card. I called Costco whom I am using this time as my TA they called it in and Disney changed the $50. to $100.. So far I have 42 Disney Dream Reward Dollars to also use aboard the ship.

Rae, I am glad Michael is feel somewhat better.

We hooked up ressie one year with a large group from the boards and it was lots of fun. But, because we like to go to Palo and Topsiders for dinner as much as possible we don't feel it would be a good idea for us to do that again.

 

[KaitlinsMom]

sounds like I need to get a hold of a Disney Visa Card!! Although I am sure that my husband doesn't want me to get one!

 

[rae519]

Needing your prayers and good thoughts here!

First of all, Michael has been doing great! But we still are going to move away from this forested area.

Our bid on the other house was accepted on the contingency that we sell the home we are living in now!

So prayers, good thoughts, etc, are requested to get this over and done with....

Thank you all!

Rae: Wishing you the best with moving to a better location and selling your current house. So sorry to hear Michael hasn't been well. I really like that fella. Hoping all gets better and brighter. Looking forward to seeing you all on the cruise.

We're still just planning along for this cruise. Very, very much looking forward to it and hopefully meeting alll of the wonderful persons from the disboards.

 

[Verandah Man]

Rae,

Your magnets are going out in the mail Friday morning, keep an eye out for them next week!!!

Andy

 

["Ginger"]

Boy! Rae that was quick, I hope everything goes well for you. We are so happy that Michael is doing great.

 

[Poohbush]

Evening everyone!

Rae, Best of luck selling/buying houses. Hope all goes quickly & smoothly. Plus, glad to hear Michael is doing better, and hope you don't have to visit anymore ER's for a long, long time!

Had a nice weekend. It was finally sunny for more than 2 days in a row! We had our baby girl's 1st birthday party on Sunday. Boy did she have a great time! It's so hard to believe she's 1 year already! Time goes by so fast! Except for the time waiting for this cruise date to come!

 

[carole88]

Hi Everybody!

Rae - Good luck with buying/selling your home. Hopefully the new environment will be good for Michael. My DH sees a lot of kids with asthma in the ER and says that it is very hard on the family as well as the child. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Poobush - Happy birthday to your DD! Glad to hear that you had a nice party. It seems like yesterday that my girls turned one. Now they are 9 and 6. Time really does fly! (Except for the time it takes for this cruise to arrive!)

Hope everybody has a good weekend. DH & I are going to a hospital resident graduation party tomorrow. It is black tie so we are practicing dressing up for formal night on the cruise.

 

[rae519]

Thanks for the good wishes, friends - so far everything has fallen into place. I used to tell our oldest son, "If God intends it to be for you, things will go smoothly and quickly - if not, then He has something else in mind." I have to remind myself of that.

Michael's asthma is now requiring two nebulizer treatments per day. And his behavior has been alternating between three of the Seven Dwarfs (Grumpy, Sleepy or Bashful).

Paul - you wouldn't believe how QUIET he has become! Not the bubbly little dining mate we had with us in December! But I am sure that as the asthma abates, he will start feeling better.

Andy - I still didn't get to the PO with my photo albums, sorry! Maybe Ginger can come over and get them!!! What say you, Ginger? Could that constitute "special special delivery"?~!

Love to you all,
Rae

Hello every one,
Hi I am a little new to this, so please bare with me ( there is nothing like the first time)! My family and I will be on th cruise with all you guys! This is our first Disney cruise so any and all advise is welcome. A couple of things I am intrested in are as follows, how is the weather this time of year and is the water rough being huracane season and all? I have twin 11 year old boys should we plan to bring stuff for halloween with us? Is it better to take the Disney bus from the airport to the Ship or make arangements with a car service and wich would be easyer going back after the cruise? I know I have more questions but I cant think of them now. I look foward to hearing from the DCL experts Thank You!!!!!!

WElcome aboard NADTWINS


HI everyone back from a whirlwind week at IOA/US. We stayed at Portofino, to be honest I was not all that impressed. It was nice, but I believe The Royal Pacific would have been just as well.

RAE and Ginger the kids picked out postcards but I did not get time to mail them! Please let Ashley and Michael know that they will bein Mondays mail!

Carole we got in late last night and my DD hasnt had time to read Tessa's email. BUT as soon as we get caught up around here, I will let her read it

RAE I really hope Michael is feeling better!

GINGER, I just got my Disney VISA in the mail while I was gone. I have not had a chance to look through the inserts yet, but I would love to get that $100 on board credit, do you have any info for me on that? TEACH me OH WISE ONE! LOL

 

[mdvasquez]

Hey everyone it has been a while since I posted, due to the fact that I have had problems logging on, but here I am again.

I just got back for Orlando International, I put my daughter on a plane up to Virginia to my sisters house for 3 weeks. She is going to help with my niece while my sister packs up the house. They just bought a house in FL.

NADTWINS: Welcome aboard - your going to LOVE the cruise! If you have read our whole thread, you'll see we are planning a meeting on board as well as our own T or T for the kids. Some of us who sailed on Halloween last year did the same thing and my daughter had a better time with our own T or T than with Disney's. We took a count of how many children were going to participate (I think we had 23) and then brought our own goodie bags. As far as getting from the airport to the terminal, I can't help you on that, because we drive to the terminal.

RAE: I know exactly what you are going through with your DS. We went through that with my oldest when he was younger. What a scary and tiresome experience. When he turned 12 the doctor put him on zyrtec and singular and he has been doing great ever since!! Anyone that goes through the experience of asthma with a child is in my thoughts and prayers.

dzne My DH and I were in Orlando last saturday, we went to citywalk to the hard rock cafe to see a concert. It was actually our first time to the HRC and it was great!

Well, thats all of my news for now have a great evening everyone.

Welcome to our new folks and those who have been "away for a while"!!!!

Yes, I owe you and update! AGGHHH!!!! Hopefully it will be done soon!!!

Just wanted to pop in and say Happy Fathers day to any DADS out there that are reading this thread

 

[Rose_Greenthumb]

Welcome aboard Nadtwins!

I have the opening night of our school production on Tuesday which means dress rehersal tomorrow. It's bound to go horribly wrong somehow but at least it's only the dress rehersal.

My choir teacher won north west secondary school teacher of the year on wednesday. She's now been entered into the national finals so fingers crossed for her.

KaitlinsMom-what sitting are you likely to be on?

Hope everyone is well, I think it's only about 19 weeks until we'll be cruising disney style!
