Any Magic Halloween Cruisers 2003 out there?

[rocadonismom]

HI everyone. Well, we have a solution to the missing roommate problem. We called Disney and found out the I can just room with my parents (oh fun ). Not the ideal situation but, it gets me on the cruise. I'll post with a new room number as soon as we find out. Sorry to make you do all that work to the cruise listing Rae.

Quick question. I wanted to participate in the Halloween TOT as a hander-outer. Do we have any idea of about how many children? Ballpark would be great so I can start planning.

As for excursions; definately doing the horseback riding in Cozumel. Not sure what else. I'll be on my own for that excursion so would be interested in knowing if anyone else is planning on it.

Thanks for all the well wished! Can't wait to meet everyone.

Thanks for all the welcomes! It's nice to "meet" you, we're looking forward to seeing you.


Anyone planning to go diving? DH and I are certified and plan to dive in Cozumel. We haven't made any reservations, we were wondering if anyone else was planning to dive.

Does anyone know if their are rooms still available for this voyage? I haven't booked yet...

If you guys want me to get together the list of who and how many we have for Tor T, I will. Just PM or email me with your childrens names and ages and what stateroom you are in and I will get it together for everyone. I am wanting to order my goodies from oriental trader.

OLDEBEKN: Have you called DCL or had a travel agent call? There might be space as it sounds like CAROLYN1023 just canceled one of their rooms and is going to bunk with her folks.

CAROLYN1023: Way to go! Save some money by staying with your folks. They must be great people to want to go on a DCL cruise. Just be sure you determine ahead of time if you are expected to be with them for certain events, or if you will come and go as you please and if they see you, it will be a serendipity. Have a great time!

Sorry for not responding sooner. Just finished with a beading convention, NOW having time to truly focus on the cruise. Is the question am I looking to trick or treat, to be available for trick or treating, or ???? I saw some of the posts on this but not sure I completely understand.

Hi all (I'm being naughty and writing from work!)

I know in the past Ginger has been trying to get a list together of those who wish to participate in a DIS Board ToT session. Basically, we'll all go from room to room of those who wish to participate. While my DD is too young to go from room to room, we'll be glad to greet and pass out treats (so instead of Trick or Treating, we'll be Greet & Treating!)

Dena, congrats on hearing the baby's heartbeat. That was just amazing the first time we heard Katie's. I'll never forget the feeling! Also, hooray on saving the money!

Carolyn1023, so glad you can still come!

About 3 weeks ago, my family was biting our nails, wondering if we were still going to be able to go. My MIL has been, well not in the best of health, and had to undergo some surgery. Since that's over, the doctor is pleased with her progress, and doesn't feel that she should have to cancel. Of course, our first concern was her, but we were sort of disappointed talking about maybe cancelling! But, that's all behind us now.

I called the shore excursion desk awhile ago. They said they open up at 8:00am, and that for our Oct 25 sailing, Aug 26 is our big booking day! Can't wait!

Well, really should get back to work!

Hi Everybody!

Just got back from Las Vegas with my DDs and DM. Went on the Friday after the blackout. After getting stuck in Manhattan for 10 hours I wasn't sure if our flight was going to make it. Hats off to JetBlue. We left 4 hours late but I think that they were the only airline flying out of JFK that day. All of the employees were wonderful. Everything except the security checks had to be done manually. The employees were as accomodating as was possible.

This was our first trip to Las Vegas. My brother moved out there almost 2 years ago and just had a baby. We had a nice time visiting with him and his family. Also had a nice time on the Las Vegas strip. We stayed at the Monte Carlo hotel. It was really hot but we did get stuck in a huge thunderstorm on Saturday night. The Strip and the sidewalk looked like a river. We had to take off our shoes to walk back to the hotel. Always an adventure. It's good to get away but sometimes it's great to get back home. Thank goodness we had the power back on when we returned home.

I can't believe that we can start booking our excursions on August 26. We're still not sure what we are going to do. DH is in Central America this week with his hospital. I guess we will have to make a final decision when he returns.

Hope everyone faired well during the blackout. Good night!

Hi everyone:


It's been a long time since the last time I posted. I'm on the halloween cruise with my DH, sort of a 2 honeymoon before our anniversary November the 18th.

Hope to see you all!

Anyone bringing a costume for the halloween costume party?

 

[rae519]

Welcome Chary -
We will be having a meet and greet session at Promenade Lounge after the Safety Drill and before the Sail Away Party - please come!

Seems most of us are going to have a costume of some sort! I think even my Mom (74) will be in the spirit of things!!!!!




IF anyone will be staying at the Radisson before the cruise - please make sure you have your reservations made and also call the hotel to get a reservations for the shuttle (verandahman told me that this was important, and I always follow my older twin's advise)

If anyone would like to meet up on Friday night at the Rad - let me know so I can get my act together and update both the list of cruisers, the brunch group and the Rad group!
We are going to KSC on Friday 10/24 - if anyone else is interested.

Good morning Halloween Cruisers.

I have been envious all week. The radio station I listen to when driving to work was broadcasting from the Disney Wonder this week. To make it even worse, they would start the interviews with the CM when I was about 2 min. from work. We can have radios at our desks but I spend 85% of my time on the phone & would not be able to listen to anything other than music.

Welcome Chary!

I hope everyone had a good week. I will try to get back to the thread this weekend but I don't know. Most of the morning tomorrow will be spent at a soccer meeting. I cannot wait to see my 3 yr old & other 3 yr olds playing soccer. We should get a good laugh every Saturday morning for 2 mon. (We will miss the last game-Oct. 25)

Well, off to the treadmill.

Rochelle

P. S. We just received our final confirmation so we will try to make our Radisson reservations this weekend. We have to coordinate with my sister first.

 

[dzneprincess]

So how many are staying at the rad? I am. We have a king suite reserved.

 

[oldebekn]

Now for my next question. For those of you that have done the Halloween cruise before, how was the weather that week? Any rain? Is hurricane season done for the most part by then? Thanks....

 

[Poohbush]

Hi all! We're staying at the airport Hyatt, as our flight doesn't get in until 9:38pm. Too late with the baby to drive out to the coast.

Rochelle, don't be too envious. Our time will get here real soon! Plus, they're on the Wonder (a.k.a. short cruise) and we'll be on a longer one!

oldebekn, I've not cruised the end of October, but our 1st Disney Cruise was during the 1st week of October (2000.) The weather was beautiful. Hurricane season officially ends Nov 30, but I think historically, the seas are calmer by the end of Oct. Of course, there are no guarantees!

Rae, is Andy doing an Eastern or Western this week? He's so excited! Is this his 1st Disney cruise? I don't remember.

We're staying at the Radisson too. Can't wait!

Rochelle - this happened to us while we were on the Magic!
When we got home, Mom told us that someone in a very close town to ours was talking LIVE from the Magic and interviewing people (guests, CM's and Officers). I asked my local DJ buddy if the station would spring for the cost of a call when I was on my Western and he laughed....and laughed...and laughed. Guess that's a big no!

We are at the Radisson on Thursday and Friday night!

Please forgive us, this is our first Disney cruise. Did someone post that we can start booking excursions on Aug 26th? How would I do that? I've been on DCL's website but I can't pull up any information on our cruise, I think because we booked our cruise through Expedia and we don't have a DCL confirmation number.

I learned my lesson, next time I'll book through DCL or DU!!!

But I'd at least like to take a look at the excursions and start booking. How would I do this?

TIA,

Wendy

Wendy,

Just visit disneycruise.com and click on the fun ashore link. There's a list of excursions by island. Or have your TA get a list of them via fax.
