I swear it came up with some domain registery yesterday though. It must have been the stressed vibes going thru my keyboard though. I was checking to see if anyone else with young kids signed up. YEAH!!! There are more.

Lisa....just a little note to let you know that you're not crazy. I checked yesterday, too, and got the same domain name page.

Alex...are you sure you're not trying to make us think we're nuts??

Next week we'll be under the 200 mark, folks!! Can't wait!

I wouldn't even question the fact that it was completely something that I did. Yesterday was soooo bad. Wish I had my feet up on one of those lounge chairs on the deck with the kids in the club right now!!

 

[alexturner74]

Sorry about that kids... Let me know if you have any problems again. You can email me directly - alexturner74@hotmail.com

I am so happy to see this thread. I have been off the boards for a while, and there was no thread last time I was here. We too will be on the 11/15 cruise. We are me (37), DH (41), DD (6.5), DS (almost 5). I am very honored to be part of your group!
We were on the December 1st 4-day Wonder last year. We were actually one of the canceled November 30th cruisers (Norwalk), but had a great time anyway. So now, WE ARE CRUISING FOR 1/2 PRICE! So, we are really, really happy!
Alex, I tried your site and couldn't get it. Is it working? I will send you my info anyway.
Thanks everyone!

 

[alexturner74]

Welcome nedleycan...

The site always seems to be working for me. Just tried it with no problems. I'll get your info up shortly...

[mkauffman]

Thanks for posting that! I remember being over 300! Yippee, skippee!

Welcome to our group Nedleycan! Alex has a great site going, check it out!

Hooray! We broke the 200 days mark!

My DD (4) is fixated on the fact that she can call and have chocolate chip cookies delivered to her whenever she wants. We probably shouldn't have mentioned that part especially to our little Diva in training!

For all those having trouble accessing Alex's site it's probably that you're entering www. before the cruise.alexandjessica.com. If you type in the www you'll get that domain page. If you just enter the cruise.alexandjessica.com directly after the http:// it will work.

My TA just called to let us know that Delta has consolidated flights out of Orlando on the 22nd resulting in our 2:30pm non-stop flight being cut. Delta originally put us on the 11:00 but our TA said that DCL recommended changing it because they didn't think we could make it in time. The result: we are still on a non-stop flight (we booked our own air so that we could guarantee this) but it's at 4:30pm. Can anyone give me an idea as to how late we can disembark. Not looking forward to spending hours on end at the airport with the kids. Hopefully all this airline consolidation won't result in more schedule changes.

Thanks.

From everythng that I have been told, everyone has to be off the ship by 9 am. That is good news for us because we want to spend the day at the Kennedy Space Center before heading to WDW & didn't want to be rushed being able to see everything there. I have read here that there are hotels that offer day rates & you can use the pool if you are going to have that long of a wait. I'm sure someone who has actually been down there could give more options about what could keep the kids busy & you sane.

I just told DS that there will be other kids on the ship with him in the clubs & he got so excited. LOL!

 

[mcampbell_22]

Thanks for the quick response Lisa. We've purchased the DCL transfer so going too far from airport doesn't seem likely. The hotel idea bears looking into. Thanks.

My DS is also very excited. He says he can't wait to meet his new friends. He certainly is a people person. Will your DS be attending the Oceaneers Club. We plan on signing our two up and it would be great for their "friends" to be there too.

This is so frustrating. I have tried both Explorer and Netscape and neither is working. And I am entering it correctly too. I am get a message that says "connection problem". I will try on my husband's PC (I am on a MAC). I would love to see this wonderful site!
Thanks to all of you who sent me messages. I can't wait to get to know all of you over the next 199 days!
Mary, from our previous Disney cruise, I believe you did have to be off the ship by 9:00 ish. And everything is closed on the ship anyway, so there really isn't anything to do in the morning. The hotel is probably your best bet. Are you set on keeping the transfers? Last time we rented a car for the trip to and from the port, and it worked out great. It was cheaper than the transfers, and allowed us to visit places along the way. That is something to consider.
So, I see that there are a few boys around my son's age, but are there any 6 or 7 year old girls in our group? My daughter loves making new friends on vacation.

Oh yes!!! William (turns 5 11/14) will definantly be in the Club. He is really looking forward to it. I have read that you can take the kids to the Lab as guests as long as you stay with them. I'm sure that I will have to take him there since he is amazed by the Buzz Lightyear computers. LOL! My project for this summer is to PT Kaitlyn (turns 3 9/4). William wouldn't train until he was 4 1/2 but was dry from then on even at night. She wants to sit on the potty on her new Blue's Clues seat but nothing has happened yet. If she doesn't get trained, then we wont have any alone time. I know that she would do great with William but wont even waste time trying to put her in flounders. Besides, why do the added expense when we really don't have to. One of the reasons for waiting until November was to give her as much time as possible.

Here's the link I have saved.

http://cruise.alexandjessica.com/

That link didn't work for me last week but it came up as a registration site for a couple of us then. HTH!

 

[nedleycan]

I tried on my husband's PC too and it didn't work. When he gets home I will see if he has any ideas.

Lisa, I have heard that if the child is discreetly in Pull-Ups and doesn't do "number two" in her Pull-Ups, then she can go in the club. Is she a very scheduled person? I know that some kids go "number two" every morning or every night, so you would know when to have her with you, and when she can go in the club. Just a thought...

We are going to request that our son (2 months shy of 5 when we cruise) be allowed to go into the 5-7 group. He was 2 months shy of 4 when we last cruised, and we found that even then he would have been better in the lab then in the club. I found the club activities too babyish for him. He has gone to Montessori school since he was 2.5, so he is used to being with older kids and used to being taught during the day. The club was more play, and the lab had some educational sessions (which he prefers). Hopefully they will allow him in the lab. Others have told me that it should not be a problem, and that he will be put in there on a "per day" basis, and as long as he can keep up with the others and doesn't cause problems, they will let him stay. We are crossing our fingers!

nedleycan, William probably would like the lab, however, without him our chance of Kaitlyn staying in the club & being more comfortable would probably be gone. We have never been to anything Disney so this will be a great experience for them to share. I've checked out the navigators & they look like things that both kids will enjoy together...I hope. Now, if Kailtyn is no where near being able to stay in the club I will just sign him up in the lab. With his bday being right after the 10/18 cut off here, he is the oldest kid in his class...will be in the 4 year old class next year. He is pretty advanced & just keeps trying to learn more. He also LOVES to be around BIG kids.
