Once again, there is no longer a website. Noone offered to transfer it to their control before Ivillage shut down on 2/28/05 which is where the 12/17 website was. It is now gone.

I just went on ebay and bid on some pirate costumes for my daughters for the cruise. So far I won one for my 5 yr old. She can not wait for it to arrive. Now I only have 3 more costumes to go. I know what we are going to all be for Halloween this year, LOL

Hugs,

Happy St. Particks Day to everyone,
especially to campcoach and Fonzy, from this thread. They are one of my daughters and grandaughter. We'll be easy to spot at early dining, there are 15 of us, unless someone has to cancel. Anyone else have early dining?
We prefer it over late dining as we are all very hungry by that time after going all day long on the ship. Will be our 6th cruise with Disney.
9 months to go!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait,

Howdy,
You sound like a young adult. I have 4 grandkids coming on the cruise too. The girls are 6 and 14, the boys are 3 and 11. Do you fit into their age group? If so let me know and you can meet through this thread if you like. I know they would love to know someone before they get on board. It will be their second cruise, and they have been to WDW a few times. They will be there again this summer and just before the cruise. They could probably give you a few tips or answer any questions you might have. The 14 year old girl is on this thread, under the name of Fonzy, she hasnt had any replies yet, so feel free to write if you want. I'm going to WDW this weekend, but we go almost every weekend because we live very close. You'll have a great time there,especially at Christmas time, but be prepared for crowds.

OMG, our mail came yesterday and my dd5 pirate costume came in. She tried it on and loved it. It is sooooo cute on her. i will have to take some pics of her in it. Makes the cruise seem more realistic now. before it seemed so far away and now it is slowly creepin up.

Has anyone been to the pirates party on Disney? When we cruised in Sept last year they did not have it. It seems like alot of fun.

Hugs,
Tami

I printed out all the excursions and trying to see what ones we want to do. Any of them better then others. We go to Key West ALL the time so we will not do any there. I would like to do the Stingray's but I am not sure if my younger one would enjoy it. Last cruise we had to beg the kids to leave the ship while we were in Nassau, LOL. My DH would like do to the Shipwreck and Reef Snorkling.

ANyone else have ideas? Can you booked these excursions now or is it best to wait? Last cruise we did no excursions. It was inbetween hurricanes and we had no money left. This year I want to spend, LOL

Hugs
Tami

Howdy John,
Please drop a line to Fonzy, who is back a ways on this page. She will be 14 on the cruise and her brother will be 11 so your brother could make a friend too, if he wants to. Both of my grandkids are very good about meeting new people. They are actively involved in all kinds of stuff. So they are use to interacting with ther kids they dont know. I'm sure you'll get along great. Dont let being shy stop you from writing! If you can't find Fonzy, watch for Campcoach, also back a ways on this thread. She is Fonzy's mom.She is very involved with kids programs. She is a campfire leader, works with the special needs kids at school, does countless hours of volunteer work at the childrens museum where she lives and much more. Both would love to hear from you or anyone from your family. I don't think they know that I'm on the thread now too so you could surprize them by telling them you've met their grandma, my name is Kathy. It's been cold and windy most of last week, but today is sunny and suppose to be 80. This is the longest cold spell we've had here in Florida since we moved here 5 years ago. Fonzy lives in Oregon, so she is use to all the cold. Let me know if you write,
sincerely mom x4,grandma x4

Hello,
Just a note about excursions. Book as early as you can, some of the most popular excursions fill early. We have been on a lot of cruises and done excursions everytime and we call and book about 90 days in advance of the cruise. Our first cruise we didn't know anything and some things were already booked by the time we got the paper in the mail and sent it in, that's why the excursion form has places for more than one choice. We have not been onn the western cruise yet, so I don't know which excursions are best for it.
I'm sure all of them will be fun.
Less than 9 months to go!

[mom x4 grandma x4]

I'm happy to hear your going to drop Fonzy a line, I know she will like that.
Since this will be your first cruise, and she has gone before, please dont hesitate to ask her any questions you might have. She has a great story about a famous ex-football player she met on a eco hike on St. Johns Island, and what her grandpa did to them. Ask her to tell you about it, it's funny.
We are suppose to be about 80 again today, but it is cloudy and we may get a shower or two. There is a lot of new things at WDW this year. If you have time before the Christmas party maybe you can check out some of them.

Howdy,
We have been on 5 disney cruises, our 6th will be this december and we are booked already for the last week of november 2006 and the first week of december 2006. That is back to back 7 day cruises. We don't even have to get off the ship between cruises, we just stay on board and keep the same room for both weeks. That will really be fun. I have never been to Cozumel.
But people I've talked to say it's great. I have been to Nassau, castaway cay, St. Thomas, St. John's,St. Martin's and Paradise island, Freeport. That is quite a few. I would love to do the 10 day disney cruise because it goes to ports they do not normally stop at, but those cruises book up right away.
I'm glad you wrote to my grandaughter, she is on spring break this week. They went to the beach but I think she is probably back now.They are very excited too. We are hot and rainy today. I wish the weather would make up it's mind here. At least we are warmer than you are. 39 is way too cold for my old bones!

mom x4,grandma x4; I also sent a message to Fonzy about my 2 teen boys going on the cruise. I think it would be great if the teens get to know each other via e-mail before the cruise. Anxiously awaiting our first cruise.
Kathy

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

I'm so glad to hear you have two teens she can write to. Fonzy has been on the eastern cruise so she may be able to answer some questions your boys may have since it's their first cruise. It will be our 6th. And we have 7 day back to backs booked for 2006. So whenever it seems like Dec 17 is so far away I just start the count down to 2006 and this cruise does't seem so far away. I'm even more excited than the first time because I know how much fun I'm going to have. Each time I do different things so it's like a first cruise all over again. The shows are fantastic too. very talented people.
Have you and your family ever been to Disney World? We live 40 minutes from there and have annual passes and go every weekend most of the year. One of my sons and his wife work there too.
great hearing from you.

[fonzy]

Hi this is Fonzy. I will be going on the dec.17 cruise. I will be 14. If you are a teen and you want to know others before the cruise then replay to this post.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hi Fonzy, Guess who I am.
I know you and I know you have a younger brother and a dog named Spike!
Spike is a big coward, right.
You have a neice and nephew that will be on the cruise with you.
Have you figured it out yet?
My name should say it all.
