any1 going in december 17 2005 on the west

[AKB]

I hope to also do the REAS. Haven't added it yet, but hopefully soon. The idea of having palo and a spa massage already reserved sounds great. The breakfast in bed one morning will also be nice. The welcome basket will be a nice suprise for my husband, unless I can't keep the secret and tell him about it.

Keeping the secret from DH will be very hard. I can never keep a secret. I am also going to call Shirley at The Perfect Gift and get the girls a basket also. They will all be so surprised.




Hugs,
Tami

Hello,
I just saw your ice cream question.
scoops has all soft serve, vanilla and vanilla and chocolate swirl only. They have lots of different candies and sprinkles to go on the ice cream. It comes in a cone or a bowl. At the restaurants at dinner you get hard ice cream. They have vanilla every night and then a special tropical flavor that changes every night. On the kids menu they have the Mickey Bar that you can get at WDW. But anyone can get it, not just kids. You can even have 2 or3 or 4 of them. They will keep bringing them as long as you keep eating them. The restaurants also have sugar free vanilla with chocolate swirl upon request.

Hi All! Getting closer - just booked our airline. Somehow that always "seals the deal" for me. Now it is real! I am so looking forward to the Western itinerary - especially visiting Grand Cayman. Soon it will be time to start looking at excursions - Captain Marvin's sounds very interesting to me - just need to convince one other person in my familyt o go with me! But, I want to go bad enough that I just may go alone!

Do we have anyone in our group that is keeping track of our group? I don't mind doing a spreadsheet and sharing with everyone, I have done it before on some of our other cruises. Usually jsut add names, ages, city and state, cabin numbers if anyone is interested in sharing that sort of info, whatever anyone wants. Let me know - there is quite a bit of information in this thread but I do need emails since I can't attach anything to a PM or an email generated from the DIS.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Glad to have you aboard. Your grandkids will have a ball, guaranteed. Our grandkids will be along too. girls are 6 and 14, boys are 11 and 3.
It will be their second cruise, but first on the western. It will be our 6th disney cruise. Hope to be able to meet you and others on this thread once we get aboard.

Today we headed for Orlando to buy some furniture. We started talking about the cruise and how hard it is to wait. The next thing we knew we were headed for the port. We saw the Wonder in port, and counted 25 cruise line buses carrying happy cruisers to the terminal. I know our ship is the Magic, but somehow it helped to see that the ships are still there waiting for all of us. We tried to figure out how to stow away on board, but no such luck. So we thought about going to Jetty park and waving to the Wonder as she pulled out, but I figured that would be too painful to bear.
So we headed for home, happy to contemplate the near future when we would be on board sailing out to see.
At least for a few days we had our disney cruise fix.
Of course I never got my new furniture. Maybe that's why my husband didn't object to driving to the port. Next weekend, it's furniture stores no matter what!!!
Happy sailing to everyone. Hope you have ways to help pass the time too.

Hopefully everyone will be there, but you never know for sure. They all have rooms booked at the present.
Hope this helps your list. Now we have to decide where to meet on board.
Most who want to meet seem to do it around 3o on the first day. The Promenade Lounge on deck 3 is a great place. Lots of room, easy to find.
Everyone might consider this, it's early so we are open to suggestions on this subject.

[glindamood]

I will get started on the list this evening. Don't forget to add your emails - or send me a PM with your email if you don't want to post it.

I like the idea of a DIS meet in the Promenade Lounge but think we should also try and have 2 times - 3:00 can be too early and if you get all caught up with "things" on Saturday or are late arriving to the ship it is nice to have a backup plan. Maybe same time, same place again on Monday??? It really is nice to get to meet everyone - and you will be surprised how many times you bump into each other too.

 

[Disney Rocks]

Here is our information:

Our room numbers are 6068 and 6069.

Sandra and Murray

DD - Cynthia (22 1/2 years old)
DD - Crystal (20 1/2 years old)
DS - Curtis (17 1/2 years old)
DD - Cherilyn (9 1/2 years old)
DD - Catryna (7 1/2 years old)
DD - Caileigh (4 3/4 years old)

These ages are at time of cruise. We are from Canada.

If there is a 9 year old girl interested in talking to Cherilyn, she would love to write to someone.

Getting more excited by the day. We check the web cam at Port Canaveral every Saturday to see the Disney Magic.

Meeting on Saturday and then again maybe on Monday sounds great.

 

[AKB]

This is a great idea. Our info is:

DH - Frank
DW - Kathy
DS - Peter (16)
DS - Chris (13)

We are from Edmond, OK
Cat 9 cabins - 2014 & 2016
We have early dinner seating - (but may change to late)
This will be our first ever cruise

glindamood - Would you be able to have DIZ name and dining time on the spread sheet or will that be to much?

Also like the idea of meeting 2 times. The first on Saturday so we can put a face to the name and hopefully see each other as the cruise goes on. It was suggested earlier in the thread to do an ornament exchange at one of our get togethers. The Christmas cruise last year did this and they reported they had lots of fun. If others are interested in this maybe we can get something organized for our second meeting.

I agree, 2 meeting times would be nice in case someone can't make the first time they have a second chance to still meet.
Although I've never done a cruise meet before. However we did meet people in line, and then we ran into them all over the ship and clubs for the rest of the week. It was so nice to see a familiar face and to hear about some of their experiences on board. Everyone is always anxious to share.
It will be fun to see if some of us meet in line and don't even know it until we meet on board.

This is my first post. I was supposed to sail on May 15, 2004 to celebrate my 40th birthday, but then all of a sudden there was a baby on the way and I was too far along to get on the boat. We rebooked for the Dec 17 to celebrate DS' 13th birthday (actually 12/10). At the time we had to "make up" a birthday for DD since she wasn't born yet. Our TA was among the first on the list to call as soon as DD was born!

Our crew is as follows:
DW Denise
DH Chris
DS Michael 13 (plus 1 week)
DS Aaron 10
DD Aliyah almost 17 months

We're in 2572 and 2573
We're from San Diego, CA

Thank you for doing this!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Welcome aboard!!!
Just thought I let you know that there are some teens on this thread that are doing private posts to get to know each other before the cruise. Since you have a 13 year old, maybe he might want to be involved in it.
They are on this thread already, all he has to do is hit the reply icon and put it to either Fonzy, 14. jgrant03, 15, I think, cutie 13 ,I think. Fonzy is my granddaughter, the other two are boys. Fonzy also has a brother who will be 11 by the cruise time so he might like to get to know your 10 year old. Their mother is also on this thread under the name of campcoach in case you want to contact her. It's so nice for the kids to get to know someone ahead of time. Fony has cruised before and could probably answer any questions your kids might have. Looking forward to meeting everyone in about 8 months!

Hello everyone!

I have created an Excel spreadsheet with all the information from this thread and the PM's that were sent. I can't attach to an email from here so if you would like a copy of the list you need to get me your email address - and also tell me if I can add it to the list. Unless you tell me otherwise, I will add your email.

If there are additions or corrections to the list, let me know. I will create a distribution in my email and just blind copy all of you.
