Hello everyone --

Its been awhile since I last posted. Spring sports started (DD - lacrosse and softball; DS - lacrosse and baseball) , kids trying to keep on top of their work before we leave and work has been very busy.

Does anyone have any older children cruising? My DD is 10 and my DS is 15. It would be really nice for them to find someone to hang around with.

I have done some last minute shopping as well as tidying up all those loose ends.

Hope everyone had a great day.

My dd is 9 3/4 (that 3/4 is VERY important!) She'll be in the 8-9 group. She's just a tick away from being able to move up to the 10 yr old group, but even so, she doesn't want to. She states "I don't want to hang around with a bunch of girls who talk about make up and boyfriends!" So she plans on staying in the 8-9 group. Size wise she's a little petite thing and will fit in better there anyway.

Camickey, One of my life mantras is, when the child inside dies so do I. So I plan on keeping that child inside around for a long time. :cool3: :thewave: :space: I think I will have me a mickey bar for breakfast.

I am not sure if Miss Mass is married but since she was being called Miss I chose Mrs. as I am married.
Anyhow, it doesn't matter to me what anyone calls me.
Take your pick
Mrs Mass

Hey everyone! I can't believe how many posts there were since I last checked. There were 5 new pages!

I can't remember who asked any more, but my kids names are Joey (DS5) and Maggie (DD5). We will be at the pool wearing our lime green mickeys as soon as we can get there (today would be good)!

The weather here in Wisconsin has turned cold again - 40's and 50's the last few days. At least we don't have to worry about wearing any of the clothes that we want to bring on the cruise. We won't be wearing shorts here for quite a while!

For whoever was taking a poll of age - I graduated from high school in '85. I am old enough to remember watching Love Boat every Saturday night!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend! Two weeks from today we will be in Key West!

Class of '86 here and I, too, watched Love Boat every Saturday night. After that was Fantasy Island....da plane, da plane.

Hello everyone. What a relaxing day today. My son decided to go in the swimming pool since the air temperature was about 85 today. Of course the pool temperature was only 64 - Didn't faze him one bit. No way I am getting in there at that temp. Of course I can remember when I was a kid in Chicago, we would get a monkey bar and open a fire hydrant to get cooled off (until the fire dept came and turned it off).

KC - What did you start with this Gofer thing???? And you are also behind the Miss Mass and MRS MASS thing. LOL

GoofyGuy1958 - I understand completely.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. - Mike

See ya'll there!! (you know I had to say ya'll being from NC)

 

[PizzieDuster]

Mike, and all others......


What are your plans for formal night attire? Tuxes? Suits?


What are other 14 and 11 year old boys wearing for formal night? This is the only thing I'm still trying to figure out.

Suggestions....anyone?

TO AVOID ANY MORE CONFUSION.. I plan to wear a shirt and tie with a sports jacket, and A PAIR OF PANTS

I have heard others that will be doing similar..

It got people talking.. and that is a good thing...

[fireguy5620]

Ok, now what are these Lime Green Mickeys from Home Depot (the store of all stores)???

Now, a question looking for an AVERAGE response...if everything about your trip is paid for, cruise, airlines, after cruise hotel, except for entertainment, tips and other misc. items how much extra fundage should I plan for, just a guestimate would be good- I was thinking 3000.00 for the 7 day cruise, 1 night hotel prior and 3 days in Orlando for 10 days total. Any ideas?????

 

[fireguy5620]

I haven't been in a Tux since I was married, on second thought maybe I shouldn't wear a Tux...

My DW is all giddy about dressing all up and playing fancy for a night, so I am going to humor her and go all out with the tux thing I think...If I can find somewhere to get my measurments. It should be fun...

Then semiformal night, we will do just that- dress (not me wearing it), shirt and tie with Blue jeans...lol

 

[DisneyForLife]

KC22 - I didn't do the western last time but I believe we dock at Key West and Cozumel and tender at Grand Cayman.
Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Mike - You are making me jealous, I absolutely love my pool, I wanted it more than my kids. But here in Mass we are lucky if we get into it by the end of June. And even then it is chilly. We were supposed to heat it this year to extend our season but other more important things won our money. You know, DCL, two trips to Disneyworld. LOL

 

[KC22]

those are good things to spend your money on.. KC

FYI.. KC is not just a moniker.. I prefer people to call me that.. Kevin..

I thought reading the trip reports that this was the case, maybe Mike knows..

Thanks Mike and KC22. So far, my exams seems to have gone well. I have received four of my five marks back, and thus far I have an 89.5 average (I'm hoping the last one will bring it over the 90 for me.

Exams really do eat up a lot of personal time, and a lot of my sanity quota So look for the crazy person on the cruise and that'll be me!!!

I'm just happy to finally be home. Now onto job hunting and packing for our cruise

Have a great Disney Day everyone
Katdb

 

[KC22]

well celebrate the final exams with something nice, maybe a cruise..

OH YEAH YOU ARE LOL..

good luck job hunting (but not 12 days from now).

[CAMICKEY]

PizzieDuster - Blue\black Coat, white shirt, Mickey tie, dark slacks, socks and loafers (and underwear of course). DS6 I'm not sure about yet (will need to ask the boss). For semi-formal I'm still pondering.

KC22 - I guess it was Ok it for nothing else to get people talking - but the Love Boat. LOL And Yes, you did post that you liked being called "KC". DOck at Key West and tender at Grand Cayman

fireguy5620 - Make sure you get pictures if you are going to get this dressed up. As far as the expenses, we believe we will spend anywhere from 1200 to 2000 on just the cruise (for 3 persons). Seems like 3000 should be plenty. Lime green mickeys are in the paint department (of all the places to find a lime green Mickey. LOL - I plan on putting some on my suitcase to make it earier to spot as well)

Katdb - Good going on those exams. A good education is so important to getting ahead. Keep up the high marks and hope your 5th mark takes you into the A's.

DisneyForLife - We absolutely love ours as well. We normally heat it from mid May and then keep it on until early October. The biggest cost is initially heating it. When we first bought this house and heated it up the first time ever, our next gas bill was $ 750. I was shocked to say the least. I couldn't believe it so I went and read the meter. Lo and behold, they had read it wrong.- but it still cost about $ 175 to get it up to a good temperature (We like to keep it at - now don't laugh - 82),
