April 11th 2009 Magic Eastern Easter cruise--UPDATED WITH ROLL CALL PG 1

[Grumpymom73]

Having problems wit PM so here is the information.

Dan and Deanna from Clermont FL along with daughters Lauren 11, Akeya 10 and Olivia 8. This Olivia's first ever cruise as she was adopted from Ukraine. She is very very excited.

Wow another family from Clermont!! I'm starting to think the whole town will be on the ship. AnaRN and I are also from Clermont. I knew Clermont was growing but that's pretty funny.

Whoa....3 families from Clermont - Us, you all and GrumpyMom!!! That is neat!

Welcome aboard.....we are also a family that was blessed by adoption. Actually...today is our 1 year "Famiversary" (family+anniversary) ...we adopted our youngest daughter from Vietnam. And we've just had dear friends return - about 2 weeks ago - from the Ukraine. They expanded their family with the addition of a very active 5 yr old boy.

I can't take this waiting anymore....and it is chilly here today....bring on the cruise!!!!!!

Yeah....my thoughts exactly!?!?

Hmmmmmmmmm....AND....our family is in the exact cabin that YOU had last year....spoooooky!

I'm not sure about the FE but to get on the roll call simply PM me with your names, kid's ages and where you're from. But do it today because I leave in the Am!!!!!

Kelli
No, I'm not too excited!!

Kelli - I guess we won't chat with you again until we meet on Sat. I hope you and all your boys (DH included) have a fabulous time at Coronado Springs this week. We are very jealous that you will be at WDW while we are still packing!!! Safe travels!

The second meet is at 3pm at Promenade Lounge, on Deck 3. I plan to be there so we can meet some of the folks who get in later. If no one is there right at 3pm, please don't leave! Give a few minutes to those of us who are always late!!! If for some reason, the lounge is closed, we can meet in the hall outside of the lounge. I don't know what it looks like, but I would imagine there is enough room for us to say hello. It will be great to put a face with the names! And I want to know about everyone's disname....especially "Oatmealdiva" and "Grumpymom73". I am sure there's a good story there!

To all of you who've adopted children, God Bless You! We are looking forward to meeting your families.

See you all soon on the ship and some of you we will see Friday at the Radisson. I am looking forward to relaxing at the pool on Friday! I will have my beach bag with my alien green mickey head hanging from the strap! I will be the really pale chick who needs some sun! My DD's were trying to get sun last weekend, but this week it has been too cold! Bummer! The heat actually came on today! I am ready for sun and fun!

 

[cruising fun]

Brrrrrr.....it is CHILLY here in Central Florida this am!

I can't wait to get on that cruise ship!!!!

The weather should turn again by the end of the week and they are predicting low 80's on Friday and Saturday!!! Hurray!!!!!

Only 4 More Days


Anyone else having trouble sleeping cause they are so excited??!!??

I am glad I am not the only...I haven't slept well in days...My mind is just thinking about packing and the trip!!

We are very excited and can't wait to meet everyone. The next few days will be busy for all of us. Safe travels to all of you as we all begin to leave for our trips. Can you believe it is finally here!!!! Today was my last day of work so I can focus just on preparation for the trip! See everyone on Saturday!

 

[kellimomo3]

I'm too excited to sleep!!!.....

 

[anjiellisvt]

Kelli and family, have a safe trip.

FloridaCruiser, WELCOME!! I have a DD 10 and a DD6, hopefully you will come to one of the meets so they can meet each other.

I can't wait to leave. I've got so much to do and the time is starting to creep up on me. My kids still don't know (at least I don't think so). Not much longer. It's actually cold here today and tomorrow so that will make the Florida sun that much sweeter.

As far as the FE, we are doing an exchange, but we cut the list off 10 days ago so everyone has enough time to get the gifts together. Sorry.

 

[Grumpymom73]

kelliemomo3 - Have a great time at the Coronado! I'm jealous too. See ya on the ship!

Had2disneycruz - We will try to make it to one of the meets. Maybe we will meet at the Radisson on Friday. I'll look for your green tag. I still haven't made it to Home Depot. In case I don't get there for a tag I always carry a blue bag. It's an imatation Vera Bradley bag with Mickey Heads on it. ( I love Vera but I couldn't pass up a Mickey Vera even if it is a fake )

Count me in as another person who is too excited to sleep!

This is Grumpymom73's younger son Justin. I can't wait for the Pirate Party. How about you guys? I can't wait to meet all the kids my age. See you at the Lab.

I will definitely be on the lookout for that bag -- it sounds way cute! My girls love Vera Bradley bags. But I bet they would rather have a Mickey one!

 

[L2ConD]

Thanks, everyone, for the nice welcome!

I have everything all laid out on the guest bed, but I haven't started flinging stuff into the suitcases yet. I did make sure to get my adult beverages, though!

My poor teens are swamped at school with projects and tests -- I think they're more ready for some down time than I am.

I hope to be at both meets!

Grumpymom - I got lots of paint chips from Home Depot so don't worry about getting by there. Hopefully, I will run into you at the Radisson. My bag is a big Lands End bag. It's beige with light purple trim and it has our last name embroidered on it. You'll know it me with all the girlies around! Our group has 11 girls ranging from 4 to 15. Crazy!

Hi Justin!

Sleep? Who has time for sleep?

Floridacruiser - Oh No! A cast! Not fair! Everyone will be able to pick you out of the crowd! Just kidding! So sorry about the cast! At least we will know who you are and we'll always say hello!

 

[TBRox]

HI All!!!

Welcome to all the new 'posters'....

Well this is it for me and DH (our last Official days at work - DH will be "Blackberrying" until we leave port I"m sure!)... The kids last day of school is tomorrow (DS has had 1/2 days all week due to Parent/Teacher conferences and ours is tomorrow afternoon) - This gives me a nice quiet morning to pack all the luggage in peace without interuption - except for the dog who will probably be pulling everything out of the suitcases as I'm putting them in - he defininately knows something's up!!

Going to Laminate my Green Mickey's today! Wish I knew which bag I'll be totting - I try to travel lighter than ususal (but we all know about those best laid plans!) - But we'll all be in "matching Hawaiian shirts" - hopefully in a different pattern from everyone else

SNOW flurries in NJ all morning...makes the thought of our cruise that much sweeter! "Now bring me that horizon"...jack sparrow

See you real soon!

--Sally

 

[Grumpymom73]

Safe travels Sally!!

I'm jealous of everyone leaving. My DSs both have school Thurs. I took a day off to go on DS10's field trip. All day with a bunch of 4th graders I will most definitly need a DOTD! Maybe two!

Still working on some last minute laundry and packing. It just never seems to end. I'm also trying to clean the house but that never seems to end either!

Oh well soon enough we will all be sailing away and leaving all of our troubles behind.

 

[dawn_ladybugs]

My children, son (14) and daughter (11), and myself will be joining all of you. We can't wait. We had snow this past week in Michigan and can't wait to get to the beach, sand and sun.

 

[cruising fun]

Welcome to all those who have joined us...we really have picked up some new cruisers the past .

Well today I finished all the last minute shopping and worked on some laundry. Tomorrow I will finish the laundry and packing and work on cleaning the house. I like to clean before we leave...it is nice to come home to a clean house!

Friday is my day of pampering...I am going for a mani and pedi in the morning and then getting my hair done in the afternoon.

The end is here.....then we can live it up in paradise!!!

Safe travels to everyone. We will miss you at the 11:00 meet. We hope to make the 3:00. I Have my alien green tag on my bag already!!!

Mickey Mouse here we come!!!!!
