Hello everyone! I haven't looked back too far because for some reason it takes me to other cruise dates! We are actually getting in on the 16th, and I'm not sure whats going on exactly yet but we will figure that out pretty soon!! We would love to meet up with everyone, definately! Is anyone on here hosting the Disney cruise party this sat. ? We got the chance to do it! It will be so much fun! By the way, are there alot of kids around the 11-14 age?

Welcome. Check out the spreadsheet. You can access it by the thread on the top of this page. Thread 1036. It list ages of some of the kids going. My DS will be 13 1/2 & my DD 10 1/2, (8th and 5th grade) for the cruise, so our kids are close in age. Congrats on you party. I'm sure it will be a blast!

Hi, that sounds great. The web site for some reason seems to also be slow.
Anyways, Thank-you for that info, and jake is also in 8th and Danielle is in 6th. By the way, what exactly does the d stand for in front of (I'm assuming) son/daughter?

 

[a7moulton]

I just checked that out, Thanks! I noticed alot of ma people and one is in wilmington. I actually live in tewksbury so thats pretty neat! please let me know how to get on that list. Thanks again!! Colleen

WELCOME!!!

Did you just book or just found the thread?

I'm Joan, the keeper of the spreadsheet. I've added you to our ever growing list.

I'm the one who tries to keep Hypermommy in check Unless you've had lots of caffeine, don't attempt to talk to her. Just kidding! We like to joke!

Boston, I LOVE that city! I used to go there every summer with my girlfriends and eat lobsters, shop at Quincy Maket (Boston Accent inserted) and go on a whale watch.

Again welcome. Don't hesitate to ask if you need help with the spreadsheet.

Hi Joan, We booked last year! I noticed you already put me up on the sheet. I guess theres no fooling around here!
We actually live in Tewksbury, north of Boston, but I know where your talking. Have you done this before? It seems like a great idea to get to know people before rather than a couple nights before we disembark!

Thanks again, Colleen

Welcome Colleen.
What cabin are you in? Early or late seating? Flying in Friday? Any excursions booked?
Dont mean to be nosy, just curious.

Hello, we are in 6567 and its late dinner seating. I know my husband already booked palos but Im not sure for what night. We are actually coming in on th 16th and staying at the homewood suites. My kids have never been to Universal so we figured we might as well do that this trip! I can't wait!!!

No, this is our first cruise. With all the wonderful experienced cruisers on this thread, I FEEL experienced. Thank god for this site.

I can't fool around with the spreadsheet or it would bother Hypermommy. She's always on top of things. I wouldn't want to hear those words, "Your fired!"

We are neighbors, I'm cabin 6542!!!!!

I make additions to the spreadsheet as I get info.

Hey there, hi there, ho there guys!

Couldn't answer for a while. After work last night I went to the gym. Now get this.... I weigh in before I start my workout and I'm down to 271. So then I work out -- 45 minutes on the arc trainer, 3 sets of 25 abs and 3 sets of 25 leg push machine things. And then, on a whim, I weigh again -- 276!! How the hades did I GAIN weight while I was working out????? Aren't I working out to lose weight???? How depressing!!

And this morning I couldn't let myself look at the boards becuase I had work to do on my website. I sold advertising and had to get the banner ad up!!!

Is anyone on here hosting the Disney cruise party this sat. ? We got the chance to do it! It will be so much fun! By the way, are there alot of kids around the 11-14 age?

My sons are 12 and 14. Oh, and by the way... at some point you asked what the D in front of DS or DD meant. Well, I guess it depends on how they're acting. Usually it means "dear" but there are times (especially with teenagers) that I'm convinced that my DS is a demented son. I think Bill Cosby had it right... they're all brain damaged!!!

I know my husband already booked palos but Im not sure for what night.

Find out and let me know so I can add it to the list.

Now Joan... you know good and well you're the All-Powerful Keeper of the Cruise Spreadsheet and I'm just your lowly servant. Your wish is my command, O Powerful One!

 

[Hypermommy]

We?????

I think I need more coffee.... I don't get it.

Welcome Colleen!

I'm the phantom starter of the thread from way back! I say phantom because I don't really get on this forum much; just have such little time in a day! I hate it when life gets in the way of Disney!

In any event, I hope to meet you on the cruise. DH's dad and step-mom live in South Dartmouth. We love making fun of her accent!!!! To which she responds, what accent?!

Don't get depressed - they say muscle weighs more than fat so you must be working those muscles hard! Go for it! I have an allergy to... the word excercise!!!!

Welcome Colleen!

Hypermommy - I have those feelings of depression regarding the scale sometimes too. I feel like I'm destined never to look like I did pre-kid. But great job working out!

Well my son loves preschool. He went in without hesitation yesterday and lasted all 2 hours without a problem. Today my daughter walked him to his class and he didn't even look back to see I wasn't there too. Kinda made me sad. When I picked him up, a little later than normal cause I was in a school meeting, his teacher said he had another great day, but about 9:30 got kinda sad. They had a student teacher observing today and that's when she came in so she thinks it had something to do with that. As soon as they got out on the playground at 10 he was fine. And when he saw me he wasn't in a huge rush to leave.

So I guess all that is good, especially after my daughter who cried every morning from September - January! But it sorta makes me sad in a way too, like he doesn't miss me.

I think it's often tougher on us than it is on them.

/hypermommy quips as she rushes back to work to figure out why the dratted program isn't working the way it's supposed to. Y'all send some pixie dust this way becuase I'm not sure what's going on.

Okay, so Dreams Unlimited just called me and said DCL asked if want to upgrade to a Category 3 cabin. I am so torn as to whether or not we should do it. We're in a Cat 4 gty right now. It's not a free upgrade, btw, but when we booked onboard our last cruise we had asked about Cat 3s. We didn't ask to be wait listed, but I guess they made a note in our file? So what would you guys do?

I just got tears in my eyes. You sound like me when my son went to preschool. Now he just started kindergarten this year and I felt the same way again. They just grow up too fast! Is this your last one? That's even worse!

He misses you, he's just a big boy now mommy!

I'm still working on that. I gotta double check how much we paid for the Cat 4.
