April 2, 2005 Magic-First DCL cruise-anyone going?

[pacercolt]

I'm looking forward to it too. However, I need all of the 60 some days remaining for my diet.

 

[anlashokna]

After digging out of a foot of snow (2 foot drifts) I'm really looking forward to the cruise now. I'm officially tired of winter now.

And DU of course sent the reminder today to pay off the rest Will do that the end of the week then its all official.

 

[DisneyCamper]

Good afternoon. Please add our little group of four as well. We have

DW - Mim
DD (11) - Megan
DD (9) - Melissa
and me (Tim)

We're from Indianapolis and are looking forward to the cruise!!! Although we haven't gotten as much snow as our neighbors up in Fort Wayne - it is still cold....

 

[greytlady]

Wonderful and Welcome! My kids (DS11 and DD12) will be thrilled there is another kid their age joining us.

No snow for me here in GA - just dang cold!

 

[BriarfoxinWA]

Welcome! Glad to see our little group growing.

We should try to figure out what we're going to do for a DIS meet onboard!

[greytlady]

When I was on the Wonder last year, we had our Dis meet at 3:00 in the Promenade Lounge. That way there was time for people to make the ressie rush but before the drill. Just an idea in case the time would fit.

My kids were able to catch a swim before the meet while we were still waiting for the rooms to be ready. So maybe if the kids want to meet at the pool earlier - that's another thought.

 

[cwf1028]

I know my kids and DH are hitting to pool first thing. Otherwise, they will nag me endlessly until we do. We're not making any reservations (are we crazy?) so other than lunch, we are just going to be relaxing by the pool and checking on luggage. Our schedule is pretty open!

 

[crystaldri]

My kids want to hit the pool first too! Only 67 days left!I can't wait. No need for us to book reservations cause we have the RESSIE package. I need the 67 days to lose weight too cause I know I will gain 2 pounds a day on the cruise. I'm sure it will be worth it!

[DisneyCamper]

Yes, we are flying ATA. Figure we might as well do what we can to help them out of bankruptcy...

The kids are pretty excited about the trip and will hit the pool first....

I hate to ask this but what is the RESSIE package?

Thanks and see you there!

 

[Realityfreakaholic]

HI..you can add another 4/2 cruiser:

DH (Billy)
DS 8 (Bailey)
DD 4 (almost 5)..(Krista)
and Me..V

Cannot wait..counting the days!

 

[greytlady]

Welcome Realityfreakaholic!


DisneyCamper,
I think we're talking about the REAS package:
According to Disney's website it says:

Romantic Escape at Sea:
Add $339* per couple to 3-, 4- and 7-night Disney Cruise Line® cruise packages.

On board, you'll receive:
- Romantic gift amenity delivered to your stateroom (one per package)**
- Couples massage at the Vista Spa & Salon
- Priority seating at Palo for one night
- Romance turndown service (one night)
- Champagne breakfast in bed (one morning)**

You probably already knew what's in the package but thought I'd posted just in case.

 

[RachelTori]

It's so nice to see the group growing. Unfortunately, after planning this cruise for almost 2 years, my family will have to cancel I know you all will have a wonderful time and I'll be miserable that week!

Laura


Now I'll have to get rid of my countdown clock

 

[BriarfoxinWA]

Oh, Laura, I'm sorry to hear that!

 

[cwf1028]

Laura, we are so sorry to hear you won't be able to go. We will miss meeting you! I hope everything is alright and hope you can go another time.

 

[RachelTori]

Thanks for your kind words, ladies. We will definitely do a cruise, possibly 2006. The trade-off is that we're buying a brand new house in Grayson, Georgia which we're all very excited about! Our house in Marietta sold in 4 days -- much sooner than I'd anticipated! So we'll be very busy the next several months!

Have a GREAT time. I'll be waiting for a trip report!

Laura

 

[Tiggerish]

Laura, I am sorry you have to reschedule. But congrads on the new house. I do not envy you the packing - - moving is a huge chore.

 

[Tiggerish]

Welcome Realityfreakaholic & Family

I have updated the list to include your family - - and noted those who had to drop out. I expect the list may have a few more changes as we get down to that final 60 day mark.

I was able to FedEx our final payment last night but I was sweating getting my 2004 bonus payment - - lets just say, that bonus never got a chance to rest in my bank account - - it went straight to Disney's.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I absolutely cannot wait. This is our first DC and the first cruise for my kids. They are watching the Disney Video everyday. I hope it lives up to our expectations, I'm sure it will. Hope to chat with you guys more and meet up on the cruise.[/FONT]
