I think a teen meet is great! I think I can get Nicole there for the ice breaker at night too. I will ask her to just do one thing for me and go to that and see how she does.

Here's my 16 year old girlie, her birthday was yesterday!

And with her 13 yo brother

 

[JMTStone]

Oh, and this is, from the left, Mark now 16, me (Deb), Jennifer now 20, and DH Eric.

Beautiful family! I'm really glad everyone is posting photos so we can see each other.

We have plenty of teens and young adults on this cruise. I think everyone will get along fine. They all have something in common (I think)... parents who are crazy about Disney.

We haven't had a question in a while - lets try another (since my last question was not answered - we may be the odd couple out on that )

Favorite port and excursion or if this is your first cruise, what you're looking forward to the most?

Since we are talking about meets, I would like to make some nametags. I will make them to fit in the pocket that comes with the lanyard on DCL, but they won't have a lanyard with them. I'll make one style for adults and one for kids (younger than 18).

Post after this and I'll start keeping a list. I will put all nametags in this format

Real Name
(DIS Name)

Be sure to tell me what you want for each, or if you just want one.

Example:
Adult
Nancy (kathleena)

Child
Nicole (future DISer)

Like the fish extenders, I will have a cut off of July 1st to give me time to get them all printed. I will hand them out during the meets as I see all of you. It will be a great chance for me to meet everyone!

 

[kathleena]

Other Meets????

Do we want to plan anything else on the ship, eg we are not going ashore Nassau day. Would love to have an AquaDuck meet or something.............

AquaDuck
Ice Cream
Movie
Family Game
Adult comedy nights in the bars
Walking off desserts around the walking deck
Mini golf

others?????

Well I got an email from DCL saying my balance owing is finally zero so I'm now officially paid off!

I actually paid in full some time ago online by checking the little bubble next to the line that said to pay the full balance but they left it showing as a balance owing of one cent. I called that day and they said they would take care of it but it looks like they actually finally did. That .01 was driving me crazy!

Just got off the phone with DCL, as I noticed a credit in my bank statement from them. Apparently government port taxes decreased and we got $7.71 back! Can't say I've seen that happen before.

Last day of kids for me Longest year in my teaching life this year. The lack of respect by kids and parents really beat me down this year. Oh well 42 days and I will be walking down Mainstreet USA with family and friends.

Other great news at least for me; fantasmic starting back up every night through July!!!! Number one I hope it calms the crowds down a bit yeah right. Actually this should stop the 2 hour wait in line crap.

I could leave tomorrow! Ok going to switch to cams and take a look at the dream in port. TTYL

Schools out for Summer!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Summer.

My DD still has 2 half days left of HS here. At least the weather is nicer so they won't be closing schools early, and she can finish her finals. My DS graduated from HS last week, and we are still trying to get a grade fixed. His teacher did not enter in all the work that my DS turned in a few weeks ago. The day after my DS turned in the work, the teacher fractured his head and has been out for the rest of the year. Lucikly he is going to be fine. Nice guy, great teacher. I just want it to be fixed, and to be over.

Great news about Fantasmic. They really needed to add more shows. It was crazy. And it was too crowded for such a small park with not a lot to do. We usually go there every other trip.

My wife is a teacher, and knows EXACTLY how you feel. She's also counting down the days.

Fantasmic is my favorite show. I have to see it overtime I go. Was getting tough with just the couple night shows. Exam day tomorrow for kids that missed exams. I threatened mine not to miss Monday or Tuesday so I have no make-ups. My DS14 is getting an award at 8th grade honors ceremony. High schooler next year. He will do great. He is going in with 2 credits already, algebra 1 and spanish. Other DS11 will be entering middle school.

I take it the letter grade is the issue with the grades that need to be put in. Is your son heading to college next year? Another big step.

Did I mention that I could leave tomorrow! We are only planning on going once this year but I know that once cruise is over I will be chomping at the bit to get down over the holidays. We had such a great time last year over new years. Froze our tails off as I packed one pair of jeans and said ah it will warm up it always does. I think I looked like rudolph after EE. Ok going to try to grade my finals and get grades done tonight so that I can clean up tomorrow after my son's awards ceremony. A lot of teachers at my school retiring as the BOE is messing with retirement benefits. I for sure will be working till I am 100. Hopefully in Disney but working.
