August 20, 2005 - L.A. to Port Canaveral - Eastbound Repo Cruise - The SHIP OF FOOLS

[Scratch42]

DD and I are both in!

I'll even make sure it's in US Funds!LOL

Put us down for $40.00!

DD has a job walking a dog this summer, so I'm sure she won't mind helping her friend Ryleigh and her soon to be new friend!

How about this?? We could do a silent auction for a bottle of zinfandel and use the proceeds to help Ryleigh's family come with us. I'd be happy to buy the winner a bottle when we get on the ship!

To everyone....
Thank you so very much for kind and generous gestures towards Ryleigh and our family. You all had me in tears.

If we ever go on a cruise... we'd have to do DCL as it is the only cruiseline that allows Ryliegh into the clubs without an adult. Therefore we get time away from her! She may not like the the full headed costumed characters but she loves Alice and Snow White etc.... any one who looks human. Plus she ikes to see the characters ...she just doesn't like to get too close.

We have looked into other cruises and the fact is this is the only one we could ever afford at $5000US.... it's a bargain. Others want to charge us up to $3000 /person!!!

Veranah man..... I will try writing to the individual whose address you PM'd me. Much appreciated.

Thanks again everyone... I have never been offered such wonderful gestures of kindeness before. First the tubs and now $ to help us go. As meaningful as they are, we will probably cancel before we take your well earned cash. Hey that's like 4 drinks on the boat!!!! But again thank you for the heartfelt offers... will keep you posted.

Please send us losts of pixie dust and Happy thoughts. or wish on stars for us!!!

HUGE HUGS!!!

Suzanne, Michael, Ryleigh and "Baby"

Hey that's like 4 drinks on the boat!!!!

Suzanne,

I'll gladly give up 4 drinks (my liver would thank me!) if we can find a way to get your family on the ship with us!!

Don't give up yet............ you have until 60 days prior to cancel........ and that's still almost a year away. Remember....... this is the DIS and some pretty magical things have been known to happen around here.

Suzanne, Michael, Ryleigh and "Baby",

If DCL is what's going to be the best for Ryleigh - then so be it!!! Don't give up just yet! As outahere said - you still have till 60 days prior to the cruise to cancel. Things always have a way of working out....

Hang in there!

Suzanne,

Not that it helps your situation, but for what it is worth, DCL acts in a consistent manner. We originally booked a Cat 6 for the cruise when we thought only one baby was on the way. When we discovered it was twins and that we would now be a family of five, we had to move up to a Cat 4. Luckily we found out in time to switch cabins. I really did not argue the point because I figure we will need all the room we can get for daipers, etc.

Best of luck to come to a resolution. I would also be more than willing to throw in some money if you decide to take up that offer.

Hey count us in for $20. Please don't consider it as taking our money. Think of it as what Walt would have wanted

Dear Suzanne & Family,

Please reconsider the offers from our board. The joy of children is what the spirit of Disney is all about. Everyone "wants" to have you and your family on board. My dd would love to play with your dd.

Please think about it again!

Count us in!

I'll gladly give up four drinks. That's just a fraction of our normal bar tab! LOL

Hey Barbara, (Mom2Belleandpeterpan)
You are baaaack!! How was your cruise?? also, did you end up going to Typhoon Lagoon on Father's day??

 

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

Hi Melinda!

We got back Monday night! It was amazing, wonderful, magical! So glad we have this cruise to look forward to now or we'd be very very sad!

No we did not go to Typhoon Lagoon, we needed to get up very early on Father's Day to get a good spot and we decided to SLEEP! Instead, we spent the day at the Swan pool - the grotto and ate lunch at the pool. Then, we we went to dinner for Father's Day at the Grand Floridian 1900 Park Fare and rode the monorail. We needed to rest from the cruise, lol! On Saturday evening we went to the Whispering Canyon Cafe, it was a riot. "We need ketchup!" Then, we took a carriage ride at Fort Wilderness. So pretty! Enjoyed the lagoon boat rides too. Oh yes, we also went for ice cream sundaes at Beaches, yummy. Just could not stop eating after all that cruise food.

How are you? Where are you on planning for this cruise?! I know next time I/we'll spend much more time on deck 4 reading!

Take care, good to "chat" with you! Can't wait to meet you next August!

Barbara

 

[Luv2Dream]

Count me in for $20 as well. My feelings exactly......this is what Walt would do. This is what the "DIS" does.

 

[mickeyfan1]

In case I forgot, count me in for $20 also. I think that it is very important for Ry to get on the ship, and for her family to have a great vacation. Hopefully DCL will be able to work it out roomwise.

Looks like it is gonna ba a semi nice weekend. Think I will get my car washed today and then put it in the garage, maybe that will keep the rain away tomorrow.

 

[twhipple]

Count us in for $20 too. Heck this money was going towards drinks for Peter and Mary Jo on the Octoberfest cruise, so they won't mind if I give it to you for Ry's trip, right guys?!?

 

[kpgclark]

Now I can't remember if I posted that I'd help Ryleigh. If I haven't already done so I'd be happy to help if needed.
