August 7, 2004 Magic...who's going?
- Thread starter gometros
- Start date
I'd be happy to try to make arrangements for Grills on Friday night if I have some idea of a head count... or if someone else hasn't already done so.
Jeanne,
You have me down for High Tea on Sunday, and all of us for Lunch on Thursday? (maybe the kids will do Oceaneers...but better put them down just in case)
Denise,
You have both of us for Brunch right or is that the Ladies only one?
Deck 10 for sailaway right so we're looking over the pool area, or are we going all the way aft?
Pardon my stupidity, but I'm trying to get all this settled so if we get a call between now and then to take Corey down to PA, I'll have everything settled. School district sent improper paperwork (IEP was expired) and we're now pushing them to get them the right one. Time's getting close and the drive to PA will probably end up being a 2 day excursion with admission and all so we'll really be cutting things close. We intend to leave here 8/1 to drive to WDW for 3 days first then to the port for the one night then cruise. If it doesn't work out, his admission will have to wait until after we get back.
I see my husband posted under my name before.....gotta watch him!

Lucky that he didn't say anything that would get you into trouble
Disneycruiselvr - do not let the fact that some of the cruisers know each other from a previous cruise. I had the pleasure of travelling with them last year and a friendlier bunch you cannot find. Heck, we even shared a jacuzzi together

Thanks gometros, I could tell this was a close bunch! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.
We'll probably be going to Grills on Friday night, but I can't commit to a time because I don't know what we'll be doing that day.
We'll definitely be at the DIS meet on deck 10 Aft during the sail away party. I guess if I see bubbles and a young lady eating a Cadbury bar ... I'll know it's you guys!!

Are we doing the Green Mickey Heads again? It would probably help the new people find us. For the new people, Home depot has Disney paint chips and they come in the shape of Mickeys head, pick up the lime green ones. We put our names, screen names and cabin number on them last year and wore them to the sailaway party.

I still have mine from last year and it's already tied to my day bag. I don't expect anyone else in my party to wear them!
Our ranks have just increased........my oldest son, Adam, will also be joining us. It turns out one of his projects got sidetracked and he'll be free the week that we're sailing. Our cruise is fully booked but the CM said if I called several times a day something would come through because they don't take from the wait list until they close for the day. So if someone cancels it remains open inventory until the end of the day and you just have to hit it at the right time. I called today and sure enough they had an opening. It's costing a small fortune, but it's one of those "priceless" experiences. We're going to fly him into MCO the day before (red eye) so we can take him to the outlets and make sure he has something decent to wear! Now 2 of my kids will be cruising for the first time and the other 2 for the third. At least Jason is a little happier now that he has a buddy!
Anybody know if they'll show "The Village" on the ship? I think it opens the week before we sail, but it might be too scary for a Disney cruise. Shamalyan's movies are usually PG-13 though, so maybe we will get it.

So, who's going to save me a bar so I can put that to the test?
We decided as compensation for missing the cruise this year, we're going to make a long weekend out of taking Sara to school this year. I've never seen the Inner Harbor and I want to get down to DC one day to see the new WWII memorial and visit the Museum of Jewish Military History.

Jeanne,
Congrats on getting your son on board! Persistance pays off!!
Sandy,
We drove past the WWII memorial a couple of weeks ago, since it was raining and getting dark, we didn't get out and walk around and we had Jay's 83 yr old mother with us. She wanted to see it too, since Jay's dad served in WWII and they contributed to the Memorial. We were very impressed by it. Someday we'll stop and walk around DC too....maybe next year! My youngest niece is getting married in NC in August so we're planning our vacation around her wedding. May not be doing a Disney vacation next year....unless the offers on the ship are really good again!!

Shelley: You'll have to come visit us when you come to NC next year! BTW, I have some info on that china replacement place....I just have to find it. When i do, I'll bring a copy of it with me on the cruise. I've never been there but I have used their mail-order service. The one I'm thinking of is about halfway between Raleigh and Greensboro because we were driving to my daughter's apt (she just moved to Greensboro) and I noticed the billboard marking the exit for it. I recall making the comment that we had gotten our replacement pieces from there and someday we should stop and take a look. I think the actual name of the place is Replacements.

Been a busy week
Shelly, Brunch is open to anyone over 18 . I have both of you down as going and would love to see some of our new friends, heck, we had never laid eyes on each other till last year. Keep pushing for the IEP. I know how frustrating that can be.
Sandy, I'll be sure Chelsea doesn't eat all the chocolate. Once we get back, let me know your plans, we can meet at the inner harbor, so I can deliver it. By then we should have pics to share.
Can't believe I'm down to the details. The girls will be getting their hair done pre-cruise. All it is costing me is snacks. Dog sitter is arranged. I still need to call the credit card company, after last year I'm not taking chances.
As for Grills, Chelsea and DH will be at EPCOT all day on friday, (imagion that) so it depends on what time they get back as to what time we'll be there. For DisneyCruiselvr, if we are there you won't be able to miss us. We'll be the ones with two young ladies with cornrows.

It's finally hit me, in 15 days we will be on the Magic! So who better to share my excitement with then my fellow cruise mates!!
Since my DH & DS were offered incredible seats for the Florida Marlins Baseball game on August 6th we've decided to drive to the ship Saturday morning, about a 3 hour drive. Please say prayers that we have no problems!! Thank god I booked REAS and won't be freaking about reservations.
My body is aching to lay on a deck 4 chair and feel the breeze as the ship cuts through the ocean. I can't wait to stick my fork into the chocolate souffle at Palos. The thought of chocolate chip cookies 24/7 makes me smile. Haha, nobody can bug me on my cell phone (too bad work)! Lastly, I'm looking forward to receiving some BINGO LOVE!!
Hopefully we will get the opportunity to meet everyone at the sail away party. In the past my kids liked to be on the dance floor so don't know if we will get up to deck 10.
bye bye for nowHi everyone,
Well we're 3/4's packed.....just Jay's stuff left to do, he's got to go through things and decide what to take.
We'll have plenty of room now too....we just bought a new Freestar Van (picking it up today). You know how they say after an accident the car's not the same even though it's been fixed like new? Well they're right! Started having idling problems the car kept stalling out and then the CD player died and who knows what's next.....since we're driving down, we didn't want to have to worry about breaking down somewhere especially in the middle of the night along those long lonely dark roads in the Carolina's & GA.
We're assuming Corey going to Kid's Peace won't take place until after the trip, since we're still waiting for the acceptance letter and corrected IEP and then they have to go through NY State Compact to approve the transfer etc.
Can't wait to jump in the van on 8/1 and head south. We'll be stopping in 2 spots (1st night will be slightly south of Washington DC probably...next night who knows where depends on how much driving we want to do) to spend the night since our ressie at WDW isn't until 8/3.

Woo Hoo
First, I must apologize for introducing myself, asking a few questions and then seemingly bugging out on this thread. I have been so busy at work I can barely see straight. But I have been keeping up with all your posts. lurk, lurk, lurk
The documents are all filled out and the last arrangements have been made (kennel for the pooch, mail held at P.O., etc). Best of all, I found a fantastic cocktail dress (sexy black beaded sheath) at a boutique for only $53!!! I still need shoes, but that won't be too tough. I have a hair appointment next weekend for a cut and highlights. I have not even begun to pack because I'm leaving on Sunday for a business trip to Germany. Can you believe it? I'll be gone for 5 days. Then the frenzy begins...
EyeRN - Do you recommend calling the credit card company before we leave? What was your horrible experience?
MBFergie - Did your son like the clubs? Mine is such a social animal. I think he will like them, but who knows.
Does anyone know if the schedule has changed because of the different itinerary? Is formal night still on Sunday, semi-formal on Thursday, etc.? I'd really like to know this as it will help me in planning when to make reservations for Palo. We decided not to do the REAS since neither DH or myself were interested in the massages (crazy, I know). The only excursion we booked is the 5-star St. John Snorkel.
So, you get the green Mickeys from the paint sample cards at Home Depot? I won't be shunned if I show up with one at the sail-away party will I? You'll all be saying "Yes, that's her. The Lurker".
I am getting so excited. I can't wait to be sailing!

FLGalInTN - My son LOVED the clubs. On our last sea day last year we went to the clubs about 4 times to see if he wanted to come with us to the pool, lunch, bingo, ect.. and he kept saying go away!! When we made hime go to the show and dinner he was not a happy camper at first. This will be his first year in the lab and he's excited!! How old is your son?
When I spoke to Debbie she said as of then (3-4 days ago) their were no changes in the schedules. She didn't know if they were doing anything special for the first time the Magic would be in San Juan, PR. She wasn't sure if there would be a tropical night..and if there is what night it would be.

MBFergie - My son is 8 going on 16! Well actually he'll be 9 in September and starting 3rd grade this fall. Maybe we could introduce our guys at the sail away party and your son could fill him in on the clubs?
Chelsea - I noticed from your messages that you are a fan of Cadbury chocoloate. So am I (total chocoholic here). Next week I will be in Germany on business and I plan to bring back some of that country's best chocolate. It's pretty darn good. If you have any of that Cadbury's left we'll have to do a comparison tase test.
I look forward to meeting everyone. I'll be the one with the stupid smile on my face and the drink of the day in my hand!
