RobinMarie & Aurora's Mom - thanks for the feedback. I think we may go with the 11am and keep our fingers crossed that the little one likes the club as much as he like his day school. At least we'll have some time to let him settle in, just in case - and it's not like we'll be that far away!

10 weeks out! I'm ready to bag in all here and head down there now, but I don't think they'd let me on the ship quite yet......

So, obviously I should back up and read all of the pages, but are there any on-board meets brewing at this point?

I own my own web site, so I've created a web page dedicated to OUR cruise :sunny: Click here to see the itinerary and what some of us have planned already, including onboard meets. :grouphug:

Please feel free to suggest whatever you want; a specific meet, a time for a meet already posted, etc... :)
 
Hey Terry - are non cruisers allowed at the Radisson DisMeet. I would love to drive over and see all my Hurrucane Cruise Buddies and SOF friends.
 
Colestat-
As far as buying suits for quickly growing boys, we have been on 6 cruises and my DS 11 has worn a suit on every one. I buy one on e-bay-he wears it-I sell it on e-bay-often for the same price or not much less than what I paid for it. Your boys just look so wonderful in that picture!
I do the same for my DD 14, most of dresses for formal and semi-formal were bought on e-bay.
Just thought I would mention it, but we LOVE to dress up, I know it is not everyone's cup of tea.

Oh absolutely!! I'd LOVE to see you there, Ginny!! :goodvibes

By the way, my best memory of you from our "Lost at Sea" cruise was when we were in line for the Banana Boat ride and you had just gotten off of it, and came over and gave us some advice!! :teeth:

I think Andy (Verandah Man) might be at the Radisson the night before too.
 

So,

how many of us will be at disney before the cruise this year,

Its a shame we didnt work out a deal for shirts or hats
Can you imagine this group showing up to board

now that would have been a site, and what a grand gathering that would have been :rotfl2:
 
Just had to post this one quickly,
I noticed my post count and had to get the number up by one before I went to bed
 
LOL Ed, it was this week, so it fits in to ahppen before the week ends, coincidence or....maybe not LOL

Why couldn't we still? I'd be game!
 
Hello everyone :wave: Back in action again and can't believe it's only 10 weeks to go (as usual thank you Terry so much for the countdown!). :cheer2: Tried to read through some of the pages I missed but couldn't concentrate... have spent most of the weekend trying to catch up on sleep.... The course was hard but really interesting, but I'm really glad to be home. :love: Also a bit too much of :drinking1 and :dancer: and singing lots of old irish songs :charac2: which the Dutch love but that was only one evening which is good for us! :shamrock:

Welcome to all the new people :welcome: I see some new names floating around over the last couple of pages but didn't take in all the names yet!

Joyce, agree with you... is it too late to organise a t-shirt? Even if we just had a common logo and we could get the t-shirts printed wherever we are? I'm game!

Jen, got an MP3 player so now I just have to read the instructions!

Have a nice sunny Sunday everyone...Moira. :sunny:

Aww Ginny, now I wish we were going to be there! We're doing a Grand Gatherings Fireworks cruise the night before.
 
I did go online yesterday and was able to get a room at the Radisson for Friday night 8/18 using my government employee discount that I was able to use in May!!! Working for the government, at times, does have it's advantages!!! So, hopefully I will get to see some of you around the Radisson pool on Friday evening. Just a thought here. Last month, on the night before our cruise, some of us DIS'ers met at Grills for dinner, would anyone here be interested in meeting for dinner on Friday evening? After 4pm, Grills does "not" take reservations, we had about 16-18 people show up around 5:30 and only had to wait about 15 minutes to get seated indoors.

After dinner around 7:30-7:45, we then headed back to the Radisson, for a meet at the pool, which I didn't make because that's when I started feeling quite ill with the sore throat. Others, I talked to on the ship, said they had a nice time at the pool meet as well.

Anyhow, just some food for thought.
 
G'morning all!

In addition to t-shirts/hats, my friend's Nov cruise meets gang is looking into those colored wristbands. You can get them in any color with your message imprinted. If we are interested as a group, I'd be happy to look into the details.

Very cool re: mp3, Moira! You'll love it! Especially on air trips!:music:

Headed out this a.m. for a 2 hour drive to DS's baseball game(s)...and it looks like rain! :eek: :sad: :scared1: Fingers crossed (I'll save the pixie dust for more miportant things, like the state championships in 2 wks!) for clear skies - I have really grown to love our Sunday afternoons at the ball fields, in the sun, that is! :sunny:

Time for daily countdown yet???? sooooon??? [T minus 68...] :cheer2:
 
HI Everyone!!! :wave: Hi Moira!!! :wave2:

Sorry i have not post here in a while. WOW!! 10 more weeks!! Can't wait!! I be going to WDW in 9 days for 2 weeks. and then be back to Disney in Aug just before the cruise!

ANDY!!! Am i finally going to MEET YOU and HAZEL??? i hope to see you that morning of the cruise! Hope health is treating you good!! Are you going to Disney at all??

Did everyone here got what they wanted at Palo's?? I ended up having dinner at the last night, which i am not sure if that what i wanted. SInce it is a "last supper" (lol) i may want to be in dining room so i see if i can get another night when i get on board, but i couldn't get brunch however!! PHOOEY!!

Yes, it still not too early to order t shirts. In fact, we getting one for my next week vacation thru my dh vendor, getting a polo shirt and t shirt for my family since there is 10 of us going.
If you wish, i can find out prices and organize it for this group. The t shirt i am getting has disney logo on front and names on back. pretty cool!! I be happy to help!! i see if i can download the t shirt work from the adobe reader..not sure how to transfer to here!! LOL!!

Have a great day everyone!! :sunny:
 
Hi Melinda,

I will be coming down by myself for this trip. Angelina didn't want to come down, so Hazel will be staying at home here with her. I will be staying at my mom's place (except for Friday night) since we have some business matters to take care of while I'm down there, not going to Disney on this short trip.

We will be in the area before the cruise Ed. We plan on arriving Tuesday before and are touring Universal/IOA and maybe a Disney water park or MK.

We are staying at the All Stars Music for three days post cruise as well.
 
Good morning everyone! I actually see the sun out there, something that we haven't seen here in New England in quite a while :sunny:

I'd be interested in group t-shirts, I think it'd be fun. :teeth: I'm also trying to think of something to bring to the DIS meet on that first day to give out... last time I gave out lime green glow necklaces, and Mjasp gave out green leis. I'll be going to the Party Store to get decorations for DS18's graduation party within the next couple of weeks, so I plan on looking to see what I can get that's lime green or close to it, to give out :)

Regarding matching t-shirts; I don't think they'd need to have a complicated design, just something that identifies us as a group would be nice. I think I remember seeing one of those web site (Maybe Andy had posted a link here before....??) where one person can design a t-shirt, then everyone can order the t-shirt off that web site themselves, this way there'd be no worry of ordering too many, or the wrong sizes, or having to deal with payment issues since each person would order directly for themselves and their family. This is just my humble opinion...I'm open to anything, really.. :)


Oh, and the night before the cruise, we're not landing at MCO until around 5pm, so we'd have to miss out on Grills. We will be having dinner somewhere, probably at Zachary's, next to the hotel. We'll see everyone at the Radisson later on though :)
 
I don't know if anyone would still be interested, but this design is still up on cafepress from sometime ago when we were first talking about t-shirts and the such, here is the link: http://www.cafepress.com/castaways2006

Diane asked me about it and I sent the link to her, I had forgot all about it myself until yesterday.
 
Good Morning Everybody!!

GINNY!!!!!!!! How are you!!! Please come to the Radisson Friday night, I'd love to see your and your family!

Andy - I remember you posted a T-shirt site and when I couldn't find the link I ordered shirts from Zazzle. But I love your design and thanks for posting it.

If everyone wants to get a group shirt lets go for it!! I like the tote bag too!

Today is my daughter's dance recital - After 14 recitals I still love them!

10 week to go!!! WooHoo!

I really looking forward to meeting everyone both onboard and at the Radisson the night before.

BTW - down 16 lbs now! only 84 to go LOL

Hello Everyone!

Can anyone give me information regarding passports? I have been getting mixed information. I know the regulations have changed. Someone said that you don't need one if you are traveling before December, 2006. Can anyone give me information regarding this? :)
