Terry - I PM'd you!


Well I have decided to add the REAS package this morning. I really didn't think it was worth it but I like the idea of the robes and I loved the breakfast in bed. Besides, as some of you know DH and I cannot resist towel animals I'm getting quite excited about our cruise now!

Anyone know how I order the wine package?

Thanks

Mary Rose

SeaSpray:

Thanks for the info on the Cove Cafe It sounds right up my alley, and did you mention cookies? Well, there goes the diet!! See you in 3 weeks and 6 days.

[Lainie1222]

Oh, Sister,

Talk about the Vaca from !@#$ !!! Do you remember that guy our mother hooked me up with to go to mini golf? Couldn't wait for Babci and Dziadzi to get there on Sunday to bring us back to earth. I am home from shopping. Got some good deals. Doreen bought a beautiful dress; I hope she keeps it. OK, doing laundry and have to take a nap, all that mall walking tired me out. It's getting closer

 

[PoohJen]

Diane - yes, I'll be at bingo at least for the big jackpot!!! How else will I pay my account off at the end of the week?!!

Lainie, was that Polish? I recall my cousins calling my grands something similar.

 

[Lainie1222]

Yes, that was Polish, and our grandparents were the BEST in the world. They are dearly missed as thought of every day. I am sure they are going to be watching over us because they are our special angels in Heaven.

The July "Double-Dippers" sailaway today, then our turn for "Double-Dipping" will be next!!!!!!!

I was talking with my mom on the phone last night, she is really getting excited about this cruise. I remember growing up, we only went on two family vacations and both were to Wildwood, NJ. I'm so glad we are able to bring my mom along with us when we can, and she really enjoys going with us. You never know how long you are going to have your loved ones with you, so you have to make the most of it, while you can.

Same here when I was growing up.....two weeks at Normandy Beach, NJ, in the summer. I still remember one summer when I had the chicken pox during the first week of vacation. Became the Sorry game champion.

Last year we took my Mom on the 4-day Wonder with us as a thank you. It was such a great experience being able to share the cruise with her. She was a bit overwhelmed by the end, though. I don't think she ever fully grasped that she could order anything she wanted on the dinner menus and not have to worry about the cost.

My kids were so happy to show off the ship to their grandma.

My brother is heading off to Wildwood today. We'll be down in the area in one week hitting the waves and building sandcastles.

 

[Ski-and-Sea]

Diane - yes, I'll be at bingo at least for the big jackpot!!! How else will I pay my account off at the end of the week?!!

We LOVE Bingo!!!! We've blown way too much money on Bingo on DCL cruises. To us, there is only one Bingo King - Andy from Australia. I'm sure anyone who's cruised on the Magic in 2002/2003 remembers him. He got a big promotion and become assistant cruise director on the Wonder.

Last August when we did the Land and Sea package we got to see him. He looks so handsome in his officers uniform I blanked out and forgot to take a photo.

Funny how so many CMs on both ships knows who he is. He's going to make a terrific cruise director one day.

So DCL if you are reading these (which we know you do ) please, please, please have Andy switch over to the Magic for the double dip cruises and let us share the "Bingo Love"!!!!

I know what you mean. We're doing WDW the week before the cruise and I feel totally unprepared! We're staying at Pop Music I think. I hope beachpal has all this figured out for me........

are you staying at All Stars Music or Pop Century??? No such thing as Pop Music!! (although it is a neat name!! ) Make sure you know exactly which hotel you going to. they are not exactly next to each other...

I be staying at Pop Century from 8/12 - 8/19..Perhaps i will see you there..

Hi Everyone

My name is Deby and I'll be joining you on the 19th along with my DH and DD-9 and DS-4.

We actually just booked the cruise about a month ago and this will be our first Disney cruise so we are very excited to say the least! We are native Floridians so we've been to WDW many many times and we love all things Disney.

My DD-9 would love to talk with another 9 year old girl that will be on the cruise with us ahead of time so she'll have a friend to see on the ship.

Does anyone out there have a DD-9 who would like to do this?

Please let me know, or let me know if there is another way to do this.

Thanks and we look forward to meeting/seeing you all on the cruise!

 

[bambi8893]

I think I got a message from someone, it didn't work for some reason so I wasn't able to read it.

 

[sandygirl]

Hey Doreen - I highly doubt Mary Rose and John(bob) were making towel animals... thats just what they told us (wink wink)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MARY ROSE AND JOHN.

You were right last year we did have the pleasure of dining with Darlene, Stan and Sandy for 14 wonderful nights. I will regretably allow someone else to dine with them for this cruise since I cant go but be warned... next cruise we are all together again - I WANT MY TABLEMATES BACK!!!!!

Darlene - I am so glad to hear that "Stan the Man's " first surgery went well. Now tell that man to go sit down and relax before he hurts himself - MEN??????

Andy - glad to hear that your feeling better.

Really looking forward to seeing everyone on the 18th.

I sure do miss you guys.
