Hey! Any port in a storm as they say. If nothing else, I would like to see the cabin. It's the closest I'll get to a Cat 3.

Neal

ps. We were talking about having some of our kids contact each other before the cruise to get to know each other a little. Is anybody still up for that?

Yes, perhaps we should go over ages again, 10, 10, 3 i don't think the 3 year old will be very cooperative lol- also where do i get my passport stamped, i am very excited about this

sorry i don't mean to sound boogie, i did have a cat 2 but thought that was a bit much for 3 people, so i let it go, i am sure there was some large family out there that was very happy, but yes, tours of my suite are available, upon request and only 5 bucks.

Okay...I got what I wanted for Palo (8PM Castaway Cay day), a brunch and a couple of spa appointments. It even let me book Palo for 5-6 ppl, so that takes care of the 6 adults we have going to dinner.

We do need to do something to have the kids talk. My daughter has exchanged a couple of emails with one girl.

MINNIE - my daughter is almost 10 and is also a gymnast. We can definately have them talk via email. I will send you a PM with her monitored email address.

whooo hooo getting closer!

Is that WITH or WITHOUT the Palo dinner?

How old are your children? I am up for it. My dd is 10 and very outgoing and LOVES to talk!!!! She is a gymnast. She is also on her brothers pit crew. My ds is 9, also outgoing, loves to talk about anything with a motor. He races go karts and wants to be a nascar driver one day. Of course, I think hes going to do it. I am his mother. My children are very friendly and giving people. They love to help out on charity projects. They are very well rounded. I have a feeling that we are going to have a wonderful group of children representing our dis group.

Daughter 10 (11 a week after the cruise)
Son 6 (7 a week after the cruise)

Suggestions were made to use like AOL Instant Messenger to talk, or I'd have no problem with a phone call.

Keep in mind that some of these may have only been on here once. I certainly dont want to leave them out, I just need to take the time and check on them. I have checked on some in bulk and thought of maybe personalizing them but havent got that far yet. I am playing catch up from last week. I am very excited about this. By the way, our count is 4. I actually left myself out on the first count. If anybody has any ideas....speak now. Were the rubber ones the ones everybody was ok with?

My name is Shari. My mother took the notion to name me after some soap opera person in the late 60s and that is where she got the spelling!!! NOBODY spells my name right including my grandmothers...god bless their souls.

 

[HappyLawyer]

i'm cool with what ever the decision is, i have a total of 6 in my party

 

[MINNIE OF TWO MICE]

I have just pm'd angelgurl, jdyer, anolaw, and firsttimecruiser. I will let yall know if they respond. I am going back on my search for bracelets.

 

[ktpool]

I checked the postings of some of those other people and they have either stopped posting completely or cancelled thier cruises.

I have MINNIE (of two mice) and neckhardt (Neal) already on the list.

Thanks!

 

[MINNIE OF TWO MICE]

I have found some but have to wait till the morning to price out. They are lime green glow in the dark and we can put our own message. They are on Goods For Giving website. It iritates me when they dont put any prices. Yall have a good night!!! Thanks ktpool for keeping up with everyone!

 

[CinderellaIam]

Minnie and ktpool bless you both for doing all of this! If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.

In case I haven't mentioned it before we are a party of 6. Myself, my sister and her husband, my DD (20), and my two neices (11 & 16). The trip is a complete surprise to my sisters girls, otherwise I think the 11 year old would love to be contacting other kids her age prior to the trip, she's a very friendly girl. Hopefully she'll catch up with the others when we have a meet. By the way, did we decide on a time/place for one? I've been trying to keep up with all the posts but I could have missed something.

Thanks again you guys!

There is no way I could keep a secret that long. I get way too excited in the planning process. They are going to be beside themselves. When we went on our cruise in June, our ship was right beside the Wonder. I was so jealous of those people. It is HUGE. Our ship looked like a small yacht in comparison!!!! I will make sure that Christie makes your neice feel welcome. I dont think we are going to have a shortage of girls. Boys are another thing. I hope all of yalls girls are not blonde hair, blue eyed. That is Howards preference. He would never flirt though, he is too young. He would however pal around with the girls.


I hope I dont upset anyone but I ordered the bracelets my treat. They will have a Christmas tree...then say "DISNEY CRUISE 2006"...then another Christmas tree. I was limited to 20 characters. They are glow in the dark (I thought the kids would enjoy this) and a little lighter than lime green. That being said...Yall can start to pm me your addresses with the number of bracelets you will need. I will probably send everyone an extra one in case one is lost. I ordered one hundred. Also, I will get them somewhere between September 20th and 22nd. I will let yall know before I ship them out.

I have not heard from our one timers that I pm'd yet.

I can not wait to get on that airplane!!!

 

[BabyBird]

Wow! Thank you Minnie!!!
We are Joe & Nanc - the Baby Bird thing is a looooooong story.

I am getting so excited about our trip! I booked the Rasul this morning for Nassau afternoon. I hope DH will think it is a good thing.

 

[CinderellaIam]

Thank you so much Shari!!

Well, the surprise is more for the 16 year old, she turns Sweet 16 on December 8th...and did not want a party. My sister is a little loud and obnoxious, she made a fool of herself at my DD Sweet 16, and her DD refuses to be embarassed by her in front of her friends. So, out of extreme remorse my sister has decided to surprise her with a weekend trip to WDW, her favorite place in the world. Come Sunday she will think we are heading home and will be hit with the surprise of the cruise.

The planning of this surprise is giving me great joy and at least I can share that with my DD. As excited as I am about this trip (my 10th to WDW and 4th DCL) I am more excited to see my neice's reaction!
