DH wants to try something new this cruise,so we are doing snuba at least he is.He is trying to convince me.I love to sightsee myself,and I am looking forward to being back in St Thomas as the last time I was there was in 84.

Hi everyone,
It looks like we are going to postpone our cruise till 2005. I've decided to teach full time this year and won't be able to take that time off in December. We are going to take a Disneyland/DCA/Knott's Berry Farm trip in October to tide us over. Good luck with your planning everyone. It was great conversing with you all. Have a GREAT cruise!

 

[Disneyfan37]

DH and I are sorry to hear that as we were hoping to meet you as well as the others.We surely do understand.We will miss conversing with you.

We are going to Disneyland next year as that will be our vacation for that year which means we won't be cruising in 2005.Have you all been to Disneyland before?How did you like it?We went to the Disneyland Paris a couple of years back,and we thought it was better then WDW here in FL.Have fun when you go!

We'll miss you Bonnie. Have a GREAT school year!!! I hope we get on the same cruise another time!

 

[SQUIGGLE]

Bonnie - sorry to hear you won't be with us. Maybe we'll meet on some other cruise.

OK guys - another month gone!

Anyone have any ideas for a meet? At the Sailaway Party, maybe?

A meet at the sailaway party sounds good.Although,DH and I will probably be meeting Fran at the terminal line.We are having a race to see who gets there first<G>.DH and I will both have our Diz pins on,so we should be easy to spot<G>.

Yes,another month gone!Come on December!

Hey I thought the race was with me, Jennifer!

 

[Disneyfan37]

Girl!The race is with you!I am confused<G>I believe though that one someone else on this threat is going to beat us both there<G>.

DH and I were saying at dinner that we could possibly meet at port side during the sailaway party.We usually go to deck ten as it isn't as crowded,but you all just decide and let us know.I know you and I will have caught up by then as I plan on meeting you at the parking lot<G>.

Hope you are having a great weekend!

 

[SQUIGGLE]

Thank goodness! I didn't think I was in a race with anyone....
However, we plan on being at the terminal around 10:30.
DD & I will both have our DIS Board shirts on; along with our pins.

Port side is OK; but if we make it the starboard side we can wave at the CMs on the dock. Will go along with everyone else.

I checked the Farmer's Almanac and think sunset is around 5:30 that day. We have always had full sun when we sailed before. Should be interesting change. Has anyone else sailed in December? I'm curious about what they do holiday-wise on the ship.

Fran,Starboard side is perfect as that way we can wave to the CMS.This will be our first time sailing in December as well as first time sailing on the Magic.I am sure Disney will have the boat looking great for Christmas!I can't wait!

Anybody know why Disney Wonder left port an hour later today?I hope everything is okay there.

Jennifer and I are just joking.I confused you with her!Sorry!It sounds like we will all be arriving there about the same time.

August is here!Finally!Another month down!

This will be SO fun! This is our third cruise but our FIRST since joining a cruise meet thread. I can't beleive that we'll actually "know" people other than our family. THis will make the wait at port seem VERY short -- we'll be looking for the DIS buttons. I was curious, though. My DH is mostly a lurker and has never posted. Will you guys get a DIS button for your DH's??

P.S. Maria and "momto2dkids" did you get the CD's? I realized after I mailed them in a hurry that I never actually checked the CDs to see if they recorded! YIKES! Do they work? AND I forgot to write a title on them. If you want a list of the songs, let me know.

 

[Disneyfan37]

I know I can't wait either!DH and I will both have Dis Buttons on.Yes,the waiting at port will go by so fast.We can't wait!

I haven't gotten the cd yet.I don't care what order it is in.I will be so happy just to listen to it!Thank you so much!I will let you know when I receive it.Thank you!Thank you!

jwann, this is Maria's DH. She asked me to let you know that she got the CD today. She is busy with the kids she watches so she couldn't get on. It's less than 19 weeks!!!! Hurry up will you!!! I can't wait for December 11!!!!

 

[Villaness]

Jennifer, where do I get a DIS button to wear as we go to the cruise. Our goal is to get on one of the EARLY buses from the airport to the dock. We are SO anxious to get to December and our cruise. This will be our first Disney cruise, and our grandkids are coming on their first cruise. They are as excited as their parents and grandparents!!! One more month gone!

 

[jwann]

I don't have my DIS button yet. If you go on www.wdwinfo.com and click on DISboard. Look on the left menu for DIS store. Then you click on DIS stuff, I think, and then click on personalized buttons.

Anyone who has ordered before -- how long does it take to get to you?

 

[Villaness]

Thanks for the informatin Jennifer. I just went to the store and ordered a lanyard to keep my room key on and a green luggage tag. Now I can be official in my lime green. Hope to meet everyone on board!! Kathy

 

[Disneyfan37]

JWann-Thank you so much!We got it this afternoon.It is great.The dckids and I loved it.We danced all afternoon with it.I already told DH he best make another copy of it.Thanks!

The cd makes me want to go now even more.It brought back many memories.

Jennifer,DH just said it took about three weeks for us to get the dispins in the mail.We have our screen names on ours.

Maria

 

[SQUIGGLE]

Jennifer - seems it took a little over a week for our DIS shirts and buttons to get here. We have our screen name on our Pins too. Wasn't brave enough to get a pooh-sized lime green shirt; but the gray ones look great.

Does anyone know if there are going to be any special holiday type kids activities for the young ones in the kids clubs? I thought I would ask here first.

We are so excited to see all the holiday decorations on the ship. We always decorate our house and yard Decemember 1st because we just can't wait any longer to start to celebrate, so going on the cruise is going to add that much more to the celebration this year!!
