Diez (10) Noches Calientes en la Riviera Mexicana/17 de abril 2011 (4.17.11 Wonder!)

[LV Disney Fan(atic)]

Welcome back, Kristi - sounds like you need a vacation to recover from your vacation! We're always exhausted when we get back from DL too; I'm a "get there before it opens and be the last one out at night" kind of person (although I do let my family go rest in the room for awhile in the afternoons while I go shopping ); hate to miss a single minute in the parks! A cruise is definitely more relaxing.

Here's another cruise design. To give credit where it's due, the background and the character clip art is from Milliepie's shared folder (it is soooooo nice of her to make these available to everyone!). I did it once with the logo in Spanish and once in English. I think I like these best so far because of the Mexican theme. As always, suggestions are welcome!

Hi, Brooklyn, and

We're don't live in San Diego but have spent quite a few vacations at Pacific Beach. Lucky you to live there - it's one of our very favorite cities!

 

[lucky1]

This is too funny! I live right near where you used to live. I live off of Joe Rodgers Road, across from the green farmhouse; which is now a art school. The library is new. My mom and grandparents lived in Lake View Hills since the 50's, so I remember as a child driving down the long road of Douglas;which was a two lane road with cows and sheep. Johnson Ranch is a neighborhood community with an upscale (can't afford it) tennis/ health gym. I remember Jumbo supermarket was the only thing on Auburn Folsom! I teach at Granite Bay High School, and tell all the kids that Granite Bay used to a rural area. I went to Oakmont High School. Weirdly enough, Granite Bay is now very upper class, there are mansions everywhere. We just lucked out and made a lot of money off our previous homes to afford in the area, but we also bought super high, so we are stuck in our home for awhile. Which bumms me to no end because it takes us so much longer now to afford a Disney cruise!! Argh!! Our last one was Christmas 2006!! And I've been itching to go on one again ever since!!! I've talked three families in the past to go on them, so that was kind of a happy thing for me, but jealous at the same time!! (-: I like where we live, we have half an acre and ducks and geese fly over our house and in our pool all the time. I've been told by people that our house used to have lots of land until it was broken into smaller 1/2 acre lots. I was told my house was a farmhouse, but they added onto it. When did you move from Granite Bay?

This is way too funny. I sent you a PM.

Dany...These are awesome!! Never saw anything like this. You've got it!!

Kristi...glad to hear your trip was good and before it got hot. Hope you can relax a little now.

ALOHA Brooklyn and welcome!!

 

[szubieta]

Wow...it's only 10 months now!

 

[feenie]

Yay!!! 10 months does not feel so bad!!!

 

[True Romance]

WooHoo 10 months away!! The months just keep ticking away. The 6 month count down will be awesome.

Dany--love, love, love the last logos you made. Can we have one as our cruise logo? Would love to add it to my sig line.

Welcome everyone. Seems like we are getting more cruisers with us every day. Did we lose anyone to the KSF promo?

Aww, you guys are so nice... Like I said, I just kind of expanded off of Milliepie's graphics, but I'm glad you like them. Sure, we can use one of them as a logo - maybe the Spanish one since that's the title of our thread? And if someone comes along with a better idea it won't hurt my feelings if we switch! I'm going to go resize them now so I can put it in my signature too. 10 months!

Can you tell me how you resized it for your signature. I am struggling to get it sized correctly so that I can put it in my signature. Great graphics!!!

 

[LV Disney Fan(atic)]

Thank you! I've got the original in Photobucket so it was really easy to resize via their edit menu. But if you right click on the big original graphic you can save the file to your computer and then use any photo or graphics editor to resize it down to what you want. If the size in my signature works for you then just right click on that one to copy it and post it in your signature block. If you want it bigger than the small one and have trouble resizing it I can make it a few different sizes to post here.

 

[True Romance]

Cool, added the logo to my sig, love it. I am in awe of all of the creative artists on here. I think this logo will be a great door magnet as well. I am going to create a folder and start planning my magnets.

 

[szubieta]

I have a very large folder for magnets that I will have to scale down or the boat might liste to one side. I have a list of ones needing names and I will be making DSister's too. I WONDER what the x-ray machine people will think when I roll in with a suitcase full of magnets and FE gifts...It's Disney...they are probably used to it.

I can't wait to figure out how to add our cruise logo. Can't wait to meet everyone.

I did a intro a few pages back so you guys know who we are. If any one feels comfortable go ahead and tell us about you and yours. I do suggest no stateroom #'s yet.

Kristi...I changed my mind...please put us down for the FE Gift Exchange? I have already bought 15 childrens gifts.

As I typing this I realize that people on the East coast and on the DCL are watching Toy Story 3 ...can't wait to see it. I get to go next week. Our 19yo ex-foster son works at a theater and is getting us in free. He was going to take us to Shrek and I said that would be nice, but mommy rather see Toy Story 3.

Hello, my name is Dany L. and I am a DIS boards-aholic.

Oh, that's not the kind of intro you were looking for? I really do feel like an addict sometimes. It's like: "OMG, I haven't checked the DIS for hours; must log on!"

Anyway, I'm Dany and DH is Joe. Our only (human) child is DD Sami, who is almost 15 (we really need some teenagers to join this group!). I say human child because we also have a black Lab who thinks she's our child. We live in Henderson, NV which is a suburb of Las Vegas; this will be our 3rd Disney cruise (but 1st on the Wonder) and our 5th MR cruise. Glad to be cruising with all of you!

 

[LV Disney Fan(atic)]

I can't wait to see Toy Story 3 either! DD and I are going next Friday.

That's how I knew it was you on the "otherside". I saw your lab and I said to myself...I know that dog from somewhere.

Okay, here is my intro. My name is Kristi, my husband is Kevin, and our three kids; Isabelle turns 8 on the cruise, Danny is 5, and Brennan will be 2 weeks away from turning 3. My kids are all very outgoing and love any sort of kids club or camp. They fully intend to be at the clubs most of the time. Even little Brennan likes to keep up with the older brother and sister. I was on the Magic Western last Oct. 2009 with my Mom, Isabelle and Danny. My Mom is a travel agent and got a fantastic last minute deal. So with 2 weeks notice we bought air from CA and headed on the cruise. My husband and I have been on several cruises together pre-kids (non-DCL) This will be his first DCL cruise. He needs a lot of convincing that it will be fun and relaxing, even with 3 small kids. We scored and got 2 connecting SPH rooms. We are currently in Main dining, but I will most likely switch to 2nd. I prefer it and I love the dine & play option. I was on a MR cruise as a teenager, and also traveled all over Mexico with my high school back in 1990. Hmmm, what else. Like most of you I am a Disney fanatic. Have grown up going to DL, but have never been to DW. Was lucky enough to work at DL in their College Program the summer of 1997. Dream come true.

I will start the FE list. If you are interested, send me a PM with your names, and kids names and ages. No stateroom #'s yet. I can get those closer to the sailing. How fun!! Now I need to get FE ideas.

Kristi - I sent you a PM.. I am in on the FE.


Hi... I am Laura and traveling with me on this cruise will be DH (Bruce) and DD who is now 8 but will be 9 at the time of the cruise. We cruised last October and were on the same cruise as Kristi , but not sure if we ran into her family knowing they were a DIS family. We had such a great time and rebooked on board for a Nov 2011 MR cruise. But then decided that we would book a 10 day holiday Caribbean cruise over NYE and DD's and my birthday. Unfortunately that cruise was changed to 2 5 day Bahama cruise. So we switched to the 7 night NYE Eastern and got a great rate on a Cat 12, so we moved our rebooking discount to this cruise, because we really wanted to do a longer cruise. Holding out for a SPH room on this cruise and our travel agent is watching for us... Kristi, if you decide to drop one, let me know

We are booked for Main dining, but not sure if we will change or not. Our DD loved the clubs and all the activities and will probably be spending her time there. She would like to make sure we do beach excursions in Mexico, she had a great time when we did one on our Cozumel trip and we will have to find a similar one.

We live in Tucson, but you might have seen that I grew up where deseriemilburn now lives (even the same street). It is very hot and dry here now and ready for a cruise in a tropical place!!!!

Love the DRY heat...when it gets a little cloudy in the summer I can't stand the humidity when it reaches 25%. YUCK!! We only do Hawaii, Hawaiian & Caribbean cruises and DW during the winter time. I hear the MR should be nice in April.

Haha Laura! I booked these rooms in October, so excited to get the connecting SPH's. Now if they offered KSF for this sailing, we will drop them and have to change to a Cat 4. I think that would be cheaper for us. I am totally holding out hope that will happen. If that does, I will work with you and let you know when I am changing them. Would love for another DIS'er to get those rooms.

I cannot believe you and deseriemilburn shared the same street. Same house too? That would be really funny. Her and I live relatively close by now, maybe 15 minutes away. I live on the Lincoln/Rocklin boarder. When I get around to answering my PM's I would love to get together for a play date. Laura, if you ever head back up this way, let us know.

Thanks for the PM's regarding FE's. I will start my list.

Haven't heard from Deseriemilburn if we shared the same house... Then it really is a small world.
So much has changed in that area since the last time I was back there. I am trying to picture the Lincoln area. Is there still the Big S (for Sierra College) on the hill in Rocklin. We use to get Plums from a farm beneath that hill.
