DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

[OKW Lover]

It's all part of my master plan Jeff! By the way, what are you and Val doing in August 2011?

Might be cruising.

 

[Launchpad11B]

You two crack me up. Let me know when you put down the deposit and I'll put Tracy to work

Might be cruising.

This will be the day we look back on, as the first day of Kool Kid Kruise 2011 planning!

For those of you not on FB...my dad had a heart attack of some kind last night. We aren't completely convinced of it, but the docs claim that he did. All of the tests that were run on him came back completely normal...no indicators of a heart attack, but they did do one or two stents anyway. There was 85% blockage in two areas...one of those areas was a previous stent that had since been covered in plaque again. They put in a new one and strongly advised that he take heed and change his diet and QUIT SMOKING! Believe me...we've tried to get him to quit many, many, many times. He quits for a bit but goes right back to it. Drives us all nuts...my brother took away all of his cigarettes and told him that he doesn't care how much he begs and pleads, he won't be getting them back from him. Now to tell everyone else that dad comes into contact with...

He's fine now...already at home! I just hope that this was the one that "takes" and makes him realize what he's doing to himself...

It's been a long two days...dealing with this via phone calls and preparing for my niece and nephew's birthday party today...I am exhausted and don't feel well. I'm going to curl up in bed and watch Twilight. Talk to y'all later!

I'm sorry to hear about this, Brandie.

Mine was only 4400 for two cat 11-C rooms with 5 people.

How is it so cheap? Mine is $4200 for 4 people in a cat 11-c

I hear you Brandie, it seems as if all of our financial planning is based around DIS events! At some point we have to rejoin the real world and NOT attend every trip planned by the DIS or other DISers. The bottom line is that we just don't have the disposable income to do everything we would like. DAP and PCC 2.0 is all we have planned for now and we want to keep it that way for awhile. Besides, when the team releases the plan for PCC 3.0 sometime next year, I want to be ready for that.

I hear you there. We've been planning on doing two cruises. One with kids, one without. But, there is a great desire to want to do it all, and we just can't.

Update on Kool Kid Kruise 2011!!! Aug 16, 2011 is the only date that we can do that summer. It's a 5 nighter with a double dip to CC. Who's in? C'mon people let's do this!!

We could do the June dates, but Madi will be starting high school that fall, and she would miss her first days of school. (and I just threw up a little bit because I realized high school is that close).

Not sure, this was from Tracy, without ground or insurance and using on onboard booking discount because we transferred from the Dec cruise.

Now, this I might be able to do!!

What the heck!!! You are a crazy man!!!

When did I become the sensible one...

You better lay off those happy pills.

Although, if you told me it was Jennie's birthday present I would do it.

Alicia, meet Paul
Paul, meet Alicia

You two should really get to know each other.

Someone please take the Hydrocodone away from him...

Oooh, they gave you the good stuff!!

 

[shellyminnie]

Hmm . . . according to Disney's site, for me it would only be about $1300 for an 11B inside stateroom. Not too bad!! It's looking better and better!!

Hi All,

I see the cruise talk continues over here! lol I'm staying away from that for right now. I have no idea what I am going to be in 2011 nor where I will be. That is just way too far in advance for us!

I just got grades for the first marking period done. It took forever, as usual, but I feel a little bit less overwhelmed now that they are totally calculated and ready to go. Phew!

 

[Dodie]

I think we're sticking with PCC 2.0 and hoping that PCC 3.0 is on one of the new ships and far enough out from PCC 2.0 that we can afford to do it. Not that I couldn't be swayed, but this is my initial reaction.

I do hope all of the "KOOL KIDS" won't be bailing on PCC 2.0 though.

That's my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds good to me. Might be tight with Emma going back to school, but doable.

We're not bailing, and you and Phillip are coming!!!

This is my Jennie's birthday too!!! It's a lot cheaper than the June sailing.

You know you want to go!!!

 

[shellyminnie]

You know you want to go!!!

Well . . .duh!! You think I would let you guys have all the fun without me!! I don't think so!!

 

[DVCsince02]

$1100 cheaper.

Chris just reminded me. 2011 will be Ethan's first year in kindergarten. So they miss a day or 5....

 

[*NikkiBell*]

Shelly, did you order your pink hoodie yet? Any idea on what size I should get?

 

[shellyminnie]

Yes, I ordered it on Friday. I got an XL because that's what I would normally wear. You're a little smaller than I am, so I would say a Large.

 

[spaddy]

You are all making me crazy. August 16th was what I was going to book first and changed my mind to June 12th. Now I am looking at August 16th again.

 

[Launchpad11B]

I know it's an unpopular position to take but, a few days off from school is totally worth it for the memories you create on vacation. We pull Jennie out from time to time and she's still an A student. They're only kids for a short time, make the most of it!!! That's my motto.

 

[DVCsince02]

June 21
2 cat 9B = $5284.69
2 cat 9A = $5444.69

Aug 16
2 cat 9B = $4200.03
2 cat 9A = $4280.03

 

[Launchpad11B]

The price difference is the deciding factor for us. We will do this if we get a decent size group of DISers to go.
