Hi Floodmeister! You know, I'm not aware of the last-minute cruise deals, but we did go on a Disney cruise a little over a year ago and we're booked on another one later this year. As with everything they do...Disney sure knows how to do cruising!!!! It was amazing!!! I read an article recently that mentioned it was actually comparable (or sometimes less expensive) to "live" on cruise ships vs. in an assisted-living facility. So, that's my long-term plan. Hee hee.

I wonder if the first week in January would = good DCL deals? That seems to be the time everyone is getting back into the swing of things (work, school, etc.) after too much time off and too many festivities. We've found some pretty good travel deals around that time. Now I wish I would've talked myself through this before booking OUR Disney cruise...I probably would've saved myself some $!

Oh man if I have to wait until January I'll just go crazy!!! But hey, if it's going to be a sweet deal, then I guess I won't really mind the wait! Well, only 11 more months to go! WOOOHOOOO!

P.S. I don't think I would mind spending the rest of my days on a cruise ship... but to be honest, I think I'd much rather live in the bathroom in Cinderella's Castle Suite... but I guess there is still chance of drowning... hmm, I'm going to have to think long and hard about this.

 

[fleagle]

You are soooo giving Flea.......

Easy to be giving with imaginary money... and if I hold the winning ticket for $220 Million... it will get even EASIER!

 

[floodmeister]

Hey, FM, you could be our unofficial DIS CMO Thread Official correspondent!! Are you going to try to be around for the CMO activities?

Oh you bet your bottom dollar Marshay! But you knoooooooow, the ultimate goal would be to actually participate in the CMO activities! Am I right or am I right am I right right right... haha there's a little Groundhog Day quote for ya... Bill Murray... circa 1993-ish?

 

[floodmeister]

(Sad, but true! Now there's a disturbing visual!)


More "Angst" (from a Toddler's Mother): Each weekday morning, I allow my kids to watch Sesame Street while snacking on bowls of dry Cheerios. Today, I noticed that my DS2 had excused himself from the room and returned -- with a devious look in his eye -- pushing his sister's baby-doll stroller. I intercepted him just as he was about to steamroll over the mass quantities of "O"s he had dumped on the floor, grinding them to powder. This isn't the first time he has tried this little "stunt."

Now what would possess a kid to do that? (His older sister never tried it.) I'm not sure if I should be amused or annoyed...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA! (that's me laughing again at the highlighted part) Oh my gosh, that was the funniest thing I have ever read in my life!!! The mental picture of that has me laughing so hard I'm actually crying!

Ooops Sorry! I'm getting confused by the screen names vs. the real names ... which is your video/name?

Of course if you participate than you can't be an unofficial DIS CMO official thread correspondent! And I think Kenny already has that job down!

 

[floodmeister]

Ok, and here's my last one for a while...

I saw someone mention a Disney cruise. I've been on three (two 4-night and one 7-night), so if you have any specific questions, lemmie know.

I'm the gal with Disney Cruise questions! So far I've been told that a good time to book is that first week in January... which is a ways a way... but it does give me A LOT of time to plan which is good! I'm thinking about doing a 4 night to start, but you know what they say, "go big or go home" and maybe I should start with a 7 nighter?

Hehehe! It does get a little confusing around here. I don't know if anyone else does this... but I take notes. I'm serious! There's so many things going on! And oh, my name is Amanda, pleased to meet you.

'Glad you enjoyed it! Soooooo.... do you want to adopt a two-year-old? 'Just kidding, of course. I absolutely love my little guy (and his sister). I do have to say, though, the long winter months can make me a little stir-crazy. I'm sure that all of the families who are battling the flu right now can relate. (.... Marshay?) Sometimes I think I need to invest in a padded cell... I mean, what kind of damage could he possibly do there?

Somehow I missed this post -- Cheerio-stroller-crushing toddler !! Too funny ... when it's not mine!

Oooh, taking notes! I haven't taken notes but probably should since I can't keep the DIS screen name straight with the CMO name!

You're in Gaithersburg, right? I'm in Ashburn, just a bit over the border!

After watching the grandkids tonight, that sounds wonderful!!!

I wouldn't mind having a 2 year old at all! But don't worry, I can wait to have some of my own! My boyfriend and I have discussed having kids and he says he thinks they'll slow him down at the parks! Hahaha!

There's quite a few people here from the capital area! It really is a small world after all!
