Eastern Fantasty Friends- Just trying to think of a name for our group that is all I have come up with so far. I'll keep thinking.

 

[SpeedFigure]

Welcome aboard!! Yes we are a friendly welcoming group. We all had such an amazing time on our May 2009 cruise, that we are all going again!! haha
In 3 days we can say we are cruising in NEXT YEAR!! WOOOOOO!!!!!
Though KLPers I am sad that we didn't the Inaugural because it moved up to March 31st. I could have sailed an Inaugural on my Birthday!!! Oh well. I'd still rather be with all of you!!!!

Since Sonya is in WDW freezing...I'll help with the countdown 509 days!!!!!

 

[wishlounge]

Happy New Years!! We can now officially say we are going on a cruise next year. Woohoo!

 

[SpeedFigure]

It's official!! We are cruising NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!

Now lets think of a name....hopefully they'll reveal our atrium statue soon!

Hi everyone! We are back from our Christmas vacation, the coldest winter in Florida EVER!!! It was so cold I was wearing more than I wear when I walk the dogs here!! Brrrrrrr! Still, was good to see all the Christmas decorations, but definitely the last time I travel in December!!

I am beside myself with excitment we are booked for May 19th 2012!! This will be our first cruise and I can not wait. I'm excited to get to know you guys before the cruise and happy a lot of you are already connected and seem to have a lot of great ideas, info, etc. I already want to research fish extenders, door magnets and all that other fun stuff . It's gonna be a long wait but Im glad I have you guys to chat with.

Shaunna

Welcome!!! I'm so glad more people are joining the cruise now! You will love cruising - its our second one! Its going to be an awesome trip!!

It's official!! We are cruising NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!

Now lets think of a name....hopefully they'll reveal our atrium statue soon!

Next year - eek!!!! Now its just next year I need to start thinking about what we are going to do for a week before the cruise - I refuse to travel all that way for just a weeks vacation! Am torn between a week in WDW, or a week going around places like New Orleans!

First countdown of the year . . . 501 days!! So close to breaking the 500 mark!!!

Happy new year everyone!!!

PS - should we fill the first few posts of this thread with pictures of us and info about us, to make us easier to spot on board?! That worked really well last time!

 

[SpeedFigure]

I was thinking the same thing. It was great last time!

 

[Tink113]

Sonya & JorDan - You ladies read my mind. I was just thinking the same thing.

 

[SpeedFigure]

I'll start this thread and then we'll figure out how to move it to the first page.

I am JorDan (26), my Husband is Chad (31) and our son G is (1, will be 2 1/2 when sailing)
We are from Orem, UT I am a stay at home mom with Conference work on the side. My hubby works for Comcast
This will be my 5th DCL cruise, Chad's and G's 2nd (ok I was just preggo with G on our last one)
We are AP's to Disneyland and go many times during the year.
My biggest Disney accomplishments are winning the Disney Dream Job in 2007 and being a princess in the park. And dining in Club 33 (I'm going again for my birthday in March!!)

 

[wishlounge]

I am trying to post a picture of us but I can't figure out how to do it. Help?!

 

[texfinn]

Ohhhhh, I love love love the picture JorDan!!! You guys are so pretty!!!! I still am amazed at how big G is.

I will work on finding a pic of the family for posting but maybe should just post me and Sabrina. Still on the fence on if Kai is coming (although he is booked).

On to my next train of thought --- Happy New Year everyone!!!

I'll admit my holiday stunk because I was sick with the flu and then we had houseguests (the in-laws who I do love) arrived. I think I won't get back to normal until the guests are gone (this Sunday ) and we are back in our normal rythm. I'll get in the habit of checking the boards and posting more then.

Now back to work.....

 

[SpeedFigure]

I am trying to post a picture of us but I can't figure out how to do it. Help?!

To post a picture, you need to have a URL link of the picture, so like find one on your facebook. Right click and go to properties and it'll list the URL link there. Copy it, then on your reply to thread page click on the little picture of the mountain/sun and that's where you past it in. Just don't double the http://
Hope that helps!

Eek, sorry you had flu. There is so much going around at the minute - we all had bad colds over Christmas.

Good luck surviving the out-laws visit!!

Hoping I don't jinx myself, but I'm hoping to book this cruise by the end of the week We are DVC-ers, so I'm using points. When I called yesterday, it was still open for point users, but I am paying our "booking fee" with my Disney rewards, and the card's not here yet I ordered it Sunday though, so it should be here by the weekend Anyway-- crossing my fingers!

My DH and I are 33 and 31 and we're from WV. We have two boys who will be 9 and just a week short of 8 at the time of the cruise. We took them on the Magic and were part of the Valentine Voyagers from February '09-- such a fun group! We're looking forward to another DISgroup this cruise! The Key Lime Pierates sound like fun!!!! Plus, the FE is itching to get off the hanger in the basement

See ya real soon!!!

 

[wishlounge]

Thanks for the how to on the picture posting, I will try and get one up in the next day or two.

 

[Disgirl83]

Now that our cruise is officially next year I think I can start getting on here more often (well as often as possible with a new 5 1/2 week old right now)!

What part of WV are you from? We're in Princeton.

Wonderful idea Sonya . I LOVED being able to put faces with the names of my DIS friends last time . OK, lets see if I remember how to do this.....

Please disregard the boy (OK, he's 20, not really a boy ) on the far right in the blue shirt and tan shorts. That's my son Jake's friend Sean who went to WDW with us this past May for his first WDW trip ever . What a neglected child he was . Anyway, time for some introductions . On the far left is my wonderful, fantastic, awesome son Jake (can you tell that I like him just a "little" bit ) He really is a great kid, as my Key Lime Pie-rates friends will attest to. He is currently a Junior at Purdue University, majoring in Physics and minoring in Astronomy and maybe Math if he has time . This cruise will celebrate Jake's graduation from Purdue. Also joining us will be Jake's girlfriend MaryRose (I'll find a picture of her to post later). She has never been on a cruise or to WDW, so I'm hoping that I have enough vacation time at work to tack on a week at WDW after the cruise .

Next to Jake is me, Kathy . HUGE Disney lover, as my license plate advertises (DZNY NUT ). I'm an Accountant by day to pay for my WDW addiction. I have lost count, but I believe I am nearing the "50 trips to WDW" milestone . I love to help family and friends plan their WDW trips for as little $$ as possible . I think of it as a challenge and I love doing it.

Next to me is my DH Brian. We have been married 25 years (HS sweethearts, awe ). He is co-owner of a sign production company. He is not the WDW nut that I am, but "tolerates" a trip to WDW every few years. In the mean time, I fill in with trips with Jake or friends. Brian absolutely LOVES Disney cruises . He has even admitted to me that he tears up when the ship sounds it's horn . This will be our 4th Disney cruise.

Brian and I bought into DVC in 1999 (VWL is our home resort) and love every minute of it. We have done several trips with family and friends using our points to pay for lodging. Brian is totally spoiled, because he refuses to stay at a value resort .

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's pictures .

I am Shaunna(36), we are from California and have been to Disneyland many times we went to WDW for the first time this past November. It was my daughter's wish from Make-A-Wish, and we loved it! My husband Patrick(32) will be sailing with me and my son Spencer and daughter Molly, 6 and 4 at sailing. We saw the Disney Dream on the Disney Christmas Day parade and I just knew we had to go on a Disney Cruise, soooo I booked it. Thankfully we have plenty of time to save up for it. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone over the next year.

Congrats Disgirl83 on the new baby!

OK, I have another picture from our May WDW trip that you can see our faces a little better:

Brian looks a little grumpy, but he really isn't. Jake is wearing the shirt with "07" on the front. The other folks in the picture are Brian's brother, his wife and their daughters. Such a great time we had .

Kathy....that's a nice picture BUT we can't see your amazing legs!!!

Hey Shaunna- how far away are you from Disneyland? We have APs (I know we live in Utah) But this summer Poohs Honey Pot and I are meeting up in Disneyland for a few days. So if you want to stop in and meet some KLPers before the cruise, feel free!
