Disney Wonder Sept 3-7, 2006

Lucas will be in Flounders every available second that Disney Cruise line allows us to place him there

I love him dearly but we'd love to do many things without him if you know what I mean. He is used to that type of setting because he goes in the church nursery 1 to 2 times per week so I don't expect many- if any- objections.

We may just take you up on the goody bag offer. Umm, need to think of something to contribute then don't I?

Vicki- can we get Sept 06 in the picture? I remember back last year when we discussed this.

I tried to shrink my picture or convert it from jpeg with no luck. Course I stink at anything related to computers

You should be able to. I think if you save it and edit it in paint or another photo editing.

So, what types of cameras are you bringing on the cruise? I'm ready to buy a new fast shooting digital camera.

LCT, saw your post about your new purchase on the DCL pic of the day thread!

I have a Canon powershot A520 and love it. I also bought the waterproof housing to help protect it on Castaway Cay.
Hubby has to camera-Canon Powershot A40 which ia a great camera! He has the waterproof housing for it and since he bought a new camera, he's going to use this one when he goes Scuba diving. His other one is a Canon S2IS-it has a better zoom than the other 2.

I know what you mean about Flounders. I think that Tammy is hoping that Dylan will enjoy it, too. He's quite verbal, he'll have the place in stitches. Never a dull moment with him around, that's for sure. He's like a 10 year old in a (not so) little guy's body.

Went to dd's first softball game today and got very frustrated w/ our older model dig. camera. I kept hearing myself say, I need a faster camera and a longer zoom range! I was about to chuck our camera out on to the field!

So, are there any more camera or website suggestions? I know there were links posted Waayyyy back, but if you would be so kind, could you repost them or share what sites you have found for camera hunting. I want really good zoom, fast speed, lightweight if possible, and multiple lighting possibilites.

Thanks all!

I'd love to post more about your posts, but our home is headed toward meltdown mode and its not my dh crying either.

O.k., I looked at this thread and according to it, day 2 is NASSAU day http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1103424&page=1&pp=15

WHAT'S MY POINT YOU MIGHT ASK....

I'll head up this day's meet if any one is interested in meeting! If my memory is correct, this is the day that Purplern and I will be soaking up the sun by the pool.

So, who wants to hang out with me? I'll buy you lunch...

Not sure but I think we're getting off in Nassau, if only for a small amount of time. I'll be sure to look for you by the pool though.

Coach Package: Includes hair style and shimmering makeup -- $35 plus tax.
Crown Package: Includes hair style, shimmering makeup and nails -- $45 plus tax.

Each package comes with a sash, and there are three different hair style options from which to choose: the Fairytale Princess, the Disney Diva and the Pop Princess.

Check out this link, there are some pictures of kids who've done it. I believe anyone over 3 can do it. It sounds simply adorable, I thought it was be a perfect birthday gift for DD. We are having dinner at 1900 Park Fare later that evening so she'll be looking like a true princess. We already have a brand new Cinderella Bride's gown with shoes from DTD so we opted for the hair and makeup package. I got the impression from other people that the nails weren't worth it. Check it out and I will post more pics after we've done it.

Wow, thanks LCT and BILL, it sounds like a lot of fun!

Bill- is there any caribbean water temp. predictors out there? I'm just curious of water temps through the year esp. at CC.

There is a NOAA Buoy off the coast of Cape Canaveral near the Bahamas. This link will take you to it. You can get real time information on water temps/air temps/ and wave heights It will give you a good idea of what it will feel like out at sea when we leave.
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=41009

The average water temperature for Bahamas in August/Sept is 83 degrees. The current Buoy reading is 77 degrees, so it should be getting warmer in the next few months.

I am getting anxious. I just realized we will soon be moving to double digit days left until the cruise. I sent the final payment in today so I could make my ressies on 6/5/06.

I just want it to get here already

do you need to be 100% paid to book excursions & reservations on ship.

 

[Ker-Bear]

I believe that is what my TA said but I could be wrong. I had some cash come my way and figured I would send it off before I spent it somewhere else. That was my impression. Call your TA and check with them. I already talked to mine today and I am only allowed to call him once a day and ask questions. just kidding I am pretty sure though that's what he told me. When I called to confirm the address today and what I needed to write on the check he didn't say "why are you paying in advance" I told him I wanted to get my payment in so that it could reach DCL by 6/5 so I could make my ressies and he didn't correct me. He gave me the address and told me the taxes had gone up and I had a new amount. It was like $1 more.

I in no way shape or form claim to be knowledgeable. It was just my memory serving me and I promise you, at times it doesn't serve me well
