Disney Wonder Sept 3-7, 2006

Happy Sunday!

I am completely and utterly in cruise mode now. I can't believe it's only 7 weeks away! And, we may have convinced another couple to join us! The funny thing is, we had been trying to get them to come all along and it was only yesterday (in our "how did you like POTC2?" call) when we informed them of the Flying Dutchman's current home that they started seriously considering it.
Awesome vacation? Nah......oh, but the pirate boat will be there? We're in!

After looking at pricing online to relay to her over the phone, I started looking into 7 days for 2007. We could get a balcony in September '07 for $1149 pp for the Western, with TWO STOPS at CC. How awesome would that be???

The sad part is that we had been planning to start a family at the end of this year or beginning of next, which would put a bit of a damper on those plans......I would either cruising pregnant, or with an infant. That's not the sad part. The sad part is, I almost asked my husband if we should wait another year!

That's how I know I am a Dis cruise addict.

I know, I have not been yet and want to go again already. Good luck on your future family. I hope everything works out. Is there a grandma or grandpa that you could leave the new baby with. The baby would have no clue and what a great break for new parents.

We haven't gone yet either and we're already wondering when a second cruise will be in our plans.

As for the family...don't wait....you can do it all!

I just found an 8GB memory card at Costco.com. HOLY MOLY! Not sure if that's in my budget for this year but I'll be keeping it in mind!

Baby no baby, it doesn't matter. You'll still have a great time! Plan away! Heck, rebook onboard and get extra stateroom credits too! I would!!!!!!! And you can eat all you want and just say, I'm eating for two.

Hehe, true!
"Two chocolate souffles, please, and don't skimp on the vanilla bean sauce!"

 

[mom_of_2_princesses]

Oh Yeah,
Dumb me! If you breast feed I guess it is kind of hard to leave the baby. I did not think of that part. Oh well, you would have fun. Go for it. You could always just book on board and then transfer it to another time if you are to pregnant to go. That brings me to a question. How long do you have to travel if you book a cruise on board?

 

[mom_of_2_princesses]

For the life of me I can't find the last updated list for the goodies. Search is not working of course. Can someone tell me the page it is on and are we on a final count or are we accepting more kids. I saw a couple of things but I want to make sure nobody has gotten them.

good question. I'll ask a seasoned cruiser friend of mine. I'm not sure where the goodies list is either. Ohhh Dawn, where are you????

Is the 8GB for your computer or a camera? I am a computer dummy! Quick, let me know so I can pass it off like I know some thing....

if anyone is interested.. night!

 

[ReallyFunMom]

Why do you have to wait? Is it because it is a GTY?

Yes, I think that was the only way to book Cat 12 when I booked. Going with the line of thinking, sail the best ship with the worst room (cheapest).

It's actually for a digital camera. Huge amount of memory if you ask me. I was excited when I found 2GB...I can't even imagine 8!

We went to see POTC2 again last night. It was our anniversary...we went out to dinner and then hit the movie. Much easier to watch a 2nd time, I could focus on the details. It was still awesome! My DH and I don't get to go on too many "dates" without kids...we've probably been on only 9 or 10 since we met. It was a great night!

Back to reality now though.

Cool video Patsy, thanks for sharing! Was this taken with a digital camera? I always take videos with my camera but I've yet to figure out what to do with them.
