Thanks for sluething, Brandie, and yes, you're a techo indeed!!

DH and I got into an argu---err---heated discussion about who was the biggest dork this weekend.

I think I lost that debate. But only because he forgets so much, and I never seem to forget a darn thing. I'm a walking treasure trove of esoteric facts...

Hi Elliotts Mommy!! Glad you'll be joining us...I've got a son, Reese, who will turn 5 in June...so he'll just be five when we take our trip. I'm glad you found our group and can't wait to hear more about your family!

 

[Buckeye Gal]

...DH collects the boxes that our electronics came in. He holds on to them for years. YEARS.....

Ummm.....I have NO idea why I have two Compaq boxes dated 1996 in my basement. Huberson must have dropped them off at my house to make room for more in your house. I just happen to have matching equipment that goes in them.

 

[MoCruisers]

This is the one we also booked....I see that you have a 10 year old daughter also...My 10 year old just signed up on the kids board!!!!

We will be going with my friend's two 11 year old!!!!!!!!

More time at the swim up bar

charlie

We booked this also, and will have a DD that is 9 and a DS 7. Sounds like it should be fun.

I really want to do the Swim Adventure, too, however, I don't want to miss this moment with my Grandmother. So I'll save that for the next time. I read the same thing about 4 or more getting a free taxi with your excursion purchase, and I was bummed that we're a party of three. If there's a taxi van, maybe we can all hop in together (including Maureen and company) on our way there.

Let's see what we can figure out I can always say I can't count!!! Or I can tell them I gave your mom another daughter!!! LOL!!

 

[Gramto3]

Are any of you going to do a Zip line excursion?

Bryce (my DGS) wants to do this and I lost my mind for a moment and said I would go with him! YIKES!

Question of the Week:

If you collect things, what are they?
~~~~​

​

​

Me: interesting giraffes (like a sock giraffe, or giraffe chopsticks) and teapots. I have a thing for tea, which you COULD say I collect if I didn't drink it all so quickly. I'm a tea addict. And a teapot addict.

Lionel: ALSO collects boxes (just threw out the Wii box, and we've had it for over a year), including all old video game boxes, which is why we have no room in our office closet. And pipes. And books! Books galore!

Everybody booking things is doing so independently correct?

Or is it 105 out already?

(As long as I didn't miss 90)

Must get my obsessive-compulsive-planner hat back on!

Oh my gosh - since my passporter arrived I have been in overdrive panic mode. I want to start making my lists, but I'm researching excursions, and trying to decide on my spa treatments, and....TOO MUCH TO DO!

Deep breath.

Ok...DH, DS and I have been booked on this cruise since January but I just found these boards and MAN am I glad. This will be our first cruise and its a celebration of my actually completing my master's degree in 18 months. As you can imagin though everyon especially the soon to be 4 year old in our house has been thrown off schedule by 'mommy's school' so this is my way for us all to reconnect. I look forward to meeting everyone and any suggestions anyone has for us first timers would be really appreciated.

Now I have a question for all of you guys.....I see lots of things that say "don't over pack" but nothing that says "pack this" for the disney ships. Am I just not looking in the right places? Can vets give me some guidence....I don't want to pack 'the little one' dressy clothes if he can go to dinner in his nice shorts and a polo shirt.

THANKS

Welcome!

Elliot's Mommy, as promised, I have some stats for you!

First, I'm excited to report that your family brought our total DIS count back up to 400!! You've also bumped us up to 29 states in the USA represented in our group!

Finally, your little pirate will find five other 4-yr old buddies from our DIS group to sail with on the seas and four 5-yr olds.

These boards are a great source of information, so don't hesitate to ask questions!

 

[crissichef]

COOL!!! It looks like we'll be taking the place over! I've heard great things about Chankanaab but don't know much about the restaurants on site... does anyone know, or have any menus?

Hello all - Denise and I and our families just booked the Dolphin Encounter for 1PM in Cozumel also!! Looks like it will be all us DISers!

Just a note for those of you who have booked. At the bottom of the confirmation email it says you have to email them to take advantage of the free transportation. You also have to email them if you have any free children (under 5).

I AM SOOOO EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE!!!!

We were very excited but...
We emailed about our 4 year old and thought everything was good to go - but we just got a call from Dolphin Discovery saying they don't have room and want us to take a 3:30 time. Darn!!! 3:30 is just too late. The DD rep said she'd try to work it out and respond via email, so we'll see...

Oh no!! That stinks! I'll cross my fingers for you! Hopefully my DM didn't get a call, too.

Thanks

Note to self... met Kimberly at Rocken D Bar and ask her what else she "COLLECTS"

Arin... hope to see you at one of the seafood resturants... Ill be the one elbow deep in lobster covered in melted butter and draining the tap (beer LOL)

Erik great idea about the magnet wall, thats got to be a fun thing to look at and countdown the days till your next trip/cruise etc!

Brandy... ok just figured out what E collect after you mentioned your DH collecting boxes.. ya mine too... and CD CASES. He takes the discs out and put them in one of those cd albums but keeps the DARN plastic Case.. IT KILLS ME.... so everytime he leave I throw a box of them out.. LOL he hasnt caught me yet... and im swearing you all to secrecy! lol

Diana (Gramto3) zip line.... tell me more.... thats sounds fun... I know the boys will probably not join me... not even my BIG BAD MARINE lol. But sounds like something I could like to do..... lol IS it bad I want to ditch them to do this? What they need some father son bonding time after being seperated for 8months RIGHT!

Rhonda- Country Inn and Suites was listed as
3-star hotel in Cocoa Beach - Cape Canaveral

I somehow have a feeling you will recall your "note to self", too!

 

[Fizzgig]

zweihund: The answer to your problem is an allergy to dust and/or dustmites. That means all the dusty boxes have GOT to go.

Drea: DH says your idea is dangerous and he wishes there was a way to hide posts so that certain people (meaning me) can't see them. He's still annoyed with me refusing to store certain boxes... such as the TV box that was the size of Kansas.

Kimberly: Are those the Compaqs that couldn't handle Y2K? Let gooooo... says the woman who held on to an iSeries machine I couldn't even plug in due to amperage requirements.

That would be our luck.......but I do not understand why they would keep letting people book if they were overbooked already!

I just checked DCL's website and they show us departing Cozumel at 6:30PM but DU is showing 10:30PM. What's up with that? I guess we will see!

OMG, I just read that the Magic carries Krispy Kreme Donuts!
Where we live, there is no KK nearby, so this is exciting for me.............sad, I know
