"Double Dip Delight" Alternate Western 09/27/08

[MAGICFOR2]

Awwwww, a baby girl! Congratulations Jim and Tammie!

And a great big Welcome to Stacy as well - I will update the roster as soon as the board lets me edit the post. Something weird going on.

Just spent three days at Disneyland, so I'm on a Mickey high. So cute... my friend was visiting with her six-year-old and almost-two-year-old... the baby calls Mickey Mouse, inexplicably, "Apple". He pronounces it as "Apo", so now everytime I see Mickey I hear baby Jaden's voice in my head, saying "Apo, Apo!!!"

How Cute! I bet you are having withdrawals! My DGS calls Minnie "MiMi". I love this age (2). Thanks for being our leader!

hi all

i am still majorly considering booking the Sept doube dip for 08. Still going this Sept and hoping to book during the cruise. maybe can get a better price than what is being offered online right now.

I really believe for me taking at least one 7 night cruise a year is a major priority for here on out <G> Would love to get a 3 night in once a year too <G>

I am hooked and let's hope my pocket book is as hooked LOL.

I am hooked and let's hope my pocket book is as hooked LOL.

I totally understand! I actually started an occasional weekend job at another hospital to pay for cruise without restricting our already-tight budget (I am a budget task-master and I owe it all to Suze Orman....I LOVE her), but I am desperately trying to find some loophole in my system that would allow a little three-nighter in there somewhere......

A girl can dream.

Well I went on, booked for Sept 2008 cruise. If can get a better rate during this Sept's cruise, I can cancel today's and rebook with better rate.

So I just couldn't hold off I had to book today

Booked HC room 7636, late seating for dining, and will celebrate birthday alhtough it's really a couple days prior to the cruise. DCL said no problem, so will celebrate it on Sunday Sept 28

Still have this coming Sept 7 night and it's six months away. I can barely wait for this and now to wait 18 months before this special cruise OMG. How will I ever make it

Hoping can get a friend to go in 2008. So far no one is available for this 2007 cruise so going alone. But hey on a cruise ship who is really alone? Although I truly hope a friend can go in 2008, if not then I go alone again. And all fellow cruisers will have to put up with me rolling around chatting to anyone and everyone.

So watch out for a middle aged woman, in a power chair that will be decorated with Disney plush character key chains (and who knows what else), and carrying a Pal Mickey and a plush Minnie dressed up each day and for dinner.

I am booked, that's my story and I am sticking to it

ok guys, I have 6 months before crusing. if i don't stop making signs for the door, or designs for tshirts, designs for buttons etc... I am going to have over a 100.

now can you imagine how many I am going to have with 18 months of waiting and planning

Ok next 6 months i work on for this year. Then once home immediately begin working on ones for 2008. ok so that is about a year of creating signs, buttons, designs to iron on shirts etc....

I need a 12 step program to curb me in making something every night

really i already have WAY too many for this year. so OMG what am I going to do for 18 months??????

off topic: if interested in seeing pics from this past weekend at WDW celebrating St Patty's day check my online album: Shamrock Retreat

On main page are albums from this years Jan cruise. You will notice most pics are of Pal Mickey dressed up Ok I am overboard with Pal Mickey. But it's fun

Hi everyone,
I have been reading but been quite busy:

Two weeks ago we sold our house but did not have another bought yet It was quite stressful, but yesterday our offer was accepted and we settle on both houses April 30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are doing a Mickey Mouse bathromm, I am soooooooooooooo excited We also decided to take a quick trip in December, I really want to go to the Christmas party but Dh can take off for a week so 4 days will have to do

Congrats to the newcomers, and congrats on the baby girl

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Welcome Aboard Marsha! I'm glad you decided to join us after all!

Welcome Back Denise! congratulations on your house deals! A bathroom! What fun! I am working on a Classic Disney Kitchen - it was already black and white. Have fun planning!

 

[brady961]

thanks for the "confirmed" welcome. I had been teetering on booking this since I got back from Jan cruise and booked this Sept. Now only have to find ways of getting thru waiting the 18 months for this cruise <G>

Hi All

hmm... Other then the Lime Green Mickey Heads, borrowed from Home Depot I've never decorated our door.

I'm starting to think I should Really make our doors pretty. Sept will be our Niece's, and my In laws 1st DCL !! So I will make 2 special door signs


Congrats and Welcome to all our New bookies!!

I am frightened to say that I actually BOOKED this cruise just a few days after booking my very first cruise for Oct 2007. I guess I'm thinking that we're gonna love that one so much that we must do another the next year...right? right? I figured at worst we'd get our deposit back - but this cruise just looks fantastic! This one is actually cheaper than the one I booked for this year - by a little bit. It just isn't like me to be plunking down $1000 deposits twice in one week....believe me!

The crew is me (43) and DH (49) and my two kids who will be 10 and 6 by the time Sept. 2008 rolls around (my 10 yr old will be almost 11).

I am REALLY excited to be going on my first cruise this Oct. (a Western) and this double dip to CC looked like the perfect fit. My DH isn't much of a WDW nut like me but he LOVES to eat - so I'm hoping the cruise will fit the bill for him.

There is a current post in the main DCL forum about how ready the ship will be for this particular sailing when coming out of dry dock: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1396290

Anyone have opinions on this? I'd be pretty disappointed if parts of the ship were closed off and repair work still being done!
