Early Roll Call For January 29, 2005 western....Anyone Out There?

[njdrumrun]

is it normal to get my excursion stuff before my DOCS?

as for dinner seating...my husband's boss is cruising the same week. his kids are 13 & 16. they want to sit with us. my thought was for my daughter(6 y.o.) sitting with kids her own age. kids she might be spending time with at the lab. how flexiable is the seating without going to the buffet?

 

[disneylover5]

Dinner seating is not very flexible. In order to sit together, you should contact Disney now and ask. The seating is all pre-arranged before the cruise starts.

If you are both scheduled for early or late seating now, they may be able to arrange it. The kids can always eat in the clubs.....my kids like that...eating with their friends.

If you can not arrange to sit with your husbands boss, maybe you can schedule one meal at Palo together. That would be a very special treat!

Congratulations The4Nitz family, I am calling my TA when he opens up!

Had a good holiday, and still trying to get things put away and laundry done, have promised myself to get all done and decorations put away before I start getting ready for the cruise, my only incentive to get it done fast.

Megan is getting very excited to meet all the kids and to swim in Mickey's pool.

We are up for the DIS meet and hope to see everyone there. We only have 25 days until we leave, only hope we don't wash away in the flooding we are having here in "sunny" CA.

Yes! We got 5 out 9 docs today!! :

 

[disneylover5]

Yes! Now they have all arrived!! Now we can really dance!

I am ready to go now!!!

 

[nemoid]

We got the documents today!! I can't believe it is as close as it is!
Let the packing begin!!!!

 

[the4nitz's]

I am ready to start packing, just waiting for DH to get suitcases out. I have the DOCS all filled out. I don't think I will be able to wait until the end of the month to go. DD's were looking at the photos of last years cruise, they are getting more excited, if that is possible.

 

[MamaCrush]

Got ours yesterday, too!! Now DH can breathe. He's a worry wart and wasn't going to get excited until he had the documents in hand!

I know this sounds crazy-- but part of me doesn't want the end of the month to come too soon. We're having so much fun with the preparations and planning, and plus the sooner it's here, the sooner it's over! However, being a cup half full type of person, I'm getting over it.

The kids are getting so excited...

 

[njdrumrun]

none of are excited at all!!! :jumping4:

we bought new luggage..actually our first real luggage. we have always lived out of duffles. guess it's time to grow up a bit.

24 days till vacation!

I have been sprinting out to the mailbox and wishing each fed ex and ups truck to stop driving past my house! Its not working!If you all are getting them, mine should be here soon. I am sooooo happy that the holidays are done. We are in cruise mode-big time. 90% packed. --Maria

ps-How does a DISmeet sound for Mon the first "Sea day" in the afternoon?

 

[njdrumrun]

mariamaid...just make sure you don't unconsiously step in front of them to stop them!! that would be bad!!

a meet..tell me where!!
no one answered this..."is it normal to get my excursion stuff before my DOCS?"?? i figure at least they have us as being ON the ship since they are letting us reserve excursions.

 

[MamaCrush]

A meet sounds great to me, too. Since I've never been before, I will defer to other more experienced disers as to where and when!

I almost wish we had nametags so if we pass in the halls we would know it!

 

[njdrumrun]

hey guys..how do i get the countdown??

don't really need it as the cruise is all i think about..but it is cool!

Enjoy, I have,

Any other 5-7 boys out there who will be joining my boys in the Club? I have one son turning 7 on the cruise, and I also have a 5 year old son. Does anyone know if they do anything special for a child's birthday?

This is our second cruise (We took the Eastern in 11/02). We are staying in room 7594 (we were in 7060 last time, but it was already taken for this cruise). We live in San Diego and are annual passholders to Disneyland - we are big Mickey fans!

We did the Disney excursions last time but thinking about trying our own this time. Has anyone signed up for the Dolphin Encounter on their own, or Stingray City? What tour companies are you using? I want to minimize the walking from the dock, if possible, because of the kids.

i got it..i got it!!!!

thanks!

sandiego, i've got a 6 y.o. girl that loves to play in the dirt in her dresses...closest thing to a boy! LOL!

 

[the4nitz's]

Sandiego4, We have a DD5 who plays like a boy and will be in the clubs. Her name is Makenna. Our other DD2 will turn 3 the week after the cruise. We will have the servers bring her a birthday cake one of the nights in the dinning room and sing her Happy Birthday. We did this last year and she got a kick out of getting her own cake to eat. I don't know if they do anything else or not.

 

[MamaCrush]

the4nitzs-- which age group will McKenna be in? DS4-1/2 will be going with his sister (DD just turning 3 week before cruise). I've mentioned McKenna to Brosnan a while back and believe it or not, he brings her name up when we talk about the club!

 

[the4nitz's]

Makenna will probably want to be with her sister Alaina in the 3-4 year old group.

Monday sounds good to us for a DIS meet.
