Feb.13th(lucky for some) 2010 Eastern Valentines Cruise - The Love Boat Sails Again !

[PURTYPAT1]

Thank you Patricia and Barbara for your comments and suggestions. I also like the security of the ship tours, but also like saving money. Is Friday's Pina Colada the name of a mix from the liquior store? I don't ever remember seeing it, sounds yummy and right up my alley. I have already planned on bringing marguarita mix. Gotta keep the bar bill down to a reasonable amount.

Looking forward to continuing reading this thread from page 11 on and learning from the pros

Friday's is one of the best Pina Colada out there (IMO) It comes already made with rum & all. It is very strong, but tastes really good. All you need is ice a straw & pineapple garnish & your ready to go. I was able to find it in Orlando at ABC Liqour store last year.

That will be lovely! Thanks for sharing with us, Kim! Massachusetts doesn't have Powerball so I can't say that I'll return the favor

Powerball starts in Massachusetts this Sunday, so we have almost 2 weeks to win; it can't be that hard, right? If I win, drinks are on me.

Hi There Welcome!!!

Didn't I meet up with you last year???

Yep...that was us. This is our 3rd Pres Week in a row. Right now it is snowing with huge wind gusts. I cannot wait to get out of here.

Oh boy... that's exciting news ! Heck, if one of us wins by ourselves the next cruise can be on us!

Just looking in to say hi again..... and big thanks to Joy for all your hard work on here !!!

Sorry I've been side tracked lately by having to make some arrangements for our Dover - Barcelona cruise in July.........we are looking to take a week extra holiday from Barcelona since DH can't cruise with us this time. I have his flights booked to meet us when we arrive, and after a couple of days in the city, we are looking at heading off somewhere else in Europe ....maybe Sardinia ?


Hope to read through the last few pages of posts on here tonight & catch up a little.

MassDisLovers: Thanks for the invite to the Ladies Lunch. My Mother is visiting us from Phila and I've had little time to read thread, so I did not know about it. I will check with our traveling companions (the female half) and see if she is interested. Will get back to ya.

Patricia: My husband says your Friday mix is the TGIFriday stuff and it is available here in the Orlando area. Thanks for the heads up.

By the way, we are Linda and Jim, originally from the South Jersey area and now live full time in an RV. We are presently in the Orlando area.

We are orginally from Levittonw, PA which is about 25 miles NE of Philly, we live in Cental Virginia now. South Jersey...woohoo it will be nice to be around folks that say "we're going to the SHORE" and NOT to the "beach".

Funny you should say that... I was thinking the other night about all the accents we'll have in our group.... we'll have the British accent, the Boston accent, the NY/NJ, mid-Atlantic, CA and the deep south. (am I forgetting anyone?) I love to listen to different accents!

Hi All:

MassDisLovers, My friend, Pam, and I would love to join all you ladies at the lunch on Thurs. Count us in.

Barbara: Whenever we are back in NJ, we go "down the shore" all the time, usually to Atlantic City, sometimes to lovely Cape May or Ocean City.

Patricia: My accent is Philadelphia (Yo Adrienne) (woodder instead of water). It is very different than NJNY. No one wants us for commercials!!

To anyone who wants to know: I talked to DCL this AM and asked if anything special was being done for Mardi Gras and was told "no" So I am bringing my own Mardi Gras beads for Fat Tuesday.

Mom went home to Phila today and I have a few days to read this thread before we leave for a week at an RV rally.

Heck yeh!! I grew up going to the Shore. Ocean City, Asbury Park, Wildwood, Atlantic City. Folks here have NO idea what a "boardwalk" is!

Hoagie.......please a good hoagie! No one in Virginia even knows what a HOAGIE is!

Hi,

I am back from Australia and so excite to be going to this cruise.
I made myself stay up all day today and went to bed around 10 PM. At 12 midnight, only two hours later I am wide awake, so I am up typing on the Dis.

Over 24 hours of travel time to get from Australia back to GA, and even after I force myself to stay away, I still can't sleep. I hate this part with long distance travel. Last year I was up walking around Beach Clubs boardwalk 12-3AM, which is pretty cool to see at that time.

Well I am getting lots of cleaning and stuff done, and planning for the Disney Cruise. Man it's still cold here.

We are getting ready for the Fish Extender Gifts. So this week we will be making those.

I booked daycare for a few two hour spots for our three month old so we can see some of the shows.

I got this awesome Sea World / Aquatica / Bush Gardens offer in the mail with using your AMX. By a one day Sea World ticket and get an Aquatica or Bush Garden one day ticket free (exp Dec 31 2010). But we will be there in Feb and Dec this year and it is prob colder then. Also we already did Aquatica maybe six months ago. It was great, but too soon and now we have a baby so would be limited. So I think I might pass ever with it being a great deal.

We will be at WDW, AKV a few days before the cruise, if anyone is around.
I figure one MK day and then one shopping / pool day and that about covers it before the cruise.

We got our cruise paperwork at some point in Jan while I was traveling. So I just read all that.

My wife is signed up for the lady lunch and gift exchange thing, so I will be the guy with the little baby walking around the boat.

See everyone soon.

Hi Steve and welcome back home! I to am wide awake @ 2:24a....what the heck is up with that???

My husband will be the other guy walking around the ship with our daughter during the Ladies Lunch!!! Our daughter Jen is 21 and is my DH's "baby girl" she is a special needs gal and a really daddy's girl to boot so I am sure I will not be missed! You and John (my DH) should plan a Dad's lunch on Deck 9 complete with Pizza and maybe a tall beer

Can't wait to get packing for the cruise .....2 weeks from today we will be on the road driving from Central Virginia to Florida!

Have a GREAT "morning"

Steve,

We will be at WDW (Boardwalk) on Friday - arriving early afternoon. How are you getting to the port on Saturday morning?

What do you do for work that you were traveling to Australia? Exciting!

Who is linked to the late dining group and has young kids?

I told my 6 yr old that this cruise we would be having dinner with a large group and she wanted to know if there would be any kids her age. I can't remember who is late dining and the ages of any kids.

Please post and let me know. Thanks!

Kim

P.S. Still no freakin' cruise docs or room assignment...

P.S.S. I agree about the local food thing. I get a cheesesteak every time I go to Philly, and I get Pizza and Bagels every time I go to NY. Also, I grew up in Annapolis, MD so spent my summers in Ocean City, MD. I do admit I used to prefer OC in MD over NJ. But, as an adult, all of our beach trips are to Destin, FL. If you've never been, I highly recommend it.
