FEB 14 2004 Western Cruiser's

[clara]

hi we are going on our first cruise ever and feeling nervous excitement. we have a 12 year old dd, a 7 yr old dd and a 4 yr old ds. my daughter is also annoyed she cannot be in the teen group and would enjoy emailing or im ing other 12 year olds that are "stuck" in the younger group.

Clara,

Are you going on the feb 14th cruise? My DD 12 would love to talk to your DD. She talks on aol instant messanger with another girl who is from this cruise. She is really excited to already know someone from the cruise. PM me and I will give you her info.

My dd12 is also upset, her brother(14) & sister(17) will be in the older group. I am not ready for her to join them. She can't, she's only 12 1/2 on our cruise.

She informed me she will find me whereever I go, I made the mistake of telling them I will be enjoying some alone time in the adult only section.

She currently doesn't have an AOL screenname, will get her one this afternoon and PM it to you. I'm sure she would love to chat with someone beforehand, I'm sure she'll feel more comfortable that first day if she knows someone before. There seems to be two other 12/13 girls from this thread going but they may be allowed in the older group.

When do you fly in? We will be at the MCO Hyatt on Friday the 13th.

Lynn,

We are driving. We will be driving straight thru from Michigan and getting to Orlando on Friday. We are staying at the Wilderness lodge and then driving to the port in the morning. We are DVC members so we want to just use some point for the night and spend some time in Downtown Disney.

My DD will not be online tonight to chat to your DD but maybe tomorrow.

Hi

Robin - We also like the security of Cruise provided Air. Four years ago we were booked on a Celebrity cruise and there was a small snow storm on the Friday before Presidents week. We had a 6PM Friday flight for a Saturday afternoon cruise and when the flight was cancelled we had to really scramble to get to Florida. All of the Saturday flights were already full. We got lucky and our travel agent found us a last minute flight on Midway (I think). We live about 15 minutes from LGA and that is about all the time we had to get there.

Clara - We have a 7 year old daughter who would like to email (she doesn't IM) your DD7 if you are going on the 2/14 cruise. Our daughters name is Jori and her email is JoriY@aol.com.

Jeffery,

We got the buttons and lanyards today. Thank you so much. They are awesome. My kids thought they were "COOL" We really appreciate your generosity and talents in making and providing this fun way to get to meet our fellow DIS board friend.

Wow, you are all so organized booking your excursions already! We haven't even received our docs yet and since this is our first Dis cruise I am only learning the ropes from your posts.

Guess I better call our travel agent, huh?

 

[moocow35]

Gee Reddaddy,

Your travel agent should have supplied you with all the information on pre-booking your excursions at the 60 day mark. Yes, I would make a call. The documents should be coming in the next week or two!

I don't know about everyone else, but this new cold snap is for the birds, and I can't wait to enjoy the 80 degree weather on the cruise!

Thanks to all that sent PM's with screen name for my daughter. Thanks for the info for Palo Laura.

We have to take a little trip to the Montreal area for my grandmother's funeral, will be home late Tuesday. She had been ill for some time (my aunt cared for her all this time so she died at home). She is now finally at peace.

I'm sure my daughter will be getting aquainted with her new pals then. We will have to start some serious packing next week. Right now I have to pack for -20F in Canada, brrrr.

Lynn,
So sorry to hear of your loss, have a safe flight . My daughter will look forward to "chatting" with yours when you get back.

Lynn,

I am also very sorry to hear about your loss. Stay warm, I don't know how it can get much colder!

Clarisse,

I have never found it cool on the ship. But I'm always hot anyway. Florida can be cool in February, but as soon as we get to Key West it was around 85. Very warm in Grand Cayman and Cozumel as well. I always pack my summer sun dresses to wear, and a few pairs of shorts. I've always been very comfortable with only that. Perhaps a light sweater or wind breaker for nights up on deck.

Lynn,

We also offer you our sympathy over your loss. Even though we haven't met yet, we care and wanted you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

We will be on this cruise too. We have 2 children, dd1 is 8 and dd2 is 4. They would love to meet a couple of kids their age to be with on the ship. Anyone sailing from Canada? We have never been on a cruise before and are all very excited to try Disney as our first. Thanks.

Hi Mark (Laura's husband)

Try this link: http://disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=381216

If that doesn't work, go to the technical board, and you will find the thread to add the countdown timer. Don't feel bad, it took me a while to get it down.

Torontodisney,

Glad you found the thread. You made a really good choice going with Disney. This will be our 5th cruise, does that say enough about how happy we are with the Disney Cruise Line?

See you soon!

Robin
