He is a Red Sox fan, and I'm a Jersey Girl (grew up in Bergen County) so of course, I'm a Yankee fan. Interesting Septembers and Octobers in our house!!

Hey everyone,

The clock is ticking down to our year anniversary date. DW and I just changed our stateroom to 7564. Mid ships, better view of everything.

I am in a Disney Cruise State of Mind today.

Ice storm yesterday in the Washington Metropolitan area. Ugh.

Hello We just got off the Magic this morning (kicking and screaming the whole way). We booked a b2b while on board. We'll be doing the February 21 Western first.

My name is Denise and my husband's name is Joe. Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Welcome, Denise. Can't wait to hear about the back-to-back experience. Our family was supposed to go on March 1 of this year, but decided to push it back a year instead.

Let's get this thread rolling!

Thanks Mark!

I'm so glad we were able to book another cruise while on board. It makes getting off the ship a little easier.Although my husband was still clinging to the door jambs by his fingernails.

I love the anticipation of the cruise and the planning! The year will go fast.

I agree completely. The last three times we have gone, I discovered that the only sure-fire cure for the post cruise blues in booking another one on board. What's funny is that our kids take it a lot better than me and my DW.

Off to skiiing with DS. Would rather be on Castaway Cay.

I went off to work. I would definitely rather be on Castaway cay.

My DS and I survived skiing, but it's 5:30 am, dark and cold in Washington. March 1, 2009 is NOT going to come fast enough for me.

Brrr...makes me cold just reading your post.

Welcome to our part of the country... We just had our 5th snow day! It's 16 degrees here now and expecting another 6 inches over night! There is already a good foot on the ground! Good chance of another snow day tomorrow! We haven't had this much snow all at once in several years! If this were 2009 I would so be packing right now!!! Hang in there each day is a day closer!!!

 

[tevagirl]

We hardly ever get snow any more. When it does snow it's usually gone in a day. I would love to have just one really, really big snow storm. The kids would be so excited. Of course, we would have no milk or bread on the grocery shelves but it would be so worth it.

Hi, by the way! I'm Denise.

 

[mark_story]

Wow.

I'm from New Hampshire originally and you would think that I like snow. Hate the stuff. Believe me, my "happy place" is Deck 10 with a strong drink in my hand.

And I guess that in Michigan, you must get used to the snow. But a Disney Cruise is a strong tonic for what ails me.

How many days? I'll just read my signature line when I hit submit..

Winter is rough, every year I wonder why we live here! Then spring and summer get here and it is wonderful!! Summers in West Michigan are absolutley beautiful!! Jan, Feb, and Mar. are really tough. Thats why we like to cruise this time of year...to get away from the cold!! We had to miss cruising this year because we put a pool in last summer. It's all about choices right?? As I look at my pool beneath a foot of snow Oh well... in another month spring will be in the air!
Untill then I too will long for that "happy place" on deck 10 with the drink of the day!!!

HI CYNDIE!

My name is Johnna (married to Mark) and also addicted to DCL.

We gave up our 2008 cruise (we would have been going next week!) so that we could do more weekends at the beach this coming summer. I'm sure that choice will pay off when June and July roll around, but for now, it's a little depressing.

But it's great to be part of our little support group.

 

[tevagirl]

We're getting a whole inch of snow today!! The bread will be flying off the shelves!

 

[4warmwishers]

Nice to meet you all!!
Thankfully the snow here has stopped and the kids have school today!! The sun is shining brightly and snow is sitting on the trees and it's quite pretty! Can you tell I'm trying to be optimistic??!! My computer says it's 8 degrees outside, although the sun makes it feel a little warmer. Think summer...think summer...think summer!!! We love the beach too, my parents have a cottage 2 hours north of us and we spend some weekends there enjoying the inland lake.
Thanks for the moral support
Cyndie
