First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise 5/10/2009

[calypso*a*go-go]

Do you have any issues taking your teenager out?

Yes, and no...DD will be in high school (she's the one I am concerned about), but DS will still be in middle school (a lot more flexibility). Luckily our school calendar comes out before the 90-day mark for the cruise so I am just hoping and praying there is nothing scheduled at either school that will cause a conflict with them being absent. If there is, we might have to cancel (which would just kill me!). So please keep your fingers (and toes) crossed for me!

Info for first post: Sue (me) and my 3 DS's Colt (will be 14 ), Dale (will be 12) and Mitch (will be 11)-OMG I now feel old!

My son will also be 14 (and his name is Mitch!). Get thee booked!

While I was looking at the list posted, it appears I'm one of the only cruisers bringing teenagers so far...my kids will be so disappointed if they are the only ones in that age group. Is it safe to assume (scary, I know!) that there will be plenty of other teens onboard outside our little circle?

I would have brought my kids (esp. my DD for Will!), but they both will be at college (if my son is admitted, that is!), their finals will be between May 8 and May 12. Can't see that happening. Of course, you can imagine what's going to happen to my house while we're cruising, can't you?

In the process of booking (I hope):

However, my kids always desert me for dinner after they've filled up on the top deck. So, I definately would appreciate someone or someone's to sit with at dinner and go to Palo's dinner and brunch with.

I switched from the first Tortola cruise. I've missed most of the other Podcast meetings and stuff and could not pass this up. Otherwise I would not have done a 4 day cruise as we love the full week. Our first DCL cruise was a 3 day so we haven't been back on the Wonder since 2003.

Where on the Cape are you, Sue? We're neighbors!

Hmmm...let me guess, does it start with K, end with G, and have a vowel in the middle that rhymes with weeeeeee?

First of all, CONGRATS on winning the cruise!!!!

I live in Eastham and work in Orleans-at a chocolate store..sound familiar? So, I'm way down on the Cape. Where are you?

I feel guilty about taking the kids out of school. Especially since at least one of them will probably miss a MCAS test. It's usually that time of year....but ya know LIFE IS SHORT! Dang it! Ya gotta grab your fun where you can!

 

[DebbieT11]

Pershing, you'll have *plenty* of company once those kids desert you.... shoot, if you can stand sitting with us, you're WELCOME to dine with me and TheBigGuy..... I love meeting new people!!

However, my kids always desert me for dinner after they've filled up on the top deck. So, I definately would appreciate someone or someone's to sit with at dinner and go to Palo's dinner and brunch with.

I've always said that...which is why Will is avoiding me, I think.

I hardly ever get that far down the Cape. I hang around Sandwich sometimes, but live in Plymouth. Y'know, that darned traffic.

[aGoofyMom]

I am just trying to get caught up - wow what a list! I just returned from a trip to Discovery Cove (WOW!) and Pirate & Princess to celebrate my Sister's birthday (we got asked for ID!!!!!!!!)

With all the chat about late dining I may have to look into this...while I am checking & discussing with DH - is it something that we can change?

 

[tickledtink33]

Well I convinced my husband to go(finally) This will be our second Disney Cruise. Well actually the 3rd as we went on The Big Red Boat may years ago with our youngest child at that time. But that turned into a Warner's Brothers ship by the time we left the dock- Mickey changed into Sylvester . Tracy, you could add our names to the list. We live down the road from Tinkledtink 33

Skip and Marilyn, 1st dining.
