[kritter]

Good evening All,

Heather and I have been working oh soo hard on a web site for our cruise... A moderator recommend to us that having all of our information on a secure web site that can only be accessed by all of us. In turn, we will be able to include much more valuable information about the cruise and all of our activites. Below you will find the information that we will need from each of you to put in the web site.

This is only for the DISers who are posting to this thread. Please have an adult in your group send the following & I will add it to the site & send you the link once I have updated the link. I will add your email to the group list so that you will be notified when the site has been updated with more info.

DIS ID: If you don't include this info, we wont know who you are.
Family name:
Individual names of family members (please include the children' ages at the time of the cruise so that I can put them in the right grouping)
Birthdates: so that we can add them to our cruise list
Celebration:
Stateroom:
Dining:
Hometown:
Pre/Post Cruise Plans: (Date arriving in FL & where you will be staying Friday night & if you plan to stay at WDW after the cruise. This info allowed some of us to arrange meets prior to the cruise.)

A short note with where you work & what activities you like to do.

Please send a picture of your family to be included. This way we will be able to reconize all of you...

For those with children, please send an individual picture pf each child to be put on the DIS Kids page by age group so that the kids can get to know each other a little better. Let the kids tell the others their age, grade in school, favorite thing to eat on the ship, favorite Disney character, & their favorite activity on the ship...whatever they want to write about.

We will have also have a page to list Palo resie times & excursions to help make plans.

Here are some pictures. We really did not take that many due to never seeing our kids. Sorry about the Christmas pictures but the cruise pictures went to the wrong album and I did not feel like changing it.

Dave....posting under Fran's name again

Dave (& Fran),
Great pics! It looks like you had a great trip. A little depressing looking at some of those pictures of Coz, though. Did you do the "advanced" beer tasting, too? I did both tastings in Nov , but it was the instructors last cruise. I'm sure whomever is doing it now makes it just as entertaining (but there's beer, so who cares!).

Hi! Just moved to this cruise from CC Double Dip in Nov. 2006 because we talked my mother and mother-in-law into going with us and MIL wanted the Eastern instead. People going with us:

Me (of course)
DH
DS9
DD7 (as of cruise, birthday is 2 days before cruise)
DD9 months (as of cruise)
DM
DMIL
And maybe DFIL if he can get the time off from work.

We booked the Double Dip on board the ship in January 2005 when there was only 4 of us. Then we had a "little surprise" happen later that spring and had to talk DM and DMIL into going to keep cost reasonable. Not that it was that hard to do. So now we have two rooms on deck 7 a couple rooms apart, with DD9 months registered with the mothers.

I haven't had a chance to go through this entire thread because of the length yet. Can you tell when and where the DIS meet will be? Also, are the DIS members doing a trick or treat? If so, just let me when and what we need to do to participate. Thanks.

Jennifer

Congratulations on your little surprise, too!

We just did the 2nd one on Thursday. Jez was the instructor, he mainly worked in the Promanade Lounge. He also make a very good raspberry mojito.

Hey Dave,
I'm sorry I'm a little scatterbrained right now! It slipped my mind that you had already posted about that! I feel a little bit like Nemo's Dory right now! What was I saying?

Good morning/afternoon everyone for this bright and glorious week to come!

Been busy with the crazy weekend and otherwise... but I am pleased to report the Disney store .com folks were 1st rate in handling my shipment problems. As some may recall - we ordered a couple of custom imprinted sweat shirts and t-shirts for the cruise. The sweat shirts come with our choice of Disney characters on the front - and the T-shirts are available in all sorts of cuts and colors -plus less customizable customized imprinting. Hoz dat for a play on words? I crack myself up "wit muy" creativitiy... "yuk-yuk-yuk"...

So - my problem with the shipment was 1st) that they substituted one sweatshirt with a T-shirt and 2nd) one of the kids' t-shirt came with a modest defect in it. So the customer service folks reordered a new sweat shirt to replace the t-shirt and i get to keep the t-shirt as they cannot resell a customized sweat shirt. The custom t-shirt with a hole in it is unfoprtunately sold out - so they refunded our $ and - of course - we can keep the shirt and make do with it. My spouse says she can probably make a repair to minimize the defect. Now that I am looking at (never did before) I must say it is almost indistinguishable - but that is coming from a guy who would wear most garmnents with a hole or two and not even care!

Oh yeah.... forgive me for conveying the "late" happy anniversery wishes to your family Kritter! I've been mildly distracted with other things and have not been on the thread here too much with the free time I've had these past 2 days. I hope your anniversery was a pleasant and "romanticly" memorable event.

So Hollydog,...

You should get your table wait staff to do a 1st or 2nd nite late birthday gig at the table for you! Of course, that is a given. And as for the DIS meet - we are as yet not scheduled for the DIS meet. But I assure you it is a fun little meet and greet that is likely to be just before embarkation OR possibly set for the 2nd day at sea. However, I think it is more likely to be embarkation day - 3PM at the promenade lounge (If I may so bold as to exercise brief "dictatorial" powers). At any rate - I imagine we'll soon have a brief round of queries where we invite the lurking DIS halloween folks here to post their recommendations for when and where the meet should be. As such - your opinion and preferences will have an opportuinity be heard!

Aside from that - XLT,... you suppose the bartender can mix up a "viurgin" Mojito for my spouse and I? I know you're gonna be all tears and wailing for us since my psouse and I are mildly allergic to alchol. Yeah... we'll take the hit and sacrifice so there will be certain to be more booze and beer for everyone else. It's tough - but we're willing to make the concession!

OK... I really have to run now....

I vote that kritter modifies our post #1 to reflect your "dictatorial" powers and the DIS Meet for 3PM at the promenade lounge and anybody who would like it some other time or place can offer that up as a suggestion. But, 3PM seems like the best time and the promenade is as good a place as any.

Thanks for your share of the booze, I will put it to good use.

Hi all,

My dh, our four children and I will be cruising this halloween. Just found this thread and thought I would say hi and can't wait to meet others we will be cruising with. This will be our first Disney cruise and am so excited. We are booked for the cat 2 and am so excited to learn more about the cruise and to get a chance to possibly meet some of you.

Take care

Evelyn

Evelyn....

Welcome to our little scary halloween gang! Ok, well ... maybe it's just AWOL who is the scary one that makes our thread creepy (it's his icon that gives me the creeps!)... well, maybe I'm just foolin'. As I think AWOL passes for a barely normal sort.... depending on whether a full moon is out!

At any rate, welcome welcome welcome to the thread! Have you seen the fun semi-private extra things we're planning? Ya gotta join in.... (well - really ya don't - but you're invited to!!!). AND wow.... a 7 year old PLUS 4 year old triplets!??!!?! We have a 2.75 and 5.5 year old daughters. We do have a number of children in our little DIS gathering here!

K' gotta run for now -

TTFN!

Hi and thankyou. I have a seven year old son and four year old triplets (gbb).

Wow, that is great. There should lots of kids around the ages of yours. You said this is your first Disney cruise, have you cruised other lines?

 

[fourlittlemunchkins]

Oh no, I should have said this is "our first cruise". We have never cruised. Quite honestly I have been worried about being on a ship with the triplets, but I think it should be easier now. Hopefully!!

We went last year with a 4 year old, and she had the time of her life. Your kids are at a great age to have a blast on the cruise.

 

[fourlittlemunchkins]

Thank you all! I have been trying to look through some of the previous posts and am really impressed with the activities you are planning. You guys seem like great fun.

Well, off to bed. The house is actually quiet right now so I think I will climb into bed and watch what I want to for once. LOL.

Thanks everyone
