Halloween Cruisers 2002 Where are you?

[JLSE50]

I guess we are starting a new post-cruise thread. I hope everyone is aware of this and checks out this discussion. I look forward to getting the right names with the Trick or Treaters and hearing how your lives continue into the new year

Hey you all, I'm moving this to the Community Board so you can continue your reminiscing and keep in touch there!

Enjoy!

 

[SueEllen]

Thanks for moving it Michelle. I believe Jan was trying to get it over to the CB anyway.

So how many of the rest of you are having cruise withdrawl? I know that I am. We had such an awesome time on the Halloween cruise, and would love to do it again some day. In fact this has made me want to do other holiday cruises.

You are right Sue Ellen, when I asked Michelle why our thread was closed and told her that when I clicked on START A NEW THREAD and it went to the cruise forum, I asked if that was OK. She said I should make a link to send people to the Community Board. I have NO CLUE as to how that would be done, so asked her to do it and, just like MAGIC, there it was.

Withdrawal--you bet! I have a flu so did not see any patients yesterday or today. My treatment consists of fluids, warm clothing and working on my trip scrapbook. We had such a nice time! We have our morning coffee and all day water and soda pop in our Cruise Line Mugs. Whoever is up first pours the first coffee and delivers it to the other saying it is from the Deck 9 Beverage Station. We joke about the waves being very slight as we look out the windows at the grass. When the weather was warm this summer we would say we were sitting on our private veranda when we were on our patio. Our son would roll his eyes

How is everyone else coping?

Hi guys
found you all again at last thanks Jan

We (me Dave, Bev & Rick and Heather) had a great time meeting many of you at the brunch and my kids James (Blue Power Ranger) and Nicola (Snow White) really enjoyed the Trick or Treating.
It was fun "bumping" into so many of you during the week, it seemed a very small world at times.

It was our second Magic cruise but the first for the kids and they've been so full of it since we've been back in cold England that we've booked again to do the Eastern Magic on 11th Jan.

Thanks for all of you being such a friendly bunch.

 

[JLSE50]

Welcome aboard DAVE! Thanks for the costume info!! I will go label that picture as soon as I send this!

Anyone else? Who was Cinderella? The pirate with the white shirt and BIG black hat? The old lady and old man? etc.

Jan

 

[Rose_Greenthumb]

Found you! Thanks for setting up the thread Jan. Typical, just as we were about 2 posts short of 90 pages too!

 

[JLSE50]

My sentiments exactly EMMA!
In spite of my head cold or flu or whatever this is, I am going to buy stamps, mail some things and pick up a nutritious lunch at McDonalds. Tom has been working on business all morning and has gone to Fed Ex the product so we will meet back here for food.
DAVE: I was Snow White too! Too bad we did not get a picture of me with Nicola. But I did not dress until dinner.
Hope everyone is having a nice day.
Jan

PS: I have gone through all 89 pages of our old thread and sent PMs or e-mails to everyone telling them how to find this new one in case they are interested
EXCEPT
I cannot find an entry for familycruiser--Nicole
If anyone knows where she checked in and can let me know and/or send her the address for this thread, I would be most appreciative. I wonder if her daughter Laruen was the other SnowWhite and Riley was Batman. If so, what was Luke? and Claire?
I remember seeing Claire at eye level at my door as I had a different treat for her since she was so little.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Hi Jan, glad you got a new thread started. Why was our old thread closed????
I have been so busy, I signed on another infant since we got back. I now have a 4 month old Xavier, along with my others Jeremy who is 6 month, Alex who is 5 and doing very well by the way, his little brother Adam and of course my Ashley. Child Locate Services called me the other day and asked if I would take in 2 more special children. What the hey is 2 more.
We found a contractor that we liked and our project should be underway in the early spring. So if you don't see me posting for awhile you'll know why, my hands are too full to turn my computer on.
Yes Ashley was Tinkerbelle. We got some news from Ashley's teacher last week, she is being placed in a special program for gifted children. Yes Bill and I are patting ourselves on the back.
Sure wish we had signed on for next years Halloween Cruise. Maybe in 2004 when our projects are finished at home.

Jan,

I found the thread! Nicole was from the cruisecritic board. I don't think I still have her E-mail address, but I'll look later tonight. If I find it, I'll send her your e-mail address so that she can get in contact with you. I think that Ginger might also have a way to contact her.

Michelle posted this before she closed the thread:

Hi Halloween cruisers! Time to close this thread here since your cruise has been over for a bit. Like other past cruisers, you are welcome to start a NEW thread for keeping in touch on the Community Board.

The thread is still there, but we cannot post on it. It will sink down in the list and eventually be chopped off.
I hit START A NEW THREAD and it posted to the Cruise Forum not the Community Board. I sent Michelle an e-mail asking if that was OK and she said it should be on the Community Board since we are not preparing for a cruise together as we were before Halloween. She said I should link it to that board, but I had no clue as to how that would be done and told her so. She made the link.

I PLAN TO STAY SUBSCRIBED TO THIS THREAD SO I WILL GET REMINDERS ON MY E-MAIL WHEN SOMEONE OF YOU POSTS.

I am feeling better tonight, so will probably see my two patients tomorrow.
Have a good day,
Jan

Thanks Jan for creating this thread!!

nutritious lunch at McDonalds

LOL!!!!

Yes, SueEllen, I'm having withdrawals! I swear if I lived in Florida, I'd already have a short 3 or 4 day cruise scheduled!!!!! But we do plan on doing another 7 day cruise next year. I'm looking at our schedules and looking at the prices to figure out when we are going to go.


Ginger, are you a foster parent? or run a daycare?? either way that's wonderful that you are taking care of special needs children!!
Bravo for Ashley!! (and you & Bill!!)

 

[Rose_Greenthumb]

Ginger- Congratulations on the gifted and talented thing! We have one at our school but both my brothers and I are talented at the subjects that dont count (my brothers maths and me english). Ah well, Im still in the gifted and talented classes, im just not on the list!

It's been one of those days where it never really goes light properly. It's just rained and rained. It seems to have stopped for the moment but now it's cold!

It was so strange getting off the cruise and eating elsewhere. I kept expecting to be able to order 2 desserts and get a reccomendation from the server!

 

[JLSE50]

Did goofydisney's Annabelle participate?

THANKS
Jan

 

[njfamily]

Jan,

Mpaone's children were the old man and old lady.

 

[JLSE50]

Thanks LYNN!
I assume it was Courtney and Shawn--not Bryan, right?
How about Annabelle (goofeydisney's daughter)? Did she participate?
Do you think the Snow White and Bat Man were Lauren and Riley (children of Nicole)?

Jan

 

[TinkerBellPixie4GOAL]

Heylo everyone! I found you! Thanks again Jan for starting it! Well as Jan and Emma both know I have now seen Harry Potter II TWICE! and I will see it again next Tuesday. Our school just went htrough accreditation and passed with flying colors. Our order forms just came in for our cap and gown for graduation. and in January we will go see Jesus Christ Superstar at teh Bobcar theatre. (And here we go again) Does anyone else have anymore of those theatre - theater or bleu - blue, you know those.

Does anyone have any good suggestions for movies coming out soon or that are already out (that is besides Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers)

 

[JLSE50]

THANKS PATTY ! ! The picture of us with Estelle and Phil is the only one we have! Don't worry about it not being good, I am thrilled to have it and will scan it to send to Estelle.

For some reason we did not ask anyone to take our picture together. Also wish we had gotten a shot of the four of us with our table servers and another with our room hostess but that is 20-20 hindsight.

Estelle got a new camera--Paul must be on the same wavelength as Phil.

I have a title page for our trip done and all the Cruise pages and the WDW pages. I hope to get the trip home and the trip down done so I can put it together to take to show friends at brunch today.

Have a good day all,
Jan

 

[SueEllen]

Just another "hello" to everyone. It's cold here, and supposed to be even colder by the middle of the week.

Thanksgiving is approaching fast and I'm nowhere near ready. Where's that server from the Magic when you need him ?

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday.

Sue Ellen

 

[JLSE50]

LOL I had never thought to wish for a server from the ship to help with the holidays! What a great idea!

Except for the photo of Estelle in her Malificent costume that I HOPE she will send and I am saving a space for, I think the scrapbook from the cruise is done. I have showed it off to several friends in its various unfinished states. My "artistic" friend will see it Wednesday. She makes incredible scrapbooks, so if she thinks it is OK, that is high praise. But most of all, I like it so that is what counts.

Have a super Thanksgiving,
Jan
