Now I only see a box with an x in it. When I right click and go to show picture nothing happens. Help. What do I need to do different?

Hello!
I decided to jump in here - Thanks to Michele who so nicely responded to another one of my posts! It will be me (Jamie), DH - Mark, DS13 Jacob and DS7 Nathan. We are also in a Cat 12 gty - and just SO happy to be on the boat! This will be our kids first cruise - DH & I went on Carnival for our Honeymoon 18 years ago - but that seems like a lifetime ago now so it really feels like our first too!

I am especially excited to find a buddy for Nathan because I know it will make all the difference for him - so thanks again Michele for "finding" me!

I really loved seeing all your photo's - sadly, I am waaaay too computer challanged to figure out how to post any. OK - to tell the truth I haven't even figured out how to use my new digital camera yet (DH is working on it, but this is his super busy season, so he's not making very quick progress either!) Can you tell we are a BIT challanged in this area? LOL! Eventurally though I bet he'll figure it out - he is pretty good if he's got the time to tinker around with it - me- not so much !

Hey, maybe by the time I can post a photo I'll manage to lose a few of those extra pounds - well, a girl can dream!

Hey Jamie,
I'm so happy you've joined in the cruise meets. Blake has been asking me since we found a friend for Regan if there was going to be a friend for him on the boat too. Blake likes super heros also. His favorite is spiderman. I'll post a photo of Blake here so you can show it to Nathan before the cruise. Luckily my DH is a computer programmer so he helped me with all of the technical stuff. I'd never have been able to figure it out on my own. LOL

Here's a picture of Lauren and Taylor. That completes our family.

Michele - what a good looking family you have! Blake is adorable - he reminds me a little of Nathan actually! Now I am ITCHING to tell Nathan all about Blake - and I CAN'T - whaaaaa! He DID notice his picture on the screen though and ran over to look - I'm sure it might have had something to do with Tigger - but little does he know he was really looking at his future buddy too !!

Tell Blake Nathan also loves Spiderman - in fact, for his 5th b-day he had a Spiderman theamed b-day party complete with a huge Spiderman shaped moon walk (we call it a "jumpy thing"). Now he's really into Batman - because he LOVES capes LOL! Anyway, sounds like they will have plenty in common!

Lucky you to have a "computer guy" in the family - I'm jealous! My brother is pretty good at all things computer and he used to be good about helping me (and my parents too) - but of course he moved to Michigan a year ago (we live in Minnesota) - now the rest of the family is "lost" again! Oh well.

Oh, I suppose I really should go get some things done...I'll be in touch though!

Thank you. Blake has been spiderman the last 3 years for Halloween. There is no way I could keep the cruise a secret that long. Good luck!! You sound like you're ready to burst with excitement already.

Hello Jamie.

We live in Brazil and we will also be in the same cruise. See the previous posts in the previous pages so you can get to know us better. You will also see pictures of us and our daughter Pietra (4 y). Pietra and Regan (Michele´s daughter) are exchanging pictures already. We are very happy we could meet here so we can get together during the cruise and the kids could play together. Hope to meet you guys also in the future. Our stateroom is 7514 cat. 8
Take care
Hope to hear from you
Marcelo, Fernanda and Pietra

 

[jmet]

Thanks for the warm greeting Marcelo - I have read all the previous posts (and looked at all the great pictures too) and your daughter is adorable! You are right the kids are going to have so much fun playing together - which can only mean more fun for us adults too! A "win win" all the way around if you ask me!

It's fun to actually have a reason to look FORWARD to January for a change LOL!!

Jamie,
Hi. Thought I'd let you know the Disney Store has an extra 30% off summer clearance in case you want to do some pre cruise shopping for your boys. I got the kids lots of stuff last night.
Michele

Hi Michele ~
Thanks for the heads up about the great sale - too bad I totally missed it! I have been busy with DS13 b-day stuff, a family camping trip, and all the other typical "stuff" - and forgot all about checking the meets boards! I am still thinking I might run over to the Disney Store this weekend and check it out - haven't been there in weeks (and I live about 5 minutes from Mall of America) - I could use a "fix" about now!
Jamie

 

[we6clarks]

Hi Jamie,
I hope Jacob had a happy birthday!! Good luck with the shopping. Maybe the sales will be even better now.
Michele

 

[jmet]

Yes - Jacob had a wonderful b-day! Now it's on to Nathan's (8/3)... and then before we know what hit us the summer will be over! I did finally make it over to the Disney Store - and was shocked to find the store almost completely empty!!! I about had a stroke - but then found out they are just closing for remodeling and will re-open in Sept. Guess I'll just have to WAIT...shoot!
Jamie

 

[we6clarks]

Hi Jamie,
How was Nathan's b-day? Sorry you missed the Disney sale. Do your boys go back to school soon? Blake starts kindergarten on the 16th. Friday he goes to see his classroom and meet his teacher. Can't believe summers almost over. Talk to you soon.
Michele

 

[WeLuvDCL]

We just booked and will be joining you all! It will be me, DH, Uncle, Grandfather, Cousins and their two boys, 6 & 8.

 

[we6clarks]

Welcome aboard!!

Anyone Else On Board?

 

[jmet]

Hi Michele!
Yes, Nathan's b-day was also a great success! He starts 1st grade Sept. 1st. and it seems unbelievable that it's almost that time again!
I have been entertaining myself by trying to decide what to wear for pirate night...my DH totally surprised me and said he wants to go in full costume - that is out of character for him (to put it mildly)! SO I'll be interested to see how serious he is about that! How about you guys?

Also wanted to offer a warm WELCOME to WeLuvDCL!!

Jamie

 

[WeLuvDCL]

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

This will be our 5th Disney cruise but our first having kids along with us. Any advice you guys could give me about kids activities would be greatly appreciated. I'll pass the information along to my cousin and her two boys ar 6 & 8. Thanks!

Dawn

Well, it looks like we won't be joining you after all. My cousins did not actually book the cruise the day I did. They tried to book a few days later and the ship is almost full - not cat 10 or 11 left. There were plenty of rooms available when I checked, I think some travel agent snatched them up. So now we are going the following week 1/22. I'm so disappointed, I was finally able to get a SPH room and now I'm going to lose it! No SPH rooms left on the 1/22, no deck 5 cabins at all. If anyone booked a cat 10 and wants to change to a SPH room, I will be changing our reservation tonight. I hope you all have a WONDERful time on the cruise - please keep the ship in tip-top shape for us...

 

[jmet]

WeLuvDCL - Just wanted to say sorry to hear you won't be on our trip now afterall! Especially since it means losing your SPH room - BUMMER!!! I would be SO disappointed about that too! On the bright side I am glad to hear that you are at least still going - maybe you should just UPgrade to make up for the disappointment - ha, ha!

In any event have a great time on your trip!
Jamie
