January 19,2008 / Eastern Magic / "The January Thaw Cruise"

[Gixer]

3 weeks today we will be setting sail wooo hooooo!!!!!!

We leave for WDW a week today so I am busy packing and getting organised, no chance of us recieving our cruise docs before we leave but Iv already checked in on line so should be ok! Hope we can arrange time/day for the meet/bag exchange before we leave next Saturday! How about the first sea day sometime mid morning? Not sure if we will have web access once we get to the villa so if nothing has been arranged before we leave would someone leave me a note at out cabin (8064) with when the meet is taking place? would hate to miss it!

Cant wait!!!!!!!

Good Morning!!! Only three weeks to go!!!! I am starting to pack today and have made my count down calendar.

Can I be added to the Dis Tag. I don't have a room assisgnment and they said I may not receive it until I get to the ship.

Are any of you making door magntics? I thought it sounded like fun. Are there instructions on how to make them?

 

[missyoh8]

Door magnets.....just use a word document or photo shop and then print on magnetic paper (you can buy it anywhere), this is always a great way for everyone in your party to have your door stand out for an easy find.


?????????
Where should we go to the beach in St. Maarten? Family (lmtd nudity), food & drinks, and jet skis/snorkling equipment available? Anyone with any advice?

Which was the port that we have to tender in on?

3 weeks, so much to do, so little time!

My mom is an insulin dependent diabetic and we faxed her physician signed form over a month ago. I keep looking online but her dinner hasn't changed from second dinner seating to first. Do they change it online or will it come in cruise documents?? I hope we don't have to try when we get there b/c on our last cruise we asked for first and didn't get it.

But only 3 more weeks

 

[harleys mom]

I was online and got my room assignment!!!!

 

[love2crooz]

I was online and got my room assignment!!!!

Are we looking in the right spot for our room assignment?

When we sign into the DCL sight, we are looking at our reservation details and under room it says "GTY".

Once our room is assigned, will this be the place to look?

 

[jsheridan]

You are looking in the right spot. I just got mine as well. Unfortunately, no upgrade. I paid for a 12 & got a 12. Oh well. I knew it could happen.

We will be in cabin 2515 & will have a Fish Extender! Please update that on your lists

Picked up a couple items for the swap today. Also, our Target had a bunch of kid's pirate hats, hooks, vests, and toys in their dollar bins today if anyone is looking for them...

 

[tidefan]

Add us to the DIS Tag. We are in 6131.

 

[stacieps]

Still no room assignment for us. Hopefully soon!

Amy,
We are from Jeffersonville (Southern Indiana). We are right across the Ohio river from Louisville, Kentucky. I went to Purdue though, so I am pretty familar with your neck of the woods too! The kids are big fans of the Children's museum in Indy so we have made many family trips up to there over the past few years. Can't wait to meet you guys. Our triplets will be excited to meet your triplets.
Teenie (Kristina)

 

[harleys mom]

Yes, I mean 2008.. Where has this year gone.

Teenie, unfortunaly my nieces will not be on the trip with us this time. I wish they could, but there mom wants to wait until they are a little older. We took our older niece and nephew a few years ago and they had a great time. My sister is a little over protective. May be next year. I will bring pictures thou. They are huge princess fans, so I will take lots of pictures for them. For there second birthday, I was at WDW and had a video made wishing htem a Happy Birthday from Belle. I might try that again this year.

 

[tidefan]

We bought a bunch of stuff for our bag today. Somebody's going to need a bigger suitcase to take all of this stuff back with them.

18 more days until we drive to FLA!

 

[SteftheMuz]

Don't feel bad, jsheridan! I also paid for a 12, and that's what I got! As a matter of fact, you are right across the hall from us. We are in 2011. (It's been a while since I've posted anything...I've just been lurking. It will be just my husband and me, and our 5-year old son.) This will be my first cruise, so at least I won't know what I'll be missing.

 

[jsheridan]

stefthemuz - I bet that there weren't that many groups of 2 or 3 that booked 12s. That will be fun having you across the hall as it will be me, DH & DS4! Maybe the boys will become fast friends!

 

[love2crooz]

jsheridan - I saw that you have a 4-year old. My son is quite the "social butterfly". I'm sure he'll love that your son will be right across the hall! I have my hopes up that he'll be wanting to spend lots of time in the kids club so we'll have some adult relaxation time He is so used to the boring kids clubs in Punta Cana, where there were hardly any kids. So I'm sure he'll be loving Disney's with all the kids!

We have all our plans done. We are from PA so we are flying down the day before and staying at the Best Western Cocoa Beach the night before. We are hoping for warm weather so we can can get a head-start on our beach time. I then booked a cheapy-cheapy hotel in Orlando the night we get back. If the weather is warm, maybe do a water park; if not, we plan on hitting Universal Studios. Then it's back to cold PA But we won't think of that yet!
