[the4nitz's]

BuzzBoyMom have you looked on ebay for water shoes. I called Disney & got our confirmation# yesterday so we are ready to book our excursions on Tuesday. We are supposed to get snow tomorrow. I guess winter is here, can't wait for the crusie.

 

[tinkerbell4]

This is our 1st cruise! Daughter 13, Son 9 anyone else have
kids these ages?

 

[DBMagic]

Welcome aboard.

If you look upwards on this page you'll see that BuzzBoyMom has a list of everyone's info.

Hey Tinkerbell4- Welcome aboard! We have a 12 1/2 year old DD and our DS will turn 10 in December. Glad to see a boy around his age on board.

 

[TheGlensideGregorys]

Glad to have you on board! By the way, you'll see that there are a lot of PA folks on this cruise! When are you going down - and if you're going down before the cruise, where are you staying?

 

[tinkerbell4]

Hi,
I'm so new and inexperienced at this please bear with me!
We are leaving on the 23rd and staying overnight at the
Radisson. Thanks for contacting me!

 

[Scratch42]

Tinkerbell, no need to frett, we are here to help in any way, shape or form!

Most of us are new to the 7 day cruise and this is the best way to find out everything that you need to know! So feel free to ask away!

BTW, to save you some reading time

DISMeet, Sunday, January 25, 2004 at the Promenade Lounge @3:30 p.m. It's also a surprise for DD who will be turning 12 just to let her know that her mom still can "Pull a Mickey out of her sleeves!"

Do you know which cabin you have?

Is it January yet? 'Cause it sure feels like it! Yesterday it was 64, today feels like -64! UGH!

Hi everyone. Don't forget you can start booking your excursions tomorrow morning .

Scratch its almost January, but not quite. We have 61 days until we are on the ship.

Hi tinkerbell4. Welcome to our sailing.

[QueenTrident]

Hi Tinkebell4! Welcome! I'm a DCL newbie too. We can learn together!

Minybear - Thanks for the reminder. Now I need to remember tomorrow morning!

Scratch - Didn't know about the Dismeet! Thanks for reposting it (I must have missed it in the numerous pages!)

Well, I should head to bed. It's after 1:00 a.m. and I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow. I just keep thinking about this cruise and I get so excited, I can't sleep! I actually dreamed yesterday that we were upgraded to a Cat 7, with a verandah. I was in heaven, until I woke up!

Good night, all.

Which means only 60 DAYS OUT! Which means closer to January!

Hey Scratch 42, you're up early! I've been awake since 4:30 - still wondering what to do about excursions today. Since I can't ask the kids, I'm sort of ata loss as what to book. What are you planning? Also, can you make more than one ressie for the same day/timeframe and then drop one later? I'm not sure about the dolphin encounter - the kids would think it's cool sounding, but it's kind of pricey and I have read some very lukewarm reviews. What else would be fun for DD-12 and DS-10??? Is it cold in Toronto? Man, we had a dump of snow this weekend and the wind chills are way below zero this week! Only 60 days!!!

 

[Minybear]

Scratch you are up early. You have something to do this morning?

My fax is all ready and as soon as I get to work ( 1hr and 15 min) I will immediately fax my excursion request form. I would call but I hate to be on the phone. I guess I am ready.

Ok 60 days until our cruise.

Minybear

 

[QueenTrident]

Twenty-five minutes til excursion time!

I had another night of not sleeping because I kep having nightmares of missing the ship, forgetting to set up spa reservations and not knowing the difference between aft and forward.

I'm weird, I know. But, I'm going to need a vacation from this vacation planning soon. Say, maybe in 60 days?

Hope you all get what you want today!

 

[the4nitz's]

Morning everyone. I am all set to fax in the excursion sheet as soon as I get to work in 1 hour. It is cold here, light dusting of snow only, but cold temps & wind. Because our 2 DD our small we are limited what excursions we can do. I wish it was January all ready.

 

[TheGlensideGregorys]

Well, while we are probably more inclined to "make our own way" on the islands, DW will be celebrating her B-Day at sea (1/28). Soooo... I did book the Anguilla Dolphin Encounter for her just now. Very nice folks over there, answered any questions I had! I'm sure we may look over some activities for St. Thomas, or maybe even in St. Martin for DS and I. But at least DW is booked for her suprise Dolphin Encounter. How about the rest of you -- what are you looking at? Karen -- are you folks doing anything (keeping in mind the kids)? With Connor in mind, it's tough to find something that he is eligible for, or would enjoy!

 

[DBMagic]

We just received our fax confirmation for the Dolphin Encounter for the entire family and DD(10) and I are going parasailing on CC. WoooHoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!


Now I'm REALLY excited

 

[DBMagic]

DancerMom - What time are you and Sarah going to parasail? We're scheduled at 10:30 am.

 

[dancermom]

Sarah and I are confirmed parasailing at 10:30!!!!!!! I needed that we had our first inch of snow last night and it is cold today. So much for the 60's we had over the weekend.

Also got Sarah a long black velvet dress at the American Girl Store, and we also got the mathching doll dress. At least one family member will have clothes on.

Is it January yet???????

 

[dancermom]

DBMagic - Sarah will be totally psyched that Desiree is parasailing at the same time.

Let Desiree know that our new PC has shipped and Sarah will be up and running by Thanksgiving. Our cable modem is starting to cost me a lot.

 

[tinkerbell4]

Ok, I'm worried. Everyone is scheduling their excersions.
We have not yet received our info. from our travel agent,
although she says it's coming. What are the best things to
do? I do know what is available. My DD is 13 and will want
to do everything and my DS is 9, and DH will do whatever. DD and DS do not know about
this cruise, and I'm dying to tell them. Any suggestions on how
to do this in a special way? Maybe at Christmas?
