January 24, 2004 Cruisers - Are you out there???

[TiggerPU88]

Hooray!

We're still in 7120, which is what we wanted.

I ordered a great basket for DS from Shirley and am thinking of one for my Mom's birthday, too.

Are we there yet???

[Cruisin' Krause's]

We are a family of 4 (I'm not entirely familiar with then nomenclature - me, one DW, one each DD and DS), going on the eastern on the 24th of January, 2nd cruise on Disney for all.

We, rather unexpectedly, received upgrade from Cat 8 to % (deck 7, same as before), and are really looking forward to the trip now that it's cold again (southern Ontario high -12 Celcius today).

Will watch for the green of the board, but will now have to find something green for us to carry!

Good trips to all - hope the weather holds for us.

Cheers.

Richard and family.

 

[DBMagic]

Cruisin' Krause's - Welcome aboard. We too are on deck 7 and received and upgrade from cat 8 to cat 5. How old are your children? There are a group of boys and girls that are emailing each other to get aquainted before meeting on the ship.


Happy Sailing!!!!!!!

 

[Cruisin' Krause's]

DBMagic - our kids are 5 and 3 - both looking forward to kids' activities - daughter remembers almost everything from last time - Pluto party and pajama parties.

Still a little too young to be corresponding via e-mail - thanks for the offer.

See you all there.

I am in the process of arranging refreshments for our upcoming DISMeet.

It would be greatly appreciated for those that have loved ones celebrating a Birthday, Anniversary, etc., to please e-mail me at jkocur1521@rogers.com so that I can include said loved one's name on the cake! Don't want anyone feeling left out!

Let's make is a "Family Affair!"

I can't believe it's almost time!

HI!!! OLIVIA IS DOING GOOD...THANKS FOR ASKING!!SHE WILL DEFINATELY BE FINE BY THE 21 ST. CAN YOU BELIEVE WE HAVE 2 WEEKS LEFT????
CAN ANYONE TELL ME SHIRLY'S WEB SITE FOR A BASKET? I DIDNT CARE FOR ANY FROM DCL--WAY OVERPRICED AND NOT A GOOD SELECTION
WE ARE ALL STILL ON FOR 330 SUNDAY, PROMENADE LOUNGE?I AM TRYING TO CATCH UP HERE......

 

[QueenTrident]

Maria - Glad Olivia is feeling better! Great news!

Well, the wind chill temperature in NJ today is 3 degrees. I officially don't care how we get to St. Thomas. Can I go now and just meet y'all there?

 

[dancermom]

mariamard: glad to hear Olivia is doing better. Shirley's website is
www.theperfectgift.cc I spoke to her over the weekend, she is so nice. She is supposed to call me this week with gift basket ideas for the girls. I think I'll have her do one for the DH as well.

Queen Trident - I know how you feel about the weather. We are near zero with wind chill factors below zero. I don't care if I have to swim from the ship to the island at this point.

It seems my countdown clock was just in the 60's, and now we are in the teen's, I'm starting to panic.

[minniesota]

Hey Jamie!
Would you mind letting us know what Shirley suggests? I talked to someone there this a.m. and would like some more ideas/input, especially for DD! That pre-teen can sometimes be a little tricky to please

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

I'm so excited. Shirley is going to make DH a Beers Around the World basket and for the boys a basket with stuffed mickeys, candy, toys, glow in the dark necklaces and bubbles for the sail away. She is great to work with! I can't wait to see them!
Karen

 

[Scratch42]

I've decided no basket but going fishing instead!

I'll let her pick up stuff when we go shopping in Orlando on the 23rd!

Today it looks real nice outstide but with the wind chill it's

-25 deg celcius! I just know it's COLD!

Ok gals, so we are having a swimming marathon to get to St. Thomas!LOL Last one to shore has to buy the drinks!

Hoping we get +25 celcius for our trip! (translation 80 degs plus!)

Is it January 23rd Yet!?!

[dancermom]

minniesota - I just got off the phone with Shirley's niece, and she is doing a pre-teen basket for Sarah with Soda, Snacks, a beach towel and sunglasses. I think this will make her happy, Gracie is getting the sand toys, with swim goggles and swim fins and also a towel like her sister. I too buzzboymoms lead and ordered DH the beers around the world basket.

 

[BuzzBoyMom]

Hey all - I just have to share....DS came home last night showing me all the Disney cuise pictures he drew in school. I was sitting here today looking at them and realized that he has this squiggly line that is supposed to be the slide going into the pool. The more I look at the detail, the more I just get so excited. Anyway, thanks for letting me share. Karen

 

[mariamard]

BUZZBOYMOM--THATS SO CUTE.....WHEN YOU GET BACK, CUT OUT A PICTURE OF HIM GOING DOWN THE SLIDE AND PSTE IT TO THE DRAWING.

It's way to cold here in NVA!!!! My sister leaves tomorrow for her family's first trip to WDW (couldn't get her to cruise instead) I'm jealous she'll be warm!

disneylover5 I work in Reston and am insufferable to my co-workers they took off for Christmas but I'm now reminding them no meetings for me after the 22nd!

Hilary is e-mailing the girls she and Erica can't wait to have new friends.

Now I REALLY need to think about clothes my list is up to 7 pairs of shoes DH is not amused

We will be the family with WAY too much luggage

 

[Scratch42]

I hope you have not had the pillowcases done yet.

You're going on the MAGIC this year! not the Wonder! That was last year.

We're almost there!

[disneylover5]

jensensva,

That is so funny about work!! I loved working during Christmas...NO ONE was there....just me and my secretary!! We had a wonderful time. I already have turned down three meetings too as "I will be out of town". It is wonderful.
I work for Corporate Express and I am in Reston a lot. I spend time in the Oracle Buildings. Where do you work...I still would love to have coffee sometime....maybe even bring the girls!

scratch, I have done that a lot...mixing up the Wonder and Magic. Old age I guess.....I did not do the pillowcases yet....but I am going to do something....

Anyone decide if they want to send their husband or son golfing with DH DS14, DS14?

DS14 and DS15 will be going fishing at Castaway Cay as well...anyone doing that?

When I woke up DS14 yesterday....5:30am (high school starts early around here) he said "Can we go on the cruise today?" My feelings exactly...It is so COLD!!

 

[Scratch42]

Lisa - It looks like I and DD will be joining your son's fishing at CC!

Everytime Tanya sees the "Guy with the Fish", she asks where did he catch that, I want to try to catch that! So I just booked it yesterday! I'll keep on eye on them so that they don't get pulled over by the sharks!

I went last night to check out Disney Pillowcases but nothing that really caught my eye. Still have a few days left!

I still have not decided on what to wear for Formal Night! I guess I better hurry up about that decision!

TTFN

[disneylover5]

scratch,

I may be fishing too...have not decided. There is a good thread on this...did you see it about sharks???

For formal night, there are some very cute dresses on Talbots.com. Not too $$$$$$$...I ordered a 10 and it came yesterday...but think I need a 12...I hope the store has it. I guess I can re-order as it only took a few days to come.
