Hi All!

We're back - 2nd load of laundry is already in the washing machine - caught up on e-mail and disboards - I love living 1/2 hr from the port. I could probably have the laundry done, bags repacked and back in port in time for sail away

RCCL Voyager is a great ship - we had a great time with friends we met on our '07 Princess cruise out of Galveston. Good food, ate waayy too much. Lousy weather, it rained 6 out of the 7 days. We enjoyed sun for about 3 hours in Honduras and a sunny day at sea yesterday.

More later!

Foe the Fe I'm all for only doing one gift or gift bag. On our Christmas cruise we had goodie bags for each day of the cruise by day three I was tired of having to deliver all of those that I deliver the remaining bags all in one night. It is really helpful to know who is traveling with children or if the cabin is just adults or teens. I like to make sure their is something in the bag for everyone.

For the Illuminations dinner/dessert VIP viewing area I need a head count and ages by Monday. Space for the one night we could do it was running out. If you are going to participate in this and are staying on property you need to add our grand gatherings number to your resort reservation. So you don't have to go back and look for it the number is 824529.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I like the idea of highlighted rooms on a deck plan, especially on Deck 8. I always get a little lost up there. I had to make our own list the last time.

I thought we were going to finally get snow today, but it is going to miss us again. I don't think we are going to get any here in Maryland. Oh well....

Time to go make dips and dessert for the football party later today. My DH and DS are going to parties for the big game today. Everywhere you look in Maryland things are dressed in purple for the home team. That is kind of fun. My DD is cheering for the other team so she wasn't invited to any parties. I'd rather watch soccer, not into football at all. So, I don't know what us girls will get into.

Hope everyone is having a fun day!

Weird, everyone around here has green on!
GL and see you at the Super Bowl!!

Thx for organizing this.............I'll say, 5 of us, 52, 47, 24, 22, 19..............the only thing is, I may have to change my number of people as we get closer. There's a few things in the works. Would it be better to add later? My parents haven't bought their airfare yet, one of my girls may be in school and maybe I'll be bringing additional people. Let me know when you have a chance.

I have a question - what night is the Illumination Cruise?

Yes, IF the Illumination cruise is Friday night, we can't meet anyone - we could also come over to Saratoga and meet some of the DISers and other night, Monday-Thursday!

Joann: since we've never stayed at the GF (GF and SoG only Disney hotels we've never been at) - we must come over and see your room....yes, I just invited myself - what else is new with me?

 

[lwilliam]

I just noticed - we are down to 6 months, even.

6 months from today's date - we'll all be on the Magic, waiting to sail..

WOW!! I didn't notice that either. I must be slipping.

 

[luv2boys]

Mine shows less because I have mine showing the SECOND we leave the house to head that way!!!!!

By the way, I'm for the 1 gift and also for a Friday night Radisson meet. Can't do the parks.

From what i understood it is easy to add people to the group at a later date. Right now they are just looking for a basic head count. He told me that i would get a call about forty five days before hand to confirm everything including a head count. I was told you could add or subtract people then

Sounds great. We can coordinate when as it gets closer.

We'll be 2 adults (both 50 - at least for a few weeks more, both 51 at time of cruise) Thanks for doing this. Let me know when we should call to add to our ressie.

 

[MrsG]

Yes! 6 Months today. YIPPEE!!!!!

You may call when ever you like to add the number to your ressie as long as it is before we go. For those unable to do the illuminations dinner you cna still add the number to your ressie and get the grand gatherings button. If we all wrote disboards or something similar on it it would be a good way to locate others in the park as your going along. Of course i may be the only person in the whole world who pays any attention to what somebodies button says.

I read buttons and tee-shirts!

 

[tinkerbell_29]

Glad to know I'm not the only one my family thinks I'm weird because of this. I've even been knowing to wish perfect strangers happy b-day by name when i notice their button.
