Hey, now we can say our cruise is "next year"!!!!!!!

 

[lwilliam]

I have a horrible cold ....why would I catch a cold, leaving 85-89 degree weather and today it is very windy and the temps are about 20! Could be a good reason?!

Oh, well, i have a regularly scheduled, yearly doctor appt. tomorrow - I'll have her check my ears, throat, etc. Hope her prescription is "go back to Florida"

Next year, The Magic...how exciting!

Tara's left for Germany!

I guess we're better than you. It's 9 with a wind chill of -1.

DS Matt doesn't want to go back to school. He has a bit of a cough and has been lobbying to stay home for the past 2 days. He's had over a week off! I'm just waiting for the call from the school nurse to come and get him.

"Starwood" - Tyler was complaining about a sore throat this morning too - waiting also for that call! He is trying to get out of his voice lessons after school - I told him to wait till last period (STUDY HALL!) to call me!!!!!!

I'm on medication - Tylenol DAYTIME sinus - if EVER you want to sleep all day long, take the DAYTIME Tylenol - I'm not kidding - knocked me out all day long. SO, my mind is not clear, let me talk to myself, ok?!

Just tried to visit my mother in the nursing home and she is also sick with the flu, the stomach kind, in fact, there is a warning sign on the door that many residents are sick....didn't take me long to get the heck out of there - don't need that too!

Glad to be home tonight....Bob has the fireplace going - watching the Disney movie Ratatouille (sp?!!!) - I saw it in the movies, he didn't - it IS good.
I'm going to now head to the sofa and read. Bob and Tyler saw two movies in Disney - National Treasure and Sweeny Todd (said it was VERY bloody)....
We don't usually attend movies in Disney, but the crowds were so bad in the parks, it was a nice break - I, of course, shopped while they went to the movies - the only place I actually LIKE to shop - Disney.

Hope it warms up for everyone.

Hey all, We have been quiet. I feel bad for all of you in the snow and ice! It is a balmy 65 here in Laredo Texas! But I don't feel toooo bad, cos we just moved back to Texas in May from ALASKA! I had enough snow in the last three years in Anchorage to last me a lifetime!
Question for you all.....I have been reading all these posts about Fish Extenders? Do we want to do this for our cruise? Kind of sounds like fun, but not sure how much trouble it is? I did find myself one on ebay this week -just in case! LOLOL
We switched our cabins from deck 7 to deck 6. I hope we didn't make a mistake! But another DISer recommended the deck 6 accessible cabins over the deck 7 ones - says they are more spacious and the verandah is bigger! Sure hope that's true! Now if I can just wait 550 days or so, give or take....Can't wait to enjoy that verandah!
In the meantime, I will have to "settle" for my upcoming trip to WDW with my DD7, best friend and her DS7! The two little ones are getting their very own trip Feb 2 - Feb 9th! Can you say SPOILED?? But these two go through so much medical stuff every year that our family's have decided they deserve a little yearly magic and pixie dust!

Yes, pretty soon we'll be at a year and a half. Let's get a consensus about the fish extenders. I didn't do it last time, but those who did really thought it was great. You just have to bring a small item to share for all who bring a fish extender. The items are dropped off anonymously. It's a fun idea. Another idea is to schedule a DISmeet early in the trip and exchange a "grab bag" from our hometowns.

I'm starting to read island travel magazines. We haven't been in the Carribean in a while.............I can't wait!

Wouldn't we have to be artsy to make these (I'm all thumbs when it comes to creating things).

We switched our cabins from deck 7 to deck 6.

We are also on deck 6 (room 6076).

I am all thumbs too! LOL The only crafty thing I do is scrapbooking and it takes me forever to get one page done! I bought my fish extender this week from ebay for $7.00! It's cute - Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. There was one for sale on there that was Mickey Mouse themed. I typed in "hanging organizer" for the search.

Our cabins are 6154 and 6147! We are aft, at the very back of the ship!

Greetings All,

I am just returning today from the NYE Cruise. Yes, as always it is a let down to be home. But despite the weather, it was wonderful. The first three days were great!! Above avg. temps. all the way through to the 1st of Jan. then the tides, or should I say waves turned!! After the Caymans it all changed. It wasn't so bad when the seas were at 15 feet or as it approached 20 ft. But when we hit Gale Force winds and seas at 30Ft. it was a different story. It was like this the entire time until we reached Castaway Cay. Cozumel excursions were all cancelled and the walk across to the shops was an excursion in itself. But since my goal was to just crash and relax, I accomplished that.

Castaway Cay was not like I remembered it. We could have made sandmen, that would have rivaled Frosty. It was cold, breezy and showers of and on. But many braved the weather. Those that came from climates colder and snower were just happy they were not at home.

I booked this cruise while on board and announced to the family on the way home, needless to say, they excited about another cruise and disappointed that it wasn't sooner. I have looked for one later in the summer, but with 2 adults and 4 kids and other trips already planned, I just can't make myself pay the same amount for a 4 day doubledip at CC as the 7 night I just booked even with my travel agent discount.

Our Disboard group was good for this trip. We did FE and the kids really enjoyed it. One family in our group had the Walt Suite and had everyone up on New Years Day, which was really nice. If I can get pictures uploaded I will post the doors and FE's.

At the date of this cruise there will be 5 maybe 6 in our group. My DS will be in college and I am not sure of his plans yet. Myself, DH, DD (17), DD (9), DS(8) and if DS comes he will be (19).

Yes, I am as obsessed as the rest of you, and together we will treat our OCD with Disney Cruising together. I llok forward to chatting with you all in the coming months, as we count down to the Cruise to Tortola.
