Hi everyone! Just found you all!
You can add our family to the list of cruisers!
This will be our second Disney Cruise - just got back from a three day Wonder and we are officially hooked!
It will be (at time of sailing)
myself (49)
DH (50)
DD (16) Just add her to the list of beautiful daughters LOL
DD (8)
DS (7)
and DD (3)
We will be in two handicapped accessible cabins on Deck 7 (two DC in wheelchairs so we are hard to miss!) and have the Late Dinner Seating.

We had main seating on the Wonder and found that the kids wanted to be in the kids club anyway and so no need to eat so early!

Hope to get to know you all in the next year and half before the cruise!

Welcome Angela!!!!

With all the rotten weather we've had up north (right Lucy ), I'm getting more and more anxious for palm trees. In 2008 were doing an Adventures by Disney for the first time - Quest for the West. The Carribbean will be a nice change for 09.

JoAnn, you're in Miami? I am slightly jealous, but I know it will be difficult to say goodbye to your daughter. Just think, you'll be visiting her in Germany before you know it.

Jingle Bells to all.

Lucy here - the talker (NOT stalker, people! )

Starwood: thank you so much for the ongoing list and that you found it NOT necessary to list the adult ages, only the children's ages

I've made it up the driveway, FINALLY, this evening, only stuck 3 times today Florida is looking REAL GOOD next week...
My son can't get his car out of the ice and must go to work tomorrow....guess who will be giving up HER car and be the one to be inconvenienced tomorrow! WHO spoiled these children!

The high school had a two hour delay - probably NOT tomorrow - my 15 yr. old believes if he doesn't do his homework, they won't have school! DUH!

Welcome Angela...another beautiful girl for my son (MAN, if he knew I was writing this!.....it wouldn't be good )

 

[jlawall]

as Lucy is STUCK in her driveway (half in driveway, half on road) - don't even ask what kind of mood I am in right now and how wish I was anywhere but here!

Lucy will be in WDW next week, who's jealous???

Lucy

Being that I am only 29 years old I thought it best not to list the adult ages.

At least it is supposed to be 40 here tomorrow so maybe some of the ice will melt a little.

Today I have to take DM to the doctor for her blood work. I still need to find time to bake cookies (yes it's pillsbury). And I want to make some brownies for DS's Christmas get together with his friends. Only 3 more full days of school and Friday is a 1/2 day.

 

[noahsmom]

Welcome to our group/cruise Mason7AK! DCL is very addictive!

Maryann, I can't wait to hear about your Adventures by Disney trip. This is something we've been pondering.

We are actually going to be above freezing today for the 1st time this month! Maybe some of this snow will melt. We were only supposed to get a dusting last Saturday - turned into 4 inches. They are calling for another storm this weekend, freezing rain turning to snow. I don't mind the snow but the other stuff can go away!!

I am officially ready for Christmas. Thankfully DS still believes , he's 10 so I'm sure it won't be much longer. He is going to get a new bike which should be a big surprise since he's not thinking "bike"!

 

[lwilliam]

Starwood: I'm NOT 29!
Thank goodness only JoAnn knows how old I am - I'm sure she will 'give' ONE DAY!

Tyler has school thru Friday, the whole day.
I substituted at an elementary school today - clerical - and tomorrow and Thursday.....The elementary school I must also do cafeteria monitor and nurse! Yikes .....these 4th and 5th grade boys REALLY try to 'work' me! I threatened them that I would sit them with the girls at lunch if they didn't behave - got 'em quiet for at least one minute!

Our weather is STILL cold, but I managed to drive up the driveway without getting stuck!
I am crossing my fingers for nice weather out of Philadelphia on Monday morning...I want NO delays getting to WDW!
Lucy will be cold until July!

 

[noahsmom]

I'm 29. Have been for almost 20 years!

 

[starwood]

So we are agreed - we're all 29!

Someday

 

[lwilliam]

in Disney at Christmas.
We've been there before and just LOVE the decorations....you can't possibly do many rides, but at that time of year, it is about the beautiful surroundings, and, the Candlelight Processional - gives me goosebumps everytime. Gary Sinese will do the commentary at the Processional - we will be there Christmas Night. (AFTER having dinner at LeCellier )
We are very lucky to be going, since Bob works retail, JCPenney, and to get off this time of year is a miracle
The first two nights we are at Coronado Springs and then move over to Saratoga..

JoAnn...you are just TOO cute!
