[Andrew DEREK UK]

too late?

Congrats on the mini

 

[kyla]

A big welcome to you. We are also in a cat. 8, early seating, celebrating 25 years also and have a 14 yr. old daughter (also two sons )

Did you just book your cruise?

Glad you found us.

Kyla - where are you?

I'm here. Busy, busy, busy. Trying to catchup when I can.

 

[kyla]

Since there are so many starbucks drinkers....let's share drinks and see if any of us drink the same thing.

Venti, Sugar-free vanilla, skim, extra hot, no foam latte!!

I like it straight. Just black coffee. Love Starbucks!

The site went down last night while I was trying to post this (so, I'm even further behind!):

Hi everyone,

Checking in. I think I have to start way back at page 507 in order to catch up on everything that's been going on. I've snuck in a peek now & then from work, but didn't really have time to post.

I thought I would post a summary of the people who've registered on this thread (even though Andrew has the info on the first page). So far, I have 258 people listed. I know that there are some Dreams clients on this cruise that aren't a part of this thread, so there are even more associated with the DIS/Dreams than we know about. Having said that, I'm going to name the people who've participated some on this thread, and given us details, and then the others who have briefly let us know they are coming (and are probably lurking right now :

Great picture

 

[kyla]

Ok here's a question? How many of us have started to pack?
I just thought - uh oh! Maybe I should start. These suitcases I bought today really put things into perspective for me.

I started 2 months ago. I decided to get those organizer things for your clothes including the ones that suck all the air out and flatten everything. Making a big pile in the spare bedroom.

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Ok, Ok, I'll pledge to "always have a roll" in my bag! My new pirate name? "Captain Provider!"

I will take six!!! if your taking orders

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

But now I'm not alone !!!!

Congrats on mini

 

[kyla]

New posters to this thread:
Please let me know if you want lanyards ASAP. I might be able to have the vendor add some more one if you let me know now. I only have 5 lanyards left and it sounds like those are taken. Follow the link below for more detailed information and pm me if you can or have a regular poster on this thread pm me for you if you do not have access to private messages yet.

What does everyone, think, should I go ahead and add some more lanyards on?

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Ok - Here is one .. its a year old, and I have clothes on!!!!! :I will get another soon- I must get ready for work now!! Bye!!

Now I really know who to look for!! Great picture!

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Morning everyone!

I was having a nice dream about the cruise (been happening a lot lately) and woke up at 4am -- My first thought -- Gee, I'd better get caught up on the thread! . So, I'm listening to the DIS Anniversary podcast and trying to catch up. (I'm on page 516 now)... I'll be falling asleep at work this afternoon. lol


I printed them all out - thank you.




Congratulations (again)


Um, no, but my mind is geared to what I need to take. I've already started to buy outfits for Kelly (I'll worry about me later).


Tracy was interviewed on the DIS Podcast, and she said that they acknowledged the DIS on the cruise and there was loud applause. That would be so cool if that happened on our cruise.

Okay, off to read more.

Racheal the CD of the Magic ( often and on my Repo cruise in 2005) spoke of the DIS on many of the events sailaway and first night welcome in the Walt Disney T, and Casterway club and obtained a mighty response. Bruce in 2006 didnt say much, I do not think he is still with DCL, and the first Med trips have Racheal ( From the UK)

 

[lovebeast]

kyls, i just sent you a pm.

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Hi all - we are looking forward to joining the Med cruise on July 28th.

Brief introduction:
Our names are Mark & Heidi Smithson and we hail from the northern burbs of Chicago. Our daughters (7 & 9) will be with us. We booked this trip about a year ago. We have a cat 8 room on deck 5 (5516), right near the relevant kids' clubs. This is the 2nd sailing on the Magic for the 4 of us. Our 1st trip was during Christmas 2005 (a last-minute decision, when our planned vacation to a resort in Mexico was disrupted by hurricane damage). We had a wonderful experience on our cruise, vowing to return.

Pre-trip, we'll be spending a few nights in Seville, Spain (visiting Heidi's host family from when she studied there during college), then a night in Barcelona. Post-trip, we're spending a night in London.

We're in the process of planning non-Disney excursions. It's quite an undertaking. Fortunately, the wealth of knowledge on this board makes it easier. So thank you!

WELCOME WELCOME

Lots of information on page 1 post 10.

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Hi again Everyone! I know I havent posted much since I joined...I'm always on the wedding boards Anyways I just wanted to say hi and post a picture of my mom and I.

Mom(Carol) and me (Marcy)

Please feel free to say hi if you recognize us on the ship. We are so excited for our 1st Disney cruise! Cant wait to meet you all and have some fun!

More great looking beautiful ladies!!!

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Ok, trying to do this picture thing - thank you to Maryann for the directions:

This is my family at the gates to Yellowstone.

And here is one of just my kids. The DS on the left is Andy. He will be 14 in October. He is now 5'5". A good 3 1/2" taller than dear mom. DD will be 16 next week And other DS will be 13 in October.

Great photos, I have been there

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

strange but true

Yes why???

Thanks for doing this -

I was wondering Mary JO / Andrew would it be possible to put our pics on the first page of the thread???

I had the same thought there is a limit of 25 pictures per post, I think we can do it, its easy to find that way.

I would have to chop the Port pictures or post on post 12.

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Back later!

Lanyard Status 6/14:
Order is Made!
Yesterday, I approved the digital image from the vendor and so they are in the process of making the lanyards as we speak! With the extra bucks that people included in their payment and I forked out a bit, I bought 9 extra lanyards with reels. I did order some extra badge reels just in case some show up dead on arrival or someone changes their mind and want one. ETA: 5 lanyards are left plus I have a request from outside of the group for 2 of the 5 left, but priority is going to you guys.
Disneylover is making name cards for the lanyards, so please contact her to let her know what name to print.

ORDER INFORMATION:
Design E is the lanyard chosen by our DIS group (see below)
Cost will be $2.63 per lanyard which includes a badge holder
Add $1 for each reel. Let me know if you want black or red reels. If you don't say, it will be black.
Total for a lanyard with reel is $3.63.
Here is what the badge holder looks like: http://www.kennyproducts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=KPI&Product_Code=370
Here are the badge reels. I'll be ordering either black or translucent red (let me know your choice) http://www.kennyproducts.com/Mercha...en=PROD&Store_Code=KPI&Product_Code=425-blank

PICKUP INFORMATION
I will be at the Barcelona port terminal for checkin at noon on the 28th, so please look for me there or if you see the lanyard around somone's neck, ask where they got it and you'll find me. I also will bring lanyards to the DIS meets - whatever is planned and whoever is staying at the Grand Marina, just look me up, I'm there.
