[kidcoos3]

Gosh, I'm such a loser, I can't believe I even did that . . .
I need to get a life and some sleep - I thought there was a sleepy smiley - but I can't find it!

 

[kidcoos3]

Ok, now I'm really feeling bad - no one is even around
Hello out there? Is it too late for the US and too early for those across the "pond"?
Oh well, I'll check in tomorrow am - Good night all!

We're on the 11-night Med Cruise sailing on the 28th July 2007 and also on the Trans-Atlantic Westbound Repo Cruise sailing on the 18th August 2007. Followed by the DVC S.S. Member Cruise 2007 sailing on the 21st October 2007.

Booked today and added the 10-night Med Cruise sailing of 8th August 2007 in a Cat 5 Guaranteed (waitlisted for a Cat 3) to our existing cruise bookings for summer 2007 .....
We're on the 11-night Med Cruise sailing on the 28th July 2007 in a Cat 3 (celebrating DD's 21st Birthday aboard) and also on the Trans-Atlantic Westbound Repo Cruise sailing on the 18th August 2007 in a Cat 3 (celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary aboard).
We were planning on spending the 10 night's between the two cruises in Barcelona but decided to stay onboard and use the 10-night cruise to celebrate our DD's July College Graduation (UK University).
DCL was amazed and said it's a record - we will be aboard the Disney Magic for 35 consecutive days (28th July to 1st September 2007)!!!
We are soooo excited

Like many, I've taken advantage of the downgrade option to join the group in the category 12 GTY cabin:

Category 12 Inside Stateroom

• Stateroom Category: GTY
• Sleeps: 300 or 400
• Room Configuration: Godzilla-size bed or 100 twin beds, single convertible sofa, 3 level wall pull-down bed (if sleeping 400), bath with moat and sprinkler system.
• View: Image of Portholes painted onto the wall
• Amenities: Remote-control color TV, sample closet space, cooling box, in-room vault, hair dryer, phone with voice-mail messaging and group climate control

Discover a room where "standard" is out of the ordinary. Take advantage of substantially more space than you'd find on most other cruise ships — along with the exclusive Disney-designed furnishings and appointments available in all our staterooms and our world-class service. Delight in your vacation dreams coming true in this charming stateroom along with several hundred of your closest friends.

Can someone please let me know how to post a picture? It may even help you get your post count up!

Isn't this fun!!!!

Anna,
I for one think it's a very nice picture.

Thank you.

I don't thing DD will be helping me post anything on this board. She is not very happy about us going on this cruise without her! She doesn't want to hear ANYTHING about it. She particularly doesn't like the
DISBoard because the more I go on and find out the more I talk about it and the more guilt she tries to heap on us.

I know exactly what you mean about them not helping out - yet, my kids are goind and they always seem to have an excuse - BUT when they want something - it needs your attention yesterday. Hang in there.

Hey,
Does the number in the blue line on top of each post have something to do with being a pirate? I'm still new at this but I might just be catching on.
Just what my family needs is for me to get into a competition on the DISboard. They already think I've deserted them.

I am coming to the same conclusion.

 

[AnnaS]

Okay everybody!! We have AIR!!!

I booked Air France tonight though Paris!! I am much happier now!!

Great news! One less thing to worry about now (again )

I know ... also it's not everyday or every year that one family would celebrate so much all at once - so we decided to really make it something to rememeber.
We're flying to Barcelona on July 26th arriving July 27th, pre-cruise night in Barcelona. Embarking on the 11-night sailing of July 28th and disembarking from the 14-night Transatlantic Westbound on Sept 1st in Port Canaveral.
Will post excursions as soon as I have made some changes - since booking the 10-night I'm looking to see what's still available and maybe move some of the 11-night excursions to the 10-night cruise and spread them out over the 2 Med cruises.
