(Bump)

Just wondering if anyone else is out there...........

DisEye.....

Hope your weather is getting better. Beautiful weekend here in FL.
Did you get your "excursion planning kit" this week in the mail?

 

[tchrmom]

OK.........Time for "The March bump"

Looks like I really won't need to rush to get to my computer on April 30th and pick my excursions/Palo ressies.....as there will only be 3 families on this ship.

Well I know I haven't posted here for a while. So to update our 7/29/07 cruise. We have 2 cabins on the second floor. It will be me, DD19 and DS's girlfriend, 20 in one room and then there's DH, DS20 and DD's boyfriend, 19 in the other room.

We're going down a day early and meeting up with DH who will already be there for a conference. We'll be staying at POFQ, with breakfast ressies the morning of the cruise at Boatwright's for breakfast, ummmmmm sweet potato pancakes. The kids will probably go to a water park, DH and I will just catch up as we'll have been apart for about 10 days prior to this. Gee how'd I get the pleasure of flying down with all the kids????

Everyone wants to go to Palo for brunch, yeah right we'll see. Since we have 2 rooms we received 2 planning kits. DD took one back to college so she and her BF can look it over.

This is my family's 4th Disney cruise, but a first for the BF and GF, so this should really be fun.

We are hoping the Hercules show stays on the Wonder as it is our favorite show.

So right now we are waiting for decent airfare, and waiting til the 30th of April to make reservations for some special thing to do.

So tha's where we are for now.

Peggy Jean! Glad to see you're back!

This will be our 8th cruise......I think. We're on deck 6. I feel a little guilty NOT taking the kids on a Disney cruise.........but after all it is our 20th anniversay, and we've never been away from them for more than 2 nights. (they are 15 and 11)

DH and I will probably drive over Saturday afternoon. We are close enough to drive over the day of, but I'm a little "crazy" about being one of the first to the terminal.

You're lucky to get 2 Palo ressies! Don't think we've figured out when we want to go yet.....August 1 is our actual anniversary, but that is the last night on the ship. We've never done Palo and had to get our bags out of the cabin before. I need more time to think it through.......

I know I posted to another thread a while back about this sailing, but it looks like I'd better get going on this one. We finally finalized who's going, and are paid in full.

This cruise is DW and mine 25th wedding anniversary. Along with us will be our then 20 y.o. DS, then 14 y.o. DD, and DD's 14 y.o. friend. We're staying at VWL two nights prior to the July 29 sailing. After the cruise we're on to the BWV until the following Sunday.

It's 119 days until we're there, but who's counting?

 

[tchrmom]

DisneyBill, Welcome!!!!!

This cruise is DW and mine 25th wedding anniversary

Another Anniversary! What day is yours?

It's 119 days until we're there, but who's counting?

Yipee!!!! I didn't realize we were THAT close!

 

[Goofyzgurl]

We haven't finalized yet, but we are going for our...guess what....our anniversary !!!! Ours is on july 23, but we have to wait b/c dh's work. It'll just be us no kids. I don't know what we'll do with ourselves.

 

[DisneyBill]

DisneyBill, Welcome!!!!!





Another Anniversary! What day is yours?






Yipee!!!! I didn't realize we were THAT close!

Ours is the 31st, and that countdown is actually until we get to WDW on the 27th of July.

 

[DisEye]

Though this cruise is not specifically to celebrate our anniversary, ours is July 31st too. My family goes on vacation every year together for a week at about that time of year--Mom and Dad, my family, and my sister's and brother's families. There are 15 of us in all. We were supposed to go last year but my sister-in-law got pregnant and was too far along to go, so we changed to this year.

 

[tchrmom]

Our anniversay is August 1st!

Looks like this is THE anniversary cruise!!

I don't know what we'll do with ourselves.

Goofysgirl...........Ummm.....I can think of a couple of things you could do......

hee-hee-heee

 

[DisneyBill]

So if the math is right, the cruise is what...16 weeks from today, April 8th.

Not bad, if I only lose 3 pounds a week I'll be all set by departure date.

OK.....now you've gone and ruined all the fun!

(just kidding)

I just don't want to think about that part!

 

[tchrmom]

Ok....it's official...........DCL has my money........we're going!
(as if there was a chance I wouldn't?)

Called Disney and gave them the rest of the $$$$$$$$$$$.

Now to sit back and wait till April 30th!

 

[kpros]

DW (Shari aka spros) and DD (Staci) will be joinging you. DD is 15 and was curious if anyone else her age was going to be on the ship. This is their first mother/daughter cruise. DD is very much into animae. Let us know if there's anyone else out there intested in animae as well.

 

[XLT800]

Have not been on in a while. I thought I would jump on and help DW (tchrmom) keep her thread going.

Welcome to everyone new.

kpros......our DS 15 will be with us in spirit only. We are leaving the kids at home Not sure about any other kids.

Our neighbors are going with us and occasionally lurk, so I am trying to get them to join the DIS at least for this cruise. Come on Luis and Teresa!!!!!!!!!

Have a great day

Dave

 

[tchrmom]

Welcome spros!

Looks like you are sailing next month with a friend of ours......Legalbriefs!

Glad to have you on our cruise too!

 

[tchrmom]

No gymnastics practice tonight for DD, so we are having our DF's over to nail down our aganda, since Monday we can book our ressies

Anyone else got their Palo dates picked out?

So the 30th is the day we can book excursions, spa, etc? Guess we need to finalize plans. Hoping to get "the girls" to the Wild Side teen adventure on CC. DS and 2 friends did this before and had a great time, although they were pooped. This time we need to find DS a DGF, unless something changes between now and then.

DW doesn't want to do Palo, working on for at least a brunch. I guess we're already feeling 4 day is too short of time. We'll see........

 

[tchrmom]

I guess we're already feeling 4 day is too short of time.

I hear ya!

Dh and I were saying the other day......this is never going to be "enough".

It's bad enough that we have to go to Nassau (sp?......that looks funny)
But to only have 4 days on the ship is just wrong!

Another great weekend here in Tampa.........hope everyone else gets some sun too. I think we're planning on taking our wave runner out in the Gulf. Water temp is still too cold for me (74) but DH and DS like it. Me, I'm good with watching life go by on the beach!
Happy Friday to all!

 

[Peggy Jean]

Well we paid off the cruise about a week ago so we would be able to start booking reservations. So now we're really poor

AND I was one of those east coasters who set the alarm for 2:50am so I could get up and snag a couple Palo ressies. But it paid off, I managed to get Brunch for DD and her BF, and another one for DS and his GF. Since we've booked 2 cabins I was able to do this for both of them and at different times.

DH and I are going to try kayaking on CC, I think he's going to owe me for this one. Maybe I'll do something at the spa the next day.

Anyway we're all getting really excited and the plans are really rolling now.
