June 16, 2007 MedHead Cruisers

[Skallywag]

We are booked also in category 5 and really looking forward to a cruise and not having jet lag afterwards.

We own at OKW also.

 

[windermerejudy]

Welcome Brenda! This will be your first Disney cruise? Wow what a way to start! You will love it.

Teresa--Lampy has backed out on us but Kelli and Willie are on. I love to give Willie a hard time. He returns the favor. They sound fun. He has designated himself drink of the day judge and ambassador. You know we Texans have to stick together. NOONE ELSE UNDERSTANDS WHY TEXAS IS THE BEST. LOL

You guys ---I am not making very good progress at packing. You know how it goes---gotta get the laundry done before I can pack.

Brenda--only 2 more posts to put you over the 500 mark!! Who are you traveling with?

Just a quick good morning all!

 

[DVC4US]

Did that so I could grab a T.O.P.!!!!!

 

[DVC4US]

Okay, now on to the business of the day.

Welcome Aboard Brenda!!!!


Judy - yes they brought out the non-refundable deposits on the suites because people were booking them and then cancelling at the last minute. It makes it a little tougher to plan so far out but I guess I can understand.

I'm thinking it's going to be a tough flight on my 10yo(will be 11yo then) so I am sure it will be harder on a young one. But I am sure they will do better than us. I know my DH and I flew to Hawaii several years ago and it took me a couple of days just to recover.

 

[windermerejudy]

Between the portable DVD and PSP they have more entertainment than us. I have soduku and reading. (Oh yeah and the biggest job of all----entertaining my DD) I wonder if the younger kids club will be emptier than usual due to the long flight.

My son's teacher grew up in Italy and her family is still there. I think I will have to have her educate me some.

I heard a rumor that there was a poster here named Silver7, and I had to drop by and say a big hello to my buddy!

Hi Teresa!

We missed you on the TurkeyDay 2005 sailing!


FYI- Teresa is the person who I first heard of regarding the drink of the day contest. You guys better watch out sailing with her and Mark. Those Texas chicks can drink most men under the table.

Willie

Willie-- I am so glad Teresa trained you right. Personally I do not know if I could try some of those melon liquer things they create (Blue food dye doesn't do it for me) I'll stick to my Baileys Coladas and Bahama Mamas. Can we create our own DOD instead of DCL's?

 

[4kidsandadog]

It's not definite yet, but we have a hold on 2 category 5s for our family of 6. We really wanted a cat 2 so we could all be in one cabin, but it was not to be. We loved our cat. 2 last September. Part of me wants to just do a different cruise and wait until we could get a suite, but my 14yo really wants to do this Med. cruise.

So, if hubby decides to do this (our quote for the 6 of us in 2 cat 5s was a bit over $23K), there will be me (turning 43 on that cruise), hubby (42), a 15yo daughter, 11yo son, 8yo daughter, and 6yo son.

We'll know for sure tomorrow.

HEY WILLIE!!!

Come ON! Be a MEDERATEXAN with us!!!

Think of all the European beers you would have access to!!

OH MY--maybe more YMCA?? Where are the 5J's??

 

[windermerejudy]

Ok --how about some slogans for our cruise..............

A "PISA" the mediterranean!

Anyone creative enough to be able to incorporate Disney. Any creative minds??? ANYONE?????

Kelli and Hayley would love the Med. But I am such a red neck that I would not be a happy camper in over there. All I want is a beach and a beer on my vacations.
I am gonna dig up a great pic of Mark here somewhere......

[WMILLER86]

Teresa, do you recognize any of these outlaws?

 

[silver7]

A Pisa the Med --Good one Judy!

Anyone else? What are some catch phrases?

Pompeii
Pisa


WILLIE--you can stay on the boat GUARDING the beer, and Kelli and the girls can come with us!

 

[windermerejudy]

Teresa where are you and Mark in the picture? Willie leaves us hanging.......

Willie there are plenty of beaches in the mediterranean and they are clothing optional I bet.. Besides , how out of place can you be with all of us?????

 

[silver7]

Ok we are the blondes in front of Willie and Kelli --I have a white shirt on. Mark has a striped shirt.

Ahh Turkey Day 04--Good times, good times

OK pics of the rest of you

 

[JulieWent]

Hey All! I found you Judy! We're all booked for the 6/16 cruise -- category 6, got pretty close to the cabin I asked for, even!

It will be my DH (47), me(45), and DS(11 then). I'm so glad to see everyone going. I've been on one other DCL, and there were NO Dis'ers on board that I could see or contact on the boards.

Glad to see some Texans. We're no longer there, but we spent a good long time in Austin, and we still love it.

There was some discussion of flights. We've been looking and seen that flights to London are SOOOO much cheaper, with flights from London to Barcelona being very inexpensive. We might spend a night in London on the way over, and then spend a week or so in the UK on the way back. That way we can take advantage of those lower fares. It's an idea.

Can you imagine how long this board will be in a year?

Hi Julie!

What a good idea. . . VERY tempted to do the UK thing--
