You should read a few of the postings to get to know some of us. We are a FRIENDLY bunch and definitely not shy.

I'm sure LeiLani (DVC4US) who is busy right now will invite you to our group's meet & greet in the Roy Suite.

If your interested there is a listing of who is on what excursion. So you can see if another Dis'er will be on that excursion.

Speaking of LeiLani....

LeiLani when you get a chance (don't laugh) will you run the list again of who's on what excursion?

I'm impressed! 17 Disney Cruises! You lucky duck! If we have any questions can we come to you? (Just kidding!) We're glad you decided to chat with us.

I'm going to give you the link (I hope) that lists some information about all of us & our plans for the cruise. It's the posting @ the bottom of the page. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1071396&page=135

Welcome!!!

We're in 8532 - my daughter Lauren will be excited about having another 12 yr old on board. She's trying to figure out how to hang out at the teen club as it is.....

OK - we now know who's in the Roy and one of the Cat. 2s. That leaves the Walt and the other Cat. 2 for our celebrity guests......

How did you ever manage to do 16 cruises without hanging out at the DIS? You realize that you are now one of "those people"...... (we always got that when we had shirts on or something - along with our door decorations....)

We're from Charleston WV - soon to be Wheeling WV....

There's Frances, Lauren and me.

We look forward to meeting you along with everybody else....

I third the motion for mini teen club for 12 year olds!!!

Welcome Diane & family OhLawyr2 clan

 

[OhLawyr2]

I agree I wish they also had a in between club for the 12 year olds. They do make exceptions though I remember my daugter Olivia who is 8 now being able to go the lab instead of the club. I think she was 7 at the time and they let her go in with the 8-9. It looks like there is going to be alot of 12 year olds on this time so they should have a great time. talking on here is so exciting

Wow..17 cruises! Thats great. This is our first cruise, so you can "show us the ropes"
Well, my daughter will love having another 8 year old. My DD is in 3rd grade (just turned 9) there are a few 7-9 year olds on this board. I am sure there will be more on board, but it's nice to know in advance. Taylor gave up her party this year to go to eurodisney, so we'll be headed there afterwards.

Also, the travel channel has alot of shows about many of the places we'll be travelling. There's one called "not your average travel guide" which is quick blurbs about popular and not so well know spots to check out. Plus info on metro/bus/train systems. Check it out. I've tivo'd so much. Good thing regular tv is over!

Have a great day..again. Gotta get baking.

I, too, am new to the disboards. This will be our 5th Disney cruise, but, the first to worlds unknown. I am so glad I found the disboards as I am less anxious about everything for this cruise. There are fellow 'dissers' on almost all of our excursions and as it is only myself and my DH, I look forward to the familiarity of others. Even though we've never met, I still feel that friendships have been made. And I think it's nice to vacation with friends! Let us know what your excursions are and look forward to chatting back with you.

Vicki, how nice, you are bringing tears to my eyes. Looking forward to meeting you too.

I guess you can call me the "Queen of Blogs" I just can't get enough. Here is another Blog I found today.

http://allearsnet.com/blogs/debwills/

I am just about all packed, now I just have to pack DD. Jasmine, the passport story freaked me out too. I think I am going to sew my passports to my inside shirts too

 

[vtiffany]

Our favorite restaurant at EPCOT is Alfredo's in Italy. My DH(Tom) and I think the original restaurant is in Florence. Does anyone know for sure? We really want to dine at the original. Anyone care to join us?

[vtiffany]

I think the excitement is just getting to us. I 'teared up' watching the firewords welcoming the Magic into Barcelona. Not that I'm hormonal or anything right now Sorry Gentlemen, that's the last mention of that for me.

Later all,

Vicki

 

[taysmom]

Here's another great blog
http://icunurse-celeste-travels.blogspot.com
She had podcasts too, so if you have sound on your computer you can hear her descriptions.
Which is great.

Thanks for reposting it! Now that I'm home I can print it. Stupid question, how do you save this? I'm computer illiterate but learning. Looks like you're quite the computer guru!

It's so nice to hear from new friends on this post! We're going to be together for 11 days, so it's nice to know some people before we go. Which is... REAL SOON!

Sue-
Highlight whatever you want to save and right click. Select copy and then paste it into a word document.
For future reference. ....

I've been reading about other dissers bringing little trinkets...I thought that might be fun. Anyone interested? We could find something small that symbolizes where we are from to give to each other. A keepsake from around the world.
If your interested, post here. I'll keep a list so we know how many want to participate. 1 trinket per group, not person, lets keep the cost down.
I already have an idea for my gifts

I also noticed this. If I understand you, each person buys one gift? Everyone who posted about receiving a gift from a dis'er liked the idea. Disney Lover Linda is @ work right now but I'm sure she'll go for this idea.

Sue

 

[auntsue1]

By all records, we SHOULD receive our documents this week!

 

[OhLawyr2]

I have a question where did you get the banner the Pirates of the Mediterranean. It is really neat. Also I would love to be a part of your gift exchange. I did read about it in the past boards. I think it would be a great way to get to know everyone. As far as excursions, we are not signed up for any yet. We have been really busy the past couple of months and have not had time to sign up for any. I am hoping to get into a few, if not we will probably go thru alot of local people for tours which is what we have done in the past
