June 3rd 07 Anyone going???

[livvysmom]

I am feeling alot better. I am actually playing with DD outside. I head back to work next week. At least I know the cruise is in the near future. I did lift some 5 pound weights tonight. Watch out, my arms may look like Madonna's by June 3rd!! I am impressed with all this Weight Watchers talk. Geez, I feel guilty eating my Burger King onion rings today.

Ok, what is up with the bed bug thing? Can you see these things? I work with kids that get head lice so this kinda makes my skin crawl a bit. Surely they will crank the heat up on the washing and drying machines before we arrive on the ship!!!

Livvysmom, we're glad you're feeling better. I can't wait to see those triceps!

LVSWL, I'm going to track down the recipe for the soup! I tend to get in ruts and eat the same stuff over and over. This might be a tasty change.

I've been reading the bed bug thread and checking out some of the links and I'm just hoping the problem isn't spreading. It doesn't seem like there's a whole lot we can do on our end.
One tip I'm going to use is that I'm not bringing my luggage in the house when we get back. I'm just going to unpack everything on our backyard deck and take it in for a good wash and then let the cases bake in the June heat for a day or two. And yes I'll pray it's not raining when we get back.

Hi everyone! We are waiting for our first cruise ever! It will be my husband, daughter (9), and me.
We made our reservations and are having dinner at Palo's on our second night and brunch on the day at sea. We are also doing the catamaran snorkeling at Nassau and the stingrays at CC.
We are so excited!!

 

[livvysmom]

Today I changed my room and upgraded from a cat. 12 to a cat. 9 oceanview. I am so excited!!!!! I am ready to start packing my bags!!!

 

[LVSWL]

livvysmom that's great news! My younger son and I are sitting here depressed because the DH and older DS left at noon for 9 days in WDW without us Our only consolation is that we will be going in just a couple of months.
Mickey Mania, I think that I am going to follow some of the advice on the bedbug thread and take very large trash bags and slide them over our suitcases when we unpack them and twisttie them tight while we are on the boat. Let me know if you can't find the recipe, I also have a good chicken and couscous with fresh mint recipe that is great for a cold salad to have for lunch on the go.

 

[livvysmom]

I like the garbage bag idea too. I may throw all of our clothes in a bag and into the suitcase. Thanks for the good idea.

I also have DD's pillowcase and a matte ready for autographing. Fun, fun!

 

[LVSWL]

58 days!!!!

Hey you guys!
I'm going on June 3rd and i'm age 13 i'm a girl...
Then i have a brother that is 16 if anyone is wondering!
So...
I hope to see yall there!

 

[LVSWL]

Welcome! I have a DS who is going to be almost 13 when we cruise and a DS who is 16. Have you cruised before?

 

[Chickadee113]

That's cool!
I can't wait...
But sadly I have never been on one before!
Have you guys been on one before?
If so do your sons like going to the Aloft?

 

[LVSWL]

Oops, sorry I've been busy for a couple of days! Yes, we have sailed once before. The guys were 9 and 13. One was just old enough for the older activites but they didn't do alot of them since the younger one couldn't participate. Now this time, the younger DS will be just a few weeks short of his 13th birthday. Not sure how that will all play out. They did have a great time before though. Are you in 7th grade or 8th grade?
We are still trying to figure out our excursions for CC and Nassau.

 

[Chickadee113]

Well I'm getting very excited!
And I'm in the 8th grade...
It wouldn't quite be fair for you 12 year old not to be able to do teen activities if he is so close to being 13.
So I hope that everything works out!
I really want to swim with dophins!
That seems like it would be SOO much fun!
What do you do when your children are gone?

 

[LVSWL]

We are thinking about the Atlantis Beach Day in Nassau and probably just renting tubes and maybe a boat in CC. We were planning to go parasailing in CC but there is a problem with the vendor and the last I heard, they aren't booking that excursion Guess we will have to try to do that in WDW.The Dolphins sound like a lot of fun. We have friends who have done that at Sea World and it was awesome!

 

[Chickadee113]

That all sounds like fun!
I'm getting really ready to go!
I hope that it's as much fun as I think that it will be!
My parents want to know what you and your husband? do when your children are gone doing other things... if they do go somewhere else?!

w/b!

 

[LVSWL]

Well, Chickadee to tell you the truth, my DH and I didn't do a lot without the kids on the last cruise. Might be different this time around, 3 years later. They did like to go play ping pong and just check out things on deck without us some and did the club a little, but we really hung out together most of the time. We haven't booked Palo or spa time for this trip, so if they go off on their own, I guess we will just have to find something to do. We went to all the shows together before, and the comedy club. And we are definitely hoping to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3 on the ship, although we will probably see it before we sail.

 

[Chickadee113]

Yea!
I hope that this is going to be as much fun as I think that it's going to be!
= o )
When does that movie come out?!
Is it this month or next month or what?
I think that my parents are getting ready cause they are tired of hanging out with me and my brother!
Cause they are getting happy that we get to stay out until 2 in the morning!
lol!

 

[Mickey Mania]

This is our first cruise on Disney and we're planning a little "adult" time. We've booked Palo (adults only restaurant) for one dinner and the day-at-sea brunch. You're parents should check it out. The food is said to be fantastic.

The Pirates movie comes out the weekend before we all head out on our cruise (May 25th). So if you don't see it at home (or even if you do) you might want to see it on the boat.

Hope to see you all on the Wonder!

 

[Chickadee113]

Well that sounds like fun!
My parents said that they might check it out... but they also said that they were perfectly fine with eating with us?!
But I think that I will wait so that I can see the movie on the boat!
Do you have any children!?
I'm a girl that's 13 (if you wanted to know)

 

[Mickey Mania]

I think it would be so cool to see the movie on the boat. We may have to wait too.

I have a son who will be on the verge of turning 11 on our cruise. I guess that means he won't be in Aloft with you, but I'm sure we will all see each other out and about. He can't wait to check out the sports court and is dieing to see the movie as well.

I'm already starting to figure out what I want to wear.

 

[Chickadee113]

Well I know that you said that you haven't been on a Disney Cruise before but have you been on any other cruises cause my mom was wanting to know what to wear when it's supposed to be dressy!
But I hope that we do see you guys on the boat...
I'm hoping that I can find some girl that is my age that i can pal around with cause I don'treally want to hang out with my brother the entire time!

I've already bought a bunch of clothes that I can wear... they are mainly just school clothes though...
I mainly just need to get a bathingsuit and then I will be ready!
