LAST CALL for the 10/18/03 Eastern Magic Cruise!

[Disneyana]

I told you guys that this was the week for docs!!!! So glad to hear that you all have yours now.

Started packing here and there the past week for my DH and myself. My DD was packed back in May (I was just too excited). Her birthday was in May, so all of the new clothes she got, I immediately packed so that way she would some nice clothes to wear. I guess it really didn't matter, seeing as how she is three and dirt somehow manages to find its way to her clothes . . .

Again, the days just seem to go by S-L-O-W. Maybe I am focusing too much on the cruise and not enough on the things that need to get done here. Oh well.


I'm ready now . . . .


Oh -- And Happy Birthday Kamy!

 

[BeanoC]

Sounds like everyone has their docs, finally.
I just wish concierge would call me so I can order stuff for our DIS party!

We leave in 2 weeks and 2 days. Truthfully, it's been hard for me lately to get in the mood to cruise, but if I survive this week and next at work, believe me... I will be running for the airport screaming "get me to the ship!!"

I have managed to get most of my camera gear ready to go. I will finish up with that this weekend, I hope. The "Cruise Movie" DVD's will be fun this year! Has everyone memorized their lines? Filming begins at the port!!

"And the Academy Award for best vacation video goes to... the 10/18 DIS group! Directed by Beano" LOL

Beano - Sorry to hear that you are having to work so hard. I hope you can try to relax a little before the cruise. After all a cinematic genius such as yourself needs his rest to be creative!

Hi ! I'm pretty new here still, and am not sure if I am even using this thread properly. I posted a message to you about a week ago, and my guess is that I probably messed it up !
Anyway! We (18 of us) are on the 10/18 cruise with you ! It would be very nice to be able to meet some of you experienced cruisers ! If your planning something, we would like to join you!
My DW is Mickey35, and I am Snorgg. My name is Les and we are from Connecticut w/2 DS-Kevin 12-Keith 11 !
Thats my story, and I'm stickin' to it !
Be well all ! Les
P.S.- Is it normall to be this excited, this far from cruise time !?!
I'm turning into a wreck here ! C'mon 10/17 flight day !

 

[kamgen]

Welcome mickey! WOW! Big group! Sounds awesome!!


Okay Beano, I have been working on my lines...here, I will practice one for you...

"Drink please"

LOL!!!


I am so excited! This is gonna be great.....2 weeks from tomorrow we leave for FL! YAHOO!!!!!
And best of all, we get to see our pals!

 

[tarzanman]

18 is too many. You are going to have to cut back on that. Decide who is staying home and then get back to us. J/k! Welcome aboard.

 

[BeanoC]

Les - Welcome aboard. Ask any specific questions you have, and this bunch will give you plenty of useless and sarcastic information!

Just between kamgen and tarzanman, paulcrsb and family, and my family, we have 10 or more Disney cruises under our belt, so we've "been there done that"... ask away.

We are getting together for a DIS'ers sailway party, on deck 10, above the pool, right after the lifeboat drill. After you get a load of us at the port before boarding, you'll want to make a note to be as far away from that deck 10 area as possible!!

Our DS is 13, so I am sure he'd enjoy meeting your boys and showing them around.

Feel free to join us!



Kamy, you may need to work on that line - over, and over...
They'll just have to bring you a fresh drink for each take. Oh Well!!




'Beano'

 

[kamgen]

Beano- that line is for you....everytime I see you I will say "drink please"! LOL!

I started my Wish list...wanna see it? LOL!!!

Gotta get packing soon.....

 

[dfkling]

Well - thanks for the info. We are excited for our first Disney cruise. Does anybody know which night is formal and semi-formal? We want to go to Palo other nights. Look forward to meeting all you veterans.

 

[kamgen]

Hey Dean!
Well according to recent navigators, Formal night is Sunday and Semi Formal is Thursday....so let's hope that sticks!

Can't wait to meet everyone!

 

[BeanoC]

(Voice of Veruca Salt) "Kamy, I do NOT want to see your wish list!"

Every time I think of it, I hear a sucking sound coming from my wallet.

"You're a mean, rotten Beano, you never give me anything I want!"




'Beano'

 

[tarzanman]

"You lose, you get nothing. Good day sir!"

 

[kamgen]

But I want an oompa loompa nnnnooooowwwww!

(actually, I would rather have spa treatments and drinks...who needs a rolley polley short fat dude with an orange face.....dumb request....I think!)

 

[tchrmom]

Boy, have I ever been busy! I don't think I've even been on the message boards since.........TUESDAY! (gasp!)

Mickey.......Welcome! We have a dd8 and a ds11 (he will be 12 in November) We need to get our boys together. Our son met a friend the first night on our last cruise...and it made for a GREAT vacation for him! Here is a bit of advice......buy yourself those 5 mile walkie talkies. They come in very handy with the kids on the ship.

Glad everyone has thier docs. Beano.....I think that means YOU buy the first round of sailaway drinks!

I'm ready to CRUISE!!!!!!

 

[BeanoC]

Beano.....I think that means YOU buy the first round of sailaway drinks!

Not me man! Actually, I think Kamy and Tim got their docs at just about the same time as us, so I'll give them the benefit of any doubt and let them buy!!




'Beano'

 

[paulcrsb]

That's awfully nice of Kamy and Tim to buy the first round!

Paul

 

[kamgen]

Nope, not us.....Beano is such a good guy, he can do the honors...we are just riff raff!

 

[paulcrsb]

Now kids - -Let's not fight or I'll have the Captain turn the ship around!

Paul

 

[BeanoC]

Paul, do me a favor:

Wait until we leave Castaway Cay and we're about halfway back to Florida, THEN make the captain turn the ship around!!

This saturday night is "Disney Jar Night" at our house. We dump out all the change and bills we have saved for the last year, and count up our hard-earned DCL spending money! Hey - somebody has to supplement Kamy's drinking and spa habits!

TCHRMOM;
Great advice ! See? It's the simple things that most of the seasoned cruisers don't even think about that makes life a whole lot easier for us newbies!
Thanks,everyone, for all the great tips so far ! Keep 'em coming !
