Thanks everyone! We are taking our daily "Emergen-C's" and a host of other natural immune boosters. My SIL is really into a clean, healthy lifestyle and she is into the naturopathic stuff so she has us all set up. It seems to help and the pediatrician is on board too. I am still taking my backup Rx of antibiotics in case my dd's ears flare up. Even at nine she still gets ear infections once in awhile.

We are heading down to my parents house in Florida on Saturday, so I should be all set by then. I can't wait!

Hi all - I can't believe this, but I have the flu! I can't even move off the couch. Day three today so I am hoping to take a turn for the better now that my fever has broken. All I can do is pray that the dd doesn't get it.

I am addicted to dayquill/nightquill.

Poor thing! The flu is NO fun. Luckily once the fever breaks you usually do start on the upswing. It is tiring, though, so try not to overtax yourself. If there is a silver lining (and it's pretty tough to find with the flu) it's that you'll be done for sure by the time we leave.

DD started with the sniffles yesterday and a sore throat, and the flu plus a bunch of other stuff is going around bad at her school so I am keeping my fingers crossed. She and I had influenza last year, so I'm hoping that gives her some kind of residual immunity, even if it's not the exact same virus. It affected my asthma so bad I almost had to be hospitalized, so I finally listened to my doctor and got a flu shot this year... hope it actually helps.

Amybethchristiansen, hope you guys feel better too. The best thing about strep is those antibiotics tend to kick it fast.

Here's to everyone getting/staying healthy for the next week and a half!

BobandLee, your countdown is a great way to wake up in the morning!

Thank you. You are too kind.

Ugh! Flu! So sorry to hear that. Get well soon.
Here's a bunch of pixie dust to help

Been takin the vitamins and going to bed early. Eatin the veggies.

Hi again!

I think I'm going blind from reading a zillion threads on disboards...however, I cannot recall if there will be a Disney meet for our cruise. Is there something in the works?

Hope everyone feels better soon! Chicago is wet, wet, wet.

Hi Everyone! We just got back from a back to back on the Disney Magic and it was the MOST incredible cruise we have ever taken... and with 69 under our belts that is saying something.

I envy you all getting ready to go on and wonder if some of you can help me out with some fun.

We had a great time with our Head Server who is also a Server in Palo... his name is Roberto. We joked and teased the entire 2 weeks and it was truly said when we left. I told him that we would haunt him from beyond and that is where you all come in.

If any of you have Palo reservations PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE say Hi to PJ from Dave and Michael... but go up to Roberto and tell him that Dave and Michael from the Disney Boards told you to find him and ask him for a special free Roberto cocktail. Then ask him if he has his GPS positioning yet. (He kept joking that he was going to tag me with it so he would know when we were coming so he could hide.)

I am going to ask people to do this every week for as long as I can keep it going.

I know he will laugh, but it will also let him know that we truly enjoyed his service and friendship while on board. You should request him as a server if you don't already have a favorite.

Thanks alot!

Dave

Hi all. So sorry to those suffering from cold weather illnesses. I, too, have been down with the flu, but feel that I am on the upswing as well. Dayquil/nyquil is my friend too.

Can we all sign in with our specifics so that we can compile a list? I will try to keep up with it and periodically post a list for people. We can do a DisMeet if anyone's interested, too.

I will go first:

1. Stateroom 6590, Mitsy (Me) and Jeffery, DS13
2. Stateroom 6587, Kathy (my sister) and Crystal, DD16

Welcome to all the newly found cruisers. As I've mentioned before to new subscribers, we are all meeting Saturday on deck 10 starboard at 3pm to have our first meeting on board. We should also try to get together mid-trip. Maybe on the first day at sea we could meet to do a DIS photo (secret deck on 7?) and a cocktail. Bob - it's five o'clock somewhere!
!

Yes - glad you asked!

 

[Tinkbellfan]

Disneymom - Hi and good idea to get of list! Me (Debbie) and DD9 (Megan) are in 7622. We have another group with us too Fiona, Chris, and DD13, DS9 on the deck eight (don't have their stateroom #) and the Hilton grandparents in 7070.

We have our first Dismeet planned, see PP. Thanks.

 

[huntbrown]

Hi

We are in room #2629. Me (Nicole), DH (Bill), DD (Caitlin 9), and DS (Hunter 5).

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Hi All:

We're in 8532, me, DH Matt, DD 13 (Samantha) and DD 11 (Charlotte).

Hoping to make the first meet at 3 on Saturday. Good idea for a cocktail on the first at-sea day too!

Cindy

 

[gomagic]

My mom and I will be in 6588.

 

[amybethchristiansen]

It will be me Amy (31), dh Eric (41), dd Lindsay (4 1/2), ds Grant (9 months) in 2518.

And I thought there would be no drinkers on this cruise.
And me having to be good this time.

Group photo sounds good.

O.K., in our cabin, number 2610, we have me(old), Lee(forever young), and the two kids Payton 13 and Paige 9.

I think we have everything all ready to go now.
After talking with AKL, I believe we will get the room we wanted.
Found out that our transportation doesn't leave until noon, so we won't get onboard until about 2, so no Parrot Cay buffet.

We are in cabin 6108 with me, my husband, 14 dd and 6 yr old grandson. This is our second cruise and our first time staying in a room with a balcony. Soo excited!

We are excited to meet all of you!

Since there is another cruise between ours and the current cruise, hopefully they will have it fixed. What do you think? Can stabilizer parts be overnighted?

 

[BobandLee]

 

[cindy18]

I had the same concern about the stabilizers. The thread makes it sound as though they will fix the stabilizer when the ship is in port this coming Saturday. The live post made it sound as though there was no problem, although obviously that's in part because it seems as though the weather has been great. I bet we'll know if it's fixed by the end of this weekend.
