March 22, 2012 Dream SSMC Reunion AKA "It's all Gary's Fault" Cruise

[susieq55]

Good Morning Fellow Cruisers! I am so glad it is Gary's Day. Just wish it was 4:30 on Gary's Day.

As like Dianne, I feel like I'm behind. Work has just been exhausting with trying to train the two new people, and the person who is the boss now I am showing her stuff she didn't do before but I did and trying to keep up with all the daily stuff that has to be done because it has to be done and I am just pooped when I get home.


Monika & Sue - congrats on your win.


Dave - wishful thinking that we would be joining you and Sue. But I will be in the Philly/DC/NYC area in April with Becca for her Sr. Trip. But, the school runs a very tight ship because it is scheduled with something going on every minute. My sister went last year with her kids and said you are constantly on the go.

Well, I think I have caught up a little. So, have a great Gary Day everyone!

Wait, wait, wait - did you say you were going to be in Philly in April!!! OMG, I HAVE to try and meet up with you, Chris!! We've got to try, at least! That's only 20 minutes or so for me - I can be there in a Flash (oops, sorry Dave).

Thought you'd be pretty busy - sorry you're so swamped.

Still snowing . . .

Sue - that would be so cool. We haven't got the finally itinerary yet so I don't know where or what we will be doing but I will defintely let you know.

 

[WDWLVR]

Giving us a bump from page 4, hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

 

[dvc4life]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Page 4 We are really falling behind. I know I have been just not into here lately with work and all. Need to do better.

Soooooooooo,

Dave - what kinda plans do you guys have set up for your cruise in February? How many more days before your go? Are you going to just do the cruise or are you guys going to Disney too?

So many questions, so little time.

 

[Time4disneynow]

Hello everyone...got more snow yesterday...3 inches. Today, it is very windy and cold. I sure could use a Disney cruise. Enjoy the rest of the day.

So many questions, so little time.

Hi Chris...so many questions ...but people want to know....



Take care....

We only ended up with a dusting up here.

Good evening everyone,

Yes I am much better, Michael was a little under the weather, we both still have sniffles, but other than that we are good. Michaels job is doing good so far.

Ok Alaska cruisers, I did not go on a whale watch, heard it was awesome.The Bear watch was suspose to really good also.

At the time Michaels knee was bothering him alot so we held back, not sure what to expect.

What you must not miss is the helicopter ride in Juneo, you land on Mendenhal Glacier, its out standing although Michael swears my hand print is still in the seat of the helicopter

The the rain forest is cool.

The inside passage, kecthican, we just kind of walked the town, its a really a cute town. since we have firefighting in the family we had to stop at every fire department in every town.

skagway we visited the micro brewery it was ok, and visited the salon on the red light tour, I do not think the tour was worth it, but you can still walk the streets and visit the salon, we ate lunch there it was fun!

We were on princess , and they had a naturlist on board, and they would be there to answer any questions.

Oh and don't think you need hiking boots.

When you tour Glacier bay it gets mighty cold.

I hope everyone going to Alaska has a balcony room, it is well worth it.

Well when I think of more things I will let you know, is anyone getting off the ship and doing a land tour?

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone - happy Monday!

Dianne - thanks for the recommendations! The helicopter to Mendenhall was originally on our wish list but just can't swing those dollars. Also DCL isn't going to Glacier bay but we are going to Tracy Arm . I'm hoping that DCL will bring a naturalist on board for that day.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and has a great week ahead!

 

[wltdsnyfan]

Morning Everyone!

Can you believe this is the 2 week of 2011 already.

Wow Time flies.

Have a great week.

Sounds great! I have actually been looking at Princess for whenever I end up taking an Alaskan cruise.

Good Morning Sunrisers and fellow Cruisers! Wake up! It's Tuesday and we're gonna get MORE snow!!!

Well, here we go again! We are forecast for over 8" here starting around dinner time - yippee!

DH has been nice enough to share his lovely cold with me - go figure! So now it's my turn. Actually, I think DS started it all right before Christmas.

I guess I'll start taking down all of the decorations inside tomorrow if we're snowed in and DS will probably be home from school. The outside will have to wait until the snow disappears a little!

It's Tuesday so it must be Mom's today! I have to take her some essentials and take down her tree today - we did everything else last week.

What is everyone else up to today??

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone - happy Tuesday!

Sue it sounds like you have a full day ahead.

For me it is just normal work. We are getting some snow, but not as much forecast as you and Dave have.

Have a great day everyone and to those getting snow stay safe!

Hey there! Saw this on the member cruise thread and thought you all might like it!

Hey all. Just thought I would say "Hey".

Right now life is just crazy.

Just wish I was on a cruise with you all and relaxing right now. But, that won't happen for a while yet. So, at least I have March to look forward to and being at WDW! I'm still so excited that the girls will be performing there. Don't know really for sure where or when, but at least we know the days they are to perform. They told me tonight that they know they will be marching at MK and they think they will be singing at EPCOT. So we just have to wait until they find out for sure.

Oh, I'm also excited because we have booked the Keys to the Kingdom Tour at MK for one morning. We have never done this before. Have any of you? I can't wait to see the underground part. How cool is that. I know a guy from last year's members cruise, Ian - Sue you may recognize his name cuz he is going on next year's cruise too - and he said he has done it 3 different times and each time it is different. So we are very excited about doing it.

We have had one dissapointment for our March trip. And that is when the 180 mark came we made a dining reservation at Raglan Road for March 17th. Well, they called last week to cancel it, saying that they never take reservations on March 17th and that a mistake was made and they were very sorry could they help make other arrangements for us. That they were only taking walk ups for dining or you could pay a $10 cover charge for the bar and enjoy the dancers, band and party. Well, that did upset me because we are traveling down to WDW on the 17th. So we thought we had a reservation to enjoy the holiday there. But I guess not. So, we had to find a new place to try and make a reservation. So we decided we would try Wolf Gang Puck Cafe. We have done WPE and have really enjoyed it so we thought what the heck, lets give it a try. Has anyone else dined there? Would love to hear your opinion if you have.

TTFN!

Happy Hump Day Gang!

To all our East Coast Cruisers, STAY SAFE & WARM! You are just getting dumped on with the snow this year. Just heard 17" in some places. Wow! So, be safe!

Have a great day.
