March 23, 2003 4 day Cruise Who's Going?

[singledismom]

Hey fellow cruisers,

Count us in for a Dis meet, just let us know when and where.

 

[singledismom]

Does this weather stink or what ?!?!!?!? I've started organizing and getting things ready to pack to take my mind off all this snow and ice. I'm thinking happy thoughts....Sun, WDW,ocean,spa,shopping, above freezing weather......Is it time to leave yet ?!?!!??

 

[Bonnie Voyager]

I just awoke and looked out back. My first thought was, "gee whiz, someone stole my patio furniture!" then I realized it was hidden under about 4 feet of snow!!!! We already had about a foot of snow left over from a prior snow when this most recent blizzard hit us! And it's STILL SNOWING!!!!! It's very pretty, but I am afraid we will be stuck for quite some time with this snow! I think today is a great day to watch the Disney Cruise Line promotional video, again!!!!

Our weather is actually pretty nice even with the cold front moving through. I packed my DD bag last night. My mother thinks I'm crazy, but then I want to make sure I bring everything. 10 years ago when we moved to Alabama, we went on a trip to WDW and I forgot my swimsuit.

 

[Bonnie Voyager]

I need to have my Son try on his shorts! He has had a huge growth spurt this Winter and I'm not even sure he has anything that will fit him for warmer weather! Thank Goodness the Spring clothes are starting to show up in our stores! I ordered him some new swimwear off the internet last week, but I didn't even think about shorts and sandals and stuff like that! Time's a wasting! Better shop quick

 

[singledismom]

We got our cruise docs. today!!! I think I will get out the suitcases and start packing. I too had to buy shorts for DD8. (just add water and watch them grow) I found some good deals though from the 85% off racks at our Khols and a pair of sandles from Wal Mart for 3 bucks

 

[floridaminnie]

HOpefully ours will be coming this week!

 

[Bonnie Voyager]

I guess I will have to dig my mailbox out of the snow so the Postman can deliver!

 

[floridaminnie]

When would ya'll like to have a DIS meet? We could have it during the Bon Voyage Deck Party if you plan on going. Or another time?!?!?! Only 32 more days!

 

[Bonnie Voyager]

Sounds good to me! We will probably all be on deck then anyway!

Welcome Toni! How old is your Son? Mine is 8. That is wonderful that you are able to bring him on the Disney Cruise. I have heard wonderful things about the Make-a-wish organization. I hope you have a terrific time and make some "Wonder"ful memories!

 

[tanfl89]

Hi Thanks for the reply. Logan is 12 years old and we have a 5 and 2 year old daughters.


They are all getting excited and we have been on all the sites to see pictures and read about the cruise.


It truely is a dream vacation.

Welcome Toni from another Tampa resident. Your kids are going to love the cruise! I have a 3 yr old daughter.

 

[Bonnie Voyager]

...and I started trying on shorts and bathing suits this morning! I guess I am officially in "cruise mode" now

 

[floridaminnie]

Has anybody else received their tickets yet? I'm still waitng and hoping!

 

[Lil]

Well, we have a flight, a rental car, a hotel, and a tiffany town car to ride in from rental car place to port. We have excursion confirmations, but no cruise documents. Am I getting nervious, you bet!!!! Now, all we have to do is dig out 3 feet of snow drifts to get into the shed to get our extra suitcases.

DH will call Disney tomorrow to inquire about lack of documents.

The clothing thing is driving me nuts.....we are the people who take two carry-ons on the plane and stay a WDW for a week. Wonder if anyone will notice if I wear the same long black dress for two nights.....ummmmmm. DH is seriously considering renting a tux.......I guess this must have been a very good tax year.

We are so excited......it's been many a year since I was on a cruise (34 to be exact).

 

[Lil]

Hey, I'm on the wrong cruise!!!!!

 

[floridaminnie]

Lil...What cruise are you suppose to be on?

I'm still waiting for our paperwork. On another thread I read that DCL switched from Fed-Ex to UPS. Just to let ya'll know who haven't received your paperwork yet also.

Just to let you know that it's going to be a high of 80 today in Florida. This weather is getting me into a real bad cruise mode. My poor students are going to be sick of hearing about my cruise. They're counting down with me!

 

[floridaminnie]

I just called DVC member services today and my Doc were printed and sent out yesterday! Now I just have to wait for the Big Brown truck to show up!
