March 25, 2006- Anyone else?

geffric and skibum,

Lucky you, both trips sound so much fun! Right now my oldest son is trying to talk me into going winter camping in January on a frozen lake in a cardboard box (did I mention TWO nights! ).

I think I would take Vail in a nice warm condo after skiing or sunny Orlando (even if it can be cool to the locals).

Only a few more weeks and I can tell my boys about the cruise

We got 3 inches of snow this morning. Beautiful to look at, but made the morning drive really slow. Didn't anyone remember we do live in Wisconsin, and we are supposed to know how to drive in it! Does make me want to dust the skis off.

myboysmom my boys are going winter camping this weekend but not in a cardboard box but in a tent with the boy scouts. Needless to say I am not joining them..too much laundry and cooking and cleaning to do.... Should be interesting..

Hi everyone!
Haven't hear much from anyone lately so I thought I'd drop by. Putting up the CHristmas tree and trying not to sulk since we were at the World at this time last year! Trying to add a teen to our room and the boat at this time is sold out! My DD who is 15 has found a friend to travel with us. Keep your fingers crossed I can get her on. My other DD is 11 and we traveling with a family with a 12 yr old DD. Love thise teens and tweens!
Happy holidays to you all
Judy

Hi Judy...

I hope that things work out for you and your DD...

Space should open up over the next month as final payments become due - so don't fret over it.

Just plowed the drive, and more snow is coming - but nothing like Vail, where they have received over 10 feet of snow so far - a record for this early.
This is the only group trip that I organize anymore - an early preseason warmup that I have done for the past 18 years. I'll go out another two or three times with friends, and would go out over Spring Break with the family, but they have other plans.

If it wasn't for vacations, I wouldn't have to work.

Judy: I have twice checked DCL web site, and was able to book (just short of credit card) an additional teen (worked with both 11 y/o and 15 y/o age; I could not tell for sure from your post the actual age of friend). Are you sure you cannot add?

Hi!
the problem is adding to a person to a quad room with three people already in it. Evedently, there are rooms open at a higher price, they are trying to get new bookins but no three people rooms can change to a four person room. Sounds crazy to me. we will keep trying!

 

[mickeyworld]

Never thought we would have tickers less than in the hundreds! I'm paying off my balance this weekend.... happy holidays and a merry christmas to me! I've asked for on-board credits to be added to my account from every one of my relatives for CHristmas- rainforest spa days, here I come!

Happy 99 days to go everyone!

With the snow piled up outside, DD soon-to-be-12 off ice skating, and the Christmas and Hanukkah presents mostly wrapped, we'd like to wish our fellow cruisemates a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyful Solstice, and Happy New Year. See you in just 97 days!

This morning we started out at -9, currently at 9:50 we have warmed to a -1. So looking forward to the sun, sand and warmth!

yep... gonna make the final payment and then start dreaming for the Magic.. and sitting on the deck 4 chairs reading, or sitting on the deck 9 chairs by the adult pool reading or watching the ocean..

 

[geffric]

I may have asked this before but..


we are late dining, if anyone wants to link dining reservations with us that would be great... let me know if you do..

Happy Holidays to all...

 

[dlf246]

We're early seating. DW & I usually cannot even stay awake for 8PM shows... But we're fine at 6AM!!

 

[skibum]

Merry Christmas to all!!!

Only three more months!

Hi, I hope everyone had a great holiday!

For this cruise, does anyone know if they are booking excursions for Cozumel, Costa Maya, or Nassau? We have not booked any excursions yet and I was wondering if Disney knows where we are going yet... or will they keep us hanging until some time after our deposits are due?

Thanks a bunch,
Tink

 

[geffric]

I just paid the final payment.. woo hoo!! But I do feel poorer..LOL...


Now on to the important things like excursions..

tinkerbellmagic I don't know and if you find out please let me know too.. we are looking for excusions for Grand Caymans and hopefully the ruins tour at Cozemel. I read on the board to buy the trolley tickets for Key west from them not Disney 'cause then you can get on and off as many times as you want.. http://shophta.com/acb/stores/15/product1.asp?SID=15&Product_ID=13


Happy New Year to all.. just a few more months!! (
Now i have to really get serious about those 20 lbs. )

Congratulations! I still have not made the final payment!

Hmmm... somehow I thought that when we were paid in full and tried to book excursions online, something would pop up on the DCL site and say, "Awwww... too bad.. looks like you are not going to Cozumel... Please check out excursions for Costa Maya and Nassau until further notice."

We like the idea of the trolley also. I wanted to do that last year, but cheapened out and walked. Big mistake.

Happy New Year to all.. just a few more months!! (

Happy New Year to everyone! Hee hee, I hear ya! I keep sending my husband to work with all this Christmas candy and other holiday treats to share with his co-workers so I can get these temptations out of the house!

Given that the February western cruises are still going to Cozumel, I think we are pretty safe now. We're glad to be doing scuba there, but sad that the dolphin discovery at Chank. park is out. We don't have time to ferry to go to the puenta aventuras (sp?) location for dolphins....

 

[mickeyworld]

I watched the travel channel yesterday {for the 100th time}all about the boats.... dreaming!
Turns out my family has put money on my account for Christmas presents- dreaming of that rainforest in the spa!
We are not big excursion people but Shirley at the the Perfect Gift is a Key West expert so I am turning to her for ideas. We love to wander. Plan to go to Paradise Beach in Cozumel- just LOOK it up if you haven't seen the website(Find it on Google) it is repaired and ready to play!
Made my Palo reservations on Christmas day... now to start the packing list!

Have a Disney Day!!!!!

Hi everyone. I'm going to be 12 in February and can't wait 'til we set sail in March.

We have the later seating for dinner, does anybody else? Also, are there any other DDs my age who I can meet up with in the Lab?
