Look at the two tickers in my signature line! It looks like Daisy is racing the ship...on her roller skates.

WONDER WHO WILL WIN??

 

[dizzi]

uuuuughhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i cant decide what room or category i want i go back and forth every day looking and searching rooms.

 

[taraandmike]

what room cat are you booked in now? We got a secret verandah and the inside across the hall booked.

 

[dizzi]

we are not booked yet.

And i am totally jealous of the secret verandah room.

I was once booked in one of those rooms and changed my cruise.

I dont think it is worth us getting a verandah room because my DH didnt set on it much our last cruise.....
But I do dislike being in an inside room

so the poerfect choice is a port hole.........You would think decision made...right BUT
I have not yet justified spending that much more money on a room to sleep in for just the 2 of us.

ughhh

I was thinking of booking an inside and the upgradin at port if possible.

I am off on thur and fri and i am going to just book an inside and make sure i am on the ship at this point then go from there.

 

[threewilmingtonwalls]

Yes...just get your happy selves on the ship, then we can figure it out! I might have already said this - maybe if we can get an upgrade to a suite, you can take our verandah room, and get a good price on it? Or...if you really want to use a verandah but you want to spend less, then you stay across from us and just visit? Is it less expensive to get a porthole room on a lower deck than an inside room on deck 7?

Decisions, decisions....

In unrelated news, we were out to dinner when Mike sent his text the other night. So funny! You're off for the next couple of days, and Lilia is out of school. Call me if you have time and we can catch up! I want to know about this alleged spring bike trip. Clearly, I am only logging on here about once a week. I sent you a text!

(P.S. - Above, where I typed "happy selves"...the original word I used was a four letter word, the British version of another name for "donkey"...also known as a "bum"...and the board automatically edited it and inserted asterisks. Yikes! I hope I'm not going to get in trouble for cursing on the DIS!! )

 

[dizzi]

****** thats pretty hilarious!!!!l

We are styaing in a hotel last night and tonight as we are getting our house, "tented"...

Something i had never seen done til we moved to fort lauderdale. It is a insured way to remove termites from the home and it helps in lowering insurance here. Suggested to be done every 5 years .... so it was time for us.

It is a pain cuz you have to remove any opened food and medicine but NO TERMITES is a good thing.

Yes you had mentioned the upgrade thing and you can be the first one in line and we will be the second ones in line.........BUT YOU HAVE TO PROMISE THAT WE CAN VISIT YOUR GREAT ROOM! But i think we should go back and erase all the comments about it so noone knows.....HAHA

IF the terminal opens at 10 what time should we plan to park our HAPPY SELVES in front of the terminal???

 

[dizzi]

ITS OFFICIAL

WE ARE IN STATE ROOM 6635

WHOOHOO

with a $25 on board credit from the credit fairies!!!



Unless we get a great deal on an upgrade at port we will just stay put here it is a decent spot!

WE will just spend a lot of time in our favorite chairs in the cove!!!!

Lynn,
Glad to hear you have your room booked. This week has been very busy, With the new dates out for the Fantasy I have been getting some quotes, I was thinking of moving this date to January, and booking the Fantasy later in 2012. I am still not sure what we are doing. If we move this cruise to January it will save us about 1200.00. Also semester is just ending and it would be easier for my daughter to catch up on missed work.

For now I am still on this cruise, on the other side of the ship than where you are booked. I was just thinking, this coming Friday it will only be one year!

 

[dizzi]

I have been looking at the fantasy too..........

One day we will do the fantasy or the dream.

But i would liek to do them with my daugher maybe for her 18th bday like we did for my son!

 

[dizzi]

tara and mike.......
any decisions yet on your cruise plans?

 

[taraandmike]

No not yet, We are still booked on this cruise. Everyone wants a different date and can not decide. I think I can wait to go on the Fantasy until 2013 maybe January-March time frame. We will have to see.

This has been another busy week, my youngest daughter has confirmation this weekend and we have been preparing for that as in-laws and nieces are visiting this weekend. A full house, but it is nice to have all the the girls together as they only get to see each other a couple times per year.

I should probably go get breakfast going, but wanted to check in since I have not been on for a week.

We booked this cruise when we were on the Panama Canal cruise in January but I don't think we'll be going as we've got too many other things going on next spring. We're going to be relocating next summer so we just don't think it will be good time since we'll be preparing to list our house, looking for a new one, ect. I'm really excited about relocating so at least I have it to look forward to

Just in case we don't cancel, I'm going to follow along but not really post much. We were really excited about it as my 35th bday is March 3 and the kids bdays are March 12 and 13. I've always wanted to be at WDW/DL/on DCL on my birthday but it will probably have to wait.

But I hope everyone has a fantastic time! I will definitely be thinking of all of you and maybe, but not likely, joining you all.
