How recent are the navigators you are trying to get? I found some that are from September 2006 on this site : http://www.castawayclub.com/
If you click on 7 day Eastern you can find the ones from our itinerary.

We're supposed to get snow/ice here tomorrow. Maybe I'll get out of work. Doubtful, probably just have to work from home. Either way the cold weather will make our trip that much better

BTW, what day is the Palo brunch you are planning? My DH and I couldn't get brunch ressies on our own, so we may want to join.

The navigators were from the last Eastern. Last week or the week before.

It's February!! Four weeks from tomorrow we will be flying to Orlando!

We're going to have to get busy posting to stay on page 1 with all of the new 2008 cruise meets threads.
Have a great day everyone!

Four weeks from TODAY the Storys are flying to Orlando. It seems way too far away... especially since we're supposed to get a couple inches of snow/slush/ice and just your general all around winter mess over the next 24 hours. Makes me grumpy!

Doing my part to keep us on page 1...

 

[jlbridg2]

We're getting snow/ice here too. Just think it will make you appreciate the tropical weather so much more in one month

whats the weather going to be like for our cruise?

 

[Caropooh]

Our group is just growing by leaps and bounds! I'm guessing we're over 100 now! That is just too cool!
Add us to the flying 1 month from today group! Us from Seatttle on the red-eye and my Mom from LAX!!!


HEY!!! Our count down timers now say 1 month 2 days! They're adding days! GRRRRR!!!!!

 

[jlbridg2]

At least its the shortest month of the year!! Only 30 days left

Glad to see the group is still growing.

 

[MrSanderz]

Welcome Kevin and family! We also have two DD's. I'm so glad there are so many kids in our DIS group.

At least its the shortest month of the year!!

Amen to that!

 

[michaels_mom]

Kevin & family!!

 

[michaels_mom]

FYI - I faxed off the request for a Palo brunch ressie this morning for the 13 of us who signed up. I'll post whatever I hear, when I hear it

WOOHOO - 23 days until we leave for the drive to WDW!!

Welcome,

It took six posts before I could PM. I addressed this by putting a couple questions in the general cruise board. It is also one spot to look for info on excursions.

It is our first cruise too so I am not the best in this group for advice but for excursions we are looking at taking a snorkle trip for half a day in St Martin (Pinel Island) which leaves time to poke in town or be free. In St. Thomas it depends if you want shopping or nature. The top choices seem to be St Johns (USVI National Park for nature and snorkling/snuba) Shopping in St. Thomas or visiting Coral World in St. Thomas (aquarium next to a Coki Beach).

The dolphin swim and other animal activities seem to be booking up fastest.

We have a boy age 5 1/2 so it is a challenge to figure out we he/we will all enjoy best.

Hopefully others will continue to share their thoughts during the next few weeks.

Welcome Welcome to our newcomers!!!!

It's hard to belive that our cruise date is getting so close, we booked over a year ago, at that time March 3, 2007 seemed like an eternity away, and now I find myself thinking, I need to start figuring out what everyone is going to pack!!!!!! I have already started a pile of things I want to take that are out of the norm, so when I think of them, I put them in the pile.... one is binoculars for our at sea days....

I debated back and forth on the over the door shoe organizier, after reading posts, both pro and con, I decided that I would try it...with 2 girls plus myself, the bathroom fills up w/ foo-foo stuff pretty quickly and Ron is ALWAYS asking where something is... so hopfully the shoe organizier will serve more of a purpose then just going along for the ride, which alot of the stuff I pack does....

I recieved by Disney Visa Reward card in the mail the other day...I've been a very busy girl, earning all those points (and I'm not done yet, I still have a couple more weeks left of work to do....so I'll be off shopping ...I'm mean working on earning more Disney points, it's a tough job, but after all, I am "The Mom"

Our weather here is very COLD as well, tommorrow the high is only 9 with a very low wind chill... Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I'm just really hoping that the snow does its thing,, and gets it out of it's system before March 2, when we fly out.
We have had much more snow then usally this year. Oh well, I always say, the only thing you can do about the weather is complain...and that never does do any good, so why bother!!??

It was fun seeing so many post today...I know everyone is getting so excited as are we....I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone...

Yeah ...welcome to the new families, kevin and hart...sorry if I missed any other newcomers along the way!

I just can't stand the wait any longer.......All I have to do is remind myself that February is a short month!

How many of you are planning to dress for pirate night?

And speaking of Pirate night, I just bought those glow in the dark bracelets for the kids for the evening's festivities! I bought 45! I found them at Michael's when I went to buy more lime green foam for more lime green mickey head pins...I may have to buy stock in Michael's or perhaps the foamie company!

Oh, and if anyone is interested, I found really cute disney lanyards for ID/KTTW on ebay...around 6 dollars a piece on Ebay....Ebay was my first internet love....DIS quickly has become my mistress who demads all my attention...they had a wide selection too! Let me know if any one is is interested and would like the seller's name.

Have a great Friday all...hoping for a snow day here in NY where schools get closed....haven't used one yet! Maybe the school will throw us a bone!

Night all-
Michelle

 

[ejkjmom]

Michelle.you are so thoughtful... We are sorry that your daughter got sick and you had to move your sail date, but.....we are so excited that you choose March 3 as your new date

By the way, how is your daughter doing????

As far as pirate night goes...Emily & Kaylee are planning on dressing up. Ron and I are not planning on it.

Hope you get your snow day....I know how exciting it is here when that happens...
