March 9, 2006 - Three Day Wonder

Welcome KennyK. :wave:

This is our 2nd Disney cruise. We did the 7 day Western Cruise on January 15, 2005 and loved it. We will be spending 2 weeks in Orlando in March and are looking forward to this trip. :bounce: :Pinkbounc
 
I just can't believe how time is flying by us!!
 
No kidding. With all the hoopla leading up to Christmas (not to mention all the end-of-year nonsense I have to put up with at work) it's hard to come to grips with the fact that, once we get clear of all the holidays, we're at two months or less. Since we put down our deposit LAST February, this has been a LONG time coming.

But I made the final payment about two weeks ago, and ooooooweeee did that feel nice. :earboy2:
 
Nothing much to say, just wanted to get us back on the first page.

Happy New Year Everyone!!
 
I am sorry but this is sad that there are 59 days left and I have to bump this post off the bottom of the second page!! :confused3 We need to get pumped everyone....we are going on vacation soon! ( not soon enough for me though! ) :banana: :banana: :rotfl2: :cool1: :flower:
The weather is terrible here in southern Ontario and I need some sun...I was watching the news and they said we have gone 15 days since we had sun. I was in Northern Ontario over the holidays and I can tell you there was a pile of snow and it was cold :cold: but no sun! We should be excited about sun, sun, sun!!!!

Hi again everyone (wow it has been ages since I last posted here). Yes the southern ON weather right now has been a real drag. I still can't believe we will be cruising in about 2 months!! I am definitely looking forward to the sun. :sunny: Has anyone ever been in March (I've been to FT. Lauderdale 2x and it was great) and I am wondering what kind of weather to expect?

Well we went ahead and booked the Stingray excursion for Nassau, I hope it is worth the price tag. And we are in the process of renting DVC points (though I am a bit nervous still about this) to stay at Vero Beach for two days after the cruise.

I better go check on my kiddies....Happy Planning everyone. :banana:

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to update everyone. WE'll be going down on Tuesday before the cruise and will be staying at Old Key West (DVC) on the return we'll be staying until Tueday at Saratoga Springs (DVC).

The only excursion I've booked so far is the fishing trip at CC. I did this on our Thanksgiving cruise and had so much fun that I decided to do it again and take my son with me. It is pricey but well worth the money.

Hope everyone had a magical new year. :wizard:

Well the snow is flying and the weather is getting colder here in Southern Ontario! :cold: This is the type of weather that gets you in the mood to set out for a sunny spot and just kick off those big snow boots and extra layers and let the sun soak in!!! :sunny: :cool1:
 
Hi Everyone:

Just wondering what everyone is planning on doing in Nassau. We are having a hard time deciding on what to do.
 
Hi, everyone! I just got off the phone from DCL and then WDW Resorts, I was trying to find out about the meal plan. Has anyone heard that due to us doing the joint land and sea we are not allowed to be offered or purchase the meal plan? I tried to get someone to explain to my why since I would be paying the extra but no one could!!?? Has anyone else heard anything about this? I am a little upset as to why we are no allowed since no one could explain why!??!! :confused:

Well just wondering if anyone is getting excited?? I see this board is pretty sad for being so close to the cruise...I am thinking we are going to be very lonely on this ship?!
How has everyone been making out with deciding on packing and getting all the last minute details taken care of!?
I know I am patiently (NOT) waiting for Docs to come!~~!

We're leading the charge of (at last count) a party of ten for this trip. Only six of us are coming on the ship, but we've got the whole group for the front-end Land portion. And DW and I are the only ones who've ever been to Disney. We're heading up to Cleveland (where the rest of the party is from) in a couple of weekends to see everybody, hash out the last minute plans, and be the Disney Geek I know I am and answer any questions people have.

I find myself sometimes caught between just telling people what to do (because I know it works) and making sure everybody feels invested in this and has a good time. It's been nice, though, as the rest of the group has pretty much told me to make the plans, because they just don't care. I'm cool with that, but there's always the worry that somebody's going to get skipped.

Like, f'rinstance, DW and I think that Test Track at Epcot is very overrated, and, while fun, isn't worth a wait of much more than 20-30 minutes. I'm just hoping that, if the TT wait times are (as usual) 60 minutes or so, I can convince them to either FP it, or move on to Soarin' or something else (and do it without sounding like a jerk).

Meh. In the end, even a bad day at the World is better than a good day at work, so I think everybody will be cool about it.

I also just finished making a big calendar to hang on the wall that goes from now until the first week of March. I love making big Xs through the days. Like counting down to Christmas or something. Whoo!! :jumping1:
 
Oh, and DWs passport came in the mail today. That didn't take long. She mailed everything in about a week before Christmas, and it arrived today. Not 100% sure we HAD to have it this time, but I think it's easier to just have one than have to carry all the other ID (and worry about something happening to the birth certificate or something).

I guess that seals it. Spent the money on the passport, now we have to go to Disney.

Awww, dangit... :mickeyjum :sail:
 
Ohhh poor you have to go to Disney!!! LOL LOL :rotfl2: I just got our passports out of the safe lock the other day to make sure everything was fine with them. All looks good so I guess we as well will just have to go to WDW and the DCL!! :thumbsup2
I am sure your party will have a great time together, I know we plan on our 12 having a blast. We are all doing the entire trip together other then one family going a few different places then us but that doesn't bother us.

Houzer :surfweb: party: :goofy: :smickey: :tink: :mickeyjum
 
I just wanted to bump this back up, and to play with some of the new smilies.

:rainbow:

So we're now, what, 33 days out of the beginning of the Land/Sea? Sweet. :woohoo:
 
Hello everyone! DH and I will be crusing with you all on March 9th! We're so excited! We honeymooned in Disney 2 years ago, but have never cruised before.

We just registered for the boards, too. Which is suprising, because this will be my 12th Disney Vacation.

We can't decide what excursions to do - we signed on for the Dolphin Encounter, but what else is good? Help!
 
Welcome Mikey, This is our 2nd Disney cruise. We loved the first one so much, we had to go back. We are having a hard time deciding on excursions too. I think we will just spend some time on the beach and relax.
 
We're getting closer!!!
