May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!!

Aaron liked it on our Palo night and wanted to go for lunch with the club twice. Of course, he's a boy so gross might fit!

oooh I miss that little squirt! Savannah still blushes whenever we talk about him! Then we have to talk about "remember that time when aaron got sick?" Why do kids think that is so cool?

 

[MrsMork]

OY! That child has the most sensitive stomach I have ever seen! Doesn't get that from me or Grandpa. We can eat anything - and we do!

Aaron's daddy called tonight. They got the package we mailed that had a photo album in it for Aaron - pictures of Savannah of course. Yes, she is cute said his daddy!

We also put a tennis ball "dummy" in for him to practice his ventriloquism (sp John1). Did you go to the kids session with the ventriloquist? He was so funny and showed the kids how to make a "dummy" from a tennis ball and some craft store eyes. Too cute! Grandpa bought 3 tennis balls and got them all set up. Now we each have ours and we mailed one to Aaron.

Me, DW, BIL and SIL will in all probability be going. We were on the Westbound Relocation Panama Canal Cruise in 2005 and had a great time. I am hoping that we will see all the sights that we missed on the first cruise.

 

[Jhalkias]

I did the East Bound last time and it was packed with kids and teens...all were pretty well behaved, but there was the summer break crowd who would never consider taking their kids out of school. Of course my friend Susan wanted to do the WB, but hmmm her daughters finals and High School graduation is that first weekend, and well, she really couldn't miss that...and live to tell about it!!! We are taking the girls out of school and they can do an independent study program while we are gone. School will always be there, and no matter how important the schools think they are, nothing is as important as spending time as a family. And before you flame me, my mom is a retired teacher and my sister was teacher of the year last year, so trust me, I know ALL about the importance of a good education! Which is why I don't teach!!! I are a budget nazi!!!

Hey Laura,

No flaming here!

I have been President of our School Board Three times (still currently a member), all my brothers and sisters are teachers, and I feel the same way as you. We took our son out of school for such trips at least once a year from the time he was in second grade until his Junior year of HS. This year, he will receive his bachelors in biological science in two years, and is off to medical school in the fall.

Sophia may or may not be as successful academically, but family time is key!

Kim, even in my head the chance of getting on the boat, is shrinking. With all the posts about the many IC requests, I now have it in my head that this cruise is a maybe.

Pj

I feel ignorant here? What is an IC?

We are thinking of switching our December 2007 ressies to this cruise.

 

[MrsMork]

Welcome, Saltwater!! Nice to have a veteran of the first crossing with us. I'm sure you will be a wealth of information for us novices.

Inventory Control. That is folks who faxed in requests prior to the announcement. Don't feel ignorant and we will be glad to have you aboard!

 

[gometros]

Hmmmmmm . . . does less kids mean MORE adults though, and therefore harder to get into Palo and Brunch?

Of course it may mean LESS people on the ship, as there will probably be more "couples" cabins without the kids.

I really don't think you have to worry. I've been on two 7-days and had no trouble getting Palo ressies. Now you'll have twice as many days with the same amount of people.

On the last repo cruise they limited you to one per adult in each stateroom for dinner. We did a group brunch which was really nice. We did tea once, which I would like to do again. This trip we really want to do more splurges, like the spa and Palos and hanging out by the bar at the pool. I am looking forward to this trip being slightly less packed than the East Bound was last time. I think as many people have pointed out that this will be a more adult cruise and we are really looking forward to that part since our previous Disney cruises have included lots and lots and lots of kids and teens...

can we join in? A couple of Brits here, logged in with our TA and hoping for a cat 6 cabin for next May!

It'll be our wedding anniversary the day we sail so can't wait!

 

[Mom323]

Well my OCPD has kicked in. Will we be doing Fish extenders and all that goes with them. Like the little goodies?

I vote yes on the Group Brunch and Tea. Is this in addition to our own individual ressies?

 

[MrsMork]

Welcome,Angel! We love Brits!!

We are up for the fish extenders, goodies, etc. Also for a group brunch and likely one on our own since we will have AAAAALLLLLL those sea days!

I must say, I have never done a disney cruise and you all have me very excited over the palo dining. My DD and I are doing our first DCL this summer in the Med, don't know if I'll try palo cause I am by myself, but I am looking very forward to hanging with this crowd on the repo and trying with all of you. I need to get on my other meet and start suggesting myself to others to add to their ressie...hahaha

Med cruise sounds so fun but we have too much going on this summer at this point. Lucky you and your DD!!

I am sure there will be plenty of us who will be going to Palo's at one time or the other that you can join!!

Hi from Maz on the Dibb!!! I hope we both get on the cruise - sounds like it is going to be great.

What a fun thing to do for your anniversary!! I have lots of family in the UK down in the southern part, i.e. Waterlooville, Forestside, and Hayling Island area. My DG was a Brit who lived in the USA from 1918-1986 and remained a loyal Brit. His explanation was that he always felt the "colony" would rue the error and return to the "fold", so why bother?
