~~~ May 16, 2009 ~~~ Western Magic ~~~

Welcome dta87!!!! This is a great group -- some of the nicest people I have met in a long time!

Megan -- we have 9 reservations linked for early dining. I can try to add you guys to it or you can call in and request to be linked to my ressie which will link you to everyone. We have kids of all ages in this large group as well as of course us "grown-ups". I doubt we will all be at one table (I think there are 30 or so of us) but hopefully we will all be close by. We requested the 6:00 pm rotation -- Val has the specific rotation letters, I can never remember that but it starts with A. :) PM me if you want to join in the fun. I am with you, we started with late dining but got worried the kids would miss too much in the kids club so switched to main dining. I am guessing the kids (DD 7 and DS 4) will still eat dinner in the club once or twice.

Ok -- off to work!!!!
 
Hey I guess I missed out on all this planning! We have a pretty large group of us on this cruise (5 rooms). DIS'rs include me (dta87), DW, DDx2 (19, 15), DS (17) (coming in from VA) DW (maplemouse), DH, DD (coming in from TN), and non-DIS'rs on their first cruise include DDad, DMom, DSisx2, DNx2 (all flying in from CA). I am still working on my third sister but she is resisting all modes of assimilation.

These 44 days can't go quick enough for me.

Welcome!!!!! :dance3:
 
Good morning everyone! It was great hearing about everyone's travel plans!!! Thanks for sharing!
I have been trying to start a work out routine, alternating between pilates one day and cardio on the elliptical machine the next day. My arms are hurting this morning but hopefully all my hard work will pay off and I wont scare any small children when I put on my bathing suit!
Anyone else trying to get in shape or stay in shape before the cruise? What works for you?
 
I'm watching it right now - when did they drop it?
I'm on East coast so first viewng of AI and I tape it...when was the fbomb?
Kris said it, but it was picked up on a different mic because I don't think his was on, so it wasn't as obvious as it would've been had it been on. It was when Ryan told Matt to to take a seat...on the couch. Kris went over to him as he was walking to the couch and said "April Fool's, F-er!" I played it over & over again because I wasn't sure if he said "that" or "sucker." The more I listened to it, I'm sure it was the F-bomb!! :eek:

I KNEW they were lip synching!!!
Jimmy Kimmel was making fun of Scott because he was so far away from his mic when he was singing his part. I like Jimmy a lot, but I thought it was very insensitive to laugh at him because he couldn't see the mic. :sad2:

:welcome: Better late than never!! :laughing: I'll get all your info added to post #2! You're a big group!! :yay:

okay so i ahve to schedule teh shuttle from teh raddison to teh port? We are a party of 10. Do i jsut call teh hotel to do this? I want to be on an early shuttle. Seems like the 10 might be taken- but the next one out i would love to be on.
Call the hotel directly to get scheduled for the shuttle. There might still be room on the 10 AM (first) shuttle. All of us that are booked already did so around late Jan/early Feb or so. Not sure how fast it's filled up since then, so call ASAP!! :thumbsup2

is anyone meeting on friday at the hotel? I probalby will not be there til about 9:30 or 10, later but i am a night owl.
We'll be getting there around check-in time or before. We don't have any plans for Friday night yet (unless the shuttle launch is still on), but we know we'll need to eat somewhere--within walking distance! I've never been to the Radisson, so I'm not sure if there's a place where we could all gather if we want to or not. Has anyone else been there before?

There are 10 of us going-

Me- Megan
My husband whose birthday is the 17th!! we will be celebrating in Key West!!
My daughter- Taylor 11
My son Chase 3 1/2

My mom- Nancy

My brother- Michael
his wife- Jackie
Their son Mikey 5 1/2
their son ryan - 2 1/2 (hoping they let him in kids club instead of nursery)

Grandpop- Joe!
I'll get all your info updated on post #2 also!

If i stay with the early dining i would like to link up with everyone. how do I do this? Is anyone with younger kids linked up? We have four kids coming ages 2 1/2, 3 1/2, 5 1/2, and 11. I do not want the kids to be bothering anybody. They may be in the kids club during dinner, but who knows.
We'd love to have you join us!! We have actually separated our linked dining groups into "those with kids" and "those without kids," so you'll fit right in with those of us "with!"

Welcome dta87!!!! This is a great group -- some of the nicest people I have met in a long time!
Awwwwww!!!! You're so sweet, Mati!!!

That reminds me, who here watches Grey's Anatomy?!?! I was 2 weeks behind until the other day when I got caught back up. I thought of all you guys when the face transplant guy had his cyberfriends show up at the hospital! :grouphug:

We requested the 6:00 pm rotation -- Val has the specific rotation letters, I can never remember that but it starts with A. :)
The 6:00 seating that we requested is APLLAPL! :thumbsup2

Well, I had been doing good with my elliptical/surfing :laughing: routine, but I just haven't had time lately, so it's losing its effectiveness. :sad:
 

hey guys, just wanted to post real quick to say I saw the most recent additions!

minniemmom - gotcha Covered

mambrose - Gotcha Covered

Faith&Hope - No Prob!

Ordering now, will be back with a total. I think i'm going to order a couple extra of each, Just in case.... So if anyone missed the cut off, let me know ASAP because there is a VERY limited number of extras.
 
we currently have main dining but i am debating on switching to late dining just becasue i like to get the most out of my days and do not want to rush to get to dinner. But the other half of our party wants the early dining. If i stay with the early dining i would like to link up with everyone. how do I do this? Is anyone with younger kids linked up? We have four kids coming ages 2 1/2, 3 1/2, 5 1/2, and 11. I do not want the kids to be bothering anybody. They may be in the kids club during dinner, but who knows.


Megan,
I also have the early dinning. A bunch of us w/ kids all ages are. I have a DD10 Coral. Glad to see a few girls her age. My advice to you is to keep early dinning time. This is our 4th DC and i found my Kids were so tired they fell asleep at the late one. I see your kids ages are young. Just a thought! rystal,
 
Hello everyone! We'll also be joining you on this cruise. I'm so excited. It's a pretty last minute extention of a DVC trip that we already have planned the week before, May 10 - 16 staying at BWV. My DH thinks I'm a bit crazy, but is totally onboard. My DD thinks I'm the best Mom ever :laughing:.

I'm Kim (32) my DH is Chris (33 on May 12th) and my DD is Chelsea (4). This will be Chris' and my 7th cruise and Chelsea's 5th cruise. We've never cruised with Disney before and are really excited.

I tried to read some of the thread, but gave up -- it just seemed too overwhelming :upsidedow.

I look forward to meeting you all and learning the details of this cruise!

Welcome! Just a quick note. We are ordering custom wrist bands to help us ID each other on the cruise. They are Neon Green (DIS color) Glow in the Dark & have our cruise name on them. They will be about $1.50 each... youth & adult. I am working on the order NOW. Let me know if you guys want in as soon as possible. I've already ordered, but got a couple extra.

Welcome to all our new cruiser friends!!!

I joined this discussion back at the end of February...so around page 80. If you start there you can almost catch up on everything. :surfweb:

Thanks for the welcome. I think it's overwhelming because I've never booked a cruise so late before. I'm a bit of a compulsive planner and most of my trips are booked a year to 6 months in advance. This is a very last minute add-on trip!

Thanks! That'll give me a place to settle down and start reading.
 
This ? is for Val or Mati,
I see on here you guys are saying you have to call your TA to vbe liked for Dinner. Does this mean if you dont do this we won't be linked up? I don't even know what a TA is lol. Crystal,
ok, call me tired or just stupid a TA is Travel agent. Uhh what a long day. i'm getting nothing done. Do i have to call my TA? She's not very good she never gets back to me.

Hi Shawan! I try to work out at least 3 times a week in a TEAM class at Lifetime but it doesn't always work out. I would love to lose weight before the cruise but am not going to beat myself up if I don't. The way I see it -- there is more of me to love! At least that is what I tell Yoni! :rotfl:

Kris said it, but it was picked up on a different mic because I don't think his was on.... The more I listened to it, I'm sure it was the F-bomb!! :eek:

With MIL here missed both T/W of AI :scared1:. They should be recorded so hoping to catch up today and will look for the new infamous F-bomb! Thanks Val!

That reminds me, who here watches Grey's Anatomy?!?! I was 2 weeks behind until the other day when I got caught back up. I thought of all you guys when the face transplant guy had his cyberfriends show up at the hospital! :grouphug:

I thought the same thing when I saw that!!! Wasn't that so nice?!

hey guys, just wanted to post real quick to say I saw the most recent additions!

Amanda -- I know I've said it before but I"ll say it again -- THANK YOU for organizing this!!!! :worship:

I'm Kim (32) my DH is Chris (33 on May 12th) and my DD is Chelsea (4). This will be Chris' and my 7th cruise and Chelsea's 5th cruise. We've never cruised with Disney before and are really excited.

WELCOME Kim! Now I have to keep two Kim's straight -- Kim with an i and Kim with a y! :) We have a DS (Kai) who is also 4 so they will be in the club together!! This the very first cruise for both of my kids.....

Hi Crystal! I have your ressies linked up with ours. The issue comes with requsesting the right rotation (see post from Val a few back from this one). We all want the 6:00 dining rotation. DCL said the best way to get that was to have everyone request it through their TA (Travel Agent). If you booked via DCL, call them and request that rotation and if they ask if that is for all 9 reservations (Yes, there are 9 of us linked :3dglasses) tell them YES. If you booked via a Travel Agent, call them and ask them to request the rotation for you. make sense? Hopefully it will all work out. I know Sabrina will be devastated if she doesn't sit with Faith so we have to make sure we have enough pixie dust to make it all happen (plus, I want to sit with my peeps!).

Ok, back to lie down. I came home early with some kind of stomach bug. Have been trying to nap but the phone (work, cell, home) keeps ringing so I gave up and of course....came here. :) Be back later!
 
hello, right now i have palo reservations for the first night, as this was all i could get. does anyone else have ressies for this night? Mine are either7:00 or 7:30- i forget as i made two reservations- one for one half of my party and one for the other half. Also, if i get onboard and there is another night open, will they let me trade the nights out?

Amanda

Is 14 too much to cover (12 definite adult, 1 youth, and 1 either) or am I too late.

Thanks

Dave

My mom & stepdad have reservations for the first night (they're not on the DIS, though). :sad2: That is all that was available at the time--they thought they booked for Tues but didn't click "confirm," so the reservation was lost.

If that's not what you truly want, go straight to Rockin Bar D to get it rescheduled. They keep some reservations aside for booking onboard.

Oh no, Mati!! Get that nap in to get yourself feeling better!! :goodvibes
