Hello DCLADDICT!

I also have a DS13! With Carol36's son, that makes three thirteen year old boys so far. We are a party of four, myself, DH, DS13 and DD12. Can't wait!!!

 

[gamom]

seastar, sorry to hear about your DD's wrist. My DS13 broke his wrist last year and only had to wear the cast for about four weeks, after that they let him wear a removable velcro splint. Kids heal fast! I hope she has a quick recovery.

 

[Deweysgirl]

seastar-Oh my gosh! Sorry to hear of little DD's mishap. Hopefully she will recover quickly and be ready for smooth sailing!

greytlady-What a neat idea to have her cast signed by the characters, but hopefully she will have it off before the cruise.

If not, a cool keepsake! haha

DCL Addict-Welcome!

We are counting the days....won't be long now. Of course I have nothing shopped for, packed or prepared. I'll be freaking out in a couple of weeks if I don't stop procrastinating!

I'm still in daydream mode!

 

[greytlady]

Deweysgirl,

I must have gone into daydream mode too hoping my cruise was closer than it really is. Bummer, I've got a longer time to wait.

You're right, she should have the cast of by then.

 

[seastar]

Thanks for all of your well wishes!!! DD is doing good today-only a little pain. We go on Wednesday to get the cast. The doctor already told me with the waterproof cast she can shower and swim but NO BEACH!!! My hope is she will get it off just before the cruise.

It is almost one month to go!!!!

 

[Carol36]

seastar...WHAT A BUMMER!!! I am so sorry to hear about your DD5's wrist! You know that children heal soooo fast, especially as young as she is. I know that you are feeling her pain right now. I hope and pray that she will be able to get that cast off before the cruise. If not, then you are still going on a DISNEY CRUISE!!!!


WOOHOO !!!

Everybody...We don't have long!!! It will be here before we know it!!

SeaStar--so sorry about your daughter's wrist--I have to go along with the other--kids heal alot faster than we do---tell her my grandchildren said they hope she'll be better soon.

DCL ADDICT--welcome, it's great to have a veteran cruiser with us, most of us are newbie's. We will have a meet on Sunday, May 23 at 3 p.m. in the Promanade Lounge if you would like to meet us--let us know--if you pm me with your names, I am making nametags so we can all get to know each other.

Still no DOC's, going to e-mail my travel agent today.

See You Real Soon.......

 

[seastar]

Thanks Carol36 and TiggerGranny!!!!

At this point, we would be happy to be on the Disney Cruise even if in a body cast!!!

After all this waiting and planning, I am ready to go!!! It is neat to see how our little group has grown. I am looking forward to our dinner at Grills and the DIS meet. It looks like we are going to have a very nice group of kids with many of similar ages.

Hello fellow cruisers!

DD5 broke her arm not her wrist as I originally thought. She broke both the ulna and radius bones. She got the cast today and we go back on May 17. If it is healed, the cast will come off then. If not, she will have to wear it on the cruise. The doctor is very optimistic that it will heal quickly.

Thanks for all your well wishes!!

 

[tiggergranny]

We will all send "alot" of Pixie dust your way between now and the 17th. Keep thinking good thoughts, I had good news, now I wish it for you and your daughter.
32 and counting.....

I just spoke with my TA - our cruise tickets are in!! Woo Hoo!!! I can't wait!!! However, since I'm going to be out of town next week, I told him to hold them to arrive once I'm back. I wouldn't want the tickets to arrive while I was out of town. My BF is taking me to Jazz Fest in New Orleans for next week. I've never been to New Orleans and looking forward to our trip.

 

[Carol36]

seastar... At least the Dr. was positive about you DD5's cast coming off as long as she is healed. She will probably have that cast off and be back to normal!

greytlady... I am happy for you! You are smart to get your TA to hold them until you return!I hope you have a ball in New Orleans!!!

Hey everyone! We don't have our docs, yet! I think that I am wanting them too bad!!!

Carol

 

[tiggergranny]

We don't have our doc's either, I am getting antsy waiting for them. I think I will call T/A tomorrow if they don't come in today.

How's everyone doing?

I got a nice surprise from my WONDERFUL husband last night, his sister who lives in Orlando wants to get together Memorial week-end, my hubby said "we might as well meet them at Disney and go to Epcot Flower festival"--WOW a cruise and then Disney I must have been a very good girl this month.

When I get home today I will check around to see what we want to do--I think we would like to try the SWAN this time. We will go from ship to Disney until 5/31.

 

[seastar]

Greytlady: I hope you have a wonderful time in New Orleans!!

TiggerGranny: What a sweet hubby you have!

 

[DCLADDICT]

WE GOT OUR DOCS LAST WEDNESDAY!! THE DAYS ARE MOVIING TOO SLOW!!! I AM READY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[Deweysgirl]

Tiggergranny-What an awesome surprise! I love the flower and garden festival! Have a great time!

Greytlady-New Orleans is a blast! Enjoy!!

Have any of you started packing yet? I'm going to surf through the threads in the next couple of days and see what essentials I should be getting together. Also need to check with pediatrician on what best to use for seasickness.

Only 4 more weekends to get prepared! yikes!!

MY 13YO DS IS A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD, IN THAT HE IS DEVELOPMENTALLY DELAYED DUE TO SEIZURES. HE FUNCTIONS FROM ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD IN SOME AREAS AND 10-12 IN OTHERS. YOU REALLY NOTICE THAT HE IS DIFFERENT WHEN IT COMES TO INTERACTING WITH KIDS HIS OWN AGE. YOU SEE THAT HE STILL LIKES TO PLAY WITH ACTION FIGURES, LOVESSSSS DISNEY MOVIES AND CARTOONS, AND JUST DOES NOT THINK LIKE THE AVERAGE 13 YEAR OLD. HE IS SUCH A PLEASURE AND BLESSING!! I AM CURIOUS IF THERE IS ANYONE WITH A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD, ON OUR CRUISE. ESPECIALLY THAT HE MIGHT MAKE FRIENDS WITH AND SPEND TIME WITH. HE IS TOO OLD FOR THE KIDS CLUBS (WHICH HE LOVED WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER), BUT COULD NOT FUNCTION WITH THE TEENS, SO HE IS IN THE MIDDLE. WE WILL OF COURSE WILL SPEND TONS OF TIME WITH HIM, BUT HIS SISTER HAS A FRIEND WITH HER (HER GRADUATION TRIP), BUT IT WOULD BE AWSOME IF DS HAD A FRIEND AS WELL. JUST WANTED TO CHECK. THANKS!!

 

[seastar]

Hi DCL Addict,

Your DS sounds like a sweetie!!! He should have a blast on the cruise!

My DD's are 6 and almost 9. They are not special needs kids but we would love to hang out with you by the pool or at other spots. My girls love to hang out with other kids of any age. Maybe we can all go see a movie together. My kids just saw "Home on the Range" and they loved it. I bet it will be playing on our cruise.

Take care.

 

[DCLADDICT]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPLY! WE LOOK FORWARD TO IT. I KNOW HE IS GOING TO HAVE A BLAST, AND IN HIS OWN WAY, HE WOULD LOVE TO BE BACK IN THE KIDS CLUB AGAIN, BUT THERE IS STILL PLENTY TO DO!! I HOPE TO SEE YOU AT 3PM AT THE DIS MEET!!

 

[greytlady]

Hi DCLAddict,

I have a DS10 and DD11 who love the same things and love making new friends. I'm sure they would all be able to relate to our pets and can swap stories. My kids can get a bit zainey at times and are very outgoing. I wonder if the Oceaneer's Lab will still let your DS join in their activities. I wouldn't think DCL would object.
