She had a good time since we started to celebrate her birthday last night with dinner after Church at our favorite authentic Italian owned and operated restaurant, and continued it later today!! We laughed so much you'd have thought we were drunks but she doesn't really care to drink AT ALL and I am just a social drinker and even then not much of one!!!!

Anyway, I was SHOCKED to hear from Matthew that Disney is taking such drastic action regarding the shrimp - I wonder who finked me out on the shrimp!!!!

Andy?

Rae

Not me, hee! hee! honest!!!

Best defense is a good offense, Andy!

Hello!
We are Chelsea(10) & Shelby(4) Keith and we will be on the Magic on May 3rd. It will be my third Disney cruise and my little sister's second. We love the mickey pool and the clubs and were wondering if there were any kids we could look for the first day.
There is lots to do but it is fun to have a friend to meet up with.

Chelsea

ps My Mom & Dad will be with us too.... Doug & Barbara

OUTSTANDING!

Welcome to you all - My son Michael will be 8 on 5/26, and there are a lot of other children that you will be able to meet both at the Sail Away party and at the Clubs - well, you are a Disney veteran, Chelsea so you know that!!!!!

Also!!!! We are having a get together at the Promenade Lounge after the Mustering, so you are most welcome to that!

I'll put you all down on the list - which I hope will get posted tonight!!!

HI Chelsea & Shlelby,

I have 2 boys ages are 5 & 3 and they are looking for someone to meet up with too. As long as you don't mind some cute little boys to hang out with

Hi Savs

My daughter is 3 and would be a cute companion for your boys!

Regards

IF you have the desire/ability to post a picture of your family on the website - maybe it would be a good idea to do so in order for us to recognize eachother!!!!

I think Andy has already given you an idea of us!!!!

Rae, I think you need to check your last post, the list you added can not be opened.

 

[Makaroni5]

rae, thanks for the post. Will see you there. Also, cannot get into your list yet. Look forward to seeing it. Emmak is looking into posting a pic so you'll recognize all of us. Getting closer and closer, so excited I can't wait.

Thanks Rae!

Thanks ThreeCircles, I see that Rae gave my family and me honorary status for your cruise, how I wish we could be on that ship with you on May 3rd!!!

 

[rae519]

Guys - I just love you!!!! THANKS!!!!!!! Thanks for fixing up the link to my list.

I told you all that I am very bad at this computer stuff - maybe now you will believe me!!!!!!!!!!

Andy, you deserve the status!!!!!!

Okay, folks, it's getting closer - remember sunscreen and swimsuits!!!

25 Days to go until your cruise!!! I'm so jealous, I should be ashamed of myself!!!

 

[rae519]

Is that all we have left? My, my, my, Andy, I just didn't notice......................................


HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

I was just telling Hazel that I had a pile of stuff on the floor to put into the suitcase and have been trying hard to clear off my desk from all the accumulating paperwork that's there.....decision! Decisions! DECISIONS!!!!!

[keith & co.]

Rae,
So sorry & I am not trying to be pickey but...... There is no DS Keith . Our last name is Keith -- and with my Husband's first name being Douglas you can just imagine the mixed up reservations we usually get!!
Anyway, just to set the record straight....... We are Barbara & Doug Keith, DD10 -- Chelsea, & DD4 -- Shelby. We are looking forward to meeting all of you.... Kids and schedules willing .
I would also like to say thank you for putting this list together.
My DH and I did it for our last cruise and it can turn into quite a job...... Not to mention it is not in following any of the "12 step DIS Board programs" Yes, I am a recovering addict. HAHA
See you SOON!!!
Barbara

P.S. Rae, I won't tell Shelby you called her a BOY! Unless I get tired and need her to go argue with someone else -- 4 yr olds!!!

 

[rae519]

Oh Lawdy! When I make a mistake, it's a good one!!!!

So sorry about all that, I wrote it down in a hurry and really messed it all up. I will make the correction!!! AND if I mess the link up, I know Three Circles will help me get it right!!!!
Can always count on them!!!!

My cruise in February 2002 introduced me to a wonderful Canadian woman named Shelby!!!!! Now I have met a second one!

HAHAHAHH!, yeah, my 12 step program for DisBoard Addictions!
Some role model I'm turning out to be!!!!

You are still early dining, right?!

Will try to get that change tonight and thanks for not telling Shelby what I did!!!!! Michael (7) is on spring break right now and is argumentative - maybe we can get them together on the ship and they can wear eachother out!!!


Rae

 

[keith & co.]

I don't know Rea........ 7yr olds are starting to use some "Real Logic", whereas Shelby is firmly intrenched in "4yr old Logic", which we all know begins with the premise "I am right and you are wrong" and just stays there!! Sticking Michael with Shelby may be one of those thing you are never forgiven for!!
OH....... if my name isn't on the safety drill list are you going to come looking for me??? HAHAHA
Talk soon'
Barbara

Hi Everyone!

We are booked on the Dolphin Swim in St. Martin/Anguilla anyone else going on this adventure with us? I want to be in the first group I'm afraid I'll chicken out.

As far as St. Thomas I want to do the beach on our own, I'm torn between Magens Bay and Coki. Does Magens Bay have chair rental, and water sport rental available? Any suggestions from previous cruisers? I am also wondering if we would have time for the Tram ride after the beach? Do a quick shopping stop up there.

Hey to keith & co. I noticed that my DD Amanda and your DD Chelsea are both 10. I'm sure Amanda would love to hear from the "experienced cruiser". She is very friendly and outgoing, confidence I never had at her age. That would be great if they could e-mail before the cruise.

We are just counting down the days, I have been driving the kids crazy making them try on their clothes, the way mine grow I don't want to pack something and find out it doesn't fit. AND since we STILL have snow on the ground they obviously haven't needed to wear any spring/summer stuff yet!

Just can not wait to get on that ship!

 

[keith & co.]

PeachyK,
I just this second put Chelsea to bed and came back to find your post... Chelsea will be thrilled!! She loves making new friends.... Sounds like ours are two peas in a pod!!
I would like your opinion on letting our DDs at 10 check them selves in and out of the club???? Common sense says "What could it hurt and how far could they get?"........ Every news & Amber report I see says "There is a weirdo on every corner -- Don't let them out of your sight!!" I am really conflicted and this is the first time we have had to deal with this issue. We have the radios and that would help -- except Chelsea is still at that "Loose your head if it wasn't attached " stage. What does your family plan to do?
Barbara
