May 4 2006 Wonder, Anybody out there???

[mom x4 grandma x4]

flsurrogate, Jennifer,
I think the 3 of us are the last ones to leave for this cruise!! We will leave about 11:00 a.m. tomarrow. We usually leave early, but DH has a meeting in the morning at work, so wont get our usual early start. But we will be there in plenty of time for our 3:00 p.m. meeting.

At least the weather seems to be perfect for tomarrow, so the deck party should be great.
When it's rainy and they move it inside, it just isnt the same.

See you tomarrow, have a great day and safely tomarrow everyone.

Hey everyone

I had the pleasure of meeting Kathy almost a year ago on our 3 night cruise and we had lots of fun. I hope you all have a fantastic trip and Kathy ~ I expect to hear all about it next week (LOL)

Have fun everyone

Hi Mandy,
I promise I will write you all about the cruise when we get back. Although I may leave out the part about having to be physically removed from the ship while screaming and crying, I dont wanna go home!!!!

ok guys, what routes are everyone taking with these road closures?

I am thinking 50 east to 95 noth. Taking the Titusville exit towards the beaches, then Hwy 1 to the port.

Any better ideas?

 

[misseulalie]

almost forgot, we want to get to the port around 11am. Once we get on the ship, do you recommend going straight to guest services to cancel our shore excursions (since grandparents won't be coming with, we can't do the excursions; no one to watch the kids :-(

I also need to get more hours at Flounders.
Or do we have time to eat first, let DH take the kids to the pool and me go to guest services?

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Howdy,
That is a great question???
I was hoping the smoke would be cleard out by tomarrow morning. i will check out the news tonight to get the latest update.
Maybe we should blow that direction .
I will have to ask DH what back up roads he may take, at this point I havnt a clue which way to go.
flsurrogate and I will be coming from the same direction I'm sure, 528.
They should have detout signs out because a lot of people will be headed to the port to cruise, not just DCL but others will be going too.
I'll let you know what we decide tonight.

Keep your fingers crossed!!!!
Kathy

You may be able to call and cancel today.
But you will board the ship around noon, at that time if there is NO one by guest services I would stop then. it would only take a minute, then zip up to lunch and plenty of time for kids and hubby to swim for quite awhile before safety drill at 4. You arnt allowed into your room until 1:30.
I would do it as soon as possible just so you wont have to stand in a long line. The first day at guest services can be long lines that move very slow.
Sometimes they usher you to lunch, so plenty of time to eat then leave kids with DH and zip down to guest services before it gets too busy if need be.

Dont forget 3 in the promenade lounge too!!!!

See ya tomarrow, I'll check out the smoke in a few minutes on the news and see what we are going to do. I'll let you know.

Boy, I am glad we booked the Magical Express. Detours would just un-nerve
DH if he was driving. I feel there is still so much to do, so I have to run. I think I am packing for a 2-week cruise.

See you soon.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say how great it was to meet all of you. Those of you whom I ran into during the cruise were all having a awesome trip! I was so glad to hear that.
For those who I never saw after our meet, I hope you all had a great cruise too.
We had some road closures due to the smoke again, but got home safely.
I hope all of you made it back safely as well.

one last comment,

BRIAN: WHERE WERE YOU!!!
we all waited as long as we could to meet you, sorry we didnt connect. I hope you made the ship ok.
I actually stopped 3 men around your age with 2 girls around the ages of yours and asked if they were you!!! They must of thought I was a crazy old lady!!! But when I explained they wished me luck.
Perhaps you and your girls will cruise again and we will have the chance to meet. I hope you had an awesome trip!!!!

Hey Kathy, glad to see you made it back safe and sound. Me too, but sad to leave this morning...

I think I saw Jake n'crew the most, sometimes a few times a day!

My girls loved it, didn't want to leave, especially the "club"

oh, well, I'll have to start looking at future dates... maybe October....

It was fun to put faces with the names, glad to meet so many nice folks...

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hi,
Happy to hear you made it home safely.
I was sure your girls would have a great time. It's nice to hear they did!!
It was fun meeting you too.
We ran into Kim everywhere, even the elevators and we were telling each other that it was really getting kind a freaky to see each other so much!

We had a great trip and cruise. Didn't get on the ship till ~2:30 due to the detours on the bus from WDW, so didn't make the meet. Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet anyone, although we probably shared elevators.

It was a wonderful vacation that we hope to do again someday.

So glad everyone had as great a time as we did. We just got back from WDW yerterday. DS (5) is still talking about how he misses the kids clubs. We will definitely go again, hopefully when DS (10 mths) is out of diapers. BTW, Kathy, it was nice seeing a friendly face so often. We must have been staying right above you.

Missing the sea-

Hi Kim,
Glad to hear you had agreat time and want to go again. That is a true sign of a awesome vacation when you want to go again!!
I have to admit it was getting kind of "SPOOKY" running into you so often.

Happy to of met you,
Kathy

 

[Jake & Crew]

We had a WONDERFUL time, so nice to meet everyone, sorry we did not get a chance to see that much of each other. We rebooked for a 7night next year but intend to push it out to 2008.

Will keep you posted!!!
