May 4, 2008 4 Day--- Official Cruise Meet--- Anyone out there???

[CSwan1]

Do we have a room number for SamLaw97?
How will we know where to deliver?
Still no response from him?? Maybe they changes their minds about participating??
Oh, boy, we leave Sat and I can't wait to get on that ship!
Of course, DH's blood pressure is 150/100, he is dizzy and fell during the night and had to go to the doctor...doubled his BP meds...there is a stomach virus going around....I have felt queezy for over a week...maybe power of suggestion....lost a filling and had to go to dentist quick...now my tooth hurts....just hope we make it alive and well onto the ship!
Goodness, I hope he feels better.
Got my little gifties together...hey, what night is the Pirates in the Carribean party? I have some gifties for that night...
The 3rd night, I think.
Susan

OH NO
Crystal, I only have 14 rooms on the list of names you gave me!

There are a lot more on the list you posted with first names and number in party.

HELP...what am I missing? I want to have enough fishextender gifts.

The 14 rooms are the ones participating in the FE. The other list is everone on the cruise meet but some of them are not doing the FEs. This will probably be my last post. We leave for Burlington in a few hours and then fly out early in the morning. Safe travels and can not wait to see everyone!!

[Frequent Flyer]

What an amazing trip!! I hope everyone made it back home safely. More later. Too tired tonight. Sweet dreams and pixie dust!!

One more thing for now. My DD said there better be a towel animal waiting for her in her room when she wakes up tomorrow. Yikes!!

 

[CSwan1]

and Happy Mother's Day! I hope everyone had a safe trip home. We got home late last night and now the unpacking begins!! Thanks to everyone for the FE goodies! My DD loved coming back to the room and seeing things in her FE. I'm sorry we all were not able to meet up but I did get to meet Frequent Flyer, kcatplay and Mindy. Did everyone have a great time?? We sure did. I will be writing a report hopefully after the unpacking is done. So, when is everyone going back??

I am sorry we didnt get to meet everyone! But the few I did meet, nice to put a face to a name! We had soooo much fun. Rebooked for a 7 day. Cecily is still crying about leaving Kailee. She was really thrilled she has a friend. Am I the only one suffering from major jet lag? We go to bed at 7pm and up a 4am. Time difference is killing me. Groggy all day and still feel the waves.

Anyone, grab extra navigators they would be willing to donate to our memory box? I bawled after knowing and realizing I had left them with other mementos in the vanity drawer in the room. My family didnt even keep theirs! They are crazy. I got a lot of great souvies though. My favorite, small but cool, was the fish extender key chain I bought. It makes me smile. Got a hoodie, shirt, towel, tons of photos from shutters, and a dcl figurine for our dinsey room!

Took my photos to get developed today. DH is working on our video of the trip. I want to do a trip report, but I have not a clue to even where to begin.
I could start out.... Cecily pucked the entire plane trip there! She got major motion sick from the plane. After we got there she was fine though.

I am sooo sad to be back but glad to be home. Perhaps we can book on the same cruise next time too!

Well hello to everyone!
The cruise was wonderful and I had a chance to visit with my daughter (cast member) which I will always cherish!
I did look for someone on the first day with a marathon t-shirt but never found her! It's funny , the last day another cast mom came up to me and asked me if my on-line name was MommaK....I asked her how would you know to ask me and she said...Well, you are probably the only other Canadian cast mom on board and someone down on deck 3 was looking for me!! too funny....she tried pointing out Swan to me but I never could find her. Although you might be on my video because I was taping the final farewell of all the characters. (I was up on deck 4 looking over)
Hope everyone had a wonderful time.....I will never forget it!!!!

I really wanted to rebook but got busy and forgot!! We want to do a 7 day too. What itinery are you doing? When I told Kailee youwere going on another cruise, she asked if we were going with Cecily. Cecily is still crying about leaving Kailee. She was really thrilled she has a friend.Kailee totally misses Cecily. She told everyone at school about her today. I hope they will be long time friends. Am I the only one suffering from major jet lag? We go to bed at 7pm and up a 4am. Time difference is killing me. Groggy all day and still feel the waves.
Definately jet lag and major Disney withdrawl. I really didn't want to leave.

My family didnt even keep theirs!I think I have extra navigators. I will check my stuff and have my family look and let you know. They are crazy. I got a lot of great souvies though. My favorite, small but cool, was the fish extender key chain I bought. It makes me smile. Got a hoodie, shirt, towel, tons of photos from shutters, and a dcl figurine for our dinsey room!

Took my photos to get developed today. I have to do this. I took over 1000 pictures on the trip. I will send you some of the girls swimming the last night.DH is working on our video of the trip. I want to do a trip report, but I have not a clue to even where to begin. Me too. I am at a lossf or words and I kept a journal of what we did everyday!

Thank Goodness!!

Sorry I missed you. I was looking for you after talking to the othermom. We were in line to meet Mickey and then right upin front for the final farwell; just to the right of the Ariel statue. I know my daughter had on brown and pink jammies but I can't for the life of me remember what I was wearing.

Thanks everyone for the FE gifts. It was fun to come back to the room and finding little goodies...like a kid at Christmas! We should have had a get together on my veranda....it was HUGE...big enough for probably 25 or more people...the entire back of the ship! The weather was super, wasn't it?

My baggies were so full of stuff for the FE that I had to leave some of them in a big grocery bag on the FE! Hope the kids enjoyed their loot...

I swam with the dolphins and it was WONDERFUL...what beautiful creatures.

I will post pictures after I recuperate from my trip...I am exhausted...we spent the last 2 days in WDW and if any of you stayed, you will know how HOT it was...100 degree heat index...it zapped your energy.

Booked a 7 night cruise for Nov 14 2009...it is a cruise that stops twice at CC. OH, and best of all I WON $300 shipboard credit on this cruise at one of the DVC meetings!!!! It paid my bill with extra $100 to spend at the gift shop!
WOW, I was so so so so happy!

Rebooked for a 7 day.

We got a quote for a 7 day and were about to go for it but my DH said we need to pay off the credit card before putting another deposit on it.

Well, today when I got home there was a packet in the mail. I opened it and it had the itinerary for the cruise we were looking to book. I was ecstatic!! I figured my DH booked it anyway as a surprise. When I looked closer, I saw that it was just the official quote

Hopefully we will rebook soon.

Thanks Crystal. At least there is hope for the navigator issue. Anyhooo, we dont have a day planned. And I didnt rebook on board. I just got home and so depressed I just did it. No date yet. Just picked one. Wanna go? Thinkin in a year and a half or so. I know Cec would love to see Kailee again!

I still haven't had a chance to look for the navigators yet but I will. Yesterday was my fist day back a t work and after the 8 hours there, I worked for 4 more hours at home! I don't think I will ever catch up! Have you thought about which itinery you might do? We are thinking if going to Tortola or doing a 3 night/ 4 night back to back. Absolutly torn! When I told Kailee that Cecily was going on another cruise, she said, "We're going too, right mom?" I think I have created a monster!!

 

[mindy327]

Thanks for the suggestion to post this. For all ya'll interested in reading it. Heres my trip report! Warning:Its long!

But its fun to write.

 

[Frequent Flyer]

We are thinking if going to Tortola

I'm hoping to do Tortola next!!

 

[CSwan1]

Well, I contacted my local travel agency today about the price for the Tortula cruise next may- $5032.00 for 3 of us in a catagory 6- $3700 for a catagory 12. While talking to the travel agent, she offered me a parttime job being her Disney vacation specialist!! I was speechless. I haven't given her an answer yet. With my full time+ job at school and my parttime scrap booking business, I don't know if I want to take on something else. It would be fun, though. So, anyone want to book a vacation!?!?!

While talking to the travel agent, she offered me a parttime job being her Disney vacation specialist!!

That is hillarious!! On the plane flying home I was reading an article about changing jobs. Well my job has been extremely stressful lately. I turned to my DH and said "I've got it!! I want to be a travel agent. How fun would it be to plan trips all the time!!"

I say go for it.

 

[CSwan1]

Well, I am going to talk to the owner of the travel agency on Thursday. I will be sure to let you know the outcome.

 

[CSwan1]

Thought I would post the link to my trip report if anyone is interested!

Crystal!
By the way thank you for the Navigators.
Great report! I am so jealous you get to help with the travel agency. What fun. I would think it would take up too much of your time. right? Dunno. Anyhow, I am already having withdrawals! Wanna go back. Next one, 7 day and Western! I want to go to Excaret in Mexico. That place is amazing! We went there, when Brandon and I went to Cancun and I have always wanted to go back.

Crystal!

You're Welcome! We are still looking for the May 6th one. Hopefully we will find an extra!
Great report! I am so jealous you get to help with the travel agency. What fun. I would think it would take up too much of your time. right? Dunno.
It's only going to be as much as I want to take on. I don't want to get overwhelmed. I have been talking to friends/family and I already have 4 vacations to plan. FUN!!
Anyhow, I am already having withdrawals! Me, too. Wanna go back. Next one, 7 day and Western! Us, too! When are you thinking about going???I want to go to Excaret in Mexico. That place is amazing! We went there, when Brandon and I went to Cancun and I have always wanted to go back.

The weather has been lousy since we got home. Last night it got down to 37. We are back to wearing jackets in the morinings again. Do I ever miss that Florida sunshine!!

 

[CSwan1]

I took the job with the travel agency! I am doing a Disney online training right now and hopefully I will have it done this weekend. Then I will be free to book all the travel I want!! I was absolutly giddy all night long!!
