We just returned from the May 6th sailing and rebooked for May 5th 2007. It will be Dh and I and our 3 children; DD8, DS7 and DD5 (who will all be a year older when we travel of course!).


We are very excited to be going back but not too excited about needing the passports this time. Yikes! We better start saving for those.

Hey Kimberly...how did the friday night chat go? I've never done that before.

And welcome also to Married2Grumpy. I'm married to a Grumpy too!

Hey Kimberly...how did the friday night chat go? I've never done that before.

It went well. Its nice chatting with people in real time. I was fashionably late, of course. I always try to get a few things done around the house after DS goes to bed and before I get on the computer so I don't think I've ever been on time. They are supposed to be changing it so that it works better (less lag time). I won't be in chat this Friday. I'll be in Tampa at a Devil Rays game. (DH Loves Baseball). Saturday, WDW here we come!

I'm married to Bashful!

Hi All!! We booked this cruise on our May 20th 2006 cruise. I feel a little leary of cruising so soon but my mom and sister and her kids booked and I didn't want to be left out!! Before this last vacation we really haven't been on a true vacation in over 5 years. We planned out last cruise for 1 yr and 9 months so that is alot of time to save compaired to less then a year!! I totally loved the cruise and it is so easy to rebook while onboard but then once you get home and real life sets back in the "rebooking remorse" is going on strong. Anyway, here is the list of who's who:
My family-- Me, dh, ds5, dd 3(hopefully club-bound!!), my mom, my sister, her dd11, ds8, ds4 and mabey her MIL. Total of 5 adults and 5 kids.

I'm trying to keep us all straight. Lets see...there is Kim Kirk (Florida Kim), KimSue68 aka Kim Sue's Mom (S. Jersey Kim) and I guess that makes me, KimberlyC, (Michigan Kim).

Welcome S.Jersey Kim and Babs!

Ok, so here's the Roll Call so far (in order of appearance). I tried to put the kids' ages at cruise time if I could tell from the posts that they would be older next May. If I missed anybody, or if info is missing, please feel free to let me know that you would like the roll call updated.

I'll edit my first post (bottom of pg 1 but may be bumped to pg2 depending on the length now) to post the roll call so that people dont have to scroll so far to see who is cruising.

Great job Kimberly....I was just thinking to myself last night that I needed to start making a list to keep everyone straight. It does help alot! Great idea on the editing too!

 

[The Kirks]

Thanks MI KIMBERLY It's nice to know where everyone is from! How is everyone tonight? I am watching that Dateline episode on sexual predators in Ft. Myers, FL. It's scary, I live in FT. Myers! Okay, I don't want to be Ft. Myers FL Kim anymore Have a good night everyone!
Sherri-Kaylin will send an e-mail shortly. She has a big go-kart race this weekend in Ocala and has been busy preparing. Just did'nt want 'ya to think we forgot about her!

No problem. I'm addicted to the DIS (planning freak and insomniac that I am) so I'll try to update the Roll Call frequently. I think we are doing pretty good - 10 Disers and their families so far (and 30% of us are named "Kim"). its expecially nice considering it took DCL so long to admit on their website that this cruise existed.

I'm excited to cruise with my fellow Disers, Kim's and non-Kim's alike!

And to S. Jersey Kim, my lil guy will be 5 weeks shy of 3. I'm hoping he's potty trained. If so, he'll be able to play in the club with your DD

 

[LostGirls]

Welcome KimSue68! Forget about the rebooking remorse - I wish we would have when we cruised May 2005!
It's me, DH 44, DD 9 and DD 5 (ages when we cruise) and my parents too! Let me tell you, we could use some sun here in the Great Northwest! Can anyone send some our way???

 

[kimsue68]

KimC-- I hope I have better luck with the kids clubs then I did with Flounders!! I put my dd in there 1 time and she had a total meltdown!! It was bedtime anyway, so she did go right to sleep (probably tramatized!!) so it was ok but I felt so awful. In her defense, she thought that her brother was going to be in there, it was bedtime, and last but not least, I could count on one hand how many times that she has been left with a sitter!! I tried so hard to get my dd potty trained for this trip but she wasn't having it!! If she isn't trained by next May I will cry!!

 

[The Kirks]

LostGirls-I would love to send you some sun, but you have to take the humidity too! EVeryone here seems to be already getting very stressed about hurricane season! Our patients are already leaving town and our work is going through a planning stage which is making everything very stressful(my work is about 1/2 mile from the beach in Naples, which I never get to see!) Kimberly-I am also a fellow planning freak! Have a great day everyone! And a great weekend, we will be leaving tomorrow for Ocala for the last big state championship race of the season! Wish her luck!

The older DS gets the more I think he will not like Flounders. I've seen pics and he outgrew those toys long ago. He's a spiderbaby so he needs something big to climb on and big toys to play with. I started casually introducing him to the potty and he went a few times back in April, but until he's 2 and in the 2 yr old room daycare doesn't do potty training so we weren't really trying. Plus he saw his own poo and he didn't want to go after that. I figure I have 11 months to train him. I don't care as much about the club because we can go with him regardless of age but if he can't go in the pool we'll be witnessing a major meltdown ourselves. In that case, I'll be crying too.

OT: Has anyone been having problems with the server being busy or the Dis freezing? I couldn't edit last night for that reason and even today its giving me busy notices a lot.
