[Madisonznana]

oh, I would love to see those pictures. We have never gone to Knotts during Halloween. Always too scary when our kids were young, and when they were older, well Mom and Dad are not that fun to hang out with!!

I can't believe no one is bouncing up and down , we are under our six month mark. Time to step up the diet efforts!!!

 

[pppiglet]

Gosh...you are right! I guess after Christmas I'm gonna start getting obsessed more and start packing! 6 months and at least 10-15lbs to go! Life just seems to keep getting in the way of me making it to my exercise classes!

 

[Madisonznana]

I'm boucncing!! And about that diet.......... I have started 3 times and I will start again. I just can't understand why all this bouncing isn't working

Hi everyone,
Just thought I introduce myself. This will be our first disney cruise
Cruising with my DH & DC4(by the time we go on the cruise).
Just wondering about the excurisions & which ones to do with a little one?

 

[CruiseBoundnKY]

Welcome Tinker

This is our first cruise as well and I have a ds that will be 4 next month that will be on the cruise. He's very excited.

I also have a dd who will be 9 at the time of cruising.

Can't wait to meet everyone.

Welcome aboard!

Hi Allison,
I am Karen and my husband Bob and our granddaughter Madison are going on our first Disney Cruise also. Madison will be 5 at the time of the cruise and I am still trying to figure out what excursions we might want to take also. She does love the water, so I am thinking beach visits will be high on the list. Are you as excited as the rest of us?

 

[tinker1420]

hi everyone,

I'm very excitied about the trip. We haven't told our daughter yet because this is for her birthday and she would just hound me everyday about it. My sister is going on the same cruise this weekend so I figure I'll ask her about it. She been on many many dis cruises!

Well everyone, I'm sad to report that my DH and I will not be joining you all on the cruise after all. Unfortunately, we have come upon some unexpected vet bills so we have to wait until 2008.

It's bittersweet for me....I was looking forward to meeting all of you or some of you and we love DC's but at the same time I am certainly grateful that I have had the opportunity to have been able to do 3 cruises, 3 yrs. in a row and don't want to have to borrow money from Peter to pay Paul and be greedy.

The Carribean will still be there in 2008...waiting for me and my DH....so will the Magic!

I wish all of you a great cruise especially for the first-timers - after it's all over you will then understand why some of us just HAVE to go back each year!

 

[pppiglet]

Sorry you are not able to go with us Lilo! I do understand about Vet bills though! We recently found a kitten and it's cost us $500 in the last 3 months! (shots, I stepped on her little leg and had to get xrays, heart murmur which is slowly getting better)

 

[KimberlyC]

Wow my email alert is definitely not working because I have not been notified of any posts in a long long time and just assumed everyone had gotten so busy. I should have been checking. So sorry! I'll wade through the last few pages of posts and get our roll call updated! I hope everyone is doing well!

Has everyone gotten airfare yet? With the budget lines having released their fares I'm thinking its just not going to get much better and I should grab what I can get and be happy its under $200 each. Any thoughts?

 

[Madisonznana]

Sorry you will not be able to come Lilo. You are lucky to have gone on 3 cruises already, I am jealous. Wouldn't it be great if we could add our pets to our medical insurance plans!

 

[KimberlyC]

Gina, sorry you won't be able to come. I understand though since I lost my job in August and am still unemployed. We thought about postponing the cruise but have decided to go ahead with it since I would like to be pregnant in 2008. I hope you have a wonderful time when you do go.

To everyone else who has joined us since I last checked in (and the list is long )
I've tried to update the roll call that appears on the bottom of the first page of this thread. I hope I got everyone. Please let me know if I missed anybody. There is still a lot of info missing though. . .

gallafamily - I have your DS's names but would you please let me know yours and your DH's names?
MickeyD (Lisa)- I am missing your DH and DS's names. I assume your DS will be about 18 when we sail since you mentioned it being a "senior trip". If I'm wrong, please let me know.
WillyDogs - Is your name Willy? Also I believe GreatWhiteNorth (Angie) is cruising solo.
loriliccapri - I am missing all the names of the folks in your party. If you could provide them, that would be great.
pacercolt - Same thing, I'm missing all the names of the folks in your party if you'd like to provide them, that would be appreciated.
tinker1420 (Allison) - I am missing your DH and child's name if you would like to provide it.

I can't believe its November already. Time flies. I haven't started packing yet, but I'm thinking about it. I even bought DH a pirate eye patch while Halloween shopping. My goal is not to misplace it or forget about it when I do start packing.

I'm so glad that our roll call is growing. I'm especially glad that more little ones have been added. Our DS will be just shy of 3 when we sail.

I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Yes , the email alert is not always working. I posted a thread on another board and when I checked the one alert I got I was 38 responses behind!

I got our airfare a few months ago just because I didn't want to play the waiting and watching game. I paid $197 one way for each of us. It's gone down to $162 last week when I checked. (Delta and AA one way non-stop flights at the times I wanted)

No problem! And no need to get nervous. We are nice and we don't bite. We don't even mind typos. The tag fairy may get you though!

I'll add you to the roll call and just update it after you've had some time to tell us more about your cast of characters!

OOOOhhhhh. I hate when that happens. I think after I book the flights I won't look anymore and that way I can't kick myself if it goes down. At least you have the flights you want. Considering such a long flight for you that is important. We aren't changing time zones and have decided not to try to squeeze in WDW so I can be a little less picky about the flight times.

As for email alert, I have given up on it and will just have to try to check in more often to keep our roll call updated.

Kimberly and all,

Sorry I haven't been on a lot, but I haven't gotten any email alerts either....so just spaced it out.

You can add my dh (Doug) and ds (Ryan, age 17) to the roll call on the front page. BUT, we might not be going because it depends on if Ryan will be attending the spring semester at the community college (he does dual enrollement)...anyway, I'll let ya know!
