Mickey's So Long Summer Cruise 2.0

Hey Michele,

The Dream looks like she is coming along. Looks like things will be kind of quiet at PC for a while since the Magic is leaving for the summer. That's why thos prices for this summer are rediculous:scared1:

Joe

We're still holding a reservation for this August... but I'm pushing it to 2011 for the discount and obc.

I only know one guy from New Jersey who's sailing this summer for a stoopid amount of money... Cigy7!!! :lmao::lmao::lmao:

For what DCL is charging I could buy my family a boat!!! Think about that!
 
I got my DCL mail also. It was nice to stop and think about our trip as it seems so far away. We are doing Universal Studios in August, but I would rather be cruising, that's for sure. We will be at Universal 8/12-8/16.

As for my job interview, it was so hard to know how I did, and I had not heard back from anyone so assumed I did not get it....but they called me on wednesday and gave me the job:banana: It's is a great opportunity, but only a temporary job for about 4 months. so things will be crazy at my house as I will be working two jobs. I am hoping this new job will lead to future permanent work in 2011. My job that I am in is only guaranteed until 2011, so I need to work on some back up options. I am going to be part of a new state organization called Quality Stars, that will rate child care centers- the higher the rating, the more funding they can get. It is a great program for child care centers- hopefully their funding will remain. ( I don't have much faith in NY's governor for some reason!)

Am hoping for a quick return of the nicer weather...it has really gotten cold out and we have gotten spoiled lately!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend...we have all been on a good run lately- up to page 5 already!!!

Congrats on getting the job! We'll be doing Universal the few days before the cruise as well! My girls are really looking forward to seeing the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

I have been out of commission for a few days because of my allergies:headache:

This spring has been rough.

I was looking at the trip report from the poster of the April 1-4, 2010 cruise and it looks like the new garage is in one of her pictures as she is approaching the ship.

It looks like it will be a little of a walk to the terminal:confused3

Great news on the job!!! I know all too well how tough this market is, way to go girl!!! What, no faith in NYS? Ain't that the truth!

This is too funny... you'll be at Universal on 8/12-8/16... We're booked at WDW 8/7-8/14 and are planning a day trip to Universal... maybe we can meet up. We're spending our week with a family we meet two years ago on DCL, we've stayed friends ever since. It's so nice to meet people like all of you...

4everluvsdisney, Audrey and Doug, are scheduled to be at WDW the same week we are. We're all booked at WL CL and didn't even know it!!! We could pull off a mini-reunion on dry land!

Hey Parlay, Nice to see you around... What's new????

Congrats on the new job:thumbsup2

Joe, don't you watch t-v news... they say this is a really bad year for allergies. Who writes that stuff... oh, wait, I do! LOL. Feel better!!

Mojo.... get moving girl!!! We need another vacation together!!!
 
My People!!

When I heard you guys were all sailing together again I said, "Not without me, they're not!

So basically I'm following you all around like a little sister, lol.

Thanks Michele for directing me here!

Now to read the thread and see what you've all been up to!

Cayley,

Welcome Aboard our tiny ship. It's not much... but you're in good company!

What I'm most excited about... POC 4 will be out when we sail! More Captain Jack for me... Drink up me hearties yo ho!!
 
SOME JUICY DETAILS ABOUT POC4...

BEIJING, April 18 -- French actress Astrid Berges-Frisbey will join the shooting of Walt Disney's film "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" and play a mermaid named Syrena in the forth "Pirates" story, Sina.com reports.

The 23-year-old actress who is a Paris native has appeared in the French films "La Fille du Puisatier," "La Premiere Etoile" and "Un Barrage Contre le Pacifique" as well as the stage play "Equus." "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" is her first English-language film.

The first three "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies were directed by Gore Verbinski, who presented the mysterious and risky adventures of Captain Jack and his mates. With actor Johnny Depp in the starring role, the films were hugely successful at box offices.

The new film is scheduled to begin shooting in Hawaii in June, followed by Los Angeles and the United Kingdom.

The lead actors of the previous "Pirates" movies-Orlando Bloom, who played Will Turner, and Keira Knightley, who played Elizabeth, will not appear in the new sequel, which will focus on Captain Jack.

Rob Marshall, known for his direction of the films "Chicago" and "Nine," will direct the new film. Johnny Depp will play Captain Jack, while Geoffrey Rush will play Hector Barbossa. Spanish actress Penelope Cruz and British actor Ian McShane will play two new characters—Black Mustache and his daughter, while British actor Stephen Graham will play "Scram". No further details about the new characters have been released.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" is scheduled for public release on May 20, 2011.

ZOMG, so am I... uh, ahem, I mean, my son is quite fond of Harry Potter as well and has been asking to go there. ;)

Unfortunately, we won't be going very far this summer as my DH is starting a new business venture. For anyone who did FE's last time we gave the kids a toy "Bean" and the adults a Bean keychain. Those are from the toy company my hubby co-owns. They pitched the idea of a potential tv show/movie/books to some "money people" last week and they said they wanted to do business. That's the reason DH said I could finally book this cruise. Well that and my constant badgering. "You know, the rooms are selling out." "You know, the price is going up." "You know, a lot of the great cruisers from our last one will be there." "You know, we could always cancel or move the date if things get tight." "You know, I'm not gonna stop til you say ok."

In the meantime we need to now work out contracts and development and other business buzzwords I can't pretend to understand. So my son and I might visit family out in AZ but otherwise we are sticking to the "staycation" this year. BUT if things go crazy with the Beans, I am booking us into somewhere in Orlando either before or after because dern it, I need to get me some of that Butterbeer from Hogsmeade. I mean, uh, my son... oh screw it. It's me.

Really!!?? I didn't know that! Thanks for the posting the great article, that's so exciting! pirate:


I realize I'm coming across very geeky today. I'll work on that in the future.
:upsidedow
 
I'M SURFING THE WEB, CAN YOU TELL..

I don't remember the Bean... do you have pics? I would love to see one.

Nothing wrong with nagging the husband... I'm always practicing on mine... but, it never seems to work!!
 
Ooh I love them! Do you think they'll still have them next year? I'm afraid to ask what something like this generally costs...

The wristlet is $46 and the bags go up to $220. I'm sure they will have them.
We got our park bags through WDW merchandise. I called before Christmas and ordered them... I wonder if you can order the cruise bags the same way? I'm always seeming posts from people ordering stuff after they get off the ship. I'm sure they will have them when we sail next summer. But, I have to admit I would look like a major dork carrying that around NYC. LOL!!

Ok, I really have to work now... there's a volcano calling my name, screwing up DCL's med plans to boot.

Peace Out!
 
You guys had quite the run going on here and I missed out on it!! It is great to see some more people onboard!! At this rate, maybe we will hit page 20 by the time we cruise:rotfl:

Yesterday we were at the Bronx Zoo with Johnny's cub scouts. Luckily the rain held off. I was dreading spending the day around smelly animals and muddy, cranky kids....but thankfully it worked out well (no alcohol was needed!)

Gillian's surgery is the 22nd and my other job starts on the 26th, so the craziness will be starting soon. Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

I am getting really excited for Universal- how great would that be to meet up!! Because of the new job, our summer treat for the kids is that after universal we will be going to the Nick Hotel for 2 days (sorry disney) It looks like so much fun- has anyone ever gone?

Michele, I was thinking of you on Friday as I was on hold for 20 minutes with SWA's corporate office in texas. For the first time, we had travel credit vouchers, I thought I had until mid Aug to use the credit, but unfortunatley I have until July 19th and they won't extend it until my August flight. the credit is only $155- I could not believe that they would not give it to me.

So, if any of you know anyone that is booking a flight on SWA prior to July 19and would be willing to buy them off of me, let me know!!

Have a great day everyone!!

JoAnn
 
Hello everyone,

Hope everyone is well. I went to the Penn Relays today. Had a great time. Had to leave early when the weather started to get cloudy and chilly.

My oldest DD's phone broke so I bought a new I phone and she got my blackberry until July when her contract renews. That child can text:scared1:
over 3,400 last month.
