Hi Irene!

Your siggie pic is adorable! How do you pronounce your daughter's name, Meisi? Is it like May-see?

I see we're going to have a ton of Dis-kids on this cruise, how cool is that!

Robin, our teen kids are going to have lots of company.

Louise, hi baby! Finally a nice longish post from you. See, everyone, she's a Disney nut like us. Lou, I was so happy to see your post. And what's this about a gold dress? Details, please!

Aisling is such a Mom with Chad, be sure to reassure her that you two will be fine without her, Ok?

Tig, you know me well, my friend.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Morning All!

Ah, so no twins...that's ok, they are absolutely adorable. The converse's on all of them make the outfits!

and yes Aisling, I m proud to say I know you that well

Make sure Louise follows up on that Poly ressie ok?

Just checking in before I go to work~

Have a great day all

Hi cruise gang,

my Chad has the flu! I just got back from the MDs with him. This is the third day with a fever, ranging from 101 to 103, and I thought this is more than just a cold. So I called the MD and he said bring him right in. My poor baby, his body is aching something awful. The doc said he'll be ok in 3 or 4 more days, but if the fever gets any higher than 102, I need to bring him back. I got Jesse a flu shot a few months ago when he was there for his regular physical, and the doc asked if I wanted the shot for him, so I said sure. Usually I never get my kids flu shots (Mel and I never get them, either), because we never have the flu. But from now on, flu shots every year. Doc also said if you have flu symptoms (fever, body aches), there's a shot called Tamaflu (spelling) that can cut the flu down to half it's length if taken on the first day of symptoms. So I'll remember that if Mel or I start feeling sick.
Anyway, he'll be ok with lots of TLC. I'm just counting my blessings that it's only the flu, and notpneumonia or worse. And I'm so grateful that he got this now, instead of next week or the next, because he and Louise are leaving for Disney on the 30th. If she catches it from him, she must have it in her system by now, and she'll also be done with it in time. He's 21 years old, but it still feels the same for me as when he was a baby. Tiggie, you know exactly what I mean.

Other than that, life is good, thank God.

Hope you all are well. {{{Hugs}}}

Good Evening all!

How is everyone doing on this frigid N.Y night?

Hi Irene! I'm new to this group as well...but i heard they are quite a bunch; so i am excited to get to know everyone a little bit better

Aisling, i can't believe he has the flu... But with a mom like you he will be back to normal in no time. Although, we both know he likes the attention, so he might not want to get beter too quick Between me and you he really gets treated like a king =)

Tig, i have not called the poly yet but i def need to get on that..thanks for looking out

As for the gold dress...it was a choppy knee length sparkley gold halter. It came to a slight V in the middle and had a cute clasp in the center...fitted up top and flowed at the waist...i am trying to search for a picture but no luck =(

 

[tiggerwannabe]

It's sounds very pretty...

I'm sending prayers and pixie dust your baby gets better soon Aisling...and Louise, you called the attention part-they know how to suck it up when they get it don't they

 

[nskjerven]

I just looked up and saw my beer mugs DCL style....Right after sail away my Diser friend Tigg and I got ourselves a beer (in those big mugs) and wander the ship. It was heaven....no kids, no husband, just a girl friend wandering around this totally cool place we got to call home for a week.

Oh I can't wait.....14 months is too long....(you should come to panama with me....not wait another 6 months.....)

I think I need to find a filler cruise...maybe just me & Paul (or me and one of my girlfriends.....anyone anyone???) can sneak away....hmmm the kids might just kill me for thinking that outloud....

 

[nskjerven]

Aisling....to Chad....feel better soon....do what your mama tells you....she is right....

Considering how difficult it will be to get John on one cruise...

I may volunteer to go with you solo....

Aisling? Anyone else? Those cabins sleep four ya know~

Sometime next summer?

~Alls I need is my Beer Mug and my Camera~

Hi All,

My DH and I just got off of the Magic on 2/24/07 and will be joining all of you for the NYE cruise 12/27/08. We will be bringing our 16 yr old son and I am hoping that our 26 & 22 yr old sons will be joining us as well. We have stateroom 5024 with the blocked window but at least we are paying an inside rate and have some light coming through. We are very excited about the cruise and I'm sure this thread will keep me going until we cruise. Sounds like we have a great group of people going.

Does anyone know if there is still availabilty or if this cruise is already full?

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I just tried to do a reservation on Disney's cruise site and it didn't say sold out...



I am sure it will as the day gets closer tho...I am totally looking forward to cruising during the New Year's Holiday. Christmas was quite special and I am thinking New Year's will be even moreso~

Was your last cruise for your honeymoon bride2007?

Hi Debbie!

There are still staterooms available for this cruise.
We have sons around the same ages, I see! Did you book onboard? I think maybe you were having such a fantastic time, you probably couldn't help it but to book another cruise! Have you read through this whole thread yet? You're right about this being a great group of people.


Tig and Nan, thanks for your well wishes to Chad. And by the way, don't tempt me with a cruise-before-the-cruise! I'm already poor-house bound as it is!

Sorry Aisling, but if I'm goin, you're going!!!

We can ride to the poor house together~

Just think, it'll only be for one person, and we won't do a holiday cruise-those two reasons alone should drop the cost dramatically

Aisling, I know this is off topic, but did you know you and DU are sitting together at the meet and you are both from Brooklyn?

We did book on board. We were having a great time and we should have since it was our honeymoon. However, we did miss formal night because DH was sea sick. He promises that next time he will listen to his wife and take the Bonine before we board.

I just talked to our older son (mine) and he is very interested as long as I do all the leg work. That's OK as long as they go and we can spend some time together as a family.

The 16 yr old is my DH's and the two older boys are mine. I'm surrounded by men and would love to have a girl in the mix. The only way that will happen is if one of them gets married and I can wait for that!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

We will have: (ages right now)

18yo DD
20yo DSsgirlfriend
21yo DS
Acts younger than she is Mom (my Mom)
Hubby and Me
:in our crew

My husband is afraid to get seasick and keeps telling us "he's not going!" I told the kids not to worry cause I will get him on that boat. If he can't handle it, as I said earlier, I will gladly fly him home. I want him to at least try to sail with us and not just bail out, out of fear of something that may happen.

There are alot of girls in the collective group cruising with you, I'm sure we can steal you away for some "girl time" during the cruise

Hi BeLLa! (Nice of you name yourself after my motorcycle )

Ahh... Grim what a B-E-A-UTIFUL name to give your bike

Well Good Morning all!! I woke up this morning and was super excited because i saw a commercial for WDW... and with our trip coming up (chad and i) it just made me start thinking how fast time flies...we will be on the ship in no time

Yesterday i received my 2007-2008 DCL planning video in the mail...Can't wait to watch it!

Tig- I called Disney about the Poly papers and they said they don't know why i never received it, but she put in another request for one...She also told me that it is ok if i don't have the confirmation paper because my ressie is fine in their computers...should i trust her or keep pressing for a confirmation?? I'm not sure what to do.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Yes! It sounds like your ressies are fine...

I saw Aisling had issues with her Cali confirmation but said she found BOTH copies in her junk mail pile. You are allowed to ask them to fax it to you if you don't get the latest copy they promised you before you go.
