It is always good to be serious & a little down. Then you have a new high to strive for. We are here for you.
My only Disney holdover will be in July. Allyssa (my other Granddaughter) & I are going to celebrate her cheerleading & my skating.
Can't we start our countdown now?

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Fr Casey always has my prayers with him

Well, we are one step closer to being official...

We got one of the cabins Mom wanted so it looks like we'll be in 7620 and 7622 as of tomorrow~

I have fortunately got DL in May and WDW in December but then I'll be on a Disney Fast so I can get the cruise paid off in October 2008...

Nan and I are over on my pre-trip thread hammering out the details of Brittany and my arrival on the 24th of May in San Jose~

and, of course, I'll be at the Disney Fans Gathering July at Camp Hill!

and yes Mom, you can startyour countdown for July, want me to make you a ticker? Just tell me what colors front and back...

Some prayers from Ohio for Father Casey and some pixie dust too

Hi,

We are joining you on the NYE cruise. This will be our 4th NYE cruise. We sailed in 02-03, 03-04 and 06-07. For the first time we will be having another family join us. I am looking forward to sharing all the wonderful things about the cruise with them. We are on deck 7 this time too. It sure seems like a long way off but half the fun is in the planning.

Our crew
Myself - Ami
DH Dave
DD who will be 8 when we cruise ( I can't believe how old my kids will be by the next tiem we sail)
Ds will be 5

Our Friends
Cindi and Tim
Their DS 8 and DD 6

It looks like this will be a little bigger DIs group. In the past it seems like the Dissers aren't as active on the NYE sailings

Ami

Hi Ami, welcome to the Really Excited Cruisers New Year's Eve thread!
It's going to be fun to have you all these next two years to share the planning and excitement with.

Jill, Tig, and Robin, thank you sincerely for the prayers. I can't say anymore about it right now, or else I'll get all emotional!

Tiggie, is the July Meet called Magic Meets? I think I made a mistake calling it that in my last post.

Did you get the deck 7 obstructed verandah troom hat's basically a "cat. 6 for a cat. 7 price"? If so, congratulations! Those are as hard to get as the secret porthole rooms!

Ami, how are you handling all the snow? My mother lives in Rome, NY, and she says it's pretty bad.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Yes ma'am we did

Mom knew the numbers and I only had to ask if the room could be changed...and they did

Aisling:

Thoughts and prayers to you & Father Casey.

Hindsight....I'm glad I made the cruise when I did (right before my dad passed) as I told you guys back then the support when I got home and continuing supporty from you my dear friends is what helped get me thru the really rough patches.

I know I don't need to say it, but enjoy the time you have as you never know when or what will call us home.

Ok back at ya!

LYMI,

N

p.s. off topic....one of our dear friends from the "playgroup" is trying to get on the now sold out WB repo. I'm so jazzed send them pixie dust.

 

[Aisling]

Thanks Nan.

To all the NYE 2008 cruisers/lurkers: 4 families posting here all know eachother from meeting on our last cruise, the Christmas 2005, so there is a lot of familiar chit chat going on. But PLEASE don't feel left out of the loop, post and let's become friends. We're all in the same boat afterall! There's no obligation for us to be stuck together like glue on the cruise if you don't want to (Nan, would you please let go of my leg!!), but we all have the freedom/option to get together as much or as little as we feel.

I just don't want you to feel like "OMG if I start posting, these people will never leave me alone on the cruise!"

And now for my daily exercise.

 

[nskjerven]

but I like your leg....did you just get waxed? (chad overt your eyes)

now time to get our hair done...okay we can stop for a shot on the way...okay 2 but that's my limit....unless there's rummmmmmm yummmmmm.

isn't it too early in the morning for this kind of chatter from me.

but seriously folks....we don't bite and we love to have a party, so join in

 

[grimgrinnin]

As far as countdowns, we have:
Disneyland in May
WDW at BCV this Christmas with the inlaws
WDW at AKV Spring or Summer 2008 (possibly with my parents)
DCL on NYE 2008/2009


That's about 1 trip every 6 months, so the wait shouldn't be too bad...


Anyone a certified scuba diver? I'm thinking about getting certified for this cruise.

grim

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I have a friend who is certified, but I alas am not~

I've thought about it but never "took the plunge."

(today must be pun day)

I hear you can get certified at your local Y~

Shots??? Do I hear shots???? I'm in!!!

I may even let the hairdresser do my hair this time instead of just having them fix what I do to it

My son's girlfriend (Cate) or Chad's girlfriend Louise will probably want to do Molly's hair for her this time. I have a feeling Molly is going to cling to those two like she did my Mom the last cruise

 

[nskjerven]

do you think Louise and Cate can hang with that idea???? You and Jill were and are oh so paitent with my little cliggy girl....you had practice with your own...I hate to have her overwhelm the girl friends...and remember Miss Piper I think will be a bit of a captivation too....

 

[trinibjill]

Cate is a sweetheart & I'm absolutely sure she would be great with the kids.

Oh, by the way people think my humour is KORNY. Y'all have me topped for the day.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I absolutely KNOW Cate will be great with all the kids

And Louise is a teacher...how can you be a teacher and not like kids

It's always easier for us, cause as you know-at the end of the day, they go home with YOU!

Well, our deposit has been submitted

No confirmation just yet but we are paid~~~

Sailin, sailin, over the ocean blue...

[Aisling]

Shots??? Do I hear shots???? I'm in!!!

I'm bringing a friend on this cruise...she loves to drink!

 

[trinibjill]

You dirty rat (James Cagney)

Hey, my friend resents that remark, she had a bath in the toilet this morning! OMG I have to stop!

ha ha ha ha

 

[nskjerven]

IS THAT RAT REALLY YOURS??????

EWWWWWW GROSS!!!!!!


okay, more rats to go around. That friend that I told you who wants to book the repo, they also have rats. They thought a boy and a boy, but no the 2nd one is a girl and now my friend is planning on fixing the boy so they don't have baby rats. Mind you these things sell for 7.99-9.99 each. Can't even begin to think what fixing a rat might cost. She'll get along great with us don'tchathink????
