[IceSk8ersMom]

I'm a little stressed about FE's
I usually can think of something clever, but I am all tapped out. Back to School is stucking me dry. I hope the creative juice start following soon.

We are all checked in, and good to go with Palo and SPA treatments
I am so excited that we are finally gold so our window will open sooner for our Fanasty cruise next year.

We will be going to NYC for September 11th. We are attending the dedication cermony. My BIL is a survivor. He was at ground zone when the towers fell so my DH and I are accompanying my sister and BIL on this trip. I will post pictures when I get back.

Questions:

1-Is Thanksgiving a formal night?
2-Will the Christmas decorations be up?
3-Who else is counting the days until our cruise?

Let's get the party started. I want my DTOD!!!!!

Take care and talk to you soon

 

[IceSk8ersMom]

Tip: Buy your DOTD at the bar rather than the waiters walking around with them. They are more fresh and colder. And the waiters walking around with them add on an automatic tip.
And ya gotta love the BYOB!

Thanks for the advice. We need to meet at the Quiet Cove for a DOTD or maybe a few. Afterall, we will be on VACATION!

Thanks for organizing us, Chicogirl! I appreciate it!

Why wait until then? We are at DL weekly, and can meet there before cruise time. This week we tried The Kitchen Sink in the Paradise Pier Hotel. If you haven't tried it, you MUST! Also, viola, the crowds have gone home for school, and evenings are great there,
We are on the Fantasy in June, when are you scheduled to go?

Our Fantasy cruise is in August of 2012.

I love Halloween Time at DL. We should get together then, and since there are a lot of us from SoCal, we should arrange a pre cruise meet. It would be great to do it in late September or early October
I have not experienced Kitchen Sink, but would love to try it. We enjoy hanging out at Ariel's Grotto.

October 14th is a pupil free day at one of my boys schools...I may have a bunco weekend to crestline that weekend, but what does anyone think about meeting that day at the dlr?

We usually get there when it opens and do dl until 10am then goto ca adven until noon then walk over to espn zone for lunch and then leave around 1:30 to 2. We could change our usual plans....my mom, not going on cruise would probably come also.

I also luv the dlr at Halloween...beautiful!


Let me know what y'all think.

Hugs, Andrea

Oct. 14 is a school day for us, so we could meet after school, around 4pm.

My other son has Fall Break Oct3-7, We have a block out day on the 7th so could go 3, 4, 5, or 6th?

This would probably be a better week for us. Do you have a Fall Break before Thanksgiving Break?

We're on traditional school year, so no Fall Break. My daughter is in private school and I work for Long Beach Unified, so we have a few different days off, including THANKSGIVING WEEK! Last year we had furlough days, and had the entire week off, which is why I booked this trip. Just saw our schedule and now I only have the Thursday and Friday of that week off. Oh well, that's why I've saved up all my vacation days, I guess.

Yep, we have furloughs at our school district, Newhall School District, also. Even with great financial planning last year and this year we have furloughs. No layoffs though...so that is good. Well, let me look at more dates, we have block out days, so will have get back to you in the next couple days. Hugs, Andrea

October 10 is Columbus Day, no school for DD. We could be there as early as 1:30 for a Meet & Greet.

I have school too. The 14th works for me around 4 pm. I would love to do a meet. I am totally in as long as it is not Homecoming at my DD's school.

I do not get Columbus Day off. I also have a board meeting that evening. We are honoring our CST 600 students

 

[IceSk8ersMom]

From all the postings, it appears that we have many educators sailing on our cruise. That is fabulous. I am an AP at a elementary school. We start school tomorrow.

Good luck to all you, and I wish you all the best for a fantastic 2011-2012 school year.

We can meet 10/14 in the afternoon also. We were there this morning, and may go back tonight for World of Color. It was not crowded at all, but HOT early on. Funny thing, we ran into our table mates from our last Disney cruise. We had so many little girls the same age on our cruise, and we became very close with a lot of the families. 10 nights on a ship makes quick friends. Many of us enjoyed the Princess Tea together.

 

[deebs]

we are paid in full now, but the hubby decided not to go.
I'm sailing with DS8 and DD10.

Does anyone know which night is formal night, pirate night etc?

Thanks!! Getting excited!!

My DH will be out of the country so we're traveling w/o him. And DS, 20, who was with us on the last Disney cruise, apparently thinks we're too boring to travel with, so he is opting to stay home, too. Hmph, if I was offered a free cruise...(finish this line for me!)

Don't remember if it was mentioned before, The Muppets movie will be premiering Thanksgiving week, so most likely it will be shown on the ship then also.

We just decided to go on this cruise TODAY! We did have a trip booked to go to WDW right before Christmas w/ the Free Dining, but I check DCL periodically and came across a great price w/ the Kids Sail Free offer. So we had a family meeting and decided to go and do this cruise instead of going to WDW @ Christmas time. Needless to say, we're all VERY excited! & Ya know what is even better, my DH and I are actually on the Magic on the November 11th sailing as a belated anniversary trip (our anniversary is next weekend)! LOL! & We just booked that trip this week too! So it's like he and I will have B2B's, although they're on different ships and on opposite sides of the country. LOL! Still, we're VERY excited!!! Lucky it worked out that the MR cruises depart on a Sunday or else we wouldn't have been able to do both.

Just thought I'd pop in and say 'Hi!'

If anyone knows the dining rotations for this sailing and the attire rundown for each night, if you could post it for me so I don't have to read all 12 pages of the thread, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!!!

We are definitely in for the FE! Just ordered the hanging fish extender today. We are traveling with a non DIS family and I will be checking with them this week to see if they'd like to participate as well.

Now I have a few questions regarding FE gifts. Do people usually give things geared towards the kids or do most people do two things, something for the kids and another thing for the adults?
