November 1, 2008 "Election Day Castaways!"

[podsnel]

Hi! My husband and I were just in St John for 5 days, and on the ferry to go home via St Thomas we saw....

I have to say, it took every bit of self control I posess not to go flying overboard and swim over to her!!!!

We stayed in Charlotte Amalie for a little while before heading to the airport, and I also had to control myself when I saw all the Magic passengers at the port- I soooo wanted to run up and see if anyone was from the DIS!!!
If you like "Where's Waldo" you might enjoy this fuzzy photo taken from the plane- can you find her?

Oh podsnel... that picture is great!!! How cool to run into her out in the Carribbean, lol!!

As for Where's Waldo, is that her in the middle of the picture... kinda pointing towards 2 o'clock?

I'm getting so EXCITED!!!! We leave for WDW in 3 days ! I'm loving this leaving on Monday thing. I've got the whole weekend to pack and prepare, which means I'm so not stressed out right now, lol. I've got everything bought, just need to do a few loads of laundry and put everything in suitcases. We're driving down, so no need to pack light this time

Boys Papa...You've been added to the "Election Day Castaways" list on page 1. I think I have everybody now, but if I missed someone please let me know!

Podsnel...Great pics!

I admit to peeking on the Cruise Critic boards. They also have a role call section buy you have to register to be able to access the specific trip role calls.

I know some people do both boards, but after looking I definitely like the Disboards better.

Sooooo, is anybody registered on Cruise Critic that has taken a peek into their role call thread for our sailing????? If so, extend them an invitation to join our thread.

YES! That's her, pointing towards 2:00!!! The guy in front of me (on the ferry) lived on St John on a sailboat, and he thought she was beautiful- so much more so than all those other ships there that day (there were 7!!!!!). I have to say, I agreed!!

You will have the BEST time in WDW, I am sure- and am so excited for you. That is nice to be able to drive down after a weekend of relaxed preparing- you will arrive refreshed and ready to ROCK! Good luck with your laundry and have a ride on Expedition Everest for all of us! Can't wait to hear all about it-

 

[podsnel]

Handsome Lad!! They should all have a ball.

Thank-you! And I am absolutely sure they will have a ball!!

the girls don't have a clue.

We did ask them at Christmas what their favorite vacations are and they said they want to go to WDW, Hilton Head NC and some day go on a cruise.

Oh, what a surprise we have in store for them.

In case anyone is on the waitlist for early dining, it is now available. I checked on the website and saw that early dining was available and called DCL and they were able to move me from late to early dining. Even though I was waitlisted they didn't automatically move me, so you may want to call to check.

Did you read the 10 from Texas trip report? It reminds me of you! I don't know HOW you can keep quiet around the kids! I'm talking about it all the time, they all think I've gone nuts!

Do you know when you're going to tell them? Or how?

I love suprising kids with trips!
We have brought our two oldest God Children over the past couple of years, and next year we are suprising their sister with a land and sea vacation.
The boys we took to WDW only, so she knows that "one day" we will take her too. She "knows" she has to be at least 9 and that we take them to WDW and maybe Sea World. Hee hee. She will actually be 8 and a half and we will be cruising and doing the parks.

It will be good for DH to have a "girly" trip. So far its been all boy stuff when we take kids. Now he gets to eat with princesses!

 

[nobodycares]

That was very nice of you MSMinnieMouse to post the information about the early seating being available.

 

[plutospup]

It's been one year since we booked this cruise! Happy Anniversary to all who booked on "Day 1"!

BTW...any Webkinz fans out there. DD10 has been the Webkinz fanatic since Christmas!

 

[feenie]

We are amonth that group that waited not so patiently for the 2008 dates to be released!
We had booked a dummy cruise on board our 2006 cruise so they transfered our reservation to "our" week

I wanna go now!!! We had freezing rain yesterday, and bad weather again tomorrow.

 

[bfosbenner]

I emailed our rep at Dreams Unlimitted and she got us first seating also!

Last year at this time our family was getting ready to leave for our Disney cruise. We have been on the Disney cruise for the Super Bowl the last two years. This year I will be celebrating in my familyroom. How depressing! Oh well good things come to those who wait right?
