November 11, 2006 - MAGIC - Special Western "Double Dip" Cruise 11/11/06

[michelle9343]

To all of our Northern friends..BURRRRRR....I can not believe all the snow. Here in Florida it is freezing. I have frost on my car for the 1st time since I moved here. Tonight the Orlando area is expected to go below 30 and Miami might break it record for all time low. Stay warm everyone.

This is the left coast double-dippers some to you folks on the other side of the country! (I'm the one holding the baloon!)

 

[dizney-cruiser]

hey pat!! do you have a date for the august repo? dsis gets her vacation time restocked each august - so it would depend on when in the month it occurs

i already convinced her to do wdw in april 2007 so i already used up all her aug 2006 - aug 2007 vacation time!

Thank-you Jackie! We didn't get but a few flurries, but I think the more northern cruisers got walloped. Hope you all are doing well and keeping warm.

Hi Janice! The rumor-mill has the Magic leaving for the repositioning on August 18th. But so far its just rumor (very good rumors, though )

 

[schwaja3]

schwaja3 Jack and DH Debra and DS 11 & 8 and 7 families from town

I'm not sure who handles this list, but I have a couple of corrections. First, my family is myself (Jack) and my wife Debra.

Also, I was wrong on the count of families we have. We are now up to 11 families total. At last count, we have 54 people coming on this cruise.

I think we are going to need our own dinning room!

Jack

 

[faireygod mother]

Pat do not say one word about me. Did you see how many schwaja3 has. That is double my family. Now will you list all of my family?

Lets talk about this repo. Where is this repo, repoing to/from? Inquiring minds want to know.

Thinkin' about the AUGUST Repo...is it too soon to start a new thread?

Like she said...supposedly August 18-Sept 1, 2007​

Yes, I noticed that schwa....she DOES have more than you

......and we are hoping to repo from Europe back to Florida - 2 week cruise - in August 2007....not official YET!!!
Allegedly going over to Europe in May for the 15th anniversary of Disneyland paris.....all rumors of course but some are more reliable than others..... ​

Took the kids on a cruise test-run, so to speak, this morning. It was supposed to be whale watching, but they were MIA, so it turned into a seagull, sea lion, and many, many playful dolphin watching cruise. Calm, calm waters...sunny skies (yes, some people were wearing shorts!)...it was great. I was anxious about the kids "constitutions," but they handled the little bit of motion just fine...kept eating! Now, I want to get on that much bigger boat in November!

Yes, it's silly, but having not even been on one cruise, we're toying with one of the repos, too. DH wants to be able to say he's sailed across both the Pacific (done many times) and the Atlantic. Keeping on a watch out...

Is it warming up in the Northeast at all, yet?

Hi Everyone...

Found you on page 2

After lengthy discussion we won't be booking on this cruise. Just too many factors working in the negative. We'd like to spend a week at WDW before or after and it's not possible with Jersey Week and Thanksgiving sandwiched in between the cruise date.

Also seriously considering the Transatlantic Med Cruise. Thanks for making us feel welcome. Jack was interested with the other families that he has coming in doing the poker game. Carolyn, if you're interested in still doing a poker game (or Jack), send me a pm and I'll tell you how to set it up

Have a great time guys!

Deb

 

[faireygod mother]

Well Deb we will miss you and hope you will find a cruise that works for you.

Hi everybody, just checking in - had 12 inches of snow in Philly - anticipating the double dip even MORE!!! My dog, Jack Sparrow, enjoyed his first taste of snow, and, rightly so, he seems to prefer the weather of the CARIBBEAN - ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tried to talk my brother into going with me but his "wife" won't let him, ha. Guess I'll have to hook up with the "double scoop troop" for some of the excursions. Anybody line up anything yet?

 

[faireygod mother]

No excursions set here yet. I am certain we will try to snorkel at least. I had thought about visiting the ruins, but have not really given it anymore thought than that.

 

[SueEllen]

Hi again everyone. Whew--busy time here so I haven't had much time to post (I'll catch up with you all eventually) I am so looking forward to this cruise (and some WARM weather.) I have a lot of reading and catching up to do with you all. I haven't even had time to post here since getting back from WDW and riding Expedition Everest last month (which is awesome I might add!) I hope to get some more time to spend here soon (after we slow back down--this is definitely busy time for work and I LOVE it.)

So how long is it now? 9 months--woo hoo.

Sorry I missed it...hope u all had a happy V day......my car broke down...I got towed...didn't get home until almost 10 ....

today is a better day...and one less day until our cruise

 

[CJLKIM]

Sorry I missed last night's chat. It was really busy here. Heather had a girl scout meeting and we didn't get home until quite late...then dinner...you now how it is. I was going to make a birthday cake to take to work today but decided sleep last night was more important.

So this morning I stopped and bought birthday doughnuts...they were just as good as a cake would have been. Shouldn't have really eaten either.... but I deserved it...right?

Tonight I went to a candle party...without the kids....a b-day bonus. Jeff's not in town so really yesterday and today just seemed like any other day. We'll most likely do something when he gets home next week...if he's actually home for any amount of time.

Hope everyone had a good V-Day.

 

[faireygod mother]

Well Kris belated Happy Birthday
