HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO TUGMOM (Pat) AND HER DH, TOM !!!!!!!!!

 

[clynne]

would be nice to share. Carolyn, months ago I did some research on a limo but couldn't find a price for a two resort stop...it was pretty darn pricy as it was. Let me know if it's something you still want to consider or if you've decided to pass on that idea.

You know, it would be fun, but we've changed our plans a bit. We're flying into MCO Tuesday. Staying 3 nights at Wilderness Lodge and, then, Friday night at the Radisson at the Port. We really liked the idea of no real driving the morning of the cruise. Couldn't believe the Radisson is already taking reservations for the shuttle... Anyhow, no limo from WDW for us, sorry to say...we'll meet you all at the terminal!

Milestone in our house, DH actually asked a question about the cruise without me initiating the conversation. I think...maybe, just maybe...he's starting to get excited... He wants to know what we're doing in Cozumel.
Unfortunately, I have no idea!! Anybody?? Help...

Carolyn

 

[Vanvmom]

We don't have any excursions planned at this point for Cozumel either. We are doing the ruins tour in Costa Maya with David and Ivan. Thinking of parasailing in CC...

 

[clynne]

Wendy, I was so excited to book David and Ivan for Chaccoben that it's been hard to focus on anything else... I'd love to try parasailing on CC. I've never done that before...trying to convince DS that it's perfectly safe and, maybe, even fun...

How many days until DH is home???

Jackie and Peggy, are you still heading out to DL this month? The weather is beautiful today! (Ok, we're a little south of Anaheim, but close enough...)

Carolyn

 

[Vanvmom]

Looks like we'll be in the DL area the last weekend in June. Was hoping for earlier (like sometime this month) but that didn't pan out. We're visiting family in June, but maybe we can squeeze in a day at DL....

How many days until DH is home???

Carolyn

I forgot to mention earlier... he came home today! Good timing too... I pulled a "grace in action" move today (I excell in those!). I tripped at work due to a slight "drop foot" I have. Fell fast, full force smack onto the heel of my left palm, second place to hit was my right knee. Glad no one saw me... I'm sure it looked a bit scarey! Anyway, right knee is pretty bruised, and left hand hurts a lot! Too weak to grip things well, hurts to bend wrist inward, swelling on the top of my hand between ring finger and pinky. My typing the left hand is now hunt and peck method (looks pretty funny). Good thing teachers don't have to type much. Funny thing is that my arm is bruised too about 2 inches up my arm from my wrist, and I don't even remember my arm hitting anything. Sure am glad DH is home now so he can help out with the stuff I'm now gimpy doing. Well, time to go ice my hand and take more ibuprofen.

Happy Anniversary Pat and Tom!

Wendy....ouch! Glad your sweetie is home to take care of you. Maybe you'd better get that looked at, OK?

Carolyn, no Disneyland, no Las Vegas for us girls this month. Now we think we'll do a weekend in San Diego a littler later as a getaway from the heat I have some left-over time share points from last year I need to use up.

I, too, want to parasail at CC. I'm thinking I should book it for our first stop and save the second visit (and last day of the cruise ) for total veg-out day. I wonder what the earliest time is for that? Better check it out. I think Peg is considering the stingrays and I'll do that again with her if she does it.

Well, better check in on the LOST threads.....tonight's episode was SUPER.

Hi to all the New Jersey folks!

 

[dizney-cruiser]

hello again!!! ok - just for ibouncetoo . . .


6 months til we cruise !!!!

oh - and i forgot to mention - we are booked at the radisson the night before and are flying out of philly bright and early friday morning - we plan to enjoy that pool!!

 

[shelwoj]

We are driving in the day before and staying at the new Residence Inn. I have seen postings that they will let you leave your car parked there. The cab ride would be super cheap, so it was a no brainer. I am hoping that we can drive all the way there Thursday night/Friday morning without stopping so that we have time to relax at the hotel. They have a fantastic complimentary breakfast so we won't have to go anywhere Saturday before the terminal. I am SO excited!

 

[niccic]

WOO HOO SIXTH MONTHS TO GO

Lets hope if goes by real fast i was wondering if i could get some help i've been Reading the boards inside and out and i'm worried that when we catch the disney bus on saturday morning that we will get to the port to late does anyone have any advise they can give me? what is the 1st bus that leave MCO? I would love to get a car to pick us up and take us but my DH is all about having everything done in one place, less stress he says. I dont know about that though......

 

[jjgarv]

Hello, my name is Dave...and I'm a lurker.

Less than six months sounds so much better than 184 days.

 

[faireygod mother]

jjgav congrats on the baby and have a nice cruise. Will look forward to you trip report.

Welcome all you lurkers. It is nice that you posted. We would welcome any comments that you may have. I have found that everyone has something to share. Sometimes the questions that others ask gets the rest of us new info.

Ibouncetoo...do you have both the old and new passporter? I am trying to decide if it is worth getting the new one. Please let me know.

6 months, wow. I have waited for this since 10/30/05 when we re-booked on the Halloween Cruise. It has gone by rather quickly so far.

It is now time to start looking at shore excursions. We want to snorkel and maybe see the ruins. I just need to figure out which stop is the best for snorkeling.

As for the para sailing, MY DH, DB, Dsis and DSS all loved it. I have never done it as I am sure people on the ground would think it was an eclipse when I got up there.

If anyone has any first hand experience on the snorkeling on the western Carib please share.

Well have a great day all.

 

[ibouncetoo]

niccic, I think the first bus (you're staying at the Hyatt @ MOC, right?) is around 9:30. Several of our group are staying there also and I'm sure someone who knows FOR SURE will post here. But don't worry, you'll be there in plenty of time and LONG before those of us coming on the busses from the WDW resorts (we'll get in around 1:30ish).

Wojo, six months does sound better then 184 days!

jjgarveCongratulations on the bambino! AND you don't have to wait as long to cruise!

Jancie, you follow directions very well

Everyone joing in the 6 month dance!

 

[Vanvmom]

HI Shelly- We're at the Residence Inn too! We've got the behemoth rental vehicle from Budget to return that morning (Nothing like an Expedition for 5). We're flying in early Friday and driving to KSC for the day, then a relaxing evening before our CRUISE!!!

 

[niccic]

ibouncetoo - yes sorry i will be staying at the hyatt. thanks for the info
sorry you wdw stayers are coming in so late i thought you would be the first ones there

oh sorry i have one more question - do we have to book the 9:30 am buss ride or is it first come first serve?

 

[CJLKIM]

Wow, hit the 6-month mark and we sure get busy......

Just wanted to check in. Good to have the lurkers joining in for some conversation...be sure to jump in on our weekly chat session too...

I don't feel like I'm nearly ready for the trip. With all the hassles over who's going and who's not I really haven't been able to have fun planning....now that we're only six months out maybe I'll feel the extra motivation.

Good news...headache is gone! Neck is still sore but tonight's visit will hopefully help that!

Talk to you all later!

 

[clynne]

Oh, Wendy, so glad DH is home to help you out. Are you going to get your wrist x-rayed?

Jackie, well, living in San Diego county like we do, I can report that it is beautiful here right now and most likely will be whenever you and Peggy make it out here!!

Janice, we'll see you at the Radisson pool. Never been there, of course (newbie for everything!), but the pictures do look inviting.

Yeah, six months!!!!!
