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

[GrayFal]

I bought (ordered) a water proof case for our camera yesterday. It's good to like 19 feet or something like that. http://www.waterproofcases.net/410.html

But do they work?

I would love to buy this...did someone recommend this to you?

My DS was feeling better around noon and by 5:45 was ready to go trick or treating. He of course was a

Jackie & Peggy- We are in 7044 and 7046 port side midship right next to the elevators. I was on deck 6 in adjoining cabins but upgraded to cat 5's about 3 weeks ago. I forgot to send Dee my updated cabin #'s so I'm not highlighted in the Navigator. I think it's 2littlemonkeys who is also on 7. It looks like all the decks are sprinkled with DISers.

My mom hasn't called to let me know if she got her docs yet.

Yup! We're in 7016, right at the forward elevators.

Can't believe it's coming so soon! Gotta get packed and print our door signs! Have the formal stuff ready but not much else since we're still wearing shorts and Ts here in excessively hot Orlando!

Is there a way I can get a copy of the navigator you all have made? Does someone need my email address?

Thanks!
Melanie

Doing the doc dance!! Got them yesterday. I am soooo excited!

Hey Jack - it's getting close! Better keep an eye out!

I got on antibiotics yesterday so the sinus infection seems to be getting better. Yesterday when I woke up my head felt like someone slammed it in a door! Today it feels like someone is gently squeezing it in a doorway - hey that's progress!

2008 dates opened at 8 am this morning.

Anyone booking?????

There were only 2 Cat. 3 midship rooms left when I got through for the dates I wanted. I'm so excited.

I think I'll wait 'til we're onboard and well into the margueritas before I tell DH.

Maybe one of you could tell him for me

Any volunteers???

Anything special or just the 'usual' cruises?

Morning cruisers! Everybody getting ready for the SINGLE DIGIT DANCE PARTY tomorrow? (or are you all now finally convienced that I'm )


2littlemonkeys send a PM to faireygod mother with your e-mail address and she can send you the link to the DIS navigator. I'm glad to see that we now have deck 7 covered, forward, midship and aft

Remember kids, there's a surprise mentioned there that we would rather not post in the world wide web, so share your excitement via PM's and e-mails please.

Anybody get ....we didn't see a one (unless Peg did before I got there). Peg's min-pin, Faith (Chief of Security), laid by the front door the whole evening and announced when Trick-or-treaters were arriving. Then she had to go out and say hello to everyone. Her favorite was a who she wanted to follow down the sidewalk.

Janice, I do plan to re-book on board, but don't know when I'll actually cruise again.....most likely not till 2008 as I promised big sister a 'real' vacation in 2007 (and that means non-Disney, non-cruise).

Have a great day everyone!

I'm all packed and ready to go, I was up until 3am yesterday ironing. I won't have any time to pack and get things together next week since I'll be working 12 hr nights all week. So, I'm looking forwards to the vacation. We are doing the dolphin encounter, the caverns tour, and the stingray excursion hopfully nobody gets stung! The three other families that were going with us backed out so now unfortunatly my nephew is upset that his friends won't be on the ship with him. Any 6-7 yr old boys that like sports especially soccer- that might want to play with my nephew Preston (he's a little shy) We'll see you around the ship!
Robyn

Robyn - I'm so sorry to hear that. I do know a few folks who have great kids - I bet your nephew and CLynne's DS8 will hit it off. PM her and see what you guys can work out? Her DS is adorable but not sure if he's into soccer but I know he's on the swim team!

Where in AZ are you? We were planning on a dis meet soon with Blue Bayou (not cruising with us) and Disneynut1955 sometime soon - would you be interested? You can PM me - or you can wait and see on the cruise that I am not an axe murderer! But I can assure you - we are going to have a good time on this cruise. Are you coming to the Saturday dis meet?

Thanks! We had a pirate with us all night - DS! He looked great, I'll try to post a pic later!

Lauri -
Finally got an email from my agent this morning that the docs are in... and get this.... she'll be shipping them via DHL THREE DAY service. Gee, thanks for the effort on shipping them. It only takes three days via regular mail, two days max via Priority Mail. So, I guess I'll have them Friday.
Guess I should really start packing now....

Donna makes you want to reconsider using that agent in the future.

Someone please tell me what happened to exceptional customer service. I have become so frustrated latley with the lack of good customer service. I am not asking for anything free, just some consideration. Off my soap box and back to our regular scheduled cruise planning channel.

All packed - your my idol! I've been thinking how great I'd be if I were to actually have everything packed this weekend! Sounds like you will be having the time of your life - lots of excursions... good for you. I don't have that much on my plate !! I'll need a vacation from my vacation as it is!

 

[pandamom]

Good Morning!

We're also doing the doc dance I have 1/2 a suitcase packed and am making slow progress.

Tha navigator is fantastic!!! Thank you for all the hard work that went into making it!!! I'm glad to see lots of disers on deck 6

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Robyn...nice to hear from you. My nephew is going and he is 6 and all boy.

That was my first thought - trying to get my DH into "Crusing" but we want to do Englad, Ireland, or Alaska - so I'm hoping Disney will branch out... think I have any chance in wishing?

I did get 2 pirates... but I was surprised we didn't get more.

We also got 3 cheerleaders! The 3 year old was so adorable!!! Yes, the dogs love Halloween and passing out candy - Faith insists she meet everyone. Once I opened the door and a child went running back to the sidewalk! I encouraged her to come back and see Faith - she was really excited that Faith sat quietly for her to pet... I hate when kids are afraid of dogs - my soul just screams!!!! I understand - issues - but my the joy I'd miss out on if I were afraid... ok enough ranting!

Hey only 68 more posts Jack. You better keep your eye on the boards.

I'm kind of suprised you guys didn't break 5000 last night. I was out with the kids last night, then got home, had pizza, and fell asleep at 9:45 pm. I figured I was going to come in today and find us on 5100. And have to read a dozen posts complaining that I wasn't around to 5000.

You guys are slacking!!!

Anyway, now I have a chance. Let's see if we get me me to 5000 before 5:00 pm today. (east coast time)

I keep talking about this with people, how I'd like to start a business that teaches other companies what REAL customer service is! One of my pet peeves. Having no pride in one's work. One thing my father always said, it's not the JOB you do - but HOW you do the job! Exactly.

I was surprised it was so quiet too - but then I have nothing to add - because I had to go to bed before chat - I couldn't stay awake - long day yesterday and the stress just wore me out. (job) - but today is a new day - and I agree - we'll hit 5000 today for sure! Myself, I'm hoping to post 4999 or 4501!
