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

[dizney-cruiser]

with the great photos you take you can take all the pictures of my sister and i that you want!!

we are getting ready to plunge into the world of digital camera's ourselves - we were at a family event for easter and i handed my cousin my camera to take a picture of me and her daughter and she looked at my camera and said, "does this actually use film?" as if it were some antique or something!! got me thinking that i might be slightly behind the times!!

 

[GrayFal]

hey grayfal!
yes - i am often on the scrapping board!! have you put any thought into joining the circle journal over there?

Okay, you twisted my arm....I joined group number 2....I hope I don't live to regret it!

HA HA I am just going to start making up stories. For starters. Pat is on vacation on a safari for 2 months, no better yet she is on a tropical island somwhere being fawned over by hard body glistening men serving her fresh grapes and wine. Dee

I was wondering where this rumor started....I should have known!
Actually, I was in SoCal and went to Disneyland for the 50th Anniversary Celebration - but on 5-6-05 which was very smart of me as 5-5-05 was REALLY crowded!
I am in a PANIC however, as I am unabe to download my pictures. I have several 'cards' for my camera and when I try to download my DL pix - I get this message "An error occured while saving images. Check your image capture device connection and try again."

Knock on wood my DH and I may be joining you all. Couples only this time--no kids. I know they will not be happy about that, but hey, they'll get over it. We will celebrate our 17th anniversary on this cruise.

Let's hope it works out.
Sue Ellen

WELCOME - Glad you found us!
DH and I are 'adult' cruisers as are Hannosmom and faireygod mother - the more the merrier! We just celebrated our 25th this week.

I'm here, but our cruise is still a year and a half away. Trying not to think about it. (I was supposed to be on the PC cruise this Saturday but had to cancel, so that makes it a little worse.)

Sam

Hi Sam, Didn't realize you were "on board"! Sorry about the PC repo,,,,
Will add you and Sue Ellen to the first page....who are you traveling with?

Yeah, that's life. But with the money I didn't spend, I'll have to sooth my pain with a new camera, perhaps.

I'm traveling with my lovely wife, Tricia, and 2 sons, Noah & Josh.

Thanks Sam - would you like me to add the boys ages at time of cruise...maybe they can have some buddies on board?

Sure. Noah will be 8 and Joshua 6.

We are looking forward to another "couples only" cruise. We did one last May and it was just incredible. My son will start Kindergarten fall of 2006, and my daughter will be in high school, so we are thinking that we won't take them out of school (first time since my daughter was in Kindergarten that we will not have taken her out for some sort of family trip.)

This cruise will finish sailing just days before my birthday also so what better way to celebrate my birthday and anniversary than 2 stops at Castaway Cay!!!

I hope to make this cruise a reality. Now to get working on that passport.

[dizney-cruiser]

oh pat!! i surely hope you dont have to take another trip to disneyland just to get more pictures!!

 

[faireygod mother]

Pat.. welcome back. I was having the same problem with my cards and invested in a card reader and have not had any more problems. I have a multi USB connector on my desk and hook right into to it now. Good luck.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Are we going to do anything special on the ship? Like a group photo or a sail away party?

For anyone that hasn't heard yet - a member of the disboards passed away on castaway cay yesterday

 

[chichihoney]

i readed it yesterday

 

[faireygod mother]

I did not hear about that. I assume it is on the threads, but I did not find it anywhere. How incredably sad. Does anyone know what happened? I feel for the family and others touched by this.

How awful...do you have the details?
...and on the much anticipated repo cruise

 

[dizney-cruiser]

i read the information on the live post from the magic - no details yet

[faireygod mother]

I read on the Oktoberfest thread that they are not discussing what happened and asked everyone to respect that until the family discloses what they want told.

Dee

 

[GrayFal]

Thanks Dee and Diz - I read the posts and certainly want to respect their privacy....someone posted who was involved in the resusitation(sp) - such a tragedy.....
Big to the family, CM and DISsers involved ...

 

[DIS NURSE]

Well....onto a happier subject....yup, it's official! We took the plunge today and DIS NURSE and her family {DH, DD (8 1/2) and DS (almost 7)}will be joining all of you!
Thanks to Jeanna, giving me the great insiders tip of her travel agent (Kim)....we got a great deal and I am SOOOOOO excited! Someothers of you on this board know Kim also....GrayFal for example!

We are booked this coming November too.....and knowing that we are returning for the special DOUBLE DIP of CC will take the sting out of going home!

Thanks again, Jeanna! Do you need to get rid of any more of those rooms!? I know there are people going on this Nov's cruise with me who are also considering rebooking while onboard for that Nov 12, 2006 cruise. But as I see it, it may be all sold out by then! Let me know!

If anyone wants one... they can have them! There is only one family member that we really want to go with us that haven't said yes but they would rather go hunting!?!? Who knew??? I even tempted them with money but to no avail! Oh well... I tried!!

 

[dizney-cruiser]

hey dis nurse!

welcome aboard!! please do me a favor and make sure you make not that the cruise is nov 11, 2006 (above you mention nov 12) - i would hate to have you miss the ship and we all have to have fun without you!!!

 

[faireygod mother]

Welcome Dis Nurse.

Hope everyone is having better weather than we are. It is raining....again

I am uncertain if we are going to have spring. ha ha

Have a great weekend all, Dee
