There are six of us so we'll probably have our own table, but it would be great to be located somewhere near the rest of the group -- can you do it? Thanks!!

....still counting.....21 + "the Manley" 5 = 26


Still no Iceman, 5cjs, Mickeyhugger, Disneyfan, zeke11, scorpio,.....missing anyone?

We'd love to be in ---- and thanks for the invite!!! I have to call DCL tho --- we still have early seating so I will have to see if I can switch ... we are 4 in all --- kids will be 8 and 10 --- (any other kids this age group... i know I saw a 10 at one point) ... one question tho... since you have an "in" and since I understand they are switching to the every 15 minutes thing (8:00, 8:15, 8:30) [ or so that is what they told me last i called ] ... do you have an in as to which increment???

Also, is the website still somewhere? I have a pic to post so at least you all can "know" us in advance!

Scorpio, PM lampskies with your info (last name, how many in your family) and he'll get your ressie 'linked' with the rest of us here. Oh, and I might have been one of the ones who mentioned I have a DD also (who will have just turned 11.) This will be one fun big group!

i wanna be in the late seating dinner group -- we have to convice AlreadyExcitedGrammy that this is only for ONE WEEK and her and her DH can nap in the afternoon. Let's review the pluses of late dining, as I see them, we did early dining on our 4-day

Late dining means less stress to get back to ship in Cozumel and GC -- remembering at Cozumel we don't dock until 10:30 a.m.

Late dining means not as much downtime between dinner and the Pirates deck party

Late dining means afternoon snacks!

Late dinning means napping before dinner rather than after dinner but before the festivities, who wants to go out for the night with a bedhead?

anything i missed?

i LOVE the t-shirt idea! especially that we can order different styles of shirts with the same logo -- who is creative?

hope everyone has a fantastic long weekend -- we had much ado, and some on and off showers put a delay in my flower-planting goals; but nonetheless i'm heading out soon to hopefully finish before a cookout later with friends


bye for now, Molli

Hey guys,

It's the "Manley 5" finally checkin in......I have to figure out how to post pics and all that jazz but I just wanted to say hello to everyone....our good friends "The Willie Miller Group" have shared what a blast they had with you guys sailing last Nov so we thought we would give it a go and see how we do! We are getting more excited as the day draws near to set sail. My wife Melissa and I have two daughters, Rachel, 14 at the time we sail, Caroline, 12 when sailing and a son, Andrew, 10 at sail time. We have been linked to the Lampskie's dining group so let the festivities begin!!!! We are looking forward to meeting each of you. See ya'll soon!

 

[ohMom]

Welcome Manley 5!!!!

Seems to be a small group of pre-teen girls in our DIS bunch - we had two daughters, Taylor who will be 13 in August, and Paige who will be 9 in December.

i'm still a bit bummed to pay an adult price for one of my children

glad to hear everyone who traveled had a great time --

4 more days of school for my girls and the summertime

[LAMPSKIES]

O.K......I think I have the so far......29 + Icemanpad 3 + Kiwaiko 2 + Scorpio 4 + Zeke 6 = 44 Confirmed so far!!!!!

 

[LAMPSKIES]

Molli....you forgot about the MOST IMPORTANT thing about late dining......you can sit with US!!!!!

Welcome Manleys!!! My DDs are 15 and 13.....this year it doesn't look like we have neighbors sailing with us so they should be out and about more....

 

[Disneyfan37]

Welcome Manleys!!!

We are going to have a great time at our tables every evening!

Happy Tuesday to all of you!

Maria

 

[Mickeyhugger]

Welcome Manleys!

Our DD will have just turned 11 when we sail.

What part of Texas are you from?

We live in Highland Village, which is right outside of Dallas. (It's also close to Denton.)

 

[WMILLER86]

Hey Hershel! Welcome to the DIS! Sorry I did not get your voice message till late last night! We were in San Antonio the weekend, then I was home from work yesterday caulking and prepping the house. Kelli and my nephew are painting it this week. What a wife!

We went over to the Manleys and had dinner a little while back. Showed em the pics and video from 2004 Disney Cruise. Hershel was at the computer signing up before the evening was over!

Oh yeah, San Antonio was great fun. I was getting "practiced" being on the cruise!

the late vs early dilemma continues in Central Ohio -- surprisingly the 'hard sell', my father, was ok with it?!? now i'm stumped. and quite honestly i need a couple days to really make sure that late dining will be ok -- eating dinner sooooo late?? anyone else from our time zone have a thought to share?

AND -- OMGosh -- I got on DCL site just for grins and quoted the same stateroom level for the thanksgiving 2006 cruise and it's already about $1500-2000 more than we booked! what the heck?

molli

 

[WMILLER86]

Yeah, the Disney cruises are really getting expensive! We are thinking that after DCL cruise for Thanksgiving 2004, then again for Thanksgiving 2005, we are going to rebook while onboard, but will book for Thanksgiving 2007. Skipping 2006. We have a family business, so our vacations are easier to take on holidays. For 2006, we are looking to use our Vacation Club points and head back to WDW with some 12 or so family members. There will be some little ones that will be big enough by then to get the magic treatment.

We definetly want to rebook while onboard to get the onboard credit, so we will need to plan ahead. I guess the November 2007 rates will be available by then? Anybody know how far out the rates are posted?

[Disneyfan37]

WMILLER86-DH and I already have decided that we will book for 2006 onboard as we should of done so in December of 2004.I run a business out of my home,and I have a feeling that Thanksgiving week is going to work out great for us as far as taking time off.2006 and Disney Vacation Club sounds great.Our friends from MN love Old Key West!

Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday!
