November 3, 2012 - Election Escape Eastern!!

[TomsRiverNJMickeyFan]

Ok ... question of the week!!!


What's your favorite Disney movie???


Mine is National Treasure.

Dh's is Lion King, I think.

Kids have too many to choose.

I am actually old School Disney and probably dating myself, But my favorite is probably "20,000 Leagues under the Sea" followed by "Swiss Family Robinson",!

Well if you are going to go old school I would have to say:
Live Action- In Search of the Castaways (a close 2nd though might be the Herbie in San Fransico)

Cartoon- The Aristocats

Current movies:
Live Action- (don't hate me for this but I am a big fan of the Marvel Comic acquisition) Thor

Cartoon- It is a toss up between Beauty and the Beast and all the Toy Story's (not so much the 2nd one)

Favorite Movie--Toy Story (I love the idea of Andy's Bedroom in the Kids Clubs!)
Fav animated--The Little Mermaid

DH loves the Muppets, so I'm really excited about the Interactive Game for him

DD goes through phases, she has loved Cinderella, Toy Story, Mickey Mouse Club House (I know not a movie, but they had long specials ) There has been nothing recently she must watch again and again

Brenda & Shell, it must be disappointing not having your whole family with you. I'm sure you'll have fun regardless, but still...

We have tried to get some extended family (like grandparents) to come with us, but they keep saying it's too expensive. We've tried to tell them it's worth it, but oh well, their loss.

Thanks for the pics Rosermama! If it had stayed the weekend, we would have made the trip up.

Glad you liked the pictures

We too have tried to get my parents to go with us on the cruise but they always give us the its too expansive routing as well. The first time we took our DD on the cruise my parents went and it was only because it was her first time and I had just come home from Iraq.

But I will say that after having been on that cruise with them and then also enduring a 16 person family vacation in Hawaii. I like vacationing by ourselves since we don't have to coordinate with anyone or worry about hurt feelings cause we didn't do something someone else wanted to do.

But it does suck not having all your kids with you.

We will definitely miss our son. I hate going without him, but even if he could get leave, he's not allowed out of the country under the contract he has. One day, I hope he can cruise with us again, but it will be a while.

My mom *always* comes with us, and it's awesome! I'm so glad that she does. For our first cruise, she took my family and my niece's family (she raised my niece). There were 9 of us that year. Yikes. :shock: It was so hard arranging things, and we were constantly waiting .... waiting ... waiting .... on my niece and all her stuff. It's SO much easier for us to travel with just the 5 or 6 of us.

Hi
My name is Jill - I will be on this cruise also.

 

[ntheory]

Welcome, Jill!!! So glad to have you!

Shell: Since we will be sailing with you guys as part of your extended family, we will try not to make you have to wait, wait, wait for us.

Hahaha ... Steve .. you DO remember my niece, right!? Nothing ... absolutely NOTHING is easy with her.


And yes, ya'll ARE part of our family. (Just don't tell my niece ... she thinks that family can only be related by blood....)

Just read the posts. I see there are a lot of "Jerseyites". Up until Aug 2010 that was where I lived. Last address was Florence. It is between Trenton and Camden.

Now retired - had two major careers - Military and Corrections Officer. Love living in Kissimmee. Go to WDW at least once a month. The other thing I love doing is roller skating. I skate competition (dance) and practice 3-4 days a week.

Hi Brenda. Colleen told me you and she are sharing a cabin. (I am Colleens mom) I was planning a different date but she suggested I go on this one - so - I said - sounds like a great idea.

Been on the Magic (7 day turned 10 day because of a hurricane). twice on the Wonder and on the Dream.

Oh, I almost forgot - as you might be able to tell by my Avatar - I love riding motorcycles

Welcome! We are about an hour south of Trenton in Camden County. You must have worked at the prison in Trenton?

Yes indeed. 20.5 years. An awesome experience. You must be one of the few that know where Florence is.

Oh my!!!! I could only dream .........

 

[trinibjill]

Oh my!!!! I could only dream .........

It was great. They took us to extra ports, brought extra entertainment aboard (had to go to Galveston to get fuel) Had enough food. Other cruise lines ran out of food. Couldn't get back to Port Canavaral so we went to Miami. They took us back to the Port by bus. When we docked in Miami we were right next to the Wonder. They had a battle of the horns. I still get goosebumps over that. There were a lot of folks from Jersey on that cruise also.

 

[trinibjill]

Did someone say there's not enough pictures posted. Hope you don't mind if I post some

We got to sit at this table on the Dream. People kept coming up to take pics of the chandelier.
