NYE Western Cruise 2008 - New Thread

[tiggerwannabe]

I think it's the same night I'll be sleeping on a deck chair.

The answer to woman problems is never more women.


Trust me, there would be nothing cute about it. I'm speaking for myself, John can make his own call.

Hey Nan, do you still have that ton of tiaras?

If we can't prance around in our jammies, could we maybe sport some tiaras~

I think I pulled some out to save for us, but can't remember where I put them...I vote jammies, one less thing to pack for me

Jammies it is!

Artman, maybe you and the guys could have your pajama party on the deck together

Nan, I need your advice on my tux thread on thr main cruise board! I don't want to hog our meets thread with my tux obsession, so I'm keeping it there. My question has to do with white jacket/black jacket.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Nan, did you say Paul is still sailing?

I hope your Dad's birthday celebration meal goes well, give Mom a hug for me~

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I found the perfect wallet today! It was on the Disney store clearance rack, matches my brown Mickey purse *and* is big enough to fit our passports in it!

 

[Aisling]

CUTE! And clearance, too!

 

[Orlanr]

Oh sure no problem. (Honey, I've invited a bunch of girls that I've been talking to on the computer to stay with us on the cruise)

Artie: You and I can hang out on deck, drink cocktails with umbrellas in them and talk about duct tape, WD40 and how broke we will be when we get home. I know a great place in KW we can get a frozen Key Lime Pie slice dipped in chocolate.

 

[Orlanr]

Girls, PMs coming!

COUNT ME IN!!!!!!!!!

 

[Aisling]

COUNT ME IN!!!!!!!!!

Rus, I was thinking about that PM I sent you...

you can come if you wear a babydoll nighty!

Oh Pleasssssse, we've hogged threads with much worse than tux talk, haven't we????

ok, I'll drag my butt over there, but only when you tell me and you know I prefer my links to be present

Thanks babe. We had a great dinner.

Mom is in.

Actually she is overboard....she is very excited. We only had to remind her 5 times of what we planned. Every time she agreed. happily agreed

now, the big news, I am in charge of Xmas at WDW for the whole stinkin family. You know how it goes when Lee and I get together.

Wish me luck. I doubt the other 2 sisters will come, but likely that the grandkids, all 10 of them (and some wives & hubbies) will come should be a fun time. I'm going to haunt some DVC points to see if we can get a couple of Villas, I figure Boardwalk would be nice. Lee wants to be at AKL again, but I doubt we could get rooms there this late. More to come in a few days wish me luck.

Rus...cant wait to see you in one of chel's baby doll jammies!!! SOOOOO glad you two are in for DL next month

Nan...WTG!!!! so glad you're still in!!!! Tell Mom thanks & anxious to meet her...

Off to read my new book for awhile....cleaning house today but better not start for a few hours since DH only went to bed a couple of hours ago....

 

[trinibjill]

One of my favorite shows. Can you name everyone?
Oh, their names are on their shirts.

Ya that sounds great, much better than a small cabin jam packed with women in the pj's............hey wait a minute.

Hello Strangers ~ just caught up with the past few days of postings.

I have Paragd911 on the roster now but don't have much other information so Paragd911 -if you are "listening" and want to add more like where from, stateroom number (apparently we like to stalk folks here on the DIS - LOL) and if you want to disclose any pre-post cruise plans just send me a pm.

Magicalfam5 - I noticed for some reason I didn't have Kelly down as DD so I updated that.

So is semi-formal night for SURE going to be NYE? Wonder if I should change that on the website.

Hope you had a great trip Tigg - looked through the pictures and looks like it was nice and relaxing.

Cadz - hope your run tomorrow goes well!!!

Not sure on tuxes or suits - what we may do is go ahead and just do suits as I have both Shannon (husband) and Sean (2 years old at time of trip) to consider. I asked shannon last night and he was leaning more towards getting another suit - which is fine. And then I can pick up a suit for my son - Sean (they actually didn't appear to be that expensive - around 60.00 for a 5 piece).

Hi gang,

We just had a serious cruise meeting at my house, with all cruisers present, and also my bro and sis in law (Cory's parents). Topics of discussion:
1. If Mel's really going or planning to bale like he did last time'
He decided for sure to go.
2. Tuxes or suits.
My men unanimously voted tuxes AND suits...the wearing of which on which night (Formal Night and NYE) to be determned when those nights arrive.
3. Fish Extender participation.
My stateroom is in (6540 me, Mel, Jesse, and Cory). Chad and Louise (6541)opted out because they feel they'll be too busy with school and work to give the gifts the attention they deserve.
4. Excursions.
Key West: me, Mel, Jesse and Cory will walk the town on our own. Chad and Louise will be doing a DCL GPS walking tour.
Cayman: me, Mel, Jesse and Cory will be on the charter boat with Anjelica's family. Chad and Louise have opted out in order to do a DCL excursion, can't remember right now which one.
Cozumel: Mel will be staying onboard. I'll be doing the cooking class with Josefina. Chad, Louise, Jesse and Cory will be going Tulum with DCL.
Castaway Cay: Jesse and Cory will be doing the Teen Wild Side (I think that's what it's called) with DCL. Me, Mel, Chad, and Louise will just be hanging out, and will see what's available day-of if we get the urge.

Anjelica, take note you'll have 2 less on the charter excursion. I realize the price per person will now be higher, but at least now we have a definite number for my group.

Transportation: DCL bus or limo.
I've cancelled the DCL bus transport from the WL to the port, and have booked a limo instead, which will save us almost $200.
Rum:
Yes, lots of it.

I haven't done so yet, but I'll be calling DCL to cancel Debbie's dining link with us. It breaks my heart to do it, and if you're reading, Deb, I heart you, girlfriend.

Nan, please PM me with your ressie number(s) so I can add your family. I'll also send you mine, because you also have to call your TA to "confirm". (New rules).

I've been gyming every day, working so freaking hard, and cutting out my carbs as per my trainer's orders, who swears to high heaven that I'll fit my size 10 clothes by cruise time if I do exactly what he says. (I'm currently a 16, so I need A LOT of pixie dust). He even thinks I can get down to an 8, but first of all I think it's impossible to do in 4 months, and also when I was a size 8, I wasn't as, how shall I say this, voluptuous, and I don't want to lose my voluptuousness, if you know what I mean !

So that's my saga this Saturday night!

How are all youse doin'?

 

[nskjerven]

I'm still waiting for my reply on the other thread...

Glad Mel is in for sure.

I just confirmed our whole family plans with Paul and he agreed.

Tomorrow lots of work on the phone/DIS/internet to get some housing for this gang in place, and then those flights arrrggghhhhh!!!!

Gotta look at excursions for us. I suspect we will be low key for most of them. Which places do we tender rather than dock? Not sure how easy the tender will be for mom.

I will pm the info to you tomorrow Aisling I promise

I gotta take mom shopping for her formal dress too oh joy! Maybe I'll leave this to my sister to take care of.

 

[Aisling]

and then those flights arrrggghhhhh!!!!

Nan, if it makes you feel any better, we paid $500 each for airfare. Last cruise I paid $165 each RT. So allow me to arrrggghhhhh with you!


And I answered your question on the tux thread. I hope I don't get points for saying the B word!

 

[Orlanr]

OK, I changed my mind, I bought a Tux today, it came with my BabyDoll for the slumber party.
