Hi Kelly, last year we just rented floats on CC which was good fun, it was very relaxing to float about in the water watching the fish, we didn't hire bikes or snorkel but we heard many people back on the ship saying they had done both and enjoyed very much. I am not much of a swimmer, I could stop myself from drowning but I am not very confident in the water, I dont like to snorkel because of this, but I am sure you would love it, there were some wonderful fish where I was paddling and floating in the water, so it must be good to snorkel... Did you decide on your spa treatments ? I have a bit of a worry, when I try to access my ressie on the DCL site, it tells me don't exist, it has been ok up until today, but now there is no record of me I have e-mailed DCl to find out what is going on

Thanks guys for all the Birthday wishes!

Jules, im sure they will find you, as the balance has to be paid soon!! So they will definately find you when they want money!
We had friends over tonight, to watch "Derailed" a thriller with Jenifer Aniston in. It was really quite good! sold some of Ellies old clothes on E bay today too..... that goes in our "holiday fund"

good night everyone x

Glad you had a good day Linda, I've not watched that fil but keep meaning too, was the birthday bunny good to you

I think we are sorted, like you say Linda they will soon find us when they want some cash !! I phoned DCL and gave them my old reservation number, they said my TA had cancelled it, I nearly fell off my chair They sais that immediately after cancelling my TA made a new reservation, same room, same price !! DCL have now given my new ressie number, I have no idea what has happened or why the TA would do this, I need to speak to them to find out what has gone on, never mind as ling as we are all still booked I am happy

You need to help me out now guys, Ian commented last night that I am not as wound up as I normally am before our hols, so I need to get in the spirit, can you help me out on the door decs that you all seem to be doing, what are you using, what do I need to do, this will give me a project for the weekend - thanks

Hi everyone.
Sorry I have not been a good correspondent lately! I usually post while at work but am having less time to do it lately. It took quite a lot of reading to catch up with what you all have been doing!
Jules, thanks for posting the piccies! I still intend to try it sometime too. I have been working on our door decoration. We are going to have sort of a tiki theme on our door. I am going to do large magnets. I just print out my pictures and then stick them to magnet sheets that I get at a craft store.

These three months will go so fast!

Jane, pips are the the well, pips like in apples, so they grow again. I think pips was a funny word that I put with strawberries, but I thought about the little pips on the outside of the s berry! I dont think I made things very clear, whoop sorry! do you call them something else in the US?

Jules, I will try and post a photo of my door dec. Nothing that special, but I will show you guys, to get "approval"!!

Have you read on the thread on the forum about door decs getting stolen or moved! Not good. Alot of people suggest making it personal, so no good for any other family to use. What a shame people would even think of being so mean! I think we are on a Disney cruise, so EVERYTHING and ONE should be magical!

Brought a dress for formal dress up night today, a red dress with small white polka dots all over. I thought seeing its Kellys h /moon i should make an effort!!! Im not that slim, in fact im trying to diet ( like always! ) so im not sure I will keep the dress. I need a dress to make me look like Demi Moore!

I read another thread on the forum about people worrying about table mates.Im so chuffed we are all set, and have made friends over the internet first. Especially on the 4 nighter, we would hae just got to know each other, and then we would have been kicked off! Well here, all that is done and we can have fun from the very first night! Thanks!

*love*

Just a thought, do we know what rotation we will get IF we get the first of the late dinning options. also how will we KNOW that we are all together. Im guessing we dont KNOW for sure till we get the KTTW card. Do we get this at the port? cos Im now thinking when will we know for sure, and what restuarnat will we be in for dress up, and pirate night etc.


Thanks. hope you know what I mean by this babble.

MARRIAGE

I LOVE your door decorations Linda great job! I bet your red dress is really pretty. I'm still trying to lose weight myself...I was doing good for a while...but I just love food too much!

I think maybe the US word for pips is seeds?

Sue your tiki door sounds cool too. Don't work so hard, come chat with us

I'm printing off invitations as I type this...so soon, maybe tonight, I can get a picture to post. I'll be so thrilled when the are DONE!

bride

The dorr decorations are lovely, I will have to start working, did you buy magnetic sheets Linda, if so where did you get them from please ? Sue I like the idea of your Tiki theme and I am very impressed with your England flag Linda, I shall have to get a Welsh one Kelly is right Sue don't work too hard come and speak to us

Cant wait to see your invites Kelly, I bet you have made them very special ...

Linda your dress sounds lovely, I too am constantly on a diet, it doesn't work though, i think I am just destined to be this way, I like the idea of a dress that would make me look like Demi Moore, sadly I think this would need to be a miracle dress

I understand what you mean by our dining rotation Linda, we will know when we check in, I think that is the first time you are able to find out, on our room card there will be letters which indicate which rotation we have, for example TAPT, which would mean we get Tritions Animators Parrot Tritons, I dont think there is a way for us to find out before, we will just have to wait and see, it is very exciting isn't it

I found out what happened with my ressie, I called my TA, they had apparently been able to change the res to a group res as more people have started booking with them, I still get the same room and rate, but he says that because they are now able to get a large group booking, I will get some suprises ... I hope the suprise is not that someone is sharing our room

 

[Lindy Loo]

* KELLY*

Jules who did you book with? I hope Dreams puts us on a group rate. an we ger surprise! Well done you.

My door signs are not magnetic, we are using good old blu tac, and ive just laminated them ( there is a machine at work to do this with !)

Cant wait to see your invites Kelly, bet they have a touch of "Kelly Magic" to them

Yer, sue, dont work tooooo hard, we need you chatting to us to! love the idea of a tikki room door decs!

I suppose we will have to try and locate each other at the port? Are we all planning to get there for 10ish? I was thinking I wouldnt know if to go to GS on the ship and ask to change, IF we didnt get all together. Perhaps a week before, a call or e mail to DCL would help? ( who kindly did this arrangements? Sue or Jane)

New Friend

Linda we book every year with All Seas Travel the agent there John is great he goes beyond the call of duty, this year he has set up Magical Express from the airport for us and we haven't even booked that part of the holiday with him - he is great

It might be a good idea to check with GS, I am so excited that we may all get to be together ... We are coming on the Disney Transport so I dont think we will be there until after 1.00pm, I will have to wear somthing lime green in my hair, better than a pink carnation !

I feel so excited at the moment and need to share with someone, so I hope it is ok to share with my new friends, some weeks ago I went for an interview with a holiday coach company for a tour manager job, this would involve booking hotels, flights, ferry crossings etc it also has a lot of involvement with DisneyLand Paris, the perks meant free holidays etc, it was my dream job as I love to travel, I went there for a day to see what the job was like etc and I loved it, unfortunately I didn't get it as the girl I was up against could speak five languages At the time the MD said he would def be in touch with me towards the end of July as they are moving premises and he had a role in mind for me. To be honest I didn't pay a lot of heed to this, you know what its like "thanks for your interset in this position, we will kepp you on file and be in touch", I have heard it all before This morning he has left me a message on my mobile asking me to call him as soon as I can, I am so excited I feel sick - there is no privacy where I work, so I cant call at the moment, I am trying not to get too excited !! Sorry for rambling but I cant phone anybody to share, so I am sharing with my new mates ...

Linda as part of the group suprise last year, we got a DCL memory box from All Seas, which is lovely for keeping your cruise momentoes, navigators etc in

 

[Lindy Loo]

Jules, wow how exciting......... whens your dinner break, can you nip out then. Even ny hearts beating faster for you !

Ill keep everything crossed for you. Just make sure you are in private when calling, and that you have calmed yourself down to regular breathing! Have a pen and paper to take notes handy.

A ton of pixie dust to you

 

[saratogagirl]

Thanks Linda

My heart is going like the clappers .... I get dinner break at one o clock, so I will be able to nip out then, I will be sure to do my deep breathing and thanks for thinking of pen and paper, I am so nervous I wouldn't have though of it

Please keep everything crossed for me, and I will let you know as soon as I know something, please please let it be good news

Thanks for my pixie dust, I believe that always works

 

[Lindy Loo]

Jules, any news????

Im so here with you............... honest im really excited for you.

Is it baking hot where you are? On the news today they are saying today is likely to be the HOTEST day EVER recorded in the UK! 37 degrees! 3 degrees hotter than Spain! at present its 35, 36 degrees was the hottest recorded in 1911. (history lesson over! I promise..... )

They are now warning of power cuts, as the national grid cant cope with all the electricity being used for Air con and fans.


good luck.... Xx isnt the Dib great for friendship and support!

Gold
(A Song: Make new friends but keep the old one is silver the other gold)

Linda: Red is my Fav color I am wearing a red dress to Parrot Cay
Not quite Demi Moore though

From what I have read on the boards if we get second seating first rotation we will get TAAP, Animators for dress up and Pirate night.
Sue did our Ressies

Jules: WOW Suprises in your room and a shot at a dream job.
I hope all your dreams come true-wishing on a star for you.

 

[saratogagirl]

Silver

Linda it's baking isn't it, I hadn't heard on the news about the power cuts, that would be typical in the UK though we can't cope with snow and now we can't cope with sun

Jane, that rotation sounds nice, not so good maybe for Linda as did you not mention you did not like much on Animators menu, you will look great in your red dresses - who care about Demi Moore (not me honest) !!

Well everyone I phoned and he was as nice as always, I have to go and see him straight from work, I should get there at about 5.30. He has a new role there of Private Hire Manager, which would be organising the coaches and holidays for customers who want to arrange their own itineries rather than booking something from the brochure ..... I will update when I gt back, I am so excited but also very nervous ...

Thanks so much for thinking of me, and all your wishes of luck, it is amazing how kind and friendly everybody is, it must be a disney thing, we all have a bit of walt in our hearts

Ok, Jules, keep calm, make sure you have a quick wash and brush up, and best positive smile on. Rememeber they WANT YOU! This afternoon, it might be helpful to note down any questions you might like to ask ( my mind always goes blank at the crucial moment! )

Hi Jane, nice to hear from you, me and jules were having a big natter today.( keeping us on the front pge all the time! ) Im ok with TAAP, im ok with anything to be honest, so long as we are all together. Im sure I wont starve, what ever!
Is it hot where you are?
Off to do some shopping, ice cream being top of the list. Crazy as it is, I have a convertable, but its SOOOO hot, I leave the roof UP, and put the Air Con on!
