HI EVERYONE! WERE BACK FROM CAPE COD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What a great place!!!! Loves Matha's Vineyard, Provinetown as well...... So many stories and pics.. Wont bore you all with pics but at some point I'll post some pics... Just finsihed unpacking and have to head to the airport for 4pm to pick cousins flying in from Scotland. They be here for just over two week. So our lives will continue on the crazy program.

But the most excting thing about today is we are going to make some of our DCL ressy's YEH!

When's everyone doing Palo for lunch and dinner. We also want to book some time slots for the nursery (which we have no clue on what time slots to pick, whether through dinner or show or adult bar time, tough call).

Hope you all have been well and enjoying your summer...... Unforetunately I haven't really read any of the past posts. So I'm sort of out of the loop.

Alex

Sounds like a great trip! We have been to Boston twice, but never made it as far as the cape... someday maybe.

Poor, poor Allen & Mary Margaret!

I feel so sorry for you!

Where are you staying this time? I can't quite figure it out from the pics....

Jamie (sitting in my kitchen, watching it rain, skipping church - stayed up late for ressies )

Heidi, I wasn't even thinking of the times that others had picked for Palo!! I know your dinner is planned to be romantic, but if by the end of the week, you would like to link our Palo ressies, just say so! You do realize, this leaves Maureen and Rich to "babysit" our boys!! Maybe we should make other plans for our boys to eat together...say pool side...so Maureen and Rich can have a peaceful meal too!! We'll see how the week pans out!

welcome back Alex, Michelle, Mags and 'Becca!!!! Glad to hear you had a great time! I want to see the photos and hear the stories, when you get a chance. I know getting back and getting company will leave you busy, but post when you can!!!

Sandy, I am not sure what the lineup of shows is right now. Might have to search it out on the boards.

TONIGHT 7:55 on the Disney Channel, get a sneek peek of HSM3: Senior Year. Due to debute on October 24...which means we probably won't get to see it on board, BUT it will mean we will be inundated with HSM during the cruise!!

By the end of the week Maureen and Rich may be so tired of our boys they may beg on bended knee for us to leave them in the clubs for dinner! LOL! Sean will probably want to do THAT anyway knowing him... after all, he gets his nutrition without needing to eat! Kaj on the other hand, who KNOWS what HE will want to do. He loves to dress up (has asked if he could have a tux for the trip, even though Brian detests the idea for himself!).

Sitting here watching wishbone with Sean... we are making a DVD with his favorite episodes on it so he can watch whenever he wants since it is only on rarely. What a riot! I sure wish they had some new episodes...

Alex,,


Sounds like you had a WONDERFUL trip. We love going to the Cape. We've gone for several years in a row...Vero Beach is my new favorite beach.. The kids were calling it their "New Cape Cod!!!!!!!!!!"

Hi Kristin,

Hope you enjoyed your trip as well.... I think we are planning on Vero Beach next Aug. We would also really like to rent one of the little cabins on the ocean just outside of Provincetown.
The Cape must be a fairly short distance for you guys.
Ya'll have to tell us all about Vero Beach on the cruise...

The pool is almost 90 today so its calling my name

 

[TexasGirl]

We are on Doubloon Sail with you!

Awesome! I am super excited about this excursion. Afterwards, we are going to go back on board and gather up our little one and eat lunch. Then, either all 4 of us up the tram (did this a few years ago and it is nice) or dash over to Morningstar Beach and get in some beach time with the 3 year old.

I'm glad you are doing the sail. I'm ready for my pirate tatoo, swimming with some turtles and some rum punch right now!

Oh my gosh that is when we want to go back to Vero Beach next year in Aug..Yes, we will have to plan a time to chat on the cruise over a cocktail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too funny.. .that's the same time as our Palo ressie!

So what are you feeding the kids? Sean is currently having chicken, cranberry juice, peaches, peas and beans. Oh.. I guess that is what he always has! LOL (I just love opening a can and giving him a complete meal without having to cook a thing!)

OMG!!!

What the heck am I supposed to tell our servers

At the table by ourselves.....or are we the babysitting service for the evening

 

[Octoberbride03]

I think we are going up to the arts and crafts community for lunch and see what else we can find. Be back later!

That sounds nice. Rich and I love arts &crafts. I miss the mountains. Wouldn't mind getting there someday.

Poor Maureen! She'll be franticly looking for a Thursday at 8 Palo ressie so she doesn't have to eat with the boys too! LOL

We had sausage gravy and biscuits for breakfast/brunch and having skillet stroganoff for dinner...sort of a home made hamburger helper and it's a diabetic recipe which makes it healthier for us....since we don't tend to eat healthy, anytime I can cook better, that's a good thing! :::as she inhales another powdered doughnut:::::

I'll have to look into a vacation at the cape and at vero! We have a few weeks of timeshare we need to use up, so maybe this would be a good way to do it! Next year "should" be our Disney Park year, but maybe we can do Vero and just WDW for a day or 2.....hhhmmmm........ :::the Disney obsessive mind is spinning again:::::

LOL... I have a feeling that Maureen will survive...

My boys are begging me to go to Disney for a few days this trip... the thing is, I even have 12 one day passes sitting in my keep it safe drawer! (apology from Disney for the dreadful way we were treated at AKL last year). I don't want to overdo it though, and since they are good for another 9 yrs, I figure I will wait a few years and use them then. MEAN old mom...

I wonder if I can trade them in or pay for an upgrade so we can do park hoppers with them.... (MY mind is spinning too!)

Oh man!! I would have burned them up already! LOL BUT we also have Allegiant Air that boasts $70 oneway tickets to Sanford! I would have been there, done that!! I understand what you mean about saving them though too!! What happen at AKL, if you don't mind me asking?

C R U I S E Q U E S T I O N

Speaking of shows (I know you guys were talking about different shows) what is the current schedule for shows during the 7-day Eastern? Does anybody know what is showed on which day?

I got the answer to my own question. I decided to post it as a separate topic.

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

Sandy had asked earlier about what shows were what night, and since we didn't have an answer, he asked on the cruise thread! Here is the answer he got! Thank you Andrew DEREK UK!

Saturday Welcome aboard
Sunday Goldern Mickeys
Monday Twice Charmed
Tuesday Movie / Pirates
Wednesday WD Showtime
Thursday Disney Dreams
Friday Till we meet again

I thought I had read that there was a Toy Story Show? Is that on the Wonder?

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

How funny!! I guess I should have refreshed before I posted! LOL Thanks for finding this out Sandy!!! I, for one, do appreciate it!

I went this morning to do the palo ressies and I am confused. All the times for Thursday (day at sea) are wide open, yet most of the times for Wednesday (St. Thomas) are booked full. What is so popular about that day? I would think a day at sea would be harder to get that a port day. Who wants to rush back to the ship for Palos? Am I missing something?

 

[gouodux]

We would really be interested in seeing any pictures you would have from Vero Beach. We are considering go to VB instead of the Tortola cruise. Mainly because our friends might not be able to do Tortola on the same date. But VB with them in September might just be better!!

I noticed that too when I booked! I hope I didn't make a mistake. We are to leave St Thomas at 430, so we'll be sailing by dinner. Is Thursday one of the formal nights?? I dunno!

For those of us that are Castaway Club Members, here is the gift this year!

I think the duffle bag is great! I already have 2 of the mesh red bags, and I'm not sure what to think about the red stack that shows no purpose! Oh well....it's a gift!!

I had thought about ordering a duffle bag as a gift for in our room, but I guess I won't! I wish we could order beach towels as gifts, but then I guess we can get those in the gift shop!
