October 11-18, 2008 Eastern Magic-Parrothead Pirates in Paradise!

[mommyrom]

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone! Going through all that early preggers YUCKO feelings lately...Oh, well, not that I am surprised, as I have been there, done that before! Thanks also for all the twins hopes and wishes... I DO NOT know what we will do if this is twins....We'll just have to wait and see!

Kristin: I DID look at the DCL website and was shocked as well. The pricing comparison for our two cabins was $2,000 MORE than what we are paying! This is comparing our "with taxes" total with the DCL chart pricing for our cabins...Not sure if the DCL includes tax or not? Anyway, $2,000 is an amazing savings regardless...And to think we have a year yet before sailing!!!! Will be a long year nevertheless...Sell house/Renovate new house/Move to new House/Have baby (notice I said this in singular tense?!?! ) /Pack to Cruise/Cruise!!!!!!

Kristin, so Hanna is the one in the Mulan outfit? and to the right of Eeyore and the left of Pooh? She is also maybe a bit taller and thinner in the face? Your girls are just too darn cute!

It finally cooled down a bit today! We are below 90! Going to be in the 70s the rest of the week.

Happy Fall Ya'll!!

 

[mommyrom]

Speaking of fall...We are finally feeling like it IS fall here in New England! We hit a high of 62 today! The humidity this past week has been incredible for Connecticut...Apple picking in the heat is not what this New Englander is accustomed to, for sure!

Just had time to check prices for us.... I am assuming that since we have 2 rooms booked, I would check the price of one room, with one adult and one child (concidered an Adult) and double that. If that is right, our cost, for 2 Cat 11's, has gone up $1572. it's been a year since we booked and we got the on board 10% discount too. I will live with the Cat 11...although, I wanted to splurge for connecting rooms and one with a window....so I am hoping, reallllllly, realllly hoping that we get blessed with an upgrade! I didn't think it would be possible, but I have read a couple threads, where linked ressies were upgraded together! Heck, just toss us in one of them there Suites ya'll got! We'll be awright with one room! LOL

Checked our forecast again and we are looking at a HIGH of 60 towards the end of the week! I am not even sure if my boys have long pants that fit! LOL It's been just so hot, hazy and humid that they didn't need them! NOW they will!

Oh, and can I just say......GO TRIBE!!!!!!

Hi all,


We have been only home from our western cruise for 2 weeks now and were starting to count the days until we go again.
I spent almost an hour on the phone yesterday with DCL trying to sort out our stateroom. Since we will be travelling with a 7 month old (approx), they apparently will only let us select from a couple of staterooms. Two to be exact 2150 ,very back of the boat or 2010 six from the front on deck 2. We chose 2010 the front.
Have any of you experienced sailors ever cruised with an infant or stayed towards the front. If so, we would love to hear how it went and any advise you may have. On our last cruise we stayed in 2550 mid ship. It was an awesome room.

I can't believe some of you have been booked for over a year already. According to DCL this eastern cruise is filling up quickly so I don't think it will to long until it is sold out. This probably also explains the price increases, since availabilty is decreasing. Good for the rest of us that have already booked!

We cruised in rooms 2002 and 2004 in the past the the rooms were great. I can't speak to cruising with an infant but I am sure you should be ok. Can anyone else answer the question about traveling with an infant? Lois

Hello all, DH of Mommyrom checking in now that the full shock effect of having child number four has set in (just kidding honey).
Well everybody the countdown has surely begun if you all haven't noticed we are less than 365 days away from our cruise!!!! .
Looking forward to meeting all of you that have made friends with my wonderful DW and also sailing on my second Disney cruise especially for seven nights..
I'm sure Mommyrom will have plenty of updates for you in the next few weeks hopefully only in the singular tense and just so you all know the brothers at work think I am nuts for having another baby.
Go figure ..

Hi and goodbye for now everyone. We leave in the am, headed to the BWV!!!!! Freaking out with all the last minute things to do tonight.

See you all when we get back!

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

Erika, have a great time!! <---green with envy!

Fireman, the lady I babysit for is going to deliver baby #4 ANY day now! I really don't think she'll make it through the weekend! Bow Season for Antler-less deer starts tomorrow morning. Her DH is planning on going....if Ashlee doesn't decide that it would be a good day to arrive! Her kids will be 7, 4, 14 months and newborn! Yes, I will have my hands full! But yanno, it's like I used to tell people....They would say,"Boy, you sure have your hands full!" and I would say, "It's better to have my hands full, then my hands empty!" Enjoy your expanding family!!!

Time to head back to the game!
GOOOOOOOO TRIBE!!!!!

Funny you mention the Mickey Pool, because that is where I will be with the two youngest most likely! Don't have a due date yet, but I predict late May or very early June...So, the newest will be a youngin' on the cruise for sure! Hopefully, the rockin' and rollin' of the ship will be a good thing for the little one!

ONE YEAR and COUNTING! Woo-HOOOOOOO!!!!

(P.S. This will actually be #5 for me, Mommyrom, and #6 for DH...We were both married to others before..Our oldest are all just about on their own, though...My oldest will be graduating from High School just after the newest addition arrives!! )

Wow! You definately do have your hands full, but good for you both. Your new addition will be the perfect age for travelling.
Ours were guessing will be around the 8-9 month age and hopefully not walking yet.
Your right about the rock'in of the ship were hoping many, if all nap times are spent up on deck 9.

I wouldn't mine a rest or two on Deck 4 in those comfy chairs as well! That was one of our favorite places on our first cruise last December on the Wonder...

Luckily we have the Panama cruise in between.

And our good friends . . . .

We are all from the West Valley in Phoenix, Arizona. Can't wait to get back on board and hopefully meeting some of you. Have a group photo from this past week that we may be able to post in the next few days.
