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

[pinkygirl]

we haven't ordered the dvd yet, but we will for sure. We have never been to St Thomas or St Maaten, so it will be good to see new sights. We were wondering about the beaches in St Maarten since they have some nude beaches there, I don't think I want to hang out at those beaches LOL we have no clue where the good family beaches are and I'm glad you mentioned Divvi Beach. I wrote it down so I wont forget.
Barbados is awesome, very friendly and not too expensive as some people think they are. I found that if you do your research properly, you can have a great vacation for not much money. Last year was my second time there and I would back again for sure.

The DVD would be great for your kids to watch...It will give you all a good idea on the ship layout etc...

Do you have the Disney Visa? If so you get an onboard credit of fifty dollars when you pay your final payment with it too....

Little Divvi Beach was a really nice family beach and it was soo clean and we rented chairs and an umbrella for I think fifteen or ten dollars for the day. Easy to get a Taxi there and the bathrooms and showers were nice too...

Here are some pictures of the kids at the Little Divvi Bay Beach in ST. Marteen...

Barbados sounds great maybe I will have to price it out there too.. Where did stay??

Hello everyone!

I have to say that it will be pretty cool with those new ships. I am very glad that they are finally doing it. It seems like it has taken them awhile.

We are suppose to have some severe weather move in tomorrow so today I have spent documenting all of our household stuff. Didn't realize how much crud we had! The weather has been very warm the last 3 days so I am really craving that warmer weather!

Welcome to all you new comers and congratulations on booking your first cruise. Very exciting time. It was so hard for me to believe that we had booked our first cruise back in 2004 until we actually got to the termnal and got on that beauitful ship. I can't wait to do it again!!

Talk to you all soon

Tonya

Hello fellow Cruisers!! Just popping in to say hi. It's been a bit crazy around here. Connor got a case of Chicken Pox, even though he's been vaccinated! Been dealing with that, and making up homework. Got him back to school today! YEAH! It is VERY windy here today!

Steve, neither my Steve or I graduated from WVU as we were both born and raised near Cleveland, OH. However, Steve's parents are originally from Clarksburg, so when Steve's Dad lost his job, they moved "back home". When Steve graduated from Toledo University, the jobs were actually BETTER in WV, so we chose to move here to raise our family. Kind of ironic really. Maybe when we retire, we'll be moving back to Oh.....well, maybe not! I am DONE with the snow!

Can't wait to see the website you all are creating for us!

We are heading to the parks on May 31st. Hopefully, that will be enough of a Disney Fix until the next cruise!

As for the new ships! SIGN ME UP! I am hoping we will be on a maiden voyage of at least one of them! Should we start to name them? Disney Dreams, Disney Wishes or how about Disney Dollars???? LOL

Thanks for the warm welcome and I am looking forward to getting to know you all over the next year!

Thanks for sending the pics, your girls are so cute!
No we don't have disney visa, but we're planning on switching our ressie to Dreams Unlimited.
We stayed in the south end of Barbados and the hotel was South Gap Ocean hotel. If you're interested in them I would ask for the first floor suite. It has a queen bed and in the living room we asked for a twin bed instead of the sofa for our DS. The balcony faces the ocean and the pool. Price was $105 a night and it has a full kitchen. Very nice and clean!

Sorry about the music on the website. I have been real busy. I will try and ask Andy how you do it.

No one going yet with a son who will be 15 at the time? I'm not too worried about my then 12 yr old dd, she makes friends easy, but my son I am more concerned about. He's not into sports or dancing and stuff, so I'm hoping to find someone he might be able to hang with who likes video games and stuff.

My DS will be 15 at sail.

 

[3sons]

Wow! I miss checking the boards for a few days and everything happens!
Two new ships? How exciting!
Welcome to all of the new DISers!

Hey cool!!!

Erika,

My girlfriend Jamie that is going on this cruise with us will have a 14 yr old DS. She has been working and hasn't gotten to the boards lately but I will put a bug in her ear. And also, my DD will be 13yrs old on this cruise. How would you feel about the girls writing to each other and getting know each other?

Hello Everyone

That would be great, once I pin down dh. I know, I keep saying that, but I'm working on it. My dd will only be 12 though, wouldn't she be in a different place than the 13 year old for activities???

 

[ShawnandJamie]

Hi Erika,

My Ds will be 141/2 when we sail in October. He isn't into sports and he loves video games. Maybe, when the trip gets a little closer they can exchange e-mails and get acquainted before the trip. I know my son would like to get to know some people before we sail.

Hi everybody,

Welcome to all the new comers. I have been busy this week. I wrecked my new Jeep Liberty. I was so sick about it!! Well, I've spent most of the week speaking with the insurance co. and body shop. Hopefully, I will have it fixed in about a week. Our group is really beginning to grow. Hope, everybody has a great weekend!

That would be great! Sorry to hear about your Jeep Liberty, I would be so bummed if my car was wrecked!!!

Kritter, I'm sorry your daughter is still sick. Sometime it seems that stuff hangs on forever.

My dd is doing great with her braces. I myself, am having a One Tree Hill marathon this weekend. I only watch it on DVD and I've been waiting to get my turn with season 3 from Blockbuster or the library and I finally got it tonight! Turned out to be perfect timing as we are finally getting MN winter storm. Winds are howling around 35 mph and it's sleeting with 2 days of snow coming shortly. I am dying to watch another episode of OTH, but I need to watch the weather on the news in 15 minutes .

I picked up some Pirates lanyards and headbands tonight at the $1 section at Target. I'm being very optimistic for 2008 .

I hope everyone has a good weekend!

[3sons]

I feel like I'm not keeping up!
DS9 had a classmate killed in an accident this past week. I've spent a lot of time with him lately. He's been pretty upset . Everybody hug your kids!
