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

[BigRed1]

My Goodness!! We are going to have a ship full of dissers!! to all the new cruisers! With a group this big, that Jimmy Buffett party should be a shoe-in. Should we select a Parrothead theme song??? What do you think? BTW Parrotheads, I'm sure you know about the Live in Anguilla CD/DVD set that was released today. I got mine last night! Great concert. Anguilla is just 6-8 miles north of St. Martin!
Kristen, I sent you an email.

Yes, lets select a theme song.. Sounds great I will go and check the email now...Good to hear from you Allen..



HI DEE AND DON!!!!!!!!

 

[kritter]

OOOH my gosh Allen I love the idea of the list. Allen just emailed me a list that he has started so we can keep all of us pirate cruisers straight.. Great job. Thanks for starting it Allen. Your the BEST....I emailed you back...




Soooo happy we added onto our DVC contract today. I am calling tomorrow to make my ressies for before the cruise. We have decided to go down the Wed. before we cruise........


I was totally freaked out today the school sent home a notice that a child was diagnosed with Mersa.UGH!!!!!!!!!!

First, congrats PrincessHeathersMom, I am so pleased it all worked out for you.

Second, I am so sorry everyone is getting so sick, Jenna has had a runny nose, but hasn't developed into anything so far, and Jacob's asthma is bad right now, but it seems everyone is sick these days, UCK.

Third, Carol got back to Alec (my dh) last night via email and offered us the same price plus a $200 onboard credit plus all the extras we get as a group!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately she doesn't have any rooms on deck 2 so we are probably going to move to a Cat. 8, which is only about $400 more. She said there is a great room on Deck 5 that isn't far from the children's programming which suits me fine because I am a huge worry wart when it comes to my kids. So Alec is going to cancell today and rebook with Carol which keeps us on this cruise and gets us all the extras. Thanks so much Kristin. This is shaping up to be major fun in the Sun!!!!

I am very excited, thanks everyone. I'll post as soon as dh says we are confirmed!!!

Mersa, I don't even know what that is???? Sounds icky!

There is a list of us now? Do we all get to see it?

I am getting a cold now too, spent half the night on the couch so my cough wouldn't wake up dh. I hate coughing!!!

Jenn, glad to hear you are starting to feel better!!!

Congrats to you Sandy on joining us officially!

Those of us in Carols group, have we thought about what amenity we might want, the brunch or the cocktail reception?

Gina that's great, Carol is working hard for us these days! She said she only has 2 cabins left in our group rate, we must be filling that ship up!

 

[kritter]

Gina,

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I am open to either the brunch or the reception. What does anyone else think who is booked with Carol.

Anyone else who is interested in joining our "group rate" should contact Carol soon since like Erika said she can only accept two more cabins in our group.
The more we have the merrier. Plus then more extras. We are going to have a HUGE group.

Mersa is that strep. virus that does not respond to anitbotics and healthy people are dying from it. I can not believe a kids in our school has contracted it.. UGH!!!!!!!!!


Cold here today tooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just ordered my Christmas cards and have to pick them up this morning.

Anyone have any thoughts on the WII?? I was thinking of getting it for Christmas that is if I can find one??

Gina, I'm so glad everything has worked out for you. Really glad.

As far as our perk goes, I think I'd like to do the brunch. But as you will find out, I'm an easy going, laid back person when it comes to decision making while on vacation. I'm just happy to be on vacation and I go w the flow (w a drink in my hand usually).

Next on my agenda is getting a copy of that Passport! I think I'm going to order it on-line.

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Gina, Oh gosh great minds think alike that is me just want to relax with a drink in my hand tooo!!!!!!!

Erika,
Allen started keeping a list. I am sure he will post about it on here.. He emailed me last night a copy of it to see what I thought.

Anyone else think a list is a good idea??

Thanks again Allen..

 

[kritter]

The last few days have really FUN around here our thread just keeps growing and growing.....

Ditto and thanks. I want a copy too!! Please. I know that last year I kept the list and it really helped me to know who was coming and who was not. I posted it in a post and someone on the thread provided me with a link to put in my siggi so everyone could find it. That would be nice. Lois

 

[elgerber]

I like the Brunch idea too for our group, cocktails we can get anywhere.

Ooooh that sound nasty Kristin, I'll have to read up on that, that would scare the heck out of me!

Plenty cold here today, it was about 29 when I got up! But I suppose I better get used to it, as I do live in Minnesota (why that is, I'm not so sure).

Wii is awesome Kristin, I waited in line at 3 am last year to get one. It's a great game for families, especially those like me who stink at games. Wii sports (the game that comes with it) is a blast!

Lois,

Tell me you did not have to count up all of the posts to find this info. out??


ERika,

It is an awfull strep. infection~ has been in our media a ton here.
COLD COLD COLD here today....I have to go out for a science fair meeting and do not want to leave my house at all..

Do you think I will be able to get a WII???

 

[elgerber]

Do you think I will be able to get a WII???

I have seen them a few times in the last few months on the shelf at Target. If I lived closer I'd pick one up for you. I still could, but then you'd have to pay to ship it. Just keep your eyes open and you might get lucky!

I looked in Target the other day none. I may go to Walmart today and look. If I get desperate I may take you up on that offer and of course I would pay for shipping. Can you tell me what else I should get with it?? Like extra controls etc??

I thought I could get Hanna a Hannah Montana Game and Hope a High School Musical Game and Bruce a Star Wars Game..

Thanks,

Welcome to all of the new cruisers. This is gonna be a great cruise.

For those of you waiting on Carol......don't give up. She is great and works alot. She often calls me after 6:00 p.m. I am so glad that Kritter referred me to Carol. Thanks Kritter!

I love the idea of a list. Please send me one too.

I also like the idea of a Brunch.

Just checked out the Disney Cruise Line Site and there are no Category 12, 11, or 10's left for our dates. Looks like it's gonna be full for our cruise. I can't wait to meet y'all.

In KY this morn it is 32 degrees but it will warm up to around 45-50. The trees are beautiful here this time of year.

For those of you who are new...check out the website Kritter has made for our cruise. It is great.

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Lois,

Let me tell you it took me hours and hours to figure out how to copy and paste the list from the DIS Cruise Meet board.

Once I figured it out it only take a few seconds. If you go to the main meet board and go to the thread you want the stats on. Over to the side you will see two numbers, one for number of post and one for number of views. If you click on the number of post number it will provide you with the list I posted and the number of post each person has made to date.

It is kinda fun to see where you are in that list and I am so sorry to say I normally find myself towards the top. No, I do not have a life. If I did I would be at the bottom but I live and work for my Disney Vacations. It is so sad but make me very happy. Got to get busy. Lois

Really cool thanks Lois for sharing I always wondered how people did that. Pretty cool to see how much we have all posted. All I can say is that I need to get a life....LOL!!!!!!!!!
