2 MONTHS FROM TODAY WE SET SAIL!!! I'm so excited.. I hope all of you are too.. I wish that we would all start talking more : ( I would love to get to know everyone but no one is really chatty.. So I'm going to start

HI My name is Carrie Lynn. My parent and I are going to be on this cruise. We are all from Pleasant Hope, Missouri.. A small town of 500 people a little north of Springfield. Even though I'm 30, I'm a student at Missouri State University in Springfield. I'm going for a degree in Hospitality and Hotel Management. My parents are also in school as we are trying to reasses thing. I love dolphins so I'm extatic about going on the dolphin excurion in Nassau!! This is my 3rd cruise, 2nd with Disney and my parents first. I think that they are going to be surprised how large the ship is. My dad was calling it a boat and we had to correct him : P Before the cruise we are going to spend a couple of days in Tampa at Busch Gardens and a day at Disney going between MK and EP. The daythat we return we are going to MNSSHP that I am trying to find a princess dress to wear for! Anyways, I hope that we are all able to have a great trip and atleast get to know one another!

Also I just noticed that alot of the kids ages are really close so maybe your guys need to chat so that way the kids would know atleast one person or more in their club that they could hang out with and have a friend

Hello All!


Please count us in for FE!!


Trisha

Trisha - you are all set up for the FE. Welcome aboard!

Per Carrie Lynn's request, My name is Scott and my wife is Mary. This will be our 2nd cruise - the first one was on the Wonder for our 30th wedding anniversary last year. We won the pirate trivia contest on our last cruise! In real life I work as a software engineer for large telecommunications companies, and Mary is a scientist for Colgate-Palmolive. For fun we are both experienced motorcyclists and we also teach motorcycle safety courses. We'll be staying at the Boardwalk Villas for a few days before and after the cruise, and are looking forward to enjoying the food and wine festival.

HI Scott!!! WOW 30 year ( well probley 31 by now) My parents have also been married 31 years... I'm not going to be asking you any pirate trivia you would probley kick my butt at that!! LOL.. You and Mary have such fun jobs it sounds!! I use to want to be a marine Biologist. And my Chem teacher kept trying to convince me to go into Chem but it never worked out as I didn't know exactly what I was going to do with it!! But that sounds like fun.. I think it would be better to work at like Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream company in VT.. Get to make all those different flavors. That would be ALOT of fun atleast to me.. LOL.. I have heard that a few of the islands have motorcycle tours... Have you looked in Nassau? That would be fun.. You just rent one for the day and you just ride around.. I think that would be alot of fun especially if it was somewhere that you have been to before. Get out of the tourist area into the REAL island!! i've always wanted to stay at the Boardwalk.. I don't really like the Pool though. The huge Clown freaks me out : P I love the food and wine festival. It is one of my favorites!! LOVE IT.. I enjoy the additional countries that are represented and that you can have Chedder Cheese Soup without having to make a dinning reservation : P The wine isn't that much for me as I don't really drink all that much.. I'm sure I will get a konk cooler at Castaway and a sail away drink!! But that is probley about it... I have to laugh as my mom is just like that but she is SO excited to get one of those fruity drinks with the umbrella for the sailaway partyMy mom don't get excited over much but she is DEFINATLY excited for this trip!!!!!

Oh Sweetie.. This cruise is just want you need.. Some time for some R&R.. CC is also a great place to think too.. If you take a walk on the bike trail to the untouched part of the beach it is just quiet and so peaceful!

Thanks Carrie or is it Carrie Lynn??? Sheryl78 is my BFF from college and Syntax are 2 of my my cousins so I know I will have fun! Spending 5 days at Bay Lake Tower before the cruise. Food and Wine Festival is a yearly event for me and a good place to get things started before the cruise. I'm excited about taking my new friend though.

Good Morning!!! Carrie Lynn is fine!!! Carrie is my mom That is so cool that you have friends coming with ya.. I'm jelous about BLT.. I have looked at renting points to try to stay there but even then it isn't like you are guarenteeded to stay there. That is awesome. Do you know what kind of veiw that you have? I have told my mom for graudation that I want to stay there for a week with a MK view. Don't see that happeneing but you never know.. Food and Wine is the BEST. I love the food more then the wine but I went atleast 5 times when I lived in Orlando.

 

[MODisneyfan]

Good Mickey Morning!!!! Hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend!! Mine was CRAZY.. I am taking a pre-Accounting class that starts today so I was trying to get things organized like my room, book bag, ect.. Well I got my room and laundry done but that was about it : P AND on top of that I was taking my shower and my mom runs in and one of our cats are having kittens. Last time she lost all 6 of them that she had but this time she seems to be doing much better. She only had 4 ( 2 yellow and white, 1 calico and 1 all white) But they are so small that I don't know if they are going to make it or not but we will see...

So how is everyone doing on the cruise front? Have the shore excusions been made? What ya doin? What about dinning? Did you get your palo reservation or di you have to try to get one onboard?

So I thought I would ask another getting to know you question - What is one interesting fact about you? I have quite a few.. 1) I use to work for the Disney Travel Company in 2008 and it was one of the best jobs I ever had. 2) I have auditioned for a number of years (2005-2007 3 seasons) of American Idol and have made it to the next to last round once!!

OK, well I hope that you all have a magical day!!!

SO I got an email from Disney today about things that you can add to the room like flowers and such. Well they have a great deal on prepaid pictures. 10 credits ( 5x7 =1 credit or 8x10 = 2 credits) for 89.00 20 for 149 or 30 for 199.. I don't know how many pictures I am going to be taking on a 3 day but I know that is a good deal as I think the 5x7's are like 12.00 or something on the cruise.. I THINK.. So Don't get angry if I'm not correct. That makes it 6.67 each for the 30 pics (that seems a little much for 3 days though) and then there are the 20 that equals up to be 7.45 a picture for the 5x7's! I really wish that they had more of a photopass system like they do at the park where you could add your park and cruise pictures onto one CD. That would be AWESOME!!!!!!

GOOD MORNING,

Where is everyone!! I thought that the more I talked the more people would post.. Guess not.. 54 days until I leave for FL

 

[cherylp3]

good morning - don't forget to visit the tiki room when you come to wdw. went there yesterday.

 

[MODisneyfan]

AND??? What did ya think??? Is it better now then it was under new management?

 

[MODisneyfan]

HUM!!!! I just was reading where the port doesn't open now until 11am? I signed up earlier but it looks like they just added me to the 11am to 11:30 group.. I just hadn't heard this and wanted to make sure that everyone else knew!

 

[Never grow up]

Carrie Lynn, This trip is a one bedroom with MK view. I've had it before and it was awesome. Nothing like having a bubble bath in the jacuzzi tub and see out the window to the castle. It's using up all my 2012 points but I don't mind. Next year I'll just pay cash and stay at the Poly. Everyone in my party all got 11am as well. Hopefully we can enjoy a full day of fun onboard before we set sail.

o...m...G!!! That would be AMAZING. I told my mom but ofcourse she wasn't as excited!! that is AMAZING!!! Have I mentioned that is amazing : P That acually sounds perfect right about now. I might look into getting into DVC. I don't know much about it but we spend so much money on trips every year it would be nice to know that we would already have the room paid for and we could also go to other destinations like Hawaii!

WOO HOO for 11am peeps : P

 

[cherylp3]

yes much better with the old management back
