Kevin,

My answer is that you are in the Belly of the ship somewhere!!! Do I get another KUDO's???????? That's my answer and I'm sticking to it!!! With a Golden Mickey watching over it all. Hey........wait a minute.......... could this be the Walt Disney Theater????? Oh I'm sooooooooooo confused!!!! I need to bone up on my Disney trivia. My DGD knows the answeres to all of these queations. And. my DW does too!! But the lovely me ain't gots a clue!!!!!
Hey everybody, only 49 days to go!!! It's coming up fast. Finishing shopping thia week-end according to DW (Psssssst, come here, She's said that the past 6 week-ends!!! Don't tell her I told you though. She'd hit me with a frying pan!!!)

 

[jenmack]

Kevin, my DH says it's studio sea ??? I want to say it's around there by diversions, rockin bar D, where all the adult entertainment is. ???

I'm slipping here, I need to get back on that ship fast!

AND, as the grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side I would love to trade Florida or Arizona or better yet...A disney cruise in the Caribbean over a week with relatively no sun, rain, clouds, gloom, cool, but humid, clammy weather. Any takers ??? Let's just say I am sooo dreaming of the "Magic" right now.

Did they(DCL) tell you guys where they were going to take you? Seeing is Costa Maya is pretty much gone.

Hi all! I have been so busy this summer with kids home, working, etc. that I haven't been on the DIS boards too much. Just wanted to say hello to all! We are getting so psyched for the cruise!! For those of you who are new, my name is Tracy and my husband is Jeff. We are bringing the youngest of 5 with us...our dd Alex who will be 9. The older kids are either in high school or college and opted to stay home. We live in MA and have been to WDW a few times, but this is our first cruise.

Unfortunately, I was working the overnight shift at the hospital and missed the 3am login to try and get Palo reservations. I will try once we board as we are celebrating our anniversary while on the cruise. We did book one excursion, the St. John eco hike. It looks neat. Hopefully it'll be fun and not too strenuous for Alex. We'll see.

Are we planning a DIS meet...tshirts...etc? I have some catching up to do!!

TTYL!! Tracy : )

Boy, BigBen, have you forgotten already?! LOL
I'd blame it on the pregnancy but since it's your DW that's pregnant...

We're on the Eastern Cruise

 

[DisneyFamilyTX]

Welcome to all new posters! Glad to have you along with us. I'm starting to feel like we're closing in on the end of a long marathon. The finish line is in sight, yet I seem to be more distracted lately away from the boards.

In an effort to re-vitalize I am pleased to tell you Disney is sending "our" ship back to the US! The Magic is at the moment somewhere in the Atlantic steaming its way back to us!

In case anyone missed it - the Travel Channel had the Disney Cruise show on tonight - of course I have it on demand anytime! My DD loves to sit with Daddy and watch "Disney." She's not yet two, but that word has been in her vocab shortly after "Momma" and "Daty"

Only 48 days! Cheers - Tex...

(BTW - anyone else seeing a slow response by the server on this site?)

A warm (insert HOT) welcome from Phoenix. driving into the office this morning (at 0430) I was greeted by....RAIN. This is great news...we will prob only make 103 today...ohhhhh with tons o humidity. Our air conditioner has been working overtime...guess that's why I'm putting in some extra hours.

Welcome to the new members...hope you find some of your answers and can help the rest of us pass the time till our MAGIC'al vacation.

Kevin, my DH says it's studio sea ??? I want to say it's around there by diversions, rockin bar D, where all the adult entertainment is. ???

The last thing I want to start is unrest in the home – so….I won’t say who was correct (hee hee)….the photo is of ‘Studio Sea’ – Deck 4 Midship.

Kristi PS: When I introduced our family I didn't share much. Sooo, here it goes: Me (37), DH (41), DD (5), we live in Harrisburg, PA, my DH

I just saw the photos you posted on our Yahoo Groups web site – Lilli is beautiful…what a fantastic smile. Thanks for sharing.

YES!!!! That's great news!!! Am hoping someone taking an Eastern cruise will post some new Navigators. If anybody sees any...please let me know...the most receint I know of is from this January.

Hope all have a great weekend....Kevin

Pooh, I'm a TARD! duh. I guess this would be a good time to stop sniffing glue.

 

[kpflillirpf]

Just had a moment to check the board. Thanks Kevin for those kind words about Lil. She truly is a blessing to us. I'm getting more and more excited as the days tick by. I'm spending my time reading LOTs of info about DCL and planning a couple of surprises up my sleeve for my DH and DD. I hope everyone is having a great summer (boy is it HOT here) and doing their best to stay cool. On a separate note, I do have a question. Has our group decided on what we're going to wear/bring, etc. to recognize each other? Also, I realize there is a poll on the Yahoo Group about meeting the day before. Will there be another chance to still meet up the day of for those of us who probably won't be there the day before? Just curious. Take it easy! Kristi

 

[APOOHFN]

BigBen! I'm just raggin' on ya cuz you deserted us LOL!

 

[MinnesotaMouseketeers]

Good Morning

We are staying at the CBR the night before we board the Magic and we received our Magical Express documents Saturday

It has luggage tags for each of us, our vouchers for boarding the bus, and all the instructions.

To say that this increases the excitement level a bit is an understatement.

Hopefully the Cruise documents are close behind

 

[kpflillirpf]

Hi MinnesotaMouseketeers! Can I say I'm jealous! I want my tags and such too!!!! We received the folder-type material with info about the cruise (about the excursions, etc.) but no tags, etc. yet. Can't wait for that info to arrive. Not to much longer to go! YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Take care! Kristi

 

[U2FanHfx]

Hi All,

I've been quietly lurking for weeks with no posts really. I enjoy reading all your updates, keep them coming

On the subject of luggage tags, we are using ME for the week after the cruise. I doubt the tags will get here on time. This has happened once before. For other people info, as long as you are in the system, you should be OK.

Regs,

Chad J.

I read on a trip report that DCL buses took passengers from the airport to two resorts first and then to Port Canaveral. I was under the impression that once you boarded the bus at the airport you just ride straight to the Port, is this not true? Our flight lands at 9:30 am the morning of the cruise and if we are going to be touring around before hand I think I might just rent a car instead.....

 

[bevtoy]

Hello again! Woo Hoo! The internet people repaired my broadband and I am up and running again. I also get a new PC in a week or so. Good thing I took out that rider on all our PCs, one is completely useless and the other two had to be repaired.

I just reviewed the new pics up at the off site and kpflillirpf..........yout Lil is a gorgeous little girl!
I want my tags too!

Kevin I just got a 4 GB memory card for my camera and can't wait to picture share with everyone! I am a picture taking fool.

 

[kpflillirpf]

Hey bevtoy! Thanks for the kind words. Lil is very special to us. We've truly been blessed. Her personality matches her beauty (if you ask her mom and dad anyway). HEE HEE

To all! I certainly can't wait to meet all of you and all your kids. So thrilled to see that there will be some children around the same age as our DD in the DIS group. Very cool. I'm still trying to get some surprises together for the family without the DH knowing. Not easy though. Has anyone had packages sent to the ship before (either through Disney or through another place)? Is it really expensive? Just curious. Take care! Kristi

 

[jenmack]

Kristi, last time when just my hubby & I cruised I had a basket sent to him thru shirley from The Perfect Gift and I'm doing so again this time for DH & the kiddlets. Shhhhh, it's a surprise.

Anywho, Shirley is as sweet as ever and she's on the boards too. She's pretty reasonable in price and you can even send a couple things to her to have her put in the basket. Otherwise I know Disney does do baskets too.

Oh, and Shirley's website is www.theperfectgift.cc and you can have her make up a basket(s) anyway you want (with in reason). You don't have to go by what she just has on her website.

I hope everyone is enjoying there weekend!!!

 

[seagee]

I second Shirley and theperfectgift.cc !! Last time I had one basket sent to our room for DD and DH. I told Shirley how much I wanted to spend and what I wanted in it. She is wonderful. It was a great surprise for both of them. Of course there will be another waiting in our room on October 13th!

Bev glad to know you are back!
Cathy

 

[kpflillirpf]

Hey Cathy and JenMack! Thanks so much for the info. I'll have to get in touch with Shirley and see what we can come up with.

To All: Don't know where anyone else is in the school department but school starts for Lil tomorrow. I can't believe my little girl is going to kindergarten. Boo Hoo Anyway, to all of you who have kids starting back to school next week, I wish them all great success during their school year. Talk to ya tomorrow after I've survived the first day of kindergarten. Kristi
