Michelle,

You work fast!!! We will be joining you again. When did you book? I checked on those secret porthole rooms and they were gone when we were booking and that was like Monday!!!

We got 2 of the sideways Cat 11 rooms. My hubby loved it this time. It felt bigger to him and he loves the darkness!! Are you home already?

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

I just got home a little bit ago, grabbed some subway and started a load of laundry. I have a tote out for things that I used on this cruise(toiletries, FE, etc) gonna put all that in the tote and save for this cruise. Let's see I booked I think thursday...after Robin convinced me!! At the time they had 3 left and I picked the one that WASN'T connected in case a family of more then 4 wanted 2 connecting. Anyhow I am gonna check out a pic of the wondow in my room and if I dont want it then I am upgrading to Oceanview deck 6.

I have some ideas for our logo----maybe a Mickey with a mexican sambraro? any name ideas????

Goes to show you that you always have to keep checking if you want a specific room. My DH wants to stay in our Cat 11 sideways room. He's not even interested in moving to a SPH room even if one is available. Crazy. We just got in the door after driving 12 hours. DH is in bed and says we will unload in the morning so no laundry for me until in the morning.

So here's our cruise list so far:

ForTheLoveOfDCL -- The Nolan Family -- Ohio
Mindibellcm -- The Bell Family -- Tennessee
Mindibellcm's Family -- The Lashbrook Family -- Tennessee



As far as names go: I'll ask my DH. He usually gets creative with that stuff.
Logo: Love Mickey with a Sambraro. I'll think on that as well.

Have a good evening.

Hello girls!!!! I will be joining you again also! I am very excited and cant wait. I loved this cruuise so much that I had to book again! Actually, Michelle made me...just kiddin'
I booked the same room we were in before #6608. Loved the veranda.

See you girls in 2011!!! Miss you Michelle

We booked this cruise while on board also! We got our favorite room on the ship, 6134!! Michelle, I sent you a PM a while back about the October 3rd cruise, that I would check in with the group closer to the cruise, but we decided to keep our trip a secret from some of our friends and just surprise them when we got on the ship. It worked, they were surprised! I did run into Heather on the Radisson shuttle and told her I had been lurking a while. Anyway, we decided to book this cruise also. My DW is a school teacher so we won't really know if we are going on this cruise or the October 9th cruise until the 2011 school calendar comes out, hopefully in January. Until then, we are on this cruise!!

Allen,
We are doing the same thing as you. We have this cruise booked banking that our Fall Break will remain the same but they can always change it. We won't know for sure until the calendar comes out! We are in Rutherford County.

Hi everyone!! We also booked while on board I had such a great time..thanks for talking me into this one Robin (with a little help from Michelle) My DH said he actually liked the cruise too, just didn't want our boys to know, since they didn't go..Can't wait..two years seems like a long time

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

BIG RED----who was it u actually surprised?? Someone from our Disney Dreamers board??

So has anyone been to the Mexican Riviera---anything ya recommend? I am looking into a dolphin swim somewhere cause we were gonna do it in Cozumel but did MNSSHP instead. I am glad cause now Nelia will be older this time and I am unsure what or if we are doing Disneyland. I heard that it can be disappointing when u are used to Cindrella's castle at WDW and it's a very small Sleeping beauty castle at DL. So I am gonna check into a few things....Sydney(9) wants to see Miley Cyrus....LOL true Tween!! Maybe something special will be going on when we go out--well I am home not feeling well....a little stomach issues. I am off to fold the clothes into a tote so DH can pack all the summer stuff in the attack and pack away our FE and cruise things till this cruise...ok so my Dreamers know that I will start packing Jan 2011....LOL

Off to handle all this....TTFN

I have added a link to your thread on the main index page. Have a great cruise!

BIG RED----who was it u actually surprised?? Someone from our Disney Dreamers board?? .....

One of the people we were trying to surprise was 1971Visitor, who posted on the DD board a few times. There were about 60 people on the cruise from our hometown. Only 4 or 5 people knew we were going. There are a few disers among that bunch who might have been lurking on the DD board, so that is why we decided not to post. Anyway, we're not hiding from anyone this cruise, so it's on!! Y'all will probably get tired of me!!
I have been checking out the Pacific Cruise Ship Terminal (PCST) already. When the Magic was there in '07 she docked at Berth 93. There is no schedule for 2011 yet. Right now, Princess ships are docking at Berth 93.

I have been doing a little digging about what is available for shore excursions. I just "Googled" this stuff. I do not make any representation or recommendations for these companies, I know nothing about them. This is just food for thought. We have a little time to dig and think about it!!

BigRed...I have checked out some of those sites too......Glad I have time to research but I wish it was only a yr not 2!!

As for the Berth....I called Castaway Club line today asking a different question and the operator and I got to talking cause she just happened to see when I cruised last and she too was on our cruise! So anyhow we were talking about Sand Pedro port and she said that Disney would be at Term. 93 a/b. Hopefully that is reliable info!!

I wish I could take the Residence Inn in PC and move it to LA...loved that hotel when we stayed before the cruise..it was awesome!! Plus we got a 2 room suite for 120...good deal since the room normally is 250!! Ok well off to start seperating stuff to scrapbook! TTFN

I'm sorry Mindi, I thought I had replied to your post, but I can't find it!! maybe I wrote it, and then didn't post it. Maybe it was this dang computer! Either way, Hello neighbor! We go to Mufreesboro right regularly. My DW goes to Whats New, and I like The Avenue! Although we haven't been in a while, we used to go to The Front Porch frequently. Don't know if they are even still open or not.

I love the Avenue too just not on a cold dreary day like today. I need to be back on the MAGIC. I think the Front Porch is still open but changed owners about 5 years ago. I haven't been since they changed hands. Murfreesboro is really growing!

Did you purchase air thru Disney? If not, we will have to keep each other posted on what we find as our cruise gets closer.

We did not buy air through Disney. Southwest has some non-stops from Nashville to LAX. Disney wanted $635 each to fly. Southwest has some Wanna-Get-Away fares at the moment for $135 to $155 each way. Even being 2 years away, I think we will be able to do much better with the airfare than Disney.

Agreed. I didn't even have them price the air while we were on board. I will be stalking southwest as we closer to time. Isn't it about 9 months or so before the date when they open up bookings?

Ok...so I asked Milliepie if she had anything .....and she had this.

Any suggestions? It's cute! Are we gonna come up with a special name like we did with Disney Dreamers or just gonna be the mexican riviera?? I don't care what we do....I think it's fun having a logo no matter how far out we are cause then people can play around with graphics for FE ideas....I know it's really far out but if I come up with a cute idea then I am gonna spit out like 50 whenever I can so I am not feeling ANY pressure. And I am working on a web page for this cruise as well, though I will make a better list to follow for FE delivery cause when everyone switched rooms on me it screwed up my order....I want a better list cause I hated using my own list to deliver...LOL Well I hope everyone has a great footbal Sunday!!
