October 2, 2011 Disney Wonder Mexican Riviera-"Mickey's Mexican Mouseketeers!"

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Thank you Robin! And thanks to all my Facebook buds for all the BDay wishes.......Ok so wake up Mousketeers!! I am freezing here in O-H-I-O! A little snow came this morning but not sticking. I soooo need a cruise. It feels like we have been off the boat more then 2 1/2 months. OMG I dont wanna age my kids or anything but dang 2011 hurry up!

 

[kpflillirpf]

Hey all! Hope everyone is doing well.

Corinna - your vacation sounds so wonderful! I can't wait to see pictures (hint, hint).

Michelle, I'm with you on the cruise thing. It's freezing here! It snowed beautifully early in the evening yesterday and then it turned to ice, freezing rain and now just plain rain. If it's going to do something I'd rather it just snow like crazy and be done with it. And, what's worse for me is my car tires need to be replaced in a huge way and I can't do that for another week. So although the roads are now only wet I'm going to have to be very careful tonight when the temps start to drop. Not fun!

Anyway, although we are in a financial hardship at this moment, I'm really hoping that somehow some way I will be able to come up with a few extra funds to do a short cruise with just my hubby early next year. I now sell Avon so I'm doing all I can to try to save as many funds as possible from that. If it doesn't happen at least I'll have a very good start to my Mexican Riviera cruise!

Well, that's all for now. Take care everyone!!!!! Kristi

 

[kpflillirpf]

Hey everyone! Guess I'm having a conversation with myself. LOL

So Kristi, how has your Christmas shopping been going? Well, seeing as how I really only started today, I'm doing pretty good. Thanks for asking.

And, are you decorated and ready for Christmas Kristi? Well, I'm decorated but, as you can see by my answer to the first question, I've still got a ways to go with wrapping gifts and such.

So Kristi, will you be ready for Christmas? Yes I Will! It helps that my loving husband helps to buy gifts and to wrap them.

LOL Okay, so I'm not right! Tee Hee

Anyway, to those of you who are celebrating Hanukah, Happy Hanukah! ) And for those of us getting ready to celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas! ) And to all of you, Happy New Year!

And now, to all a good night! Kristi

Kristi---I was gonna post but thought no-one was even reading the DIS. Well besides Robin but I talk to her daily.

Glad to see you are getting ready for Christmas. We celebrated with my in-laws on Sunday---glad to see my sister-in-law and family that cruised with us but just muttlled through with the others. Lori and fam are gonna come stay the night Xmas eve and enjoy our special red-suit visitor and then stay and open Xmas presents in the morning. It will be so fun to share the morning together.

Well I have to go cook dinner ..I will be back to finish and reedit this! TTFN

Ok so it's the morning and I returned. Kristi---this is a special time---just last year we were enjoying sharing the moments before Katelin came into your life. After searching the Dreamers thread I can't find the exact date that you were givin the blessing of Katelin. I thought I had the blog you guys wrote saved in my favs but I probably lost it when my comp had issues.
I am so excited we get to spend 1 yr and 9months and so on being involved in each others lives and sharing another cruise! It's so nice that the "Dreamers" returnng for this cruise are the ones who were involved alot in that cruise! I am even more excited about the "MOuseketeers" cruise!

Kim--the girls are excited too. It seems so busy around here and since I am working this year it's not as enjoyable cause I feel so overwhelmed!

Well I better get ready for work I hope you all are having a Magical Holiday Season!
TTFN

Have a great week.

OK ---is anyone going on this cruise.... In the last month there hasn't been very many postings.

Well I was excited to get an email a few days ago from Disney saying Welcome to another cruise. At first I thought , they couldn't possibly be talking about the Mexican Riviera, maybe they booked me on another
But no it was the Mousketeers cruise. I actually am getting excited they are posting info. I can't wait till they get excursion info, it gives me something to research. I have already found the hotel I am seriously considering. It's a Residence Inn just like we stayed in in PC Kim. I loved that hotel and I think we are thinking of going out 3 days early so I want a nice place. I actually have looked at excursions on RCCL and Carnival since they go there just to get an idea! Well I guess I have rambled to myself enough.....I am feeling like Kristi...

I hope everyone has a good weekend! TTFN

There will definitely be photos. The camera is fully charged and I will take the laptop as well. We have extended our vacation by an extra two days as we are flying standby (first time ever) and the loads for December 30th looked horrible. I have a Dune Dinner Safari booked for boxing day, but other than that we will just chill out and hopefully swim a lot.

I am still here, but have not had much time to spend online recently. We are hopefully going to spend some time in San Diego before the cruise and maybe a few days at Disneyland afterwards. This is such a long way to come for us that it has to be worth our while.

Howdy all! Merry Christmas to everyone! Or, Happy Hanukah!

Michelle - I am thrilled that a bunch of us (the more involved ones) are able to do this cruise together too. It's very special for sure! Definitely makes the trip even more exciting.

Things are busy around here and will continue through the end of the year before it calms down. My guess is more of us will be back on this thread after the New Year.

What e-mail did you get Michelle? I haven't gotten one. Guess I'll have to watch for it.

Well, gotta get back to work. Only a couple more hours to go before I'm freeeeeeeee!

Take care and lots of love to ya'll! Kristi

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Kristi--I got some email that just welcomed me back.....I thought itwas a bit early but what ever..LOL

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Season! I will type more after xmas.

 

[BigRed1]

Merry Christmas all!! I promise to get more involved on the thread in the coming year. I do check the board everyday to see if anything big is happening. I love to Dis as much as you all do, just been busy busy!! See you more in the new year!

 

[kimmcbee]

Merry Christmas all!!!!!! Hope you have a great day and a safe new year

 

[disneydiva16]

Merry Christmas!!!!
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!!

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Well just wanted to stop in and say hi! I am so excited that in a few days we can stop saying we are cruising in 2011 and instead be able to say we are cruising NEXT YEAR! I know it's only a few days but it's a state of mind...LOL We are down to 1 yr 9 months!! We have made progress!!
I hope all of you have had safe and wonderful holidays! Though most of ya I chat with on FB. Maybe our cruise will grow after Jan and people get income tax money....though I do remember from our last cruise we had many come in the last 6-9 months. I have gotten some ideas for FE's and got a few things for the youngest girls. Shopped off clearance...always gotta be in FE thoughts to find some cute things.
My girls did good for xmas...just made sure they got the one main thing they were asking for and of course a few other things. Sydney has not put down her DS and Nelia loves her newest addition to her American Girl doll family. Now of course Nelia is asking for a DS too...Lucky for her she has a b-day on Jan 28th so I bought an extra one on sale on black friday knowing she would want one. So bday is done!!!
So anything interesting going on for all of you? Mindi and Kim, I hope your travels have been safe. Kristi, I hope you are getting your DH back from all his xtra work. Robin and Norma...ahh I talk to you guys weekly....LOL and Terri---well girl share some warmer weather this way---don't be so stingy(ok not sure how to spell) anotherwards, don't hog it all! Corinna --I hope you had a wonderful time over the holidays enjoying time away from home!!

Well off to work....hope to chat with ya'all later....

I am watching the DCL special on Travel Channel......I might not make it till October 2011 for a cruise.....

 

[disneydiva16]

Oh I forgot that they were running the Disney Cruise line special again today. Darn I missed it. I have seen it before but I just love watching it over again. Well, I guess I will wait for it to come on again. They seem to run it every couple of weeks.

 

[BigRed1]

Happy New Year cruise fans!!!

[dolphingirl47]

Happy New Year to all of you. We had a fantastic time in Dubai and I will get started on the trip report later this week. I am having some fairly extensive dental work done on Thursday which will require some sick leave so I probably will have plenty of computer time. I also will finally finish off the last trip report over the next few weeks.

Happy New Year Mouseketeers!!!!!

Welcome back from vacation Corinna.....I am really looking forward to ur trip reports...I love reading them! So I see you still have the SOLO cruise trip ticker up....U still going? I hope your dental work goes well....I had alot done recently as well.....I haven't had dental issurance in yrs so now that the DH and I have invested in that I have had alot of teeth fixed that have gone astray.

Well I hope everyone had a wonderful new yr and I look foward to our cruise next yr!!!!

Michelle

 

[kpflillirpf]

Hi everyone! Happy New Year!

Got lots on my plate right now. 2010 has already started out with a huge bang (and not necessarily in the correct direction) and it only gets better. Feel the sarcasm just dripping. Who knows what will be in store for us this year. Only time will tell.

In the meantime, I keep dreaming of our cruise and keep wishing it were here NOW!

Blessings to every one of you for 2010 and I look forward to communicating with you all more and more as the year progresses.

I left the ticker up as I had still not entirely given up on this, but it is becoming more unlikely by the day. What is becoming more likely that both Graham and I will book one of the Med cruises on short notice. I had booked an Eastern Caribbean cruise for our anniversary in 2011 and had intended to give this to Graham as his Christmas present, but he does not want to do this cruise. So we will transfer the booking to a Med cruise this year. There are some great Cat 12 prices around at the moment for those cruises.

Of course I had our vow renewal planned for the February 2011 cruise so I need to find another cruise for that and what better cruise for it then our cruise.
