October 22, 2005 Roll call

[scrapperjill]

I know it's early...but just wanted to see if anyone else was out there. I skimmed through the other cruise meet dates and didn't see one for 10/22/05 yet...if there is one out there just direct me in the right way.

Any how...just booked our family of four for the Disney Magic Western cruise....onboard our modifyed western cruise. Since we were not able to stop at any of our planned ports....we had to redo and pick the western once more.

Our sailing party inclueds...myself scrapperjill (aka Sandi), DH Jesse, DD 11 and DD6

Can't wait to see who else is saling....Kathy and Jim...are you out there.....

 

[amgpmg]

Hi Sandi!! Unless something comes up with work we will be joining you! We had such a blast on this last cruise, we could not miss another opportunity to sail Disney. Maybe we will get to the Western this time . If not, I know we will have a good time regardless

I think we might be a little early, but what the heck........Let's get this board started!!

(Jesse could say he told us so )

Kathy, Jim(DH), Anthony(DS 8) & Peyton (DD 5)

 

[TiggerzFan]

Sandi-
Count us in!
We just enjoyed our second "Wonder" cruise last week and rebooked onboard for our first "Magic"al cruise.
There are 12 of us in all (4 staterooms) - Me, DH and DD3 plus friends and family (DISers "Kaykels" and "Higgie").
Last cruise we booked 9 months out and that wait nearly did me in..... this time, with 13 months to go, I'll be downright insane!

 

[kaykels]

Count me in. I'm with Tiggerz and the Higgies. Last time we didn't meet up with any Dis'ers. This time we'll have to set up a meeting place or possibly do Palo in the private room???? Hey, only 9000 days left. I'll be dreaming about the white chocolate mousse every day until then!

 

[scrapperjill]

Ohh..look here...there are people out there It's not to early after all. This should make the wait go by a little faster...(I hope)...anyone who just got off the ship... still fell like there rocking back and forth...cuz I am. Not all the time but at the moment...it's pertty bad. It just kind of hits me here and there.

Well I better be going...I need to whip the help around here in shape...the servers just are not keeping up...the laundry is in a pile, dishes to be done, and floors to be cleaned...what is one to do....Where is Conrad and Nick when you need them...I already checked under the bed...and they wern't there. heee heee hee

 

[amgpmg]

Hi Tiggerzfan & kaykels! I am with you, this wait is going to kill me! Or my marriage - I spent all of my extra time on here before our last cruise and we just got back and here I am at it again!!

I strongly urge people to at least go to the dismeet! I am so glad we did and met some great new friends!

Kathy

 

[amgpmg]

Bump....don't want this to get totally lost on the boards.

Anyone else joining us yet?

Kathy

 

[scrapperjill]

Dosn't look like anyone else has found us yet. But if we wright it they will come...hee hee hee.

So what dose everyone think of all those storms....I for one can not believe how many there have been. One right after another. I just can't imagine next year being anything like this year....I believe there has just about been every record in Hurricane and tropical storm history broken in the past month.

Looks like we only have around 389 more days to go Yea....were getting close

I need to get busy making my list of what NOT to pack or bring. I can't beleive we brought so much extra with us. One would have thought we were going for a whole month. We even had someone in the airport say...Don't tell me your only going for a week...Can you belive it. I have to keep telling myself...that yes we did bring alot...but one whole bag was Sydneys medical things...another was her special food...and another was the snorkel gear. I couln't believe how much room the flippers and stuff took.

With eveything...the one thing I wish we would have packed was the two way raidos...they would have been handy...with Alexis running around so much...but heck who would have known.

Well I can't wait to see who else finds their way to the meet board.

 

[ThreeSmiths]

Hello All! I found my way here, now that we've officially booked our 10/22/05 cruise!

I can't believe that two weeks after getting home I'm still surfing around on these boards! Eric (DH) laughs at me all the time!

Sandi and Kathy, can't wait to see you again! Sandi, I saw your post about the Bahama mama recipe.....girl, you do need a fix!!!!

Stacy

 

[amgpmg]

Only 379 days to go!! I know it is still very early, but hopefully if we keep bumping this to the top we'll get others to join.

Kathy

 

[amgpmg]

Bump!! Anyone else joining yet?

[davenkaren]

Hello All,

We booked way back in May this year, first on board maybe? It will be our third trip to the US - we wish it could be every year. This trip is for our 25th wedding anniversary and we will be leaving our one and only daughter back in the UK to look after Charlie - our Cocker Spaniel.

We are staying at the Holiday Inn adjacent Downtown Disney first, off on the cruise and then rounding it all off in style at the Grand Floridian.

We are beside ourselves even this far in advance. The cruise looks and sound fantastic. This forum is brilliant and is a massive source of info. By September next year we will probably be fit to burst!

 

[scrapperjill]

Hi all And welcome davenkaren, kaykels, and TiggerzFan
to the cruise meet..and of course a big welcome to threesmiths aka Stacy and Eric. I'm sooo glad you decided to join us. Only 365 days, 5 hours and some odd min until we step onto the Magic....I'm getting excited.

Stacy and Kathy you'll be happy to hear I finally got the burned cd's off in the mail today. So be ready...there's aprox 1000 pics comming your way I was a little disapointed with the photo lab...I had 10 rolls of 35mm film that I took in to be developed and put onto cd's....but when I finally got around to burning the disks I realized she only put 5 of the 10 rolls on the cd's. I'd complaine more but the developer is a friend...and she only charged me for 5 of the 10 rolls....so I guess she just didn't burn the 5 I didn't pay for. If I would have know..I would have offered to pay for the cd's. I'm really liking the photo swap idea...seeing everyones views.

Well I need to start getting organized and setting $$ away for the trip. Jesse and I also need to get working on our wedding plans...it's still up in the air about the disney wedding on the ship or CC or a wedding before we go and just celebrate honeymoon style on the ship. We were kidding around earler this week saying if we just ran down to the courthouse at the end of the week or the begning of next week...we could celebrate our 1yr anniversary on the ship...and do a vow renewl...I guess it's an idea. In a way it would be ironic...because one of the reasons we've waited this long is to avoid a courthouse wedding.

Well I better not get started spending hours a day in the chat area...this far away.

 

[amgpmg]

Welcome Davenkaren! Congratulations on 25 years. We celebrated 10 years this year with a cruise. Next year is just for fun .

365 days to go!! YEAH!!!

 

[Skallywag]

Hi everyone,

We are booked and cant wait to get going. There will be 4 of us. It is our 40th Anniversary in June 05 and we plan to celebrate on the cruise.

 

[Skallywag]

Think I may be the last one - a whole year to wait it seems ages. Have so many questions to ask and will have to do a list. First cruise.

 

[ThreeSmiths]

Hello everyone! Welcome to our new Brit friends! Our dinner mates on our 9/11/04 cruise were from Manchester, England. We had lots of fun chatting with them and learned a lot about England!

Sandy and Kathy, got the photo CDs today....you guys must be working on the same timeline! I can't wait to look at the photos!

Sandi, we'll be celebrating whatever you and Jesse are....be it wedding, honeymoon or anniversary! It'll be fun!

Kathy, I didn't know that you and Jim were celebrating your 10 year anniversary! How did I miss that detail? We'll treat you to some 10 year anniversary drinks this time around!

Well, gotta go look through the 100,000 photos friom the scrapper-girls!

Stacy

 

[amgpmg]

Welcome Skallywag - although this will be our third cruise, we have not done the Western yet. We were scheduled for the Western on 9/11/04, but due a Hurricane we were re-routed to the Eastern (sort of). I am so excited to be doing the Western, but with our past experience, I am not going to get my hopes up again. Wherever we go, I will be happy with it. We had a blast even with the changes.

Stacy, I am glad you got the pics. Enjoy, I had fun doing them, looking at them again made me miss the Magic! We actually celebrated our anniversary a little early, it is October 1, but we planned the trip partly to celebrate it. I was going out of town to scrapbook on our real anniversary And don't worry, I am sure that there was a round of drinks bought sometime during the cruise that could have been for our anniversary

Talk to you all soon!

Kathy

 

[Skallywag]

Nice to hear from everyone going on the same cruise. We wanted Western because we went to Sint Maaren for 2 weeks last year and want something different. Also want a good look round Key West - did it on a day run from Fort lauderdale a few years back.

We have cabins 7074 and 7076 - hope they are good ones.
Already looking forward to a few glasses of bubbly on the balcony.

 

[Skallywag]

Looks as if we will be drinking the bubbly on our own this cruise.
