Good Morning Moonies! I almost ruined the surprise last night. I was on the phone with my fireman talking about the cruise. Ethan had walked in the room and was on the computer before I realized it. He never looked up or either he thinks I'm talking about next year. I always ask him what he wants to do for "next years cruise" so I can plan for this one. Sneaky, I know!

Chris, yes, the fireman is under control and happy as can be

Well, off to wake the whelp. It's been a long week.....football game Monday night, Boy Scouts Tuesday night.....nothing Wed night......football practice Thursday night. Then it starts all over again. I'm looking at it like this, only 3 more weeks of this and we're on our cruise!!!!!!!

Glad to have all the new folks aboard!!!!

Lol, I can have an annual celebration of fleeing England all to myself. I came to Canada on Nov 1st last year so I will be onboard for year one! Anyone wanna join my celebration?!?

I believe they are scheduled a couple days early but I've heard that there are going to be fireworks on the ship in celebration of your personal independence day.

Hi all... just checking in! Booked my first Disney Cruise last week... so excited!

Our family will be taking our first Disney Cruise with you guys!

Our daughters (DD-5 and DD-3 ) are so excited about this vacation! Can't wait to enjoy the trip with all of you!

Is it too late to join your planned trick-or-treating?

Welcome!!!! I've added you to our roster - let me know if I have any of the details wrong (I assumed Chip 'n Dale is solo and KoolBreeze is the Mom?) and I'll be happy to fix it!

No solo for me... I'll be bringing along a friend.

You won't be saying no until you get into the gift shop... I don't remember seeing anything of that nature anywhere else on the ship!

Duly noted and roster updated!

Hi all! I just wanted to introduce myself since my family and I will be with you all cruising around the moon. Cruising will be my DD (6) and my DS (4 turns 5 on oct 30) and myself in one stateroom; my parents and my brother (19) in another stateroom, and my aunt, uncle and cousin in another stateroom. We are really excited about the cruise. We booked cat 12 gty in July and got our stateroom assignments a couple of days ago. We were upgraded to deck 2 side by side mid ship cat 10's, so we are pleased! It will be fun to discuss our cruise excitement together!!

There are probably some goodies and fun things at the gift shops. I plan to peruse their wares!

I give my son $5 per week as an allowance. Out of that he buys the things he wants (video games, harry potter stuff, etc)..even if he has to save up for it. He is much more discerning this way. Before he would want everything...then when I started the allowance and said he had to pay for it...well..he didn't want that "thing" so much anymore.

On vacations I set a dollar amount that he can use for purchases (an extra $$ from me) so he can buy whatever he fancies. Plus he can bring his allowance money should he choose to do so.

Maybe this would work for you????

 

[dizzi]

I am sure i will do soemthing like that, not sure what yet Dh and i have not discussed it..........BUT i just hate those things, yes hate is a strong word..............but i do i do despise that junk stuff...........

I dont even want them to get that stuff with their money.

We have spinny things that of course are not touched any more form several trips to WDW, and i just cant stand to see them laying around unused!!!!

I guess i willhave to coem up with a plan on money spending for the kids very soon!!!!!!!!!

 

[gizimoto]

My son is a pack rat so he has all that little stuff/junk/what -do- we -still- have- it- for- stuff too. ugh! Now I give him shoe boxes to put it in and 2x a year he has to go thru stuff and clean it out...throw it away or donate it.

We'll be joining you! Just booked today - sooo last minute, but got a great deal - couldn't resist. This is our 1st cruise. Cruising will be me, my DH, DS(7) and DS(6). We have no reservations for anything, so we'll just wing it! I just have a few questions for now - please help:
What night is formal night?
What night is pirate night?
I heard there was a separate trick or treat for the DISers? Do I need to bring treats?
Can you really bring in a soft sided cooler filled with beer, wine, etc.. as long as there is no ice?
I only have a month to plan and am soooo stressed

I will also be sailing with you guys. I have a couple questions, what info is there on Halloween activities put on by the ship. Is there a T or T scheduled? Are there costume contests? How about wearing our costumes to dinner?

By the way I will be joined by me wife and our son (10).
