October 27, 2007 - Cruising around the Moon - A Magical All Hallows Eve Part 2

[dizzi]

Just spent the last hour and half cutting out the bottom of a dress.
I must pick up speed or i will never have all this stuff done by casting call day.

But now back to reality i have to iron clothes for tomoorw and get in bed.

good night all

OK, once again y'all need to talk me into doing MNSSHP vs getting a park hopper.

My dear ... MNSSHP is not about the trick or treating... I think, if anything, that is the least of all reasons that we go. Noah isn't a big candy eater and quite frankly prefers to hand out the goods vs. run around and get them!

MNSSHP is about seeing the park all transformed into a Halloween Party, the characters dressed up in their Halloween costumes and the almost no line rides!!!!

The beginning of the MNSSHP parade is AMAZING!!!! I won't ruin it for you... but you HAVE to see it!!

If no one is interested in doing dinner... I might take Sarah and Noah to Cinderella's castle for dinner that night. We'll be on the dining plan and it takes 2 dinner credits. Sarah won't even be here the first night we are and we plan on going to DTD that night to have dinner with two of my underwriters that live in FL anyway so I'll have enough credits. Sarah is a HUGE princess fan... and I think it would be special to have her first dinner at WDW in Cinderella's Castle... don't you?

WOO HOO DIZZI!! Way to go, I can barely sew on a button

Paula: MNNSHP is a must!! I here "JACK" will be there LOL, It really is a fun time and the ride wait is at a minimum.


Kimmie, We will meet for dinner if you like, just let me know the details.

Spent the day at DTD with my DD and my niece. We had a blast and I started making my list of CRUISE MUST HAVES. They have SO MUCH POC stuff!!!
and the Princess dresses are getting SOOO fancy!! They are just stunning.
DD wants to be Minnie for Halloween and they have the cutest sparkling dress and accessories!! and best of all


DD was picked as ARTIST OF THE DAY!!!! ( she was coloring at "Pooh Corner" waiting for me to finish shopping with her cousin) and a CM came over and gave her a Disney Dreams certificate stating she was the artist of the day and placed her drawing in a frame for all to see. DD was thrilled

She also received a pin and an art set from another CM. I will try to load up the pics ASAP. What a great day.

Have a wonderful day tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we leave tomorrow night to start the drive down to Fort Lauderdale for our spring break cruise on the Caribbean Princess. I will not be telling the kids that we will be basically driving by Disney to get there.

But I am ready to be there already!

That being said when I get back I will be ready to start day dreaming about our October Cruise =-).

My questions:
How do I convince DH to do the night at the MK, sorry I can not remember the abbreviation for the Halloween night, the night before we cruise? It would require another day off for him and another for each child off of school...

I see you all talking about booking reservations, spa treatments, etc at 3am? How far out is that? I assumed it was after final payment, but could I be wrong?

This is our 5th cruise but our first on Disney, so any other insider information will be greatly appreciated.

Well our bags are 90% packed and I convinced DH to make our way to Savannah after work tomorrow night and then down to Fort Lauderdale we go the next day for our Sunday departure.

I look forward to getting to know everyone more when we return!

Happy Easter

I am going to willingly admit that i am soo freakin jealous of you right now!

tsoccer have a GREAT cruise!!! If you see a man in his early fifties wearing shorts and fly away gray hair and his wife wearing jean's and anything with a flag on it... it's my Brother and SIL. They are going on the Spring Break Cruise out of Fort Lauderdale as chaperones for their son on his Senior Trip. Get this... that's ALL they know... the port they leave from. No details, no excursions planned, not a clue about what ports they will visit - can you imagine being so uniformed?

I am going to willingly admit that i am soo freakin jealous of you right now!

Me too dizzi!!! By the way, get back to sewing!! We want to see you on TV!!!

awww, Kim

But you seem good with it, right?

I am, simply because I've had reservations from the beginning about these issues and let his dimple blind me. I became his "therapist" and listened to his venting and anger more than anything toward the end. Not a fun relationship!

Kimmi...i just love when a woman knows when to break up ...shows real strength! AWESOME!!!!! WOMEN RULE!!!!!

Yes, dizzi - we do RULE!!! (Sorry guys, we still love ya!)

It is cool, but if it is going to be a problems for school and work, skip it and just arrive ready to party on the ship.
I see you all talking about booking reservations, spa treatments, etc at 3am? How far out is that? I assumed it was after final payment, but could I be wrong?
For Castaway Cay Club members, pervious cruisers, it is 90 days before, for Concierge it is 105 days before, for newbies it is 75 days before. At 3 am on the day you can book, new screens will open on www.disneycruise.com and you can do online booking for palo, spa, excursions, and pre-register kids in the clubs. That is also the best order to do these bookings in.
This is our 5th cruise but our first on Disney, so any other insider information will be greatly appreciated.

You order the tickets from Disney... they go on sale around May 1st. Those of us that will be there will meet up at sometime to put real faces with the real names! My sitter (Sarah - 24 then) and Noah and I will be there for dinner... trying to decide where so we can stay in the park while they kick everyone else out and transform it from the regular MK to MNSSHP with all the decorations! It's lot's of fun!

The Trick or Treating is pretty lame... it's not about that... it's about seeing the park all dressed up, the cool parade and the park is closed to the general population... it's much less crowded and rides are much easier to get on!

Seeing the characters dressed up for Halloween is cool too. We've done it for 2 of the past 3 years. The weather has always been perfect and the night very special! We were there on Halloween night in 2005!
