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

[Kimmielee]

Kim2 - I would be sooo sad if you ended up in Alaska! I would, however, understand. It's a long time out to book a vacation and not have changes!

Lori - we did go away for the weekend to Great Wolf Lodge (a hotel/waterpark) and you can still ring water out of me! It was a blast. Almost a 4 hour drive from our house but in beautiful Traverse City. I must find a way to post pics. That's my goal when I return from Seattle this weekend.

Paula - the parks are wonderful but the CRUISE is awesome!!! Noah had the choice... and he chose the cruise without hesitation. Much like Chris's kids!

Well, I'm off to Seattle tomorrow. I have to conduct some interviews for staff underwriters out there. It is so hard to find good people that can work well on their own since their manager is all the way in Michigan!

I think the Pacific Northwest is one of the prettiest areas I've seen in the U.S so far. See you all this weekend!

Good Morning everyone,

I have to catch up but just thought I'd post. Looks like DD and I are still on board. We really want to do go Alaska but we think 2008 will be better. 2007 is going to be a big year, DS away to school, buying a car, paying for school.....etc and when we go to Alaska we want to "do it up right" a week cruise, and a week or two exploring the West so we have decided for 2008 to go.

DD was happy, she is looking forward to being away with just me. I can guarantee, she will ditch me the first night....lol

Have a great day all.

Kim

Hi everyone, still around, but my other cruise is doing 40+ pages a day and it is a part-time job keeping up.

OK, so I was thinking again about all the things before and have decided to do what I had originally planned. I just think about all the fun we had at WDW and want to do it again! I want to do the funnest things WITH him before he gets too cool to do things with his mom, ya know?

So, now I'm trying to decide where to stay that night at WDW. I'm eligible for the nurse discount at the Swan/Dolphin. It's only a few more dollars than POFQ which I loved. It's $70 more than All Star Sports. I know we are only going to literally be in the room to sleep so I don't know what to do. Luxury *well to me anyway* vs value. Can y'all tell I don't have much to do right now? LOL! If any of you have experiences with these hotels, please let me know your opinions! What about staying off site? Anyone have any suggestions there? I'm just planning on going to MK for the day.

When can I buy tickets to the MNSSHP? I know it's a year away but I don't want them to sell out! That would be horrible! Are any of you going to be at MK the night before the cruise? If so, let me know and we can meet on Main Street!

Well, I guess that's all for now! Thanks as usual for listening to my rantings!

Chris loved your report I wish I could do that I just rambel. I just cant wait to cruise. Wish that it wasnt so far away. Going to Jamaica 10/2 with half of my family, still not a cruise

 

[Hockeychic]

I have stayed at Pop, Movies and sports and all are fine, just basic rooms, and pools. If I was going to stay at a resort I would spend the extra and stay at one of the mods but we really only shower and sleep in the room and swim each night before bed so the values are just fine for us. I think we are staying at Music next as it is the only one we haven't stayed at but I will let DD decide that.

We are arriving Thurs and going to MNSSHP that night. Tickets will go on sale a few months before. Friday night we will chill, go to DTD and probably O'Hana's for dinner.

Babs have fun in Jamicia, we are cruising right after your trip. Can't wait.

Mickeys not so scary halloween party. We went back in 2005 and had a great time.

 

[LoriLuvsDisney]

Speaking of Halloween and since my kids are poring thru catalogs to pick out their costumes for this year, are any of you going to put on your trick or treat outfits next year while on the cruise? Or should we wait to see if DCL does anything special for Halloween night? It's my DD's 12th bday so we usually try to do something special for her in the midst of it all (but what's more special than being on a Cruise?). I'm already packing my suitcase in my head and seeing if I have room for a couple of costumes. I suppose I can do something inexpensive (or purchase at the after Halloween sale this year) and leave it behind so that there will be more room for souveniers!

Hope all are well!

Yes, we made that mistake once, Christmas day my other 5 sisters and my brother where sitting around at about 9:30 - 10 PM and decided to call my sister who lives in England and we couldn't understand why she wasn't thrilled to hear from us. OK. maybe a little alcohol involved and we kinda forgot about the time change . I am in the same time zone as Da Mouse. You could almost draw a straight line from where I live to Orlando.

Not sure if you posted or not but what area of England are you in? My sister is Weston Super Mare or Avon? The odd time I send snail mail those are 2 of the thiings I remember I have to put on the envelope.

[Hockeychic]

Ahhhhh. I would rather be adopted by someone who lived in Florida....much warmer there, you just have to dodge hurricanes for a few months.
