Good morning!!!!!

We don't have a assignment yet, we are in a cat 12 gty. But we may move up to a cat 11 just to get a assigned cabin. I don't like not knowing and the fact that we have over 400 days to wait....I don't know if I could take it.

Good for you!! I am a control freak so I completely understand and could never wait either. I'm also very spoiled and can't live without a verandah.... so we are in 6078 for this cruise! I LOVE being able to sit out there with a cup of coffee while Noah sleeps in.... or when he's down for the night and I'm not sleepy yet.

We had 5622 on our 4 night cruise and thinking I might switch to that room due to only a 50% chance of a smoker due to the location... only one verandah to the right... since we are the first room in that section!
No offense to anyone who smokes, Noah can't take it due to asthma!

Yaaa roll call is growing!!!!!

I will have my first balcony in October of this year. I would like to always have a balcony but my first disney cruise there was so much going on we where never in our room so couldn't see spending the extra...lots extra on a balcony but would sure like to have one

I was in 6539 on Magic last time and we got the 6th floor again, I prefer to be lower on the ship so this worked out well.

Hi! Im KimSues Mom.Do you all dress up for Haloween or just Pirate costumes? I love these things

 

[pjpoohbear]

Hey, did you all know that we should be the first or second cruise after Magic's bi-annual refurb. I wonder what changes will be made to our ship before we get on? There will be lots of DISers watching our live reports, lol. I really hope that we are the second cruise after, as the frist cruise last year had lots of work still happening during their cruise.

Hey Babs welcome

We did dress up for pirates night, it was alot of fun. I believe however that last year halloween and pirates night where the same night. Great deck party for pirates night.

Last October we where the 2 or 3rd cruise out after the refurbish. Everything was so nice. Because I had not cruised before I really don't know what changed except for the addition of the jumbo tron. That is awesome though how do you find the refurbish schedule?

Welcome Babs!! We are going to bring pirate costumes for each of us and a separate Halloween costume (if he doesn't want to be a pirate for Halloween) in case they are on separate nights.

I've only done a 4 night cruise so I'm very excited to do the 7 night this time. I plan on shipping lots of candy for our DIS trick or treat ahead to the ship.

I love these things too..... They keep making up new ones that just seem to fit into our conversations....

Again, Welcome Babs!!!

 

[Hockeychic]

I love the planning part as well, almost as much as the cruise.

You are so right Kim2. If I hadn't rebooked this on board I don't know what I would have done with nothing to plan... I'm already waiting for Easter 2008 rates to come out so I can jump on those as well!

Noah's last day of school was yesterday so the fun of the summer starts! He is now, officially, a first grader and VERY proud of it!

I met his new teacher for next school year and she is adorable, young, perky and everyone seems to love her. I'm so very happy that he's doing so well and will be in another set of very good hands for next year!

I wish I could be off all summer too.....

 

[pjpoohbear]

I am guessing that there will be a refurb in Oct 07, as that would follow the pervious pattern. Referbs every other year.

So exciting the last day of school. My kids are much older. DS will be finishing grade 11 this year and only has one exam so last day of school is Tuesday then a exam next Monday then he is done.

DD is graduating grade 8 so we are fussing with dresses, hair, makeup, hopefully we have all this done by next Monday as that is grad day then she is suppose to go to school till Wed but we just told her to just go back Wed afternoon for her report card. We figured she could have a break, she going to be taking a course for the month of July so we let her take a break, weird kid wanted to do school in the summer

Penny: That would be really great if it where in reburbish.. the ship was in amazing shape when we cruised last year but I know like you said the first cruise out was still dealing with some issues but she sure was sparkly..

Well off to shop for last minute grad stuff, I am also going to look for a formal dress..we are going on a cruise this October and I have lost quite a bit of weight so nothing fits.....good excuse to shop

Have a great weekend everyone

Noah has a birthday party to go to this afternoon, but that's about the only reason we'll be out and about. Today is the 7 year anniversary of my Mom's passing. It makes me so sad that I'm too emotional to be with outsiders. I'll bust out in tears in public for no reason thinking about her and her last days, etc.... so, I'm sticking around home as much as possible.

I was pregnant with Noah when she passed (she had a rare form of Lupus, Scleroderma - they made a TV movie about it - Bob Saget's sister had it too) and had been suffering for years so it was a blessing, but truly the hardest thing I've had to deal with yet.

Sorry for the bummer post.... it helps to share.

Please don't be sorry, it usually helps to share your feelings.
I totally understand, I lost my dad almost 19 years ago, right after I got married and then my mom 17 years ago and I was also pregnant with my first child so I understand.

Well, my shopping trip wasn't very successful. No formal dress that I liked. Oh well I have 4 and a bit months to find something.

Hope you are all having a great day.

Ladies, I did some research and couldn't find our exact answer about how we can book a Ladies DISmeet Brunch.... so, I posted the question.

A few of us can book 4 at a time... however.... there is a private room that we can request about 30 days out that fits 12 or so.... My only concern would be not booking the individual ones and then not getting the private room!

I've never been to Palo yet... I had brunch reservations on my last cruise but didn't have anyone to go with. I invited another Mom that was on a solo trip with her son but he was very clingy and didn't like the club... so I gave them up.

I'm excited about doing this! We'll do a head count in about... oh... 365 days or more... I know, I know... are we there yet????

 

[Hockeychic]

Great Kim1 thanks for the info. I am definatley in for a brunch. You will definatley not be disappointed with Palo.
