I hope this works I have tried to do this for a week and nothing will post, so cross your fingers lol

 

[Monchichi]

I guess my registration is gone, but I can post as a guest. go figure I have been trying to post since before Thanksgiving. My computer crashed and I lost everything. Then I had to find a new server and so on and so on LOL
Anyway, sorry sillysmom that I haven't replied to you and Gina. Shall we try that again? lol
I won't know what cabin we are in until we pay up which will not be until Feb. Maybe we are going to be close. My mom & dad are on 7 and Grandparents on 6 so maybe I will hit one of them. Tell Gina to e-mail Taylor @ this address: My e-mail address Taylor would love to chat with her about going on the dolphin swim. I will write more later. take care, ps let me know where we should meet. I would love to meet everyone after I book out massages and stuff.

I WILL GIVE GINA TAYLORS EMAIL ADDRESS, SHE ASKED ME A COUPLE OF TIMES ABOUT IT SO PROBABLY THIS WEEKEND, SHE WILL EMAIL HER. I'M GETTING SO ANSY, I CAN'T WAIT TO GO!!!! DID YOU BOOK THROUGH DISNEY OR A TA? I CALLED DISNEY, AND BECAUSE I HAVE AN 11 GUARANTY, SHE SAID I WON'T KNOW TILL TWO WEEKS BEFORE, WHEN I GET MY PAPERS, I'M GOING TO PAY IN FULL NEXT WEEK. YEA! AND WE CAN BOOK THE EXCURSIONS SOON TOO. MAYBE WE WILL GET TO BE TOGETHER FOR THE DOLPHIN SWIM, THAT WOULD BE COOL. I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE. TALK TO YOU SOON

Hi everyone!!! This will be our first cruise! I am getting very excited. We are doing the land/sea trip. Our daughter (15) knows about the cruise, but not the parks trip. We are so sneaky.

Our group is myself, DH, and DD (15).

Any other teens going to be on board? Any advice for us first-timers?

TIA! Anita

 

[cmmam]

Oh and to all you NoVa people, I guess we are taking over the ship! LOL!

We live in Fairfax County too!

cmman...my 16 yo (as of 2/25) will be on board....she will be looking to hook up w/someone her age. It will be our 3rd cruise this time of year. She met a lovely bunch last year and they all still keep in touch.

Look forward to hearing more!!

cmmam - my 2 teens will be onboard dd 14 & DS 16 - you DD will have a blast - the teens all end up together for lots and lots of great planned activities. I think they call the place common ground!

 

[cmmam]

Sounds great! She is definitely a friend making girl. She is really looking to the comparative freedom she is offered on the cruise. She will be allowed to roam more freely than she would ever get to in the parks.

I will let her know that I have confirmation of other teens.

Hello, all! I am not familiar with the abbreviations yet, but my DH, and DS (9 and will turn 7 on board) and I will be on this cruise. It is our first and we are so excited! I check these forums at least twice a day and learned so many neat ideas!! I hope to meet you all!! It is going to be a great time!!!!

This will be our first cruise and my DS 16
is very apprehensive about the cruise. How easy is it to meet other teens ? (he is sometimes shy). I know once I get him to meet someone his own age on the ship he will have a great time.

 

[dcbrown]

FanofDis....this will be my 16yo dd 3rd cruise and each time she gets off the boat w/tears in her eyes because she has met some wonderful kids....last year she met them on these boards first and then at port we identified ourselves with lime green mickey stickersw/our screen names printed on them. We were already off to a great start. We got the stickers at the home depot paint section..I am sure I have cleaned out the one in Lakewood NJ!!

The teens have an initial meet w/counselors at the beginning of the cruise where they do introductions and go over ground rules.

My daughter is a very congenial Jersey Girl...honor student ....drama queen...and wanna be surfer!!! Perhaps she can correspond at some point w/your son?

[cmmam]

dcbrown and fanofdis, if either of you would like my dd's IM screen name so the kids can chat or if you want to set up a board meeting let me know. She is really excited to met some of the other teens beforehand.

She is a fun kid with a love of bracelets. Both arms arms full half way to her elbow, at least.

Just PM me or whatever works for you.

Anita

 

[dcbrown]

cmmam....you can PM me with the screen names....my home computer is down now....so it might be a little time before our teen meet is up and running....but a goood idea...you know how concerned we are for our childrens happiness!!

DCBrown

 

[cmmam]

LOL! Is there anything else??

I have to get the exact spelling. You know how they use weird spelling/characters in the names.

 

[sillysmom]

Just paid in full yea!!!!!!!! Not too long and we can book our excursions (another load of cash!) Only sad thing, I figure, why couldn't we pay closer to the cruise, at least it would feel like we're paying for something instead of laying out all this money and having to wait over two months. Oh, well, I know it will be all worth it for us We are for joy.

 

[cmmam]

We are on the April 4, 2004 Wonder Cruise!

I hadnt looked at the dates or paperwork in so long, I got confused. We are doing the land/sea trip.

Well, it was nice chatting with you all anyway! Have a great trip!

Anita

 

[kpgclark]

Well everyone, have a great trip! We've decided to cancel.

 

[UMTerp]

kpgclark,

So sorry to hear you decided to cancel. Hope you enjoy your Spring Break no matter what you do!

Maybe we can meet you next time!

 

[Trekker]

kpgclark,

Ditto what UMTerp said - maybe next time around -
