Well, I'm at work. Isn't time for me to start just yet, so I thought I would stop by and say hello. Hello.

Those are some very nice graphics you have done there Judy. I may use one or two of them. Thank you for sharing them with us all.

Well, now it is time for me to start work!!!! Oh well, it won't be long and the ol' work day will be over. Ya'll have a GREAT DAY today.

 

[ladyj0212]

Hi guys! Haven't posted in a while....thought I'd come back to boost my excitement because...

Vacation week has been approved by work and final payment has been made!!

Countdown till we sail with the admiral! Looking forward to sailing with you all!!!

WOOHOO!

 

[LuvtheEars]

Hi everyone!

I haven't posted in a loooooong while, but sat down and read through all the posts this morning to catch up.

My family is camping this weekend and I stayed home with the dog. We couldn't find a dog sitter because everyone was gone.

We have an addition to our cabin. My Best Friend Laura is flying in from Portland OR and joining Kaye and I on the cruise. She has been on several cruises, but this is her first Disney Cruise! Our Birthdays are a couple of days apart in Aug, so I'm going to send her a special "DCL cruise/care" package for her Birthday. It's mainly going to have small things like luggage tags, and the DCL book they sent me because the cruise is booked in my name. I was thinking of sending sunscreen and things like that, but then she would just have extra stuff to pack.

I have to check, but I think I need to stay up tonight and book our Palo Brunch and excursions. I was thinking it was tomorrow, but I'm not sure.

Anyone else Gold know when the actual date/time is?

 

[davidls]

I hope everyone out there is having a safe and Happy Memorial Day today. We had all of the grand kids over for the day yesterday. Everyone got in the pool and had a blast!!! Now DW and I are going to try to recoup today. DW has to go back to work tomorrow...............I don't go back until Wednesday. This semi-retired thing sure is working out pretty darn good!!!!

Well, everyone have a safe holiday today. Talk to ya'll again real soon.

 

[mlipreston]

Milpreston, when we approach a deadline to join the FE and the final master list is ready to be emailed out, is there any chance you can put it into an Excel document/format? I have no clue how to use excel.

No Problem!

 

[davidls]

I sure hope everyone is having a GREAT week-end.

DW and I are going out today to do a little more shopping for the cruise. This seems to never end guys!!! I think we have enough clothes that would last us on a cruise that would take 4 weeks long!!! Maybe DW knows something I don't know!!! (Well, to tell the truth..............DW knows allot more then I do! ) And, that ain't no lie!!!

Well, ya'll have a GREAT day today. Talk to you again soon.

 

[UGAFan0829]

Hello, cruise mates!!

I can't believe how fast the days are ticking away...less than 100 to go!!

Our family is still working on finalizing our shore excursions! My DNephew wants to do the Atlantis Aquaventure, but I'm having a hard time with the fact that it will cost the three of us $500+! I've been thinking about the possibility of booking a room at the Comfort Suites which would be much cheaper and still allow us the same use of the slides, but I'm a little nervous about it as we've never booked anything on our own and have always did the Disney excursions. I asked on the main board for any advice, but didn't get many responses. Have any of you ever done this? We don't have much time to make up our minds, which has me a little on edge!

 

[soul_power]

Hi! I haven't posted on this thread since I first announced that I'll be cruising with all of you, but now that I'm doing the double digit dance I'll be here more often!

 

[davidls]

Glad to hear from you soul_power and UGAFan0829 again. Glad ya'll are still sailing with us. We sure are getting close to our sail date now. This is going to be such a great time for us all.

Well I have to go and do some of my torture machine excercises, and then run a few errands this morning. Back to work tomorrow Oh well, soon it will be time for us to head over to Port Canaveral and board the Dream.

Talk to ya'll again soon!!!!

Hey everyone I am so excited I have to share, I just went into AAA and paid our cruise in full!!! Now I have to decide on excursions since DH says "surprise me!" Have a great day!

Congrats on the PAID IN FULL Status!! Isn't that a Great feeling?
I think all I"m booking when I can, is Palo for Brunch and Dinner. I've never been there for dinner yet, so would like to experience that this time around.

Your DH really said "Surprise Me"? If it were my DH I'd sign him up for Parasailing just to see his reaction

 

[Teri1]

I am hoping to get brunch at Palo and dinner there too for the first time. Trying to decide which night, though. As a matter of fact DH loves parasailing, so I will be scheduling that. He was disappointed when it was canceled due to high winds last trip. Can't wait to get everything planned out!

 

[gerberdaisy1234]

Since I am just wasting time on my iphone playing Words with Friends, Chess with Friends and now Hanging with Friends...I thought I might as well pop on here too.

We got a big box yesterday with the items we need to work on our FE. I think I will need one whole suitcase for our FE. Guess I didn't think about that before ordering We are very excited to get started. One step closer!

According to my countdown- 92 days until we fly to Orlando!!!!

 

[JustTJ]

So, tomorrow nights the night!! For those staying up till midnight to makey your Palo and or Remy reservations ect.... What do you all plan on doing to stay up, assuming the rest of the family will be long asleep by then?

I myself plan on doing my Taxes It's LONG overdue, and I'm going to get some nasty penatly charges if I don't get it done soon (when things are complicated, I procrastinate) I hope to have enough done by midnight that I can then just hand it over to my accountant on Monday.

If I can get my Palo bookings done, it will all be worth it

I did book my excursions and activities for the first leg of our B2B yesterday morning at 6 am Madrid local time (midnight at the east coast of the US) I was able to book what I wanted, Atlantis Aquaventure and Jetskiis at Castaway Cay .
I checked Palo and Remy's availability and was surprised there was a lot of slots available. However we are planning to book Palo brunch and Remy during this leg of our B2B so I hope it will be the same and there will be enough availability for all of us interested in getting a reservation.

Just FYI for some reason online check-in did not work until 9 am Local (3 am East Coast) that made me feel nervous since I wanted to get an early port arrival time, I finally got 10:30 to 11, so everything went well.

We aren't planning to leave the ship in Nassau during this part of our B2B, we might book jetskiis again for our Castaway Cay day (we love it!)

Hope you all will be able to book what you want.

Dennis

I plan to keep slapping myself to stay awake. DW, said better yet, let her slap me to stay awake!!! She said it would be worth it to stay up just to do the slapping!!!! (She's thoughtful like that!!!)

I hope everyone gets the ressies they want for their cruise!!!
