I was afraid of this: Went away for a couple days over the weekend, when we got back there are 40+ pages to catch up on. I managed to get through 10 of them this morning before work. Just 30+ to go, not counting all the posts that will be put up while I am trying to catch up.

Hello all Disney Cruisers, I am finally signing on. WE are down to the TWO digits and can start getting my mind ready.. DH has been pushing me to get ready but sometimes I am slow. DH and I are renewing our vows while out to see and DSIS has all the details aligned. YES for those of you who do not know she is the family organizer. My DD and her DH are comming as well. This is her graduation present from the family. Cannot wait to go and have the countdown in my head and heart. Hope to sign on a few times a week and get to know some of you for myself, DSis keeps me posted and updated. :cheer2:



Hi there!:dance3: welcome:cool1:




Hello all. Its been several MONTHS since I've been on the boards (I know that's horrible...), but we are in the middle of transitioning jobs and moving from WI to IN. I checked in here for a minute to see what was new, and see a lot of posts about the FE groups and possibly removing people from them... I'm worried I might be one of the non-responders. I signed up a long time ago and gave my room number, but don't remember hearing anything since... Should I have? How do I know if I'm confirmed?

Thanks!



welcome back!:cool1:




Since I am unemployed,,,,,I can do both!!!!!!!:woohoo::thumbsup2


me too!:thumbsup2



Well it is still cool here - make that cold actually!:confused3 I really don't know what has happened to the British summer these days. Ah well roll on September. We went off to Florida in early February for 6 weeks to get a little warm weather but it didn't materialise there either, so I feel a little starved right now.:lmao:

If anyone out there is sweltering in excessive heat, please share with us frozen Brits.:laughing:


Maz, its not exactly blazing hot here but very sunny.....just contemplating whether to fit in a swim today (pool is outdoors) :cool1: Maybe the sun will move your way later!:confused3:thumbsup2

Enjoy the sun Mandy, and give it a push this way.
 
We have the builders in again. Not too big a job though. Knocking a wall down(:headache: ) right now between the garage and a small study at the back. The study was/is very small. Also a door is going in from there to the garage, so an easier way to get there than going outside. Should take 4 days they say, but giving them the week or so after last year's history of delays!!!:lmao: Then, the room could be an extra bedroom if anyone wanted. At the moment it has office stuff in there, the tumble dryer and all the various recycle boxes and bags.:rolleyes: The recycle things can go in the garage afterwards.:banana:

Good luck with the builders Maz, hope they get it sorted quickly :rolleyes1
 
Oh Mandy thanks. It isn't as bad as last year. I was so very stressed with it all then I really was and I don't think it helped my health really. This is quick and not as intrusive. I just don't like having workmen in or around. they are very nice guys though.

I used to come home from work and I would see the dog sleeping at the end of the road:scared1: bloomin builders, I will NEVER leave builders alone in my house ever no matter how cool they are:thumbsup2
 
Good luck with the builders Maz! Hope it goes OK.

Lynne that sounds like a nightmare with the builders!

Thanks!

I have you confirmed. Thanks for checking in!!

Is it to late for me to signup for secret mickey exchanges?

Not to late! If you are interested in the FE exchange, let me know. Secret Mickey is with Sarah I believe.

I am certain you could sign in daily and post, but that would mean a little less farmville, cafe world and every other game you place on facebook:rotfl2:

Oh and so folks are clear, this is my Dsis! Shme her into coming here more often and being part of this group!;)

LOL - sisterly love... :lmao:


Just got back from a couple of nights on the boat, it was a bit chilly in the wind, but beautiful in the sun. We had a few friends come out and have a drink and a fish, the kids caught more fish on their pink Barbie rods than anyone else!

I too would like to know what are some traditional or special purchases in each port, Things like jewels, traditional handicrafts, foods, ect.....
Does anybody know? Oh, and share the 'bobble' shop, please!

We haven't added our name as we have 34 hours of travel with 2 children to get to Barcelona, so we're not sure whether we will make it, But we would love to try. I'm not sure whether you are giving HRC numbers or not? Can we add ourselves, but apologise in advance if we don't make it?

Sue, this is os much work for you, Thank-you so much!
I'm not sure whether we were meant to confirm anything, but you know we're in! And NO! We haven't get a room assignment yet.

Noel, I agree, If they don't reply now, they won't reply with cabin numbers, we won't be able to deliver them! :confused3

You should PM Su_Kraft straight away, she's hard at work trying to organise the FE and would appreciate hearing from you! :goodvibes

Your weekend sounds very relaxing and fun!! Love that hte girls did well with their Barbie rods! Good on 'em!

I too am looking for the scoop on the islands. We have been to St. Maarten before, but that is it...

I can't get over how long your flight is! I hope that the girls are able to sleep!

I appreciate everyones inoput with the FE's. I think that if it were a standard 7 day from PC I wouldn't be so anal - but with everone flying in and dealing with the luggage restrictions, I don't want anyone to have to bring something that they don't need...

I will work on getting the most recent lists out on page 1, and will include a confirmed column as well...


Sue - I am still GTY but have my FE's made already and have paid for the cruise so unless something horrible happens - I AM THERE!!!! I agree with the 60-day cut off that someone recommended. The only people on my list that I have not heard from are:CarsFans and CruzDirectorKaren, but I think she has been on here lately, but CarsFans nothing.

Also, for the Scrapbook FE list I have:

Buckeye Gal
1DisneyQueen
Bareacuda
MagicMe
Hoagie Pie

I have you confirmed! I haven't heard fom either of those groups...

Can you add me to the scrapbook FE list?

I know there has been talk on this before and somebody posted the link last week (maybe steffy?), Anyhoo, who has actually used it and is it any good?
The only other time we have travelled so far was Paris last year and we travelled business class with no kids, this trip it is cattle (economy) class with the kids, the flight including stops will be over 34 hours!!! :scared1::scared1::scared1:
My DH is 6 foot and about 100kgs / 220 pounds. Just wanted to know if the 1st class sleeper will make it a little more bearable for him? :confused3 TIA

I mentioned this eons ago, and am still interested. I think we are going to order 2 of them and let the kids fend for themselves. They seem to be able to sleep in any position, so...

Take the Atlanta heat... Please!! It was 95 in Canton (NW of Atlanta) yesterday and with the humidity it felt 102. Today is to be the same... I was really hoping for a good rain last night to take the humidity down, but no joy for us...

Maz, good luck with the construction! Glenn and I finished out our basement (just need baseboards and window casings now...) and recently flipped a condo and I am so sick of the construction clutter...

Fingers crossed it is a quick project for you!!

Happy Monday, everyone. It's been a long time since I've posted here. I've just had all kinds of problems w/logging on and being able to access threads (I'm talking hundreds of error messages after clicking on threads). Could be my computer, but I can't tell you how frustrated I've been! As a result, I haven't even been able to keep up w/the threads (#6!) 'cause I couldn't access them, but we are paid up and we are going on this cruise :thumbsup2 . I'm just sorry we missed out on ordering the t-shirts :sad2: .

We're still listed as GTY; no cabin # yet. I wonder when Disney will let us know where we'll be.

I see so many of you are arriving early and staying in Barcelona. That is so great. We can't take the time, unfortunately. Is anyone else flying in with Disney? I just don't know what to expect. I'm guessing we'll be going out of Dulles or Reagan International. Yikes, I'm starting to get nervous now.

Well, Marilyn, if we could even out your cold temps w/our hot (90s+) ones, we'd probably have lovely weather, and I'd LOVE to share it w/you. Oh, and what does it take to qualify for geezer status?

Now if we could just even things out a bit we would all be happy!!!:)

Maz, good luck with the construction! Glenn and I finished out our basement (just need baseboards and window casings now...) and recently flipped a condo and I am so sick of the construction clutter...

Fingers crossed it is a quick project for you!!

Thanks. they have worked very hard today and the wall is down. they are good guys really. It is me who is the awkward one!!!:lmao: I so understand about the construction clutter!!!

Well, Marilyn, if we could even out your cold temps w/our hot (90s+) ones, we'd probably have lovely weather, and I'd LOVE to share it w/you. Oh, and what does it take to qualify for geezer status?

Oh I would love to share some of your heat. The sun has been out for a while now, but i see black clouds again. Going to be a cold night though.:sad2:

Geezers are over or around the 60 mark, but we don't turn anyone away!!:lmao: Geezers in Training(GIT's) are slightly younger and we oldies give them some hints and tips to help them on their way!!! Dedicated Walkers are very welcome to come along and help us all after our hot chocolate as we have a habit of forgetting where we need to be!!:rolleyes1

I'm absolutley with you on that Maz, however nice they are, I just like my own space and privacy! I've had builders nad workmen here on and off for months now and it would be nice to have the house back to ourselves!:confused3:rolleyes1

Chuck some of that lovely sunshine over the pond please, all us Brits would be very grateful! It was quite sunny here this morning but has clouded over now (I think I scared it off when I went swimming in the outdoor pool!....:rotfl2:)

Guess I'm a Geezer in Training then.....yay!:woohoo: Would definitely like to join you all for coffees and hints and tips for making me a good geezer....:goodvibes:thumbsup2
 
A 'heads up' for anyone who has a little time and would like a taster of a med cruise with DCL.......there is a great video report on You Tube, you can find it under 'PGC Disney Med Cruise' (not sure I can post a link here) and its fab!:cool1: Its posted by a family who I think are on here and a UK site too :thumbsup2

Just thought someone may like to see it as they fly from Liverpool to Barcelona to get on the Magic etc:cool1:
