Sept 19th,2004 revisited.....

[Krystina'sMommy]

TaeJa:

I was wondering the same thing. I think I left my mp3 player (that I had brought along to listen to on the plane) somewhere in the stateroom because that's the last place I remember seeing it. I couldn't seem to find it in any of our bags. I doubt I will be reunited with it (if I left in onboard), but figured it would be worth a shot to ask.

On a different note, glad you enjoyed looking at our pics and that you could "relive" your cruise thru our pictures. Guess you'll have to go back, so you can get some great shots of your own . Wish I could get my DH to commit to another cruise, but I don't think he'll go for it. Guess DD will just have to lay it on extra thick about how much she misses the "Mickey boat" . She's already asked me about when daddy will take us on the Magic, but unfortunately, I didn't have the answer she wanted to hear.

Anyone working on a trip report?

 

[dzneprincess]

no trip report for me i am not good at it. but did anyone else make wonderful friends from this experience? i know we did! Leonor i pmd u back

 

[ericamanda01]

We definatly meet some great people on the ship! DH is a little upset now though. I spend so much time on the phone with my best friends and now I keep checking my email to see if my dis-board friends are online! Poor thing. No trip report coming from us, sorry to say. I just went back to school and I have more than enough reports to write already. Maybe from our next cruise, Sept 16, 2006. That countdown seems to be moving really slow! Over 700 days, I don't know if I will make it!

If you think you left some thing in your stateroom or onbard, here's DCL's lost and found number. (407) 566-3734.

I hope we are not going to let this thread die out! WAH
Leonor did you get my PM?
I am mad at ericamanda01 y all! She had a cold during our trip and guess who has it now?????? uhm hum.....moi...the sorry girl gave it to me I had to leave work early on Monday and have been out ever since. And now I think I am coughing up bits and pieces of my lungs................ But I still luv ya, mean it! LOL
Hey does anyone else here ever visit the Community board? Or do you mainly hang out on the DCL boards?
Anyone else have another cruise planned? I know ladypoo does as she has posted in our 05-27-06 thread. And I know EEYOREfan is going on an adults only cruise in Decemcer on RCL. She will definitel have to let us know how it was compared to DCL. The way DCL rates keep going up, your gonna have to need like a 2nd mortgage on your home! LOL

Hey you should thank me I extended your vacation! lol

 

[dzneprincess]

Sending a big rasberry your way! LOL All the guys that Steve and I work with keep asking him if I am really sick or just cruise sick "wink wink" they dont believe that I am sick

 

[taeja71]

Our 9/19 thread is still on page one! We had such a great time. We asked our oldest daughter yesterday if she'd go on a boat w/o Mickey and she said no. We won't be cruising again for at least another two years.

Dzneprincess you've probably noticed my postings on other community boards beside this one. I got the posting bug last night and was typing like crazy. I'm addicted! Have a wonderful time on your future cruises!

C'mon other 9/19ers post replies! Keep our thread alive!

 

[dzneprincess]

taeja, I am sure you noticed but the 2006 rates have already been released. It would be smart to go ahead & book now. As prices have already jumped since they were released on Weds (was it weds?) My May 06 cruise has already increased by $1000 on DCLs site......ouch.

I lurk around on the Community board and the Theme Park Strategies one. Or then again I may hit most of the other formus here on the DIS. Depends on how busy we are.
I have made the deposit for our next cruise But , It isnt until 2006. We are looking to find another one closer in. But with Dom starting real school, I dont know.

I think your pictures are beautiful Leonore. We have some of the same shots almost from our cruise Last year. We didnt take as many this time. Most of them are, of course, Dominique.
I do have a real cute one of 5 little girls dressed up as Princesses the morning we docked in Nassau. We were waiting on the grown up Princesses to show up.
Talk to ya'll later

[dzneprincess]

ladypoo are you going to post your pics?
We are not going to do a cruise in 2005 as we have to use up most of our vacation time to drive to Colorado to see my parents. UGH Not a fun vacation. I am going to see if I can upload some pics of our trip and post them here

 

[dzneprincess]

Here are a few lets see if this works

I am the big fattie in orange
The couple with us in the one pic is ericamanda01 aka eric and amanda I hope you dont mind Amanda.

 

[mom2sean_n_alex]

Man alive do I miss it! DH and I were talking tonight about how much fun we had, and how he missed it too! This all by itself is a miracle as DH is not one of those to just out and out comment about things espically to this degree!

We are definitely planning another one. Hoping again for another 4 night same time next year. Hurricanes or not, it's the rate we need LOL! DH thought he'd like to try a 7 night but not with the kids this young. When they get older we'll likely try one! He really liked the idea of the 2 stops at CC!

Friday night I am going to a crop, and will start scrapbooking our trip in the wonderful scrapbook I bought on board!!! Woo hooo!!!

dzne yes, I got your pm. Thanks!

Guess had I known Amanda was sick on our cruise I wouldn't have let Krystina "chat it up" with her @ breakfast. Actually, Krystina is fine (didn't pick up that cold bug), funny thing, though, DH did (and he was the one sitting next to Amanda @ breakfast, hmmmm) Amanda (ericamanda01), I sent you a pm a couple of days ago. did you get it?

I have never been on the community board (guess DCL board takes up all of my online time! ), but I have visited the "just for fun" board in the past and joined a thread for "Days of Our Lives" watchers (addicted to that ALMOST as much as to this board!)

DH gave me some bad news yesterday............ DS(ister) wanted us to cruise with her family next year (her, DH, & DS~17) on a different cruise line (RCCL or Costa) and DH said no. He said he LOVED the food, but other than that he would prefer to stay on land instead of on a crowded ship with not much to do ~ this coming from the same man who sat in the ESPN ZONE the entire first day of our cruise (except for the couple of hours it took us to eat dinner) watching football. This was also our first real vacation with DD & guess he thought we'd have an easier time with her (we both figured she'd LOVE the clubs~but were very wrong!) so I guess he didn't enjoy trying to get her to cooperate with us & taking her everywhere we went (except Palo). My reaction: "Welcome to every day of my life!" (I'm a stay at home mom and while I LOVE DD with all of my heart, I do believe everyone needs a break from their children every now & then to keep you sane ). Sorry to have dragged on, but I just needed to vent & I knew my DIS friends would lend some support! I'm still hoping he will change his mind & we can cruise again soon!

I'm with you, being a mom (of three, a 4,3, and 2 yr. old) is hard work esp. when you're at home. We had moments too on the cruise that I told my husband, "welcome to my world!".

We were barely around the two Amandas and their spouces and our family got the cold bug (I hope no offense is taken-certainly not implied). My husband's mother went home still recovering from her cold this past Friday and now my daughter's coughing her lungs out.

I checked the DIS trip reports and no one's written for our cruise. I hope people don't think we had a bad time just b/c we didn't write.

My 4 yr old just had a melt down. I gotta go.

 

[ladypoo]

WE had a wonderful time on the cruise. Just no time to write a trip report. Had to go back to work on Monday and pulled 16 hours. Then our regular 8 hour shifts the rest of the week until Fri, when one of the other girls was in a car wreck and we went in to cover for her. There was another 12 hour shift. We are working this weekend 2 twelve hours. Starting Mon we are supposed to be off our week, but that isnt going to happen.

Will try to post pictures sometime this week. I have to find a DSL or other type lines to post pictures. It takes entirely too long to try and post with regular dial up.

This along with making sure Dominique is taken care of. Talk to ya'll soon

Patty

PS I'm sorry ya'll got that cold bug. We were lucky.

I take personal attacks on my health very (cough, hack, cough) very seriously! I never (sneeze) gave anyone a (cough,cough) cold in my life! I am as (sneeze, sneeze, sneeze) healthly as a (cough, cough, cough, cough) horse!LOL!!! To all those who got my cold I am so sorry! However I am not to blame, my best friend is. She gave it to me, so if there are any complaints I will be sure to forward them on to her!

With that said, I MISS THE SHIP!!!! I know that we haven't even been home a month but it already feels like a year! I mean seriously look at how many day I have left on countdown! I really think that Disney should give out a 12 step book on how to deal with the loss of the ship!!!!LOL

Krystina'sMommy, my Dh wanted so badly to tell you how cute your little girl was and that she looked like Lilo. His favorite disney film at the moment. But he is very shy and didn't want to possibly offend you. I don't know how that could have happend but there you go, men are strange. At least mine is!

dzneprincess I loved the picture of you and Steve with Mickey and Minnie. It turned out great. Was that one from shutters?

By the way I hope that everyone who reads the top knows I am kidding!!! I am nutty that way, or as DH puts it, "You are as funny as Jerry Lewis and should really take your show to France where you could be fully appreciated!" I have a felling that's not a compliment!

Amanda, you are too much!

Tell your DH I said thank you! How in the world could I ever be offended by that? DD would've loved hearing it too, she LOVES Lilo. We used to think she looked like Boo when she was younger because I used to make her the little pig tails & those BIG eyes! But, she's growing up now and has lost some of her baby features.

BTW, I miss the ship too! I say this as I sit here at the computer drinking my coffee from my DCL Castaway Cay Souveneir Mug. Didn't intend on using it for coffee (only Coke), but hey, it works just fine & is just the right size for my 2 cups worth!

Oh, I updated my online album to include the pictures @ Castaway Cay from the disposal, waterproof camera (about 25 of them). Not the best pictures, but definitely worth the memories!

For all of you, if I had my camera w/ me I would've taken some of the same shots Leonore took. So, enjoy her photos! I forgot my camera in our stateroom most of the time. I was soo in AWE of every thing. I regret not having our camera w/ us. But good news is I get to remenise w/ your posted pics.

Have a great day every one!

P.S. I just have to share this. When we went to WDW the first day, a lady tried passing through her Key to the World Card instead of the park hopper pass. I commented, "too bad that doesn't work", in a nice way.
