Sept 25, 2004 - someone's gotta be coming!

[Lxnme2]

No docs for me yet either. My flights were cancelled and had to re-book with another airline, but it's O.K. We have good flights, will be in Orlando earlier in the day, so we can relax, play in the pool and have dinner with my Orlando friend, whom I haven't seen in some years. Looking forward to that.

Who, how and when will make the ressies for our Palo brunch and Palo tea for the ladies and are there certain days these take place? Am so looking forward to Palo brunch and tea. I can't believe we fly out in 31 days!!!!

Will see you all at the "meet" time and place on board.

We are so excited this is our first cruise it will be myself, my husband Bill, My mother Loretta and our 2yr old daughter Jenna. We will be stayeing on Disney property at the new Pop Centry for two days prior to ship leaving we have family in Orlando area and will visit them then take the Disneyh bus to the cruise.
We have never cruised and we cannot wait.

Jill-I did copy and paste on last email-will try it in private message. sorry!
did anyone see the thread about EMMASGRAMMY-how Emma her grdtr and Amanda were dilled in a house fire? They are trying to get donations going for Amanda's husband and bay (who is in critical condition) Definitely need some prayers and pixie dust their way!

The Lopez's
Since this is my first time any suggestions on packing? Any suggestions on must do's? I cannot afford alot of excursions as money will be tight but dont want to miss out on any must do's. My daugther is two so that may be limiting. She loves fish and the water. ANy good web sites to look info on Grand Cayman and Cozumel?

This will be the celebration of my 10yr wedding anniversary. Do you all have a list of who is cruising with kids ages and room numbers?

We would love to meet everyone at the 3:15 meeting.

Called TA today--they don't have my docs yet. I just wanted to alert them that we're leaving a week earlier than they knew as we booked several park days thru DVC.

They are now listing cat 4,6, and 11 as available, so obviously are continuing to reshuffle gtys. I'm still hoping for pixie dust.

 

[LimeyAngel]

Hello ... I am new to the list. Virgin poster and Disney Cruiser. I will be on the Magic on September 25th. I will be coming with a girlfriend from NW FL and staying at the Radisson the night before. We will be in room 7112 and would like to meet with you guys.

Hey everyone!!!!

I am so excited to say that I finally booked and will be sailing with all you guys on Sept. 25. We are flying into Tampa on the 23 and visiting my aunt and then staying at the Radisson the night before the cruise. Can't wait.

Having a heck of time getting decent car rentals. I have tried every code at mousesavers and still rates are much higher than last Sept.

Anyway we have late seating and are in Cat 9, Cabin 2610!!!! Hubby and I are celebrating 25 years!!!! This will be DCL cruise #11!!! I don't wish change of ports on anyone but honestly, I would not mind if we had to have a "mystery cruise"...must be the adventurer in me!!! Anyway...I am so glad to be going.

Whoppee!!!

The big cheese and me!!!

Celebrating 25th wedding anniversary!!!!
11th DCL cruise!!!

We want to try Paradise Beach this time in Cozumel. Have no other plans set yet in other port....probably just wing it and enjoy a lot of ship time.

Oh....would anybody be interested in getting a dinner table together?? Just a thought as I know I would prefer to dine with people I know (be it virtually) than complete strangers....if anyone is interested let me know!!!

We are a very easy going couple (won't discuss politics!!!).

Anyone want to post pics so we know who is who before we sail??? Would love to meet all at the Dis meet onboard!!!

Here is Mike and me!!! The kids are upset they can't come this time!!!

Mike is Port Authority Policeman at the George Washington Bridge in NYC. He has been on high alert since 9/11 (he lost many friends on the PA police force that day) and I can see he is getting burned out from all the OT. I knew a DCL cruise would be just the thing he needs!!! I work at a small law office as a secretary and also work for the mouse p/t.

In just a few weeks we can experience this!!!

MJ: I got excellent rates from National using the Entertainment book. We're flying in the night before and staying at POP using the $49 rate. Our car for one day is $30.11 including taxes (using the upgrad coupon from the Entertainment Book). Aftre we cruise, we're staying at AKL for 2 nights--that car was$70.94 from National.

Glad you can join us. Your family looks great, and I thinks its great that you're celebrating 25 years!!

 

[mmouse37]

Thanks...I have not tried National yet!!!

[mmouse37]

Thanks Darcy!!!

Kathryn.....hey, I just checked the DCL website and now they are showing availablility in all these categories...granted not much in each category....but I think some TA's must have released some of their unsold cabins back to DCL.

Cats 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 now showing as available!!!

I booked my car rental thru Alamo on Disney Property I go t a minivan for two days for $80.00 total. We will be staying at Pop Century for two days prior to the cruise and want to have a car to go see family. Go to Alamo web site and over to the right it says Plan Ahead Specials. They have great deals and have a location on Disney Property at the Swan Hotel.

Hope this helps you

 

[mmouse37]

Thanks for the tip.....I did finally book with Alamo but the rates under Plan Ahead Specials were much more than the regular rates for my ressie.

I have a wierd ressie because I am picking up the car in Tampa a few days before and want to keep it the whole time and return to Orlando. I finally got an acceptable price of $188.00 total including all taxes, etc. for the 10 day rental with Alamo. Avis, Budget and National all quoted prices between $219.00 and $294.00 for the same time period...I tried every code combo out there. With Alamo I used the Costco code and a $20.00 Costco coupon.

We will just leave the rental at the Radisson during the cruise.

We have always done the 2 one-way rentals but keeping the car the whole time is not that much more than the 2 one-ways.

Thanks everyone for your help!!

WOW, after all the planning we are almost there! I have to agree I would not mind a "mystery cruise" myself! However, good weather is a must! We are so looking forward to meeting all of you! Welcome aboard mmouse (I think that's right). Anyone have any spa indulgences that they think are spectacular on the Disney Line? Would love some feedback from the verterans. The kids are now debating a dolphin encounter.....they are a little skidish however. I think I might not bring them back from Mexico if I pay and they chicken out! Anyone have any first hand knowlege?

We are definately fired up in OHIO! Can't wait for the boat drinks!

My plan for the spa is to just get a Rainforest pass for the week. I have done the massage on CC and loved the view, hated the actual massage. I thought about doing the REAS package, but DH was not at all interested in doing a massage, so I decided to pass.

DD came home from a shopping trip with her semi-formal dress--a little too grown up at first glance, but it looks cute and appropriate on her.

Can't believe how close it is getting!!

 

[mmorizio]

The suitcases are up from the basement. My travel gadgets are already in mine. This weekend I'll print out my packing list (which I've been working on for the past six months).

I can almost taste the terrible coffee from the deck 9 coffee/tea station... Ah...

 

[dinnysuw]

Hey All!
I have an updated cruiser list with those new arrivals added on-if anyone is interested on the newer version please email me and i will get the updated one out to you!
I can feel the ocean breeze in my sleep!

[two-foxes]

I am starting to get REALLY excited! I am getting a bit ancy about being away for 3 weeks, but I have a feeling once I know the dogs and cat are taken care of, and we are finally landed in Orlando ( I HATE flying) it will all be smooth sailing. We are now waiting on the docs for the 10/02.....

So, on a non cruise related note, who has done Mission:Space and not gotten sick? I'd hate to not ride it when we are there, but I'd hate to ride it and then feel like crap! I figure I'll flip a coin and ride it at night.
