Sept 4-8 2005 Wonder S.S. Member Cruise! Part 2

[HookdonWDW]

Because of having a given name and preferring a nickname, we named our children Cameron & Walker so that there wasn't a chance of a nickname.

Don't be so sure Cindy! Sam has another friend named Cameron whose nickname is "Cam"

ATTENTION PARENTS TRAVELLING WITH KIDS!!!!​

If you would like your child included in the "Child's Surprise" for the Cruise, please make sure I have your child's name. If you haven't received a PM about this, PM me or Cindy (cgcw), and we'll be glad to share the info with you (I'm not posting it here because some kids read the board). If your child's name is on the list below, you are included!

The cutoff for adding names to the Child's Surprise List is AUGUST 8th.

Thanks!

I think Sam & Nick will have a lot to talk about this summer!.
Nick will look like a little he has grown a new appenage until he finishes the book.

LOL... I can relate... Sam is a "multi-reader", so he always has 2 or 3 books going. Right now he's reading The Magician's Nephew along with the new Potter Book (although I think he'll be concentrating on Book 6 until he finds out all of the dirt!). I love the fact that he likes books! It's great to have a child thinking that taking away their reading material is worse than taking away the TV.

We do the 1 hour of TV/Computer/Videogames per day during the school year, and I have friends who can't figure out how I do it. Between school, Scouts, sports and reading, I don't think he could fit much more than an hour of the others in anyway.

Scott,, I just bought a shorty wetsuit at costco. $29 for a large that should fit me. Is there any reason to bring it on this particular trip to Castaway Cay? Are you bringing yours? How about Lynn? I thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and buy one since the odds of going to a cruise are high when it is not summer and I don't like being in water that is not real warm. Also, should I get one for Billy, Angela , or Kristen?
Bill
To me PS,, is it a good price?

OK guys, we just got a mailing from DVC about the cruise. Included was info on making shore exc, Palo, spa and kids stuff reservation on line, Shore Excursion info for Key West and CC. Info on PI party and getting you limited edition stuff. Finally a name preference postcard to mail in if you do not have Internet access.

Here is my question, use just first name or full name?? Wish I knew what was planned as it might make a difference. I.e. coffee mug verses a certificate , suitable for framing.

Scott - I had asked DVC about that when we first heard about it here. It is for first names only. You only need to register if you go by something other than a given name. For example if a womans name is Elizabeth and she goes by that she does nothing, but if she goes by Betty then she should register that. Hope it helps.

Bill,
The price is great, we will bring our shorties for this trip, in May we brought full suits. The water should be warm at CC in early Sept, I would guess mid 80's, warm yes but if you are in it for awhile the convection effects will start to take their toll on the old body core. As you say chances are pretty darn good you might be taking another cruise.

Happy Birthday on this thread to you.

Thanks Mary for the response, we should be set. Great job on the site you guys, the pictures are great.

 

[cgcw]

Bill To me

Why Bill, is it your birthday??

Many happy returns.

We just became members of the board. I just read about the surprise for the kids for the DVC cruise.

Can you tell me what the surprise is and what we would need to do if we decide to participate? Also if we can still participate.

Our kids are 14 and 17.

send us a PM about the details.

Thanks

Pete and Faith

We went online and updated our names through the member site. (well Matt's anyhow as he is Matthew but wanted whatever it is to be Matt). Did anyone get a response back via email or other method? I believe it mentioned we would be contacted in a few days and have not heard anything thus far.

Pete and Faith - Welcome to the DIS! As far as we know the DVC Member Cruise is sold out and has a waiting list however you can always give them a call to check!

Nick is a "multi-reader" too. His plan is to just work on the Harry Potter book and get that completed. He was getting a little caught up with the anticipation of the release of the book. He already has asked when the next movie is coming out.

 

[Stitch#1]

Isn't it an amazing problem to have when you have to limit a child's reading time? I hope Nick enjoys the books. He'll probably get right back to it tomorrow morning.

He has already figured out if he reads X numer of chapters per day how long it will take hi to finish the book. He bought a book the other day and made sure to to finish it before HP came out so he could just concentrate on that.

send us a PM about the details.

Pete & Faith - welcome to the DIS and the Member Cruise thread. Great to have you on board!

 

[WDWLVR]

Happy Birthday Bill!

 

[Diana Lyn]

Mary--
I love your glittery VMK name! Did you buy your princess costume and space suit today?

 

[grumpy-1]

Welcome Yensidfan, I'm sure you enjoy all of the cruise tips on this board. I know I have learned a great deal

Tonight at dinner, my DH asked me what a konk kooler was. Guess whose been lurking? Hi Honey!

I've never seen my DH as excited as he's starting to be over any vacation we've taken in the 20 years we've been together. Gary tells me it's our first cruise and he wants to help plan it. Maybe it's middle age creeping up on him but this is definately a first. It's nice to have some help in the decision making.

One would think with the excitement in our home today that this cruise was next week. The kids have their pirate outfits tried on and put together. Later this afternoon, we went to the mall because DH needed to look for some clothes for the cruise.

We should have spent the day today getting read for our trip to Hilton Head. We leave a week from today. For anyone whose been there, it's an easy trip to pack for. Swimsuits and shorts. We don't even bother taking dressier clothes for dinner as we do a lot of cooking in the villa. The couple of times we dine out, it's usually a casual affair.

We'll get back and the cruise will be right around the corner.

 

[HookdonWDW]

I'm still jealous of your HH trip Cindy! I hope you guys have a great time! Oh... and is Gary thinking he'll actually get to try your Konk Kooler???

Gary is definately more of a beer type of guy. No foo-foo drinks for him.

I'm sure we'll have a great time at HH. How could we not? I haven't read all that many negative comments about HH. Good thing. But, those of us who have been and plan to return really need to stop talking about how great it is there. If we're not careful, we won't be able to book it because everyone else will be going instead.
