[kjguy43]

Our final payment is due June 18th, then we can set all our reservations, kinda dissapointed we booked our airfare early. I am seeing some real good prices from PHL to MCO, oh well what can you do!

 

[kjguy43]

Trying to keep both of our threads on top...3 months to go. We should decide on a place to meet and time, so we can meet all of thosw we have been chatting with the past year!

Hi Everyone! I just booked this cruise! YAY! Even better, we scored a SPH stateroom! I feel like I hit the DCL lottery!haha! Are any of our SPH neighbors on this thread? It'll be me, DH, DD10 and DD7. Can't wait! This will be our 4th Dis cruise (did the 3 & 4 night), but our 1st 7 night! I'm too excited!

I got up early Sunday morning and got everything we needed, then the website crashed!! Thankfully, everything was fine when I checked later. It feels good to get the online check-in completed!!!

Wow, congrats, that is like a lottery! I've gotten SPH rooms but booked when came available WAY in advance. I had 5020 for this cruise...... or was it 5022, I forget, but then sailing Wonder Sept 06 it was a little cheaper to book Cat 8 with the rebooking deal so I did that. (Smarter people would have figured a way around the new booking only deal and got the rebooking discount on the Cat 10 SPH ........). Anyway, I have 7 and 8 yr old boys so our youngest should be in same kids club. I like the idea of mine together but their ages have them in different clubs this year. Its our first 7 nighter as well, after doing one 3 and one 4 night on Wonder. I'm hoping we do well with it, I've bought every anti-nausia product available as I worry about higher seas on Magic vs Wonder. If we like 7 nights, we have Tgiving 2008 booked.

I booked morning Doubloon snorkel, anyone here doing that?

Hi there! Ok, so what anti-nausea product did you get for the kids? I'm wondering what's available for them.
We were on the Wonder 4 night last Sept. 3-7. Where you on this sailing, too?
Hopefully my Dd's will want to try the clubs this year. Each year they go for a very short time, and then that's it. They never go back!

Yep, we were there. Judging from teacups and such, its much more of a mom problem than a kid problem at our house, sea sickness that is. I loaded up on things from drugstore dot com and bought ginger pills somewhere, may look for ginger chews for kids at some point.

Relief band - pricy, for me but wouldn't harm kid if needed
Little Tummys Nausea Relief with Natural Ginger Extract
Bonine For Children, Motion Sickness Tablets, Berry Berry
Sea-Band The Original Wristband, Children, One Size

Also had doc write prescript for ScoPace pills. If needed I will take 1/2 pill, none of those for kids.

Thanks so much for sharing this info w/ me! I've been thinking about this since my Dd 10 had to leave dinner on the 1st night last cruise. Her stomach was really upset.

You're welcome. I'll give you some more info about the Relief band in case you are interested. I was hopeful but somewhat skeptical but figured it couldn't hurt to get it, $90 from drugstore dot come, free shipping. Figured if it worked, I'd have it for the rest of my cruises and if it didn't, they are selling for around $60 on ebay used. (save $30 buying the version for morning sickness, same product, slightly different instruction book). Anyway, still really can't say how it would work on a cruise but I did a theme park road test. I don't think it was mental, that I "believed" it would work so it did, I really didn't think it would work on theme park rides. I road the "Storm" at Islands of Adventure (very much like teacups) and hoped it would "help". I rode three times in a row with the kids and felt fine. So, I'm pretty sure that, for me, it will work on rough seas if we should have them.

I've had luck with dramamine riding the Hulk and doing Spiderman rides but the Dueling Dragons (lots of loops) has always left me naustious and needing an hour rest even with dramamine. So, I HAD to test the relief band on DD. I felt a touch on nausia on the last two twists that stuck around for 10 minutes or so afterwards. Thats a hugely successful test for me. Your milage may vary.

Well, I'm going to Universal Studios and Island of Adv. today, and the rest of this week. I'm taking my Bonine, I'll see how it goes. I never heard of Relief Band. What is it?

We were able to book our excursions/Palo yesterday (and I did!), but my brother and his wife will have to wait a bit!!! I hope they get the excursions we did ... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I can't tell you how excited I am ... well I don't have to ... you guys KNOW!!!

Looking forward to PIRATE NIGHT!!! Loved it on the Wonder!!!

Is there a list of DIS people somewhere on this thread??? I didn't have a chance to go through the entire thing yet!!!

I saw your thread waivering about which excurisons, what did you decide? We signed up for the Doubloon sail in the morning.

 

[Castillo Mom]

Hello everyone! Forgot that there was this other thread going. Well, we're getting closer and closer to sail date!

WOW ... we did, too!!! We decided to go PIRATE!!! It's going to be SO MUCH FUN!!!

OK, let's cross everything for sunny skies and calm seas! I'm a little worried about weather that time of year. The boys will be 7 and 8 (almost nine). Not sure how into snorkeling they will be but maybe if the seas are calm they will try. If they breath in salt water at any point they'll likely hang on the boat with dad.

 

[birdmom]

Its been a long time since we checked in, we are still going me dh, dd 11 dd 7 and my mom

 

[birdmom]

Hmm. .. .we should definitely plan something!!


I was looking around at other meet threads and I like the idea of a DIS Tag Game: Make a couple of Mickey shaped door magnets that will get passed around the ship. Each person who receives the magnet will sign it, then go "tag" another participant's cabin door. See how far it can get and how many signatures it ends up with, how many times it can make a few rounds.


What do y'all think?

I love this idea
