So glad Scott and Lynn and Peter and Jenn are onboard for sure. Such fun

Peter,

Most likley we will be at OKW. Planning on arriving friday before. Then again if Food and Wine is going on we may opt for an EPCOT area DVC.

 

[Scott H]

Food and Wine is Mid Oct to Mid Nov. So looks like OKW. Bigger rooms at OKW.

Rumors this past week aboard the Magic were that 2007 would bring a cruise to the Med. Not saying who told but . . . . it was a CM

My stateroom host told me about the repo cruise back in Feb. 2004, and he was right. I wonder if the CM's know more than they lead us to believe? Well, I was hoping for Alaska, but the Med. would be awesome also. Sounds like I am going to need to get two jobs when I move to Florida.

We heard rumors of the repo from a Staff Captain on our November 2003 cruise and booked a fictitious date. He told us not to plan our trip to DL until a couple months after Bill's birthday. Pretty close.

If it is going to the Med. in the summer of 2007, Shari has already said that we are going to be on the crossing. And she also wants to do the first cruise around the Med. as well. I guess I have to start saving up those vacation days now.

Ken

P.S. - I've gots dibs on the lanyards and name badges for the crossing in 2007.

SEE YOU THERE .. I Need a Lanyard..Peter

 

[moocow35]

Ken, I share the same thoughts as Shari. I would do the crossing and the first Med. cruise. If it is to be Alaska, I was going to do the Panama crossing again, and up to Alaska! Come to think of it, maybe I should get 3 jobs when I get to Florida!

Robin

 

[krdisneybound]

these cruises and schedules are killing me also. I'm gonna have to sell more of my household goodies on e-bay to keep up with the cost.

Yes, I think another lanyard would be in line.
Ken, no one will take that away from you, I think everyone will protect you in that
Linda will keep the scrapbooking & the navigator - no one takes that away from the Scrapbooking Queen..

Hi Guys!!! What a great sailing group you have already!!!

Hey Ken... get a lanyard ready for me and Joe for 2007 I wish it could be for 2006 too, but... no can do!

I wish that we could sail away
With all of you and play all day
The friends we've made have been the best
We had such fun, all can attest

Two-thousand and six will soon be here
You'll all be gone, I'll shed a tear
We'll have to wait until '07
Until we find reunion heaven ​

I know you guys will have a great time! Someone PLEASE PM me shoujld you hear of the 2007 list... complete with REPRO information! THANKS!

 

[Scott H]

Crossing for sure for us as well.

OK OK OK , I couldn’t take it anymore. I just booked this puppy. I am glad we did. Talked to a very nice sales CM who was on the May repo cruise. She thought our lanyards were KEWL!!!!Learned there will be no group sales, i.e. DVC and family reunions, no weddings, no REAS, and no promo bookings, on this cruise.

I am still optimistic about it being available for DVC, I was told that “maybe” it would be opened up on the DVC Member Cruise. We will see. If not we will have points for 2007.

Lynn just said you people are a bad influence on me, like she really put her foot down.

Scott, is that a "for sure" thing about the DVC points? That was plan A for us.
Now we may have to do cat 11 if we have to do cash.

I told her it was all Peter’s fault.

Isn't it always?

 

[BobandLee]

Atleast I have a leg up on the next cruise.
I have my pirate outfit, tux and grass skirt already.

 

[Scott H]

Bob, it sounded pretty sure to me. I did email DVC on Sat and will see what MS has to say. There is still good availability so I think (hope) it will be available on points. If there is availability I think it would be opened up for points. Will let ya know as soon as I hear.

Thanks. Lee is going to make some calls tomorrow. Guess we'll decide when I get home from work.

Cat 11 is not bad it keeps you in the Cruises..

We love our Verandah's but. we love to cruise more..
we had cat 11 on the repo and again on this one we have downgraded from our cat 7 room..

At firsst Winotracy and I thought we could get a cat 2 and split it.
Then We got the prices From Cotomom..
No Way ..

Just like doing new routes on Dcl..
More..

I was going to say the same thing that Peter said. Theirs was more like a shoe lace, thinner and longer than our repo lanyard. I liked it much, much better. If you want I can bring one with in less than two weeks!

Tracy

Tracy - can you bring it with you so I can see it? I'd really like to compare the two together.

Thanks!

Reneé

 

[winotracy]
