September 19, 2010 - anyone?

[Jey12]

Sweet upgrade, I am so happy for you! As a side note, I am so sorry to hear about your father passing away. My condolences to you and your family. I hope your cruise is extra magical.

Thank you so much. My Dad loved to travel and be on the water so we will do his memory justice and have a grand time that's for sure. The added pixie dust of an upgrade to enjoy the view even more is just a welcomed bonus.

Jey12- I am so very sorry to hear about your Dad. I can't imagine what you are going through. But I am very glad to know that this will be a special cruise for you.

 

[Crystal_27]

Geeze, you miss a couple of days, you really miss a LOT! First of all, I'm so sorry to Jey12 for your father's passing. Sending .

I'm so glad to read that some of you received a bit of pixie dust in terms of room assignments! Awesome!

For us, DD started school today (first grade) and she was super excited. DH and I took the day off today, and I can't wait to pick her up and hear all about her first day. We met her teacher last night at open house and I'm very very impressed with the teacher! Here's hoping its going to be a great school year. Have a good weekend everyone!

Thank you for your kind thoughts, it has been a tough day that's for sure. To answer your question I believe all cat. 9's on deck 2 are large porthole rooms, where the ones on deck 1 have the two smaller ones. We aren't too far away from you and our room has the large porthole.

Another bit of good news our friends were upgraded to the connecting room with ours! Now it can be one big room! Woo hoo!

Awesome that is great news!

How exciting!! How did it go? By the way, are you posting a journal over on the wedding board? Just thought it would be fun to read if you were!

I was thinking about getting in on the fish extenders, but would like to know exactly how it works, and what all in involved. Any help would be appreciated. My friends Jey12 kind of explained it to me, but would like a bit more clarification of someone who has done it could help a sister out..lol...

It is a bunch of fun. You buy or make a fabric pocket hanger which hangs from your fish outside your cabin door. Then, you give and receive gifts from everyone who is participating. So super fun! If you are interested, let me know and I will get you added to the list.

I hope everyone had a good weekend. We actually visited my family in Knoxville, so my DD was super spoiled all weekend long by her cousins. Now I can offically say that our next time out of town will be when we are Disney cruise bound!

Is Eli going to the Oceaneer's Club/Lab?

I'm feeling very encouraged by the amount of kids around my 4yr old son's age. I knew there were going to tons of kids, but it's nice to see. Last time we went my husband was on leave from working in Iraq (independent contractor) so Alex didn't get to spend as much time as he wanted (as in all of the time) in the Club. This time my husband's been back (for good) since December. I have a feeling I may not see my son for all four nights.

 

[Emsabems]

I'm with JRose - VERY excited about all the 4ish year olds! My guys will likely spend every evening in the club.

Aiden is 5, very talkative, never met a stranger. A bit bossy as he's the older brother Jacob is 3.5, very mellow and loves to keep up with the older kids, especially with anything physical. They are both super excited about the cruise, we've been keeping a countdown calendar and it's definitely overshadowing back to school

I've been explaining to them that they will have their own special 'camp' where mommies and daddies aren't allowed - they think it's cool that there is a place just for them, and are very aware of the fact that it isn't the 'babies' area (Thank you Disney for finally getting both my kids potty trained - apparantly the threat of staying with the babies was needed to seal that deal!)

They will love meeting all of your kids!

Only 39 days left!!!!!

BTW - if you haven't already found it, there is a cute desktop app called the Disney Vacation Connection - it's a suitcase that tracks all kinds of info about your trip and has links and videos to content... we've had fun seeing how many days are left and playing with all the buttons and functionality.

 

[JRose48]

Emsabems- That's totally how I got my son potty trained before our cruise last September. I told him "There are no Pull-Ups on Mickey's Boat." two weeks before we left. He went underwear and never went back.

Apologies for asking, but is Genesis a DD or DS? I'd love to have you and your DH names as well (trying to stay organized here!)
