September 3, 2005 --- Who is going?

[captaincrash]

Also....

(Pat) you can try room service with the limited menu - assuming you have a cozy enough cabin (veranda ideal). OR - just send your husband to supplement room service with a run to the buffett and/or topsiders (that grill by the pool?) for a main entree addition - as I have done something like this on other cruises when my spouse was ill or otherwise predisposed. I can remember cruising when she was seasick or tuckered out with a pregnancy and we just relaxed in our cabin.

I vaguely recall room service has many (not all) of the things that the main dining rooms serve.

I just got my docs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!! :thewave: Anyone else yet?

 

[MickeyManiac]

Darn, no docs here today. But I'm so excited to know they will be coming soon.
According to the countdown on my cell phone it's only
35 Days 20 Hours 16 Min. But who's counting!!!

Lisa- Did they assign your cabin number?

 

[Drcell01]

Not Docs here either but we did receive some new information about the recent Disney Visa bennies!

Anyone get a FREE upgrade? I keep checking the web site every day to see if our cabin number changed...

Just 34 days for us until we leave for WDW!

Yes we got our cabin......6080. Gotta work on my door sign. It'll be here before we know it. Hope everyone gets their docs soon.

no docs here either, i hope that they come before thurs. dw's dd and dsm are visiting till then and we wouldn't have to ship them to them that way. last year i was outside when ups man came and i got him to send theirs to them without having to pay extra. dvc says that they have to come to me since it's our points, doesn't make much sense, because i have to give their addresses when i book for them.

it was strange when they were delivered, i was on the phone in the front yard with our friends who were going and their ta had sent the docs, when a ups truck pulls up and he takes a little box to our neighbors house, i thought this was a little coincidental and i went over to the porch and looked at the box and it had my name and address on it, so i looked inside and there were our four books, so i called my fil to see if his had come, nope no sign of them, so i said that maybe they would get there soon, and up drives a second ups truck so i went out to meet him in case he got the address wrong again, and sure enough here were the other docs, so with fil still on the phone i got him to send them back to florida. it was alittle surreal to say the least.

It seemed like we had plenty of time to get all "the needs to do" done but now it seems like we are running out of time. I ordered DD pirate costume and accessories the other day. I can't quite remember where I stashed her "surprises". I never have found the surprises I bought for Sept 2004 cruise. I thought for sure I would have found them by now. I need to pick up a neck strap for the digital camera, that I swear everytime I use, I say I need to get one. I still can't find my magnetic paper from last year. I just started my list.........now lets hope I don't lose it. When exactly did I lose control of my life??????................

UPDATE.........I found my magnetic paper! I don't feel quite so lost now!

Thats great news!!!! Now if I could just find mine!

[captaincrash]

Oh yeah...

... gotta get pirate attire as well. If I ever get totally organized to cruise I'll probably be ready to collect social security! At this pace I'd be better off bringing a can of spray paint to decorate our cabin door. Of course - THAT technique might get me a stint in a dinghy trailing behind the ship - OR a heck of a bill at the end of the cruise!

So - I wuz shopping for my brother-in-law who was meeting us in Orlando to visit WDW while we were ashore - and I wanted to find them an "angle" wherby they might reconsider cruising with us (they actually have limited time so cannot spare the week) - but I went looking for cruise deals anyway. It seems DCL has some amazing deals on many of their 3 and 4 day Wonder cruises in September. Rates as low as $200 something for either date plus port and tax! Makes us pause to considier whether we can delay our return flight and sail the WOnder AFTER we sail the Magic! We're there already, eh?

Unfortunately we do not have sufficient vacation time - and the discounted WOnder sailings do not match up with my brother-in-laws' limited availability.

Oh well. We'll just see them on Friday and saturday morning it seems.

SO ... who is planning on bringing any pirate gear?

 

[pogopossum]

we are in with the pirate gear, we will use last year's since the kids can still wear theirs, i've got to look for a few additions for the ensemble.

 

[salbythec]

We are repeating what we did on our last cruise. Pirate T shirts and eye patches and wearing the bandana they give you.

Pirate night is so much fun!!!!!!!


Its getting closer!

 

[Drcell01]

We are off to NYC!!!

The Disney Store is having a celebration of sorts tomorrow. They are ending the 75th aniversary of Mickey Mouse by placing 5 of the 75th anniversary statues outside the DS on 5th avenue. They are also releasing 5 limited edition (LE 500) pins of the selected 5 statues. My DW and I will be there at rope drop.

From there we are traveling to Philadelphia to see my closest remaining relative, (I lost my Mother, father, and younger brother all within the last 4 years) my Aunt (mother's sister) prior to her surgery for Breast Cancer and reconstruction (about a 5 hour surgery) on Tuesday morning. She is also one of our family members (13 of us in all) traveling on our cruise. She is deturmined to recover quickly enough to travel with us on September 3rd. She did cancel her parasailing but refuses to cancel any of her other excursions.

Please say a prayer for her in her fight against this ugly disease!

 

[salbythec]

Bob and family
We will keep your Aunt in our thoughts and prayers.
May the surgery go well and she recover quickly .
