Special 9/1/08 Cruise Continued

[ryrysmom14]

Is that what KTTW stands for? We have begun to call it "The Key to the Wallet" card!!!

That is soooo funny!! I think I like your version better!

Great thread...thanks to all for putting so much energy and enthusiasm into it.

Our family (DH, DW, DS13, DD10) had a great surprise last week when our waitlist on this special 5-Night cruise came through! Rather than going to Disney's Beach Club for a week (our first stay there, which we were very much looking forward to), we are now going on our second Disney cruise, and didn't even have to adjust our airline flights. We are super excited for many reasons, one of them being that during our first DCL trip (Feb 05) the Magic could not make it into Castaway Cay because of unfavorable tides. Our entire extended family was onboard, and we all took it with good humor (we still laugh about the Captain's announcements and multiple "attempts" to get into CC that morning after his first very serious attempt early that morning). I even had flown in from Fairbanks, Alaska the day before we departed on that trip, and it was -48F that morning...and over 70F when I landed in Orlando! But thats another story...

Anyway, on this 5-Night trip, however, we are going to CC twice...sweet...so hopefully our per trip average will be a solid "1" after this trip!

Obviously, since we got our confirmation so close to the departure date, the reservation link for Palo's is already closed. I know they hold some reservations for the day we depart, but does anyone have any idea how quickly those will go if we get to the port early? Also, anything else we should be thinking about now that we are so close to the cruise date?

See you all onboard!

Hi If i could have all the first names of the traveling party we could get you on the roster, Do you have an assigned Cabin?
and add you to the lanyard list.


Welcome aboard!

If you are worried about feeling left out, I sure wouldn't worry. We have never met anyone that will be on this cruise. It will be fun putting faces with screen names, as I am sure that I have a lot of preconceived notions as to what some folks look like, and I am sure my ideas are nothing like what the real person looks like.

It will probably be interesting to see how few people on the ship are not wearing lanyards from our group. Do you think folks will be wearing them most of the time?

I think a lot of people wear them a Lot.
it is a great place to keep your room key .
you will see them all over no wallet for me, when and we leave the ship just DL and room key ..
maybe CC or some cash.


some folks have included photo's on the roster.
Just click the link - it is the dis name.


* before name means you will be onboard! & info we have is correct!


Dis Name in Red = Main Dining
Dis Name in Blue = Late Dining

If your First names are in Magenta, It indicates that you are doing Back 2 Back cruises, That would be the 15 Night repo before this cruise.
Maybe not the same cabin!!!
Clicking on the Dis name, will bring you to a Photo if there is a line under the name.

[winotracy]

Hey there! I don't know anyone either b/c this is our first cruise, but have a feeling we are going to get to know each other. I remember when looking at the FE list, there was a group all around us and I remembered your screen name! We are in cabin 6520 in between you and your friends. We have an 8 yr old and a 3 yr old and see you guys have lotsa kids in your cabins... so lotsa fun in the area. Looking forward to seeing you on the ship!

I'm pretty sure I know you already

 

[ryrysmom14]

I'm pretty sure I know you already

Yes, you do! Tracy is my most fabulous travel agent for this cruise... I'm so looking forward to meeting you in person! Do you think you could explain the onboard credits to me one more time...

 

[two-foxes]

I just discovered Zazzle.com....what a fun site! Got our FE gifts from OTC, and made custom stickers and a magnet for our door from Zazzle. I feel like I am spending as much as I will on vacation before the vacation! But, as usual, it is fun

Merrick is still not walking on his own...don't know if that is good or bad. I am not sure if I want a newly walking toddler at WDW or on a rocking ship, but I am anxious for him to walk without needing to hold our hand. I imagined him unsteadily walking up to characters on the ship, but alas, he just may be crawling instead!

How old is Merrick?? I'm trying to convince my daughter to let me take MD on a cruise in December..or at the very least next May. She's not keen on the idea at all... now she's telling me he has to talk, walk and swim first....

 

[BobandLee]

Good Morning All.
Great morning here in the heartland. Nice a cool....for now.
Hope the weekend is going well.

,,,It will probably be interesting to see how few people on the ship are not wearing lanyards from our group. Do you think folks will be wearing them most of the time?

Well, you almost need to wear a lanyard to hold your key to the world card, there not being pockets in bathing suits, so i'm betting those who have them will wear them.

I think a lot of people wear them a Lot.
it is a great place to keep your room key .
you will see them all over ...

Ah Lanyards, they can be a double-edged sword.
(I appologize to those that have heard this one)

On the first cruise with a lot of these folks we had the lanyards.
Second night out, Lee and I had ours on going to dinner.
As we were getting on the elevator a woman looked at us, put her nose in the air and quite snootily said, "Oh, you are one of those lanyard people" and never said another word.
I had not even done anything remotely offensive.
But after the big sleep over, the jammie breakfast, the great chair robbery, ect. I began to understand what kind of group I was associated with.

But I always wear mine with pride.
It will be a good time.

Well, it is time for a Belle walk and then a soak before the heat rolls in.
Later kiddies.

He'll be 14 months at cruise time. I never hesitated to bring him....and we booked this cruise because of the "kid-friendly" intinerary. I had questions on what a 14-15 month old can do, as we have never paid attention to that stuff before, but I would never hesitate to bring a baby, regardless of walking or talking, on DCL. At this point, I completely get Merrick won't remember much, if any, of the cruise. But it adds to the memories for us!

Why does she want to wait until the walking and talking happens? The little ones are still mainly free until 2 years, so cost isn't too much of an issue! I be you could convince her!

Welcome back Scott & Lynn, Ken & Shari and Linda & Robert....hope you had a MAGICal cruise!!!!!!

Hi Everyone

Made it home in record time - no traffic! All unpacked and laundry started. Had a great trip. Weather was interesting. Very hot in Cabo, very wet in Mazatlan, hot and humid in PV.

DCL did very little for the 10th. Nothing special at all. They had a cake that said "Happy Anniversary". Alex and Carolyn had buttons made for everyone on the ship. We had a group go around and put them on everyones Fish.

Had a great time on the ATVs in Cabo and zipping in PV.

I'm now waiting for Shari to get the buffet ready for lunch - - - oh, wait - no buffet? I guess I'm going to have to call room service - - - oh, wait - no room service. What - I have to fix my own lunch? I think it's time for a cruise!!!!!!

Ken

 

[Scott H]

Bummer Ken is home already, well te crew is ready for us on Sept 1, LOL....

We had a great time and there are some new menu items on the palo menu that are to like die for, totally awsome.....

Seems like there will be a change over , turn over in crew, a few folsk will be ending their contracts before this one sails.

We are ready to go again,

The DVC calls just showed up here in the crown room,

We won't be home till about 8:00 tonight then gotta get ready for schol tmorrow, (LOL) I need to retire, going back gets harder and harder ,

I know I musta missed some stuff, will let Lynn catch up for us.

TTFN

 

[RweTHEREyet]

What day would that be? I will either be laying by the adult pool on the Magic, or laying in a hammock on Serenity Bay.

So GLAD you had a great trip!!! WELCOME HOME!

There was a great buffet here this weekend, but Joe and I had to cook it... and cleanup!

Can't wait until we sail in September!

Now you've got to get ready for your ride

Thanks again for your work on our lanyards. We can't wait to wear them!

Too bad Disney didn't play up the 10th anniversary. Sometimes (most) I really think they need to hire some of us to give them ideas for merchandise. Their sales would increase dramatically. It almost seems that lately they are just doing enough to get by, and the details fall through the cracks.

WELCOME HOME SCOTT AND LYNN!!!

I know what you mean about being tough to get back into the business things. At the end of every weekend I'm finding it harader and harder. I hit my 5 1/2 year mark on August first. It souns SO FAR away (because it is!!!)

Just think soom you'll be marathoning on DL... and cruising on te MAGIC!

Bob! Every time I hear that story I smile! I wonder if that was the same lady who looked down at my blinkie flip flops and said they were for children!

We wore our lanyards ALL the time. It made it easy to recognize everyone.

Remember... none of us knew each other on the first PC cruise outside of these boards.
