That Fantasy can't steal our Magic! March 30, 2012

[karajeboo]

Flying back the day you get off the cruise is not bad.
We do it when we have to.
This cruise is using up DVC points so it just made sense to use a few more and stay at WDW on each side of the cruise.
We used to fly in the morning of the cruise too but that is really tiring. We were getting up at 4 to catch a 7 am flight. Didn't work well with kids.
Besides, I have to have my Disney withdrawl a bit slower than getting off the ship and then "bam" I'm home that night wondering who is going to cook dinner

Sometimes it's best to just RIP that bandaid right off! Last year we stopped in Jacksonville to visit friends (we had just moved from there to SC and were missing it terribly!) but we were so miserable we couldn't even enjoy our visit! I think we just need to avoid other people for a few days after the cruise to allow us time to wallow in our own self pity!!!

OK, I am loosing my mind! I was just typing up my itinerary and realized that I did book our flight back for Saturday...so we have an extra day in FL after the cruise! I've changed my rental car so now I have to figure out what we want to do so I can book a hotel room!
Wow! Glad I caught that one ahead of time. Wouldn't that be a mess!

Good thing you noticed that! We are flying out Friday. I have to get back to the real world in time for Easter dinner as I am cooking! We usually do pre-stays and not post stays as the one time we did, we found we needed a vacation from the vacation. After a cruise we are usually so relaxed that we like to ease into life and visiting the parks is too hectic -- easpecially at spring break!

We won't be going to WDW. Now, I'm trying to decide what to do with our extra day!

But a GOOD mess! You just "found" an extra day of vacation!

woohoo! more time to have fun. We are flying saturday too - like 230pm I think. Not sure what we are going to do. I want to do something but not sure we would be up for the parks for the day. I remember last time we were tired.

Are you on U.S. Airways? We might be on the same flight.

Hey all, just a quick pop in to say I got my biopsy results and they are NO Cancer!!!!!

I was sooooo nervous we might have to reschedule this cruise if they'd found cancer. It would mean another surgery to remove the rest of my thyroid and then radioactive iodine treatment in 4-6 weeks which would be cutting it sooooo close!

But thankfully, it's all good so I can now start on those FE gifts, and about to finalize the FE list!!!!

WOOOHOOO!!!!!!! Great news Kara!
I am anxiously awaiting the final FE List--- I have been picking up things here and there but I don't want to get too ahead just in case more families join.

 

[khristy68]

Great news Kara, Yea! You have put so much work into this cruise already. It would have been a shame to miss it.
I'm so excited, can't wait to board the Magic and have an adult beverage!

 

[karajeboo]

I just sent out the first FE list to everyone for whom I have an email address.....

If you did NOT receive an email from me, then I think I am waiting on your to either complete your information or decide for sure whether you wish to participate. I have a couple families on the list but I only have names for them, no email, cabin#, etc..... So PM me if you need to get me more info. We will cut off the FE on Feb 15th to give everyone plenty of time to complete their goodies.

Oh, and Happy Groundhog Day!!!! If that little bugger runs back in his hole.......

 

[karajeboo]

From those on the list on Page 1 of the thread, I'm missing info from UMTerp, kikids, brat5063, emdowens74. I think a couple wanted to be listed on there and join in the DISmeet, but are not participating in the FE, correct? I think we have a great group here, not to big, not too small, and whether or not you participate in the FE, please do join us for the DISmeet at 3pm in the Promenade Lounge on the day we leave port. We'll get a group pic and it will be great to put faces with names, if for nothing other than some "hellos" throughout the cruise!

Thanks for all your hard work on the Meet Board.
Just want to give you a big hug!
You are awesome!!!!!



Is anyone here going to the Med in 2013???
We are going July13, 2013

 

[karajeboo]

Oh, and ya wanna know what I'm doing this weekend?


PACKING!!!!! Soooo excited to start packing! I was afraid to start before, for fear of jinxing myself and the biopsy results. But now I'm gonna start with by trying on shorts and summer clothes, packing up FE stuff, and all the things I won't need to use in "real life" between now and then. SOOOOO excited to pack!

Kara-thanks for arranging all of this- i am looking forward to meeting everyone!
Maybe you should put together a little poem for the meet like your dad did for your WDW trip....

 

[karajeboo]

khristy68, your email bounced back to me!!! PM me to make sure I have the right email address!!!!

And there will be NO POEMS like my dad writes!!!
