Congrats! I just requested a quote for the 7/18/09 Eastern Caribbean cruise to Tortola.

Where is the 9/26 cruise headed?

St. Maarten. You're going to pay top dollar for Tortola in July! We've never been to either place so it didn't matter to us.

Welcome!

Hey everyone,

We just booked a 7-night EC cruise on the Magic departing 9/26/09. Only 351 days to go! QUOTE]

That's so cool! We still haven't gone on a cruise yet - but someday we will. I'd like to, but DW is still apprehensive. We had the opportunity to book one this year, but she changed her mind... now the kids are working on her too, so maybe we'll get it done sooner rather than later.

Start with a 3- or 4-nighter to make sure everyone enjoys it (that's what we had done). Most likely, everyone will be hooked after day one!

Like stopher said, make sure you get some pictures and share them here.

will do for sure...I have a new camera and new sd cards...that aI will take lots of picks with the Mansion and Goofy

 

[stopher1]

Man I'd love to see that. Got any pictures?

No, sorry I don't - but it is really cool. When Bloodhound gets back I know there will be some posted! Until then, you could check out Miceage.com or Mouseplanet.com - I believe they both have had some recently.

Excellent. what kind of camera did you get? I just love getting those new electronic toys. I got a Cannon last year for Christmas.

St Maaren. Nice. We've been there twice (but not on Disney). I love that island. I assume you'll be visiting St Thomas and Nassau as well since its 7 nights?

Stopher thanks for the tips ...The Haunted Mansion is already my number 1 pick...we have 3 days to do everything ... over and over again....lol My daughter is now 24 and my grandaughter is now 6 months so we will look forward to there first trip together in the future.....our money is tight so we dont go often as we would like...my antiques business isnt doing well this whole year...time to dump it and start something else.

Have a great trip to WDW

Have a great trip, if you are something of a history buff you might want to look into catching a ride on "Lilly Bell" . As I understand it this was Walt's personal car on the DL railroad. If you are interested, you can only board it at Main St. station, and it is not always on the track. to get on board you only have to ask the station attendant. I regret that while we where there she was off the train for maintenance

 

[zuperdaave]

So You and I will pass each other in the terminal!!! I am booked on the Sept. 12, special itinerary, then the Sept. 19, western. back to back.

Wow...good for you...that should be some trip. Good job on your recent TR for WDW too...

Yes, it goes to St. Thomas as well.

the next day we spent with my DD and DGSs off property, we went to the Millennium Mall in Orlando, I've got to warn you guys, if you make this mistake... hand cuff your wife to the car!! the place is huge and my credit cards will never be the same we had a nice dinner for just us two after every one left and shared a bottle of Korbel

Our last day there was spent at Down town Disney. We met with another of our DIS friends for lunch at "Captain Jack's"

Connie and Chuck

the four of us

food as alway was very good

the French dip was super
when Connie and Chuck left DEB and I rented a pontoon boat for a run around the bay and canals.

I got a good look at the new DVC Tree Tops under construction

they look like a fun place to stay you can check out the floor plans at the DVC site

Grumpy John,

First let me wish you a belated 18th anniversary. You and your wife look like you really had a great time. Thanks for the pictures and the trip report. The food looks great.

My DS14 is the BIGGEST Chris Angel fan. I thought I was a cool dad for bringing him to WDW, but I can't let him see your post or there'll be no peace until I get him to Vegas to see Chris Angel!!! I have to ask, when you were in Vegas did you do any of the thrill rides on top of the Stratosphere Tower and if so how were they?

The rides are Great like nothing else. If these same things were on the ground you might not give them a second look . But putting them that high and at Night was very wild. Rollercoaster at NYNY is real nice as well.

TDF that is so VCool I'm a hugh CA fan as well love his TV show and will see his Vegas act as soon as we get back out that way.

Didn't even know there was a Dad's thread, how can I join, or did I just join?
Been on the disboards for years. Big Disney fan, I think 80% of the list applies to me.
