Turkey Day Gang 2009

[Morgey24]

Donna -- it is a lot of money and I understand. I brought up the topic around here and was veto'd. DS13 said it is to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah so it really should be Disney.

The 75 day mark is Monday. Would you be able to contact your TA over the weekend if you decide to cancel?

I don't think so (as far as contacting TA) over the weekend... I asked DD13 yesterday if she was excited and she just rolled her teenage eyes at me and said "Mom, you take me on so many cruises what difference does one more make" which made me think 1) why do I bother and 2) why pay more for DCL when it is me who wants to cruise 24/7/265

I could save so much $ by booking Costa (cat's outta the bag) that I could pay for a spring break (non DCL, of course, since March 27 rates are astronomical) cruise.... but what the heck. Might as well live large and do Disney while I still can and then try to figure out later how to also do a spring break trip.

if it was a couple of days ago and I hadn't paid in full, well, then, that'd be a different story....

Regarding the washing machines, they are front loaders and everything in the laundry room now only takes the KTTW cards. In June, the detergent (I used Tide) was $1 and the washer and dryer were each $2 per load. When we would come back to the room before dinner, I would run put a load in and take my shower. I'd then run down and throw them in the dryer while I dried my hair and finished getting ready. I run get the clothes before we left for the night and it worked perfectly. Of course I was always fortunate that there was always a washer or dryer open when I needed it!!

So, I don't need to bring quarters!!?? Yay!

Actually, I'm gonna try to pack enough so that I don't have to do laundry. I've almost seen fights break out in that laundry room. Once, there was a man waiting for a machine. He took someone's wet clothes that were finished washing and laid them on the table so that he could use the machine (it seemed perfectly Ok to me since the lady wasn't there to get her clothes out and she was taking up a machine with people waiting). She came in and saw her clothes on the table and read him the riot act! She was super hot! Maybe Disney should post laundry etiquette rules in the laundry rooms or something.

I am crazed over the Disney Cruise - DD is as well - DH could take it or leave it. Years ago we thought of switching to another Cruise Lines to save money - but DD and Dnephews said NOOOOOOOOOOOOO - they wanted Disney - so we booked -- now Dnephews can't afford to come and I am sad over that - but still tickled pink that I will get our last Disney Cruise with DD before College.....

Our very close friends are NOTTTTTTTTTTT Disney fans at all - so we probably won't be cruising again after this one on the DCL

Cost will be a factor for this decision as well as wanting to explore other vacation ideas....

I guess if I had the option of one cruise over another - and no one but me cared which Cruise Lines - I would do what made me HAPPY - eheheh - selfish I know...but oh well...

I hate having to do laundry on the Ship - people are not very nice at all when it comes to leaving laundry and then the RIOT act -- ugh -- I hope that I wont have to do any - ohhh boy do I hope!!

I've seen upset laundry folks, too. The one that got me was the upset lady when someone was FOLDING her clothes that they had removed from the dryer so that they could use the dryer.

Dryer stopped. Guest was not there to get clothes out of it. Other guest did exactly what I would do (and then more) by putting dry clothes near the iron.... Original guest was **hot** (more so than her lukewarm clothes!)

Maybe DCL should put bins of some sort so that if you had to remove someone's dry clothes there would be a little 'storage' area for them..

PS - I know I am weird but I actually enjoy clean clothes mid-week (especially unmetionables and pjs) more than I dislike doing the laundry so I'll keep doing a midweek load of whites.

I am figuring that since we have sea day on Sunday and Monday - we will have swimsuits on....so that saves a little - the undergarments will be the biggest problem - but they dont take up much space...

I recall being in college and washing them in the sink - eek - but oh well - I am hoping to not pack a lot this time - I have two swim suits - a cotton moo moo dress - black slacks - two shirts - two shorts - two tshirts and two tanks -- I am hoping that will be fine - if someone see's me in the same outfit two nights in a row - oh well - OH yea jammies too! ehehehe

DD is going to be my pack rat --

question - has anyone ever sent the clothes OUT to be washed and folded ? is that worth it ?
