Turkey Day Gang 2009

Just wondering - do they do a pirate night on the 3 nighter? When we did the Med cruise this past summer, I went out to the local costume store and bought pirate outfits for all of us (leaving the country makes you do strange things :hippie: ). My husband is praying that he doesn't have to put that thing on again. Gotta love pirate night!!! pirate:

We're doing a 3 nighter for the first time this November. I have a feeling its gonna feel way too short!!

Each of the cruises has a Pirate night, so tell your DH to get his costume ready! :rotfl:
 
I think my ticker must be broken, its moving way too slowly. I've never gone so long before without trips to disney planned. My sister lives in FL and used to be a cast member so we'd go down 4 times a year sometimes. Then when dd hit 3rd grade we started limiting it to 2 times and now we don't have another trip planned until this cruise:sad1: I'm definately suffering withdrawl.

Instead of getting ready for work I went back and read through this thread...

Chuck - no more comments I promise. I won't even be watching the game if it is televised. DH is the one threatening to cancel if he can't watch the game. I'm pretty sure he'll be able to "watch" it on his blackberry though I don't know how much that will cost. (We're still waiting to see the bill from our 4 day cruise last week.) Given the choice of a lounge chair in the sun or the game; I'll pick the sun. And I swear we're not the rabid type, its just so much fun to see them on tv these days. They were horrible when we were there.

Laura - If your nephew does decide to go to VT I hope he loves it as much as I did. And also what instrument does Logan play? I was always jealous that my sister got to play at disney several times while she was in hs. The band never traveled to disney when I was in hs but as soon as I left my dad suggested it to the director and from what I hear they go every other year still.

Rob - at t-giving this year we hit just the water park and got the kids a mini fix because we didn't think we could handle the long lines in the parks. But now given the fact that I don't know when I'm going back I'm wishing we had hit the parks lines or no lines.

Lisa - I just read about the vow renewal. That sounds beautiful. I didn't even know they did ceremonies or that there was a secret deck. Is that on both ships? I just went ahead and pre-ordered the passporter. I did notice a bride though on pirate's night on our cruise last week but I was thinking that she was dressed as Elizabeth in her wedding dress. As far as weddings my favorite thing that I've ever seen was the trumpet voluntary as the processional with a live trumpet player and an organ playing together.

Jodi - 3 days will probably seem short after your long cruise, but its a cruise and sounds great to me. Do you have a report posted on your med cruise? I'll have to check.

Guess I better stop the procrastinating and get ready for work.
 
Paula - Logan plays the French Horn for band concerts, but he marches with a Mellophone. That reminds me - I need to get moving with some room and meal reservations for April!

No, I didn't do a trip report or a blog. I'm just not that organized. However, I did recently discover Shutterfly where I was able to create an album by just clicking and dragging all my pics over. It turned out great - was really fun to create. We had a blast on that trip but are now POOR!! There are just too many places to go and things to see.

Who is the UVA grad? I went to William and Mary in Williamsburg. I'll never forget when during my freshman year when our football team played UVA. We actually WON! :cool1: I'm sure that will never happen again in this lifetime. My niece is at Tech and loving it.

I'd better get to work and stop dreaming about travel. Its nasty here today - sleet and rain. I'm ready for spring time already.

I am from Pikesville a NW suburb of Baltimore, but I roadtripped to Richmond several times back in the day (Virginia Beach too).

Hello all - I almost strayed....

:::Stands up:::

My name is Lisa and I almost cancelled my DISNEY CRUISE for a trip to an all inclusive resort in Jamaica....
Someone showed me a site that had an all inclusive resort that was cheaper than the DCL that we are going to be going on. So I started to look at it --- really look at it --- talked to the families and asked them ---- ::SHIVER:: two of the kids were for the all inclusive – the other two are only for DCL….
At the all inclusive the renewal vows are only $500 and are on the beach at sunset…the cost for airfare and all amenities WERE cheaper than DCL….then I thought and I thought and I thought….then DH and I talked and talked….he said “do you think it is smart to do that?” “I am all for it since you plan amazing vacations” “Do you really think the kids would have enough to do and not get in trouble in Jamaica?” “what is the drinking age in Jamaica?” So after eating an amazing dinner that I cooked – he finally said “I would love to do the all inclusive – but I really think we should keep the Disney Cruise!” so I agreed and feel relieved --- :::: Phew :::

Someday I would love to do an all inclusive – but not with the kids :rolleyes1 :rolleyes1 :rolleyes1
 
We did Couple Negril about 10 years ago, ie before we had Mason, and it was very nice, but, the Jamaica all-inclusives may be better w/out the kids...especially where the kids may be teenagers.
 
So has anyone seen Hannah Montana 3D this weekend? Mason really wants to see it. I went on line to purchase tickets this morning. There were only 2 available times (checked all theaters within about 30 min drive). The times are 11pm tonight or 8:40 tomorrow morning. Yep, we are going at 8:40 am tomorrow. Well, Mason is very happy!! :cool1:

Lisa
 
Lisa,

Glad you didn't "stray." We've not done an all-inclusive before...but I can't imagine it being better than a Disney Cruise!

Can't wait to hear the details of your vow renewal. I don't think I could ever convince DH to do something like that, so I live vicariously through you!

Karen
 
well we are now torn.....do we take the extra money that we were going to spend on VR and stay at AK for 5 days ( we are already planning two days there ) soooooooo....it is hard - I want a vow renewal but everyone else votes Animal Kingdom....

DH wanted to know if there is a nice chapel on the island that we can do a vow renewal at...I just don't know where to look for one!
 
Lisa-

You may want to try cruisecritic. They have a board section and there is a thread for each cruise port. Good luck!! :)

Really miss everyone from the Gang... I am back and hope to catch up with our posts over the next few days.


PS: We are at Saratoga Springs April 7-14th.. I did not when your Spring Break Cruise was? I know it will be great.


Wendy
 
Everyone !

Been out for a while, but now I am back... Hope everyone is doing ok. We got a few pictures back from Thanksgiving that are really good.

Karen I need to get a few for you and I may need to beg some photos of Andrew and Lindsey... I did not have my camera on the big night.

Wendy
 
Spring break cruise is March 29-April 5, but we also have Wicked tix on the 6th...if you are still coming to Boca in May though, please let us know.

Chuck:cool1:
 
Wendy - if you are at MK for the afternoon parade on the 12th, you'll see Logan's marching band! Lenny, Leah and I are flying down for a quick trip so we can see them.

Hi Wendy,

I was just getting to my cruise pix. Steve and Andrew are gone for a Cub Scout thing this weekend and I'm having a quiet weekend...just me a the dog! I'll e-mail you what I have or I can print them and send them to you. Any preference?
