Turkey Day Gang 2009

[LAMPSKIES]

A married couple from anytown USA are at the Kitchen table. Each with their laptop, typing away... Checking out all of the known Disney sites. Wait..... The pecking away at the keyboard has stopped. From that moment, there is an excited yah hooo, HEY Look at THIS. EASTERN 2009 TURKEY! CRUISE.

Then another excited yah hoo!, we don't need two rooms, DS will be away, in the Army or out on his own. The wife says to the husband, Let's not take the Girls either!.... A quiet hush over the table......DD's come to the room. read what we are doing. Objection from their voices!

So, what's going on? We are asking the other Turkeys

ICE/ Mickey send us the scoop, Willie- the girls not going? based on your prices?

We'll see ya

[Tinkerbell 99 Mom]

Hey everybody... Out of the loop for a day or so, working out of town...

We were able to get the OBC that Chuck was talking about... We were also told that you can transfer to a few different travel agencies that are also offering OBC... I will try to check it out.

We had a great group for 2007 and it will be even better in 2009....

I am going to try to post a few photos this week.... I also have our 2007 photo which turned out great.

Christmas is coming !

Is everyone busy getting ready? It is a cold 31 here in West Virginia today.... I hope to at least get a few lights outside.... We don't have a tree up on one present wrapped.... I am hoping to get in the spirit tonight.. The first of the Holiday parties. The one tonight is for Larry's office.

Wendy

 

[Capt.782]

Got the tree and decorations up, No shopping yet though. We have our office party tonight.
Will start some shopping next week. We moved into our new house the week before our thanksgiving cruise so we are still un packing a few things.

I haven't done much shopping yet (am preparing to order most things on-line,) but I've been busy baking. (I freeze most things ahead of time so I can just thaw them a day or so before Christmas.)

Well, my DB, DSIL and nephews and niece are boarding the Magic as I type this. DSIL just called from the port, and when I answered the phone, I at first thought it was my niece, because she was squealing with excitement! This is their first cruise, and they're awestruck! (Told them to get to the port EARLY so they can get Palo brunch ressies. They already have Palo dinner booked for tonight! Oh what I'd give to be back on the Magic now.)

Priscilla-I wish that I was going on the Magic today too!!

Wendy- sounds cold in West Virginia!! Today it's about 80 and sunny in S. Florida!! I am a cold weather wimp eventhough I was born in Chicago!!

We are half way thru Chanukah--Mason got the video camera that he wanted and has turned into quite a movie director!! He also received a lot of gift cards from relatives. We spent this morning using a few of them, but then he decided he rather be home playing with some of his new gifts than shopping!!

Rob

We are probably doing both, we were planning on a 3 week trip out west with our R.V. this summer but got a piece of property we are going to keep it on so we are doing a cruise or Mexico for spring break and a cruise each of the next 2 years, Thanksgiving due to Jess going away to school.

Lisa, while in college I had a friend whose mom made the most wonderful latkes! Do you make those? If so, please make a batch and bring them with you our next cruise! I also attended a Passover dinner at their house and LOVED the cherry wine. (Yes, I love sweet wine.)

By the way, my DB (who's on the Magic right now) called us about an hour after they boarded and stated..'sell our house, and you can keep our car. We're not leaving this ship!' Yep, sounds as if him and his family are already hooked!

Priscilla

Lisa can make Latkes and they are very good.

For 2008 we are heading to the Disney World in Jan then off to Maui in June and maybe finish up the summer on a Carnival out of San Juan. Thus our next Turkey cruise will be 2009. See ya there don"t be late

Hi all,

Weather in St. Louis is lousy...rain, freezing rain, general yuck at 30 degrees. The weatherman is talking like the end of the world is coming..."Major Winter Ice Storm...." Fortunately, they missed the mark again (at least where I live) although some folks in outstate MO got hit with as much as an inch of ice!

Finally bought the Christmas tree yesterday...but decided to paint the living room before we put it up. Now for some online shopping...

Hope everyone is well.

I would have a hard time getting away without the girls...they would have a fit.

I would prolly even have to bring a friend with them again!

Right now, we are booked on the Mariner of the Seas for July 27, 2008 out of Port Canaveral. My girls liked the Voyager class ship so much, with all of the stuff for teens...You know I am DISNEY thru and thru, but it was a nice sailing. I have no major complaints, really.
Kelli loved St. Maarten and St. Thomas. And would like to return.

We are gonna see how end of year bonus looks before we decide to do the Turkey 2009.

I will check in and visit with yall here and keep ya updated.

 

[ICEMANPAD]

Well hopefully it will be a good bonus Willie...

Just booked --- rooms 2122+2124

We stayed in 2122 on the Med cruise last summer. We just booked 2106 for Thanksgiving 09. It sure seems like a LONG way away from now!!

FYI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The extra $50 stateroom credit for those who are Castaway Club members who book this week for 2009 cruises is CUMULATIVE to the $200 onboard credit, so all those who booked Turkey Day 2009 yesterday who have already sailed once (or more) on DCL should make sure they get the extra stateroom credit.

Chuck

Huh?? I booked today, the 10th, and Disney would not give me the $50 credit on top of the $200 onboard credit. Did I miss it by waiting till today? What gives?

Unfortunately, I believe the extra 50.00 credit was only available through Saturday. Maybe they'll run another?

 

[ICEMANPAD]

Given that Lampy posted the pics on 12-8-07 w/the comment "8 days ago", which would be Nov 30, 2007, I'd say those are from Castaway Cay since that is where the boat would have been on Nov 30. Also, that looks like CC to me, although I could be mistaken.
