Who's cruising March 2, 2002

[imamoose]

We are going on our first "FAMILY' cruise. DD 8yrs old, DS 6 yrs old, DW (age restricted) and I, 42 going on 11, are well, getting excited to say the least. I was wondering if anyone has stayed in cabin #8102 before. It is on the back of the boat, big verandah, but I have read on a few other boards that those rooms are noisy and vibrate alot, is that true?

We will be there (Magic) on March 2 and will have my dd (1.5) and ds (5.5) with us. Maybe we will see you around the clubs!

Don't know the answer on your other question about the room -- we will be in 6042.

Hi, We are going on the March 2nd cruise and we are in 6512 or 14 and are friends are in 6534...hope to see you!

 

[LOVETHATMOUSE]

I will be sailing also with DH (38) and DD (6).

 

[peter pans family]

I am traveling (44) with my DH (49) and 2 teenage DD. CAN"T WAIT...we are staying at the airport Friday night and the Saturday night we get back!

I can't wait to go........I have a lovely picture of the Wonder on my desktop from last Thursday when it was in port. Will be checking out the port cam again tomorrow.

Started pulling together clothes last night. We have 2 suits and enough jackets to share between us (2 men) for the cruise thankfully...now I have to find ties to match...all this work! Got my shoes fixed (new soles), now I have to find some new belts. And then I have to figure out what suitcase this stuff will fit into.

I'm going to starting REALLY planning and putting what we want to do into a spreadsheet. Wish I knew what our dining rotation would be. Was thinking of "double dipping" at Palos and our regular restaurant on the night they do Who Wants to be a Mouseketeer.

We're staying at the Cocoa Beach Hilton the night before the cruise and at Coronado Springs the Saturday we get back. Just doing that Saturday in the parks then heading home Sunday.

TTFN!

This is our first cruise. We are taking my 4 kids, Isaac (13) Jacob 12, Grace and Corrina (6) twins. My mother is also coming along for lots of Disney fun. We are booked in room 6072 and 6074. Just started getting organized in piles of clothes last night. I cannot hardly keep the kids calm now.

 

[LOVETHATMOUSE]

Every night my dd asks - HOW MUCH LONGER!. We are also staying at the Radisson Friday night. We were going to do the Disney Hotel thing, but we don't land until 6 pm and thought it was better to just go to Cape Canaveral.

Don't have a room assignment yet - will get that on arrival - but have a GTY of Cat 9, Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom.

Like I said before, we have late seating, but am considering requesting a change to early. It just seems all the good activities for the 6 year olds begin at 8:00 pm. Will have to do alot of thinking about this.

Oh - I just bought suntan lotion and bonine - two important items to bring! Will start packing next week. DD is home for Presidents week, so we can achieve alot of packing and shopping.

 

[Muffyrides]

I did get two rooms booked at the Raddison. They were all out of the suites all they had left were king size bed suite-which is not enough sleeping space for my family so I just booked two standard rooms....not as good of a deal though.

 

[rcostello1]

I think I will just hibernate for the next two weeks Can't focus on anything else right now! I'm in the same boat (no pun intended hehehe) as LOVETHATMOUSE...GTY in Cat 9. The other room in out party is on deck 1 as long as that doesn't change.

We have late seating and I think that'll be best for us as we are all adults. I looked at the Wonder while it was in port today...sigh. I hope we have good weather on 3/2. Last few times I've checked on the ships it's been cloudy at the Cape. Speaking of which, sorry for the 2/28 Wonder people, but I'm hoping for a weather delay so we can see the shuttle take off on 3/2

Now I have to put all my notes in a binder and make a spreadsheet of what I'm doing and wearing...that doesn't sound at all type A does it?

See you all soon!

 

[joshua4]

Wait -- did I miss something? Did they switch the launch date to the Saturday we are leaving? If so, my 5 year old will be going nuts. Someone please let me know! THanks.

 

[rcostello1]

No they didn't change the launch date, I'm just hoping for bad weather on 2/28 and 3/1 so we can watch on 3/2. One can only hope.

 

[joshua4]

Hmmmm. Very crafty of you Rcostello1. I think it is a long shot, but I will keep my fingers crossed with you.

Muffyrides -- we are right down the hall from you in 6042 (I have a DD 1.5 and DD 5.5). We are also staying at the Raddison. Did you see the coupon information that someone posted earlier -- it gets you a standard room for $69 with no reservation. I think you can try to use it and then if they say, sorry no availability, you can say "Oh we have reservations" and use your originally quoted rate. The coupon is at roomsaver.com.

14 days and counting . . . So much shopping left to do (new sandals for the kids, bathing suits, etc.) See you there!

We to will be on the March 2 cruise, DH (55)and I (45) leaving the teens at home. Staying at the Raddison of Fri night. Is there a launch date for that night 3-1-02 That would be way cool ,but I dont think we get there till almost 7 pm. Could be why we had trouble getting a room. We also have late seating. I am looking foward to feeling the warm sun on my skin it has been real cold here lately

We are too on the Magic March 2. We will be me, DH and our two DD 13 and 11.

 

[imamoose]

Wow, it would appear we are all going to have a blast, I have a pic ture of the rear of the magic on my computer at home, work, tape to the steering wheel of the car, above my bed (so I can see it before I fall asleep) thought about having it tatooed on the back of my eyelids...but...well I'm in room 8102 on the very back of the boat....hopefully there will be some beautiful sunsets to enjoy...Suits of yeah thanks...but do I have to wear a tie...I have been told I have no neck....so usually putting a tie around it just makes my head swell up and turn purple...think I could get away with a very veryu nice turtleneck and jacket....anybody packing anything special for the island nite, mon......plus does anyone know if I can use or rent computer time on board to download and save digital pics or do I need to bring a laptop...I thought it would be easier to do it that way than let my 2 photgraphers to be blow thru 100 rolls of film....any info would be greatly appreciate.....we can't wait...... inkbounc

 

[imamoose]

as you can tell from reading that last post, I could also use some typing lessons, or at least the intelligence to read what I actually typed before I send it....but I'm going to blame it on my excitement..........................................

 

[disneyme]

We'll be there too -- me, DH, DS (turning 4 on cruise) and DD (10 months) and my in-laws.

Regarding the digital camera download, we bought a larger memory card to solve this problem for us - I think it holds over 300 pics.

 

[LOVETHATMOUSE]

12 more days! 12 more days! 12 more days!

 

[rcostello1]

only 8 more work days, that sounds better

I put together my binder of notes and now I'm making my spreadsheet of activities and things we're doing. No, I'm not type A or anything....
