[SCOTTOHIOCPA]

Disney1fan2002 - We are getting off the ship to go to the Blue Lagoon. Then shopping, then out to Atlantis for a little gambling. Can you tell we are type A vacationers? I hope we make it back to the ship before she sails! lol.

Enjoy having the ship to yourselves in Nassau!


Scott's countdown to the Mickey Ship:

Wow. Looks like we're the only family on this thread at the main seating. Oh, I feel so left out now! You guys are going to party and have a good time without us every night! LOL

And when we are all asked to leave, you can pretend you do not know us!!

Anyone else stying on the ship in Nassua? We don't plan on getting off, going to take advantage of an uncrowded ship.

We are planning to stay on the ship (maybe we will get off, but not planning on it) at Nassua. We are in such a need to just veg. I am hoping to see a movie in the theater!! I can not remember the last time I went to the movies. We might even get up LATE!!!!

Got our docs!!! We're in room 6147 though I don't know why since it's a handicapped room. I'll have to go look at where everyone else is now that I have a place

 

[disneysailor]

Bostonlass-CONGRATULATIONS!!! You must be relieved to finally have your docs, feels official now right?!

Disney1fan2002- We will most likely be on the ship in Nassau too. Last time I was really sick when we were docked in Nassau. I didn't get off but my family did and they weren't too impressed. I've been to Paradise Island and Atlantis before so I would rather spend time having fun on board. I'm bringing my Atlantis t-shirt though so I can feel extra touristy. As far as dinner, I hope all the rest of us aren't on different dining rotations. Last cruise we were pretty much seated at tables for our family only. I was really disappointed since my husband and I had fun when we cruised and were seated with others. I hope there isn't some sort of black mark next to my family's name . Anyway, hopefully we'll be seated with another family this time and see some of you in the dining room. Wouldn't it be funny if some of us ended up being seated together? Of course goofy601 et al will have be over whooping it up at their table! Hopefully we'll run into you disney1fan2002 at all the other eating places on the ship!


Scottohiocpa- It sounds like you'll have a full Nassau day. Hope you all have a great time!

Well now that I've cleared out dh's closet our bed is covered. Better go get it cleaned off before bedtime.

Have a good night

 

[goofy601]

Good Evening All!

It's really a good thing that I am not sensitive...I've got such a bad reputation already. Oh well - I'm going on a MICKEY SHIP and I'm going to have LOTS of fun.

Bostonlass - congrats on the docs! With the trip being so close - I would have been a nervous wreck. Your on the same deck as us. I'll try and keep the noise down in our room! Hee hee!

Disney1fan2002 - we will all probably be on the ship at Nassau. DH is the only one considering getting off for a bottle of rum. He and MIL discuss going to Atlantis - but he still isn't too sure if he really wants to go. Anyone on if it's worth the $$? Have fun at main seating - at least your little ones won't be sleeping in their main course! Wouldn't it be a switch if you changed to late seating to be with all of us!? They would find that highly unusual since most people are trying to switch the other way!

Scottohiocpa - have tons of fun at Nassau! Sounds like you have a fun filled schedule planned! I'm planning on kickin' back and enjoying the view -- and hey - where's that cabana boy with my fruity little cocktail?

disneysailor - we're going BACK through the luggage and putting in some of the new stuff from MIL. She bought us so many great new clothes -- for the cruise! She came in for the day on Sunday and we went to the mall this time - what a dangerous place to go!

Gonna run - have to get to the gym and continue trying to get in shape...it's a neverending mess. Ta ta for now and see you all really really soon!!

Oh gosh goofy601- I sure hope I haven't hurt your feelings at all. Actually, I think you have a GREAT reputation. I wish I could be half as outgoing and entusiastic, you must be lots of fun to be around and I can't wait to meet you!

OK, back to that cleaning that I keep avoiding.

Bye!

 

[goofy601]

disneysailor - I sent you a pm! I can not wait to meet you and your family and everyone else! I really have only become more outgoing over the past year! I am just really excited about this trip! We're going on a Mickey Ship! Hip HIP HOORAY!

See you ALL really soon!

Ok cross that room off the list! Videogal on the main board did me in. I called Expedia and I'm now back on guaranteed status which means I could very well get that same room but if at all possible I told them I want a room with a tub since the girls have never taken a shower. Not that that would be the end of the world but to be honest I think I'd feel very weird about being in a handicapped room if people are that sensitive about it. Kind of like being told you can park in a handicapped spot by a policeman but no one else knows it so they keep giving you dirty looks. (i know that is a poor example but it's the only one I could think of ) This way I won't find out till we board the ship what cabin I'm in but heck........it's something to look forward to!

Goofy..........we're going on a Mickey Ship!!! Trust me...that phrase of yours is contageous and has gotten me through some hurdles this past month!! Thanks for your enthusiasm!!

See you all soon!

 

[disneysailor]

Bostonlass- I just read the thread about your room. YIKES! I applaud how you didn't get sucked into the whole situation and maintained such a positive attitiude. It's amazing how an innocent question can create so much controversy especially when you had no control over which room you were assigned. Have an amazing time no matter which room you all end up in!

 

[bostonlass]

Well I handled it civilly in public anyhow.

I can't even believe Disney let me put myself back on guaranteed status! If I had known that in the first place I would have done that anyways since I really don't want a handicapped room due to no tub. I know that guaranteed means that you have no choice but this is an unusual circumstance. Like I said, I may end up with it anyways but this way maybe I'll luck out in the end.

I'm getting so excited to see the countdown clock look so low! It's hard to think that it's that close for me since I have so much to do before hand!!! I'm stressed out beyond belief!!!!

This week:

Thurs - go shopping with Emily and Megan for b-day presents for their friends' birthday parties. (this will be after 5:30pm and we'll still have to eat and do homework when we get home)

Fri - leave work 1/2 hour early (my boss is not gonna like that!) so I can pick Emily up, feed her and take her to her friend's b-day slumber party. Then work on party favors for Megan's b-day which is Saturday.

Sat - Pick up Emily from b-day party and drop off at my sisters since Megan doesn't want her at her party. Then host Megan's b-day party.

Sun - CCD, then drop Megan off at her friends' b-day party.

Tues night - Clean house from top to bottom for upcoming party. Remind ex for millionth time to bring cupcakes to school for Megan's school party.

Wed - Have b-day party for both Emily and Megan at my mom's house.

[travel with kids]

Goofy601--Ah! I LOVE your reputation!! From the very begining (way back on 9-8-03!) you have kept all of us full of entusiasm and excitement. When we were all complaining about our jobs and lives, you kept our sights on the Mickey Ship. I am very excited to meet you and hope that you know that you are held in the highest regards!!! ........Lee

PS--What is this about repacking? I have yet to even pack one bag!!!

 

[cori4disney]

Wow! and I thought I was excited before!!! I am so excited now having read this board - - - so many wonderful, fun loving people - - - I can't wait to meet everyone!! My daughters are also very "bouncy" with joy!!

[travel with kids]

I can not believe that it is only 16 days for us until we leave!! We are getting very excited.

 

[goofy601]

Hello All!

I am getting so excited! If you thought I was excited before - just wait! LOL! I just got home from a Creative Memories class and everyone there had such wonderful ideas for my photo albums (that I haven't even done yet)...my cruise photos! I really want to get busy on those albums - but I have to go on our cruise first! This is SO exciting!

It's so hard to believe that we are almost down to single digits for our countdown. I'm feeling faint here!

travel with kids - yes - I was actually just about done packing. Then MIL took us shopping and now things have got to get redone. I have a very full schedule between now and the MICKEY SHIP -- I was trying to get everything done early and it all back fired on me...but that's ok - because the end result is well worth the agony!! OK - EVERYONE - Say it with me...we're going on a MICKEY SHIP - HIP HIP HOORAY!

Alright - just out of curiosity - who's more excited in your households? The kids? Or the adults?
I'm pretty sure - it's the adults in our house! I'll take that vote tomorrow!

Gonna run - I'm falling asleep sitting up!


See you all VERY VERY SOON!

You guys are making me so excited for this cruise!!!! I appreciate your positive thoughts!! I haven't had much time this week for thinking about the trip. We're under the gun with the BIG decision of where to send DS to college!!!??? I know we have the oldest in the group, but believe it or not, you'll blink your eyes, and you too will be facing this as well.....I hope we have decided by the cruise, so we can just relax and stop talking about it!!!! Deposits are due May 1st..... I just can't believe my 'baby' is this old! The old cliche, "where did the time go!" really holds true! This will probably be the last spring break both my kids have off together. Sorry guys, I'm feeling a bit melancholy about this whole thing - his 18th bday was a week ago today....

 

[goofy601]

thebets57-I don't know how you do it! I look at my kids (12 1/2, 8 1/2, 4 1/2 and almost 3) and cry like a baby when they reach certain milestones...I can not imagine that step being ready to be taken...I feel for you!! I work with a bunch of young guys at the greenhouse and it's strange when they start talking of heading off to college. Ah the joys of parenting!

Once again it's raining in OHIO! One thing for sure - I'm glad it's not snow - we'd be knee deep if it were. Thankfully - our vacation is only 15 days away!! Hip HIP HOORAY! We're going on a Mickey Ship!

[disneysailor]

Hi all!
Wow! We leave home in fifteen days, I can hardly believe it. I guess it's kind of like you said thebets57, "where did the time go?"

Well, my laundry countdown may be stalled. After paying the repairman $53, he basically told me that I need to buy a new dryer. Of course my dryer is about six years old and the washer is about 26 years old. I can think of a lot of other things I'd rather be buying but we could be buried in clothes if we don't replace it soon.

Thebets57, I'm getting a small taste of what your going through with your son. My daughter goes to middle school next year and my son is off to high school. I can hardly believe it and it definately makes me teary eyed if I think about it too much.

cori4disney- Did you read this whole thread? That would take a while. I'm glad you and the girls are so excited. In response to goofy601's poll, I think in our house, it's the girls that are more excited than the boys even though my son was the one who kept begging to go on this cruise again. I'm sure dh and ds are looking forward to it but dd told me that she can't concentrate at school because she's too excited thinking about the trip (like mother, like daughter).

guardwife- Has your husband returned yet? If so, please welcome him home for us and give him our gratitude!

Sounds like we'll all be pretty busy between now and the trip. It's hard to get all these last minute details taking care of. Good luck with everything. See you all soon!!!!

 

[travel with kids]

It is cold, raining and miserable outside. .......We're going on the Mickey Boat

In our house it is DD and myself that are showing the most excitement. DS is too cool to get excited and DH has been waaaaaay too stressed to even acknowledge that he is going on vacation.

 

[goofy601]

Hello!
This is Mr. Goofy601. Thank you all for your condolences. I will be the one by the pool with a nice stiff drink after that long ride. I was wondering how this lunch and breakfast thing works. Are we assigned resturants for those meals? Or do we fend for ourselves. Thanks!
