[carolsherman]

OK guys almost double digits after today for me


Lets hope we have nice weather.

Lets see the kids and I are doing the horseback riding in Grand Cayman, Possible the jeep tour in Cozumel, renting bikes on Castaway Cay (its awesome we did it in February of this year), and Buying trolley tickets online to just kick around key west. Anybody else !!!!!

As far as lime green ideas we already have our Disney lime green swatches from Home Depot they are so cute in the shape of Mickeys Head

 

[BAKAROMA]

I got some lime green ribbon today!! What are we going to do without dueling piano's???? I will have a bit of a crisis w/o ESPN box too. I gave friend our itinerary to look at so I will post our excursions and ressie plans as soon as I get it back from him.

 

[MNmom]

Let me get this straight...

ESPN---becoming a teen hangout.

Uncommon Grounds--becoming a coffee house (This could be dangerous.....I usually just bring a bunch of International Delights and mix it in my regular coffee )

Dueling Pianos (can't remember the real name)-- sports bar??

I think we should also see the new show "Golden Mickeys". I've read that this is fantastic!!!

Am I missing anything?? Can't wait to hear the scoop after dry dock.

 

[MNmom]

hey carolsherman---

I picked up my Mickey Head green swatches from Home Depot tonight. What are you going to do with them??

I have heard some people make buttons or name tags from them but I am not that crafty

Any ideas??

 

[BAKAROMA]

does anyone know how a DISer get together gets organized on ship? I saw something about DISer shirts being ordered. Does anyone know about that? Count'em down!

 

[klineyqueen]

I am so excited!!!! My whole family is ready for a vacation!! My husband and I are doing the jeep tour in Cozumel. My baby is spending that day with his Grammy and Pappy. Our other excursion are baby friendly - - we are touring the other two throught Disney! Train in Key West and Bus tour in Grand Cayman.
We got the baby some really cool cruise wear on the bargin racks!
We had a bib made for him for christmas...it says My First MAGICAL Cruise. It has the date of sailing and a mickey. We know a lady who does that machine stitching. It is so cute!

 

[BAKAROMA]

Following are our tentative plans
Palo Late dinner Day 2 Key West, so we can see the sunset before dinner
High Tea Day 3 @ sea
brunch Day 6 @ sea
Excursions
Key West- play it by ear
Grand Cayman- 1/2 Captain Marvin (booked it), seven mile beach and/or shopping
Cozumel-Chankanaab or Mr. Sanchos, Sally's mini golf, and shop (whew that might be too much)
Castaway- nothing too expensive water temps will determine a lot on this day

 

[klineyqueen]

Your trip itinerary sounds like so much fun!!! You have no idea how excited we are all becoming as this trip approaches. With the holidays coming...we will be so busy that it will help to speed the time until we sail!

IT"S THE THREE MONTH HAPPY DANCE

I almost forgot. We are leaving tomorrow for a 3 day trip down into the Grand Canyon!!! I am a little nervous for all of the hiking 7miles down the rim and 10 miles back up!!!! Once we get home next week then it will be serious cruise count down!!!

My girls have been swamped with school work this year but once we are back from this trip they will try to get in touch with some of your kids too.

I am a little jealous that you are so organized with your planning already. Your itinerary looks great. We will be with Captain Marvin too, except we are on the 1100 tour. We are also planning Chakanaab and Minigolf too!!

WOW---I still can't believe it is 3 months away!!!

I'll check back in when I return next Friday!!!

 

[BAKAROMA]

MNmom,

I will be intersted to see how busy things were at the Grand Canyon. It is a Utah holidaay this week and many head that way. We are in Northern Utah. My wife is from Apple Valley and I am originally from Northern Idaho. Count'en down.

 

[BAKAROMA]

Hey, what do we need to do to get everyone chatting on the cruise meets page?

 

[MNmom]

I am back from my Grand Canyon trip It was fantastic and a great experience to hike all the way to the bottom...and back!! Please PM me if you have any questions about it. I encourage everyone to make this trip and not to just go LOOK at the canyon!!

But now it is time to get serious about cruise planning!!!
Where is everyone? I wonder if some of you are emailing each other and not making it to the boards. Come back...we miss you and we are getting so excited

Has anyone every heard of Cartier Towncar company? We have 10 people and would like to ride together in a van. This is my cruise planning activity for the week.

 

[Freelion]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the boards and was very excited to find this thread!

This will be our first ever cruise. We love the idea of meeting up with DIS folks. We will be at the Radisson on the 16th too, so count us in on any pre cruise or cruise meetups.

Let me introduce our families.

My family: Me, 43; DH 41; DD 6

Friend's Family FF, Her DH, DD 6 and DD 3

We will be celebrating our 20th anniversary, my birthday (2 weeks before we sail) and dd's birthday (2 weeks after).

Someone on here was asking about friends for her daughter who will turn 5. Both our girls are 6 but I'm sure they would love to email her and know they have a "club buddy" before we leave.

How do I add that countdown thing to my messages?

Can't wait to cruise!
Freelion

 

[BAKAROMA]

Freelion,

I have the dd who will turn 5 1/04. Looking at the age breaks she will have her sister with her who is 7. Our soon to be 5 year old is always the odd one out so if I could tell her I have already found her some friends she will think she is cool. You could sen me an e-mail at bakaroma@sisna.com or a pm through the boards. I could send you a photo so agian she would feel pretty cool. She is a pretty funny kids bewteen her facial expressions, vocabulary she's trying to grow into, and her square body.

Keith

We look forward to getting to know everyone in advance of the trip. The countdown continues. I am wondering if there will be any other educators playing hooky on our trip. I am a principal and my wife is a teacher. This date was just about the only week we had no conflicts all year.

 

[Freelion]

Keith,

My daughter loves the idea. I tried to send you an email last night but it bounced back. So I sent you a pm with more info. The girls would love to exchange photos and maybe notes or drawings or such.

Freelion

 

[BAKAROMA]

Freelion,
I have not gotten a pm for so long I can't figure out how to get it and can't find directions in the FAQ. Anyway, pictures will be a snap. We could do snail mail pen pals too.
