TiggerKing - Try Caryn at Mouseearvacations. 888-868-3800. She is wonderful and takes care of her customers.

I need a vacation too.

 

[TiggerKing]

Thanks Tonya. I will give them a call!

Hello fellow cruisers!

Hope everyone had a great week. The kids and I are going to Disneyland tonight so my son can go to the "Pin Trading Nights". Do any of you do the Disney pin trading thing? My son is really addicted and has over 1,000 pins.

Do they do pin trading on the cruise??

I also wanted to post a thread I have on the Disneyland forum of a Magical Moment my DD had at Disneyland:

Howdy everyone, especailly the new people. I havnt posted in awhile, due to illness, so I am trying to catch up on all the posts.

Katie, yes they do have pin trading on the ship. They have several pins that you can only buy on the ships, not at DL or WDW. I get a new one each time we take a cruise. I dont collect like your son, but I have about 30 I guess.
I can't believe we are at the ten month mark!!!

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

What a nice story about Marie! I guess I'm showing my age when I say I loved watching Donny and Marie during my high school years. "I'm a little bit country, I'm a little bit rock and roll." Now that I think about it, it was so corny to have the ice skaters open up their show every week. But, it was fun TV!

Anyone watch the Lost at Sea Primetime special last night? Sure glad I'm staying on Deck 2!

Happy Weekend!

We always have a great time at Disneyland, MamaKate! But that trip was one of the best!! And I loved your story about Marie Osmond. I can't wait to see the picture of the doll she sent.

Just wanted to log in to do the 9 month range dance!! Officially out of 10 month range, and into the 9 month range! Wow the time will go by so fast, I can tell!

 

[DutchsMommy]

Katie - cool story. My only 'osmond connection' was going to see Donny playing Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (I'm a huge Andrew Lloyd Webber fan). I was prepared to not enjoy it - I figured how good could he be - was expecting cheese - WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! He was totally amazing, the show was amazing and it is my second favorite behind Jesus Christ Superstar with Ted Neely (Jesus from the movie of JCSS) and Judas from the movie (can't think of his name right now).

Michelle - I would LOVE it if your DS and mine were 'pals' for the trip. It would be great if DS loved the Club. We went right around this time last year and he just turned 3 the day we cruised. He enjoyed himself, but I think was a bit young to fully get into it - plus he was 'just' potty-trained so I was really worried he would have an accident etc. Does your son like Dinsoaurs? DS is a HUGE dino-head.

It was a lovely day here in Toronto today - +10 degrees!!!!!!!!! Not sure what that converts to for you USers but it is WAY warm for this time of year. We spent the whole morning outside cleaning up the gardens, taking down the Christmas lights etc. I had my riding lesson this afternoon (horseback riding) and it was so nice to not be freezing my behind off in the arena. Tommorrow is supposed to be rainy and back down to +4 but that is still warm for us at this time of year. There is no snow left around our place. We have only had about 2 real good snowfalls this year. It was nice around Christmas as there was plenty of snow but now that we are approaching the end of January I am fine with the weather just the way it is!! I am excited about our WDW trip in less than 2 weeks. We're going to Gatorland and then to Chef Mickey's for dinner for DS's b'day (4 yo). I think he will have a blast - I know I will! Hopefully we get nice weather, but either way it will be warmer than here.

Hope everyone is well - Kathy hope you are feeling better. Talk to you all soon.

I know it is still early yet, but I was just curious where everyone would be the night before the cruise. Will you be in Cape Canaveral, Orlando, WDW or elsewhere. DW and I still have not made up our minds yet. I may burn some Marriott points to stay in Orlando, but I would not mind spending the day before in Daytona either. Then again, we may just do the port. Am I scatterbrained today or what?

I hope everyone has been having a great weekend. We had a little rain overnight, but it is up to almost 70 degrees here this afternoon. (BTW DutchsMommy, 10 celsius translates to 50 degrees fahrenheit....Man I can't believe I still remember that formula from school).

 

[disneediva]

WOW I have missed afew days and feel like I was so far behind. We had to leave our house for a few days so the contractors could start. We had some flooding after Katrina and have been living with the bear neccassities. So its nice now (only 5 months later) that we can finally get started getting our house back together.

My parents suprised my DS yesterday and booked an Alaskan cruise for him to go on with them and woowee mom gets to go to So we will be sailing in July. He is quite excited about this one.

Katie welcome too my DS and his friend will be there and they are both 11

Tiggerking we will be staying in Orlando the night before the cruise, since we will be driving from NEw Orleans on Friday

There are 13 in our party, we just booked the other night to stay right by Orlando airport the night before. Nothing fancy, I belive its a Best Western.
Hope to see you all on the ship...

Tiggerking,
we will be staying at our house the night before the cruise. Not very exciting huh? But the price is right. We will be moved to Leesburg Florida by then so it is about a hour and a half drive to the port.
We are rainy in florida today,but it's still suppose to be 70 degrees by afternoon.
Have a great week everyone,

Hi,
My group of 7 is staying at SS the night before the cruise. We are staying there for a day after the cruise too. We are taking a limo. We booked FL Tours.

Hope you all have a great day

Hi everyone,

There sure is a lot of activity on this thread now. We are driving down on Tuesday and will stay overnight Tuesday somewhere on I-95 around SC or GA. Then we will finish out the drive Wednesday morning. We will be staying two nights at WDW and plan to do MK on Thanksgiving day. Friday we will drive to Port Canaveral after sleeping in that morning. We have ressie's at the Radisson. Less than 10 months now! YEAH!

 

[Michelle2]

We will be staying the night before at the Radisson. It worked out really well and convenient for us last year, so we are just going to go with what works!

Dutchsmommy, my DS is huge into Star Wars right now...Everything is star wars, spaceships, and Go Diego Go! LOL He was barely potty trained on our last cruise too, but everything worked out really well. Now I have no worries this next time!

 

[grlzmom]

We arent sure where we will stay the night before the cruise.

We have done the Radisson and it worked out great. But, last time we stayed at Gaylord Palms the night before and went to the ICE exhibit and the kids LOVED the ice slides and displays. We wont decide until the date gets a little closer.

However, I know my dd will want to stay where her friends (Michelle2) will be at the Radisson the night before, so we will see.

We dont plan on doing a whole lot of formal excursions this cruise. Our kids were really happy with just casual beach days last time.

Going to go back and try to read the thread for everything I missed.

 

[MamaKate]

We're either going to be at WDW or USO before the cruise. I don't have our days before the cruise figured out yet, but I'll be at one of those places!!

 

[TiggerKing]

I hope that everyone has a good weekend! It has been a stressful week for us here. DW started having chest pains on Tuesday morning, and since her mom had her first heart attack when she was 2 years younger than DW, we headed to the hospital! Fortunately, we found out after two days of tests that it was not heart related. Now, we have to find out what was the cause of it.

So, we are going to spend the weekend trying to relax, and also trying to give away 9 puppies!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Tiggerking,
I'm happy to hear DW was having heart problems. I'm sure they will find the cause soon and be able to fix her up good as new!!!
Good luck with 9 puppies, that is a handful for sure!
It is cloudy and a good chance of showers in central Florida today.
I guess that is still better than all the ice, snow and cold a lot of you have in the winter. Although I do love snow and I miss watching it snow since we moved to Florida. It does snow at WDW each Christmas at MGM studios, but it's not quite the same as the real thing.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Tiggerking, tell DW our prayers are with her and we wish her all the best and hope to hear a good report on her progress very soon.

[Michelle2]

Hi everyone! Just wanted to wish everyone a great weekend!
Glad everything is ok with your wife Tiggerking. Hope you can find good homes for all those cute puppies!

 

[DutchsMommy]

Good morning everyone! Tiggerking - hope all is well!

I'm starting to get ready for our trip to WDW on Wednesday. The hotel room in Buffalo is booked (we drive from Toronto to Buffalo because the flights are SO much cheaper), WL at WDW is book, FLTours is booked, we have our MYW tickets and our Gatorland tickets. We're going grocery shopping today for some brekkie stuff to bring - we'll do a grocery stop in FL for milk etc, but I want to bring some stuff from home too. I'm making my way through mounds of laundry so everyone will have clean clothes. I personally am just hoping my capris fit!! LOL. The long-range forecast looks good for us in FL, although there is a winter storm warning up here - at least it is for today so by Tuesday all the roads and stuff should be clear for our drive to Buffalo - that is my biggest worry - a blizzard when we are supposed to fly down. So, I'm really looking forward to our trip to the world, and once it is over I will at least have the cruise to look forward to - woohoo!!
