Warm greetings to my fellow cruisers. My friends and I (3 couples for a total of 6 of us) booked this cruise a couple of weeks ago and we are sooo excited to be joining the fun!

My husband and I went on a 3-Day a few weeks before Christmas in 2005 and it was so cool to see the Wonder all decorated.

We went on a cruise this past February for our anniversary and got to see it decorated for Valentine's Day.

It was also Pirate Night so we had some Valentine pirates .

Does anyone have any recommendations or shore excursions to avoid on this cruise? It is our 1st Eastern. Obviously, I would never be able to catch up on meeting everyone on the thread, but I did want to drop in and say hello every now and again before we set sail.

Oh and one other question...why is October 27 not here yet?????

Good Morning Moonies! I was busy this weekend tending to things that have been neglected around the house. Some yard work, repairing our wooden fence, etc. I can't believe this is the month we cruise! WOOHOO!!!!!

I'm going to make a list at work today (who can work now, right Simon? ) of the things I need to get. I pretty much have everything from my last cruise. I bought Ethan some more sunscreen yesterday. That's really the ony purchase I've made so far.

I have some dumb questions I thought of. Y'all have probably discussed them a thousand times, but I don't remember. Here it goes:

We only have one formal night, right?

Are we trick or treating on Monday night or Halloween?

Can the kids eat in the club if they so choose?

Can we go yet?

 

[vital]

To all the new folks joining us. We are a fun bunch!

I was checking to see if I got upgraded (no such luck yet) and realized I booked on July 15, 2006. It's been a fun year but it's also gone by faster than I thought it would. Maybe because I had the "other" cruise thrown in there for good measure .

I'll check in later. Gotta wake the whelp!

It's not Kimberly Williams. I can't remember the character's name. Perhaps you'll be able to pick her off this list. Stacey Edwards maybe?

It wasn't Kimberly Williams. I just don't know the name of the actress but I've seen her on quite a few different shows.

Did you like the show? I was disappointed in the first 1/2 but I liked the ending w/ the lady in the dept store. A real tear jerker!

i did like it.......I thought it was a bit slow getting started........but i like stuff like that. I had to really think about soemthing else to not cry at the end..........i dont cry in front of Dh over TV...he makes fun of me..but if i had been alone.............WATER WORKS FER SURE!!!!!!

I am sure it was kimberly williams.....Just made up to look older.i searched for almost an hour last night to find theguest stars but coudlnt find it any where on the net..........

Do you know what you have seen her on.maybe i can at least find out who it was that way??????????????

UUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHH this is driving me crazy!!!!

UUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHH this is driving me crazy!!!!

It is "Stacy Edwards"...just google her and you'll get a picture of her. She has a long list of things she's been on. She's been on "HOUSE"..I remember that episode! there are about 3-4 actresses that look very, very similar to her.

I hope you didn't have a "large" bet on this with your husband.

Hi Everyone!



What the heck is a fish extender?

Hi and welcome aboard!

A "fish extender" looks a lot like a locker organizer. Outside of each stateroom door there is a metal fish, on a hinge, and this hangs over the fish. It's a DISBoard thing. Folks like me will have a little gift (like a secret santa kind of idea, although you can definitely put a tag on your gift to identify yourself if you wish) to tuck into the pockets of every fish extender we see!

Last year I received some neat gifts -- pirate pencils, bags of candy, little rubber duckies wearing pirate bandannas, Disney magnets, stuff like that. It was always a treat to return to our stateroom and see a little bulge and know we had a gift!

This was all new to me last year too. Here is a photograph of my poor, undecorated fish extender from my cruise last year (photo below). The red and the white rectangles of fabric are all pockets. My girlfriend and I meant to bring some Disney stickers to decorate it up, but we forgot.......

This year, I am sewing up some fish extenders and will have them on our cruise for a small price, just to cover my costs. I will have them at our group's initial get-together (Goofy Pool, about 3 pm on the day we embark). I am also in stateroom #2052 if you want to come knocking , looking for one. Just let me know with a PM or a post here if you want one. Right now I have pirate fabric and fish/underwater creatures fabric, but I hope to find some appropriate Disney fabric too

 

[tsoccer5]

welcome to everyone new!!!

Ahhh Monday is almost bearable knowing that we WILL be cruising this month!



Ahh, Fish Extender is done, door magnets are designed and ready to be printed

I have way too much clothing I want to bring and will need to weed through that....

ahhh I can almost taste my first cocktail =-)

Happy Monday!

No Babs one is still here we leave home on the 13th were just very busy SHOPPING....I HATE SHOPPING....

 

[PaDisneyCouple]

Back from NY. The last trip of the year to the Finger Lakes. The pediatric talk was interesting. As I thought might happen, they often pointed out/referred to the family that was there. Largest attendance yet: 68! Lots of nurses, a doctor or 2, us, one of my uncles. Helped Mom and Dad start to put things away at the Lake for the winter over the weekend. Got the Sunfish (a small sailboat) into the front porch before we left Sunday. Piles of mail when we got home. But the frequent airport parking card arrived.
Got some landscaping done today: pull out some dead hollies, replace with burning bushes, add spruces to the back northwest corner to help block the winter winds.
OK, now its crunch time. I see our nightly discussions centering around, "so, what did you do to prepare for the cruise today?"

Mom has cataract surgery tomorrow, think happy thoughts.

I am looking at booking a 4 night for next November 2008 while on board... (once I convince DH!)
do you think the 4 night is worth it over the 3 night? I am just thinking 3 nights won't be enough for me =-)... BUT the 3 night leaving on Thanksgiving Day actually is really great price wise! So 4 nights the first week of Nov or 3 nights Turkey Day week.... ahhh the dilemmas =-).
I am thinking of combining it with 2 or 3 days at the parks next time and am still trying for the kids to not miss more than 3 days of school

TIA!
Trish

In April of 2006, Noah and I did 5 nights in the parks, the 4 night cruise and then 3 more nights in the parks after the cruise. To me, the 3 day would be soooo short and you miss the day at sea. Even though you aren't going very fast - you miss doing fun things on the ship because you are always "somewhere" - Nassau or Castaway Cay! However, if the price was hugely different - then that would make the decision for me. I just think you would feel like getting on, running and getting off. Does that make sense?

Glad to hear NY went well! Happy thoughts, prayers and pixie dust being sent Mom's way tomorrow!

Tonight, to get ready for the cruise, I started separating laundry... NEED NOW, NEED FOR THE CRUISE and CAN WAIT piles... OH MY GOSH, when did I get so backed up on laundry???

Also, on my LIST of things to do is to find our birth certificates. I "think" I now where they are... wish me luck!
