We are in cabins 5020 and 5022. Look forward to getting to know everyone.

Okay, I was also on another thread. I booked back in March and this is going to warrant a call because we are suppose to be in room 5020. This is a the tread for the 3 day Cruise August 13th?

[CarolynMink]

I just check my details for the reservation on the Disney website and it does list us in 5020.

Anyway, this will be our first cruise. Traveling will be DH - Dave, DD - Erin (14 at time of cruise) & DS - Adam (age 11 at time of cruise).

I was surprised I had never received emails from the other tread. I just found this tread by simple curiosity this morning.

We still have not decided date for our land stay. DD will be starting high school as soon as we get back. I am trying to decide if we should stay right up till the day before school.

Welcome Aboard CarolynMink and crew, I did not know there was another thread, but really glad ya found us.

1st cruise huh, so feel free to ask away as there are folks her with a few under their belts.

I am heading to Columbus tomorrow for a conference.

Ken is on his arthritus ride,

Alex is working and walking

The ladies are taking care of us guys cause we need the help.

SO Good Morning Cruisers, another day closer. HEY KEN "another day closer" should be on the T shirts.

We also are not sure where we will be staying before or after, maybe a dive trip, as we are getting low on DVC points .... really.... honest

Work on the basement, did a 3 mile walk with teh pups.

Off to Lowes for basement stuff laid 300 sq feet of tile yesterday and have to grout it today also need some trim.

Later kids have fun.

Here was our weekend....








So the tileis down, Lynn will have some staining on the bookcases and cleaning up the grout residue. Best investment we made this weekend was a new set of knee pads for me (old ones were shot) and a pair for Lynn. That was a bunch of work about a total of 28 man hours, we are pooped and the Jacuzzi tub felt good.

Getting closer to being done.

[CarolynMink]

Scott & Lynn,

The room looks amazing. Also, looks like a ton of work. Looking forward to seeing the future progress.

We are having beautiful weather here in Ohio! I was up on our roof with DH cleaning up all the debris left by the storm last Sunday. (We can't complain though, we had no damage and never lost power).

The rest of the week-end was spent working on our Middle School Drama Club. We have 60 kids and they all got their roles last night for the fall production.

Now, I better get everyone going and get to work. Have a great day!

[Scott H]

Thansk, still a ton of work to do.

Leaving for Columbus Ohio this morn , Conference there.

Hi, Carolyn. Welcome. I am glad that you found this thread. I was kind of confused because there was another thread for this trip. Oh well, we are all together now.

Anyway, I apologize for the confusion about the staterooms. We actually have 5520 and 5522, Starboard side of the ship. That sure would have been interesting for Disney to try to work that out. We did not book until June, so you would have had first dibs. But glad it doesn't come down to that.

I am just back from a 4-day Disney Wonder cruise with my husband for our 1st anniversary. It was alot of fun and I am looking forward to the trip next year with my niece.

We received some pretty neat gifts from the FE exchange. Everyone's doors in our group were decorated so nice. We had an oversized FE, so the folks in cabins around us used it a marker for where there rooms were located .

Anyway, I am looking forward to see what this group comes up with.

[CarolynMink]

Brenda,

Glad to here your across the hall and not in the same room.

How old are the girls traveling in your party? My DD was 12 when I booked. I was shocked when I figured out she will be 14 when we travel. They grow up so fast.

This trip will be DD's graduation present. We were originally going to take an Alaskan Cruise with DVC points. Then they pulled it from our choices. I am excite to hear Disney has applied for a permit to go into Glacier Bay. It looks like we may be going to Alaska by the time our son graduates 8th grade.

Happy planning

[sunshine1259]

Hi, Carolyn. My niece will be 15 and the other little girl will be 13. So, 13, 14, and 15, that will be cool for them.

I hope that they do get an Alaska intinerary. That would be a lot easier for us West Coasters.

We are going to have alot of fun planning.

[Scott H]

I Agree on Alaska, would be nice, I have promised to take Lynn there. I have been there a couple of times, even "Beautiful Down Town Talketna".

Lynn , bless her heart has really been slaving away working on the floor, getting the grout cleaned up, I feel bad being here in Columbus, while she is working really really hard, I know she put in 12 hours plus, she is a trooper, and strong of heart.

Got out for a nice three mile run this morning, saw the replica of the Santa Maria,

OK Ladies if your significant other male counter part is going to be on this trip he needs to get a grass skirt to become a member of the Grass Skirt Fraternity.

Ken has been busy with his bike ride, doing well and raising lots of $$$ for artritus. You go Ken.

Good Morning Cruisers!

Welcome CarolynMink - glad you found the thread!

I was scraping grout off of tile from 7am to 4:30am this morning - with one break to go to Lowes for more sponges - we waited a little too long to clean up the tile - so it involved mass quantities of water and lots of elbow grease! I still have to rince it off again then buff it out. Then I can get back to the staining project which needs to be finished by Saturday!

Have a great day!

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Cruisers! I see that I am the first up again!!! (or at least the first on the computer )

Got some (4 hours) sleep yesterday, went shopping for some food, then down to the basement to work on floor, washing off and buffing the tile - some still needs some work, will have to get back to it today, then on to staining. Thank goodness for books on tape, they kept me intertained yesterday!

Ken - hope you are having fun on your ride!

Have a great day!

[sunshine1259]

Good Morning, Everyone.

[Lynn G]

Good Morning Cruisers!

Spent the day in the basement working yesterday - partly on floor and partly staining - today is a staining day, I am way behind due to all the time I have spent on the floor!

Beautiful day here - did get out early for a short dog walk.

Have a great day everyone!

Good Morning!!!
