My son and his girlfriend both got colds and couldn't make the last dinner on Friday night, so I went by myself. But it was ok. I never got their colds, lucky me! Hated to get off the ship, but I did book another cruise while on it and we sail on 9-13-13 on the Fantasy to the Western Caribbean. I am so hooked now! LOL..... We also plan on going back to WDW for for 6 nights instead of 5 like on this past trip. So a new countdown starts up and we have 344 days to go.....I'll never last!!!! Hope your doing well and have a countdown till your next Disney vacation!!

I heard there is savings if you do. It's really sweet to ALWAYS have a countdown. I have 70 days today for my Dec WDW trip .. 8 nights and 8 days. I will go to Mickey Christmas party for the 1st time... also see the Osborne lights for the 1st time. EXCITED ! The next one will be with grandson (he will be 15 then ) but still likes hanging out with Granny. We'll going to Disneyland. I got a cold also on the boat not too bad, and a couple trips to WDW I got a cold. For me its going from warm air to AC .. and at night when temp drops cooler I didn't wear any jacket. I don't like carrying around a jacket. BUT its time to start. Welcome Back

Originally Posted By MsLindanne Thank you Disney Joy! Still going thru the withdrawls of all that Disney Magic but counting down the days to the next one. Yikes! Were back to 336. Ouch! but that's ok. I have lots to keep me busy till then. your WDW trip for Christmas time will be here before you know it. One of these days were going to try that. I've been at Disneyland during Christmas, but never WDW so I guess I am due. Bet you and your grandson will have a great time. And how sweet that he likes to hang out with you. My son, who is 28 but has special needs, still lives with me and of course loves Disney. Now his girlfriend goes with us and she too can be a bit of a challenge....but I still hold the purse strings, so that gives me some clout when they act up. LOL You have so much to look froward to don't you? Plus going to Disneyland next August. Well, its all about those wonderful memories and your sure gonna have some. Have you started packing yet for WDW? ha..ha.. Would you believe our suitcases are in our spare bedroom and some things are already in them? It's true! ha..ha..

Originally Posted By Disney Joy I missed a call from Disney Cruise line 407.566.3596 (on caller id) about 2pm yesterday. My phone sometimes gives me messages a few days later.

Has anyone ever received a call from DCL when you had no reservation ??? If so can you share why they would call ?? It is driving me nuts.... There is no promo department. A day later nothing. When I asked why would they call... the lady said "well if you won a cruise they will call you back "" WHAT What if they think I got the message. What if I won..... If someone has won a cruise how were you notified. H E L P !
Originally Posted By MsLindanne Hi Disney Joy! Seems like months since I've been on here and I think it has been! Where did the time go huh? First of all, we are now down to 204 days till Disney World and our cruise! Yahoo! Secondly, I did win a Disney cruise, I think I told you Joy, and they notified me by phone..... That was in 2012. Haven't won anything yet but lately i just don't have the time to enter contests like I was. But I will get back to it.... You asked about FE Extender gifts...well, have you seen those various looking pockets hanging by the doors on the cruise ships? By their stateroom doors? Those people that have those are in a group where they bring various little gifts and exchange them. I signed up with a group that is sailing the same time and so far there are about 35 cabins participating. So I am making some magnets, luggage tags, bookmarks, all Disney related, plus buying some things too. We will get gifts also, so we will come home with a bundle of goodies just like I am giving. I've been working on mine since last year and I probably have to much, but it is going to be so much fun. This is my first gift exchange, so it is going to be a blast.... Hope your out there somewhere and have a minute to write. I will try and be more active on this page!!!! Take care! ºoº
Originally Posted By Disney Joy Hi Ms Lindanne I have not been on here for awhile also. Thanks for the info on the gifts. No set plan yet. My my Dec trip was just the best and more. I stayed 8 nights. I plan to go back in Dec but have not booked anything yet. Mickey's Christmas party was the best. It was my 1st one. I did not do any rides on party night and there was plenty to do and more. I need to get back to the boat. Hubby and I going to Vegas this year also. So good to hear from you. Don't stay away so long ..... SMILES JOY
Originally Posted By MsLindanne Hi Joy! I am back and a little earlier this time. Glad your trip to the park in December was fun. Good for you. We need to do that sometime. And yes, you need to get back to the boat. It is waiting for you! Vegas is great fun and they use to have a Disney discount store there, but alias I think it has been closed. Sign of the times I guess. Been awhile since we've been there, but always a great visit when we go. I know you two will enjoy yourselves. Not much going on with me other than I am busy with work, making magnets for our stateroom door and this fe extender gift exchange that I have joined. It does take up a lot of hours, but fun doing it. We will be on the ship in about 200 days....less than that for WDW. I already have suitcases out too...ha..ha.. I want the time to fly by!!! Speaking of which...it is late and I am watching the tail end of the Daytona race...going to be exciting!!!! Take care! Have a good week!! Linda
