08 DEC 2007 - 7 Day Eastern Magic Part 4

Well since DD will be 4.5 soon, we are going to try and move her up with the 5-7 group. Looking over the activities, I can tell she will have far more fun than with the 3-4s. I know they can do it as I read a trip report where a 6.5 year old moved up to the LAB.

I was able to move my son up last year and the year before I could leave my daughter in the club when she was two because she was potty trained.

So what dining time does everyone have?

We have late so we can enjoy the pools while everyone else is getting ready for dinner.

That is very good to know. How old was your son and what did he move from to? i am just thinking she will be bored with the activities I have seen for 3-4 year olds.

First time self quoter.
I don't think that came out right. My DD will see your DD's pink hair and want pink too. She has EVERYTHING in pink. I just don't want to pay for it. I had a friend who was an expert with coloring hair blue, green, pink etc. It was really expensive at her shop.
I have always wanted bright blue hair but work wouldn't let me
Maybe one pink lanyard for my son. When he was 3 and 4 he told everyone he was Jewish. Not sure why he did this, we aren't Jewish. It did make Christmas interesting at my inlaws when he brought the subject up.

Maybe he just wanted 8 nites of presents, some chocolate gelt, and potato latkes!!

Holy moley, the spa prices are about $100 more for treatments on the ship than on shore.

I am so excited that we are almost here. In a month we will be on Castaway Cay. By now? I am not sure what time we get off the ship.

I hope we get good weather.

I have to tell you that the best teachers are quitting because they are not able to teach the children their way and can't handle the "rules" where no one is really learning anything. ........The reason why I am getting my MLS so I can work in a school library and not have deal with the pressure of teaching a child how to pass a test....

They are doing that here in NJ too. I hate it. DD was in the highest math class, but she is supposed to have extra time to take test (she has a 504), but the teacher can't give her more time, because the class is moving so fast she is going to be behind. So they moved her down a level. They all learn the same material, but not at the same speed. DH asked, well if the other class is so fast, they must be learning more material. Nope, they will be taking the extra time to do practice tests. ***. You can't meet my dd's needs with the 504 because of this stupid tests??

speaking of which, i got df a jack sparrow costume from the disney store (the one at the mall!) for 14$ (originaly 100$)

I never thought he would be out pirating me

WOW I just ordered and paid double that - guess I ordered a few days too early.

BTW where's this bargin thread?

When is the Cognac and Cigar social supposed to be?

You are probably right about being bored. My son loved the actvities once he was moved up.

If we have registered our kiddos online is there any need to go to registration at the port or can they go right to the clubs once we board?

I guess I would have to go check on the ship to see if she could move up? I remember the line for the club on RCCL was horrendous and we were at the port early.

Do you ever see Mickey Mouse in the traditional Mickey mouse outfit while on board or should we do that at WDW. Ya know the red pants, jacket and yellow tie. Not the different variations of clothing he can wear?

Maybe so, my DD(18) was really upset in preschool when she realized her best friend celebrated both holidays, I think it made for at least 9 presents. My son(7) now says he is an atheist. DD(4) says she is not because she believes in Santa Clause. Where do they get this stuff? We live in the Bible Belt.

Did you see our governor on the news yesterday on the steps of the capitol praying for rain? I am sure that will play well across the rest of the country. Something there about mixing church and state.

The fitness area does not open until 6:30AM What am I going to do without my 5AM gym time. I am very proud of my body and the work it has taken to get it this way. I guess I can walk on deck 4. Looking at the plans there really is no jogging deck is there?

Deck 4 can be used for jogging.

After our first cruise, we have never bought photos because we never go back and look at them. DH was wondering how we are going to spend all of our OBC.

 

[JoiseyMom]

You can pay your tips with your OBC.

That is true. We had a waiter on another cruise tell us he preferred when guests did their tips on account because then he had no cash that could be stolen.
