It's too bad, because the money's no problem for me. And I'd love to experiment with cruising with this particular group of people (and, hmmm, maybe experiment with cruising while I'm rooming with the likes of Chernabog!)

But 2-weeks off is just too much for me to manage all at once ... and I'd regret not spending that same amount of time having the more indepth explorations of Europe and other land-based areas I've always longed for.


But, well, if he hasn't found a roomie by then ... maybe Disneyphiles Cruise Party will totally convert me!

Heh well I'll be doing the gumball rally that day -- and if I haven't found anyone to go by then, then I probably won't go at all -- the money is due at the beginning of February.

Cruises are always fun, they're like giant floating hotels (or small cities). It isn't like you're sitting on the boat ALL the time (there are stops, shore excursions, etc.). You always meet new people from all over the world on cruises. They're pretty relaxing -- and I almost NEVER take relax-type vacations, mostly gogogoGOGOGOGO vacations.

I agree though -- it is a long time to take off of work (and a long cruise... but it is nice to be able to completely escape from real life for a few weeks into a nonstressful atmosphere where you don't have to worry about anything whatsoever). I didn't go on vacation last year at all so that I could do this trip.

Plus there's always Toyko in 2009 if you want something land-based ;)

Steve.....being immersed in Disney the old fashioned way is SOOOO well worth it, and the plus is that a bunch of us LoTters will be there also....keep thinking about it...OK?

i am, i am. I hate letting Joe down, really. And I'd really like to go.

Why oh why is it TWO WHOLE WEEKS?! GAK!

Disney's is far more than that too.

For instance, the entertainment.

In comparison, imagine "Animazement" enhanced about 1000%. ;)

Not only that, but it's like old school DL magic 24/7. :)

So that way you can REALLY forget about all the stuff that is your actual life and become one with Disney Goodness. And we can throw sh*t at Adrienne when she isn't looking. :evil: You will have an amazing time. And I'd love a gay eye to ogle the boys with ;) AND I've never been on more than a weekend vacation with the Conemonkeys or the Frodophiles, but I hear they're swanky companions.

We're still not "in" for sure yet. Chris will probably NOT be able to get the time off. I don't know how I can leave Thurston for that long.

Hmmmmm well how bout you and I room up then? :evil: I mean, it isn't like we haven't seen each other's arses. Or that we aren't fabulous bitches. ;)

Give Thurston some Chris-bonding time. Or get service-dog certification for him in the next few months. He could be your little fella that carries around pills for you or something. (Hey, I've seen it happen)

Hmmm talked to Sadako this morning and she can't get the time off work after all. Awwww pooh. She would've been a fun roommate too!!!

IsM? NA? Wanna be roomies? ;)

There was a service dog on our transatlantic. They'd sometimes let him just cut loose and be a dog at times, and you should have seen him and Stitch (who got down on all fours) chasing each other through the main Atrium. Funniest character moment I've ever seen!
