[mickeymom923]

Anyone else going with us or do we have the ship to ourselves?:confused:

[cruisedis05]

:wave: I'm going I'm going I was wondering if anyone was going to be on this ship with me and my family. We have 8 of us going. cabin 5522 and 5524
Jenn:wave2:

[cruisedis05]

I guess we are still the only ones going. :hyper:

[mickeymom923]

Jenn,
:bounce: Glad to hear someone else is going. My children want to know if you have any teens and what part of NJ are you from. We're from Philly.:wave:
Bev

[cruisedis05]

We will be with a 11, 6, 4, 3. No teens sorry. We are from central NJ, Middlesex county.
Jenn:hyper:

[mickeymom923]

Jenn,

Have you been on Disney before. If not, you'll love it and your children will have a fantastic time. I did Disney last year, this past August and booked for 8/28/05 while on board. Not trying to rush my life away, but can't wait to do Disney again.

Bev
:hyper:

[cruisedis05]

Out of the 8 of us going 4 of us have gone before. I went on my honeymoon on a dis cruise, just 4 nites. Then 2 years ago grandma (my mom) surprised us with the 7 day in a cat 3. Now that was FUN.
Jenn

[mickeymom923]

Now I'm jealous. I would love to do a 7 day cruise on Disney. Hopefully someday I will. Doing Voyager of the Seas this December but I love Disney. :earsboy:

[cepmom]

We're going too!!!:tongue: My name is Jennifer and I'll be traveling with DH, Billy and our 3 DD ages 5, 8 and 15 (then). This will be our first cruise. I'm so happy to see this thread!

I have to say, based on this summer's hurricane activity, I am freaking out a little bit about next year!! Hopefully it will be better next summer! I would hate to miss CC, but if we do we'll try to make the best of it - I know it's always the risk you take cruising during hurricane season.

We'll be spending several days at Universal and WDW before the cruise too.

[cruisedis05]

cepmom,

Good to see someone else will be on the ship with us. We to will be at WDW before hand (5 nights) with 2 more people. So at WDW my group is 10 on the cruise we have 8 and it may even get bigger. Can't wait, already trying to design my door signs.
Jenn:Pinkbounc :bounce:

[mickeymom923]

cepmom,
Welcome aboard. I'm going with my DS age 19, DD age 17 and my mom 87. We've done cruises in August for the past 9 years and never ran into a hurricane. The last cruise (8/19/04) that we did was right after Charley and before Frances. Guess we lucked out. We will also be spending the week before the cruise at WDW.:Pinkbounc Hopefully more people will join us.:)

[cepmom]

mickeymom923 -

how do your teens like the teen club? My DD15 thinks there will be nothing to do that interests her (it was her idea to cruise in the 1st place :rolleyes: ) She is a little shy and reserved until she gets familiar. I think the other two will be fine in the kids clubs - I just hope DD15 will be able to have fun despite her pessimistic attitude!

Where are you all staying before the cruise? I still haven't decided where to stay at WDW; I am pretty sure we'll be staying on site at Universal for 1 night in order to get the front of the line access. Last time we stayed at WL, but now with 5 of us, there are less options.

cruisedis05 -

sounds like a lot of fun traveling with so many other people! I have been trying to convince my Mom to come to WDW and bring my niece and nephew, but so far no luck. Nobody else in my family is a Disney freak like me, so I know they would never even consider staying on site (prices too high for them) or going on a Disney cruise (why pay so much when you can go Royal Carribean for less?) They just don't understand!!!!

[mickeymom923]

My teens loved the teen club but most of all the Disney Cruise. My son who is 18 wanted to go on this last cruise for his HS graduation instead of going on a 7 day Carnival cruise. My son mostly played basketball and hung out with other teens. My daughter who will be 17 on 9/26 also loved the teen club and just being on this cruise. She is also initially very shy and I forced her to go to the teen club the first night. She met a very nice boy there and they hung out together after dinner every night. They still IM each other and she had a great time. She enjoyed going to all the shows each night and she enjoyed seeing all the Princess characters. I am the biggest kid of all and loved the food, the shows, the characters, being with my family and doing the Disney Cruise. cepmom, if your daughter has any questions, she can email my daughter Lindsay at Lilgchottie926@aol.com

I own a timeshare so I will exchange and stay in Lake Buena Vista the week before.

[mickeymom923]

Okay, there's about 18 of us going so far. I'm sure there's got to be others going with us. Come on, join this group. 4 day Wonder 8/28/05.

[cruisedis05]

:wave2: Anyone??? Anyone???:crazy2: :crazy2:

[cruisedis05]

We have the ship all to ourselves!!!! :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:
Anyone else with us???

[mickeymom923]

I just booked the Magic for 8/19/06. Debating whether to cancel the one in 05 or do both.

[mickeymom923]

Sorry to say that I transferred my '8/28/05 reservation to the special Western sailing on the Magic for 8/19/06 so I won't be going with you. I always wanted to do the 7 day Disney cruise and this one goes to Castaway Cay twice. I'm really excited and it gives me an extra year to save. Hope you have a great cruise and maybe you might want to join us in 06.

Bev

[cruisedis05]

Ok This is just crazy! Is no one else is on this trip? :confused:

[cruisedis05]

bump--

[kaceyisme]

I'm very happy to say that my family will be on this cruise! It will be me, my husband and our 12 year old son. My mother-in-law is possibly joining us too! We can't wait, as it's our first cruise!

[cruisedis05]

:cool1: WELCOME :cool1: Finally someone else :wave2:

Jenn

[kaceyisme]

:cool1: WELCOME :cool1: Finally someone else :wave2:

Jenn


So it looks like its just us! My son is a bit nervous about not knowing anyone. Is your 11 year old a boy or girl? By the way, I see you are from Jersey. We're from NY.

[cruisedis05]

My 11 yr old is a girl. We will have a 3 & 4yr old girls a 6 1/2 yr old boy and 11 yr old girl going. Are you guys going to the park before?

Jenn

[kaceyisme]

My son will be 12 (and 10 months) by the time we go. We will be going to the parks before, and staying at the Poly. Are you going to the parks before or after? It would be great to meet if you are in the parks before the cruise. I'm sure the kids would like to know someone else before the cruise.

[cruisedis05]

We will be going to the parks before. We are getting to WDW on Tues 8/23 and we are staying at the PO. We are doing the Mickey Backyard BBQ on Thurs.night so we wanted to get in a few days early.

[kaceyisme]

I still can't believe that no one else is on this cruise!!

[cruisedis05]

:confused: :confused: anyone??? :confused3

[snoopyandpooh]

Count us in too! :boat: It is going to be me, my DM and my DD. This is our first cruise, we will being going to WDW, Universial and Seaworld too!

[kaceyisme]

:grouphug:Yay! Glad that you are joining our small cruise snoopyandpooh!:grouphug:

How old is your DD? Are you going to be at Disney World before the cruise? We will be arriving at the Poly on 8/22.

[snoopyandpooh]

DD is 17, this will be her going away to university cruise, we are also celerbrating DM's birthday. We plan to arrive one week ahead, since we are DVC members, we will stay at Old Key West and spend some time visiting the parks and shopping malls (more important for DD). :cool1:

[cruisedis05]

:cool1: WELCOME :cheer2: Someone else on our cruise!! I thought kaceyisme and I were going to be the only family on this cruise.
:rockband:

Jenn

[cruisedis05]

:rolleyes1

[cepmom]

OMG - I must be losing my mind! :confused3 I searched high and low for this thread the other day and couldn't find it so I started a new one. I figured it must have gotten lost or deleted or something. So now there are two 8/28/05 threads going! Unfortunatly, the other one has even less people than this one!!

[Pengy]

Add us too! Me, DW, and DDs 11 and 6.

Pengy

[kaceyisme]

Welcome cepmom and Pengy! Glad to see more people on this cruise! It's going to be great!

cepmom - I see that you are going to the Poly too! When do you arrive there? We'll be there on the 22nd through the day of the cruise.

[cepmom]

we'll be arriving on the 24th! I am so excited about staying at the Poly...we were originally booked at POR, but thanks to DH's crazy uncle's very generous Xmas gift, we decided to upgrade and are now booked at Poly!! :banana:

Do you have just the one DS going with you? My DD15 is looking to "meet" some other teens beforehand so she can hang out with someone on the ship.

[kaceyisme]

cepmom - Yes, my DS is my only one. He also would love to meet up with someone prior to the cruise so that he will "know" someone to hang out with. He will be two months shy of his 13th birthday when we cruise. Maybe we can arrange to meet anyway at the Poly prior to the cruise so that we all "know someone" :earsboy:

[Pengy]

Hi everyone! We're staying at the Polynesian as well; we may be down a day early (8/23) to see my uncle in Ormond Beach, but we'll definitely be at WDW Wednesday (8/24). Hope to see you all then!!

Pengy, Jen, Samantha & Maeghan

[cepmom]

How funny that we're all staying at Poly before the cruise! We'll definately have to meet up there. Have any of you ever stayed at Polynesian before? My kids convinced me to stay there - I wanted Beach Club, but now I am so excited to stay at Poly. Are all of you renting cars to get to the port?

[Pengy]

We've stayed at the Polynesian 3 times (Jen and I in 2001; all 4 of us 2002, when it rained like 8 of 9 days :umbrella: ; and Jen and I before our first cruise in 2004). All of our prior visits were in November / December, so August will be a new experience! It's definitely a great resort!

We're unsure about transportatin from the resort to port at this point, but we'll probably rent a car and return it at Canaveral. We did the Disney Transportation in November and it was nice, but you really lose a lot of the first day on the ship (I think we boarded around 2:00 or 2:30).

We have stayed at the Poly once. We usually stay at the Contemporary, but it's our anniversary so we wanted something a little more romantic (as if it could be with our 12 DS along, lol).

So, we definitely have to arrange to meet, since there are a bunch of us! How fun!!

And check it out - we're under the 200 day mark!! :earseek:

[DonaldsGrl103]

My Cousin and I are going on this cruise to celebrate our graduations from college. Its Our FIRST DISNEY CRUISE and our first cruise ever :cheer2:
We are so excited :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc

Welcome DonaldsGrl103!!

Glad we have more people on this cruise!

:banana:
Hey, we are going to. There will be me my DH, DD who will be 5 and DD who will be 9. It is my youngest's first cruise. We are going down 3 days early and staying at Ron Jon's Resort in Coco Beach. We got a really good deal for touring the resort for 90 minutes and couldn't pass it up. I dont think that we are doing the parks this year, looking at Space Center and beach and so forth instead. Have been to Nassau twice. Really liked the first time and kinda of scared of just this January so dont think will take kids very far into port. Will probably just walk a little downtown, if that. ReaLLY looking forward to Castaway Cay, was just in Half Moon Cay with Holland and it was to die for. We booked a Cat 12 but are an automatic guarantee to higher category because we have 4 people so dont know where we will end up on the ship. We were docked next to Wonder in Nassau and kids onboard looked like they were having a blast!
We are from Pittsburgh PA :cheer2:

[cepmom]

:boat:
anyone else going with us??????

[Pinklet10]

We will be traveling on this one with DH, DS 13, DD 11, and DD 6. We can't wait!!!! The kids are nervous about using the youth programs without knowing other people. Hopefully they will warm up quickly.

[kaceyisme]

Pinklet - my son will be almost 13 when we sail, so he will still be in the Lab, not the Teen Club. I have been hoping to find a boy of similar age as he is (he will be 12 and 10 months when we sail). He is also nervous about being in the club without knowing anyone. Are you staying at WDW prior to the cruise?

[cruisedis05]

Hi, my DD is 11. She's done the club before and loves it but maybe we can get them together to meet before.

[kaceyisme]

Add another welcome ewt715! We're getting a small but very select group, it seems! :cool1:

[2BoysMom]

Hi
My husband is taking me on a cruise to celebrate my 40th birthday in August. It will be me, DH, twin baby boys (1), our aupair, my brother, his DW, DD (6) and DS (8). I haven't booked yet, b/c we are trying to decide between this cruise (I just found some decent rates) or a 5 day on Carnival out of Miami.

DH and I really want to do a Disney cruise, but the idea of driving 4 hours from Miami there and back, makes me hesitate a bit, as does the lower type of stateroom. However, the idea that Carnival may be too crowded, wild or tacky (no offense meant) makes me hesitate over that.

What is everyone's opinion? :confused3

[kaceyisme]

:cheer2: It's been a while since anyone posted in this thread, so I thought I would bump it up. Let's start talking about having a DIS meet on the ship! It would be great for us (very few it seems) to get together and say hi! Anybody have suggestions about a time and place? Since this is our first cruise, I can't really make any suggestions, but it would be great to arrange something. Anyone else up for this? :cheer2:

[2BoysMom]

Well, we are going now and have had a bit of luck getting 2 balcony rooms at a wonderful price through *************.com. It's now my DH and twin sons (1), my brother, SIL and their kids (6 & 8), my sister and mother. It should be a wonderful trip. We are even spending a few days at WDW before the cruise. We will be staying at POR. It's turning into a very nice little vacation!

I'd be happy to meet others as well, but I've never cruised with Disney before, so I don't have any suggestions either. One thing I did do (after getting the idea from this board), was to get magnetic frames for our room doors. They have different Disney characters on them, and the one for my door is in lime green! I ordered it from someone (very inexpensively) off of eBay.

I can't wait!

[cruisedis05]

Just checking in. :wave2: For a cruise that is less than 3 months away no one is going. I've been on the cruise twice before. When we went last time some people met the first afternoon. Late afternoon around 4pm I think. And if I remember right we met outside the ESPN bar ( I think it's called something different now) on the top deck. And everyone had something lime green on or with them so we knew who to look for. Hope this helps, let me know if someone is going to set something up.
I can't wait!!!! :banana: :banana:

[deeron51]

Hello Cruisedis05,

We are cruising on 8/28 too!!! I am sooo happy I FINALLY found this post!! My husband, 10 year-old daughter and I are also from Middlesex County!! This will be our first cruise. We will also be travelling with another family - our friends from Monmouth County. They are a family of four - two daughters aged 10 and 6.

:cheer2:

[kaceyisme]

Hi deeron51! Glad to see two more families joining the cruise!

That is so cool!!! :cool1: My DD has done the club before and she is good with meeting others but I think it would be nice for them to meet as soon as we get on. We live in Monroe and the others going live in Toms River. Are you doing the parks too?

[deeron51]

We're actually neighbors - we live in Spotswood!!! No, we decided not to do the parks. We're actually trying something different. We are going to spend 4 nights at Club Med Sandpiper first and then do the cruise.

Today's the day when we can make our excursion, palo ressie's etc !!! It finally feels like it's getting closer! :cool1:

I would love to have a meet onboard...first cruise for us too so I have no idea where and when would be good. Anybody have any suggestions?

[cruisedis05]

Ok I'm think of this; please let me know if someone else has something.

Boat drill is at 4pm, everything is closed until 4:30pm so I think we should meet at about 5pm deck 10 midship starboard side. I looked at other post from other sailing dates and this is what afew are doing. I do think we should all have something the same. Like a colored ribbon on something so we can id us. I also wanted to know if anyone has gotten anything for pirats night. Because I was going to get stuff online but it comes in bulk so I thought we could split it if anyone wants to.
Please let me know about everything.

I made a ressie for Palo for brunch, and I registered my son for the Lab. Since it's our first cruise too, I really don't know where we should meet, but I'm going to start looking at other cruise meet threads to get some ideas.

That sounds like a good idea. We could meet for the sailaway party. Some lime green ribbons or mickey heads from Home Depot would be a good way to go.

What website were you looking at for the pirate stuff? Oriental Trading? Let me know what you're thinking of, and I'll check out the site too.

[Pengy]

We thought the new online booking option was neat.......we have both kids set up, and made Palo brunch reservations, plus we won't have to run around when we first get on board. The time's drawing near! :cool1:

I looked at some other post and some said that meeting during the party may be hard. Some meet at about 3pm before all the noise and party. So that sounded good to me. So someone let me know if 3pm is better and if this is what everyone wants. I am also going to order pirate stuff from Oriental Trading. I plan on ordering swords that come with an eye patch, pirate bandanas , tatoos and clip on earrings. pirate:

Just wanted to see my timer. How much longer? :banana:

[kaceyisme]

Ok - since we are getting soooo close (yay), we should solidify where we are meeting, and make a list of who is going to be there, etc. I know it is 3:00, but exactly where are we meeting, and how are we going to identify eachother? Let's start a list!

1. kaceyisme - 42, with my DH 45, and DS 12 - we're in Cabin 7620

[cruisedis05]

Others have done 3pm, deck 10 midship starboard side. They say thats a good time and place. Last time I went everyone had some thing with the lime green color. A mickey head paint chip from Home Depot or a streamer or string.
so here is my list.
cruisedis05-30 DH30 DD11 DD4 plus our friends:wife28 husband28 DD3 DS6 we are in rooms 5522 & 5524

[muskokaV]

Hi, we are so excited about going on our first cruise. We are starting off in WDW on the 25th, setting sail with you guys on the 28th and then heading back to WDW on the 1st. We are from Ontario, Canada, so we will be pulling back in the driveway hours before school starts!

My DD is 11 and my DS is 9.

I am new to this chat thing, so you will have to excuse any mistakes I make!

[DonnaDisney]

We'll be there too!! I'm so exicted it's our first Disney cruise for everybody in our group(35). We are arriving on the Aug 25th, staying at Sunset Lakes pool home, going one day to MGM/MK, Universal and then on the 28th we are off to set sail on the Wonder!!! We have the early seating.

DonnaDisney37, DNiece21, DS11, DD6 + family & friends.

[kaceyisme]

Welcome muskokaV and DonnaDisney!! Glad to see more people joining the cruise!!

I hope that you all will join us at 3:00 on Deck 10 (see above for details) on the day we board!! :cool1:

[DonnaDisney]

Thanks! We will be there.

[muskokaV]

I was just looking through another area of these chats and someone wrote in that they have changed the dresscodes for dinners on Wonder. They said that it is all casual now and you don't need to dress up.

I was just wondering if any of you have heard about this, 'cause man, will packing for my 9 year old son be easier if I don't have to worry about his "attire" quite as much. It seems that it costs just about as much to prepare to go on the cruise as does go on the cruise itself! I would much rather spend money on Disney t-shirts than a dress shirt that he is never going to wear again.

I'm planning on dressing "casual" for all of the dinners. My husband and son will wear "Dockers" type pants with polo style shirts or "hawaiian" style shirts. I'm going to wear casual skirts or capris. I wouldn't worry too much about dressing up.

Same here. I've been on 2 other DIS cruises and you would be surprised at what people wear in the dining room. :sad2:

We'll be casual but comfy!!

Can you believe how close we are getting to the cruise?? I can't wait to meet everyone! It's nice that we are getting more people now that we're in the home stretch.

[muskokaV]

Hi all,

We are one day closer, now! I was just wondering if some of you veteren cruisers with children could advise me on motion sickness. My 11 and 9 year old have never been prone to it on any other form of transportation, but we have never cruised before. I looked into the seabands and they are very expensive. Do you use these, or bring "just incase" medication, or do I even have to worry about it? I have heard that the Disney ships are exteemly smooth.

What do you think?
Thanks

On our last cruise my DD was 9 and DD was 1. We never had a problem. My older DD was on a cruise when she was 4 and never had a problem then either. I do think we had some just incase. But I think I read some place on these lovely boards :love: that they have it at the door of the medical area on board.

[Worfiedoodles]

Is it too late to join the thread?! Believe it or not, it just occurred to me to look for a group thread, and I booked this cruise in January 2004! But I just joined the DIS in May... :goodvibes

My dh and I have cruised RCCL twice before, but this is the first cruise for our DS7. We are getting so excited! I just filled in my August calendar, and we put Disney stickers on all the days of our vacation.

I already have Mickey paint heads in just about every color...

I've booked our Palo, rasul and parasailing (dh only!) reservations. We did online registration for the kids' club. I'm gathering everything I can think of in a bin. I'm probably going to forget something, but I don't care. I just want to go! :Pinkbounc

[kaceyisme]

Is it too late to join the thread?!

It's not too late because the ship hasn't sailed yet :)

It's great that you found us! If you read through the thread, you'll see that we have a meet scheduled for the day we board at 3:00. Hope to see you and your family!

Now the wait for documents begins! We got our transfer docs for the night before our land 'n sea today, so hopefully we'll be doing the big dance soon!!

Pengy

[Worfiedoodles]

My Magic Express package (we added a night before our land/sea so we need separate transportation) came today! I have never been so excited to see luggage tags :rotfl2:

I am so ready for more :jumping1:

[kaceyisme]

Whenever anybody gets their docs, please post right away! I can't believe how anxious I am to get them! We received our hotel docs last week, so I'm hopeful about the cruise docs!

Who will get their docs first ? ? ? :hyper2:

[cruisedis05]

:rolleyes1 :rolleyes1 :wave:

[muskokaV]

I just got off the phone with Guest Services, and she told me our tickets and stuff were being processed today. She said they would be in the mail tomorrow, so being from Ontario, Canada, we should get them next week. I can't wait.

3 weeks today we will be starting our Land/Sea in WDW.

Oh, by the way, I also asked her about this new "Casual Cruise" dresscode. She assured me that my 9 year old son would be just fine in nice shorts and a polo style shirt for the dinning rooms. Just incase that helps anyone else out.

I also asked her about the hurricane situation. She said unless the port that we depart at is calling for horrid weather, the cruise is a go. She said to go with an open mind incase the ports get changed, but they do all they can to set sail as planned.

[kaceyisme]

This is encouraging!! Maybe some docs are in our future . . .

[cruisedis05]

I WANT MY DOCS!!!! :badpc: :crazy: :scared1: :eek: :mad:
Ok I'm better now.:drinking1

Ok - how crazy are we???? Our lives are consumed by this trip!! Here I am - sitting here at 10:15 PM (with a terrible cold and feeling rather sick :sick: )

But all I can think about is -- those DOCS!!!

[cruisedis05]

I called yesterday and was told the docs were processed on 8/4 and would receive them next week.

:crazy: OK people when next week!!! Do I not leave my house all week?! I can't handle the pressure!



So has anyone thought of packing yet? :goodvibes

[muskokaV]

Hey everyone...

I just got my DOCs!

I can't believe it because I called yesterday and I was told I would get them next week.

And here they are. UPS (the guys who wear brown) just dropped mine off and it is 4:30pm.

Time to start packing....

my documents came today!!! I haven't even opened them to see what's there yet....I had to come on here right away and post!!!

[cepmom]

ok...I just opened the package and I only got half of them. We have two rooms booked and I only got the documents for myself and DD15. Hopefully the others will come soon too!!!

[cruisedis05]

Someone does not like me. I just called my TA and she is on vacation. Hello--- doesn't she know my docs are due in. Who in the heck is she to go on vacation now. :sad1:

[cepmom]

I'm sure they will be to you very soon.
Although we got half our docs today, I am also booked on a 3 night cruise next year that I just found out today (on the DIS) is not going to happen....I have yet to hear from my TA though :sad2:

[kaceyisme]

I'm happy for you guys, but I haven't gotten my docs and I'm feeling rather :sad2: about it.

Hopefully, I'll join in the fun next week!!

[Pengy]

No cruise docs here yet.........but congrats to those who did get them!

Keeping our fingers crossed that everyone else will get theirs Monday!!

Help!!!

Are any of you Canadian Cruisers?

I was just looking around these threads and someone has posted that Canadians absolutely have to have passports to board the ship.

I have talked to Disney about this many times and they have assured me that Photo ID and Birth Certificates are all I need (they are all we have).

This other thread says that it is up to the traveller to have all their ID in order and not Disney's responisbility to ensure the traveller has the right stuff.

We are leaving for Florida in 18 days. I have my cruise tickets, and I do not have enough time to get a passport now for the 4 of us.

Stressed??? Me?? Help!!!

I cannot believe this.

[kaceyisme]

muskokaV, I feel so terrible for you! I would call Disney immediately! I don't know how things work in Canada, but in the US there are last minute places to obtain a passport.

I'm sorry that I don't have an answer for you, but I wish you all of the best luck and I'm looking forward to meeting you on the ship.

I don't have an answer for you either, but keep thinking happy disney thoughts and it will all work out. I too would call Disney NOW. Let us know how you are doing. :wizard:

[muskokaV]

Thanks for your support, guys.

I have called DCL, and they have assured me that the ID we have is all we need. DH and I also combed throught the booklet we got with our doc's and we both have come to the conclusion that it is either passport or photo ID, birth cert.

And to top it off, I just got back from the dentist office (still frozen as I am writing to you), and he just went on the 4 day Wonder cruise with his family in March, and he told me no one in his party had passports, they had no problems bringing the exact same ID we are using.

Whew.

I feel so much better. Now I can pack! :cheer2:

[cruisedis05]

Anyone else get docs. Still have not gotten mine. :confused3
I can't wait any longer!!!

[snoopyandpooh]

No DOCs yet, since we are leaving next Wednesday, our TA asked DCL to send our DOCs to our Disney resort instead. :Pinkbounc

Called Disney and they said they would be delivered today. They gave me the tracking # and they have been delivered to my TA. Just waiting for the call. :cheer2:

UPDATE-
I called to see if the were in and just got the call back that they are!!! Going to pick them up. Anyone else?

Woooooooo-hooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! Hope everyone has theirs soon too!!

[cepmom]

finally got our other set of docs!! Now everytime I look at the clock, I tell the kids "2 weeks from today we will be flying to Disney" or "2 weeks from today we will be in line for Splash Mountain" etc. They think I'm nuts :crazy2:

Anyon'e kids going to the Lab?? All of a sudden (in the last couple of months) DD8 has been having anxiety about going places when she doesn't know anyone. (was afraid to go to camp, swimming, gymnastics etc because she didn't know the kids in her group) She literally can't walk over and join the group without my being right on her side. Now that she has turned 8, she will be in another age group than her sister (DD5) and she is stressing about being in the Lab and DD5 being in the Club. I though that maybe if she met some other kids her age at the meet, she would feel a little better. Otherwise, I might have to see if Disney will let me put her in the Club with DD5.

I do the same thing -- Every day my ds7 asks how many days, and we are counting them down! This morning as I was walking around my office, I was thinking in 2 weeks I'll be riding Space Mountain. Woohoo! :cloud9:

I'm sorry my ds will be in the Club with your little one instead of the Lab with your older child... but he will be very excited to meet her, as an only he's always looking to make new friends.

haven't started packing yet ~ still wearing most everything we need to bring!!!
I have a Rubbermaid tote in the closet upstairs filled with junk I am bringing and none of it is clothes either!!

I borrowed my Mom's luggage and it's upstairs waiting to be filled....I am a notorious overpacker so I figured if I don't start too soon, I won't get carried away!!

[muskokaV]

Hi Guys,
Well, I wouldn't say that I am packed, but I have written down everything (and I mean everything) on a gazillion lists. I did a wack of ironing last night and instructed the children not to wear any of those clothes again, until we are away! I am so obsessed with this trip, I have left next week completely open, so I can concentrate fully on getting ready.
My DS is 8 and my DD is 11. They are going to be in separate groups for the lab, and I don't know how they are going to do with that. They are very excited, but I know they would rather be together. I am not expecting them to spend much time in the labs, I am anxious to spend time as a family, anyway. We'll see...

I have a DD 11. She has done this stuff before. We should make sure they meet. Jessica, my DD, would also like to meet some kids before hand. As for your DS I don't have anyone traveling with us in that age group. But I'm sure he'll meet someone and have fun.

I know -- isn't it so hard to plan this trip when we are all wearing everything we need to bring with us! We need to pack for 11 days, and I don't want to do any laundry on the trip, so we really need to pack everything!! It's good to know that we are all in this together - the insanity!! It brings a smile to my face reading everyone's posts about how obsessed they are, etc. about this trip! I am exactly the same way - I can't think about anything else! Next week at work will be unbearable!!

[snoopyandpooh]

I made a list, but haven't started packing yet. I made the mistake of putting snacks on the list twice, my DD caught it and she was laughing at me!

I still have a ton of things to do before leaving next Wednesday (driving 24 hrs from Toronto), top on the list is laundry, than it is mowing the lawn, buying all the snacks we need for the long drive, pre-celebrate my DM's birthday with the rest of the family (her real birthday will be when we are on the cruise), looks like the last thing to do is to pack our luggage and triple check to make sure we have all the travel documents. :Pinkbounc

[cruisedis05]

In a previous post I stated I have extra pirate pirate: stuff if anyone wanted to buy. But I was told I'm not allowed to sell anything on here. So I'm just going to give it to anyone who wants. I know kaceyisme wanted a set ( sword, patch, tattoo,earring, & bandana) So I have 7 sets left if anyone wants. Just let me know. :wave:

[Pengy]

We've started packing some things that we won't need between now and the trip, and figuring out what clothes we can set aside now for the trip. And things like camera, camcorder, beach towel for each, etc.

Maybe we'll turn the trip into a "relocation research" excursion too, perhaps Mickey's hiring!! ::MickeyMo

Since this is my first Disney cruise, could someone explain, Pirates Night for me. I have my docs, starting to pack, we are bringing four suit cases, two for the cruise and two for are post cruise stay at Disney. I am flying in a day early, staying at the Hampton Inn. The Hampton Inn will store the suitcases for a few days, so we will only have to bring two onboard.

Looking foward to meeting everone. Does anyone have the second seating for dinner.

It's our first cruise too! Pirate night starts out at dinner where there is a themed menu. The servers are dressed in pirate costume as well, and they give out bandanas, etc. for us to wear. Some people get dressed up as well. The evening continues after dinner on deck, where they will have a Pirate themed deck party, and a late evening dessert buffet.

We have early seating for dinner, but I understand that the deck party starts after the late seating dinner ends.

Hope this helps!

Hey, SnoopyandPooh,

You are from Markham? We are from London. Are you leaving on Wednesday the 24th? That is the day we are leaving. Are you driving straight through? We are, it takes us 22 hours on the I-75. We leave here late afternoon and arrive in time for dinner at WDW the next day. Are you doing Land/Sea?
I was trying to figure out how to do this privately, sorry to bunk up everyone elses's message board.
By the way, is anyone else going to spontaneuosly combust from the excitement????

Got my nails done today, so that means it's getting close!! My daughter wakes up every day now and wants to know if today is the day.

[deeron51]

I know what you mean! We started playing the "one week from now we will be" game. We leave one week from today for our 4 night Club Med stay. BTW, do you get your nails done locally in Monroe???

Yes, I get them done at, I think, Tippy Toes. On Spotwood/Englishtown Rd. I only get them done when I'm going some place special. And I believe this is special!!

I'm putting stuff together and I so feel like I'm forgetting something. I hate when that happens. I sit in the car before we leave wondering "What did I forget"

Ok so don't forget.

I can't believe we leave for our trip in 5 days, really, almost 4 now! Hey, have any of you looked for or found chewable dramamine? I'd love to find something like that for my ds, just in case. The local pharmacy was a bust...just wondering if they make it.

I cut out my lime green Mickeys tonight. I haven't decided what I'm going to write on them yet. Also thinking about doing a door sign, but probably won't get to it at this point. I always have lots of plans, but I never get to everything on my list! We'll see how tomorrow goes...

Just got back today from WDW my other grandson 7, spent a few days at water parks and MGM. This trip was due to lousy weather we had in April. Great new stunt show at MGM, be sure to see it.

Speaking of packing, on rccl i would bring a sports jacket or two. From what i have read I think i will leave the sport jacket in the closet. Am I making a mistake.

Hope all is well, have a safe and fun trip.

I would leave the sports jacket at home. My husband is wearing khaki's and collared polo shirts for dinner every night, and my DS12 is wearing "hawaiian style" shirts with khaki's.

I just wanted to say goodbye and see you soon to everyone! We are leaving in the morning for the WDW portion of our trip! I actually am all packed and ready to go. We went to Target this afternoon and bought a scale to weigh all of our suitcases. They are so strict about the weight requirements these days on the airlines, and I was sooo worried about being overweight on the bags. Luckily, we came in under the 50 lb. limit for each bag (just barely :rotfl: ).

I can't wait to meet all of you!! See you next Sunday at our 3:00 Dis meet :Pinkbounc

Just looked-up reservation on-line and found out that we've been moved to main (early) dinner seating! We've been on the wait-list since we originally booked the cruise. Even tho' our documents came with late seating, happy to see that we won't have to scramble when we get on the ship to have it changed.

I can't believe we leave for our trip in 5 days, really, almost 4 now! Hey, have any of you looked for or found chewable dramamine? I'd love to find something like that for my ds, just in case. The local pharmacy was a bust...just wondering if they make it.

hey there ~ I found chewable Dramamine last night at Walgreens. I bought a box for the younger girls (5 and 8) just in case they need it. I always get Bonine for myself (non-drowsy). My pediatrician told me not to give Bonine (meclizine) to the girls ~ just the regular Dramamine. I'm actually going to give them some today just to make sure it doesn't have any adverse side effects.

I will definitely look at our local Walgreen's! Thanks for the tip :goodvibes

We had such a great time! I hope you did too! I can't wait to do it all again.

hey guys!! It was so nice to meet all of you!! We had a great time....I am dying to get back there! Just got some prices today for another 4 night for the same week next year...maybe this time without kids for our 10th anniversary!!

Anyone book their next cruise while onboard??

We probably won't go again as a whole family until 2007 (7 night!!)so I never even looked into it while onboard.
