[webray]

Tonight I'm going to try and get the "stuff" packed... hopefully there's room with all the clothes I've been adding over the last few days! Stress shopping.. that's what it was... yeah.... that's my story and I'm sticking to it![/QUOTE]

Stress shopping..ugh..been doing that all morning..

 

[Hygiene99]

3 day's til we leave / 5 for the Cruise..

The countdown chain link 3 .

The Question Is ..In Disneyland, How many other attractions besides, the huanted mansion have Cemetaries ?

The Second Photo is the Disney Magazine when JENN Got published..
LOL something About Disney Dreams Summer 2004

 

[webray]

Well, I'm still waiting for the seamstress at the cleaners to finish some alterations. Still waiting for UPS to show up with yet one more "necessary" clothing item. Still haven't packed yet! I've got everything layed out and it should be fairly easy to pack it all. I'll probably start tomorrow sometime.

I ended up getting little bookmark/clips and sunglass holders for everyone at the sailaway. They take up a lot more space than I realized. Should have mailed them darn it. I doubt I'll get my act together to give them out while waiting to board or at the sail-away, so look for a couple of little trinkets in your fish extender at some point. Wiggle Eyes fish bookmark and neon sunglass strap. That would be from the Ryners

We had loads of company for Mother's Day week and our water heater went out. Not a good time to replace a 75 gallon water heater. No souveniers for this gal. Glad I got those TShirts from Zazzle and Cafe Press when I did.

We are leaving early Friday am and will be at the pool at the Port Canaveral Radisson sometime in the afternoon. Hope to see some of you there!

More than I've posted all year. So the answer to are you getting "nervous or excited". I'd say YES!

Juli

Hi Juli,

Bob and I will be at Port Canveral Radisson also..early Friday afternoon..probably hanging out by the pool. Hope the guy singing is out there...he can really get you in the mood for cruising.. not that we all aren't in the mood already!

[Hygiene99]

Hi Everyone

I hope everyone is ready to go! All packed, done shopping, got your documents!

If anyone wants to get out of the heat of Panama on May 20 and chat with the returning cruisers, we plan to be in the Special Events chat room all day to celebrate your historic event. Stop by anytime!

If you need any help getting there, e-mail me at twhipple@fastmail.fm

And maybe I'll see a few of you in California! I'll be the one on shore bouncing around

Have an Outstanding Cruise!!!​

Thank you ..

 

[WeLuvDCL]

I just found this website and started reading all the wonderful things you guys have planned for the Panama Canal cruise. We are going!!!!! I'm so-o-o-o upset I didn't find this site earlier! It sounds like you guys are going to have a lot of fun and I love the t-shirt designs. Is it too late to be a part of the festivities? Hope to meet you all on the ship!! I'm so excited I can't even concentrate on work this week!

Oh Man - I have been looking at piles of clothes in the floor since yesterday. Know where you are coming from

 

[webray]

Last minute change in plans. We're not staying at the Courtyard at the Port the night before but at the Coronado Springs Resort. YAY!! I start and end the trip with Mickey.

By the way, if you're staying at a port hotel, you may want to re-check your rates. Once that shuttle launch was scrubbed, they must have gotten a ton of cancellations. The Radisson is now available and they have online specials. The Courtyard rate went down from when I booked it.

I still have to get a towncar from the Grand Californian to the airport. Any suggestions from those of you who have these arrangements made?

From GC to LAX we have execucar by supershuttle. You can check them out at supershuttle.com, they are great, you can make a ressie and you pay in advance.

 

[lwilliam]

Stopped in on your thread here - so happy for you guys that
it is almost here. We are doing the July 30 Mexican cruise - have
awhile to wait. OK, I'm trying to think why I'm NOT glad I'M going
on the 14 day, I can only come up with, I HATE packing and packing
for a 14 day cruise would definitely be a problem for me (BUT, believe
me, if it WAS possible, I could live with it! ) - Lucy

HAVE A GREAT TIME, EVERYONE.

 

[Q's My Princess]

I just got back from yet ANOTHER shopping trip! Of course, I couldn't just buy the one thing I went into the store for! I just HAD to go down another aisle and found yet more things to pack!! Will this ever end?????

I did find Quincy some crafty things to occupy her on the two flights to MCO tomorrow! That is after Michael's comptuer battery dies from watching some Disney movie!!

Now, I am off to wax off and paint the nails!

Welcome! Better late than never! Scroll up this page a little bit and read the "Goings On" post. Most deadlines have passed, but there may be a few things you can still get your name on/sign up for. But it's never too late to be part of many of the festivities!
