He's not given me a 100% answer...i told him he had to figure it out as soon as possible. I'm assuming he won't be able to go.

 

[fantasy31]

well i am sorry. i hope your not too disappointed if he doesn't go

 

[momto2inKC]

well i am sorry. i hope your not too disappointed

I'm looking forward to the time with the kids, it'll be a blast i'm sure. Of course we'd love it if he's able to go, but i'm sure we'll go again

 

[fantasy31]

well my friend was telling me if i wait til summer and go to wdw, she will go as well. or even cruise this summer. i will have to get some good wdw tips from you.
i wont bother you this weekend though, i know your weekends are prescious since he is gone during the week.

Good morning shipmates
I guess today my daughter and I are heading out shopping for 'cruise' stuff. I keep hearing about these over the door shoe hangers that you just *have to have on a cruise (good bathroom storage they say). I heard they are on clearance at Target so we're going to check them out.
I also thought now might be a good time to get some cruise wear since there is a ton of stuff at all the stores on clearance from last summer. I'm so not a 'dress up' kind of girl, I live in capris and t'shirts or jeans and tshirts all year. But I figured for at least the dinners I should get something a bit nicer
109 more days!!!!

Have fun shopping! I have read the same about the over the door shoe holder.

I have also read many women pack a pair of nice black pants and a few nice blouses for dinner. Makes it easy to pack and its comfy!

I have to go through everyones closets. I KNOW I have to get a new bathing suit for myself and my youngest DD. I dread that shopping trip!

Have fun shopping. I may get out and do the same thing. I love clearance racks!!
Good tip on the blk pants

Well, our trip wasn't at all productive LOL Madi did find a sundress and tube top at Old Navy (both were 1.99), some flip flops at for $3 at TJMaxx, and a halter style top at Kolhls for 2.50. I think tomorrow I may hit the mall and shop around. She told me to go to Limited Too and I should've just went ahead and went there first, i'm sure she would've loaded up on stuff!
And Target had no over the door hangers at all! Regular price or clearance.

 

[fantasy31]

Just bought plane tickets this evening. $130 round trip per person. Couldn't pass it up when I saw $54 one way tickets. Now I just need to finish paying off the cruise itself, book a room at the Hyatt and at Disney for afterwards, and decide on ground transportation. Before I know it I'll be packing to leave.

I know the Disney parks have a free ticket on your birthday. Is the Disney cruise doing anything similar? My oldest DD will be turning 13 on the Saturday we are on the cruise.

Wow! That's an awesome deal on the tickets! I'm not sure if DCL is doing anything for birthdays. My sons birthday is actually the day before we cruise, which is the day we're arriving. We're still up in the air about our plans that day. I'd love to spend it in MK, but it's rediculously expensive for 1 day tickets! Even with him getting in free it would still cost us $215.

I pretty much know that I can not keep it from my daughter (11) but I am not telling her until i pick her up from school on Wed. ( they normally go to DC after) I can keep it from DD (6) Anyone here ever stayed at a hotel that shuttles you to the parks and your car stayd there and saves that 15 a day?I am hoping I can possibly updrade at the port. What dinner seating do you guys have- I could only get second
