Curses Karen! Now since post 787 I can't get the damn song out of my head "it's a world of laughter, a world of tears..........." with those little wooden children going round and round in my head!
GOT MY PASSPORTER!!! I'm gonna be a little busy for a couple hours now. I'll be back after I've read it with my trusty highlighter and post-its.
So DD had her communion pics taken today..... WOW what a dress... She looked beautiful... Wait until you see it.... Communion is a week from Saturday...
Maybe we can meet up with you there. We have an ADR at LTT for 5:50pm. I guess great minds think alike!

Melissa I had the 2007 Passporter for DCL so I didn't bother with the 2008 - you'll have to tell me if there's anything noted as "new" for 2008!!
Bueller?
I made an error when I put in the ages of my children! My DD is 9 (not 8). She was not very happy to see I entered her age wrong. (she has actually been 9 since August) I guess we can call it a senior moment!!
I goofed! Our ADR is actually at 5:10PM!!! Hope to meet up with you there!
I was thinking about taking a small suitcase with diapers and bottles of water so we'll have those things on the cruise and then have an empty suitcase to use for souvenirs on the way home.
Can we transport liquids in our suitcases onto the ship? I know that would be okay on the plane, but does the cruise ship have different rules? What about alcohol? I've read some questions that have made me think if we're taking the Disney tranport from the airport, that we can't take any alcohol on those shuttles. Is that true? Even in a box or suitcase?
...to you and you and you!
I'm packed and ready to go so I'll see you all when I get back from Barbados...
Have fun!

Ok, as weird as this sounds, I've read a few tips of how people will bring their raggedy items (underwear/socks that are functional but probably ready to be chucked out, old swimsuits, things kids are on the verge of outgrowing, etc) and then just throw them away at the end of the cruise instead of repacking them. Then they use the extra space for souvs. I imagine with sprouting little kids there are a ton of those items I know DH has some raggedy old tees he just keeps holding onto. Sounds like I should pack them for him to wear while snorkeling and then they'll be mysteriously lost
They just changed the rules to disallow checked liquids on DCL (though formula and meds are diff...I think, don't quote me).
I don't know about the Disney transport -- i.e. since they grab your luggage, how you'd handle getting booze out of your checked luggage before the porters take it at DCL and get you in trouble. Maybe leave the DCL tags off of your luggage, pick them up yourself at luggage check at the airport, transfer them into your carry-on before handing them to the driver? I dunno...completely speculative. Maybe if you ask on the main board?
Personally I won't be carrying anything myself. I'm usually all about saving money, but since it's a vacation and we don't splurge much the rest of the year, I'm happy as a clam to pay the bar/wait staff for the convenience of carrying and thinking as little as possible
Tarabra said:Dry cleaning service??? Isn't that what Downy Dewrinkler is for???? Gotta love that stuff. The first time we used it was on our last cruise and now everytime DH uses it (um...every night on his so called "wrinkle free" shirts) the wonderful smell takes me back to the ship.
We'll just stop and get our alcohol on the way to the ship.
My day has been spent dealing w/ a septic system on one of my deals. I'm a Realtor and supposedly EVERYthing was fine on this deal closing next week. Anyhow, now there seems to be problems, blah, blah, blah!!! It's always something. Seller doesn't want to pay, buyer doesn't want to pay. It better close though, since I'm counting on this sale to help pay for the trip!!!!
Ok, that's what I thought I had read. I know we can ship stuff ahead of time also, but I just don't see how that'd save us much money.
I will get better prices buying it through the military.
but I can't handle scents like this very well.
Okay, I totally know what you meant by that, but for some reason this phrase cracked me up. The United States Military, your one stop shopping for Fine Wines and Spirits.
Ick me either. And don't get me started on the smell of Febreeze or Lysol. Now if the de-wrinkler people come out with a limoney-fresh or pumpkin-pie scent we're in business!
I thought about this, but I can't handle scents like this very well. My daughter also fights terrible headaches still, even after her surgery, so having scents like that linger in the stateroom would probably not be a good idea. We have small strips of fabric softener in the baggies with the outfits I've already packed and I'm actually a little worried that those will add too much perfumey type smell.
You know what...you should contact Downy and tell them they should make it in scent free. I'm sure it is too strong for a lot of people. I called to the makers of my favorite hairspray. They changed the size of the bottle and it wouldn't fit in my medicine cabinet anymore. I used to have to pour it into a competitor's bottle. I just noticed at the store the other day, they made the bottle shorter again!!
As far as the seatbelts on the bus...I don't think they do. I know I've never seen carseats on the bus. You should see at the ports...we were on an open air bus, on naaaarrrroow roads holding DD on my lap. They also drive like nuts. I need to find out what the deal is with car seats from the rental place. I'm not lugging mine along. We have enough stuff.
You know what guys, I'm starting to think we're going to have a pretty uncrowded cruise.
Ummmmm.....so yeah, needless to say I went and confessed to DH and apologized for thinking of him as a 2-year old. Though in my defense he did say, "Well thanks, but you're probably right about all of it." But I'd still say I'm a little Disney warped.
