If you call Access America (800-284-8300) and talk to an agent, they'll offer you the "kids are free with a paying adult" package, aka Classic Comp., or whatever best fits your vacation situation (they'll ask for details and then will recommend one).
They base the policy price on the ages of the vacationers and also the per-person amount for the trip. We insured our flights & the cruise for the 4 of us at $144 total. ...
Ok, have to look into the insurance. $144 is not bad at all!
I went to Kohl's this morning and made a list of clothes to get for the boys. I've got a coupon to use tomorrow, so I'll go back then and get an extra 20% off!!
I see they have their 4-pc sets (shirt, tie, pants, vest) and 2-pc shirt/tie sets in stock and am wondering if maybe they will go on sale more after Easter (for formal night).
I saw that! I want to go tomorrow morning but I can't. I have swim lessons and am helping throw a baby shower. I think by the time that I am done the Early bird hours will be over and I just can't bring myself to shop AFTER things get more expensive. I have to keep an eye out though -- LOVE Kohl's!
Hi everyone,
I've just caught up after being away for a couple of days..Wow - a lot has gone on. I've been crazy busy at work. We had a Board meeting and having to be at work at 5:30am till 7:30pm has just knocked me out when I get home.
Wow that is intense. I think with this economic climate though -- you almost have to do what you have to do -- no way anyone is risking their job! I have been working a lot more lately too. I wish it meant job security but I have been around long enough to know that isn't true!
4. I'm not a poker player, but I LOVE board games. I saw on one of the Navigators that there were board games available at the Cove something (brain is addled today). I'm going to check it out and see what they have.
We love board games, card cames and have even been caught playing Mario Kart after the kids go to bed! I already told Yoni about the board games on the ship and we have plans to check it out!
Pirate night outfits - Jim has a polo shirt that I bought him at DL that has a small pirate logo. We also have some pirate do-rags. I'm still on the search. I did find some pirate themed iron on transfers at Joann online. I may just buy one of those (under $5) and make a t-shirt.
Good Idea! I still need to figure something out for us adults -- I promised the kids we would dress up and need to follow through!
I'm so sorry!!! I hope he finds something soon. That is one of my biggest worries is that I'll get laid off before the cruise. The only thing we will need to pay for is food (at WDW), rental car and suvies, but I would be worried about all the money.
Somehow I missed this post until it was quoted. I too am sorry. I work in IT and know how shaky the job market is now. My DH's job is iffy right now. The good thing is the cruise, airline tix & hotel are paid for so told him, worst case, we don't splurge on spa, excursions, etc and just go and ENJOY. I hope he finds something soon -- try not to stress. I have been the sole provider before (same situation) and I know how stressful that can be.
I think I'm going to laminate mine and then attach magnets. I just don't want to spend a lot of money on magnet paper. I also found a lot of great images on the normal DISign boards (t-shirts, etc).
Ok, that settles it, that is what I am going to do!
I've read where some cruise threads buy plastic lime green bracelets (like the Livestrong ones) so they can identify each other easily. Is anyone interested in "tagging" ourselves?)
I am ok with that if everyone else wants to. Don't think I can DH to wear one but you never know!
Hello all,
I am still here! I have been busy at work, but I JUST bought a new Macbook, and im still learning!!!! so anyone out there with one, all the pointers would be great!!
77days!!!!
I want one!!!! They are AWESOME! So does this mean you can make us all sorts of cool graphics for door magnets, t-shirts, etc now????
I was just talking to DH about the alcohol tastings onboard and I think we will do the martini tasting together. Anyone else doing that one? I would love to do the wine tasting but DH is not a wine drinker. He says that the smell alone makes him sick
. I told him that I would just go by myself but it would be great if I knew that one of you were going as well. I on the other hand absolutely hate beer so DH will be doing that one himself. Im sure he would love some companionship as well.
We are doing the wine tasting. Also both doing the tequila tasting I think. I have to pass on the martini tasting but DH might want to go (I can't drink vodka). Also, not into the beer thing either but DH will want to do that one. I think we can coordinate something? I would love the company and think DH would too!
Boardwalk area: We love to just walk around the entire area. I would go to Beaches & Cream Soda Shop at the Beach Club. That would give you a chance to see the area and it is a really nice ice cream, hamburger place, (Beaches & Cream Soda Shop at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resorts is a casual restaurant and soda fountain serving lunch, dinner and snacks. Listen to favorites on the classic jukebox while dining on sandwiches, burgers and irresistible ice cream desserts!)
Nice Dinner at the Yacht Club right beside the Swan: Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney's Yacht Club Resort is a Signature Dining dinner restaurant with a delightful nautical theme offering mouthwatering steaks, seafood, chicken and lamb dishes for the entire family amidst an open kitchen. You will NEED to make reservations there SOON.
There is a bridge between the boardwalk and the Beach Club that you can see a lot of the EPCOT fireworks.
Thanks for the food tips! I think we will eat dinner at Il Mulino? at the S/D. We get free child care when we eat there so it makes it an easy decision and the reviews on the board are good. We will definitely check out Beaches & Cream. I read about the Kitchen Sink -- oh my! That is a LOT of ice cream!
Thanks for the pie recipe. I'd love to try it, but I'll have to wait till at least next week. We baked two batches of brownies last night and I've got to bake a birthday cake tomorrow (DS turns 22) and then on Sunday I'm baking cookies for a bake sale on Monday. Am I trying to lose some weight before the cruise? Yup.. Am I doing it? NO!!!
I'm really going to have to hit the gym this weekend. I've been doing WW for a couple of years and its a great program (I've lost about 60 lbs) but I'm just having a hard time keeping my motivation. I'm going to be meeting a friend at the gym on Monday, so hopefully we can motivate each other.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

You sound like me. I did so well in January but can't keep my nose out of the girl scout cookies in February. I keep thinking -- ok, March is a new month! We do start triathalon training so maybe that will help? 60 lbs is so impressive -- it just blows me away!
Ok, weekend will be nuts but will check in again on Sunday (or sooner if I can sneak in when DH isn't watching
). Have a great weekend everyone!
