I just got back from the Pediatrician with DD4 and DS1,
both have ear infections. I need to get them healthy before the cruise. I've read that they can deny boarding if you show signs of being ill. Luckily, I have plenty of time to get them better and finish their antibiotics before we board.
We went to a birthday party this past Sunday. They
ALWAYS get sick after we attend a birthday party. Go figure.
Meeting after dinner the first night would be great for us. We are scheduled for early seating. Anyone else? Maybe, the kids could meet and then we could send them off to have fun in the kid area? By then, we will need some adult time and conversation (all week with the kids at WDW and in the car from TX).
We'll just need to make a reservation for DS1 in Flounder's once onboard.
We have already booked our max 10 hours online.
We plan to see the Santa Clause 3 while onboard.
Any one else? We liked the first one very much, but were disappointed with the second one. This third one looks outrageous, but we like "any" Christmas movie. It is our favorite time of year.
I am off to pick-up DD4 and DS1 prescription at Walgreen's before getting DS6 at school. This site is addictive!!!! I check it everytime I log on, which seems to be at least once a day!
FYI - I read somewhere on another thread that Customer Service ran out of motion sickness medicine on their cruise. Don't forget your Dramamine! If you do, we'll have some. I called our Pediatrician and it IS okay to give to children, in case you wondered. 
We've never cruised before, so I don't know how the boat will affect my family. I am packing a little medical kit (band-aids, antibacterial cream, Children's, Infant's and Adult Tylenol, Benadryl, Dramamine & Meclizine). 
Anything else you can think of would be greatly appreciated. I understand the store onboard is a little pricey. So, I want to be prepared. 
I am getting very excited!!!
Out of curiousity, I checked 
I haven't heard about a DIS meet onboard. If interested, you could always start one. We'd be game to meet other DISers. 
17 days to go 
doesn't know he's going to be boarded for two weeks. The longest we've boarded him was a weekend. I am sure we will come back to an upset doggy. He has separation anxiety if I just go to the store. 
Sitting in a hammock with a Konch Kooler in hand on CC sounds good right now. DH is out of town on business this week and then at an intensive class next week (he has to stay at the hotel for the week). I will need a vacation after next week! Three children are exhausting on my own! 
They have as much energy as the icon! DS1 just started to say "Mama" this week. So, that has been one nice thing this week among the chaos. Sometimes, I wish we could just skip WDW and go straight to the cruise. Almost cruise time! 
I read on another thread people joking about having a "cruise room", where they stored things for their upcoming cruise. Not on purpose, our home office has turned into a "cruise room". 
They took a day trip to Kennedy Space Center and Port Canaveral today. She couldn't resist calling me from Port Canaveral. They saw the Wonder in port and thought of us. 
DD4 (Emily) and DS6 (Will) will also be in the Oceaneer's Club and Scuttle's Cove (on CC) on and off during the cruise. DS1 (Cole) will be with us most of the cruise and in Flounder's Reef usually every evening. So, we can enjoy the shows with DD4 and DS6. 
If they knew other children before stepping into the Oceaneer's Club, it might be less overwhelming being in there with hundreds of other children. Please tell me the Oceaneer's Club is open the first night! 
I love my children and we do plan on spending a lot of time with them on the cruise, but we will be with the children all week at 
and will need a break. 
Our cruise documents have not arrived. Every time I heard a truck today, I was hoping to hear the door bell ring. Maybe tomorrow? 
HoldensMommy: Thank you for posting the question regarding Oceaneer's Club on the first night. I look forward in seeing what responses you get. I guess if it is closed, we may take the kids to the movie theater. We want to see Santa Clause 3 while onboard.
