05/09/2009 May 9, 2009 7-Night Eastern St Maarten... Watch Out!

[lulu0506]

Almost done, just have to go to the bank and JC Penny tomorrow and thats it! Im soooo ready for this trip

I would like to do a roll call and see how is still around?

We are still here and almost packed and ready to head out EARLY Friday morning Really looking forward to our 1 night stay at AKL Friday night -- I will need that time to settle and relax from all this crazy vacation prep -- then onto the Magic

Have a safe trip everyone!

List us on the roll call...We are still stuck at home!
*We fly out of Columbus Friday at 1:20pm
*DWs mom also flys out of Ft Myers at the same time
*We land at MCO at 3:30pm and DWs mom lands at 2:10pm... then we head into the Hyatt MCO for some R&R by the pool
*Our pickup Saturday is at 8:40am with a quick grocery stop then off to the terminal!

I zipped the FE suitcase shut about 10 minutes ago so that is finally done! The kids clothes are all packed and DW is 90% packed. I have almost everything picked out, but very little of it packed. We will get everything finished tomorrow night I guess!

We also need to pack up the dog tomorrow to drop her off with a friend to watch while we are gone.

Mouse and family safely ensconced at the Lake Buena Vista Resort here at beautiful Downtown Disney! Got here in time to go to Hollywood Studios and buy annual passes (yes, we're committing to additional trips this year!!) and get pics taken with Woody and Buzz. Pre-purchased our double stroller rental to save a few additional dollars on Thursday/Friday. Then returned to our 14th floor room to catch the IllumiNations fireworks at Epcot from on high. Got an unexpected treat when we discovered that it is a perfect vantage to see the Magic Kingdom fireworks at the same time! What a cool way to start the vacation. Tomorrow is MK, followed by AK and Epcot on Friday. (Likely to only do the safari, treks and Everest at AK before heading over to Epcot for some Nemo and world travel.) See you guys soon! And if you see a frazzled father of 3 girls wearing a green bracelet, it's me...say hi!!

It is after midnight and I am not done yet! Argh!

I still have to be at work at 8am, then I leave straight from work to the airport. Just need SOME sleep! HAH!

 

[don604]

We are on our way!! Our flight leaves this morning...we will see you all there! God bless!!

 

[dollysmom]

We are still here!! Our flight leaves tomorrow morning at 630am. All that is left to do if the last minute packing and cleaning of the disaster we have made in the house this past week. The kids are very excited. As are we adults.

See you all soon.

At 12:40 I will print our boarding passes on southwest for our flight out tomorrow. We get in at 3:30 so Scottie we may just see you in the airport!Still have a few things to do and we should be all set! My dd who is 4 woke up today and said its time for Mickey... I said no one more day and she said but mom you said 2 more sleeps, I took a nap and went to bed and that is two sleeps... Man I guess I should have told her that naps don't count LOL!!! Anyway my anxiety is at 100% right now!

Sounds like a great room you have! Wish we were in Disney already! I will be sure to keep my eyes open for the guy crying in the corner of the terminal, due to lack of sleep

 

[Eeyore77]

Well one more day of work to survive and then it is off to WDW. I hope I can sleep tonight I am sooooo excited. I have a little more packing to do but I will get that done in the about 30 minutes. Well I will check in one more time tomorrow, but I guess I will see most of you on the ship.

 

[Sagbrook]

Printed our SW boarding passes at 4:25-# 18 19 etc. Arriving at MCO Hyatt at 7:15. If we arrive on time hope to take kids for quick swim. Maybe will see some of you there. Happy travels to all.

 

[SCDizneyDawn]

This is my last post! I have to work tomorrow til 3pm then we take a 7:25pm flight to MCO and spend the night at the Renaissance hotel at MCO. So, we will see everyone Saturday

 

[dollysmom]

If you happen to check in again, please let Kennedy know Morgan sent her a final email before the big trip!

Kennedy has not checked her email, so I printed it out for her to read tomorrow.

I guess this will be my last post from Nova Scotia. If we remember, I may check in tomorrow evening from the hotel. I can't believe the kids were as easy as they were to get to bed. Let's hope it all goes that easy at 4am. See every soon.

Safe flying and driving to all of those heading out tomorrow.

Well we may very well find you in the pool- depending on how worn out the kids are by then from the sun, as we will be there about 4pm and I think it is supposed to be in the 90's tomorrow.

 

[scottie]

We are all packed up, other then the stuff we have to use in the morning. We will be heading out to the airport around 1130am tomorrow for our 120pm flight so everyone have safe travels and hopefully many of us will run into each other between the terminal and the ship
