[Doingitagain]

Marie, if you're still on, why did they change it? That is so strange!!!

It was the last one of the day and we are leaving CC a half hour earlier on Sunday.

Marie, how's the weather? Hot with afternoon showers or lots of rain???

It is very hot and humid. One quick afternoon shower went through. We made it qn early night because we were so hot and tired.

For those of you doing WDW before DCL...Fast Passes are the key. Get one right away, then get another one as soon as the time arrives when you can (some FP show you the time you can get one others may not...if they don't, just try to get one and it will show you the time on the "invalid" FP).

This is important...you do not need to go back in the time range on the FP...just no earlier than the first time. We have used FPs hours later. Twice this week we gave people extra FP because we wore out before they did!

LeeAnne- do an online check-in. I never know what to fill in on those forms, so I go online. Just go to www.disneycruise.com and click my Disney cruise. Then put in your confirmation number, your birthday and go. You have to fill our stuff for each one of you going on the cruise. Don't forget to think twice if you have kids and giving them charging priveledges. After you fill in your personal info and how you are going to pay, you will have to print out a signature page or pages. After printing them, don't forget to bring them to registration. All you need then at registration is the signed signature sheets, your ID, passports or birth certificates. You do not have to fill out any of the document forms then. If you forget to bring the signed sheets to registration, you have to fill out the documents then. It is so much easier doing it online ahead of time. Teri

We are in Brunswick, GA for the evening before heading to WL in tomorrow.

You all did great getting to 1900. Can you reach 2000?

As for FP, a friend of mine just got back and said that he went for a FP for Expedition Everest in Ak at opening and FP time was for 2:30PM and line to wait was 3 hours long.

I'm under the 50 pound limit on my luggage!!! That is so unlike me!

Way to go on the 1900 posts! I can't believe how many pages were filled too!!

Leeanne-Thank God for the positive first results!! More prayers coming your way for more good news!!

Safe travels to all!!!

Bye everyone! I'm finishing up our last minute stuff. I'm about to cxl our 2nd CC stop parasailing ressies if anyone wants to snatch them

 

[RCBA]

AACCCKK went to cancel parasailing and it says "sorry you can't book exc right now...." something about not being paid in full!!!! I pd in full when we booked because we booked late

 

[carole88]

Safe trip Charla. Weird how you can't cancel your excursion.

 

[1happyfam]

Lorie/Charla safe trips see you there.

Meg thanks for thr kind words.

I actually did start packing last night and am finishing house stuff now.Whew!!

 

[1happyfam]

OK, I have a foldable soft sided cooler that can go on a wheeled pull along,I was going to stop on way to port and fill it with water and wine. Will they let me on ship with that? Also the pull along is pretty heavy to pack from here to Florida any suggestions? Would I use the cooler for say the beach at Coz or the excursion/Maj beach in CM? If it's not neccessary I wont even bring it.

 

[BethA]

It's getting very lonely here!!
Safe trip everyone.
I'll be checking in later, even though there might not be many posts--STILL not done packing!!
Terrible storms here today--hope it doesn't delay our departure tomorrow.

 

[Minnie7701]

One bag packed and just at the 50 pound mark.
I hope our scale is working correctly?
I still have much to do.....need more time....

Good luck and safe trip to those heading out!!!!

See you soon!
LeeAnne- Glad to hear everything is working out!

Hi Lee Anne - We used one of those coolers on our first cruise. We packed it with soda (before available at drink station), water and beer. We had no problem bringing it on the ship. They even checked it with the rest of our luggage so we didn't have to lug it around with us!

LeeAnne- from what I understand, you can bring the cooler onboard with drinks as long as there is no ice in it and the drinks are unopened. I have used a soft cooler when we go to the beach on our own. We fill ziplocs with ice from the ship and put in the soft cooler. I usually take a thermal cup and put my pop and ice in it at the beach to drink. My hubby just puts his cans of pop in the cooler and drinks from the can. The ziplocs keep the water from melting ice from getting all over everything. The soft coolers don't keep the ice as well as the hard coolers, but it better than nothing. Teri

Thanks so much. My DH is starting to think I'm crazy with all the extras I'm packing like the cooler, so now I can tell him it's ok to bring and will get use!

 

[40Mom]

Love the cooler questions!!

Does that mean I should pack ziploc bags?

Meg

 

[Minnie7701]

I am off! going home to hopefully finish packing!

Is anyone still here?
