We are bringing a computer on the ship to be able to empty our memory cards from the cameras. With 3 cameras and I love to take lots of photos, it is a neessary.

Please travel safe and we will see all of you in 1 day and a wake up. Today is our last day of work before MNSSHP and the cruise.

It looks like most people have taken off. This is our last day of work as well Michael! I can't believe I have my online check in for my flight in a few hours! This day is going to be really hard to get through and a very senior person on the management team here at work just scheduled a meeting with me today for 4pm.

My dd and I are *both* bouncing off the walls and she's asking me a million questions too. Even though this is our 2nd cruise she was only 17 months the first time and doesn't remember (except for the pictures we show her) and I was on a DIS thread but didn't decorate my door and we didn't really have a FE exchange (or FE) so that's new for me too!

OK, I have a LOT to do at work today so I look forward to meeting everyone on board! See ya soon . . .

Safe travels everyone. See you all Saturday!

We are not leaving until tomorrow morning. Our Panthers have an 8 PM game tonight against the Steelers so we will be going to the game tonight and driving out tomorrow morning. Since the game will be late we may sleep a little late. We hope to be off by 9 tomorrow morning, though.

I agree with other posters; it doesn't look like the storm will be affecting us. I am thankful for that!

I know I said I was staying off this to focus on work BUT I CAN'T! I check in online for my flight in just 1hr and 11 minutes.

I've never flown Southwest before, I don't like that I can't pick my seat when I book but the price was right so here I am giving it a shot. So reminiscent of waiting to book Palo.

Awesome article, and what great press for Disney!

Btw - did you guys see they're going to announce the new itenieraries for the new boat while we cruise? Too bad we can't book same day (and get the onboard discount).

I LOVE Southwest. Don't let that scare you. A lot of people complain, but if you check in right away, you will get good seats and next to each other. If I had a choice, I would always fly them. They are funny, on-time, great snacks and drinks and no hard time about luggage.

Ibela - we MIGHT be able to book while we are on board for the new cruises in 2011. We might even get a "sneak-peak" wouldn't that be great. I hope I am not expecting too much!

We got A27-29, I guess that's good?

That is great! You will love it! I don't know what airport you are flying out of, but at most airports it is pretty easy to board Southwest because they have lines now unlike the crowds pushing and shoving to get to the front. Ugh! I did hate that. You will have to let me know in the Promenade lounge if it was okay. Also, weather here in Orlando/Tampa is GREAT!!!

Enjoy the Game! I will be watching. You will think I am silly but I just got back from CVS and found the cutest things for the FE's. I just came home and restuffed all the bags with some fun things! I couldn't resist and it doesn't help that we are leaving in 2 days and I AM MORE EXCITED THEN EVER!!!!! I think there are only like 4 families left on the boards

Well we are still around until o'dark thirty tomorrow morning. So we will check in a few more times tonight.

I am having to fight the urge to make more personal items for the FEs. We have bought all that we will buy but there is always more to make. Wait I have to stop while i am still almost sane.

We're in Disney World arrived this morning after a hectic day and night.
Our DD decided at the very last moment (3:45pm yesterday) to join us on the cruise for my birthday. I managed to book flights for Saturday for her and her friend. Booked the cruise for them at 5:15pm yesterday afternoon - what a rush. Cat 7 was the cheapest available stateroom!!! However they have been upgraded to a Cat 4 a few staterooms from us!
So this is going to be a Cruise of first ... as I mentioned on my first post it will be my first time aboard for my birthday. Will also be DD first time aboard in her own stateroom, DD friend's first Disney Cruise and the very first cruise organized by my DH. He even made us door magnets - first for him too.
I am so HAPPY that our DD will be on the cruise and with me for my birthday!!!!
Hope to see many of you aboard!
