Hi everyone! I am new to this cruise, but not to the boards!! I will be joining you with my good friends NYCDVClover2000!!

I just wanted to let you all know that when we did this cruise in 2004, my kids were 7 and 10. We all used the Adult Bonine except the kids took 1/2 of 1 pill as their dose. I don't think they even made a kids bonine then!! LOL!!

Anyway, can't wait for this cruise!!

P.S. It will be our 20th anniversary on 9-9-09!!

Welcome to our little family.

OOOHHH! Thanks for this tip! I did not even think about that!

Welcome to our cruise gang!

Thanks!! I feel like I have been out of my crazy Disney mode, but I'm back! LOL!! I remember our first Diney Cruise! We couldn't check-in online or anything like that! I love the sail-away with the big Mickey Hands from the CMs at the port!! Palo was the best too!! Our server made us try everything!! The chocolate souffle was awsome!!

 

[Nysie]

If you have any more ?? I'll be happy to answer them!

Welcome!!!

We got our docs today!!!! Our TA emailed me yesterday that she had put them in the mail. I didn't expect them until Monday, but they arrived today! On a good note she also sent us a cruise picture frame, on a not great note, she is still calling Wilson a boy and mailed both children a postcard from "Mickey". Very nice, but if you remember my children don't know about the trip. I am pretty positive that I have discussed that with her. Oh well, it just means that I will be camped out at the mailbox for a few more days.

Congrats on the document dance.

Is that everyone now?

 

[Nysie]

Oh my! I hope they are still surprised!!

 

[WDW Enabler]

I should be making the extra FEs right now but I keep finding myself watching TV and the DIS (not necessarily in that order).

wow I think i need an intervention.

We have our docs now. No upgrades but we are still going to have a ball. Our room # is 7503
I am so bad about putting things off till the last minute. I did start our FE a loooong time ago, I just never finished it. I should really get off of this computer and go do that. Remind me again how many more days I have.

13 days and a wake up left.

i have 4 FEs done 3 in progress and still need to start the one that is for a surprise. DW still needs to do the "girly" stuff to it or at least tell me what needs to be done (names disigns ect). When this all started she told me if I buildt them she would decorate them.

On our way to daycare on Thursday Fallon started singing "we're going on a cruise, we're going on a cruise" to the tune of a song that I can't remember the name of.

I plan on doing my last minute "cruise clothes" shopping today, making a packing list during the week, and packing next weekend because we have to leave early Fri am and I have no days off left to schedule!

Dog kennel - check
Parking lot list at the airport - check
Hotel confirmation - check
Dolphin confirmation - check
Car rental confirmations - check
FE - still in progress

Am I missing something?

I know one, but don't know how important it is - I gave the emergency #'s to my neighbor and my in-laws. I just finished with "my surprise" and it is packed. Thanks Michael and family for suggesting that. We are so excited - 2 weeks and there are 4 movies I want to see!!!!!! I need to relax. I was hoping they would show X-games, but no such luck - I better go this week. Anybody else like that silly stuff? I cannot skate or anything so don't think it is a dream of mine. I think it is the fact that if I did that, I would die, so I watch people that actually can. Has anyone seen it yet?

Am I missing something?

Hold mail

• Stop newspaper (if applicable)
• Notify your credit card company you will be traveling

• Get a friend to water your plants / garden.
• Double check your flights - they changed our flights 2x so far
• Weigh you luggage - $150 over weight charge
• Make sure you hold to 2 bags per traveler - Bag 3 = $125

I was reading Delta's baggage policy and discovered a couple things:

For tickets purchased on or after July 16, 2009, there is a $5/bag surcharge for checking bags at the airport, but not for bags prepaid during online check-in.

Some items don't count toward your Carry On bags limit:

• Food items for immediate consumption
• One box or bag of duty free merchandise - does Tortuga Rum Cake count

 

[p.laverty]

Congratulations on your 15th anniversary. Not many can make that claim. Looking forward to celebrating with you!!!

 

[disney minnie]

We celebrated our 15th in June. It's one of the reasons that we are going on this trip!

 

[Hoagie Pie]

I forgot to say Welcome to the new people and Congrats to all those celebrating an anniversary!!! We were just thinking that 2 weeks from tonight we might be in Parrot Cay - this is my fave restaurant on the ship. I hope everyone has a Happy Sunday!
