I think I have all of our evening clothes picked out and ready. I have told SIL what kind of stuff to get for DN. I picked out stuff for formal and semi formal for DN, and just kept it at my house. I gave her (SIL) a packing list, as we will be at WDW the week before and for MNSSHP, I hope she gets everything. She is such a winner. So excited, I hope my docs come soon!!!

Hey everyone! Finally got internet at the new house
I am starting to get my clothes together....had my fitting for my bridal gown....but still no formal! Wish they would have let us do our ceremony on formal night...that would have really made it easy! Oh well....
still looking for something. I have some great dresses, but didnt lose as much weight as I had hoped so Icant get back into those size 6's. Guess two babies does that to a woman! LOL!
No word on docs here yet either...anxiously waiting!!!
I am starting to get really excited! We leave for FL in 25 days!!!

My mom and aunt are finishing up the fish extenders today, so that should be good to go....
Hey, anyone know where we can see some recent Navs?? The most recent I found online are from Jan!

Here's a link to some from February, I know, not much better than January!

And it seems I've heard somewhere that the schedules might have changed since then (can't remember where).

Is there an Eastern before ours, where we can talk someone into getting us navigators?

I do believe the 9/1 cruise is an Eastern. Won't give us much time to plan. LOL I am just figuring on being surprised once we get on board

I finally found Pirate cistumes for the girls, and they are so cute. I was so excited. I started a clothing packing list yesterday too. I have all of our dinnerwear planned out. I just need to find one more outfit for myself.

Hi Everyone - Sorry I have been MIA. Life just seems to get in the way of my time on the Dis. Anyway, I wanted to post that I updated all the changes I received via PM or e-mail on the web-site. If anyone else has changes, please feel free to PM me!!!!

I'm just trying to get DD to commit to something in the Lab, so that we can try to book Palo. I need to know before I get onboard.

I think I'll post a message on the 9/1 Eastern board to see if they will collect navigators.

I just realized - the ticker is down to just DAYS now!!1 It is finally starting to feel "real"...... panic is sure to set in now, so much to do that I thought I would already have done by now!

Now you know how I feel! Mine is down to 18 !
And Im not packed yet!

Yeah, rub it in!

I think if I spent 3 weeks on that ship, they would never get me off of it!

 

[Bareacuda]

I just might not. I found a great hiding place last time we were on the ship!

 

[TaraBoss]

and that got me thinkin.....2 words FISH EXTENDERS. So off to Joanns I go, getting stuck behind a 20 minute long train, fighting a 70 year old lady for the last roll of red polka dotted fabric, getting soaked getting in and out of my car, and coming home to find my dog has had an accident all over my new carpet! I already know that my sewing machine will magically decide not to work when I try to put together the first seam. Why do I continue to do this to myself before every trip?!? Because I want it to be the most magical trip it can be for my family. So I put the carpet cleaner away, put a mental picture of the Magic in my mind and march off to get my magic sewing machine. Have a Disney Night everyone!

Mine too!

Me either, it seems like we are very much in the same boat.

I still need to buy some clothing for the trip yet.

because we do those things to drive ourselves crazy!

Well make sure you don't tell my DD. She's a skinny little thing that would fit in any tiny little hole, and she would love to stowaway on the ship!

 

[RetroJulie]

This time next month we'll all be on the ship! Yay! My DH and I are getting so excited. This will be our second cruise (both times Disney... why bother trying another line). 1st time was a three day. *Really* looking forward to the 7 day.

In full-on planning mode at this point. We got online this past weekend and booked our excursions. I also booked myself 2 different spa visits. I'm having a hard time finding a dress I like for formal night, however. Wish me luck on that front.

Question - is there a DIS meet on the ship any night during the cruise? If so, when, where, how do we get on the list, etc.

See everyone at the terminal!

 

[JNorris]

Hey Julie!

Check out our website:

www.lisalovesdisney.com

brought to us courtesy of Lisa0503. You can PM her if you would like to be added to the list.

We don't have a set time for the first DisMeet, do we? We need to plan something. On our last cruise, we all met up on Deck 10 for the sailaway, but to be honest, it was really hard to talk to people because it was so loud. How does everyone feel about meeting in the Promenade Lounge (deck 3) before the lifeboat drill?

 

[tinkerbellandeeyore]

we need to set it before Bareacuda leaves cause she has the bracelets.

 

[tinkerbelle77]

We will be at the port early, so you tell us what place and time, and we will be there!!!

I have all of formal clothes together...Tims going to get fitted for a tux tonight...I think we are in good shape! I am trying to work ahead of schedule...I am going to Nashville to visit a girlfiend from HS labor day weekend(Its her 30th b-day), so there will be no planning or packing going on that weekend!!!

Its less than a month away...I am already in vacation mode...I'm sitting here at work, looking at DIS, and daydreaming about sitting back on the ship relaxing! See ya all real soon!

One more thing...I need to know a final count for the last day at sea
I have JNorris, Hixski, and nikkistevej...Am I missing anyone??? Please help me!!! Thanks!

We decided to upgrade from our Cat 8 to a Cat 7. DH really wanted that verandah. So now we won't have a room number until we board. Kind of freaky, but oh well. I did like being on Deck 5 since it was really convenient to the clubs for DS, but oh well.

 

[kimgregg]

We got our cruise docs on Sat!!!!! My MIL is our travel agent and there are more going with us than originally planned, so we are part of a "group" and the group dept got itchy with our docs and sent them early!! yea!
