I just got home and saw the UPS man leaving my neighborhood. I pulled up to my house and got very excited...My Docs have arrived

Congrats!

Where do you live that you got your Docs?

45 minutes from Disney. 1 1/2 from the port.

I bought a few sand toys for DDs. I was thinking about shipping them down ahead of time. However, after seeing pictures of some of Shirley's baskets, I am wondering if I should order them baskets with sand toys instead. [/QUOTE]


I ordered mine for my girls last week. She added anything I wanted to it. I wanted more toy stuff than snack/drinks. She was wonderful. I even ordered my DH one with wine and mask/snorkel. They will be excited. They sign it from whoever you want too(like Mickey)

Im in FL too, hoping we get some docs today.

Thanks so much for the movie info - BTW - loved Wild Hogs. Very underrated movie. We aren't really into the POTC movies, as they are too gruesome for a 4 yr old girl. Not that she has seen Wild Hogs either though!

I'm not worried about shipping a box down, but don't understand how to get it BACK if need be. How physically do you get it off the ship with everything else? We are leaving the rental car at port so we will have a car there and expect to go to a local UPS/pakmail center to ship it back, but I am wondering how to physically do that with everything else? Does this make sense?

Maybe I am a bad parent but my daughter saw the first one with me recently at home and honestly most of the items in it weren't that bad (POTC) - she is 4 also but I can definetly see how it may be intense for a 4 year old (my daughter LOVES adventure and she is a nut about roller coasters, dangerous activities, etc. - I swear she is a tomboy with a hint of princess).

As far as the package - we do plan on sending back up a box either via fedex or ups (we haven't decided yet) but its my understanding there are quite a few spots in PORT and WDW area that can accomodate.

I think our DD's will get along so good!! Her bday party next week, guess what the theme is, Pirates!! Cake and all. LOL She too is a tomboy with a hint of princess (loves all of the adventure stuff too) For the first 2 years after she was born, one of my DH's cousins babysat her, they had 4 boys. All of her cousins too, she loves it!

I never thought of sending a box...we planned to just buy our diapers and baby food down there, but now it might work better to send all that! WOW!

We are up here in MI so we probably wont see docs till next week, but I am praying for Saturday!!!

I am so excited...we leave 14 days from today....gotta get more organized...dont want to forget anything!

We are excited about seeing Underdog...been wanting to take Ryan (age 2) so this will be a great opportunity! He loves movies with dogs!

I was thinking the same thing about Underdog. Wyatt, who just turned 2, LOVES dogs and anything about dogs. I rented Fire dog (I think that is the name) recently and he loved it.

Congrats to all that received their docs! Hopefully I will see mine by the middle of next week. Btw, did any of you go through a travel agent or did you book directly through DCL? Just wondering because I did book through a TA and I'm sure there is an added delay in my docs arriving. TIA!

That's funny - my daughter had her 4th back in June and she wanted Superman - so we had a huge superman themed party - but for Halloween this year she will be Pocohantas (sp?).

I booked through through DCL, A friend of my mom works for DCL.

 

[LoriS]

I booked online through DCL.

 

[Windy City Heather]

I booked throught a TA o'wait, I am a TA. They should be sent out at the same time and then it is just how long it takes your TA to get them to you.

 

[Hixski]

I booked with DVC through DCL. My docs could take awhile going through both channels.

Me too, but I remember lst year that we got them pretty quick...Cant remember what the time frame was, but it was about 2 1/2 weeks before the cruise that we received them....So lets hope its the same way!
