10/15/2011 - Taking the West by Magic!

[The Browns]

I think they are pack and plays? But I am not sure, I like to pack my own sheet and blanket for the lil one. I thought i saw a pic somewhere of the crib and it was a graco PNP but who knows if they have changed them to port a cribs.

I know I'll be packing a sheet and blankets for her because she takes her blankets everywhere. Hopefully it's a port a crib. Maybe I'll try to call guest services again. I tried calling this morning and the wait time was too long.

I'm pretty sure it's a pack-n-play. Most places (hotels, cruise ships ect.) won't do cribs any more due to the liability issues, and pack-n-plays take less space. Any way she can sleep on the bottom sofa bed? It's really low, and the stateroom host can get you a bed rail for it if you're concerned about her falling out. Might be a neat thing for her to be a "big girl".

Have fun on your cruise, see ya when we all are back in Colorado!

We are in a deluxe ocean view room so I "think" there's only the one fold out sofa bed which we'll be using for Nathan. She hated the pack and play so I'm just going to pray this works. I did get ahold of guest services and they reserved me a set of bed rails just in case.

True, but you should also have a ceiling bed that lowers, making the two bunk beds. Jillian slept in that one when she was 5, and had no problems at all, of course it's got bed rails too, so falling out is hard unless Nathan is a serious exerciser when he sleeps! Jillian is pretty agile, but she never fell out, and she managed to fall out of her toddler bed a couple of times when she was littler. So, if your DD won't take the pack-n-play, there's that option too, I'm sure it'll work out for you guys! They'll be so exhausted from the busy days that they'll conk right out!

Alex was just about 4 and loved it...thought of it as her own play area.

Momtylerashley(Renee) - 2 (1 red & 1 black) = 1.26

Onkel Hans - 4 (2 red & 2 black) = 2.52

LySand (Lynn) - 4 (2 red & 2 black) = 2.52

Mousemadness (Monica) - 4 (2 red & 2 black) = 2.52

dizpat (Denise) - 6 (3 red & 3 black) = 3.78

Well, I'm packed and 15 minutes away from heading to the airport. I'm pretty sure I didn't forget anything, I've got extra zip ties for my FE, and extra Purex detergent/dryer sheets just in case anyone else is like me and will need to do laundry on the first day.

If anyone in the FE needs a zip tie to make sure thier FE doesn't wander off, I've got a few extras, and I also have some small embroidery scissors that we can use to cut the ties off at the end of the cruise (OK, I HATE even thinking that phrase!!!!!)

See you all next Saturday!!!!! I'll be checking in over this next week, so if anyone has any questions, I'll be around

 

[Becker5]

I have started to pull clothing so my kids don't wear it again before we leave. 1/2 done with pirate costumes, dressy dresses need some alterations, need to get some dress shoes for the girls, figure out magnets, haven't booked excursions, agggghhhhh. Starting to feel freaked out.

Of course, being freaked out about an upcoming Disney Cruise is a very good freak out indeed

I think I'm with you on this... only half packed, no formal for myself, haven't finished FE's or pirate costumes... But hey I have Monday the holiday right?

So just taking a break from packing (somehow I get to pack all of us....the kids try to help, but then I go back again and fix it, ) So anyway. Autumn-(9) says, "I can't wait to go to Mexico, they have such nice beaches!" Really? How do you know that? Did you google it or something with Dad? Then she says to me, "Well, I have seen Beverly Hills Chihuahua you know"

Though it was cute to share.

Can't wait, it's so close I can't stand it!!

Glad we are not going on cruise today. It has been raining non-stop since last night. I would have been a nervous wreck since we sometimes have problems with flooding on our street. So far it has been draining good. Our patio is under water but we use a small pump and run the water into our sink. Weather looks promising for next Saturday. For those participating in FE I have a room change. Room 7625 changed to 6553. Looking forwarded to meeting everyone.

 

[momtylerashley]

Love that! I'm sure that would be something Ashley would say too...that is if she knew she was going to Mexico! I almost said something Friday and had to cover myself...didn't lie...but really had to back peddle!

Saw the weather too and glad we weren't sailing out this week. I so hope the weather holds out for us. I'll just be crushed. I feel for those who are sailing now.

See you guys soon!

Why oh why am I always last minute...it's enough to make me

Anyone else spend their first day of vacation completely exhaused? That's me

HOWEVER, there's no place I'd rather be exhaused than sitting on a deck chair, watching the kids in the pool, and sippin' on the drink of the day!

How's everyone else holding up??

I'm water logged! We were supposed to do Discovery Cove on Saturday, and it was raining kitties and puppies, so we rescheduled it for Friday when it's supposed to be sunny and went to Busch Gardens Tampa where it was partly cloudy so that worked out well!

We swam with Manatees in the rain this morning, even saw a baby nursing (awwwww) and then went to Sea World in the afternoon where it rained off and on, and we got lucky and were in the dolphin show and Shamu show while it rained! Good start to the vacation!

Glad to hear you've been able to dodge the rain and have a good time. Let's hope for sunny skies!

 

[momtylerashley]

I'm defiantly with you on that!



I'll try and call you today. I'm finally finished with the girls FE gifts! Whoo Hoo! I've got an awesome hubby that helped me finish it last night. How come his looks better than mine? lol Oh well...they are finished and now time to finish packing!

So excited and hope the sunny sky shines on us all week!
