It's usually our first day at sea, Sunday.

Thanks for the information. I am trying to schedule a hair appointment to get my DD daughter and DN hair done the day of Formal night. I am getting to excited.

Hi Jackie- Glad you joined the conversation!!!! So will you be ready for Sunday? Does anyone know if they have a girls hair do-up on the ship? Something like at Disney 365???

Hi Sherry! I am so excited. Can't wait to see you guys again! I did see where there is on ship hair braiding.

I am trying to get the count down calander on my profile. Wish me luck....

don't know why it's doubling up on me tonight!

Any suggestions on where to get 2 day WDW park tickets?? Is park hopper needed or worth it??? Thanks for any advise!

I don't think park hoppers are worth it for two days. You'll end up spending most of your time on busses or boats or monorails instead of seeing the parks. Pick one and just enjoy it for the day. Go online to order your tickets, but I don't think you get any break for just two days, unfortunately. I forgot to look to see if you are a Florida resident. If so, ask for FL res rates, and you will get a discount. Good luck!

Hi, Jackie. For hairstyling at the Vista Spa and Salon, you have to be 18 years or older. Just thought I'd put that out there.

Oh, and you will only be able to book Salon treatments on the ship. You won't be able to book them online. So, you can book anytime after 1:00 once you board the ship.

They now take everyone in your party picture at the check in desk, so now everyone has to accompany the person to check in. If there are people checking in later, that is probably fine but whomever is at the terminal needs to go to check together.

The family can check in without the driver. They get everyone checked in and have their photo taken together. When the driver arrives, he or she has to present a passport and then get their picture taken. If you explain to the CM at the top of the escalator, I've heard they will even usher you to the counter so the driver doesn't have to wait in line. That's what we are planning to do!

I'm going to attempt to add the Kids' thread here. If I am unsuccessful, could someone please lend a hand?

That worked. I have also posted the Kids Thread on the first post.

I am surprised that with Disney catering to the kids that they do not have a salon that does the little girls hair Oh welll, thanks for the info.

For those that are interested I was sent a really good link on HDR photography.

You can find it here . Now all you need to do is practice, practice, practice and you will be all set for the cruise.

Hope this helps......

Fly By Alert - haven't really gotten a chance to get online much while down here in the World. We got in to Orlando Sunday morning and man it was HOT!! and hasn't really let up. This is the hottest I have ever seen when going in May. With humidity/dew points so high it has felt well over 90. I can't even imagine what it is like down here in the middle of summer.

The heat doesn't seem to bother the kids at all though. They are enjoying themselves While I love our trips to the world I can't help but think of our very RELAXING trip on the Cruise in just a few months. Rainforest Room, massage, margarita by the pool and my kids enjoying themselves at the kids club.

Hope everyone is getting as pumped as I am.

Yes I have started but I was waiting to see how the groups broke down and what ages I'll have in my group. Brenda when do you plan to close it off and break into groups?
I am frustrated with airfares right now. Have been watching for a while and they remain around $300pp. Really was hoping NOT to spend $1200 on airfare. In the next 12 months I have at least 17 airline tickets to purchase for various travel committments we have (weddings, christmas, graduation). UGH
