This might have been covered already...

Polling the ladies...

How many pairs of shoes are you taking?

A lot....seriously! If I bought them to match a dress...I will be bringing them. I did not count....but I will ball park it at about 8 or 9 including sandles.

I haven't had a chance to read at all today other than these last couple of pages. I see people are in packing mode. What is that?? No matter what I do I always seem to be finishing packing until the wee hours of the morning we leave. I have a thing about it - mental block - who knows. I find it very stressful. If it is work I also pack at the last minute.

Don't get me wrong I know what I am packing when it is work or for DH or DD. It is just me.

I have a suitcase with some cruise stuff in it. I can't really think about packing until after this party.

Today (well yesterday now) was picture day. DD looked so cute. Her whole class was there. A little boy who has been out with ...drum roll...you guessed it pneumonia for the past 3 weeks was back. I'm happy for them as it's a bummer to not have the whole class there for picture day and the kids get disappointed.

Speaking of which DD almost missed her picture last year but for her super spectacular Kindergarten teacher. Her class picture was taken first thing in the morning - well DD wasn't there because we were rushing out the door at 8A and what did I do - I closed the door and the keys to everything were still in the house and the door was locked. Panic! Running around I ended up calling the school (who told me her class was heading down), Panic, calm down enoug to call our cousin who comes to our house picks us up and brings us to school. On route I am explaining to DD that she may have missed the picture (ugh). As it turns out the teacher got the message and asked to delay the class picture until DD arrived. Wasn't that so sweet! I was so thankful!

That was sweet. Thank goodness the majority (I did not say all) of K teachers are super sweet!

Wow - quite slow last night. Where was everyone? I know I was at work. Yawn. I'm so tired and I think today is gonna be another late night.

Oh - I forgot to share with everyone...remember that lion costume I stumbled across for my son's show that he is in.....well....they ran out. Ugh! So now I have to MAKE a darn lion costume this weekend. I have no pattern...just gonna wing it. I hope it turns out okay.

Happy Friday everyone.

Take care.
Karen

Good Luck Karen!

 

[klineyqueen]

I must start my day by going to the grocery store and walmart. I need to get the last min. things for the party. I will be cooking the rest of the day. I hope I can pop back on every now and then!

 

[klineyqueen]

I seriously would offer to help, but I'm in last minute mode for Halloween costumes for the kids. (Happens every year...)

 

[GoofyforGoofy]

I did not take that into consideration. I will have to stop for pics...at least on the first day! Maybe my DH will have to go ahead.

Great. He can keep up with us....we shall call him Runner # 4.

Roundtrip airfare for 4 non-stop from Kansas City to Orlando on Southwest for our dates right now is $468.xx.

What do I do? We also could fly in Thursday evening for the same price and stay at WDW and visit a park on Friday if we wanted. Of course we would have the added hassle of the car seat, rental car, less luggage, etc.. What should we do?

Becka - at age 4 you don't need a car seat in Florida. You can rent one for your little one from the car rental agency. You can just take ME when you arrive and skip the car, unless you are taking the car to the port.

I think lots of luggage will be an issue - we are wondering the same thing - might have to go mini-van rental - although we won't have a stroller this time.

We went with hanging out at the beach at CC and Cocoa before the cruise to start our tans Of course I am regretting a little not visiting the parks but I would rather just relax than get tired at the parks.

I hear lots of the hotels on property are sold out so you should check. It's also fun to just tour some resorts at this time and see the holiday decorations. I think it will benice to have a transition day in Fl. before the cruise starts. I know we will enjoy the extra day of warmer weather.

I think that it is just where we live. I haven't received the hair ties yet but everyone else got them two days ago. If you print out your docs online you wont get the paper docs. I will probably print them a couple days before we leave to be ready but want the paper docs for the scrapbook.

OOOOPS! Now that's a bit of news that I haven't seen before. I downloaded the docs that where available online and completed them weeks ago. They are currently in my folder. I still expected to get the paper docs as well though. Bummer.

What part of NC, Brack? If she is near the coast we might be able to meet.

North of Durham, off of I85, in the Butner/Creedmoor area.

They still have to send you your luggage tags though.......

I've checked our Walmarts and they don't have any suits. Wonder if it is a Christmas thing. I will check again this weekend.

I was surprised when I went to Kmart the other day and saw they had suits.

*Important Question* (unlike most of the other crap I post on this thread)

I am a relatively new Disney Visa Card holder. I would like to know when I should contact them about getting my rewards dollars. I want them for this cruise. I really appreciate any help! Thanks guys!

I would do it right away Brandi. I haven't done this yet either!! Thanks for the reminder!
