Have a great trip everyone!
And a word to think about for those of us left behind -- there aren't that many Eastern trip reports, and we'd love to hear about your adventures!

2 more days of work until cruise time I haven't started packing yet...this is probably the latest I have ever waited to pack...I just don't feel like packing I wish all my things could just show up on the boat I should probably start thinking about what to pack. At least my FE gifts are done

Question: does anyone know the times the Disney Cruise Line Bus leaves the airport? We want to be on the 1st one.

We stayed at the airport Hyatt on our last cruise and took the DCL bus through them and were on the bus around 9am. If you are staying there and using the DCL transfers, when you check in they give you asheet with all the info on what to do with your luggage and where and when to meet for the bus. Hope this helps!

Awesome! Thank you for the info. How was the Hyatt?

It was so convenient! We didn't have to worry about anything.

We didn't get to use the pool because we got there after hours but the room was nice, the bed comfortable, and the room service was good too.

Well,,,, here it is ,,,,, midnight and I'm here at the office working. I suspect that I have another two hours of work ahead of me tonight. Then,,,, a couple hours of sleep and THEN,,,,,,, you guessed it,,,, MORE WORK!!!!!!!
Of course, that will begin at 6:45AM across town in the downtown Indy area. AND,,,, who needs sleep anyway. Me, you say???? Eye don't thin k so(PS, deliberate attempt to make you think I am sleepy). Where was I? Oh yeah,,, I'm here. AT THE OFFICE. AND IT'S MIDNIGHT!!!!! Not even bananas will make me happy at this point. BUT, never hurts to try.

I know I will be sleeping on the plane Friday.

havent did no packing yet got a lot to do leave tomorrow morning staying 1 night in wdw. might go to the parks if i have a day left on a old ticket cant remember if not i will just go to down town disney. i dont want to pay 80 dollars for a 1 day 1 park ticket that i would only be able to use a half a day.

It's our Friday, It's our Friday!

We leave tomorrow befor the sun is up. Last night my youngest son brought the suit cases upstairs and started packing (how cute is that). Get this, he packed his underwear and socks in the carry on, and everything else in the next size up suitcase. How funny. I'm like, sorry, those things are not going to be carry on .

But, with some laundry to be done today, we are pretty packed up. Aside from the hustle and bustle at work, I think we are good to go!

Like 3DAN said before, I need to check out the dates/times for our meets. They aren't in my mind yet.

Anyone going to buy web acess on the ship? Anyone know what it costs? I'm debating on if I should bring my laptop or not.

See everyone soon!

 

[disneyland255]

Hey Everyone!

Took the day off and we have been running around doing laundry, cleaning house, buying last minute items, and packing!

Just took some pictures of our FE and wanted to share!

 

[lovesDCL]

Hi everyone! We're at the airport waiting to board our flight to Orlando! I can't believe the day finally came! We're sooooo happy to get out of the cold. Hope the Florida weather is nice.

See you all soon!

 

[disneyland255]

Have a safe trip you guys! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY also!

 

[itutorfortravel]

Hey guys! we made it to st. augustine. staying at a hotel downtown on the bay. the town is really pretty all dressed up for the holidays. tomorrow we pick up step-dd in orlando and head to cocoa beach...can't believe the time has finally come for our Christmas cruise - yea!!!

someone mentioned the meets on the last page...i believe we said 2 pm in the promenade lounge on both saturday and sunday. also, if anyone wants to try to meet in the terminal, we could try to do that around 11 by the ship's model...

 

[disneyland255]

A meet?? I had no idea. We're going for the first bus so we should be there by 11. We'll try to meet up with everyone while were there. HOW EXCITING!!!!

Glad you made it safely tutor!!!!

 

[3DAN]

SLEEEEEEEPPPPPP,,,, You bet,,,, I sure am still at the office. HMMMMMM,, Let's see. If I work constantly and the plane leaves at 7AM and I need to be there at least 1 hr before, not including any sales tax on my calculations, then I believe that I will feel like cra# long before any happiness or sleep occurs. Oh, wait , I already feel that way. Bet you don't know where I am.
Two guesses and the second one doesn't count.

TA DAAAAAA
THE OFFICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I'll go and start packing.
TTFN

See,,, I am getting tired.

 

[itutorfortravel]

bill, how do you go on so little sleep? night before last i woke up at 2:45 am and couldn't go back to sleep...yes, i was up FOR THE DAY before 3 AM!!...anyhow, i was sooooo tired all day yesterday that i ended up with a migraine by 7 pm. i just don't do too well with sleep deprivation...i wish i had the energy level that you do...i plan to enjoy some much needed rest on this cruise!

 

[riggins]

Hi guys-
We finally told the kids about the cruise tonight and it was awesome!! I did a scavenger hunt with some clues, but they didn't even suspect what it really was until they got the end. They were so excited!! My 6-year-old was upset for about 20 seconds when she realized she was going to miss her class Christmas party tomorrow, but she got over it quickly. I videotaped it and will try to share it when we get back. It was sooooo worth waiting.

So, we're heading out in the morning. I'll see all of you at the port or in the Promonade Lounge on Saturday.

Safe travels!
-Leslie

Oh my gosh! That sounds awesome! I'm so glad your kids were thrilled. I don't know any who wouldn't be. We'll see you on the ship!!!
