Has anyone checked the weather?

the 10 day forecast is in the mid 70's

 

[BethA]

mid 70s sounds great!!

Is everyone dressing up for New Year's Eve?

I can't believe it's getting so close!!

 

[saksn4]

for the weather, mid 70s sounds wonderful about now! DH and I just finished chopping 3 in. thick ice off driveway from storm last night!!! We usually get snow, not so much ice!!! We just kept saying to each other warmer weather is in our near future!!!

We lucked out with just rain.
Hopefully tomorrow will be kind as well- DS#1 is flying home tomorrow morning. (fingers crossed)

Can't wait for the warmer weather!!

On New Year's Eve, we are "sort of" dressing up. No tuxes. But one son will wear his suit, DH and the other son will wear jackets and ties. I have black chiffon pants and a beaded top. I wanted to try and coordinate our outfits for a nice family photo- but we will just go with what we have in our closets.
Makes for easier packing!

11 more days!

Hello everyone! Well we finally received our docs - and our room # - 6148.

We leave in 1 week for WDW - can't believe Christmas is just a few days away!!

Talk about weather - we had snow last week (which actually stuck!) - yes in Austin TX. But alas, today it is 85 degrees.

We will be dressing up - somewhat - you may recognize us by the put-out look on my tomboy niece's face - due to her having to wear her girly dress

If anyone has any last minute questions - just ask - we are quite the veteran Disney cruisers. Oh, you should not have to fill out any forms at the port.

Merry Christmas - Happy Holidays

Our TA told us we'd have to do the Bahamas form at the port-that they no longer send them.

I read on another post that the cruise after us will be getting their fuel surcharge back as an onboard credit. That would have been nice to have.

 

[wdwscout]

Thanks Lisa.
I've added your stateroom # to the list.

Also- I re-ordered the list to put all of the Fish Extender participants together. That should help us not miss any room numbers.

The only family who said they were participating, but have not yet given their room number, is WinMo. Pam- if you're reading this- let us know what stateroom you are in!!

 

[LisaTex]

OK - guess they changed the Bahama form thing - hoping to check in at the hotel before - remember you can do that if staying at certain Disney hotels - even if you are not using their transportation.

We had to take our youngest DD (11 yr) to ER yesterday. She may have broken her wrist near the growth plate!!! The doctor at the ER wasn't certain if it is a break or not, but referred us to an orthopedic doctor for Monday. Hopefully if it is broken, it can just be put into a cast, and we won't have to cancel any plans!!! The best scenario would be that her wrist is just badly bruised and not broken at all!! We are in a wait and see moment right now!! Would DCL put any restrictions on her if she is in a cast??? (other than normal precautions)

 

[wdwscout]

Pixie Dust headed your way!

I hope she's not in too much pain.

If she does need a cast- ask about a waterproof liner and fiberglass cast. Some situations allow for that- and it would sure be nice to have on a cruise!(if it's appropriate for her)

If she needs a cast or not- have the doctor give you a note stating what she can or cannot do.
If she has no restrictions, then you can show it to the staff.

i seen kids in casts on the ship before.

Good News!! My DD did not break her wrist, just a very bad sprain. She is not in a hard cast, just a velcro brace and pain meds The doctor gave us the ok to continue with our plans!!! We are glad as we begin our land portion on Saturday!! Thanks for the pixie dust WDW scout!

 

[wdwscout]

Great news!

 

[Paragd911]

Yeaa... my 16 DD broke her leg the day before we left for WDW 3 years ago..I know what you are going though......

 

[saksn4]

Our younger DD is our "graceful" one!! She is the one we have already made 3 trips to the ER! Our older DD, had a rough start (she was a premie), but is very healthy and cautious!!!
Tomorrow is the big reveal in our house!! I have prepared a special message to put into the girls stockings to let them know about the cruise. They think we are only going for the land portion of our vacation! So far, I truly do not think they know about the cruise...only 1 more day to keep the secret!

 

[wdwscout]

Oh- how fun!
I'm sure they will be surprised!

 

[Paragd911]

Merry Christmas !!

Not sure when everyone is traveling, but have a safe trip and hope to meet you onboard.

We are leaving on Monday and I still don't even have the suit cases out or any idea what I'm taking--other than the FE gifts. Any word from WINMO on their room number?
