[DisneyAndRedSox]

UPS just delivered our cruise documents! I want to remind everyone who wants to participate in the FE to please PM your info we only have 2 families so far! The list is on PG 22

Later today I will start to go through the thread and look for anyone that expressed an interest and send them a PM with the deadline incase they missed it.

Wow, I have NOOOO idea how to do this, so I hope that this post! My family and I will be on the Dream Feb. 13th! This is our first Disney cruise and we are very excited! I will be celebrating my 40th birthday, whoo hooo! I have bought a FE but have no idea what to do with it other then to hang it off a fish that will be outside our door...? Any help out there as to what I do with it would be really appreciated, LOL! I hope we meet lots of wonderful new friends!

I'm celebrating my 40th Birthday too When is your birthday? Mine is the 15th! Castaway Cay day and I'm looking forward to relaxing on a beautiful beach. Especially now since we just got 11" of snow and it's not over yet

Your documents are basicly the same papers you fill out online and your luggage tags, They will have more tags at the port no worries. It is just neat to get the cool little spiral bound book with your info. Sometimes your TA will have them sent to their office rather than your home( don't know why).I guess it probably does have something to do with booking with points. Don't give up hope they still could be on their way. and I agree on bringing your own bottle of wine for the room I for sure wouldn't hold my breath that they will leave one but again you may?

My husband turned 40 on the 10th, my b-day is the 24th. We have about a foot of snow here but the mounds and drifts are much higher, expecting a little more tomorrow. I have totally had enough of the snow, hoping we get it all over with now so it doesn't snow when I fly down on the 10th!

So where are you going in Nassau? We were going to book Atlantis waterpark, but DD is too short for most of the slides. Now we are looking at the Atlantis Beach day.

At least I can just walk on my own wine and don't have to smuggle it like on Royal Caribbean!

So I am about to call the Travel Agent about the travel docs and the UPS truck pulls up... The envelope is from Orlando!

We were talking about spending the day at the Blue Lagoon. I've been wanting to go there for a while. We would really like to take DS to the Atlantis waterpark, but he's not quite tall enough either. Someday. We took him to Atlantis to see teh Dig a few years ago.

We have about 9 inches of snow, yuck! But the good news is that I got my travel documents today so it brought a smile to my face

YEAH

So this cruise is full of a bunch of 40 somthings I just turned 40 too!

 

[StlCruiser]

No docs for us yet Maybe tomorrow.

We got our documents today! Boy how they have changed from our last cruise. Much more simple. No upgrade though . . . Still in our 11b.

DW is in her 40's, but I passed the crest of the hill last year. 50 and coasting down.

 

[egesicki]

We got ours today too! It will make a really nice little keepsake.

I turn 39 again later this year too, nice to know I'll be in good company.

Forecast for NE WI tomorrow is -35 windchill. Can't wait for warm sunny weather.

We have been getting all that snow in Ohio since about 1:00. Can't decide whether to snow blow tonight or get up early in the morning . . .

Both. I wish I would have.

 

[Jhalkias]

Going to do it in the morning. I HATE doing it twice. Ours is not going to let up until about 3 am. Early morning tomorrow!

BTW . . . had not noticed that CC is not on our last night. Kind of nice. I always hated the hassle of packing the night after CC. That last day at sea should be relaxing.

Our's came UPS...and I felt bad for the guy because we didn't shovel the 8-9 inches of snow on our sidewalk to the front door. We shoveled the driveway...but wasn't expecting visitors so was going to wait on the sidewalk til the snow was completely done.

I saw on a Dream navigator that was posted on the boards that Buzz and Woody was on board. This will make my kiddos soooo happy!!!! They have been asking if they were joining us since they saw the commercials with Buzz and Woody being on board!

 

[frangi]

We haven't gotten ours yet! Sad!!! Plus we are still gty!!! I'm dying to know what room we are going to be in.

Karl and I are both in our 40's also. I'll be turning 46 right after the cruise so I will be celebrating on board. It's Karl's first cruise!!! So we're celebrating!!! LOL

Hey, Let's just celebrate!!!

I did the FE last time and it was fun, but I'm not sure Karl will be into it. Since we are two old folks!!! LOL!!! I'd love to me up and say hi tho to everyone.

Karl is not keen on boats so he's a little nervous about it!!! I keep telling him he'll be fine (fingers crossed!!!)

Started thinking about packing--It's all coming up so fast since I won't have any days off till we leave!!

Hope everyone is getting excited!!

Oh gee, another snow day here today. DD is in her 3rd year of preschool (fall b-day and missed the kindergarten cut-off, so bored out her mind on a daily basis) and only has school 3 days a week for 2.5 hours. Don't get me wrong I love being with my daughter, but if I am ever going to start making door decorations and pack our toiletry bags I need her out of this house! As soon as she sees the toiletry bags come out she goes nuts! Remember on show Gilligan's Island how some of the castaways had a year's worth of clothes and they were on a 3 hour tour... THAT IS MY DAUGHTER!

Packing for this is going to be such a pain! We are doing Thurs-Sun in Orlando, the cruise, then Thurs-Sun back in Orlando. On the bright side my parents are staying back at the timeshare and can hold my extra stuff and even do our laundry from the first few days. I guess I am going to pack the cruise stuff in a separate bag, but I know I am also going to need some cold weather clothes for Orlando- do I need any for the cruise?
