I have two days to go until I start my second Disney Cruise vacation with my Daughter. We are going on the September Double Dip and we're taking my best adult girlfriend along with. We have been planning this trip and chatting on our cruise meets thread since January. I have had such a great time chatting with my sailing buddies and reading previous cruisers trip reports that I have decided to take the laptop and try to do a live thread. This will be the first day of the live (almost) report.
I have managed to get some items sorted into tubs, but packing has eluded me. I don't know why, but I am having a mental block to packing! Has this happened to anyone else? It just hasn't hit me yet that we're leaving tomorrow and I am overwhelmed with all the stuff I have to do before we leave. I am leaving tomorrow for my friend's house then we'll go to the airport Thursday night. The house is a disaster area and loads (literally, loads) of laundry need to be done, the fridge needs to be cleaned out and I have to work today. It's 3:30am and I work 9-5 so, yeah, I am losing sleep. I woke up about an hour ago, and instead of starting a load of clothes, I jumped on the laptop and started this thread....
Just threw a load in to stave off the creeping guilt.
Guess I should do a cast list for this cruise...
Me ~ The Mom ~ True Disney Addict
DD ~ 9, soon to be 10 ~ Along for the Ride
DBF ~ PurpleTart ~ Best Friend of 14+ years
DD and I did the 7 day post hurricane cruise in October 2004 and had such a good time we're doing it again. I called my Best Friend, I am gonna' call her "PT" from now on (I'll be referring to her a lot) in January 2006 when I booked our trip and invited her and her husband along...he declined, so it's a "Girlfriend's Only Cruise" We're calling it The "Not Your Average Disney Princess Cruise"
Other members of our cruise have started to leave the cruise meets thread and head down to Orlando, which is sad, but hopefully some of us will meet at MNSSHP this Friday! I was put in charge of planning all excursions for PT and DD so I decided last month to get MNSSHP tickets as we'll be in Florida anyways! DD and I went in 2004, I highly recommend it! A good time was had by all! This will be our only day at the parks
I just don't have a lot a vacation time this year; and we have Carlos Mencia tickets on Sunday the 24th...we have to be back home then! I live in Oregon, PT lives in Washington State so there was No Way I was going to fly all the way to Florida and not go to Mickey's House. PT has never been to WDW
I grew up in Buena Vista, so we went every month at least while I was growing up. I remember when it was only the MK and the River water park...what's the name of the first water park? It escapes me now, but I spent many a day with the big black inner tubes there...."River Country" or something like that... hmmm can't recall.
Anyways, it will be neat seeing WDW through PT's eyes! DD wants to beat feet to Stitch's Great Escape. We missed it in 2004 as the hurricanes pushed back the opening date..
So, first stop will be Tomorrowland. O.K. I had better get moving... it's gonna' be light out soon, a clear sign to shower and get ready for work. This is going to be a long report ~ multiple posts a day are assured! I am a chatty chick!
