2007 DVC Member Cruise - SSMC07 - October 21, 2007

Do most people that are dressing up for pirate night..dress for dinner if they have early seating?

Can you tell I am trying to figure out how many dinner clothes sets I need!

 

[COACHSTING]

The wife is wondering if we should bring Dramamine aboard or if they have it available, having something else, etc....just in case. Thanks.....

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone!

Stacey - most who dress for pirate night do go to dinner in their pirate clothes. Remember we have a group pirate photo shoot between the dinner seatings (details in the mini nav).

Bill - we always pack a small vial of dramamine but have never needed it. They do have Bonine for free down on deck 1 outside the medical office.

Our suitcases are out of the attic and our clothes rack is in the dining room where we stage for our trips. We leave 10 days from now.

We have another Member Gallery Update

Russ (RevRuss) and his DW Susan have joined ud.

Good Morning all, DH got back from Thailand yesterday. We had a nice romantic dinner and movie night while the kids were entertained at my aunt's house. Today we are just relaxing and going grocery shopping for my DS's birthday dinner. Poor baby has football practice on his birthday and the coach(his father) won't give him the day off. Well off to get my morning cup of coffee.

Now, if anyone gets motion sickness, it's me. However, I seem to not be as bad as I used to be when I first cruised. I figure since I now cruise Disney all the time, it must be the Disney pixie dust that comes my way.

What I do is take 1/2 bonine about noon on the day we sail. It always seems to me that the roughest waters are after we leave the port when we reach the Atlantic and going down the coast. Walmart sells them pretty darn cheap over the counter.

But, I've tried everything.....patches, wristbands, prescription drugs, etc....but the 1/2 bonine seems to work well and doesn't make me sleepy or thirsty!

Just droppping in to say hello...And to all you Angels fans just to remind you.

[WDWLVR]

Sending pixie dust to all those that aren't feeling 100%. May you be better soon.

Sending pixie dust to all those (myself included) who haven't gotten our docs yet. May the pixie dust speed the UPS man on his way.

Last but not least a little pixie dust for safe travels to everyone. I know some are heading out early so thought I would get this up now.

 

[dopey67]

No documents in Mass if anyone it trying to track

 

[WDWLVR]

Pauline - I meant to mention this last night and forgot. If you want to send a copy of the list to me I'll be happy to put it up on the website as well. That way everyone knows before the cruise who is participating. Between that and Linda's listing in the mini-nav I think we will have everyone covered.

Let me know.

 

[DVCkidsMOM]

Thanks for the pixie dustings - I'm now doing the UPS delivered our doc.s this morning dance!
As far as motion sickness, coughs and colds I'm including my experiences and strategies below - treat like a salad bar and take only those things you think you'd like...
I've been taking ginger capsules for motion sickness since last cruise. DH stuck with Bonine until he saw ginger on MythBusters. You know, I have no authority as DW, but the MythBusters... We now stock ginger and will take 2 with breakfast before boarding and if we're noticing any movement take another as needed. I'm glad I found something that works for us and can be used even after feeling ill if we've forgotten to take it before.
As far as colds go, we significantly decrease the length and severity of our colds with: olive leaf, elderberry, esterC and zinc, and/or airborne. We are currently retesting our theories and hoping for success within a week so we're well when we leave for WDW/DCL/WDW! DD has gotten over cold (started Thursday at bed-time) but now has cough so we will continue the elderberry and olive leaf and add to it deglycyrrhizinated (so it doesn't raise blood-pressure) licorice root extract. Start antibiotics for her ear infection today (pharmacy had to order it when it wasn't available Friday) with probiotics on the side to keep digestion normal.
All-in-all, I'm feeling pretty lucky. Nothing major and we're getting the minor out of the way before we go.
Thanks to all of you who are making significant efforts on everyone's behalf with mini-nav.s, FE lists, buttons. This is going to be so much fun

Wishing everyone to get feeling better soon.

We got our docs in Philadelphia today. Somehow holding them makes the cruise seem closer.
