Good morning

Mandy - I'm glad you are having fun at the parks despite Fay. Have a good day today. I'm really enjoying hearing about your trip so far!

Laurie - I hope your day improves dramatically today! I'm sorry the vacation started in such a bad way Keep us updated - hopefully today you can get out of the hotel and have some fun!

Sandy - Have a safe flight. I hope everything goes smoothly for you!

Michele - Where are you? Hope all is going well

Diane - Have a safe drive and have a great time rock hunting!

Jen - I too still have piles all over. I will try to drag out the suitcases today and actually start putting some stuff in them. My nieces slept over last night and want to help me pack up the FE stuff so then that will be done. I can't believe you have 37 degrees I woke up to 50's and was so cold! Good luck getting everything done!

Danielle - Hope all the cheering helped get your packing done!

Hello to all I missed. Safe trips to all traveling today! If you are already in FL hope that Fay goes away quickly and you have lots of fun despite the weather!

So, a few errands to run this morning and the suitcases will come out. I have been obsessively watching the weather channel too. I'll check back later today

I haven't exactly packed, but I did manage to get 2 weeks worth of clothes laid out and will be getting them in my suitcase as soon as Derek gets it down from the attic. The rest of our packing is just cameras, chargers, snorkel stuff, etc.

I hope everyone else is getting their packing done and if they are on their way, having a safe/fun trip.

Mandy/Debi/Laurie, I hope it's not too rainy for you guys today. Please let us know how everything goes today. Is it hot/humid or chilly in any way? I'm trying to decide if I should pack a sweatshirt or lightweight jacket. We'll have ponchos, but I wanted to know if we needed anything heavier that a t-shirt/shorts.

Packing whats that??? I still haven't started, maybe tonight....John's cousin who was coming on the cruise had a stroke so now we are trying to see if we can switch the cruise to someone else and if we can then we have to find someone...so that has take presidence over packing....but I guess we really should start lol...

 

[Hanover]

I'm officially packed! We also dowloaded our boarding passes, so we are all set. Only a few more things on our check list and we can go in vacation mode!

 

[msteddom]

This is what I have ahead of me today ! I need to pack today, because I am heading down to my parents house in San Diego tomorrow. My mom is coming up to Anaheim and we are going to lunch and seeing the Terra Cotta Soldier exhibit at a local museum, then I'm driving us back down south.
Then I spend two days in San Diego and we fly out Saturday morning. I'm really excited about the exhibit, especially since I'm not going to China any time soon to see them there!

Woohoo !!!! thanks Jen

Laurie, I'm pleased that you arrived safely. I hope everyone who has travelled today has arrived safely too

Hey Bahama Mama's

We had another fab day despite the blooming rain We changed our SeaWorld plans to Disney Hollywood Studios and we had a great morning. We rode the new Toy Story Mania ride - and loved it, along with Tower of Terror and RnRc

This evening, Paul & I went to Epcot, and Restaurant Marrakesh and had a wonderful meal (and cocktails ) there

Tomorrow we'll be at morning EMH's at MK and then we've got our first ever visit to Cinderella's Royal Table too. Unfortunately, our drive to Port Canaveral has had to be changed too, as the Disney Wonder is leaving from Fort Lauderdale tomorrow

Keep well everyone, and I can't wait to see you on Sunday

We are finally in the double digits for hours until sailaway! Thanks Jen!

Danielle - Have a safe trip down!

Heather - Time to start packing! I hope your fiance's cousin is OK

Sandy - Hope you made it down to FL safe and sound

Melissa - Have fun with your Mom at the exhibit and have a safe trip to FL

Mandy - I'm glad you are having a great time despite Fay! Enjoy having breakfast with Cinderella tomorrow morning!

Laurie - I was thinking about you today and hoping that your day was much better than yesterday

Hope everyone else is doing great too!

So my FE stuff is done and packed. All the clothes are ready for the suitcases (which were never pulled out today). Tomorrow is and finally getting the suitcases packed. At least the weather looks better for the weekend (I feel bad for everyone who has to rearrange their plans to Ft. Lauderdale on the Wonder tomorrow). Its been a tough day and I am going to bed now. I really am ready for a vacation!

 

[xoxheather420oxo]

We did it we packed well at least mostly just gotta wait for Laundry to be done to finish it up lol..but its mostly done wooohooo now we just have to wait till Saturday morning....I can't wait to be in Florida!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sandym]

We're here! We're here!

We got in about 3:30 today and were greeted by rain, rain and more rain.
It wasn't too bad though, we donned our ponchos and headed for EMH at Animal Kingdom. I rained off and on but we got quite a bit done. After the park we headed to Downtown Disney for a quick bite at Earl of Sandwich. Now the girls are showered and sound asleep. Me, I'm catching up on work and the headed to the shower myself.

Travel safe everyone.

Laurie I hope your day is dryer tomorrow.

 

[Hanover]

Good morning,

We are at the Springhill Suites next to BWI. I'm up and ready but the boys are all still sleeping.

Our flight is on time so we should be arriving at MCO around noon.

Sandy, was everything operating at AK including the safari? We were thinking of going there this afternoon.

I hope everyone traveling today has a safe trip.

To all those still packing, good luck

I hope everyone already in Florida gets better weather today.

I'm listening to the weather channel and it says Melbourne's had over 16 inches of rain. I'm wondering if they'll have us go out of Ft. Lauderdale too?

Sandy, do you know if TA's notify guests or would DCL? We'll keep checking the website, I was just wondering if we'd have any official notification if they did switch ports.

See you all soon!

Hope all of you already in FL are having a good time!

Hope all of you still packing are almost ready to go!

Most of my stuff is in suitcases. Clothes and FE stuff are all packed now its just the last minute things like diapers, goggles, etc. that need to be done. I'm off to charge all the cameras, ipods, and such. I have to go get some sleep since I have to get up early tomorrow to get boarding passes then I'll be up really early on Saturday.

I would notify my guests but not sure if all TA's would.
As of now Disney is still planning on us going out of Port Canaveral.

Yay, thanks Jen

As of now Disney is still planning on us going out of Port Canaveral.

Thank goodness, I really felt for all those who had to travel down to Fort Lauderdale today, I hope they're having a nice Cruise and that Fay isn't too bad down there

*************​

Well Bahama Mama's, I have never been soooooooooo wet in WDW, as I was today. We went to Magic Kingdom for morning EMH's, and the girls met their friends there. We had our first visit to CRT, which was very nice

Tonight, we got absoultely soaked at Epcot I'm getting fed up of this horrible weather, though I know it's going to be gone in a day or so

We haven't got any plans for tomorrow as yet. The girls want to do more shopping, and then we've got dinner at Chef Mickey's at 6.15pm

Have a great journey everyone who is travelling tomorrow, I hope you bring some hot, sunny weather with you

I can't wait to see you all on Sunday - take care
