OK! Fish extender is done, two sets of t-shirts are done, shopping is nearly completed. I'm working every day between now and the day before we leave (which is unusual, I'm a sub teacher and have a two-day a week job at a church, but we need the money for the trip so I'm taking everything available!), trying to get that last-minute shopping done -- it's getting closer!

Here is an updated list with all the additions everyone has made!

Luv2Plan -- Dana and dad Gray, Max (5), Gray (9), room 7518
VegasLover - Lydia and Dan, Elsa (4), 6581
ILuvJimny -- Jean and Curt, Jarom (15), Kurt (15), 2101
JenBill5 -- Jen & Davin, Alea (4)
SpeaksFam -- boy (11), boy (7)
1Eyedguy -- Diane, Matty (5)
LexSea -- girl (6)
erincon23 -- Erin and Kevin, Greg (16), Andy (13), 2652

Fill in the blanks if you'd like!

I have all my FE shopping finished as well!
I just need to produce my actual fish extender!

I've started packing a few things as well! I keep reviewing the ship layout, too!

Can't wait to meet you all!!

 

[Vegaslover]

I seriously don't know how I'll have time to pack. But it's coming together!


My issue is with the weather in Orlando. Hot in the day and cool at night. Not unlike Vegas. It's almost like you have to pack two sets of clothes per day. And, I pray that no one catches a cold on our trip. I was sick in Vegas once and it sucked! I know it's just down right hot in the caribbean.

 

[luv2plan]

I've been checking the 10 day weather outlook (only two more days until Orlando forecast for my trip) & it has Orlando warmer than Nassau!

I sure hopes it gets into the 80's everyday! Right now Nassau is 77!

It should be easy for me to start packing because we aren't wearing shorts around here yet, or swimsuits!

Our family...
me--Jen (32)
DH--Davin (33)
DD--Alea (4)

 

[JenBill5]

Hmmm...reviewing the ship layout....I think I'll add that to my to do list. Good idea.

 

[Vegaslover]

I review that ship layout all the time. When I get on the ship, I just look to see where the people are getting their food.
It really is like a big city on the water. I love the location of my stateroom.

I hope it's warm in castaway cay. Elsa wants to get in the ocean so I don't want us to be freezing. I'm terrified of her getting in, maybe because I am not a great swimmer. She has no fear but I have enough for both of us. Maybe I should wear water wings too.

 

[luv2plan]

Maybe we can meet up at the beach for awhile? We lived in San Diego for 10 years & my boys grew up at the ocean!

My older son, Gray, loves the waves! He will wander out there until he is neck deep if I don't yell at him. He also does not care how cold it is! We would go to the beach in winter (50's & 60's, but sunny), mostly to play in the sand, and eventually, Gray would be chest high in the water. Max is just starting to like jumping in the waves. He will play in the sand for hours. We are bringing some beach toys with us...I hope I end up with enough room!

Have a great night! And good luck packing!

 

[JenBill5]

Our cruise docs came in the mail yesterday.

I bought some sand toys last weekend to take with us.

 

[luv2plan]

Oh my gosh! I am so excited I can hardly stand it!

All this chatting is making it seem so much more real!

We will be in WDW in just 11 days!

 

[luv2plan]

I just noticed little Alea & Elsa are the same age! How cute! And Matty & Max are the same age too!
This is going to be so much FUN!

 

[Vegaslover]

Elsa has been marking her calendar everyday. She can't wait to make new friends.

 

[Vegaslover]

Has anyone figured out what movies they are showing?

 

[erincon23]

The FAQ has a phone number you can call a week ahead. Guess we've got another week still until we can call. Any preferences? I'd like to see Witch Mountain... don't know what else would be new.

Erin

 

[JenBill5]

I am looking forward to Witch Mountain. Mostly because I am really looking forward to a NEW movie that is appropriate for the whole family.

FYI: They sell eye patches at Wal-Mart.

 

[luv2plan]

I got an UPGRADE!! I checked my voicemail & had a call from Disney Cruise Line saying
I was being given an upgrade to a cat 5! My new cabin number is 7518!!

I'll be packing all week! Just getting started tomorrow! Have a great evening & a great week!

 

[JenBill5]

WOW!!! I am so jealous!!!
Is anybody thinking about booking their next cruise while on board?

 

[erincon23]

Hey Luv, that's great! What cat number did you start at? Can any of us hold out hope for an (additional, in our case) upgrade? I'll add your cabin number to the list on the previous page.

CAN'T WAIT!!!!!! I'm organizing all our travel info, putting it into one folder for WDW, another for the cruise. I mailed a box to myself yesterday (to the condo we're staying in), bought new pants for the boys (someone took Greg's black dress pants from the boy's dressing room after the school play he was in last week, and he needs them for the school band and choir performances next week), and I'm working on the last little things!

That is too cool! Jen, there are still cabins open for families of three so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for both of us. I'm still happy very happy with my stateroom!

 

[luv2plan]

Thanks everyone!

We were a cat 8, maybe someone else will get our old cabin??

I've been shopping too. I got the boys matching plaid shorts & a new swim dress/cover up for me. I had a pirate t-shirt made for my dad, says Grandpa on it! He also has goofy pirate ears to wear!

I hope I have enough room for everything in my two suitcases!

Erin, what is your WDW schedule? We arrive Sat at noon, going directly to Blizzard Beach, Sun DHS & Fantasmic, Mon Epcot. That's it. My kids did not want to go to MK. Tuesday we get grandpa at the airport & go to Cocoa Beach for beach & swim day. Weds Kennedy Space Center, Thursday Disney Wonder 10:30AM!!
