Ill try to post pictures tonight. Sad to hear about the weather, but it can change. Hope it does.

This is me, Danielle and my husband Russ. We can't wait to meet everyone!

Ok, it's down to the wire for us and we are sooooo disorganized! Finally got our FE's together -- not handmade -- don't be disappointed.


Here's the 20 million dollar question -- we are NOT going to Palo or Remy -- so do the guys need sports coats and ties for dinner?? I thought they did NOT need them for regular restaurants but now my husband just decided to start doing some reading and found a website that said the third or fourth night requires a coat and tie for guys.

HELP.....

Thanks a mil!

Jackets are not required for the rotational dining rooms. Some folks wear them, but they are certainly not required - not on a 4 night sailing anyway... Longer sailings have formal nights, that may be what he was reading about.

Tammy - your husband has a mini-me!!! Cameron is too cute!!

Danielle - We are neighbors!!! I'm in Baldwin - just a few towns away

Thank you...most people say Cameron looks like me until they meet Marlon!

It's the same with my husband and son... They are so much alike - it's scary... lol

Very nice, one of my best friend lives right on the boarder of oceanside and baldwin.

 

[Dizpinfriend]

It's a Small World afterall I work in Oceanside (in fact i'm here now... shhhhhhh) lol

 

[tammyj0927]

Did any of you request specific dining rotations? I read on another thread that the best restaurant for Pirate night was AP. I put in my request but of course they let me know that it would not be guaranteed.

 

[cherylp3]

I did not. I think my Remy dinner is on pirate night though.

It's BOTH of our faults! I am the one who was your wedding twin and spent our entire Disneymoon in a poncho. I can laugh now!!!

Oh Amy, wasn't that horrible?! I didn't know you were on this cruise too.....we are just going to have to deliver that sun!!!!

Amy, are you bringing your wedding ears to wear on your anniversary? We should get our pic taken together with our ears and Anniversary pins on! If you don't have the pins, maybe one of our peeps can pick them up for you, if they are visiting the world first!

Your family photos are all precious! Love it!

Don't worry about the weather. We once pulled up to Castaway Cay and it was raining off and on. They wound up cancelling a few excursions but added a ton more onboard activities. Plus it cleared up enough to go enjoy the beach anyway. It was overcast and breezy but not super windy, and it was a warm breeze anyway. The water was fine, so the kids had a blast, and the beach was not as crowded since many decided to stay on the ship. Brave a few raindrops and have another drink

 

[DisneyCrazMom]

Lets see if I did this correctly.

Here we all are, about a year old so my kids are taller and looking a bit older.

 

[Dziactor]

Here are the only pictures I have at the office. Mine is from last year. DW's is from a while ago.

 

[Scrappy_Tink]

Everybody has such lovely looking families!!!

Well, here's Gregg and I...this was taken last Oct at The Boardwalk....

Our Wedding day, after have a mini-breakfast/reception at Grand Floridian Cafe

You'll also be able to recognize me, because when It's chilly, I will be wearing my white jacket with this

Also, today, I'd like to apologize for being such a Debbie Downer lately. I'm usually a positive, upbeat person!! I had taken 1 1/2 weeks from work BEFORE the cruise to relax....do last minute shopping, spring cleaning (I HATE coming home to a messy house...but who am I kidding, my 17 year old son will be here! ), packing, laundry. I'm usually like BubbasMom, all packed up, with suitcases lined up at the door a week before.

My first day off work, my son got sick with strep...then my dogs illness was getting worse. THEN my husband got sick, and I had to put my dog to sleep. Last, but not least, I got sick too.

Sooooooooo, here I am (finally starting to feel human again!)! Waiting for the stores to open so I can do some last-minute shopping, need to do laundry, PACK, find all my cords to electrical gadgets (camera battery chargers, phones, IPad, etc), and clean house. Oh yeah, and buy enough groceries for two teenaged boys (That alone will break the bank!! ) My son already told me about his "Wild Party" he's going to throw this weekend. He's such a geek. Picture the guys from Big Bang Theory having a wild party, and that would be my son and his friends. BUT, just in case, I've told the neighbors to call the cops if they hear any loud noises or see a bunch of cars in front of the house....and told Jake if he's not good, he'll get his computer, X-BOX, and cell phone taken away for a month.

I feel kind of guilty leaving him home for our Anniversary Cruise, but he's good with it. We had a Mom & Son 5 day WDW trip last year, and he's getting a laptop for graduation in two weeks that he will need in college *sniff* my boy is growing up! Hopefully, at 6'3", he's done really growing!! Here's a pic of us in Denver....he just one 1st place in State for Computer Programing through SkillsUSA.

Well, I chatted enough for now! Time to get shopping, packing, cleaning, oh my!!

Can't wait for Sunday!!!

Oooh, I didn't even think of that! We don't have anniversary buttons yet so if anyone is going to be at WDW before the cruise we would be SO grateful if you'd grab some for us!

 

[Dizpinfriend]

OK - starting to feel the pressure now!!! My darling husband brought the luggage down from the attic - and I keep walking past them with the intention of starting the packing process... I feel like Santa - making my lists and checking them twice.. The multiple parades to and from my laundry room have begun, and I am gearing up to get it done...

I have my appointments for hair, manicure, and spray tan ready to go!!

We fly in to Orlando early afternoon on Saturday - i'm hoping to weasel in a short trip into the Magic Kingdom, just to get a little sprinkling of Pixie Dust pre-cruise...

 

[bubbasmom99]

I made my Pirate night shirts (iron-ons) last night and packed them, so all clothes are now packed, with the exception of Sarah's extra swimsuit and 2 skirts, due in from Lands End tomorrow hopefully.

Everything else is last minute - chargers, phones, curling iron, toothbrushes... Luckily we leave midday so there won't be staying up late or a half-asleep morning rush.

The rain in the extended forecast is freaking me out but I'm just going to have to deal with it. Like they say, a rainy day at Disney World is a hundred times better than a sunny day anywhere else.
