5/17/03 Eastern Cruise.. Who is going?

[I Luv Disney Cruise]

I was thinking one month from today we are on the ship, how is that possible. Am I wrong on when the ship leaves port?

Then I saw how you are comparing 17th of April to 17th of May.

But, actually if you count from Thursday to Thursday is one week.
So, it really is 4 weeks 2 days from today that we are on the ship leaving port.

But, what is a two day difference any way who cares it is around the corner!?

Ok, now that I have bored you all I will sign off for now.

Our docs were printed today. We should have them by the end of next week. (DH had to call because he got a notice to serve jury duty the week we leave. I sent him to work with our confirmation sheets and he sent the originals along with the form to be excused.) At least I have some idea as to when I can start stalking FedEx and UPS!!

2 days after we'll be on our way to Florida then 4 weeks tomorrow we'll be on that ship!

 

[ToDisney]

I'm starting to panic, too. I KNOW everyone here needs clothes!!

We'll be at the Radisson. I think we're gonna keep the boys out of school that day and leave here early. That would put us at the Radisson around 5 pm. There's me (Diane), DH (Bob), and our 3 DSs (Jonathan 12 1/2, Nicholas 9 next month and Jake 3).

 

[BunnyMom]

So slad to hear there will be boys my DS's age. My DS is 10 and will be thrilled to hear about your sons ToDisney.

Woohoo!!! 38 days til BonVoyage!!!!

We're at the Raddison too!!! Myself, my sister, her daughter, son-in-law and grandson age 7. We arrive Orlando app. 5 and are renting a minivan to drive over.
Hoping to meet all of you there. 4 weeks, but who's counting?

We're at the Radisson too. Be there about 3:30 or 4. Will be looking for lime green at the pool. Managed to get some lime green Mickeys from Home Depot. Will try to get some more in case anyone wants them.

I'm going to be a basket case... the closer it gets, the more excited I get. I'm worse than the kids!!!

Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

Hi,

have had a beautiful day here. Just went to Home Depot to get my Mickey paint swatches. Got both colors. Alien green is probably the best one though.

Got my tanktop out for boarding the ship. It worked last time to meet Dis members, so I hope it will work again. Lime green with blue poka dots, and Mickey on the front. The mickey is small though. If you see me, say hi!!!!

When I told my husband I was going to start packing, he told me I was crazy.

Hope you all had a great day!!!

Donna

 

[ToDisney]

I still need to get our paint swatches. I think I'm going to laminate ours and hang them from our lanyards?

I said the exact thing to DH last night... that I needed to start packing and he looked at me like I had lost my mind!!

I have no idea what I'll wear when boarding the ship, but I just got my dress for Tropicali night!!

 

[donnabres]

Just read that semi-formal night is 1st. I may be in trouble. The dress that I had for formal night, which I figured was 1st might not fit me later in the week. Help!!!!! Maybe I'll have to go buy something else. Husband will kill me.

I washed shorts and shirts yesterday, will be ironing later this week, and laying them all out. That will make me really feel that we are going soon.

Have a great week, and just think, only 3 1/2 weeks to go.

Donna

 

[ToDisney]

Hmmm... hadn't planned on the boys eating with us on formal or semi-formal nights. Guess this will change things. And maybe I won't have to have my formal gown taken in after all... LOL!!

 

[SQUIGGLE]

Do you think Home Depot is wondering why the "Alien Green" Mickeys are going faster than the others?

I don't think you are crazy for packing. I've started a small pile of things on the edge of the bureau. Soon as it's a little bigger - out come the suitcases!!! Only 18 more work days.

Watched the Travel channel show again - bad move!!

[UKANGEL]

not fair! wish we got to see DCL on the travel channel over here too!!

Oh well, just have to wait for the real thing!

I have a huge pile of clothes and stuff on top of my case on the floor of my bedroom.......just begging to be ironed and packed!

 

[donnabres]

So glad to know that I am not the only one to plan and pack early. I do find that the planning is almost as much fun as the actual vacation. I feel that I need to have something to look forward to.
Guess it's time to think about our next vacation. If I have something booked, then I don't get depressed. Maybe the Western next year?
Raining today, so maybe a good day to do some ironing. I think that I'll feel a lot better once my summer clothes are all set to put into the cases.
Squiggle, I caught the Sat. 3 o'clock showing on the travel channel, and was babysitting 3 of my grandchildren. Made them watch it too. The 6 yr old said, Nana I want to go too.

With 7 of them, kind of hard to pick 1 to take.
Have a great day.

Hi Everyone,

I've been reading your posts since February when we booked our 5/17 cruise. I finally decided I should introduce myself since I feel I know all of you!

This is my family's first Disney cruise, although technically it shouldn't be. We were scheduled to go on the 11/30/2002 cruise that was cancelled because of the Norwalk virus. So, we are doubly psyched! Traveling with me will be my DH, my DS (8) and my DD(5). We are going with my DH's family. A total of 21 of us. 13 adults and 8 kids! I'm sure you won't miss us.

As Donnabres has been posting, it has been a long cold winter up here in the Northeast and we definately need this vacation!

Has the DIS meet been offically been scheduled? Catch me up to speed!
