That is great about your stateroom. You are close to us, we are in 2566.

WOW !!! That is great !! a few of us on deck 2 !!

How did I make multi-quote ????

 

[MICKEY'S DREAMERS]

Ok, so I'm still on track to do a secret upgrade for the family when we check in.

I got the part that we need to get there early to checkin and head down to the supervisors desk. I also read on the main board that they usually have a laminated card that shows them CM what to charge from category to category for that cruise.

Here's my question - I read on the main board that it's allowed for one person to bring all the docs to check in even if the others are not present.

If this is true, assuming that one person comes early and the rest of the family trails along later, how does the rest of the family get in the terminal. Don't they have to have their documents?

Thoughts?

Ben

I'm sure that "uncle Andrew" or someone else has the right answer ...

We are non-US resident - and I know that Disney wants both of us to be there IN PERSON at check in .

Maybe that US citizens can enter the terminal just showing ID and reservation # ?

OR YOU could exit the terminal AFTER CHECK IN ... and go "collect" your family ...
We did exit the terminal ( after check in) two years ago - as we needed to meet a friend at the parking lot !

We have our fingers crossed that the rain will finally go away by Thursday night. My Dad was asked to throw out the first pitch for our local minor league team, the ValleyCats. And what great timing - we are having a surprise 45th anniversary party for my parents on Saturday so the whole family should be in by Thursday night to go to the game.

GOOD LUCK and fingers crossed for NICE WEATHER !!! for your Saturday party !!!!!

JEN: how is your throat ???

laura

Hello Laura!

My throat is actually much better now that I have been up for a bit...BUT...my nose will NOT stop running! The good thing is, I don't feel all that bad and I am working on laundry a bit. We are trying to get a bunch of the packing done.

Since we will go to the lake this weekend and next weekend, we really only have 8 more days at home until we go!

Have a great evening!!!!!

When you get to the port entrance, they will have a full list of everyone cruising, this is at the car park gates, the walk in entrance etc etc, now you are required to show Photo ID. I would have thought if you (all)have photo ID you would be ok, even if one has gone in before with the reservation stuff, now an idea print off an extra cruise confirmation of the internet and give that to the following party as ''insurance''

I had that last week, sore throat very runny nose, sneezing, then a few days later my right ear hurt, someone at work was the same, now no fever no loss of appetite, so not H1N1, but so many people have it I think its a milder form thats come of it.

All i can say re the runny nose its a swine! ( well it isnt)

 

[kritter]

Kristin, what adorable dresses!!! and I had to laugh at "wicked" cute - I haven't heard anyone use that adjective in such a long time!! It was my college roommate's favorite saying!! (dating myself here. LOL)

We have our fingers crossed that the rain will finally go away by Thursday night. My Dad was asked to throw out the first pitch for our local minor league team, the ValleyCats. And what great timing - we are having a surprise 45th anniversary party for my parents on Saturday so the whole family should be in by Thursday night to go to the game.

...we've been "off" the home computer for a while so I promise that Tess will email Amanda back today!!

Gotta get to work. Have a great day everyone!!! (...yes, it is raining here AGAIN...)

Jude,

That is "wicked" funny.....LOL!!!!!! By the end of the cruise I will have you saying wicked...... !!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone,
We received devastating news on the weekend.
One of our twins was diagnosed with a small brain tumor and is scheduled for surgery in the next couple of days.
If all goes well ( the doctors are quite optimistic ), there is a period of recovery of several weeks.
Obviously, we are going to have to cancel all our vacation plans including the Disney cruise that we dreamed of for so long.
Does anyone know if I can postpone the cruise with Disney or do I have to cancel and claim on my insurance ?
JEN: PM your address and I'll send you $$ for the lanyards, at least we can use them for a future trip.

To everyone, please give your loved ones a huge hug and be grateful for good health and , send us all the pixie dust and prayers you can spare.

HAVE A GREAT CRUISE....WISH WE WERE THERE ......

Tony, im so sorry to hear this. i hope the surgery goes really well. my family and I are sending our thoughts and prayers to you and your family

Evening all. Busy here planning orders for our business as next weekend is the summer trade show for the Craft & Hobby industry. It is in Orlando and if I hadn't already had the cruise booked I would have gone and tagged it on to the beginning of our holiday. Instead we are making orders via the internet but I am much happier to be going on this cruise - but perhaps I will make it to Orlando to the trade show next summer! (A good excuse to go on a paid for trip and take in a few days at Disney while I am there!)

Izzys Trunki arrived yesterday. I ordered one for her as a belated birthday gift and she is going to love it. I am saving it as a surprise. Not sure if they made it over the atlantic yet - if not have a look here : www.trunki.co.uk very cute hand luggage sized suitcases for kids that double as a ride on toy with parent handle, perfect for small legs that get tired easily while trailing round the airport! Izzy has the tiger one - it matches her personality!

I just signed up to Twitter tonight. I have a lot of friends who are into it so I thought I would give it a try - let me know if any of you are on there too...

Right, off to bed in a minute. Tomorrow is Isabelles last ballet class of the term and the parents can watch, she is so excited and of course I will LOVE going to see her. They are only 3 and 4 years old in the class and it is all about the fun of dancing rather than real serious training but she enjoys it so much!

Mel, what do you sell?? I am totally craft challenged and love to see what others can do!!! My sister had the brilliant idea for me to help make the favors tonight for my parents party - when she saw my efforts, I was relegated to making the boxes to hold the favors!!!

I made the mistake of saying "yes" when one of the guys at work asked me to join their lunch run today. OMG OMG OMG. Hills, hills and more hills. Every joint in my body aches right now. Never, ever again.

Hope everyone is feeling better - and will stay that way til it is cruise time!!!

...waiting for Tess to come home from basketball game!
Take Care

Jude -

I haven't run for 2 days! First we had rain and now I have such a runny nose that I could not imagine how to blow and run at the same time!!!! I need to figure out how to get out again in the next day or two or I will be super sore again!!!

Hope all your party planning is going well!! Have fun with the family this week!

Here are some questions to help us think happy Disney thoughts for the day:

1. When you first get on board, where are you planning on eating lunch?
Parrot cay , always !!
Sometimes one of our previous servers comes up to greet us , lovely way to start our cruise !
2. What do you do to pass time until the deck party and sail away time?
Usually I try to set into our cabin / unpack ... while Marco HELPS going out to explore or get fresh drinks for both of us ...

3. If you have cruised before, what is one activity that you really recommend? REEEEEEEEELAX !!!!FEEL THE MAGIC !!!!

4. Have you "studied" the navigator and already made plans for what you want to do on board?
Marco surely has studied a lot !!! I just go with the flow ... HE knows what I like ... and gets me there on time !!
5. At WDW, we try to do "Random Acts of Kindness" and give away fast passes to other families on our way out of the park. Are there random acts of kindness things that you can think of on the cruise?
We often offer to take pics to families , so that THEY ALL can be together in the shot !! I personally like to exchange a smile / a greeting with ... perfect strangers !! it's such a magical place !!!

CIAOOOOOO laura
