ooohhh, Disney sewing machine that embroiders! Lucky you! Does she take piece work?!I see a thriving buisness in her future,
at least mine! I have so little talent in that area! Would love to find someone to help me figure this thing out! I am so afraid I am going to show up with a FE my kids will be mortified for me to hang up
Man, the MNSSHP is soooo tempting but I can just see my husbands response: "I thought the whole idea was to get to port a day early so we could be well rested to start the cruise? How will we do that being in MK (b/c he would never leave early) until midnight and then driving over an hour to our room in Port Canaveral?" Don't think I'm gonna win that one. Shucks!
About our Port Canaveral room, any one staying at Country Inn and Suites pre cruise? We will see you there! We are thinking about post cruise going by DTD and maybe a resort for a late breakfast or maybe just Earl of Sandwhich (love me some Earl Sandwhich!) before we hit the road for the long drive home.
Cakesnjammom, I am sooo sorry I am nearly computer and especially forum board illiterate so I have no idea how to copy, put links in, etc BUT I will give you what I know! Maybe someone will help us out, after all it is the Disboard!
My daughter started a thread on 3/9/2009 titled "Looking for a friend for 9/19/2009 cruise" I think that's pretty close. It is under thread meets (this section) but not by date yet or anything so it is probably pretty far down the page? She used my Dis name, Kileybeth, so you could just search my post I think?
So, are you all ready for this?
199 Days!!
Now that doesn't sound to bad!
We booked through Priceline. It sounds like a great place! Cinderella is my favorite character.

I agree with you on the free breakfast. Nothing tastes better than free food. 
) so with 2 sets of teenagers legs, and two little ones carseats, it is an interesting arrangment! At least we have moved on from the days of double strollers
and for this trip are only bring one small Mac volo umbrella (usually take two) so.
The drive seemed really long but there was no cruise at the end of the road. 
Sadly, we are driving. . . from Delaware
We have driven many times over the years and it is not really horrible just very tiring. When things go well, we are there in under 14-15 hours; when they go poorly, it is a very long 24 hours. We rarely stop over night. Just as much work to unload it for night and get it all back in the car. . .
We have also flown several times as well. I adore ME to get you to the resorts and not having to rent a car. With a large family I get to bring way more luggage flying then I do when we drive! DCL bus from MCO would be so nice but it gets spendy with 6 people!
We will drive our own vehicle. And with 2 adults and 4 kids that means very little room for luggage (DH will not put anything on top of the car ever for any reason
carseats, it is an interesting arrangment! At least we have moved on from the days of double strollers
We are driving too. It is about a 24 hour drive. I don't drive so my poor DH has to do it all. We did it last year as well. I was surprised at how well the kids did. When we stopped we got gas, food and bathroom all at the same time and then ate in the car.
My husband would be the first one to veto that option by saying it is bad enough that we have to take my mother (75 yrs.old) with us on vacation, but, to have her in the car for more than a 2 hour trip is too much to handle. I just pray they don't throw eachother overboard! They were okay with last year's cruise, so we will see about this one, now that we have adjoining cabins. Another thing I was just thinking was if we were within driving distance, I would be taking a cruise more often, and I don't think DH would care for that one either!:rotfl2[/SIZE]
LCrain, I know what you are saying, I just booked, cancelled, and rebooked this cruise since February myself. The only thing I have ever planned so far in advance was a Family reunion and that was only b/c I was trying to coordinate 57 people and rent a whole floor of a hotel! When we fly, I actually get to take more luggage then when we drive Even an extended length minivan can only hold so much after you put 6 people in it! I will try to PM you soon! Where are you in Maryland? We could be neighbors practically. My closest Wal*art is in Elkton, MD, DH just did three days in Baltimore this week for work, and every now and then we need a Cracker Barrel fix (not sure why, it's never as good as when you really had to go south and be traveling along I-95 to get it!
