A MAGICAL Columbus Day Cruise Texas style 10/6/2012

[CrusinLattas]

I think it's like they say "Go Big - or Go Home!"
and here in Texas- we should go BIG.. so bring it all!

I think as long as you can still move around the cabin you should be good - humm, wonder if I can fit a bookcase in my bags...hehehe...

OK so I went out early to buy pillowcases for DGG's. DD told me to get a dark color so of course I bought black and had them embroidered in red that say Disney Magic 2012 and then the DGG's name in the center in yellow they look fabulous. Bought the markers to have characters sign them. Bring them home yesterday and DD said. "Mom, those markers will not show up on black Pillow cases." Me - "Of course they will I bought light colors." Needless to say DD was right. But, I have decided I already have photo mats for characters to sign DGG's will just have to do without autographed pillow cases. Too close to the cruise to start fretting I am getting into relaxing mode.

TO all new posters don't forget the meet and greet at 2:30 in Studio Sea. Anxious to meet everyone.

Butting in.... It might sound odd, but bring a Clorox bleach pen and have them sign with it, if they will. The signatures will be white on the black fabric.

I put this up in our Facebook page - I booked the Dolphin Cove encounter on Grand Cayman - they are offering 20% off and kids under 8 are free (you may even ask about under 12 - they had that deal in September and have my 8 as free). I have contact info if you are interested. They pick us up at the ship at 9am.

Has anyone not started to pack like me?

I've piled a few things (mostly kids clothes) on the bed, does that count? I have a feeling Friday night is not going to be pretty at my house!

Have you tried silver sharpies? I don't know if it would show up on black fabric but it's supposed to be cute on black paper. A white or silver paint pen might work too.

I haven't. I have good intentions to do it Thursday, but I know I won't do it until Friday...night! Then, crawl out of bed around 4:00am Saturday & speed off to the airport. I'll be the one with red bloodshot eyes and looking really frazzled.

I started gathering things this morning and made my shopping list. I cannot seem to get in the mood to pack yet! Very wierd... I want to just snap my fingers and be on board.

Hahaha...same here! I have a TON of work stuff this week before the trip! Got your message- you are too kind! Guess I don't have the "required posts" to reply... We will be in 7072- just look for the 104 KRBE sign on the door!

See you REAL soon-

it's calgary alberta canada...sunny now but mini blizzard this am. had to wear a coat!

 

[Mummum]

Wow, can't believe it's snowing. It's 85° here today in south La.

I have just started packing and am already feeling overwhelmed. I'll need the cruise to recover from packing.

My kids know we are cruising, but I have kept the excursions as a surprise. Any suggestions for revealing the day's activity???

...Did a run for "last-minute" stuff tonight- snacks for the room (I LOVE M & M's)...saw some cool magnets for door decorations at Target..pack of 8 for 3 bucks..small, round ones that will work great!

Will be at the meet, but only real quick. They have scheduled a media tour at Vista Spa at the same time, so we'll have to head there...but want to say "Hola!"

Been checking the weather, looks like we should we ok...maybe a shower or two along the way, but that's it!

If I were there I'd be eating Mexican food and/ or BBQ brisket! Miss the food in Houston soooo much!

I was born and raised in Cali so I don't care to much for Tex Mex but I love a good brisket. We are staying at the drury inn and the room includes a hot breakfast and dinner, it wasn't to bad for free I would stay here again
