my form of being in a tizzy is list making
I have lists all over and I have a master list of my lists
I can't wait!! My DH is on the sofa calm, cool and collected too...

I'm with you Annette , spent much of today digging through the warm weather clothes and checking what still fits my son!
But soon I'll be focused on the Steelers-Ravens game. GO STEELERS!

I like the Steelers too Laura! (After my beloved Bears -who had an interesting season this year -of course!) DS-about -to-be-16 was born in Pittsburgh and I loved to watch the Steelers when I lived there! DS 9 has grown out of his bathing suit Finding a bathing suit this time of year will be a challange! Time to start calling relatives and friends!
Tracey, you can pull up a seat right next to me and Laura and share our plate of crazy with a heaping side order of nuttiness!! You are with us girl!

I've purchased more things online than ever before added up!!!! Wondering if my pics should include the UPS guy....

DS loves the Lego store in Downtown Disney. Last time we found coupons in a free tourist coupon book we got somewhere... They were like all over the place!!! Beware of the cheap breakfast places. We went to one at a steakhouse that was awful.

Annette,

Most shops now have their "resort" collections out, I saw bathing suits at walmart today, even up here in Canada, lol.

I get crazy with my lists, I use excel and make spreadsheets, and although I didn't make a list for myself this weekend, I did do a spreadsheet for a friend who has never cruised, it has options like 5 people in 2xCat 10, or 1 cat 11 & 1 cat 9, or six people in each combo or just 5 people in a Cat 4, and all this for both eastern and western, and then broken down to what each person's cost was, lol. It was so much fun to play, lol.

Oh good, other list people! Now, I don't get fancy. I jot. But I need it to remember. We also went through warm clothes about a month ago, nothing fit. So both my kids had to get new stuff! They will be stylin though!

Heres my picture of the day. My son had so much fun in the kids club, he was all tuckered out when we got there!

This was on our first cruise 11/06. DS was so exhausted from all the fun. They're so cute when they're sleeping!

Regarding the pic from Myrtle Beach....very jealous. The view out my window right now is MORE SNOW

Yes the pic of MB, SC was beautiful, but remember that the weather was in the 20's all day - really cold for us here.

was it in our discussions about carrying a bag with water and "other" drinks onboard or was that in another thread I was reading? We carry that bag on right? Wouldn't want to check at the curb because of breakage - right??!!

With the 20 day count here, my OCD, Type A, obsesive compulsive, etc . . . tendancies are really kicking in! while DH sits back and chills and wtches me run around in a tizzy!

Put your adult beverages in your carry on. You can bring a softsided cooler--but NO ice. Your stateroom host will bring you some.

Oh my goodness! I'm finally caught up on all the posts. Its been busy at work and then I got caught up in working an outage this afternoon even though I'm not on call. Yesterday I was getting my hair straightened so you guys wouldn't think I looked like a frizzy pirate.

Welcome Kelly and family!

I am so not prepared. I ordered a new swimsuit but I haven't tried it on yet. I am on a weight yo-yo so I need to dig out my summer clothes and see if anything still fits. I still haven't gotten my FE gifts or made my door magnets yet. I startd making my list. You guys are soooo far ahead of me.

I'm probably going to drive my TA crazy because now I think I'm going to drop my DCL transfers and rent a car. Alamo's prices finally came down so I can afford a car...I think I'll just pay for parking at the port. I'm staying at POR the night before the cruise.

I'm flying down on Saturday the 7th on a free ticket through SW. I can't check my ressie online since its an award ticket so I called them last week and they were able to get me on the evening nonstop back to Denver! I get to leave at 6 pm instead of 10 AM on Sunday the 15th now. Whoo Hoo! Another almost full day in the parks! My poor puppy will have to spend an extra night at the kennel but she'll be fine.

Sorry for all you guys having cold weather....can you believe that its 60 here in Denver????? Its crazy! I'm looking forward to the sun and fun though!

THANK YOU to all who answered questions about posting pics - I'll give it a try - again!
Welcome aboard to anyone that I haven't done that too.
A bit warmer in SC today - high of 46! WooHoo!!

 

[2gr8brits]

Yeah me! I finally got it! Thanks so much you guys - I can scratch that off my list!!

 

[anetnmike]

Thanks PJ!!
I am headed off to Wal Mart on my next day off!
I LOVE those sleeping kids pictures!! LOVE them.
And PJ, all I can say is that I am totally not worthy of your list making skills

 

[pjpoohbear]

I have cruised with 300+ Disers at once, twice, they have rubbed off on me, lol.

Oh no, this is my second cruise shared with Disers, think it's too late for me? Should I unsubscribe? JK
I too am totally not worthy of your lists. Mine are normally on scratch paper cause I'm really cheap!!!!

LOL! My UPS guy told my husband once - "Thanks for keeping me employed!"

 

[NotsoMinnie&Goofy]

Welcome aboard!! This will be our first Disney Cruise too. Dress up night is business casual. The other nights are casual (jeans shirt with a collar - no t-shirts, shorts, tank tops or swimsuits) -- my daughter got us a book that tells all about the Disney cruises!

 

[NotsoMinnie&Goofy]

We're leaving on Saturday, 1/31 from Plain City, OH -- hopefully leaving all of the snow and cold behind! I can identify with all of you list makers -- I keep finding lists I have made all over the house (good at making lists, not so good at keeping track of them!! ) I've finished the FEs for our group and have them and all of our gifts packed, too. I'm really looking forward to this vacation we haven't been on vacation since 2003, so we're really overdue! If any of you still need FE gifts and have Michaels Craft stores nearby, they are having wonderful sales on $1 items for kids and adults. Only 12 more days until we leave!!! We're meeting our kids and grandkids at WDW on 2/4 and enjoying 4 days there before we sail. See all of you on the 8th!!

 

[anetnmike]

Good morning everyone!
Won't it be fun to say that onboard in a few weeks? Perhaps while we are grabbing a little breakfast at the buffet while we are gazing at the ocean? I think so!
We did get a chance to go to Michael's craft store! Wow that place has some fun stuff! You all will be able to view the results of that trip if you pass by our cabin. DH has created another door magnet masterpiece for this trip. He also came up with some of the FE gift ideas at Michael's. He is great at putting things together. I am not gifted artistically but I really appreciate that gift in others. We even found a pirate hat for DS!
